Chapter Seventy-Two: Cannibalism

As soon as the supplies from the rear were delivered to the battalion, many soldiers began to whisper.

"What you say is true"? One soldier expressed skepticism.

"Is that still fake? Now His Holiness has decreed a thorough investigation into the matter, and evidence will soon be found." Another soldier said.

"You're in the barracks, the news is closed, so I don't know, and now it's been rumored outside." The soldiers who came in to carry the grain whispered to them after the handover.

Soon, the news spread throughout the camp and was confirmed by a number of people.

"I am afraid this news is true", said one soldier to the others after a night patrol: "The envoy of the Kangle people came last night, and brought something we do not know, but he must have come, and he left in the middle of the night".

"Yes, we all saw it." His teammates rushed to testify on his behalf.

"When we went to the city to buy something a few days ago, the owner of the horse seller also asked us, saying what would you do if your general surrendered? We say, who did you listen to, how could our great general surrender? He said, he'd heard about it, too, -- isn't that a bit of an eyebrow?" The person in charge of procurement also said.

"After the people who went out to investigate the enemy situation came back in those days, they also said that they had met a group of Kangle people, but there was no conflict between the two sides, and the Kangle people were quite polite, saying when are you coming? We're all set. They say, "What did you do in the past?" You have your own country. Those people said, what each has a country, and we will all be Kangle people in the future, didn't your general tell you?" A soldier who didn't know what he was doing said.

At first, it was just a few people preaching, and then all people were preaching. And there is more and more evidence: someone saw Lu Yuanhang write a letter at night, and then let someone send it to the other side. Some people saw him take the opportunity to go to the toilet to secretly meet with the enemy, and some even claimed that he had sent a letter to Lu Yuanhang.

At first, some people were suspicious of these rumors, but later, even if they felt suspicious, they explained it in their hearts. To this day, there is hardly anyone who does not know that their great general is going to commit treason.

The so-called public mouth is full of money, accumulation and destruction, one lie is a lie, all people lie together, the lie has the effect of telling the truth, and now, the whole country is already lying. Even Lidson didn't expect that they just farted and it turned out to be a gust of wind, or a hurricane.

"We can withdraw, now, even if there is no evidence, it is enough to kill him." When Lidson said this, there was no joy in his tone, only heaviness.

Lu Yuanhang naturally heard these rumors, but when he heard them, it had reached an extent that it could not be saved.

"Why didn't you stop such rumors when they just spread"? Lu Yuanhang was full of sadness even when he was angry, and he had already seen his end.

"When the subordinates knew, they couldn't control it." His confidant, General Zuo, Modal, looked frustrated, but he did not feel the seriousness of the problem.

"What about the others? They are all deaf, blind, and mute"! He finally couldn't help but erupt, like a beast with its bloody mouth open.

All the people kept their heads down and did not dare to look him in the eye. Lu Yuanhang was still angry, but he was helpless, he waved his hand to everyone, let them go down, and sat alone in the big tent, quietly waiting for the arrival of fate.

Soon, the man who decided his fate came. An Dongyang, the new head of the Internal Affairs Office, held the holy decree in his hand, took a hundred Praetorian Guards, escorted the prisoner cart, and entered the camp.

"General, kneel down and take orders." He seemed very polite, and occasionally made a gesture of goodwill to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuanhang put down the incense case and knelt down to receive the order.

"Holy Decree: The great general of Situ, the prince and the prince of Taifu, sailed away, a very popular minister, a high-ranking official, but he did not want to serve the country, and he had a rebellious heart. The pre-military affairs are to be handled by General Jiang Qingqun with full authority." After reciting it, he passed the decree with both hands.

After Lu Yuanhang thanked him, he held the holy decree high above his head, slowly stood up, and then put down the holy decree and put it in his sleeve.

"My lord, when are we leaving?" An Dongyang immediately urged him to get up, because he knew that he was in the tiger's den now, and if he stayed for a minute longer, there would be more danger.

"You can leave now", he looked no different from usual, and his tone of voice was very steady: "I have already arranged the delivery of the matter, and General Jiang can work after entering the account." He calmly walked to the prisoner car, swooped down, got inside, and then closed the door of the prisoner car.

"Whew"!

Suddenly, the surrounding soldiers all drew their sabers and surrounded the forbidden army and An Dongyang. Seeing that the situation was not right, the forbidden army also drew their swords one after another and faced them.

Where has An Dongyang seen this kind of formation, he was immediately paralyzed to the ground in fright, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he couldn't say a word.

Lu Yuanhang sat motionless in the prison car, and said to An Dongyang with a smile on his face: "Lord An, if the old man wants to rebel, it is too late now." However, the old man is a native of Mingsha Mountain, and the people of Mingsha Mountain are against Mingsha Mountain, where else can it be tolerated? Generals, put away your weapons."

Everyone had no choice but to put their knives into their sheaths and stand aside. watched Lu Yuanhang being escorted away.

Along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, hungry and thirsty, and came to Withered Leaf Town in a day. The townspeople had already gotten the news that he had been escorted back, and a long street was crowded with people. Some of these people took eggs, some took turnips, some took tomatoes, some took peppers, some brought water, and some came with pig's blood...... as long as they wanted to get it, could use it, and felt that it was easy to use, all of them moved out. However, this is not to greet him or cook him a good lunch. The purpose of these people was to smash him to death with the things in their hands. In their hearts, he is already a complete traitor, a rebel who destroys humanity.

"Kill this dog thing"!

As the first tomato bloomed on the prisoner's cart, all kinds of vegetables arrived, and dung water, pig blood, and urine were also splashed like rain.

"Beat him to death, hit him hard"!

"Cut off the flesh, I will eat his flesh raw"!

"I will drink his blood"!

This anger from the heart stems from blind hatred. Lu Yuanhang is indeed not a loyal, but he is not a traitor either, just because of a rumor in a sensitive period, he was unjustifiably defined by the public. But now, he doesn't think it's strange, he's seen more crazy things, more thrilling scenes.

After throwing the things in their hands, people began to pick up the things around them, stones, wooden blocks, branches, everything they could pick up and throw out, and the people who came up behind even began to pick up the things that fell on the ground.

The unlucky escort officer An Dongyang, and the forbidden soldiers, who had to protect themselves and the prisoners, were beaten one by one with a blue nose and swollen face, and complained bitterly. But the people became even more frenzied, and they began to storm the Praetorian Army, intending to rush to the side of the prisoner cart and carry out a deadly attack on the enemy. The Forbidden Army had to confront them, being pushed around by them.

After a fierce confrontation, the protective circle of the forbidden army was rushed open, and a group of people rushed in desperately, with crazy roars in their mouths.

All the people were in a state of madness, they broke up the forbidden army, opened the prisoner cart, pulled Lu Yuanhang out of it, and pushed it into a circle of people.

All sounds disappeared in an instant, all movements stopped, and even their heartbeats, their breathing, and their thoughts came to a standstill. Time at this moment, pressed the pause button.

But the short silence was for a more violent outburst, and suddenly, a person rushed into the crowd with a heart-rending scream, pounced on Lu Yuanhang's body without hesitation, and bit down the bare part of his shoulder.

After a scream, Lu Yuanhang pushed the man away, but the flesh on his arm had been bitten off by him, and he was chewing on blood at the moment, with a terrible smile on his face.

This tragic scene stunned the crowd for a moment, and then they pounced together, like a pack of hungry hyenas, fighting to tear food, and the most primitive nature of human beings was exposed at this moment.

In just a few minutes, people retreated layer by layer, and as the last few people got up from the ground, Lu Yuantu, who had just been standing alive, was left with only a bunch of randomly placed skeletons of Baisensen. In the end, these skeletons were also snatched away, and only the piece of red that could not be snatched away proved the story that had just happened.
