Chapter 043: Mass Graves

When Xiao Yi and Zhao Xu's figures disappeared, Qingchen suddenly spoke: "Nightfall." ”

"The subordinates are here. Still dressed in black, Nightshade jumped in from the window, unlocked Qingchen's acupoint, and then turned around to wake up Huai Jin and Ji Yu on the ground.

"Xiao Yi, where are they going?" Qingchen asked.

"Eastern suburbs. Nightshade said, "My subordinates come and have a look?"

"No need, I'll go by myself, you and Huai Jin and Zhan Yu stay here, they know what to do. After Qingchen finished speaking, he got up, and like Xiao Yi, jumped out of the window lattice and headed towards the eastern suburbs of Kyoto.

In winter, when it gets dark early, Kyoto in the country of Ningyue has long been plunged into darkness, and there are no people on the streets, only scattered candlelight shines through the cracks in the windows of each house, and the lights and shadows are full of lights.

In the past, she only knew that Xiao Yi went to the light smoke and willows with great fanfare during the day, but she would avoid Xiao Ling's eyeliner and go out at night, but she never asked him what he was doing. However, meeting Xiao Yat in the Star Picking Tower that night made her inadvertently know Xiao Yat's plan, which made her suspicious.

Xiao Yi's speed was very fast, Qingchen used his light skills to the extreme, and she couldn't see half of Xiao Yi's shadow, but she knew that Xiao Yi had gone to the eastern suburbs, so she just went towards the eastern suburbs.

The eastern suburbs of Kyoto in the country of Ningyue is a mountain, called the Night Crying Mountain, although it is not called a strange and strange wonder, but it is also strange and rocky, the trees are luxuriant, and few people will be on this mountain, because everyone rumors, there are some very terrifying ghosts on this mountain crying in the middle of the night and get the name, plus the yamen will wrap those criminals who died in prison and no one recognizes the body with a straw mat, and throw them here to feed the wild dogs and it is even more terrifying.

Over time, the mountain became a desolate cemetery, and the convicts who had been beheaded or executed, with no one to help them collect their bones, would be thrown here and finally disappear in the wind, frost, rain and snow.

The Ye family is full of doors and three thousand hidden guards, and they are also here.

When Mu Qingchen followed Xiao Yi's whereabouts and stepped into the Night Crying Mountain, a cold breath that penetrated deep into the bone marrow came to his face, accompanied by the cold wind of this winter night, blowing the rattling branches and leaves, it was really like a hundred ghosts crying at night, at this moment, even the mottled and overlapping tree shadows suddenly felt eerie and terrifying.

Qingchen walked in the forest, Rao is eyesight was outstanding, but he could still only see the situation around him, and listened attentively, but there was only the sound of her breathing in the forest, and the silence was a little excessive.

Xiao Yi had long since lost his traces, so Qingchen could only rely on his past experience and extraordinary courage to walk through this forest, bypassing the canine teeth and branches, and continuing to move forward.

"Master, it's right ahead. Suddenly, a man's voice came from the otherwise quiet woods, slightly low and familiar.

Qingchen was startled, hurriedly held his breath, leaned his body against a big tree to cover, and listened attentively, but there was a sound of squirming footsteps walking by, and it disappeared in an instant.

She knew that the person's voice was Zhao Xu, who had clicked on her acupoint not long ago, so the master in his mouth was naturally Xiao Yi.

Sure enough!

An inexplicable look flashed in Qingchen's eyes, this place is inaccessible, but I don't know what Xiao Yida is doing here at night?

Thinking of this, Qingchen took a light step and followed behind the two of them, through the woods, to a clearing in the forest.

It is not so much an open space as a cemetery, because what appeared in front of Qingchen's eyes at this time turned out to be a huge corpse pit, which was densely packed with all kinds of corpses, so he quickly filled this corpse pit.

For a while, a huge shock flashed through Mu Qingchen's heart, this corpse pit obviously can't be dug overnight, and looking at Xiao Yi's attitude, he obviously attaches great importance to this place, so what does this corpse pit, or these corpses, have to do with him?

"How many people are here?" Xiao Yi asked coldly.

"Master Qiqi, his subordinates were afraid of being discovered, so they didn't dare to bring too many people, and only twenty of them came. Zhao Xu said.

At the moment when Zhao Xu's words fell, several fierce wind-breaking sounds suddenly sounded in the forest, and then the sound of clothes brushing the leaves sounded, and then twenty black shadows jumped down from the air and half-knelt in front of Xiao Yi:

"Subordinates see the Lord!"

"Get up, you only have one night to find the corpse of the Ye family from here and transport it away. Xiao Yi opened his mouth and commanded.

"The subordinates receive the order. Twenty men in black got up, ten of them lit the torches they had with them, and the other ten jumped off the pit without hesitation, and by the light of the fire, began to rummage.

Mu Qingchen looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes widened, and his heart was shocked.

How could she not have thought of collecting the bones for the Ye family? Unfortunately, when she first arrived in Ningyue as the princess of the Jade Hook, she was frightened every step of the way, and she was cautious everywhere, and she did not dare to make a mistake at all, for fear that she would fall into the hands of Xiao Ling and the Queen Mother, causing suspicion.

What's more, the Ye family was beheaded for public display, the corpses were separated, and they were thrown into this mass grave, and after a few months, they had already been dilapidated, and the Ye family was full of more than 200 people, plus 3,000 hidden guards, it was not easy to find them.

However, she didn't expect that while she was hesitating to look ahead and backwards, Xiao Yi did all this in secret and quietly.

With mixed feelings in his heart, Qingchen used the light of the fire to see the heads and corpses that were bumped up by the man in black from the corpse pit, those ...... They were all her relatives at one time.

Inadvertently set his eyes on Xiao Yi, Qingchen had even more doubts in his heart, the Ye family was wiped out for the crime of great rebellion, and everyone was unlucky, not to mention that Xiao Ling was already guarding against Xiao Yi, if Xiao Ling knew that Xiao Yi was hiding from him to collect the bones for the Ye family, but he didn't know how to feel.

And what she doesn't know is why Xiao Yi took such a big risk.

"Master, there are more than 200 people in the Ye family, I'm afraid it will be difficult to transport it away for a while, if someone comes to see the master here, it will be troublesome, not to mention that the princess is still in the master's room, it is better for the master to leave first, just leave it to his subordinates here." Zhao Xu said.

"No need, I want to personally find the corpses of the second elder of the Ye family and help them bury them with my own hands, this is the only thing I can do for her now. Xiao Yi shook his hand, signaling that Zhao Xu didn't need to say much, but in the next moment, he also jumped into the corpse pit.

The bodies of those corpses were full of rotting gas, some had been burned by fire, some had been cut in half, some had been beheaded...... In short, the few intact corpses, almost all of them were unrecognizable, placed in this deserted place, corroded by turbidity, and bitten by insects and ants.

Qingchen looked at it like that, the face of the man in black had a masked scarf, and she couldn't see the expression clearly, but she saw the expression on Xiao Yi's face clearly, it was an unprecedented solemnity, and it was also a seriousness she had never seen.

At this time, Xiao Yi seemed to be doing the most important thing in his life, but suddenly, he saw Xiao Yi's movements suddenly stopped, and after a while, he took out a jade pendant from the corpse pit, which belonged to Ye Hong, the former Dingguo Gong.

"Zhao Xu, come over and help. Xiao Yi spoke.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he hurriedly inserted the torch in his hand into the ground of the corpse pit, jumped off the corpse pit, and joined forces with Xiao Yi to move the corpse pressed above, revealing the corpse below, which was Ye Chengcheng's parents.

The two of them carried up the corpse of the second elder of the Ye family and put it on the open ground, Qingchen saw very clearly that Xiao Yi was holding his father's head in his hand, and put it together with the corpse to become complete.

Father......

Qingchen whispered in his heart, and his steps involuntarily moved forward, almost walking in front of Xiao Yi and kowtowing to his parents.

But after taking two steps, Qingchen stepped on the branch on the ground, and the small sound made her come back to her senses suddenly, and she immediately stopped and hid behind the big tree.

Xiao Yi only stared intently at the second elder of the Ye family in front of him, who had returned to the Western Realm, and did not notice that there was anything wrong, but Zhao Xu glanced in the direction where Qingchen was, but did not find anything unusual, so he turned his head and looked at Xiao Yi.

"Master, Zhao Yan is already waiting over there, it's better to let his subordinates send Master Ye and Mrs. Ye over first, it's not too early, the master is not suitable to be exposed at the moment, it's better to go back to the palace first." Zhao Xu opened his mouth to persuade, "Please rest assured, the subordinates will definitely bury Master Ye and Mrs. Ye well." ”

"I'll go personally. "Xiao Yi is stubborn.

"Master, the princess is still listening to Yuxuan, if she knows...... Please also ask the master to focus on the overall situation. Zhao Xu knelt in front of Xiao Yi and said.

"Don't you think that the princess is a weak woman? if she wants to know, there is naturally her way to find out, and she is fine with me at present. Xiao Yi sneered, "What's more, in the past, I couldn't come back in time and left regrets, but now I always have to do something for her to feel at ease." ”

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he ordered the black-clothed people who were still looking for the corpse of the Ye family, and then escorted the corpse of the second elder of the Ye family with Zhao Xu out of here.

The forest suddenly fell silent again, leaving only the sound of those black-clothed people looking for the corpse, Qingchen saw Xiao Yi far away, his heart was suffocated, and he seemed to be a little out of breath, and finally glanced towards the place of the corpse pit, and a touch of fierceness flashed in his eyes, revealing a touch of firmness.

After the night crying mountain, Qingchen looked at the sky, calculated the time, it was already the middle time, and after a while, the sky should be bright, so he no longer hesitated, directly lifted his breath, and performed light skills to return to the Yiwang Mansion from the original way.

Huai Jin and Shu Yu stood at the door of Tingyu Xuan, and told people that the prince and the princess had rested, and Ye Di pretended to be Xiao Yi in the house, occasionally making some movements, so that Qin Zhong did not suspect anything, so he went to rest.

Seeing Qingchen, Ye Di breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Landlord, why have you been there for so long? It's been all night!"

"It's okay, you let Huai Jin and Ji Yu come in, and make it look like when Xiao Yi left, he's coming back soon. ”

Qingchen said, restoring everything in this room to its original state, still sitting at the table, pretending to be lit and motionless, looking at the candles in the room in a daze.

Xiao Yi entered through the back window, a robe on his body had long been stained with the turbidity in the corpse pit, and there was a smell of rotting corpses all over his body, but Qingchen was like a taste, only looking at Xiao Yi, his heart fluctuated.
