Huang Yuchen followed Huang Yuanwu and walked on the street of Dongxuancheng at dawn, looking at the surrounding smoke and mess, a sense of depression lingered in his heart.

There was a complex smell in the air, and it was the smell of the aftermath of the fire.

The shops on both sides of the main street were very few destroyed, and most of the burned houses were concentrated in the residential areas of the common people, and the enemy's purpose was obvious and targeted.

They seem to have formed some kind of tacit understanding, and in Dongxuan City, all attacks are directed at the people. On the surface, it seems that he wants to exhaust the soldiers of Dongxuancheng, but in fact, it is murderous.

The streets were crowded with people, but everyone was whispering, and no one was making a loud noise.

People whose families had passed away sobbed quietly. A charred corpse was placed on the street, and it was shocking to see.

No one realized the arrival of Huang Yuanwu, at this moment, what imperial power and royal law seemed so insignificant.

The two walked quietly on the street, looking around, but they didn't talk to anyone, and no one noticed their arrival along the way.

Everyone was silent in a deep sadness, unable to extricate themselves.

Early in the morning, martial law in Dongxuancheng was revoked.

The gates were wide open, but there was no more traffic than before. The doors of each shop are closed, and the entire Dongxuan City is lifeless.

After personally inspecting the loss of the entire Dongxuan City, Huang Yuanwu's face sank like water, and he took Huang Yuchen and walked in the direction of Wufu again.

After seeing the scene in Dongxuan City, Huang Yuchen's heart was full of thoughts.

Since he was a child, he has longed for the battlefield, and feels that men are ambitious in all directions, on the battlefield, sweating and bleeding, which is a happy thing in the world.

But now when I see Dongxuancheng like this, my heart is sad.

This was only a small amount of turmoil caused by the enemy's small efforts, and the damage was negligible for the millions of people under the rule of the Eastern Palace. But for the people whose homes were destroyed and their innocent relatives were killed, it was a catastrophe.

For the first time, he realized that the wounds inflicted on innocent people by killing and conquering may be irreparable.

He saw with his own eyes a child of less than four years old, lying on the charred corpses of his parents, wailing and crying, hoarse and exhausted.

He saw with his own eyes that a sergeant on duty returned to his burned home, looked at the mess, all his relatives were gone, desperately picked up the collapsed house, dug out his relatives one by one, hugged the corpses, looked up to the sky and howled, tears were like springs, but he couldn't cry sound.

He saw with his own eyes that a wealthy family, the whole family was slaughtered, only one and a half children were left, looking at the corpses of relatives and servants placed outside the courtyard, panicked, stunned on the spot, and his eyes were scattered.

For these people, even if the enemy is broken into thousands of pieces, even if the empire gives more compensation, it will not help.

It's gone, it's gone. When it's really gone, I know what it means to be gone.

Huang Yuchen's mind was heavy, following Huang Yuanwu's steps, thinking about the miserable scene he had just seen.

In his impression, the conquest and killing have changed, no longer as dazzling as before, but with a little blood color.

Entering the Martial Mansion, the two of them entered the hall directly, and saw Yu Sheng who was sitting on a chair, Yu Sheng looked up, and Huang Yuchen saw a full bloodshot in his eyes. On the table next to it, there was a stack of papers, which should be last night's report.

Yu Sheng saw Huang Yuanwu come in and wanted to get up, but when he saw Huang Yuanwu waving his hand, he sat down again.

Huang Yuanwu sat on the edge of Yu Sheng, picked up the report on the table, and Huang Yuchen stood behind him with a solemn face.

"Last night two thousand two hundred and three people died, and the sergeants were killed, forty-six. Dark Sentinel killed, thirty-seven. A total of one hundred and five enemies were killed, and none of them survived. Yu Sheng saw Huang Yuanwu sit down and whispered a string of numbers, his voice was very hoarse, and it sounded very uncomfortable.

Up to now, he hasn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights for the rest of his life, but now that the city is like this, there are still many things he can't wait to do, and he can't rest yet.

Huang Yuanwu sighed lightly, looked at the rest of his life, and said, "Don't blame yourself, we have done our best in this matter." ”

Yu Sheng didn't speak, just shook his head gloomily.

Did you do your best? Naturally, you did your best, you did your best. He calculated all the directions in which the enemy might attack, and the only thing he didn't expect was that they would directly attack the civilians.

The enemy's strategy, as if planned for a long time, is interlocking, making it difficult for him to finish, and finally protecting what he thinks is the most important place, but losing the direction that really matters.

But even if you see it clearly for the rest of your life, you can't help it, how can a place as big as Dongxuancheng rely on only 3,000 defenders.

What's more, the enemy only used such a small amount of money to make himself anxious, the main reason is that the enemy is hiding in the shadows, making himself unable to guard against it, unable to concentrate his forces in one place, and can only be restrained everywhere, which eventually caused the current situation.

"In the mansion, how much money is left?" Huang Yuanwu saw that Yu Sheng did not speak, so he asked.

Yu Sheng thought for a moment, and replied in his already extremely hoarse voice: "Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, all of them are cash silver, and they were allocated by the Dongfu last month." ”

Huang Yuanwu nodded lightly and said, "Brother Yu, you give a few orders." As he spoke, he looked at Yu Sheng and said solemnly: "First, in several other cities, a large number of soldiers were mobilized to enter Dongxuan City and help the people of Dongxuan City rebuild their houses. Second, all the reconstruction costs are all borne by the Dongxuancheng City Lord's Mansion. Third, the soldiers who died in the war were each given a pension of 2,000 taels of silver, and their social relations were recorded. Fourth, transfer the defense, and station the existing defenders of Dongxuan City to other cities for a month. ”

"Okay, I'll do it. Yu Sheng nodded, got up and was about to go out, but heard Huang Yuanwu say again: "It's been two days, and the other three city lord seniors have not heard from each other, so they sent a team of sergeants to the front to greet them." ”

"Good. Yu Sheng agreed, and walked outside.

Huang Yuchen stood behind Huang Yuanwu, bowed his head and pondered, he looked at the formation inscription carved in the palm of his hand, thoughtful.

On this page, he didn't dare to remove this formation inscription, for fear that the enemy would suddenly attack, so he released the formation rune paper again, and he was always on guard. Looking at it now, it seems like this thing is useless.

Thinking like this, he was about to remove the talisman in his hand, and suddenly, the surrounding aura fluctuated strangely, and it trembled slightly, and a transparent barrier rose all around, and quickly gathered, and in just a moment, it wrapped Huang Yuanwu, Yu Sheng and Huang Yuchen in it.

"Not good!" Huang Yuchen frowned, and immediately began to carve the spell. And the rest of his life, who was walking forward, obviously didn't realize that he was in a barrier, and actually hit it directly, and he was bounced away, and sat on the ground, a little dazed.

The spell was quickly carved, and the pale yellow spell mark appeared in the air, forming a spell to break the barrier formation, only to see Huang Yuchen pinch the trick with both hands, and shouted: "Break!" The pale yellow spell mark suddenly collapsed, turning into thousands of points of light, flying around, and suddenly pounced on the surrounding transparent barrier.

Unexpectedly, there was not the slightest movement in the surrounding barrier formation, and tens of thousands of points of light did not enter the formation, silently, without the slightest ripple.

For the rest of his life, because he didn't rest for a few days, his brain turned a little slowly, and he sat on the ground by the barrier bullet, and saw Huang Yuchen suddenly cast a spell, and then he suddenly woke up, and quickly bounced on the ground, and the red fighting spirit of his whole body surged. The fighting spirit was surging, as if stirring the air, and in this sealed barrier, he actually blew the hem of his long hair and clothes, and danced slowly.

Huang Yuanwu didn't move, sat quietly on the chair, picked up the tea that was already a little cold next to him, and took a sip.

"What kind of person! actually use these indiscriminate yin methods, have the ability to come out!" The rest of his life was furious, just experienced the burning of Dongxuan City, although he killed a lot of small works hidden in the city, but he didn't know who was the person behind the scenes, and at this moment, the other party suddenly attacked, how could he not let him be angry.

Huang Yuchen, after casting a spell mark to break the formation, but it didn't have any effect, his brows tightened. Using his whole body fighting energy, he quickly gathered on his hands, and the formation spell engraved on his hands suddenly lit up, and he was about to shoot towards the barrier behind him.

"Little Brother ......"

Suddenly, a voice came, as if it was in Huang Yuchen's ears, he was suddenly startled, stopped his movements, and looked around, but he couldn't see any trace of the enemy.

"You have a good talent in formation, and you know many ways to crack it, but if you want to break through this barrier, you still have to waste some effort. This voice spoke again, Huang Yuchen wanted to look around, but still couldn't see any trace of the enemy, through this transparent barrier, everything in the room came into view, except for Huang Yuanwu and the rest of his life, there was no one else in this room.

Huang Yuanwu and Yu Sheng obviously heard this voice, Yu Sheng glared angrily, and looked around for someone like Huang Yuchen, but Huang Yuanwu behaved lightly and continued to drink tea.

"Don't look for it, I'm not here, this formation was also arranged a long time ago, and it is just used to transmit sound. The voice sounded a little old, but the tone was calm, without the slightest hint of provocation.

"Who are you, what are you doing?" asked Yu Sheng aloud, and he quickly checked all the places, neither in his eyes nor in his spiritual sense, and found no sign of anyone else.

Huang Yuchen's eyes showed a look of horror, this formation transmission sound, he had seen it in the classics, this is a mysterious formation, which can transmit sound for thousands of miles, but it is extremely difficult to arrange, compared to the teleportation formation, it is not much simpler. The formation layout also requires a lot of rare materials, and once it is launched, it will lose a lot.

He looked closely at the edges of the barrier, and saw that the edges of the barrier were all over the cracks in the bricks that paved the floor, and his mind was immediately clear.

This formation, I'm afraid it's hidden under the blue bricks, it should have been arranged a long time ago......
