Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Great Swallow of the Northern Kingdom (Part II)

The wind swept up the yellow sand, the heads fell all over the ground, and the old city wall built a hundred years ago, known as the Buluo Xiongcheng, has completely become a thing of the past at this moment.

Not long after the Assassin left, Beidi's army followed, and the demoralized defenders barely resisted for two or three days, and the century-old city changed hands.

The Beidi army left only 1,000 people to guard, and the rest of the people continued to gallop wildly, the smell of horse urine mixed with the smell of milk wine, plus the smell of mutton and sweat on those Beidi's bodies, if it was on a windy day, I was afraid that the people and horses had not arrived, and the taste would come first.

Beidi went all the way south, although the military towns along the way resisted slightly, how could it be that the only backbone Xiao Yuan had been assassinated at this time, plus the cavalry originally stationed there, they were all transferred to the south of Yan for some reason, and the Beidi army had already advanced a thousand miles south within ten days. This is almost the speed of the infantry's sleepless continuous march.

At this moment, Xi, who should have been on the way back to Xianyang, was standing in the first city that was breached, inside and outside the city, in the street and in the house, except for the two-legged eagle and the four-legged wolf, there was no living thing.

In the city, in the courtyard of the city guard's mansion, the corpses of the Northern Yan soldiers and the birds and beasts that were tearing the dried meat were all over the ground.

The most rumored golden armor was only a shriveled head with a golden helmet, tied with ropes and hanging high above the gate of the castle guard's mansion.

In the backyard and in the prison on the edge of the castle guard's mansion, there were corpses dressed only in single clothes, but there were no signs of destruction by wolves and eagles.

All the corpses had long tongues, bulging eyes, and ten fingernails that were unusually purple-red. This is exactly the trace left by the secret poison of the wizards of Beidi.

As for the wolf and the eagle, they can smell the poison and avoid it.

The barbarians of Beidi believed that the wolf and the eagle were the bodies of the gods in the world, the eyes and ears of the gods. So the wolf and the eagle are sacrosanct.

The woman with a gun, Vitex Leaf, who had delivered letters to the various border gates, squatted down, dipped a little bit of food residue from the fragments of the clay bowl that had fallen to the ground, and put it in her mouth to taste it. Then he nodded, it was Beidi's secret medicine that was good.

Xi continued to circle around this city guard's mansion, the only purpose of this trip was not to appreciate how Yan Guo was slaughtered, but to find two things, one was the traces left by the assassin at the beginning of the attack, but to find the broken golden armor, with these two things, Xi could judge whether this person was a disciple of the Great Qin Sword Saint.

A few days ago, Qin Bingshen's sword was handed over to him along with a secret letter from the Empress Dowager of Yan, which mentioned that although this person was using an ash spear, it was the internal force of the Great Qin Sword Saint's lineage, and the matter was very important, and the heads of Qin and Yan jointly demanded that Xi must find out where the assassin came from.

That Qin Bingshen's sword, after Xi's screening, is indeed a standard sword issued by the secret guard. However, the internal force can be faked, let alone a matching sword. So Xi arrived here to find out the identity of the assassin.

If it weren't for the fact that the young king of Yan State realized that something was wrong, I am afraid that Qin and Yan would have already started a war at this moment, and under the attack of Beidi and the north and south, whether Yan State could continue to exist is two words.

Xi was a little worried at the moment, the body of the guard who had been told to be placed in the castle guard mansion was missing, could someone come and destroy the evidence.

If this is the case, wouldn't there be no three hundred taels of silver here?

The key is how to convince the Empress Dowager of Yan that this matter was really not done by Qin State. After all, the Sword Master has already had the bad deeds of assassinating King Yan.

"Look, sir!"
