Chapter 308: Not Guilty
"The whole army entered Zhu'an City and took the city defense...... Bury the deceased. Ye Guan looked indifferent, whispered a word to Kou Long, and turned to leave. Leaving Kou Long standing in place, a little at a loss, Ye Guan left for a while before he reacted, and immediately went out of the courtyard gate and ran towards the city gate.
Ye Guan walked out of the courtyard, with a heavy heart, at ten o'clock in the early night, walking on the wide and silent streets of Zhu'an City, listening to his footsteps, and walking aimlessly.
With the help of the faint light, he looked left and right at the buildings on the street, taverns, tea houses, grain stores, grocery stores, large restaurants, and silk and satin houses.
All the shops I saw were in a welcoming state, but there was no one in the shops.
In a trance, you can still see the lively situation in the tavern and tea house in the past, and the streets are full of traffic and people.
Ye Guan stood at the door of a tavern, took a deep breath, and raised his legs to enter the door of the tavern.
The store was small, with only seven or eight tables, a simple counter facing the door, and shelves in the back full of wine jars. On the counter, there is a bowl of tea, next to it, is the tavern's account book, the brush is well placed aside, the whole counter, clean and tidy.
A candle was lit, and through the dim light of the candle, I saw that on the ledger, there was a note on the accounts of the tavern, handwritten, and the pen should be a reader.
In the cabinet inside the counter, there were some scattered silver taels and copper coins, which had not yet had time to be sorted out and were scattered into a mess.
Ye Guan sighed softly, turned around and took a jar of wine on the shelf behind him, walked to a table, sat down gently, patted the mud seal of the wine jar, and suddenly a smell of wine entered his nose.
Pick up the jar and drink freely.
A spicy sensation came from his chest and quickly descended.
Soon, the spicy sensation disappeared and was replaced by a strong warmth.
It's not a good wine, but Ye Guan thinks it's a good wine.
Without stopping, he drank all the wine that was left in the jar.
He hadn't touched alcohol for more than a decade, since his physical injury. For the first time in more than ten years, this is the first time.
Without the old wounds that were silent in the body, with Ye Guan's cultivation, he could not get drunk with a thousand cups.
But that night, he was drunk and drunk.
When Ding Jiang and Kou Long came over, the ground was full of wine jars, and Ye Guan drank all the wine on the shelves of the entire tavern, drinking with tears in his eyes and his face flushed.
"Go...... Checkout!" Ye Guan looked at Ding Jiang and Kou Long with hazy eyes, with a smile on his face, drunk, pointed to the counter, and asked the two of them to settle the bill for him.
Ding Jiang and Kou Long glanced at each other, but neither spoke to each other. Ding Jiang stepped forward to help Ye Guan up and walked out of the door of the tavern. Koron took out a silver ingot from his bosom and solemnly placed it on the counter.
In the cold night, Ding Jiang helped Ye Guan, who could no longer walk in a straight line, and Kou Long followed behind, walking on the quiet streets of Zhu'an City, with Haoyue at the head.
"Haoyue is in the sky! What a beautiful scenery in the world!Hahahaha......" Ye Guan looked up at the bright moon in the sky, with the smell of wine, shouted this, laughed, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and then he couldn't cry.
"What a piece...... What a beautiful scenery in the world!" Ye Guan stretched out his hand and patted Ding Jiang's chest vigorously, tears flowing.
Ding Jiang and Kou Long were silent, and Kou Long stepped forward and put Ye Guan's arm on his shoulder, his face a little solemn.
The two of them drove the drunk Ye Guan step by step towards an inn in the city.
Zhu'an City is one of the five cities of Qiuchang, and the city lord of the entire Qiuchang City area is Shen Tuyan, and Zhu'an City has no city lord, and there is no city lord's mansion. The core building in the city is the Martial Mansion. But at this moment, the martial arts mansion was full of the corpses of the dead enclave sergeants, and Ye Guan could not be allowed to stay, so the second general could only take Ye Guan into an inn in the city and arrange it here.
put Ye Guan, who was still muttering to himself, on the bed in the inn, took off his coat and covered the quilt. Ding Jiang and Kou Long took a step back, clasped their fists one after another, and bowed respectfully to Ye Guan.
On this day, almost everything was carried down by Ye Guan alone. Later, even if the two of them have no eyesight, they can see a hint of clues. I am afraid that the vision that appeared in Zhu'an City was man-made. And in the remote courtyard later, Ye Guan was even more alone against this vision, although in the eyes of Kou Long on the side, Ye Guan was just standing quietly.
But the situation where many people suddenly died in the remote courtyard before made Kou Long know that the power that Ye Guan was fighting against was not something they could imagine at all. Especially when Kou Long saw the blood-colored hole that inexplicably appeared in Ye Guan's chest in the back, he was shocked until now.
The two of them didn't know what Ye Guan had experienced, the only thing they knew was that Ye Guan ordered all the sergeants to withdraw from Zhu'an City at the most critical moment, saving almost everyone's lives.
If the black vortex in the sky really descended again, or directly entered the camp, I dare not imagine how many sergeants would be killed and wounded.
Looking at Ye Guan's drunken appearance, the second general sighed in his heart. Naturally, they have heard a lot about Ye Guan. Ye Guan Ye is the commander-in-chief, he doesn't drink, he is not lustful, he doesn't love money, and he doesn't greed for merit. Almost a desireless character, as the lord of the five cities of Wuxing in the East Prince's Mansion, he is responsible for the training of all the soldiers, and his power is monstrous, if he wants to fill his pockets, it is easy to fill his pockets. But Ye Guan lives in a very poor house, in the city lord's mansion, all the utensils are old, it is rumored that he does not live in the master bedroom prepared for the city lord in the city lord's mansion, but sleeps in the side room, living a simple and simple life, dedicated to the people.
Such a character, but at the moment he is drunk and crying bitterly, how not to make the second general feel emotional.
"I'll keep watch, you can handle the affairs of the city. Kou Long whispered softly and said to Ding Jiang beside him, with a solemn expression.
Ding Jiang nodded, his face was pale, and he turned around and walked out of the room.
Kou Long also came out of Ye Guan's bedroom, found a chair on the side, and sat at the door of Ye Guan's room with a expressionless face.
Kou Long conveyed Ye Guan's order, and at this moment, except for a few sergeants who remained in the camp, most of the remaining sergeants had entered Zhu'an City, occupied the city defense of Zhu'an City, and cleaned up the corpses in the three courtyards all night.
In Zhu'an City, there was silence, and all the sergeants who participated in cleaning up the corpses were sinking like water.
They had never seen so many corpses of people at one time, and after a rough calculation, there were hundreds of thousands, and almost all the people in Zhu'an City were among them, men, women, and children.
They didn't know what was happening, all of them had no scars on their bodies, their faces were calm and indifferent, and the corners of their mouths were smiling. The only thing that could be recognized as an injury was the blood stains left on the corners of their mouths, and everyone was the same.
The clean-up work continued until dawn, and under the all-night cleaning of more than 10,000 soldiers, all the corpses were finally cleaned up and neatly placed on the streets of Zhu'an City.
Ding Jiang got a specific death figure.
Zhu'ancheng, dead sergeants, 6,700, no external injuries. Ninety-seven thousand six hundred and seventy-five people died, and there were no external injuries.
The wide streets of Zhu'an City were full of the corpses of ordinary people and soldiers, and all the soldiers of Dongwangfu were all heavy-faced.
A new day has come.
When Chu Yang's first ray of vision fell, Ye Guan gently opened his eyes and felt a splitting headache.
Gently getting up from the bed and looking around left and right, Ye Guan found himself in a strange place.
At this moment, the door opened, and a tired Kou Long walked in, seeing that Ye Guan had sat up, a smile appeared on his face, he took a step forward, held Ye Guan's arm, and said softly: "You are awake." ”
"Where is this?" Ye Guan was helped to stand up by Kou Long, and found that his upper body was naked, revealing solid muscles, and his previous long shirt was placed in a corner, and there were traces of blood on it, Ye Guan couldn't help frowning slightly.
"In the inn. Kou Long explained softly, took out a light-colored robe that had been prepared a long time ago, and put it on for Ye Guan.
While dressing Ye Guan, Kou Long said softly: "Last night, the cleanup work in the city has been completed, the next step, what to do, bury it on the spot?"
Kou Long's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of startling Ye Guan, he knew in his heart that Ye Guan put the affairs of the people first, and this time he saw Zhu'an City being slaughtered with his own eyes, Ye Guan's heart was indescribable.
Silence, Ye Guan didn't speak, and after putting on the long robe, he sighed softly and asked, "Have you taken over the security in the city?"
"I have taken it all over, and I have not found anything suspicious, Zhu'an City is well guarded, even if the enemy army is attacking now, there is no 100,000 troops, and the city cannot be broken. Kou Long heard that Ye Guan was asking about the affairs of the army, and hurriedly replied.
"Good. Ye Guan nodded slightly, stopped talking, raised his steps, walked out of the bedroom, went straight down the stairs of the inn, and came to the main street.
The morning sun shines down and lights up everything around. Ye Guan pushed open the door of the inn, patted the sergeant, and was standing neatly on the side of the street, forming a long row, and in front of them, the corpses of the people of Zhu'an City were neatly arranged, filling the entire main street of Zhu'an City.
Ye Guan's face was heavy, he stepped out of the door of the inn, walked forward along the main street, lowered his head, and looked at the corpses one by one, looking at their faces, as if he wanted to remember everyone in his heart.
Kou Long silently followed behind Ye Guan, with a heavy heart. Ding Jiang stood quietly at the corner of the main street, his face pale.
is also a general of the East Palace, seeing this scene, I feel like a thousand knives in my heart, and the pain is unspeakable.
"The World...... "Ye Guan walked forward slowly, looking at the faces one by one, only to feel that his eyes were moist and his steps were staggering.......
There is no injury in the body, but in the heart, there is a more serious injury.
So many innocent people died tragically on the spot, they didn't even know why they died, but they were all confused by the illusion and were willing to die. Even before he died, he was not conscious.
Among these dead people, Ye saw the corpses of countless children, some were seven or eight years old, some were one or two years old, with immature faces, and a shallow, innocent smile, but life also disappeared at this moment.
Ye Guan stood quietly next to the corpses of these children, his eyes were a little confused, and he muttered, "Children...... What's the sin?"
"The people...... What's the crime?" As he spoke, Ye looked at Kou Long beside him and asked, "What's the crime?"
Kou Long's face sank like water, and he replied softly: "People, not guilty. ”
"Not guilty...... That's our guilt. Hearing Kou Long's answer, Ye Guan took a deep breath, looked at the sleeping face of the child in front of him, and said softly: "Settle in the ground." ”
"Honorable Order. Koron received the order softly, and then waved his arm, and the sergeant on standby immediately stepped forward and carried down the corpses placed on the main street one by one.
In Zhu'an City, there are large areas of farmland, Ding Jiang chose a few of these farmlands, ordered the sergeant to dig the grave, and after midnight, a part of it was completed.
"After doing this, stand by in Zhu'an City, if the enemy attacks, kill!" Ye glanced at the sergeant who was carrying down the corpses of the people, and then said to Kou Long beside him.
"The last general will be honored. ”
Immediately, Ye Guan took a war horse, got on the horse directly, and under the early morning sun, he left Zhu'an City, followed the official road, and went away.
