Volume 2 The Flying Dragon in the Sky Chapter 72 On the Way Home
It was rainy and rainy, and the weather was not suitable for traveling. However, the two luxury carriages still drove out of the north gate of Tianyi City, and then took off and headed north.
"Sister Feng, why don't we wait for the rain to stop before leaving? Besides, why doesn't Feng Wuxiang go with us?
In the carriage, Feng Qianyu was still lying on the luxurious brocade couch, and Xiaoshan was sitting by the window. Outside the car, Yi Yu, dressed in a white coat, is playing the role of a coachman.
"We've been delaying in Tianyi City for a long time, and this rain won't stop for a while. Instead of staying in Tianyi City and being harassed by those who don't have long eyes, it is better to go back to Fengyun City as soon as possible and settle quietly. As for Wuxiang, he will go directly to Zhenbei City, and he will not go back to Fengyun Academy with us. ”
"Zhenbei City, Feng Wuxiang wants to join the army?" Xiaoshan was a little surprised.
"Emperor Wufang wants to become the emperor, and Feng Wuxiang wants to be the emperor's man, how can he do it without any military merits. In recent years, the actions of the northern wolf have become more and more frequent, and a big war is imperative. I guess not only Wuxiang, but some people who still have thoughts about Emperor Wufang are estimated to rush to Zhenbei City. Using Emperor Flawless to attract people to work hard for Great Qin, our Emperor His Majesty is really scheming!"
"Sister Feng, since you have seen through the 'conspiracy' of His Majesty our Emperor, why don't you stop Feng Wuxiang?" Xiao Shan wondered.
"The wonderful thing is that our Emperor His Majesty is not using 'conspiracy', but 'yang conspiracy'. Do you think that other people don't understand the emperor's thoughts? But there is Emperor Wufang there, and those people are not willing to go to Zhenbei City to serve Daqin, or to say that Emperor Wufang was born and died?"
After listening to Feng Qianyu's explanation, Xiaoshan nodded. As the king of a country, Emperor Hongyin has to consider the national fortunes of the entire Great Qin, especially when dealing with the sworn enemy of the Northern Wolf, sometimes it is inevitable to use some means. It's just that Di Hongyin used his own daughter as a "bait", which was really too ruthless.
"Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned. Fighting for the family and country is the duty of every Great Qin citizen, when did people become so utilitarian! Besides, even if people are for utilitarianism, isn't the royal family very rich? Isn't it enough to give some money, why use the princess of a country as bait? For the emperor, do you have to be so ruthless?"
Listening to Xiao Shan's exclamation, Feng Qianyu looked at Xiao Shan with a smile and said, "If it really comes to the time when Daqin and the Northern Wolf go to war, will you go to the battlefield?"
Xiaoshan was stunned for a moment, and then said with great certainty: "Go! Of course I won't say anything about protecting the family and defending the country." Back then, Emperor Wufang dared to guard the north gate of the town alone in the face of tens of thousands of troops of the Northern Wolf, no matter what I said, I can't compare to her as a woman!"
Feng Qianyu shook his head with a smile, and then said: "You have a sentence right: for the emperor, you have to be so ruthless! Money can indeed attract some people to work hard, but not everyone, especially some so-called 'people'. Do you think that money is incomparable, is money attractive to people like him, and what do you do to make people work for you in the face of people who are not moved by money?"
At this moment, Yiyu's voice suddenly came from outside the car.
"Wind Master, this rain is getting heavier and heavier, and I'm afraid the Wind Beast won't be able to hold on!"
Hearing this, Feng Qianyu rolled his eyes and said, "I think you can't hold it anymore! Okay, find a place to rest!"
Xiaoshan opened the curtain and looked outside, and the rain was indeed much heavier than when they had just left the city. In such a heavy rain, to maintain the Wind Beast and the carriage walking smoothly in the air is also a test for a person's cultivation, and it is indeed a little difficult to understand Yiyu.
The advantage of flying in the air is that you don't have to follow the road, just fly in a straight line, so you don't have to take detours. But there is also a downside, that is, if you land suddenly in the middle of the way, you may not necessarily land somewhere.
Xiaoshan is now facing such a dilemma: the original planned foothold has not yet arrived, and they fall like this halfway, surrounded by barren mountains and mountains.
Feng Qianyu opened the car door, glanced around, and then frowned, and his face was very unkind.
Seeing that the "female devil" was about to go berserk, Yi Yu hurriedly said: "Master Feng, don't worry, you see: this is a small road, and there should be a village nearby." Wait until you get to the village, you can get off!"
Listening to Iyu's words, Koyama stuck his head out of the window and found that Iyu had indeed parked the carriage on a small road. Soon, though, Xiaoshan's brow furrowed.
"Yiyu, go and call them all over!" Feng Qianyu said coldly.
"Huh? Call here?" Iyu didn't react.
"Don't talk nonsense!
Seeing that the "female devil" was really mad, Yiyu immediately shut up and hurriedly ran towards another carriage.
When the others met in front of the carriage of Feng Qianyu in their robes, Xiaoshan had already put on their robes and stood beside the carriage.
"It smells of blood!" Feng Qianyu didn't talk nonsense, and directly said the reason why they came over.
As soon as these words came out, Yiyu and the others were shocked, while Xiaoshan and Yang Songbai nodded solemnly.
"There should be a village nearby, Yiyu, what is it, Mo Shoucheng, the three of you follow the path to the east. Qianzhong and Qingcang go to the west with the two of you. Remember, whatever you find, don't be caught off guard. Come back and join us first. ”
Seeing Feng Qianyu's solemn expression, knowing that this matter was not trivial, Xiaoshan and the others did not dare to be careless, they all nodded solemnly, and then they divided into two ways and went to investigate.
After Xiaoshan and the others left, Yang Songbai looked at Feng Qianyu and said in a deep voice: "Qianyu, what do you think they will encounter?"
Feng Qianyu rubbed his forehead and said, "Anyway, it won't be a good thing!"
The rain became heavier and heavier. The three of them walked along the path all the way to the east, carefully paying attention to the movements around them as they went, but apart from the sound of rain, they didn't find anything unusual.
The three of them walked for a while until they came to a field. The fields should have been planted by nearby villagers, but it was raining heavily and there were no villagers working in the fields.
The three of them probed around the field again, and after making sure that there was nothing out of the ordinary, they returned the way they came.
And the two people who went all the way to the west, Xiaoshan and Zuo Qingcang, the further west they went, the stronger the smell of blood became. Xiao Shan and Zuo Qingcang glanced at each other, not only speeding up their pace.
There was indeed a village in front of them, but at this time, Xiaoshan and Zuo Qingcang were really shocked by the scene in front of them.
As the rain washed away, a "red line" snaked out of the village and converged into a "pool of blood" at the entrance of the village! A bad premonition rose in the hearts of Xiaoshan and Zuo Qingcang.
Zuo Qingcang wanted to go into the village to find out, but he was stopped by Xiaoshan, he shook his head at Zuo Qingcang, and signaled him not to startle the snake, go back first.
The two people who forcibly suppressed the shock, anger, and doubt in their hearts looked at the village for a moment again, and then quietly retreated.
After the seven of them met on the side of the road again and listened to Xiaoshan and Zuo Qingcang's report, everyone's faces were full of horror: At the foot of the Son of Heaven, there was a massacre of the village?
Xiaoshan's eyes all looked at Feng Qianyu, as if they were waiting for her to come up with an idea.
"Although this place is not close to Tianyi City, it is not far either. There will definitely be no bandits or bandits like bandits. If that village has really been slaughtered, and it's not these people, what else do you think could be the reason?"
Listening to Feng Qianyu's words, everyone fell into deep thought: what else could it be if it wasn't a bandit or a robber? Beast? But what kind of beast would go to slaughter the village? Could it be...
"Could it be a demon beast?" Zuo Qingcang said loudly.
Feng Qianyu glanced at him, shook his head and said, "It's unlikely." As we all know, the 100,000 mountains in Western Xinjiang are the base camp of demon beasts. Even those high-level demon beasts that can transform into human forms are rarely active in the human world now, and as for those low-level, it is even more impossible for them to trek mountains and rivers to the Eastern Continent to kill people. ”
Seeing that this statement was denied by Feng Qianyu, everyone fell silent again. At this time, Xiaoshan suddenly thought of something.
"Mutants!
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiaoshan's face.
"Do you remember when I caught a mutant in Tianyi City? I think that since mutants can appear in Tianyi City, it makes sense to appear here. Moreover, mutants are cruel and murderous, and I am not surprised to say that the village was slaughtered by mutants!"
Listening to Xiao Shan's gnashing of teeth, the others nodded approvingly.
Feng Qianyu looked at Yang Songbai, and seeing that Yang Songbai nodded to himself, Feng Qianyu made a decision directly.
"At this point, we should be the work of mutants. Remember: If you really run into a mutant when you enter the village, you will not be spared!
"Mentor Wind, aren't we going to leave a living mouth?" reminded Iyu.
Feng Qianyu glared at him and said, "This is not something you should think about, if you really encounter a mutant, you still think about how to save your life!"
Hit by Feng Qianyu, Yiyu had to stick out his tongue and stop talking.
A group of seven people came to the entrance of the village, and when everyone saw the "pool of blood" with their own eyes, they still couldn't help but gasp: How many people must have died?
"Let's enter the village quickly, remember: don't be too scattered, once you find something wrong, call someone immediately!"
After Yang Songbai gave the last reminder, his figure flashed and he walked towards the village first, and the others immediately followed.
Following that winding "red line", they came directly to the center of the village. The first thing that catches your eye is a "mountain of corpses" made of the corpses of the villagers, from which blood seeps out and flows out of the street as the rain washes away.
When had they seen such a scene, Xiaoshan, their eyes were about to split, and the bodies covered under the robes were even more trembling, and boundless anger burned in the hearts of several teenagers.
"These people should have just died, and the murderer was nearby. Let's go separately and remember: don't be reckless!" After speaking, Feng Qianyu's figure disappeared in a flash.
Several people glanced at each other, and then searched in different directions of the village. The village was small, and it didn't take long for the seven men to search and regroup.
Seeing that everyone shook their heads, obviously finding nothing, Feng Qianyu's expression became solemn.
"I just went to check on the corpses of the villagers, and they all had one way to die: someone had their hearts gouged out!" Xiaoshan said in a deep voice.
"What does that mean?" asked Iyu, frowning.
"It means that these people did die at the hands of mutants!" Feng Qianyu sighed.
"One more thing: the bodies were all adults. Xiaoshan said and glanced at everyone.
"What do you mean by the mutants who killed all the adults in the village and kidnapped the children of the village?"
Seeing Xiaoshan nodded, He Wei said again: "Then what is their purpose?"
"Could it be that they kidnapped the children from the village with a kind of 'fattening and then killing' mentality?"
Seeing everyone staring at him, Yiyu, who knew that he had said the wrong thing, had to lower his head and obediently shut his mouth.
"The mutant that Chie met in Tianyi City is the one who runs the orphanage, and now, the mutant has taken all the children in the village captive, and there must be something to do with it. Feng Qianyu said in a deep voice.
"But that mutant in Tianyi City is in the hands of Jing Mingting at this time, are we going to go back to Tianyi City again?" said Xiao Shan with a frown. ‘’
Feng Qianyu did not answer Xiaoshan's words, but suddenly jumped onto the roof of a room. I saw that she first looked around, and then looked at the barren mountain behind the village and said: "We won't go back to Tianyi City, since they are still with children, they must not have gone far, we will catch up!"
