Chapter 40: The Massacre

The Guards were stationed in the middle of the steppe.

Behind this grassland there are twelve border cities of the Great Qin Dynasty, which are as small as twelve pearls sprinkled in the grassland compared to the huge size of Yinshan.

It is the closest to this grassland, and it is also the farthest border city from Yinshan, called Shangjiao City.

This city was originally the outermost border city of the Great Qin Dynasty, and it was built by the prisoners who were assigned here in the past.

At sunrise, a tall man appeared on the gate tower of the Upper Prison City.

He was wearing bronze armor, but he couldn't see any patterns, because the armor was covered with various sword marks.

These deep and shallow, old and new sword marks, are dense like dandelion flowers blooming on the surface of the armor.

Especially in the sunlight, the sections of some metals are constantly shining with golden light, as if there are strips of cold electricity swimming in them.

Some of the sword marks were several inches deep, but they were still not transparent, which only indicates that the thickness of this armor has reached a very alarming level.

The most important thing is that these sword marks are too dense, and under the squeeze of the force carried on these sword marks, the metal texture of the armor itself seems to have changed, and some crystalline light even appears in the metal.

The tall man's face was also large, and he looked more rugged than the man in Guanzhong, and he had two long knives staggered on his back instead of a sword.

The scabbard is leather, simple sewn, and even the long hair on it has not faded, and it looks like a wolf skin on the grassland.

The handle was pale yellow, with some very moist purple red, not like metal, but like some kind of jade.

The man's eyes were also like gems, shining with a natural blue luster, pure as the sky on the prairie.

He looked at the grassland in front of him from afar, and knew that the army of the old guards would not arrive in this border city until at least this afternoon.

He had come here because of the boy who was in the old guard, but he knew full well that his battle would end before the boy arrived.

A morning breeze blew.

This wind came from behind Yinshan, with a chill, adding some solemn meaning out of thin air.

The wind brought the smell of cow and sheep dung in the distance, and the withered yellow blades of grass surged like waves in the ocean.

The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a flash of cyan appeared from among the withered yellow blades of grass.

Shao Killing, who was wearing the green jade robe of the Minshan Sword Sect, stepped on the withered grass, and slowly walked along the road formed by the trampling of horses on weekdays, and walked towards the city gate tower.

......

In the middle of the Upper Prison City, there is a large open space.

This clearing was originally used for the execution of prisoners, but at this time, there were many kneeling people, most of whom were women and children.

Only a handsome man was standing.

The man seemed to be a little afraid of the cold, and he was wearing a white fox fur coat, but this coat was covered with dust, and the yellowing of the long journey that even the real yuan stirred could not wash away.

He had a long sword at his waist.

The hilt of the sword is inlaid with many precious stones.

These gemstones are all carved in the shape of a skull.

The handsome man slowly looked up in the wind with the smell of cow and sheep dung, and then casually glanced at the women and children kneeling in front of him.

At this moment, at the end of the square, a man with a particularly ordinary face appeared that was easy to forget even when standing in the crowd.

It's just that this man is also wearing a jade-colored robe.

The man in the white fox fur coat smiled faintly and said, "It is said that human slaughter regards human life as a mustard, but I didn't expect this trick to be effective for you?"

"Who can truly treat human life as a mustard?"

Geng Jian looked at this man, and said without any special feelings, "It's you, Yelu Cangwolf, the third prince of Donghu, who is very important to the entire Wu clan, who ventured to appear here, do you regard other people's lives as grass mustard, or do you regard your own lives as grass mustard?"

Yelu Blue Wolf restrained his smile, and naturally revealed a trace of coldness, "I am the most important person in the Wu Army, and naturally I must appear in the most important place. Could it be that there is anything more important than preventing the people of the Minshan Sword Sect from entering the battlefield?"

After a pause, he looked at Geng Jian and laughed self-deprecatingly, and continued, "If you can make the people of the Minshan Sword Sect not appear on the battlefield, what if I die here?"

Geng Jian looked at him and said something that only the two of them could understand at this time, "If you decide to do this, we may become someone else's prey and die here." ”

"So I didn't kill these people, just to leave some conditions to talk to you, you just want to escort that disciple who is extremely important to your Minshan Sword Sect to Donghu, and I can let him reach Donghu safely. Yelu said and smiled faintly, "We can even go to the Donghu border with you to have a look, but the condition is that we must leave together." The condition is that none of your cultivators of the Minshan Sword Sect will enter our Wu Clan Country again. ”

Geng Jian pondered for a moment and said, "We don't want to enter the Wu Clan Country either. ”

Yelu Cangwolf took a deep breath and said, "I understand your feelings from the Minshan Sword Sect, so I feel that it is possible to talk to you." ”

Geng Jian looked into his eyes and said, "Without our protection, he will be in danger in Donghu." ”

Yelu Blue Wolf also looked into his eyes and said, "Ling Shan and I are both here, if we fight to the death today, he will be even more dangerous, and even your Minshan Sword Sect will be very dangerous." ”

After a pause, Yelu Cangwolf continued to say slowly: "And he went to Donghu, I can guarantee that no one from our Wu clan will deal with him." ”

Geng Jian said slowly: "You are so relieved that he is at the Donghu border?"

"That's a matter of Donghu and Chu. Yelu Cangwolf said with a slight sarcasm: "If even a Five Realm cultivator who has lost the protection of the Minshan Sword Sect can change the Yiqiē there, then Donghu and Chu themselves will not be able to have any impact on our conquest with Great Qin. ”

Geng Jian thought for a moment.

Yelu Blue Wolf glanced at him and said, "You shouldn't have much time to make a decision, because I didn't expect that you would pay so much attention to this young man that even Shao killed someone." ”

Geng Jian knew very well what he meant, and in a few dozen breaths, either the strongest general of the Wu clan at the head of the city would kill Shao and kill people, or Shao would kill people and kill the other party, but it would not be easy for anyone on either side to survive.

He didn't hesitate any longer, nodded very simply and usually, and said, "You go to Donghu with us, and then come back." ”

Yelu smiled slightly.

He let out a whistling sound.

At this time, Shao Kill had already arrived in front of the city gate.

The man in armor on the tower of the city gate had already grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands, but when he heard such a clear whistle, he shook his head with some regret, and said to Shao Killing: "I can't fight." ”

Shao's murderous figure disappeared among the yellow leaves.

The god-like man on the gate tower also disappeared from the gate tower.

The figures of the wolf and the blade disappeared in the city.

The densely kneeling women and children began to sob loudly.

There wasn't even a single eagle or vulture in the sky.

Looking down from the sky, the walls of this border city are surrounded by a ring of low black and red walls.

The black ones are the remains of the Qin army in black armor, as well as the corpses of the black vultures that usually fly above here.

The red ones are the blood that flows, and it has not yet completely coagulated.

Apart from these women and children, there is no living place in this border city.

......

(There is no heart for three watches, but the state is so bad that he only writes so many words.) I'm going to pretend to be a class reunion tomorrow night, and I'm suddenly deeply sad about tomorrow's update)
