I hurried over and said as I walked, "Su Su, what's wrong?"
Susu heard my voice and quickly turned her head, with a look of horror on her face, and immediately ran over and grabbed my arm, trembling: "Miss, then, there-"
Her hands trembled and pointed ahead.
What's wrong there?
I looked up and saw a vast grassland covered with snow, with nothing at all.
What exactly did she see?
I subconsciously wanted to move forward, but Su Su was probably scared. Although she pointed ahead, she held my arm and refused to move. Qi Muge and the others had already walked forward, looked down and all gasped. Someone was already shocked and said, "How could this happen?!"
What happened to the front?
I looked down at Susu, frightened like a little rabbit, and wished I could crouch in my arms. I patted her shoulder and signaled that she was fine, then walked forward a few steps. As soon as I approached, I was stunned.
In front of me, there were dead bodies on the ground!
The reason why I didn't find it was because the weather was too cold, and the blood on these corpses was frozen into ice as soon as they flowed out, and a layer of snow covered it. If I hadn't gotten closer, there would be no way to tell it.
But, why are there so many corpses here? Qi Muge said before that there is a tribe here, is it—
As soon as I thought about this, I heard Qimuge whisper: "It's really them!"
When he turned around, he had walked to the center of the corpses, pulled something out of the snow, dusted off the snow, and saw clearly that it was a flag with a very strange totem on it, which was completely different from the totem of the Eight Heavenly Kings I had seen in Shengjing before.
I think it should be the banner of this tribe here.
The flag is lying here, and the corpses on the ground are here, is it?
This tribe was destroyed?!
My throat was slightly itchy, and it took a while before I said, "This is what you said before, which tribe?"
Qi Muge's eyebrows were twisted into a lump, he glanced at me, and nodded heavily.
I looked up and looked forward, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Just now, we thought there was a vast snow field in front of us. At this time, we found that the snow was covered with human corpses, and in the vast area, there was almost an illusion that we could not see the edges in the wind and snow.
How could this happen? How could so many people die?
I asked, "What's going on here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure had already walked up from behind me. It was Yu Wenying. He walked to one of the corpses covered with ice and snow, squatted down, brushed away the snow on it, carefully looked at the corpse, then looked around, then stood up and said, "They were all injured by swords. There should be a war here, and there are horse corpses in front of them."
"fight?"
Yes, fight.
Only war can cause such deaths. Such corpses are everywhere. No wonder Qi Muge clearly remembers that this tribe is here, but after coming, he can't find these people.
It turned out that everyone in this tribe died in a war.
The question is, who fought against them.
I looked up at Yu Wenying. He didn't say anything, but only ordered his subordinates to inspect the place and see if there was any survivor. Although none of us had hope when we said this.
I took Susu back to the tent. After a mess outside, Yu Wenying and Qi Muge walked in.
I asked, "How is it?"
Qi Muge's eyes were a little red, and Yu Wenying said, "There is no living thing, all dead."
"Then, what about the one who killed them?"
"It's from another tribe," Qi Muge next to him said with red eyes: "We also found those people in those corpses. I know their clothes and their knives."
It turned out that it was a battle between tribes.
Of course I know that there is not a harmonious selves on the grassland. Even a place as big as Shengjing has eight heavenly kings. Luo Shi and Xie Houqi have never dealt with each other, not to mention that these places are competing for territory and horses, and as long as there are people, there will be disputes.
only--
I looked at Qimuge: "Do they often do this?"
Qimuge immediately said, "Of course not!"
“…”
"Although I know that there are often frictions between these tribes, and sometimes they have to go to Shengjing to ask the Eight Heavenly Kings to judge, but they can't just fight each other, and they have never had such a way to exterminate the clan."
“…”
"If this is true, the eight kings will send troops to attack that tribe together!"
"Oh..." I heard him say this and nodded gently. After a while, I suddenly asked: "Qi Muge, since these tribes are not as powerful as the Eight Heavenly Kings, and they often fight each other, there should be some tribes having contact with the Eight Heavenly Kings."
That is commonly known as the sidelines.
Qimuge frowned and said, "This is of course."
"Then, which of this tribe is closer to the eight heavenly kings?"
Qimuge said: "They were originally closest to the Iron Face King."
Iron-faced king.
As soon as I heard these three words, my heartbeat became even worse.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down, and then asked, "But, the Iron-Faced King has been missing for a long time, so they have not found any other backer?"
"It's not that there is no one. The Iron-faced King was so close to our king back then."
"oh……"
I nodded gently.
Since this is the case, this tribe will also surrender to the Iron Cavalry King.
However, the Iron Cavalry King only brought his people here to Shengjing not long ago. Now, this Iron Face King, who once belonged to the Iron Face King, has now defected to his tribe, but has been exterminated in this place.
Things are not simple.
This time we rush to Shengjing, we are likely to face the Iron-Faced King. His figure and his power have disappeared on the grassland for decades. No one can predict what kind of storm waves will arise again.
I thought we should be safe before we arrived in Shengjing, or even when we arrived in Shengjing, the situation should be controlled.
But I didn't expect that I was exposed to such a killing just here.
Now I just listened to the name of the Iron-Faced King, and I have already slaughtered a whole tribe thousands of miles away.
Qi Muge was obviously very sad, and tears were flowing out of his eyes. I comforted him and asked him to go down and take someone to bury the bodies. He went out immediately. Then I looked at Yu Wenying who had been standing next to him and remained silent.
