Chapter 275: The Strangeness of the Massacre (Part )

After resting for another two days and keeping his body and mind in the best condition, Luo Siyun finally left the space.

Mingyuan Prefecture.

"Why are there so many soldiers guarding the city?" On a hill ten miles away from the city gate, Luo Siyun led his horse and looked down at the bustling city gate in the distance, his eyes moving.

"What happened?"

"A lot of things must have happened in a year. I should go and find out the situation first and then rush back to the tribe tonight." Luo Siyun thought, tidied his clothes a little, and then led the horse slowly along the pipeline and followed the crowd to the city gate.

Before he even got close to the city gate, Luo Siyun noticed something was wrong.

The soldiers at the city gate were all conscripts.

Whenever he sees two adult men standing together, he will grab one and take it behind.

Soon after dawn, hundreds of people were arrested.

"Alas, the imperial court is recruiting soldiers again. When will this end?" Seeing this scene, a man with messy hair not far ahead sighed heavily.

Although he sighed, he was not worried that the soldiers would catch him, because the palm of his left hand was gone, and without a hand, he could not go to the battlefield at all.

That's why he was in the mood to sigh.

"In my opinion, it's impossible to avoid conscription!" A thin man put his hands behind his back, shook his head, and said in a mysterious manner.

"Why, do you know something?" The man was instantly attracted. He leaned over and asked with bright eyes.

The thin man looked around and made sure there were no soldiers around. He then covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "I heard that the war between our dynasty and the Western Yan Kingdom, which lasted for more than half a month, has ended three days ago!"

"It's over? What's the result?" The man suppressed his excitement and asked, "Who won?"

"Oh!" When talking about this, the man couldn't help but sigh, with a sad face, "We lost, and we lost a city!" A city!

"What?" The man stared, "How could we lose?"

"I heard that the army of Xiyan Kingdom slaughtered all the civilians who had not had time to evacuate!" At this point, the man choked up, feeling sad for the weakness of the imperial court and the killing of civilians.

"Massacre?"

"How dare they?" Those who were listening silently around couldn't help but exclaim.

There were at least hundreds of thousands of people in a city, and they were all slaughtered! ? ?

Wouldn't that mean rivers of blood?
Killing a god is no different!

The Xiyan army dared to do this, and they are not afraid of divine punishment!

For a moment, all the people present were filled with indignation.

"I also heard something." The man looked around and saw more and more people gathering around him. A hint of pride flashed in his eyes. He did not get carried away. He glanced at the officers and soldiers in the distance. Seeing that they did not notice this side, he reluctantly put his mind at ease and continued, "Originally, our army had already repelled the Xiyan army, but when we were about to win, we were stabbed from behind, so we lost!"

"The King of Qi, who was the Grand Marshal, lost his life. The army was leaderless and was quickly defeated!" the man said quickly and moved silently.

"Stabbing?" The man stared.

"Who is so insidious?"

"That's too unethical!"

"I said, with the King of Qi's ability to lead troops, there is no way he would lose, but it turns out he was stabbed in the back!"

"Now that the King of Qi is gone, the western border will not be breached!" Some people couldn't help but worry.

Compared to the northern border, which is separated by countless cities and mountains, Mingyuan Prefecture is only separated from the nearest western border by four cities.

Now that one city has been breached, doesn't it mean that as long as they capture three more cities, they will face the army of Xiyan Kingdom head-on?

At the thought of this possibility, everyone present turned pale.

The Xiyan army will massacre the people in the city. If we continue to stay here, won’t we lose our lives?
Some people who are sharp-minded and afraid of death have even considered moving out immediately after returning.

Just when everyone was filled with righteous indignation and desperately cursing the person who had done the dirty work in the dark, the officers and soldiers in the distance finally discovered the situation here.

Seeing the soldiers looking over here, the man's eyes rolled around, and he dived into the crowd and disappeared in a few seconds.

……

"Xiyan Kingdom?" Seeing that the onlookers were quickly dispersed, Luo Siyun led the horse, turned around and left.

She decided not to go to the city for the time being and she wanted to go back to the tribe.

……

Yunxiao tribe.

Luo Siyun slipped into the leader's mansion without anyone knowing.

As soon as she entered the house, she found something wrong.

"What about people?"

There was not a single person in the mansion.

Luo Siyun frowned and used his mental power to investigate. He found that there were not many people not only in the chief's mansion, but in the entire tribe.

"What happened?" Why is there no one missing?

Luo Siyun felt puzzled and after thinking about it, she decided to go back to her yard first. Fortunately, someone was waiting for her in her yard.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the yard, I saw Lumei sitting on the steps, holding her chin with her hand, doing nothing.

Seeing her listless appearance, Luo Siyun raised the corners of his mouth slightly and deliberately increased the strength of his feet.

Sure enough, upon hearing the noise, Lumei raised her head suddenly.

At a glance, I saw Luo Siyun standing not far away.

"Girl, girl!" Seeing the good girl she had been thinking about day and night, Lu Mei widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Why, are you unhappy that I'm back?" Luo Siyun laughed and walked closer.

"How could it be!" She was eager for the girl to come back soon. Lu Mei thought to herself, and quickly stood up and bowed to her respectfully.

"Where are the people in the mansion?" Seeing that she didn't seem to be hiding anything from him, Luo Siyun asked directly.

"Others!" When Lumei saw Luo Siyun mentioned others, her face suddenly fell and she didn't know what to say.

"What's going on?" Luo Siyun turned his head with a serious face.

"It's like this, ever since..." Not daring to avoid her words, Lu Mei told her everything that had happened in the past year. A year ago, after Luo Siyun left, Asar did follow her instructions, and with the help of Awo and Luo Xiaoyun, he managed the tribe very well.

Because the tribe's rules and regulations are very clear, and with the election system left by Luo Siyun, it can be said that the vast majority of people in the tribe are placed in reasonable positions, bringing the role of each person to the extreme.

After half a year of development, the tribe has indeed become much more organized.

However, just when the tribe was about to prosper, an accident occurred.

First, a large number of crops in the farmlands outside the tribe withered for no reason. The crops in the farmlands represent food, especially the crops planted outside, most of which were reclaimed from the villages and towns that joined the tribe later. Without these crops, not only would a year's work be wasted, but it would also mean that there would be no food, and without food, people would die.

Because of this, people in the tribe were in panic during that period of time.

But Luo Siyun did have some foresight after all. After all, food depends on the weather and cannot be fully relied on, so there are granaries in the tribe.

Every year, one fifth of the tribe's food production is stored in the granary until the next year. The amount of food in the granary will continue to grow as the tribe's farmland increases.

In other words, it was only the crops in the periphery that had problems, and the tribe's stored food was enough to last for a while until everyone could grow new crops.

However, when the tribe took out the grain from the granary, they found that a lot of sand had been maliciously added to the grain in the granary.

Not only that, when the problem with the food was discovered, someone actually spread rumors in the tribe, saying that the tribe deliberately destroyed the farmland outside, so that everyone would have no food, and threw stones at the food in the granary in order to force everyone away.

If everyone leaves, the tribe can openly occupy the fertile land that everyone has worked so hard to cultivate.

The fertile fields are the basis for the people's livelihood, but the tribe actually wants to occupy their fertile fields. For a while, the tribe was full of gossip.

Under the gossip, many thieves and cheats appeared. Because of these thugs, many people suffered, which indirectly led to the chaos of the tribe.

While problems were arising within the tribe, the army of the Huanyue Kingdom was heading south and fighting everywhere.

Many small tribes did not dare to confront the army of the Huanyue Kingdom head-on, so they continued to migrate south.

Although the tribe is backed by green mountains and is considered a hidden place, normally few people can find it.

But the location of the tribe is really not that convenient. It is located not far from the only big canyon in the Qingshan Mountain Range that runs through the east and west of the Central Plains.

In other words, the small tribes north of the Qingshan Mountains who were driven south by the Huanyue Kingdom’s army could only take the Grand Canyon if they wanted to cross the Qingshan Mountains.

Not far from the Grand Canyon is the Yunxiao Tribe.

Not surprisingly, the tribe was discovered.

Some of the stronger tribes took a fancy to the good location of the Yunxiao tribe and sent troops to negotiate.

Those small tribes were not kind people. During the negotiations, somehow, some people from the two tribes died...

Soon, a great war broke out between the two tribes.

For a war, the army must be used, but the tribe only has guards and personal guards. Most importantly, because the tribe is just in a stage of rapid development, in order to ensure that there are no accidents, the number of guards and personal guards is not large, at least not as large as the specialized armies of other tribes.

But the only good news is that all the guards of the Yunxiao tribe are cultivators. Although they are not able to fly in the clouds, they can carry thousand-pound stones and fight ten people at once.

As a result, the Yunxiao tribe was able to defeat the small tribe that coveted their tribe with a smaller force, and quickly took over the cattle, sheep and other properties of the small tribe.

For a time, all the tribes in the Central Plains that were more sensitive to information knew that the Yunxiao tribe had an army that could fight ten enemies at once, which made the reputation of the Yunxiao tribe guard team spread throughout the Central Plains.

They thought that with this reputation, no one would dare to mess with them and the tribe would be able to live in peace.

But unexpectedly, shortly after the small tribe was destroyed, a group of mysterious people appeared.

They all wore masks so that their faces could not be seen, and they held rare weapons such as flutes and darts. Most importantly, these people were all practitioners with excellent martial arts skills.

Anyone in the Yunxiao tribe whose martial arts level reached the acquired realm or above was not spared and all were captured.

Luo Xiaoyun, Luo Xingchen, Luo Xinghe, Luo Xiaoxing and the others were born with good martial arts skills and were all above the acquired realm level. The leaders of the guard team also had high martial arts skills, so they were all captured.

Without those capable ones, the wolves and tigers outside are all coveting everything in the tribe. Asar, as the acting leader, has no choice but to ask all the men who have officially started practicing to guard the tribe.

As expected, until it was completely safe, everyone had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the camp outside the city, so the city was much emptier... So there was the scene that Luo Siyun saw when he came back.

Luo Siyun didn't expect that so many things would happen in the tribe after she left.

However, a large number of practitioners wearing masks and holding rare weapons such as flutes and darts?

"Is it him?" Luo Siyun lowered his eyes, somewhat uncertain.

"What?" Not being able to hear what Luo Siyun was saying, Lu Mei tilted her head to look at her, "Miss, do you have any questions?"

"Besides these, is there anything else strange? It doesn't matter what tribe it is related to!"

"Strange thing?" Lu Mei frowned and tapped her face with her fingers. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she thought of something. She shouted, "It's true!"

"What's the matter?" Luo Siyun asked hurriedly.

"This incident did not happen here, but it is related to the Xiyan Kingdom. I don't know whether the court is aware of it, and I don't know whether it is true or not." At this point, Lumei was a little conflicted, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Western Yan Kingdom.

The imperial court, Jing Kingdom?
Thinking in his heart, Luo Siyun raised his hand and said, "You say!"

"Miss, do you know that some time ago, the Xiyan Kingdom massacred a city in the Jing Kingdom?" Lumei asked.

"I've heard about this." Luo Siyun nodded.

"I heard that on the day of the massacre, someone saw from a distance that the entire city was shrouded in black fog!"

"After the black fog dissipated, the hundreds of thousands of people remaining in the entire city disappeared." When she said this, a trace of fear flashed in Lumei's eyes.

She was timid and afraid of this kind of thing. If she hadn't told Luo Siyun about it, she probably wouldn't even want to think about it.

"I only saw the Xiyan army open the city gate the next day, pull out carriages covered with black cloth and leave." Lumei said.

"They don't want the city anymore?" Luo Siyun was surprised.

"That's right. On the third day after they captured the city, the Xiyan army withdrew!" Lu Mei nodded, her voice a little dazed. "Not long after the Xiyan army left, someone boldly entered the city and found that all living things in the city were gone, not even rats, spiders, or anything like that."

"You can clearly hear the miserable and terrified cries of the people outside the city, but there is not even a drop of blood on the walls or on the ground inside the city."

"Everything is there, even the silver scattered on the ground and no one picked it up, but the people are gone." Not even a mouse is left.

The person was gone and the silver was scattered all over the ground.

"Those carriages covered with black cloth took away all the people?" Luo Siyun frowned and guessed.

"It shouldn't be!" Lumei shook her head, and after thinking about it, she said uncertainly, "There is news that when the Xiyan army left, a strong wind blew the black cloth away, revealing an ordinary wooden box covered under the black cloth. The size of that box is not enough to fit a person." Unless those people have no hands or feet.

But without hands and feet, how come there is no blood on the ground in the city!
Also, the quantities don't match.
