Chapter 383

Lin Yao's surprise and silence fell into his eyes. Huo Yan smiled faintly: "I'm going to Chengdu to deal with some things myself."

She stared at him with a slightly depressed look. Huo Yan seemed to see through her mind and kissed her gently on her lips: "I'll be back soon."

He paused: "I've been sending people to look for your brother. I haven't heard anything yet."

She said "um" and had no hope for it. When he lost his brother, he was still young. How could a young boy save his life in the years of chaos?

Huo Yan hesitated and glanced at her beautiful face: "who killed your father?"

Her face suddenly turned pale, and then recovered her composure. She tried her best to answer in the calmest voice: "there are people dying everywhere in the chaos of war. I don't know who killed my father."

How could she not know? The murderer who killed her father stood in front of her. Jun's face was concerned, as if he felt her hatred.

"I will let you blade the enemy with your own hands." he stared at her and stroked her hair with his palm.

She could hardly help crying out. She didn't need his tenderness and care. No matter how good he treated her, her heart was already as firm as a rock and would never waver.

But his consideration still made her feel stuffy. Such a cruel and ruthless killing devil might as well take her as a tool to vent and be cruel to her. Maybe her heart would be better.

How ridiculous it is to have such a feeling of killing his father and enemy. Lin Yao smiled gently: "thank you for your concern."

No matter how stuffy her chest is and how many thoughts she has in her heart, she must go that way and has no other choice. But she also knows one thing clearly. In this life, maybe she can't forget that her fingertips gently rub the wound on her wrist or the hateful smile on his face.

In a daze, the medicinal materials fell from his fingertips. Lin Yao leaned down to pick them up. The chaotic thoughts in his chest may be more difficult to sort out than the scattered medicinal materials.

She has been alone for a long time, so she is bewitched by the warmth of the murderous devil? Lin Yao lowered his eyes, took out the small silver knife from his sleeve and scratched it in the palm of his hand. The blood fell into the medicine drop by drop and became a piece of reddish brown medicine mud.

Chengdu.

Surrounded by the generals, the Yingwu young man in white and silver armor climbed to the top of the city and looked at the burning Chengdu from a distance. The sad roar rang through the sky, and the people in the city helped the old and the young, pouring out like a tide outside the city.

"Please, open the gate and let us out..."

"We are not sick. The child can't live without his own parents... Please let us out..."

"My child... I can't go out. Please let my child go out..."

Chengdu has always been rich. It was originally known as the "granary of Kyushu". Most of the military salaries and food and grass of the imperial court's army are placed in Chengdu. It would be a great loss to the imperial court if we could try to do something in the city and cut off the food and grass supply of the imperial court's army.

For this reason, both the state of Wu and South Vietnam have coveted this place for a long time. The capture of Chengdu is tantamount to cutting off the arm of the imperial court. The imperial court has deployed heavy troops here, and it is almost impossible to capture Chengdu outside.

The trouble started from the inside. Nanyue people paid a lot of money to buy a local Baochang in Chengdu and poisoned the largest well in Chengdu.

If it's just an ordinary poison, it's a kind of epidemic disease with strong infectivity. In just a few days, many residents in Chengdu have been infected with the epidemic disease. Even those who haven't drunk well water and have contacted the infected people can't escape the fate of being infected.

At the beginning, the government also wanted to isolate the infected and uninfected people. More and more people could be infected. They were afraid that they would be burned and buried alive by the army. They always escaped from the isolation area quietly, so the epidemic became more rampant.

Even the prefect of Chengdu did not escape the fate of being infected.

"The spread of the epidemic is a dereliction of duty. Your highness, even if the generals and ministers are broken to pieces, the ministers will never have any complaints." the prefect of Chengdu knelt on the ground far away and kowtowed to Huo Yan from a distance.

Huo Yan glanced at him coldly: "you really deserve to die." there were spies in Chengdu. Now the imperial court's food and grass losses are serious. I'm afraid the residents of this city can't keep it.

"Your home in the capital is small. I will be taken care of properly and will not be implicated because of you."

The Chengdu prefect knelt down calmly: "thank you, your highness. The people in the city have not been infected with the epidemic disease. Please let them out of the city as soon as possible“

”Fool! The epidemic is so contagious. What if people with epidemic diseases are released to infect people outside the city? "Song Shen opened his mouth and saw the miserable situation in the city. There are many fresh lives inside. But if these people are released, they will only hurt people outside and infect more people with epidemic diseases.

Chengdu prefect's face was as white as paper: "you... What do you mean?"

Do you want people all over the city to be buried with the epidemic?

But those people who are not infected with the epidemic are innocent and healthy. Why should they become victims?

"Your Highness, the people in the city are innocent... Your highness can't..." the aged Chengdu prefect was like fallen leaves in the wind. Huo Yan glanced at him coldly, and the coldness in his eyes was self-evident.

What is the difference between killing unarmed people and dealing with those who are healthy and those who are infected with the disease? It's not as good as animals.

Chengdu prefect's painful curse can no longer be heard. Someone cut off his head with a knife. Song Shen spat at the head that fell to the ground: "stupid old man! If it weren't for your oversight, how could these people fall to such a point?"

They are soldiers. Even though everyone's hands are stained with blood, they are all the blood of the enemy. They kill people like hemp on the battlefield, but they have never fought against the unarmed people.

But if we do not kill the people of this city and completely cut off the epidemic from the root, the epidemic will spread on a large scale, and more people will be infected and suffer from it.

"Shoot an arrow!"

The silver arrows in the sky were aimed at the gate of the city. As soon as the flag was issued, countless clusters of arrows issued together, and Chengdu suddenly became a sea of fire.

Some people were directly shot by arrows and died miserably. More people ran around in the sea of fire and cried, but the city gate was firmly closed.

The fire gradually spread, and countless people cried through the sky: "please, let us out..."

"The child is innocent... Please let the child go..."

"I'm not sick at all. Why don't you let me out of town?"

Even those generals who were used to seeing blood and bodies showed sad faces one after another, and could not bear to see this living human purgatory again. They fought for life and death with Wu Jun and killed countless South Vietnamese, but they never laid hands on their compatriots.

Especially the civilians who have no strength to bind chickens.

Why did they fight and join the army? In order to ensure the safety of their families and the safety of the people of Dasheng, but only because of one or two spies, the whole Chengdu has to be buried with them. The soldiers who used to protect them can only turn the knife edge and aim at these innocent people.

Cruel, but I have to do it.

They all understand that compared with the lives of tens of millions of people in Dacheng, the people in a small city are really insignificant. It is a truth that everyone understands that the two disadvantages are balanced and the lesser one is taken. But if there were your parents, relatives and loved ones in that small city, would you still feel insignificant?

Compared with the whole Dasheng Dynasty, the lives of Chengdu people are as humble as mole ants, but mole ants still cherish their lives. Why should they sacrifice their lives for others they don't know?

In Chengdu, the fire is burning, and the sad cry is ringing through the sky. People can't help but don't open their faces and can't bear to look at it again. Huo Yan looked at the terrible scene in the city and took a faint sip of the tea in the jade Cup: "Chengdu is a famous spring city with four seasons like spring. The flowers in the city are like brocade, and the four seasons are always in bloom. This strange scene will never be seen again."

The spring city with four seasons like spring and prosperity like brocade has been a scorched land since then. It can no longer bloom a flower and there is no population at all.

The city gradually quieted down, the sad howl gradually disappeared, and all that remained was the empty wind hovering over the empty city of Chengdu. The handsome boy in white and silver armor stood on the ruins of the city, glanced coldly at the corpses all over the city, and reached out to fold a blooming bright red peach blossom.

Last year, today in this door, people's faces are red with peach blossoms. People do not know where to go, peach blossoms still smile at the spring breeze.

The young men and girls who are in the spring city have also broken the bright peach blossoms and made an appointment to go for a spring outing in Bagang. This scenario will never happen again.

The peach blossoms slowly fell on the ground and melted into the sea of blood on the ground. Even though the peach blossoms are bright, they are no more red than the dazzling sea of blood.

In the days when Huo Yan left, Lin Yao took medicine on time every day. The people responsible for serving her took extra care of her. Without the murderer around, she should be in a much better mood.

But she often had nightmares. In the dream, she seemed to go back to the day many years ago. Thousands of people's sad cries rang through the sky.

"Let me go. I'm not infected."

"My child, please let my child out of town..."

Dad fought his life to send her out of the city. She couldn't give up her father. Her father, who always loved her daughter, only waved to her: "go, the farther you go, the better."

Only later did she know what had happened. The whole city was slaughtered by the murderer king in order to catch a possible epidemic.

It's just the word "possible", which will bury the lives of the people in this city alive. How cruel!

Lin Yao suddenly woke up from his dream with a cold sweat on his forehead. The window was open and the wind roared out of the window, with a faint tendency of mountain rain.
