Chapter 455: Weird, tragic, and tragic

Youzhou, Dai County.

As the most border prefecture in the Nine Provinces, it is always under pressure from the North Plains, which leads to the fierce folk customs here. There are endless incidents of violence and fighting, and the style of chivalry is also prevalent like the ancient Jizhou.

But recently, there is a story that makes people panic.

Ting County.

The county closest to Wei County.

There are sighs from the old man selling dates, and there are also big fanfares from the escort company.

There are also soldiers in Xia Dynasty military uniforms rushing out.

Streets and alleys, teahouses and taverns, gossips began to spread, and the streets and alleys began to talk about the same thing.

"Hey, I don't know what's wrong with Wei County. Everyone is like crazy. They get angry when you say something a little bit annoying."

"Well, it's our people who are provoking them. Isn't that normal?"

"It's not normal at all. No matter how bad our people are, they won't do such cruel things. They wiped out an entire family! Moreover, the people of Wei County didn't just provoke our county. Which of the surrounding counties didn't they provoke? How many people have died now? I don't know what the officials over there are doing. Aren't they afraid that the general's people will investigate him?"

"Shh, be careful with your words."

"Be careful with your words, I just got some big news. A few days ago, everyone in the outskirts of Wei County ran away. I don't know what happened in the center of the county. People from several families were killing each other and all died!"

"Now the people from the county government have rushed over. I heard that Qin Wuyang, who went there to join in the fun, was sick of the scene."

"Ah?"

"Is it the most famous and daring knight in our county, Qin Wuyang?"

"Yes, yes, that's him."

"..."

In the tavern, a guest who had just arrived a while ago suddenly stood up.

It's strange to say that as soon as he left, the expressions of everyone in the tavern changed, and they seemed a little confused.

"Hey? Why couldn't I control my mouth just now?"

A big man slapped himself in the face, looking annoyed.

The government is still an official, how can he, a mere guy in the Yangsheng realm who makes a living in the rivers and lakes, criticize it?

Why did he lose his mind just now!

Fortunately, the faces of the people in the tavern were also a little strange, and they seemed to have not reacted yet. Seeing this, the big man quickly picked up the knife and quietly slipped out.

The one who walked out of the door was naturally Chen Nuo.

He just came over and used his spiritual power to induce the people in the tavern to talk about current affairs and got basic intelligence.

This is a simple application of spiritual power. It seems simple, but it has high requirements for the amount and controllability of spiritual power. When it undergoes another transformation and reaches the five disasters comparable to visions and blood explosions, it will probably be able to control and rewrite people's consciousness at will.

"Well, brave and aggressive, irritable, and cannibalistic, the situation in Wei County is more and more in line with the signs of Qi Gui..."

Qi Gui.

As the old saying goes, there are four desires in the world: wine, sex, money, and anger.

Wine is a heartbreaking poison - decadence and sorrow.

Sex is the root of trouble - sinking and degeneration.

Wealth is a tiger coming down the mountain - greed and enslavement.

Qi is a murderous steel knife - violent and unwise.

Those who can overcome these four desires are extraordinary people. In fact, many people have achieved extraordinary achievements by just restraining one of them.

It is still high to drink without getting drunk, and it is a hero to be close to sex without being chaotic.

Don't take ill-gotten gains, and be patient and avoid troubles.

So, if Qigui is really in Wei County, it is completely understandable that he caused such a big mess.

After all, in a place where the chivalrous spirit prevails, it is completely possible for Qigui to expand the killing of each other under the impulsiveness and irritability!

The khaki ripples passed by.

Chen Nuo's figure disappeared.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived at a wine shop outside Wei County.

The waiter and the shop owner were startled at first, but then they calmed down and came to Chen Nuo, kneeling down on one knee, "Meeting Master Yuan!"

"Well, how is the situation in Wei County?"

Before that, he asked Chen Ping to mobilize Long Yuan in Dai County as soon as he got the news.

"My Lord, the situation in Wei County is a bit complicated. Our people hiding inside have just reported that there are a large number of corpses in the center of the county. Roughly speaking, there are no less than 10,000 people, including many of our informants who died inside."

"And most of the people outside fled in all directions. The government officials came to the conclusion that this is an unsolved case after they arrived."

Chen Nuo did not speak.

In the secular world, most cases caused by weirdness can only be defined as unsolved cases.

But the Longyuan members have not finished speaking.

"But our people in the government have found that the chief officers from the general's mansion in the government seem to have seen a lot of such things. The chief officer told his followers that the murderer should have gone out from the north gate, and the general direction is... Tianyou Pass."

Tianyou Pass.

The pass was guarded by heavy troops all year round in the Xia Dynasty. Even when the country was destroyed, no imperial edict was issued to let the general transfer troops to defend the important pass.

This pass has borne more than half of the pressure of the Beiyuan army. With it, the Beiyuan North and South Royal Courts can only fight outside the pass, and cannot hurt Youzhou.

However, Chen Nuo is not thinking about this now, but the so-called chief officer from the General's Mansion.

According to what his own people said, combined with what he heard before, the General's Mansion should be the actual controller of the land of Youzhou, and the general should know something about weirdness.

Otherwise, the chief officer would not have such an attitude and speculation.

So, is there any connection between the strangeness heading to Tianyou Pass and the general who knows about the strangeness?

Chen Nuo frowned and couldn't figure it out for the time being. There were too many possibilities.

However, if you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it and go find it directly.

Chen Nuo looked in the direction of Tianyou Pass.

...

Towards Tianyou Pass.

An army is suppressing the riot.

Long before the demise of Xia, the world was already in chaos, and Youzhou was able to barely maintain stability because of the existence of the general.

Even so, there were many rebellions, most of which were uprisings caused by lack of food, and some mountain bandits and horse thieves attacked the county town after they grew stronger.

As for the reason for lack of food?

Natural disasters are part of the factors, and man-made disasters are also not small.

The natural disasters in Youzhou are different from those in other states. Before the snowy season, the goose feather snow has already begun.

Not only that, it is also accompanied by strong winds and dark clouds. When combined with heavy snow, it is simply freezing cold, dark clouds cover the sun, and there is no warmth at all.

Fortunately, this situation only occurs at night. Although it is cold during the day, at least the sun is still there.

Even so, this abnormal weather has also led to a significant reduction in grain production. In this natural disaster, although there is military suppression by the general, the local families dare not make small moves too much, but it is impossible to ask them to help the victims.

So, the situation has developed into what it is now.

Bai Yun led his cavalry to charge again. The black armor was thick and hard, and the horses under them were also tall and strong.

The cavalry of three hundred people charged and directly stabbed the thousands of mountain bandits like a surgical operation!

Directly pointing to the target leader!

In the crowd, the leader looked ugly and suddenly turned around and ran.

The cavalry in front of him knew at a glance that they were the elite troops of the general, all of them were warriors. If he was not mistaken, the leader should be a warrior in the first tendon realm, and what about him? Relying on these waves of looting, he barely reached the ordinary tendon realm of lower-grade tendons.

In front of such a force, wouldn't he be beaten to death?

Why not run?

What a pity.

It's too late.

"The bandits will die!"

A loud shout was like a thunderous roar, and a figure of a god came to him.

"It's over!"

Seeing the big knife waving.

The leader fought hard.

An inexplicable force suddenly swept the whole place.

Everyone's movements stopped.

An unknown fire ignited in his heart, and many unpleasant things in the past were remembered at this moment, just like kerosene, becoming something that helped the nameless fire burn.

"Fuck you! You dare to scold me on weekdays!"

"Damn military judge, didn't I make a small mistake last time!"

"The second leader dared to rob my woman, I can't stand it, kill him!"

"You dare to look at me? See what's wrong with you! Kill!"

"..."

First verbal abuse, then confrontation, and finally knife-pointing!

A series of things happened in less than ten seconds.

All the former comrades-in-arms started to chop each other, their eyes were red and they were angry.

The bandits, who had no feelings for each other, were in a melee at this moment. Even if they just looked at each other for a second, they would swing their knives and chop, killing each other until blood flowed like a river.

The center of the battlefield.

Bai Yun and the bandit leader looked at each other.

For some reason, they were not affected.

"Stop! Stop!"

"Military judge! What are you doing?!"

"Second brother! Third brother! Stop fighting!"

"Fuck! You even chop me, the boss?!"

Bai Yun found that he couldn't shout, and he immediately thought of what the general had said to him when he was a personal soldier in the mansion.

Terrorist incident?

The general said that many natural disasters and inexplicable things were terrorist incidents, but the water was very deep, he didn't want to delve into it, and the first thing he did when he encountered it was to run.

So...

Just when the two had different thoughts.

A figure suddenly floated over. The already low temperature became even lower after his arrival.

When the two looked over, they felt that the person in front of them had an uncomfortable feeling at first glance, like... a dead person!

He was wearing a county magistrate's official robe, but his figure did not match it. His temperament and appearance were even more different. Rather than an official, he was more like a rich man.

A monkey in a crown?

This was Bai Yun's first thought, but when he saw the face clearly, he couldn't help but frowned. He always felt that the person in front of him seemed familiar?

At this time.

It spoke.

"Submit to me, otherwise, die."

Although I don't understand why, it seems that everything in front of me is caused by it?

The leader knelt down on the ground and offered his loyalty.

The man smiled, and seemed to enjoy it, as if he had received some proof.

Then, it looked at Bai Yun.

Startled.

It actually smiled.

"Baiyun, long time no see."

"Do you remember me?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether you remember or not. Anyway, I want to take back everything that belongs to me. I want to be a general, I want to be a noble, I have power, these are what I deserve!"

"Submit, Baiyun!"

Does he recognize me?

Does he want to be a general?

He recognizes the general! He is going for the general!

He is an acquaintance!

At this moment, Baiyun's pupils tightened, and finally, clues were found on his palm.

Thick calluses, and a little finger missing from the palm.

"It's you!"

"You deserter, you actually have the nerve to come back and make such nonsense?!"

"You still want me to surrender, bah, I'm ashamed to be with you!"

Bai Yun looked indignant.

Even though I knew I would die, I was completely unafraid at this moment.

On the other hand, looking at the other side, its face changed, its eyes were bloodshot, its teeth were gnashed, and its expression was hideous and terrifying, "Damn, damn, damn, damn!"

"That's slander! I haven't escaped yet!"

"He actually convicted me like that, and even pretended to cut off one of my fingers. Fortunately, I believed him."

"As a result, he kicked me out of the army and threw me into that small county town. However, he himself rose step by step and became a general. What about me? My talent is not bad!"

"I should have had a better future!"

"I'm so frustrated!"

"I want him dead! I should be the general! I'm going to kill him now!"

It looked like it was crazy and completely irrational. It didn't even rush to kill him, the person who insulted it. Instead, it kept chattering and venting its resentment and anger.

Bai Yun sneered.

"Dai Wei! You are a white-eyed wolf, a deserter, a loser, an ungrateful bastard!"

"You don't deserve to live!"

A steel knife was thrown.

Dai Wei waved his hand subconsciously.

The strong cold death energy caused the steel knife to break instantly.

The next moment, Baiyun's fist appeared in front of him.

Dai Wei looked at this former colleague.

Ability activated.

"ah!!!"

Anger welled up in Bai Yun's heart, all the injustices in the past, the grievances that should have been trivial matters, and the dissatisfaction with his own weakness at the moment...

It all seemed to turn into anger.

Looking at Bai Yun with a ferocious expression, Dai Wei smiled.

"Now, you should know why I am so angry. Come to my side."

"My former... friend."

But.

Falling from mid-air to the ground, his eyes were in a trance. Baiyun was struggling in pain and clenching his teeth at this moment, blood flowing out from the broken part of his tongue.

It turns out that this is the strange ability that the white-eyed wolf has acquired. No wonder, haha, but my Tianyou Army guards have no bones, let alone a white-eyed wolf!

General, see you in the next life.

Poof!

Drenched with blood.

He actually stabbed himself with a knife!

The hot blood splashed on the face of the shivering bandit leader who had been kneeling next to him, making him feel an inexplicable chill, and he immediately knelt more properly.

Dai Wei looked dull.

What followed immediately was an even higher level of anger, even rage!

"Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn..."

"Ahhhh!! Why! Why is this! I don't accept it!!"

"Bai Wu! I'm going to eat you!"

Angry roars resounded across the battlefield, and along with blood and killing, there were fewer and fewer people on the battlefield.

Those who survived all had red eyes. Even if they just glanced at him, they felt that he was an angry person and could not see much reason.

The murderous aura on his body was even more undisguised.

The leader of this group of angry and demented beasts was the bandit leader who just knelt down and begged for mercy.

In the pool of blood, Dai Wei finished venting his anger before looking at the bandit leader.

He kept the other party because he needed someone with brains to lead these troops that he had made irrational.

Although he cannot completely control these insane and angry people, he can direct their anger and indirectly control them, so that he can create an extremely lethal death-defying army.

It will help him seize power.

Say it again.

He wants to be a general!

"Hmph, hehe, hahahaha, Baiyun, just watch, I have taken the position of general."

Dai Wei twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled with a smile on his face, his eyes full of madness after rage.

Extreme anger is like this, and it will inevitably bring madness.

"Let's go! Go to Tianyou Pass!"

…

And at this time.

A battle is taking place in Tianyou Pass.

On the vast plains, large black torrents continued to spread upward.

Under the city wall, corpses piled up one after another wearing only some fur, more like herdsmen than soldiers, turned into another climbing wall of corpses.

On the city wall, bows and arrows were fired, wooden hammers rolled, and hot golden soup and hot oil rushed down, taking away a large number of enemy troops.

These enemy soldiers were not dead when they fell. They were covered in dense hot bubbles, exuding a disgusting smell of meat, and were constantly wailing in pain. Such people were already dead. Even if they were rescued, they would be infected and die from the golden soup.

This is ant siege, the most brutal form of common warfare.

At this time, the warriors also added to this cruel siege battle.

The warriors of the Muscle and Bone Realm wielded giant hammers, giant swords, and iron rods, smashing every soldier who stepped onto the wall to death.

Under the beautiful snow and sunshine.

Ming Jin withdraws his troops.

The "soldiers" who were driven to the battlefield finally retreated in misery, and the soldiers who were victims on the city wall finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The cold wind howled.

The cold obsidian city wall was covered with mottled bloodstains.

The residual limbs, flesh and blood mixed with the mud and dust, turning into thick blood mud. The earthy smell of the soil and the bloody smell of the blood were so harmonious at this moment.

And below, corpses stretched out their hands stiffly, with pale faces and dead eyes, like a forest of corpses, all over the battlefield.

This shows how cruel this war was.

On the city wall.

Bai Wu silently watched the army of Beiyuan Nanwangting gradually retreating back to the camp.

The soldiers around him were also treating the wounded in an orderly manner. If the wounds were serious and dying, they would be killed on the spot.

As for those who could still be saved, they were quickly sent down by their comrades.

After many years of war, this set of procedures has long been familiar.

"Huh~"

The white mist lingered in the cold air for a long time.

Bai Wu stood on the top of the city, guarding motionlessly, and I don't know what he was thinking.

The soldiers who passed by would look at him with respect.

For them.
