After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Liu Yunxiang immediately put on his cloak and rode out.

When Liu Yunxiang arrived in front of the government office, before he could get off his horse, he saw Shen Yunzhou hurriedly coming out with a dozen official servants. He looked very unhappy. Even when he was threatened by Li Batian and others with machetes, he was not as angry as he was now. He was still a little panicked in anger.

They mounted their horses and galloped towards the city gate.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly chased after him, "Master Shen, is there any news about Sister Qu?"

Shen Yunzhou glanced at her with dark eyes, but did not answer and continued walking forward.

Liu Yunxiang hesitated for a moment, then simply followed them out of the city.

After leaving the city and heading north, we arrived at Zhenbeiguan in about an hour. There was a small group of armored soldiers waiting for them at the pass. Seeing them coming, they rode their horses to lead the way.

Liu Yunxiang followed him out of Zhenbeiguan. In the stretching desert outside the pass, the cold wind howled, rolling up gravel and pricking people's faces, which was cold and painful.

The sky was filled with wind and sand, and Liu Yunxiang could only slow down and try his best to keep up with them.

After walking for a long time, Liu Yunxiang saw shadows standing on the dunes not far away across the yellow sand. She was in a daze. Was it them? Why were they so motionless?

She felt timid, but she didn't stop and climbed up the slope with difficulty. When she got closer, it was indeed Shen Yunzhou and the others.

It was so cold today that their hair and eyelashes were covered in frost, as if they were all frozen.

This atmosphere is a little too weird...

Liu Yunxiang got off his horse, walked towards them, and then looked in the direction of their sight.

Suddenly! She also paused!

Yan Beiqing once told her that this place is among the clouds in the sky.

At this moment, the sky is gloomy, so the lake is also gloomy.

Corpses are floating above...

I can’t count them at the moment.

Liu Yunxiang's breathing was stagnant. When she felt the pain of suffocation, she suddenly exhaled, and then panted heavily. Her eyes were burning, her body was trembling, and she couldn't move in the biting wind.

There are female corpses in the lake, their clothes are scattered, and their deaths are miserable.

I don’t know who made the move first, but the group followed, and Liu Yunxiang also staggered behind.

When I got to the lake, I took a closer look and saw that the water was dyed red.

The closest one was a female corpse. The body... was incomplete. One arm was missing, the legs were extremely bent, there were dozens of stab wounds on the body, and the face... looked like it had been burned by hot oil.

Liu Yunxiang suddenly covered his mouth and took two steps back.

She was like this, these officers and soldiers, these men who were used to seeing killings, their eyes were wide open and they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Are these...the missing women?" Shen Yunzhou asked.

But no one could answer it. Most of their faces were destroyed and their original appearance could not be seen.

"So many, there must be about fifty or sixty corpses..." someone said solemnly.

"There's someone over there!" someone suddenly shouted.

Everyone looked towards the other side of the lake. The lake was not big, so they could see the other side at a glance. However, the sky was full of yellow sand, blocking their sight, and only a few figures could be seen faintly.

Liu Yunxiang rubbed his eyes, trying to take a closer look, but what came first was a burst of laughter.

Hahaha……

Hahaha……

This smile is like coming from the underworld, making people's hearts tremble and their spines shiver.

At this time, the wind suddenly stopped, the yellow sand fell to the ground, and the vision became clear.

Someone shouted again: "They are soldiers from Beijin!"

There is a hook on the helmet of the Beijin soldier, and the hook is covered with red cloth, so it is easy to identify. They were still standing on the opposite side, pointing at them, laughing so hard.

"Is it them?" someone asked.

No one needed to answer, because those on the other side who were provoked by the Beijin soldiers picked up a body from a cart, stabbed them in front of them, and then threw it into the lake.

This scene simply provoked the nerves of every Daiei soldier, and they immediately raised their spears and rushed over.

"Stop!" the leading lieutenant shouted. Seeing that no one listened, he yelled again: "Stop her motherfucker! Beijin and Darong have already negotiated peace. If you start a dispute now, the court will ask for it." Don’t even want the heads of us people, no, the heads of our wives, children, and children!”

This sentence made all the soldiers stop. They clenched their spears, their faces full of struggle and pain, and finally these men cried.

The Beijin people are laughing over there, and they are crying over here.

Those people saw enough of the joke and walked away, as if they were expected not to dare to rush forward. There are more than 20 people on their side, but there are only a few soldiers from Beijin over there. But behind them is the weak Da Rong court, and opposite them is the power of Beijin.

After a long time, Shen Yunzhou sighed and said, "Everyone, let's pick up the bodies of these girls first. It's getting dark, so we have to take them home."

The soldiers took off their armor without saying a word, and jumped into the cold water one by one. No matter how far they swam, they fished out the bodies of these girls one by one.

Liu Yunxiang came to his senses later and hurriedly picked up some dry firewood and lit it on fire so that the soldiers who came up from the water could quickly dry their clothes.

It's too cold today. If you go back wearing wet clothes, you will freeze to death.

Only when they saw the fire burning did everyone discover Liu Yunxiang.

The leading deputy general was named Wei Tian. She glanced at Liu Yunxiang and turned to ask Shen Yunzhou.

"Who is this?"

Shen Yunzhou glanced at Liu Yunxiang, who was returning with a large bundle of dry firewood, and said, "Your wife, Commander Yan."

Wei Tian understood, "Oh, I heard that Madam Yan came to Zhenbeiguan. It turns out it's true."

When all the corpses were picked up, although Liu Yunxiang felt uncomfortable, he still forced himself to identify them one by one. Finally, she and Shen Yunzhou looked at each other, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no Qu Moran in this!

The soldiers dried their clothes and quickly put on their armor. Each of them took two or even three corpses and hurried back, fearing that something might happen.

Across Yunjing Lake, ten miles to the north, is the military camp of Beijin.

It was already very late when we returned to Zhenbeiguan. Liu Yunxiang stayed with Shen Yunzhou and the others at the post house in Zhenbeiguan.

Wei Tian asked her for the best room in the post house, and specifically asked the people in the post house to light a charcoal fire for her to keep the house warm.

"Madam, the conditions here are poor and make you suffer."

Liu Yunxiang shook his head hastily, "I've caused trouble for you."

"No, no, it's our honor. If you have any orders, just tell them,"

Everyone was quite tired. After Liu Yunxiang thanked him, he sent the lieutenant away.

At night, Liu Yunxiang couldn't sleep. When he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the faces of those female corpses, faces that were twisted and painful, and whose appearance was unclear.

Occasionally I fall asleep and wake up suddenly.

After a night like this, Liu Yunxiang woke up the next day with a little pain in his head.

She had just finished washing and came out when she saw Wei Tian hurriedly knocking on the door next door. Soon, Shen Yunzhou opened the door.

"Master Shen, three villages below Zhenbeiguan were looted last night!"
