General's Gown

As if he heard the sound of someone approaching, the black figure flickered, as if he wanted to run, He Lian Rongchuan hurriedly chased after him, and the moment his fingertips were about to touch the corner of the man's back, he stopped suddenly up.

His heart seemed to jump into his throat, and Helian Rongchuan's voice was uncontrollably excited: "Changqing, is that you? Don't be afraid, I am..."

The caught black shadow turned around tremblingly, and when his eyes touched, his knees softened, and he fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowing unceasingly:

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life, the little one will never dare again, never dare again!!!"

The candles were brightened again.Helian Rongchuan's heart sank again.

In the dim light, he finally saw the person in front of him clearly.It was the face of a completely unfamiliar man.His clothes were shabby, his face and hands were covered with red chilblains, and his small soybean-like eyes were dodging, obviously terrified.

Helian Rongchuan grabbed the man by the collar: "Who are you!"

"Forgive...forgive me!" The man was gasping for breath from being strangled, his face was flushed red, struggling desperately, he dropped the bag he was carrying with him. There were a few crisp sounds, and the things in the bundle were scattered all over the ground, which turned out to be several shovels, crowbars, axes, saws, etc., and a jade pendant.

Grave robber!

Helian Rongchuan saw at a glance that the jade pendant was Yan Changqing's belongings, and couldn't help being taken aback.The man took the opportunity to break free, turned around and fled, but he didn't take two steps when he was suddenly kicked heavily in the back of the chest, fell to the ground unexpectedly, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Spare me... my lord, spare my life!" The man screamed, and Helian Rongchuan's hand grabbed his neck severely.

"Little thief, where did you get this jade pendant?!" Helian Rongchuan's eyes were bloodshot, like a ghost from hell, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"What about people? Where did they go?!"

"Who, who? I don't know, I... I don't know anything!"

The tomb robber stammered, his eyes dodging like a mouse.Helian Rongchuan's eyes sank, he grabbed his collar and threw it hard on the ground, a sharp knife whirled in his palm, and swished it down——

"Do not!!!!"

The sharp tip of the knife stopped less than a millimeter away from the man's eyes.

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll skin you alive, and then dig out your eyeballs and feed them to the dogs."

"I said I said it!"

The tomb robber was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, but he didn't even dare to blink his eyes. He spread out on the ground tremblingly and said, "My lord, please forgive my life, my lord, please forgive my life. Now the world is in chaos, robbers and murderers are everywhere, and the little ones are really poor and can't help it." You are talented in such a sinister business! The door of this tomb was blown open by others, and everything was stolen by the soldiers guarding the tomb and the thieves in front. When I came here, I only had this coffin. I am really wronged. !"

Helian Rongchuan snorted coldly, picked up the iron saw that fell from the side, and laid it across the neck of the tomb robber: "Your saw is very sharp, do you want to try it?"

As he spoke, he pressed down, and the sharp sawtooth instantly pressed a piece of blood red on the flesh of the tomb robber's neck.Just go a little further down and you can slit your throat.

"Don't—don't!" The tomb robber screamed in fright, his head covered in cold sweat and his teeth chattering: "When I came here, I really didn't have any valuables. It's just... I just saw that the coffin was made of golden nanmu." The ones are still worth some money, I want to take a saw to cut off a few pieces and sell them to make a living..."

"What about this jade pendant? This jade pendant is a personal gift I gave him. He has never been willing to leave his body, so why is it in your hands!"

"I...I..." The tomb robber was speechless, looking at Helian Rongchuan's face as cold as frost with trepidation. He knew that this time the tomb robber really ran into someone more difficult than a ghost, so he had to tell the truth. Truly said:

"This jade pendant... I got it from that corpse..."

corpse?

He Lian Rongchuan's face turned pale immediately, and he felt a throbbing pain in his heart that almost made him unable to breathe, the pain made him almost speechless.

"Then where is his... body?"

"exist--"

The tomb robber hesitated for a moment. He knew that he would not be let go if he did not tell the truth at this time, so he said cowardly: "Your Excellency does not know, we have rules in this business. Nothing else, just Taking wood from someone else's coffin is the most detrimental thing. In order to prevent being killed by lonely ghosts, the ancestors told us that before taking wood, we must first invite the owner out of the coffin and find another place to bury it. Violent corpses are trampled. So..."

The voice of the tomb robber became smaller and smaller, trembling with fear:

"So before I took the golden nanmu, I pried off the lid of the coffin, carried the person inside out, and buried it in a nearby mass grave — ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

The tomb robber screamed, and was caught off guard by a heavy punch from Helian Rongchuan. He fell to the ground and had no time to turn over. Then he was punched a second time, and a third punch... Helian Rongchuan's forehead was swollen with veins, and he stared at him. With blood-red eyes, he didn't pay attention to tricks, and his fists were full of brute force, hitting the tomb robber again and again.The tomb robber didn't have time to dodge, he was hit a few times, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he screamed again and again. He suddenly had a quick wit and shouted:

"Kill me, who will lead you to find that buried place!"

As soon as the words fell, the fist that was about to hit him suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Everything suddenly quieted down, only the sound of water dripping from the stone wall could be heard.The air seemed to have condensed into ice and snow, and the sharp ice balls pierced people's throats.

He Lian Rongchuan leaned against the cold and frosty stone wall, and slowly and dejectedly fell to the ground.

"Take me to find him."

There are few cold stars, the cold moon is desolate, the thin and sharp branches are as motionless as cast iron, only the large tracts of dry grass tremble in the north wind.Hundreds of large and small grave mounds are undulating on the silent wasteland, and under the cover of heavy snow, there is a faint blue and white.

The tomb robber walked in the snow with one foot deep and the other shallow, squinting his eyes as he walked, and looked at the grave mounds in front of him one by one with a torch.Even though it was cold winter, his forehead was constantly sweating.And the invisible pressure emanating from the tall and majestic man behind him became more and more serious, making him feel like a thorn in his back.

The world is in such a mess?The tomb robber couldn't help clicking his tongue: I haven't seen you for two days, but there are so many new graves in this mass grave! !This...how can this be done?

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the emaciated tomb robber with a bruised nose, swollen face, and stooped back suddenly stopped, and turned around with his hands trembling.

The sharpened blade of the blade pressed against the tip of his sweaty nose, the tomb robber gulped his dry throat, and looked at Helian Rongchuan with fear and guilt.

"Big... lord?"

"You have taken me around here three times." Helian Rongchuan said, "Where is he?!"

"I...I don't know..."

"do not know?"

Frightened by the cold and murderous aura rushing towards his face, the tomb robber fell to his knees with a plop, shaking like chaff, and cried:

"The night before yesterday, I really buried people in this field. Although I didn't... I didn't have time to erect a monument, but there were obviously not as many graves at that time, so it was easy to find. But who would have thought that they died in two days? So many people were buried here indiscriminately, and it happened that it snowed heavily. As you can see, there are not many tombstones on these mounds. When the snow is heavy, they all look the same. I really can’t tell the difference Find out which one you are looking for..."

Helian Rongchuan didn't say a word.The cold silver light of the snow reflected on his body, and in a trance, his pale complexion did not look like a living person.

There are hundreds of unnamed graves under the feet, cold and dark, with countless poisonous insects, snakes and ants.

His Changqing is the most proud cloud eagle in the sky, the most beautiful morning mist in the mountains and forests, and the most stubborn lonely pine on the cliff.It was his treasure, the one he was careful to hold in his heart forever.

Could it be that such a person was just buried here with a straw mat like this?How can you bear it?How willing!

"Can't find it?" Helian Rongchuan looked at the undulating grave mound in front of him:

"Then dig and look, one by one, one by one!"

The words that popped out between the teeth made the tomb robber dumbfounded.He widened his eyes and looked at Helian Rongchuan in disbelief:

"My lord, are you kidding me? There are at least 100 graves here, all of which have been dug up? Not to mention the effort, it would be a shame—"

Before the tomb robber could finish his sentence, he raised his head to meet Helian Rongchuan's eyes, and suddenly swallowed back the words "destroying yin and virtue and shortening life" that had slipped from his lips.

"It's not him, just fill the grave back as it is. If there is a ghost who wants to die, you can let him come to me."

Helian Rongchuan turned around and said coldly, without further words.He only walked to the nearest grave, leaned over and used a knife as a shovel, and dug down the mound without hesitation.

The tomb robber was dumbfounded. He never expected that the tall and handsome man in front of him would be so determined.In his opinion, although the person in the coffin had a very good-looking face, it was said that he was still a young and promising general with a noble and unparalleled status, but everyone died, so where was he buried?In the end, it will rot in the soil, why bother?

When he only dared to whisper these words in his heart, he was afraid that he would be stabbed by Helian Rongchuan if he said one more word.He couldn't escape, he sighed silently, and had no choice but to dig the grave beside him.

In the silent snowy cemetery, for a while, only the distant barking of wild dogs and the sound of digging the grave were heard.The two dug one and filled the other, one was silent and the other dared not speak, so they worked hard all night.The soil of the tomb was frozen hard, and it was not fast to dig. However, whenever the top soil was dug up, Helian Rongchuan dropped the tools and used his ten fingers to dig down the soil little by little, for fear of hurting the soil. Get off the corpse wrapped in straw mats.Soon, his hands were dripping with blood.

The winter morning light came in from the sparse branches in the distance. After one night, the sweat on the tomb robber's head was frozen into ice balls. He lay down in the soft snow panting heavily, unable to dig anymore. up.

Mother!The tomb robber sighed, feeling that he had dug more tombs that night than he had dug in the previous ten years combined.He never wanted to do this job again!

The tomb robber sighed for a while, and suddenly realized that the man who had been digging the tomb all night like a demon not far away suddenly became silent.

Could it be—?

The tomb robber suddenly turned over, and saw Helian Rongchuan kneeling upright in front of an excavated grave, staring straight at the figure wrapped in a straw mat in the pit, Zhang He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

The tomb robber glanced at the straw mat, and suddenly understood everything in his heart.But for some reason, he didn't feel relieved after a night of toil and twists and turns, but suddenly felt a sense of sadness and shame that he had never felt before.

"grown ups--?"

Helian Rongchuan seemed to have never heard of it, and after a long while, he suddenly pulled the corner of his mouth, burst into a sad smile, and said hoarsely: "It's him, isn't it?"

The tomb robber dared not say yes, but also dared not say no. Between hesitation, Helian Rongchuan inserted his bloody, muddy, red and purple hands into the clean snow beside him, as if he didn't know the cold. Scrubbing his hands carefully with snow as if in pain, he jumped into the pit and stared at the figure covered by the straw mat without blinking, his gaze was gentle and affectionate.

"Changqing, it's too cold here, I'll take you home."

Sure enough, there was no response.Helian Rongchuan took a deep breath, tried hard to restrain the trembling of his fingers, and gently lifted the straw mat.
