I was reborn with amnesia and was picked up by Lao Gong

Xiayun was suspicious, so she followed the boy's words and walked towards the gate of the city.

He thought he understood Fengyan's personality, and the reason why he went to the gate of the city was just for peace of mind - but the further south he went, the more ugly the expression on his face became.

When he approached the gate of the city, the roadside scene also changed from prosperity to decline. Except for some crooked and collapsed wooden houses, the place was deserted, only a few pieces of broken cloth fluttered in the wind, making an unpleasant crackling sound.

"These houses, after all..."

Xiayun looked at the beams that had fallen to the ground, stretched out her hand to caress the flat section, and gradually felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart.

These wooden houses were obviously not built by him, and the mana required to build a house is too great, except for Xia Yun herself, no one in the world can do it.

Just looking at the rough handwork, the houses in this area should be built slowly by people with a hammer and a nail.But why are these wooden houses abandoned here?

He was anxious, and his steps gradually accelerated.The dust on the side of the road was lifted up by his movement and sank back to the ground.

When arriving at the gate of the city, Xiayun thought for a moment that she was back on the battlefield.

There are piles of corpses everywhere, some have been turned into bones, and some are half rotten.

Hundreds of crows perched on the swollen corpse, tearing pieces of flesh with their tiny beaks.

Seeing Xiayun approaching, the crows flew up vigilantly, but quickly landed on the spot, tilting their pitch-black necks and staring at him provocatively.

A trace of coldness crawled down Xiayun's back.He raised his hand, pressed the wooden pillar beside him, and couldn't help retching.

There was a faint fishy smell here, but it stimulated every nerve in his body.He thought of the nightmarish war, the heads rolling on the ground one after another, and the flesh that crumbled before his eyes——

Xiayun took a breath, trying to calm down his chaotic thoughts, but his whole body was shaking, and his stomach was still convulsing, the pain made him kneel down uncontrollably.

— No, these cannot be true.

Xiayun settled down, and cast spells on her body to block out the breath of the outside world.He stood up and walked slowly towards the pile of corpses.

It wasn't until Xiayun walked up to the piece of flesh and bones that he realized that someone had cast a spell on this area.

The incantation was exquisitely set up, blocking the rotten smell from the corpse pile, and also vaguely covered those horrible pictures.

To put it simply, with this layer of spells, those who have never practiced spells can't see this piece of purgatory on earth.

Xiayun tried her best to endure the churning in her stomach, and looked around the pile of corpses several times to make sure that there was no one left alive.

He walked out of the pile of corpses, directly lifted the transformation, and galloped in the direction of Wangyun Palace.

The cold wind swept across Xiayun's face and rushed into his robe, but the anger in his heart kept steaming until it filled his entire chest.

He remembered what the young man surnamed Qin had said in front of Lanyan Hall: "My lord general is benevolent. He didn't drive you out of the city, but he didn't intend to let you stay for a long time. One by one, they wanted to stay with shameless faces, but in the end they didn't hold on." If you don’t go down, you will starve to death there?”

"Go away, stay here, the officers and soldiers will arrive later, even if you don't want to leave, you will be driven to the gate of the city."

Since Sulan's manager is still Fengyan, within his jurisdiction, only Fengyan herself can do such a horrific thing.

When seeing those corpses just now, Xiayun discovered that many corpses had their leg bones broken and their meridians cut off before they died.It's not that they don't want to leave, but they can't.

Those so-called officers and soldiers, after making people crippled, did not give them a fatal blow, but dragged them to the terrible pile of corpses for disposal.

Before those people died, they could only lie there dying, watching the crows take away their flesh——

"Who gave you the right to treat those innocent people like this."

Xia Yun floated above Wangyun Palace, her robe fluttering with the wind.

He saw many new houses erected outside Wangyun Palace, all decorated with lights and festoons, very lively.

The streets were filled with stalls of all sizes, and the people wandering the streets were either sitting in sedan chairs or riding horses.

Those people are richly dressed and covered with valuable accessories;

On the other hand, the stall owners on the side of the street were smiling all over their faces, nodding and bowing to the center of the road—that way, it was no different from worshiping the emperor.

He saw that the square on the right side of Wangyun Palace was empty, and the hundreds of desks that had been placed there had all disappeared.

Instead, there is a lonely cross in the center of the square, with a few ropes and chains wrapped around it.Under the shelf, there was a large black stain with a hint of dark red.

He saw that many new stables were built in Wangyun Palace, and the horses inside were all fat and strong, and their manes were combed smoothly.

In front of the stables, stood a few soldiers in armor, two of them moved their lips, as if they were talking about something.

Xiayun has not been burned by anger yet.He thought for a while, cast a spell to hide his figure, and landed quietly beside the stable.

As if sensing Xiayun's aura, the horse closest to him barked, twisted its neck, lowered its head again after seeing no one, and continued to gnaw hay.

"Brother, are you serious about the General?"

Xiayun stood in front of the two soldiers, but they couldn't see him, they just talked to themselves.

Xu Shi took other colleagues into consideration, their words were not loud, but they all reached Xiayun's ears.

"Hush, aren't you afraid of losing your head if you say such things in the palace?"

The soldier standing on the right looked around nervously and spoke in a low voice, trying to silence his companion.

"But, but elder brother, when I came to train soldiers, I clearly heard that I would be able to leave the palace after three years. Why can't I go home after four years?"

"If you have money, you can go home. Let me tell you, the three-year military camp period was five years ago. Now that the general needs to prepare for combat power, how can he let you go back?"

"Why is this... so those rumors are all true? My lord, is he really going to start a war?"

"Nonsense, didn't you see the weapons brought in by the carts? And our armor, what do you think it is for?"

"However, I managed to escape from the Yijia country for a long time, and I don't want to go to the battlefield to die..."

"Stop talking, didn't you see that everyone else looked over? If you don't want to die, don't say such depressing words!"

The soldier on the left lowered his head and fell silent.Xiayun suppressed the fear and anger in her heart, stretched out her hand and concentrated a wave of magic power, and swung it towards the group of soldiers.

He lifted the spell to conceal his figure, stared at the soldiers with empty eyes, and asked word by word: "Your general, where are you now?"

Fengyan is in a good mood.

He was wearing a crimson robe similar to Xiayun, sitting on a platinum chair inlaid with pearls and jade, flipping through the files presented by his subordinates.

It densely records the gold, silver and jewels in the warehouse, as well as various high-quality instruments.

Ever since he became a general and acted as Sulan's agent, all these things that were out of his reach have all been in his arms at once.

"not enough."

With a "snap", the dossier was thrown onto the golden table.He looked at the rising smoke, touched the good purple sand stove, and took a deep breath.

"It's got to be more, more."

He leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, the jade on it made his back ache, but these were not important.

He thought about the war to be launched in the near future.

The Yijia and Eryi countries are no longer powerful and powerful countries.Now, as long as they march south, the territory of Sulan will be expanded to dozens of times its current size——

At that time, why would he need to stay in this mountain and be some kind of general.Over the past ten years, he has worked hard to win the hearts of the city residents and gather enough combat power.Those unqualified things were all dealt with under his orders.

He was very patient, and he did not directly reveal his intentions, but step by step, bit by bit, like a slow fire, permeated his thoughts throughout the whole room.

Those common people, unknowingly, became puppets to realize their wishes.Although they were being used, they didn't realize it. They would only bite the general one at a time and look at him with eyes full of admiration.

Although someone has discovered it, what does it matter?Aren't those who disagree with him "take good care of" by him?

He is a high-ranking general, and there are many officers and soldiers who are devoted to him.Unless the man comes back, or—

"Fengyan."

He sat up abruptly, quietly drew out the fine iron sword beside him, and then hid the blade under the table.

"Who is there?"

That calling sound is so familiar, but it contains different emotions than usual, erratic like an auditory hallucination.

Feng Yan looked around every corner of the hall vigilantly, but didn't see the slightest figure.He waited for a while, and seeing that there was still no movement, he let out a breath and raised the blade——

"Fengyan."

With a serious look on his face, he swung his left hand and struck a thunderbolt forward.After a burst of violent noise, the ground in front of it became scorched black, and the embedded marble was turned over, and some were directly blown to pieces.

On the piece of gravel, there was a figure floating.The man was dressed in a white robe, and his long black hair flew with the air current.

"Palace Master, is that you?"

Fengyan's back felt a little chilly, but a smile was still on his face quickly.He stood up, walked down the low platform, and bowed forward: "Master, you are back? Is your cultivation going well?"

Staring at the familiar smiling face in front of her, Xiayun said slowly, "I'll come back and see what Sulan has become under your management."

Fengyan held the iron sword in her hand and smiled: "Don't worry, Mistress, Sulan is getting stronger and more prosperous now. If you don't believe me, I can take you around."

Xiayun said: "No need, I've already walked around."

A trace of uneasiness flashed across Fengyan's face, but he immediately returned to a calm expression: "Well, the palace master must have seen that the street is full of prosperity, right? In the past few years, relying on the raw stones mined, we and Sanbing Kingdom Countless transactions have been made, and a lot of financial resources have been saved, enough to allow the big guys to live a good life."

He stretched out his hand to caress the gilded copper table behind him, and said: "Palace Master, look at how many good things I have added to your Liyang Palace."

Xia Yun suppressed her anger, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I'm afraid, what you traded with the Three Kingdoms is not just these piles of stones, right? You might as well tell me how you managed to gather so many horses and battle armor in five years." ?”

Feng Yan chuckled: "Stones? Palace Master, you forgot again, these are not ordinary stones."

He got up, slowly sat back on the platinum chair, and said, "Every gemstone on this chair can be exchanged for a hundred horses."

Xia Yun said: "Then, can we exchange for more than a dozen wooden houses?"

Feng Yan smiled and said: "Palace Master was joking, people in Sulan live in brick houses built by Palace Master, how can anyone live in a wooden house?"

Xia Yun said: "Then tell me, what happened to the destroyed house near the city gate?"

Feng Yan said: "Oh, that."

He raised his sword and stroked the blade lightly.The edge of the sword reflected his upturned mouth and dark eyes.

"Those are just for fun, and no one wants to live in them anyway, so they are discarded."

Xiayun stared at the sword that was shining with cold light, and said: "It's not that no one wants to live, it's because you don't want to live."

When seeing those wooden houses before, Xiayun noticed that the builders seemed to be in a hurry, several nails were screwed crookedly, and even the quality of the boards used was uneven, and some were obviously rotten wood, which was not suitable for building houses at all.

Considering the words heard in front of Lanyan Hall, it is not difficult to guess that these wooden houses are temporary residences built by newcomers;

Or, those who were evicted from their original homes built hastily to avoid sleeping in the open.

He looked at the smiling face in front of him, the passage of time had left traces on the young man's face, making his smile look a bit ferocious.

After all, where did it go wrong?

Feng Yan said: "Palace Master, what you said is wrong. I saw Palace Master just now and thought you were here to catch up with me. But I didn't expect that you came to Xingshi to question my crimes, it really makes me feel sad. "

Xiayun snorted, and said: "If you are innocent, how can I ask you for guilt?"

"Palace Master's words are wrong. Everything Fengyan did was for the sake of Sulan. The Palace Master asks the crime, Fengyan asks herself, and she has a clear conscience."

"You have a clear conscience? Then tell me, what happened to those corpses at the gate of the city? Also, what happened to the soldiers saying that you want to start a war?"

Feng Yan blinked her eyes with an innocent look on her face: "Palace Master, you have misunderstood. Those at the gate of the city are all criminals who committed burning, killing, and looting. Those villains never repent, I am just saving the chaff from the chaff. .”

He put his sword back into the scabbard, stood up and walked in front of Xiayun, keeping his eyes on the same level as it: "As for the war, the palace master does not know where the people outside come from. Now the first and second two countries are fighting Decline, if you don't strike first, when their national strength recovers, it will be the time when Sulan is trampled down by iron cavalry. The palace master is benevolent, he shouldn't bear to see Sulan's city crumbled and its people destroyed."

Xiayun stared at Fengyan's unsmiling eyes, a trace of grief flashed across her face. "Feng Yan, how long are you going to lie to me? If you really think about the city people, why would you set up another Lanyan Hall to keep the common people out?"

Fengyan's eyes turned cold.He whispered: "Master, what's wrong with me building the Lanyan Hall? I provide such a good learning environment for the students, and it's not too much for them to offer some money for it, right?"

Xia Yun said: "What's wrong, don't you have any idea in your heart? If Lan'er didn't like your way, how could she abandon the students and leave by herself?"

Feng Yan said: "Speaking of Su Lan, isn't the Palace Master curious, where did he go?"

Xiayun was stunned for a moment, and said, "Lan'er...hasn't he returned to Su's house?"

Feng Yan shook her head: "Palace Master, you are still so naive. Don't even think about it. If Su Lan is still well, how could she watch me prepare for the war?"

He looked at Xia Yun's startled face, and said softly: "Su Lan, like the Palace Master, is so kind that he is almost stupid. I said Palace Master, if you really care about him, why don't you come to Su's house to see him? What is it like now?"

Listening to Fengyan's laughter, Xiayun felt chills all over her body.He took a few steps back and said in a trembling voice, "What did you do to Lan'er?"

Feng Yan smiled and said: "It's nothing, just let him be obedient. Oh, yes, even if Su Lan becomes like this, she still misses the Palace Master very much. She doesn't hesitate to ask my daughter to go up the mountain and send you some food every day. Looking forward to your early return from customs."

He paused and said: "It's a pity, if he can go up the mountain by himself, he won't need to bother my daughter."

There was a "boom" in Xiayun's head, as if something had broken off.He suddenly realized that the person in front of him was so strange, and how cold this resplendent palace was.

He took a few steps back, turned around and wanted to fly to Su's house, but as soon as he stepped out of Liyang Hall, he felt a chill in his chest——

An iron sword pierced through his left chest, and golden-red blood instantly smeared on the white clothes.He stretched out his hand in disbelief, trying to pull out the blade, but the sharp pain that came immediately forced him to kneel down.

He heard footsteps behind him, and then the bright silver blade lengthened little by little before his eyes, and then pulled away instantly.

He was shaking with pain, and saw his own blood spray out in large quantities, staining the stone steps.

"I said Palace Master, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Won't you have a good chat with me?"

In the tearing pain, Xiayun saw a pair of dark eyes.

"Are you curious why you were injured by this iron sword, and why do you feel—pain?"

A hand pressed against his wound, reached into his chest, and stirred inside.Xiayun was so painful that she almost fainted, she couldn't help moaning, and collapsed to the ground.

"You forgot, you told me yourself. When you first started studying spells, you said that your body structure is no different from ours. You are indeed immortal, but you always have weaknesses, right?"

Fengyan pressed Xiayun's bloody wound, smiled and withdrew her hand, and wiped Xiayun's robe.

"As for us "humans", if the heart is pierced, we will not be able to breathe. "

He leaned down and whispered in Xiayun's ear: "Then, what will happen to you, Palace Master?"

Xiayun wanted to push him away, but she couldn't use her hands, and her body convulsed unconsciously.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Feng Yan instantly suppressed her smile, and stretched out her hand to grab his neck.

"You'd better rest. Today's Sulan doesn't need the great Palace Master Xiayun anymore."

Xiayun moved her lips, but Fengyan's hands were ruthless, preventing him from speaking.

He felt that his breathing was getting heavier, and his survival instinct made him lift his fingertips, but he only moved a few times with difficulty, and then fell down feebly.

Beyond Fengyan's ferocious face is the glow of the sky.That heavy fiery red is like a burning beacon.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, he was wrong.

He didn't listen to Ah Chi's advice, nor did he pay attention to Lan'er's words, he just wanted to believe what he saw before him, and believed that all the good people in this world...

There was a burning pain in his heart, and his whole body was wet and sticky, some of it was sweat, but more of it was blood.

How many people did his innocence hurt?

Those laughing people on the street, those ignorant children—do they know that their homes will soon be burned by the flames of war, and then there will be nothing left?

Also, the young girls in front of the Lanyan Hall could clearly see the purgatory scene at the city gate, knowing that so many innocent people died in pain.

They were born in this peaceful Sulan, so why are they so cruel and numb, without mercy?

Xia Yun closed her eyes, only feeling that the corners of her eyes were hot.He heard someone coming, and asked with concern if Feng Yan was doing well, and if he needed to take the assassin in front of him into the dungeon.

"It's okay. Let me handle this person."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from beside my ears.Xia Yun opened her eyes with difficulty, only to see under a magic mask——

He closed his eyes and fell into absolute darkness.
