It was a noisy day, with corpses strewn outside the Chu Family Fort and rivers of blood flowing.
The Chu archers on the top of the city stopped their attack with a tacit understanding. With the last rays of the setting sun, a large group of Lifu and servants from Yazhou City walked onto the battlefield and collected the corpses silently.
Amidst the low roar, several Chu clan worshipers activated secret techniques on the city wall. A white wave rushed up more than ten feet high from the junction of the moat and the external waters, and washed away the silted miner slave corpses along the moat.
One by one, the fire dragons meandered towards the camp outside the city, and the private armies of wealthy families in Yazhou and relatively close to Yazhou City entered the camp.
Because of Ying Xiuer's strict requirements, these wealthy families not only brought their own private military guards, but also the powerful servants, long-term workers who could wield sticks, tenants who rented their land, etc., and even Even the strong and healthy women were packed up and moved over.
These teams ranged from three to five thousand to tens of thousands of people, and there was no discipline at all. They were noisy and playful all the way. Under the cold eyes of countless wild warriors, they walked into the camp without any fear.
At the core of the camp, in a tent specially built for Green Girl, Ying Xiuer knelt down behind a piano table and looked at the guqin in front of her with great seriousness.
Green Girl sat lazily behind another piano table, slightly raised her eyes, and looked at Ying Xiuer with a half-smile.
There was a faint fragrance flowing in the tent. Several of Ying Xiuer's personal maids, Yin Ya, bit their lower lips and their bodies trembled slightly. They spent a lot of effort to endure and stand in the tent without covering their heads. He covered his ears and ran away.
Suddenly, Ying Xiuer hooked her ten fingers on the guqin, and when she lifted her fingers stiffly, she heard a "dong-dong, buzz, creak" sound. The extremely unpleasant sound of the piano rolled out like a flood of beasts, and instantly filled the entire tent, like thunder. Not enough to cover one's ears, it filled everyone's ears.
Green Girl sighed softly. She placed her hands on the piano platform, gently plugged her ears with two white fingers, and said softly: "Young Master Ying, you are also very good at being a commander-in-chief who leads the army in battle. Why should a general who leads an army have to be proficient in music?"
What Lv Gu means is that you should lead a group of reckless men to kill people. You have no talent for music, so don't ruin the rare ten thousand-year-old guqin in front of you here, which has been preserved from the ancient Qin era. .
Ying Xiuer gritted her teeth, and a vein bulged on her forehead. Lao Gao suppressed the anger in her heart and smiled in a "peaceful" tone: "Xiuer is stupid, which makes Sister Lu laugh. But, Xiuer, ah My mother is proficient in poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Xiu'er just wants to imitate my mother to a certain extent."
With a long sigh, she gently pushed the guqin away with both hands. Ying Xiuer said dejectedly: "It's just for today. Sister Lu is just resting. If you need anything, just ask the people below. Sister Lu is a distinguished guest of my Ying clan, who is it?" I don’t dare to neglect it.”
Standing up, Ying Xiuer walked out of the tent.
Green Girl's eyes flickered a few times, and she asked behind Ying Xiu'er: "Young Master Ying, why are you doing this? Is it really just to break the Chu Family Fort and avenge your parents?"
Lv Gu then asked: "Lv Gu is not familiar with military affairs, but she can also see that Young Master Ying seems to be in no rush to break the Chu Family Fort these days? Could it be that Young Master Ying is just wasting his military strength on purpose?"
Ying Xiuer pondered for a moment, turned around, smiled and bowed to Aunt Lv: "Sister Lu Aunt, how pure and carefree is she? Sister Lv Aunt doesn't have to worry about these mundane things. What Xiu'er does is her own responsibility. It’s Xiu’er’s intention.”
After a slight pause, Ying Xiuer said in a deep voice: "As the young master of the Ying family, Xiu'er naturally has to plan for the Ying family. As for other things, I really can't care about them. This 'other' naturally includes those wealthy private individuals. The lives of the army, and even the leading figures of various wealthy families, if they need to be sacrificed, they will naturally have to sacrifice them too."
Before Lu Gu could ask, Ying Xiuer asked her with a smile: "Sister Lu Gu, do you know what the meaning of the word 'sacrifice' is?"
Green Girl was silent.
Ying Xiuer stopped her smile, saluted Lv Gu again, turned around and walked out of the tent.
The original meaning of the so-called "sacrifice" is naturally not only to die on the battlefield. In the ancient Qin Dynasty before the Jin Dynasty, the connotation of "sacrifice" was to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and livestock slaughtered in large numbers were called "sacrifice" ".
In Ying Xiuer's heart, the private soldiers from various wealthy families in the coalition camp were just "sacrifice".
The sun has completely sunk, and a thick veil of night covers the sky and the earth. Over the Shiwanhuang wilderness, the night seems to be getting heavier and thicker. There is no moon tonight, and there are no stars either. The sky is dark and full of dark clouds. A biting cold wind blows out from the gaps in the clouds and blows on people, making people feel cold all over and feeling despair out of thin air in their hearts.
Ying Xiuer raised her head, looked at the dark sky, and suddenly muttered subconsciously: "It is said that ten thousand years ago, on the day of the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the sun, moon and stars were not visible in the sky for three years, and darkness enveloped the world for three years. There was blood rain from the sky, Demons and ghosts were born from the earth, and the Qin Dynasty, which was strong for a while, perished like this."
"I wonder, compared with today's night, what does the darkness that lasted for three years look like?"
"Tsk, little girl, you know a lot? Hee, is such a smooth little girl actually the commander-in-chief of these lonely wild ghosts? The human race has no one left, and each generation is worse than the last!" The sarcastic sneer began. Came from the darkness nearby, and several personal maids around Ying Xiuer immediately shouted loudly.
A dark wind came, and Lu Yingying's skeleton ghost hand with a radius of about ten feet swooped towards Ying Xiuer in the cold wind, and was about to grab her in his hand.
The long swords in the hands of Ying Xiuer's maids shot out, and four or five bright silver sword lights struck the skeleton ghost's hand fiercely. Only the sound of "chi chi" was heard, and a few ghost fires attached to the long swords and burned fiercely. , the long sword forged from thousands of refined steel was burned into molten iron in just a few strokes.
The palms of several maids were burnt by the red-hot sword hilts, and black smoke erupted. They screamed in pain, and their bodies were trembled by a strange force like electricity, and they staggered backwards.
Only Ying Xiu'er was left alone to face the skeleton ghost claws coming towards her. She let out a soft drink, and a violent rush rushed out from behind her. The blue dragon's shell figure jumped out from the darkness, and circled Ying with a "crash" sound. Xiu'er circled rapidly.
The blue dragon in the picture has scarlet eyes, and a vague dragon roar is heard. Two bloody lights shoot out from the blue dragon's eyes, hitting the green skeleton's ghost claws hard.
There was a muffled groan in the darkness, and the skeleton's ghost claws shattered in the air.
"Okay, a picture of the Canglong Escape Plan! What a bunch of trash. The fat man who was sent to me back then actually couldn't get this treasure!"
In the darkness, the sarcastic and cold voice quickly faded away: "However, it's not too late. You, a pretty little girl, have brought this treasure to us again. This mouthful of fat must be swallowed this time." "
