Chapter 86

Outside the south city gate, the general sat on the mountain of corpses.

The saber was casually inserted into the side, the battle robe was torn and blood was dripping continuously, but he didn't care.

Around him, there are more than 2 armored soldiers remaining.

With [-] against [-], the enemy's entire army was wiped out, but the own side was killed less than [-], which can be called a great victory.

The general felt relieved, after this battle, the main force of the rebel army was destroyed, and Dafeng City was safe from now on.

The sky suddenly began to rain, and the night wind blew, making the battlefield full of corpses a bit cold.

The general took off his helmet, caught the falling raindrops, and replaced the wine with water to pay homage to the brothers who died in battle.

The surrounding armored soldiers followed the general, took off their helmets one after another, took the rainwater as wine, and respected all the brothers who died in battle, as well as themselves.

After drinking the "wine", the [-] armored soldiers put on their helmets again, and looked at the general with a smile on their backs, and one by one they collapsed and disappeared.

The general stood up again, watching his brothers disappearing, with a sad expression on his face.

More than [-] surviving armored soldiers, including those who died in the battle before, all disappeared in a short while, turning into nothingness, leaving not even a trace of soul.

The general watched silently, the night rain wet his shirt and blurred his face.

"It shouldn't be like this."

"The city should not be broken."

"They don't deserve to die."

"It was me who failed them..."

The general standing on the mountain of corpses muttered to himself, with two lines of blood and tears in his eyes.

"Ah, I hate—"

The general suddenly looked up to the sky and screamed, black clouds surged in the sky, and thunder and lightning danced wildly.

The drizzle that was originally falling down suddenly turned into heavy rain, accompanied by the raging wind, sweeping across the entire world.

Under the light of the lightning, the general in battle armor had scarlet eyes and fluttering hair, like a god or a demon.

At this moment, a figure in a green shirt walked through the rain and came through the air.

"military adviser?"

The general opened a pair of blood pupils, his voice was hoarse, and he looked at the figure in the green shirt who stepped into the air.

Li Goyi looked at the general surrounded by black air, and said, "General, it's time for you to wake up."

"Awake?"

The general was puzzled.

"You are possessed."

"Enchanted?" The general was stunned for a moment, and then said with a surly smile, "So what?"

His face became blurred, and at the same time, his tall and majestic body emitted black air one after another.

Li Xiangyi sighed, and said: "The [-] rebel troops have been put to death, Tian Dayi, Kang Changyun, Ji Fangping and the thirteen rebel lieutenants have also been awarded their heads, Dafeng City is also safe, the general should let go of his obsession. "

The general shook his head: "No, although the [-] bandit army has been wiped out, the bandit owl is still alive."

"In addition, three thousand soldiers died because of me, and tens of thousands of people were slaughtered by thieves because of my mistake. How can we let go?"

"They are all unarmed and innocent people."

Speaking of this, the general was full of black energy, his eyes became scarlet, and he said angrily: "I have failed them. If I hadn't been careless, I had fallen into Tian Dayi's trick, and they would not have suffered such a disaster."

"For this reason, I am willing to fall into the devil's way."

"As long as I can seek justice for them, even if the heavens and the earth are destroyed, and the five thunders strike the top, I will not hesitate!"

Li Xiangyi said in a low voice: "But Tian Dayi, Kang Changyun and all the rebels have been liquidated by Dafeng Yibing and the people. The Southern Heavenly King Zhao Batian should have died after so many years. Who else should the general ask for?" justice?"

The general said coldly: "No, that thief owl is not dead yet, he is in this world, not far from Dafeng City."

"As for Tian Dayi, Kang Changyun and the others...Although they were all killed by the righteous soldiers and the common people, they still have relatives, friends and descendants!"

"As long as their relatives, friends and descendants are still there, the sins they committed will not be considered cleansed, and this blood feud will not be considered settled. Otherwise, how can this general face the tens of thousands of Dafeng people who were brutally slaughtered?"

Saying so, the general who was covered in blackness stretched out his hand, and dozens of figures flew over from Dafeng City immediately, and fell to the bottom of the mountain of corpses.

It was Lu Xueying's master and servant, the brothers and sisters of the Qin family who were enveloped in the strange blue mist.

Undoubtedly, these are the relatives and friends of General Kou Nakata Dayi, Kang Changyun, Ji Fangping and other rebels.

Because of the sins committed by the ancestors hundreds of years ago, the general who fell into the devil's way captured this evil city.

After they fell on the mountain of corpses, they were terrified when they saw the general with scarlet eyes and black air all over his body.

Immediately opposite the general, the figure in the blue shirt standing in the air shouted for help: "Please help me, sir!"

Li Xiangyi glanced at them, but did not respond.

Lu Xueying, Qin Shifeng, and Qin Shiyu understood, and comforted the others, telling them not to talk, and to listen to Mr. Li's arrangements.

Li Xiangyi looked at the general on the mountain of corpses, and said, "These are the relatives and descendants of Tian Dayi and Kang Changyun you mentioned?"

"Yes!"

"I said no."

"Military commander, don't question me. I can sense their blood, which is why I arrested them. I can assure you that I never caught the wrong person."

Li Xiangyi said indifferently: "But you just caught the wrong one."

The general frowned: "What does the military commander mean by that?"

Li Xiangyi lightly raised his folding fan, pointed at them and said, "They are not the relatives and friends of Tian Dayi, Kang Changyun and other rebels who you want to seek justice, on the contrary, look at the armor on them, they are the sergeants guarding Dafeng City .”

"That's because I want them to atone for the sins of their ancestors, so I let them join the camps."

Li Xiangyi folded his fan and shouted loudly: "Atonement? Tian Dayi and others have already given the head, these young people still need to atone for the ancestors who have been liquidated hundreds of years ago? How absurd!"

"May I ask the general, who were your ancestors' names 500 years ago? Who were your ancestors' names 800 years ago? Are there any criminals among them?"

"Even if they didn't, are they all good people from the generation of your grandfather and uncle in the past 1000 years? If so, how can the general deal with himself? Does the general want to kill himself to atone for the sins of his ancestors? "

"If that's the case, then please general kill yourself now."

The general opened his mouth slightly, speechless.

Li Xiangyi's continuous interrogation this time is to transform the heaven and the earth into the sound with awe-inspiring aura, clear and powerful, reaching the depths of the general's spirit.

Not only was the general speechless by the questioning, but the black energy all over his body was also shaken and cleared, the scarlet blood in his eyes faded slightly, and the entire fallen devil's aura dissipated a lot.

"Hundreds of years have passed since that battle back then, and the vicissitudes of life have changed. Even the imperial court temples that ruled the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers have changed several times. Everything has become history."

"The general should put it down."

"Before they were captured by you, these young men and women were the same as the people in Dafeng City that you swore to defend to the death. They lived a peaceful and leisurely life every day. The general asked them to atone for the sins of their ancestors who did not know the truth hundreds of years ago. How innocent ?”

Li Gouyi continued to use his awe-inspiring aura to transform the sound of heaven and earth, speak with reason, and stir up the black energy of evil spirits in General Qing Yang's body.

The fallen devil's aura on the general's body continued to clear away, and his pupils gradually returned to normal.

But thinking of the dissipated figures one after another, thinking of the wailing of countless people under the butcher knife of the rebellious army, he struggled, and he was still not willing to give up.

"But……"

"Don't worry about it, the general can see what they were doing every day before they were arrested, and whether they are different from the people in Dafeng City back then."

After speaking, Li Xiangyi waved his sleeves, and the pictures were immediately presented in front of the general.

It was the life of dozens of boys and girls including Lu Xueying's master and servant, Qin's brothers and sisters.

In the picture, in order not to go to school, Lu Xueying ran to find the commander of the Nursing Academy to learn martial arts, and even brought two personal maids, Chun Jing and Qiu Guang, to become monks.

Brothers and sisters Qin Shifeng and Qin Shiyue traveled to the mountains and rivers with friends of similar age every day, or went out to fight for justice together, which frightened bandits and bullies in several counties and counties.

A young man surnamed Kang is a scholar who stays in the county school every day to study, rain or shine.

A girl surnamed Tian was sent to a fairy sect by her parents from a very young age to become an outer disciple. Even though she has worked hard for many years, she is still far away from being promoted to an inner disciple.

A young man surnamed Zhang, born as a hunter, was very talented in cultivation, but in order to treat his younger sister, he had no choice but to join an escort agency and became the servant of the eldest lady. He followed the escort at a young age.

……

In these pictures, dozens of boys and girls come from different backgrounds, rich and poor, but they are all kind-hearted. Even if they make mistakes, they are not the kind of evil that must be apologetic with death.

After the general finished watching, his expression changed.

Li Gouan asked: "Does the general still think that they must atone for what their ancestors committed hundreds of years ago?"

"Maybe... I was wrong!"

The general's face was slumped, his scarlet eyes had completely receded, and a few traces of self-blame, remorse, and melancholy flashed across.

The evil black energy around him also slowly faded away.

Li Xiangyi said: "Actually, this old grudge ended hundreds of years ago when the general led [-] soul soldiers and wiped out [-] returned rebels."

"History has judged."

The general was a little stunned, and looked at Li Xiangyi.

Li Xiangyi said Qinglang: "In the "Records of the Last Generals of Hundred Wars" compiled by Beizhou military strategist Da Neng, there is a record of the general and this gale guard battle."

"The book states: In the ninth year of the Xianghe in Daliang, there was a rebellion in Daliang. Zhao Batian, the bandit leader who called himself the Southern Heavenly King, had hundreds of thousands of troops, and caused chaos in the western region. The general of the Western Army, Zhao Wohuan, led three thousand soldiers to guard Dafeng City. , the bandit soldiers could not go down for several months after continuous attack."

"The leader of the bandits later, Zhao Batian, personally led an army of [-] rebels to attack. General Zhao bravely resisted the enemy outside the city. Because of the betrayal of the rebels, the general died, and Dafeng City fell."

"However, even though the general died, his soul still does not cease. After a few months, he led his troops back and used [-] soul soldiers to defeat [-] bandit soldiers, wipe out the banditry, and restore Dafeng City to a brighter future."

"There is a poem that says: The general's soul will never die, and the army will stop after killing all the chaos. Bandits and bandits lose their souls, and the mighty army will last forever!"

A light flashed in the general's eyes: "Is that really the case?"

"Don't dare to deceive the general."

Li Xiangyi tapped his folding fan, and a phantom of a volume of books appeared in front of the general.

On the opened page was an article about this Gale Defense Battle: "The Biography of General Zhao in Gale City".

The rain stopped at night, and the wind flipped through the book. The content in the page was just like what Li Xiangyi said. At the end of the article, there was the seven-character poem that was not considered neat.

"The thieves and bandits are mourning for victory and defeat, and the might of the gale army is forever... Has it really become history?" The general said to himself in awe.

Then he raised his head and looked towards Dafeng City, his tall figure was desolate and lonely.

After the war, the wilderness outside the city was very quiet.

A few gusts of fresh wind blew past, and the layers of black clouds that had been pressing down on Dafeng City slowly dissipated.

The cold moonlight, passing through the clouds and mist, shone on the small town.

A few night crows flew by.

Lu Xueying, Qin Shifeng, Qin Shiyue and the others suddenly noticed that the tall figure on the mountain of corpses had disappeared at some point.

But in front of Li Xiangyi, there was a phantom in a green shirt.

This is a middle-aged scholar. Although it was the first time for Lu Xueying, Qin Shifeng and others to see this phantom in the blue shirt, they all knew his identity.

Dafeng City's military advisor, Li Hanfeng.

Sure enough, after the middle-aged scholar appeared, he bowed to Li Xiangyi and said, "Li Hanfeng, the garrison of Dafeng, Mr. Xie, help us to resolve the general's obsession!"

Li Xiangyi bowed in return: "Military teacher, you are polite!"

The middle-aged scribe smiled warmly, turned into a breeze, and followed the vanished general.

Lu Xueying stood up from the pile of corpses, wanting to say hello to Li Goyi.

At this moment, a young Taoist priest in white clothes flew over from a distance.

Followed by a giant shadow with red hair and beard.
