Chapter 272
Xiao Yunchen's face was flushed by what he said, at this moment, the rest of the soldiers came carrying the corpses of those who died in battle.

After they took off the iron plate with the name and hometown engraved on the neck of the deceased, they put them on the ground and dug a hole with Huo Jinhe.

Xiao Yunchen asked what they were doing, but no one answered, he knew he was ashamed and didn't know how to help, so he just stood there stupidly.

Huo Jinhe and his soldiers put their comrades who died in battle into the pit. The men who bled but not shed tears smashed the wine jars with red eyes and poured spirits on the corpses.

Xiao Yunchen just watched them light a raging fire where their former companions were lying.

He couldn't help asking in a low voice: "They are also considered to have sacrificed their lives for the country, why let them die without a whole body?"

Huo Jin and a hot-tempered lieutenant beside him snorted coldly: "To prevent them from becoming barbarian rations!"

What does this mean?
His previous behavior had obviously angered most of the soldiers, and no one was willing to explain his confusion, but what he saw and heard these days made Xiao Yunchen deeply realize that he was really too stupid in the past!

The barbarians are different from any "wicked people" he has seen before. They have no morals, no ethics, no kindness, compassion, and shame...

They are like beasts!
Xiao Yunchen had seen too much of the casualness of the barbarians when they killed people, and also witnessed the terrifying scene of barbarians cannibalizing people on the marching road. Gradually, his hand holding the sword stopped shaking.

He understood that there are some things in the world that really cannot be both.

It was he who wrongly blamed Huo Jinhe, or in other words, he had no right to blame Huo Jinhe at all, because the one who made the mistake was himself from the beginning...

Unlike him, the surviving captives kept complaining to Huo Jinhe, but respected and respected His Royal Highness Chen Wang who agreed to exchange their lives with food and grass as a saint.

Xiao Yunchen felt ashamed in their daily gratitude, tried to explain General Huo's painstaking efforts to these people, but he never succeeded.

They always said: "If he is really a good man, why didn't he save us in the first place?"

"If he is really a good person, you have agreed to exchange food and grass. Why does he still only care about hunting down the barbarians instead of protecting us in the first place?"

Xiao Yunchen couldn't answer, because he didn't understand either.

His confidant came up with another idea: "How about you go and persuade General Huo to apologize to these people in exchange for their forgiveness?"

Thinking about the feasibility of this suggestion, Xiao Yunchen came to Huo Jinhe's military tent, and after explaining his purpose, he received a heavy punch in the lower abdomen. He bent down in pain, and heard Huo Jinhe ask in his ear: "What is the method?" You didn't come up with it yourself, did you?"

Xiao Yunchen's facial features wrinkled together in pain, Huo Jinhe got up and shook his wrist.

"Where did you come from, that talkative boy?"

Xiao Yunchen was stunned, with a puzzled face: "I bought it, I bought it."

There is no one else in Huo Jinhe's military tent now, and he sat back in front of the sand table: "I will only say some things once, and you should think about it for yourself. You know people, you know their faces, you don't know your heart, and don't act like a fool at your age."

He said: "Go back and tell him that General Ben's answer to your suggestion is—it's none of your business!"

Xiao Yunchen took a few steps out in a daze, and then backed away: "Do you think Ah Jian has a problem? So you deliberately use this answer to let me test him?"

Huo Jinhe stretched his muscles.

"It's true that he has a problem."

"It's true that it's none of your business."

Xiao Yunchen: ...
