Aztec Eternals

Chapter 389: Secret communication

The setting sun shot blood and fell on the comfrey manor. The once gorgeous and glitzy, all turned into the dilapidated and destroyed in front of us. Outside the manor, the branches and leaves of rags were scattered, and there were many signs of chopping and smashing. Inside the manor, the stem of the dahlia was broken and stepped into the dust mud. And among the flowers and trees, the buildings decorated with gold and silver are dyed with fresh red, like the brush of death, writing the imprint of the end.

Ash soil Puapu came with a thousand elite warriors full of killing intent. In just half a day, he captured the manor of the Zicao family. Most of the more than 200 purple grass warriors stationed there were killed, a few were captured, and only a few scattered to the southeast. Afterwards, more than 300 people from the Zicao tribe were captured by the warriors, and they were concentrated in the main hall deep in the manor. Among them, there are 60 or 70 of Gulamo's wives and concubines alone.

At this moment, hundreds of Qin Congcan warriors were repeatedly patrolling the manor, searching for fish that slipped through the net. And Puapu personally took a hundred warriors and tortured the people of the purple grass tribe in the temple.

"Speak! Where did Gulamo go?!"

"I...I'm just a servant...ah..."

The gray earth Puapu looked fierce, grabbed the opponent's hair with his left hand, and slashed the long dagger in his right hand! The warmth splashed instantly, and Gulamo's servant died instantly. Then, with red eyes, he grabbed a middle-aged nobleman by the hair, and put the blood-stained dagger on the other's neck.

"Speak! Where did Gulamo go?!"

"I...I don't know clan brother...uh..."

Puap flashed fiercely and waved the sharp blade again. Then, he wiped his face with his cuff, licked the corner of his mouth, and grabbed another elderly clansman.

"Speak! Where did Gulamo go?!"

"I... he, he is Gulamo's son, he knows."

"Ok."

Puap nodded. He took back the dagger with a sneer, then suddenly sent it forward, stirred it hard, and pulled it again!

"what!..."

The old man's chest was bleeding, and he fell to the ground. Then, Puap strode forward and grabbed the young nobleman who was identified. He put the **** dagger against the opponent's cheek.

"Speak! Where did Gulamo go?!"

"Ah! Father... Father came back not long ago and hurriedly took away a few older brothers, and then, he went, went..."

The young nobleman's legs were weak, and he slumped on the ground, his nose and tears streaming down. Gulamo didn't even enter the manor, but hurriedly took away the people who had been waiting. And he was hanging out with his father's dance girl at the time, and he got the news a little later, and passed the only chance of life.

"Where did you go?!"

"Go to the lake to the south... ah!"

Puapu pulled out his dagger neatly and angrily said to the guard.

"Split two hundred warriors and search on the lake to the south! Try to find some boats!"

"Yes, deputy commander!"

The personal guard bowed his head, and led the way. General Ash soil doesn't like being called battalion commander, and prefers the title of deputy commander. Of course, the current title is just shouting in the camp.

Ash Earth Puapu stood where he was, looking around the hall with red eyes. The four walls of the hall are depicted with naked goddesses and graceful dancing girls. At this time, the goddess was stained with bright red, and the dancing girl stepped on the corpse, showing a coquettish beauty. His eyes swept across the crowd frantically, and his eyes stopped on Gulamo's concubines.

After a few breaths, he made a choice, strode directly, pulled up a tied soft woman, and dragged it to the side hall next to him. After a while, a deep gasp sounded, accompanied by a woman's charming voice. The voice was quick and rapid, and then became high-pitched. In the side hall, there was a hysterical roar of a man, followed by a woman's scream, and all the voices stopped at the same time.

Puap walked out of the side hall with fresh blood on his body, and his violent eyes finally calmed down. At this time, he had to admit that Gulamo, the sinister poisonous snake, had escaped from the snare.

"Secret letter... secret letter... where is the secret letter?!"

Puap held his last fluke and whispered to himself. Afterwards, his eyes turned cold, he replaced the worn obsidian dagger, and walked towards the purple grass clan again.

The setting sun fell into the sky, darkness enveloped the earth, covering the endless blood. The samurai who went to South Lake to search have not returned, and Sky Horta has already arrived first.

"How about it!"

Horta looked anxious and asked irritably.

"He escaped. The letter was not found."

Puap lowered his eyes and shook his head. Then he asked eagerly.

"How is the city?"

"The city was broken. The legion circled to the east gate, and the defenders there immediately disintegrated. Then, the warriors directly climbed the wall and entered. The rebels in the city resisted for a while, and then they surrendered. Now, the four gates in the city have been closed. Blocked, the rebels in the brigade may die or fall, and there are only a few stragglers left, and they can't escape..."

Horta answered confidently. He did not mention the leader of the Golden Armor who died in the North Gate, because as expected, it was just a stand-in.

"Where's General Etalek?"

"He's intact, with five hundred Mexica warriors."

Speaking of this, Horta's face was a little indignant.

"The old guy Etaliq! We traveled hundreds of miles to save him day and night. He actually sat high on the pyramid temple, and let me go to see him alone!"

"Oh? To meet alone?"

Puap raised his brows and asked rhetorically.

"You went alone?"

"...I went. With a dozen guards, he didn't dare to say anything!"

Horta's eyes flashed, and she turned her head slightly, staggering Puap's eyes.

"If it weren't for the fact that he was highly qualified and came from a family samurai of His Royal Highness..."

Ash Earth Puap was silent. Bringing more than a dozen personal guards is basically no different from going alone. He thought about it and asked again.

"What did the old general say?"

"The old guy asked me to divide the army to suppress the chaos in the city, and then control the streets and prohibit the passage of civilians. I left 1,500 people to calm the chaos in the city, and came directly with 500 guards."

"Five hundred Mexica warriors still on the temple pyramid?"

"I was there when I left."

"Ok."

Puap nodded silently. It seems that General Etalik also has suspicions about them. Gulamo's assassination this time put the generals from Prepecha in an embarrassing situation. He and Horta have contacted Guramo many times again, which is embarrassment in embarrassment, even in danger.

"Damn it! Orta, I was miserable by you!"

Thinking of this, Puap cursed in a low voice.

"The secret letter may have been taken away by Gulamo!"

"what!"

Horta looked nervous, and subconsciously held the short dagger around his waist.

The two were annoyed when suddenly a personal guard came from the hall and replied.

"Deputy head, we tortured Gulamo's trusted servant, he said, Gulamo has a secret room!"

"Ok?"

"go!"

Hearing this, their eyes lit up. They shouted almost simultaneously.

"Lead the way ahead!"

Everyone held torches and followed the trembling servants to the family warehouse behind the main hall. The warehouse has many rooms, one of which is full of unknown herbs and jars. The servant went to the innermost part of the room, pushed aside a wooden table,

"grown ups,

Alter sneered, the so-called "secret room" hardly had any secret measures, it was just a shady cellar. He directly lifted the wooden board, and a pungent herbal smell mixed with a strong **** smell came to his nostrils.

Puap's expression froze, holding the long dagger at his waist. He signaled to the guards on the left and right, and the guards held torches and walked carefully into the cellar. Then, a low exclamation came from the front.

"what!"

"This is?"

"Lord God!..."

Puap waited patiently until a personal guard returned.

"Deputy Corps Commander, there is no danger ahead, just a strange... earth wall?"

"Ok?"

Puap looked at Horta and stepped into the cellar first. The cellar is not deep, cool and dry, and the more you go inside, the stronger the **** smell, which makes people dizzy. But after a while, the group walked into the deepest part, and a vast basement appeared in front of them.

"...Gulamo, this disgusting poisonous snake! The warriors collected the heads of powerful warriors and built the wall of skeletons to show their military exploits! It's disgusting that he collects so many women's heads and uses herbs to preserve them. coward!"

Puapu let out a disdainful "Bah". Horta shuddered.

In front of everyone, there was an earthen wall seven or eight meters long and two meters high. In the earth wall is a hole the size of a human head. In the hole, the heads of young women are neatly stored. They were all treated with antiseptic herbs, most had long hair, and their skin was dry and pale, with vaguely recognizable expressions. Some panic, some fear, some despair, some relief, and some smiling.

At this moment, there are hundreds of heads on the entire wall, all of them staring blankly at everyone. On the wall beside the head, there are detailed graphic text labels, which seem to be evaluations of the collection.

If Shilot stood here and inspected it carefully, he would be able to identify a dry head in the middle. She had a relieved smile on her face, and her eyebrows and eyes were similar to Medina's. On the label next to her, there is a sad smile.

Historically, such underground or semi-underground structures are called skeleton walls, a practice that has been passed down since Teotihuacan times and was usually built beneath ancient temples. The skeleton itself records the deeds of the builder and also symbolizes the sacrifice to the gods. This worship of death is deeply rooted in the hearts of all Central American tribes, just like the Day of the Dead in later generations.

"Bah, what a waste of time!"

Puap looked at it for a moment and determined that this was just a simple skeleton room. He grabbed the servant on the ground angrily and swung the long dagger vigorously, and there was a fresh blood red in the hiding room.

Everyone came out of the cellar and returned to the manor again. After being busy for a while, the samurai who went to the lake to search have returned. They didn't find the boat, they didn't find anyone, and they returned without success.

"Puapu, what should I do now? Do you want to continue the interrogation?"

Horta looked worried, vaguely frightened.

"Continue the interrogation? The Guard Corps is on its way south, we don't have time!"

Speaking of this, Puap's eyes turned cold, and he had killing intent in his chest.

"Your Majesty said that we want to sacrifice the Lithospermum family! Then, we will kill all the people of the Purple Grass family, and then set fire to the entire manor to ashes! Anyway, the entire Purple Grass family is not clean. It's all the rotten wood of the kingdom... If the secret letter is still in the manor, it will be a hundred."

"Ah? If the secret letter is still in Gulamo's hands, wouldn't we be blackmailed by him?"

"Well... the only way now is to confess to His Majesty!"

Puap frowned and pondered for a moment. He remembered what the old militiaman had said after drinking, and finally spoke up.

"If you can't find the letters, there's only a confession! There's nothing in those letters, just...just hypotheses that won't happen."

"Old Man Qi said that there is no stone-like loyalty in the world, but a tree-like loyalty. As long as your majesty reigns in the world, the tree will live. Every branch, every leaf, is loyal! If you want him to die, he will die. And if His Majesty does not return from the northern expedition, the tree will die. Loyalty will rot, and the wood will also rot. At that time, let alone us, even the most loyal Ezpan will be Choose the Rebel Alliance!..."

"Your Majesty has been enlightened by God and is a king who can see far away. We are useful to Your Majesty. As long as we sincerely confess our sins, even if we receive some punishment, there is still a chance!"

Horta thought for a moment, then nodded helplessly.

"It can only be so! Hey!"

The two of them sighed, gave a few words to their guards, and stopped talking. Soon, the dying cry hurriedly sounded, and suddenly subsided. The Prepecha warriors simply looted some belongings and set fire to the stone and wooden houses.

The wind helped the fire, but within two quarters of an hour, the vast Lithospermum Manor fell into a sea of ​​raging flames! Trees are burning, flowers are burning, buildings are burning, corpses are burning.

The Glory family that has been passed down for more than two hundred years is destroyed! All past glory, all past sins, were reduced to ashes in the fire~www.readwn.com~ and then scattered in the wind. Outside the manor, the tall comfrey rags were lit by the fire, burning from the bottom to the top, like a row of torches more than 20 meters high, shining in the gloomy night.

"Puapu! Horta!..."

Lake Atojak reflects the distant firelight. Gulamo stood on a canoe, surrounded by a few people. His heart was extremely painful, his face was hideous like a snake, and the tears of regret fell, and turned into the venom of hatred, deeply buried in his heart. After a while, he wiped away his tears and whispered to the people around him.

"Why are you crying?! As long as we are here, the family is here. Let's go!"

"Father, where are we going?"

A young nobleman trembled and asked in a low voice.

Gulamo did not speak. He put his hand deep into his arms and carefully took out a jade talisman. This was left by a distant guest during the king's northern expedition. He thought it would be useless at all, but he never thought that this was his last retreat... I don't know what fate awaits him.

"Row, go to the East!"

Gulamo glanced at the mysterious symbol on the jade talisman and said coldly. Then, he squeezed the jade talisman tightly, turned his hands behind his back, finally glanced at the burning manor, and left by boat. The front of the jade talisman is engraved with a hummingbird in the sun, and the back of the jade talisman is actually a small square Chinese character, "secret".

The night is vast, and the fire is shining. At the same time, the veteran Etaliq was standing south of the Great Temple, which was the last battlefield where the comfrey warriors died in battle. He frowned, looking at the fallen corpse in front of him, pondering.

There was a smile on the face of the corpse, next to the stripped copper armor, and above the copper armor, there was a blood-stained leather bag. This leather bag was found in the bronze armor of the deceased, and the inside was well preserved. After a little inspection, it was...two sealed letters!
