Chapter 69: Tomb of Bones

On this day, it suddenly started raining heavily in Dingxiang, and the rain was mixed with heat waves.

The heat for more than two consecutive months was finally relieved, and a group of children on the street cheered and jumped in the mud puddle.

Xi Yunfei stood on the city tower and looked at the construction site not far away. Although there was a sudden thunderstorm, the workers' hoes and rakes did not stop. Instead, they were driven away by the heat and worked harder.

"Go and let everyone stop and rest. Working on rainy days is likely to cause illness, so there is no need to work so hard."

"Haha, the husband is joking. It's not that I squeezed them, but that they don't want to stop work."

"Why is this?"

"The rule of our Chamber of Commerce is to complete tasks on time and on time, with quality and quantity. If it is completed in advance, there will be corresponding additional rewards. After hearing about this, all of these people focused on the rewards. Even when they finish work at night, there are still people starting work."

Cui Peisheng shrugged. As the manager of the Chamber of Commerce, the people under him work so actively, but he heard that he had a good face and had a bit of a sense of seeking credit when he spoke.

Xi Yunfei glared at him angrily and advised: "It is a good thing to work hard, but you should also pay more attention to your health. If you turn around, ask the cook to cook some ginger soup and then make some herbs to drive away the cold, don't have any trouble."

Cui Peisheng was stunned when he heard this, and then bowed to Xi Yunfei in admiration: "My husband is kind and righteous, I will leave this matter to me and I will do it properly."

"Well, go, you should pay more attention to rest yourself. Look at your dark circles, those who don't know will think you are going to the brothel hall every day."

"Haha, let your husband laugh." Cui Peisheng bowed and retreated.

Not far away, several people who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly came up to meet him.

"Mr." These people bowed to Xi Yunfei.

Xi Yunfei carried his hands on his back, nodded slightly, and asked, "But what trouble can't be solved?"

"No, there is no trouble." The leader shook his head quickly.

"What's that?"

Xi Yunfei looked puzzled. These people were originally rich families in Dingxiang City and had contracted many projects in the Chamber of Commerce. When they heard that they had something to ask for a meeting, Xi Yunfei asked them to wait aside.

The man in the leader bowed and clasped his fists again, then waved his hand behind him. Several men dressed in entourage came one after another, holding a tray in his hands, which looked quite heavy.

"Langjun, these are some industries we are in Dingxiang, with a total value of nearly three million yuan. I would like to ask Langjun to give us a chance."

Xi Yunfei was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the people in front of him. Seeing that they looked urgent, he joked: "It seems that it is not a trivial matter for you to beg me for doing things like this. Tell me, what is your purpose."

"Cough cough..." The man in the lead coughed twice, clasped his fists and said, "The villain was guarding the Sishou, and his ancestors lived in Daxing City. When Yang Guang fought for Goguryeo three times, I went north with my father and provided logistics support for the army."

"Oh?" Xi Yunfei didn't expect that these people still had stories.

Yu Sishou showed his memories and said sadly: "It was just that the three campaigns of Goguryeo were all returned without success. The fathers also died in a foreign land at that time. We could only stay in Dingxiang, hoping that one day we could find the bones of our fathers, so that they could return to their roots."

"Mr., what I have been asking for in my life is nothing more than that. As long as I can invite my father's body back to my hometown, I will be willing to disperse my family's wealth."

"We heard that the husband was ready to go, pointing his sword at Goguryeo, and we couldn't help with the rest of the work. We could only do our best. We just hope that the husband could allow us to go north with the army and welcome the bones of our family."

Xi Yunfei frowned when he heard this, and the voices of these people were crying. When he talked about Goguryeo, he gritted his teeth, and when he talked about his family, he felt sad.

"But, so many years have passed, how can you find the bones? Maybe..."

Maybe they had been taken away by a wild dog. Could it be that the Goguryeo people would help your father collect the body?

Although she thought so in her heart, Xi Yunfei couldn't say it. It was too hurtful.

When Yu Sishou heard this, his eyes were bloodshot and he thrust at Xi Yunfei and knelt down directly.

He choked and said, "Your husband doesn't know anything. The hateful Goguryeo people built a bone tomb in Liaodong City with the bones of the people who died in the Great Sui Dynasty. It was said to be Jingguan, but my people have visited it. The people worshipped Goguryeo, and the materials used for construction are all human bones..."

"Is there such a thing?" Xi Yunfei frowned, and a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes.

"Not bad, and those bones are mixed with famous tokens from former Sui soldiers. If as expected, the warriors who died in Goguryeo then would be trampled and humiliated by them after their death. Let's wait, let's wait..."

As he spoke, Yu Sishou was furious and attacked his heart. A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he fainted as he rolled his eyes.

Seeing this, Xi Yunfei hurriedly called someone to take him to the clinic.

"I actually used the bones of martyrs to pave the road and build the walls. I didn't expect Goguryeo to be so crazy..."

Xi Yunfei stood on the city tower, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, his face gradually became gloomy.

It's night.

Four giants came slowly in the sky of Dingxiang.

Xi Yunfei and Li Yuan and his group were waiting outside the city early.

Looking at the four airships slowly descending in the sky, everyone was filled with excitement.

The high-speed rotating propeller slowly stopped. Fortunately, it rained heavily in the afternoon, otherwise it would have been dusty again at this moment.

With a click, the hatch door opened and a ladder was placed down.

Liu Qingtian looked at him, his eyes fixed directly on Xi Yunfei's body, and then he noticed Princess Yicheng not far away.

"I have met Mr. Wang, and the Supreme Emperor!" Liu Qingtian walked closer and bowed with fists.

Xi Yunfei nodded slightly, reached out to pat Liu Qingtian's shoulder, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It should be." Liu Qingtian clasped his fists again.

"Nothing happened on the road, right?"

"There was no surprise. It was just that the four captains were flying so far for the first time. Although Captain Zhuge informed the route in advance, he still took a little detour, which only took two days to delay."

"Well, this is normal. Just fly a few more times." Xi Yunfei said with a smile.

"By the way, Langjun, the captain has something to let me tell you."

Liu Qingtian glanced at Li Yuan next to him and signaled that he could only inform Xi Yunfei alone at this time.

Seeing this, Xi Yunfei walked a few steps away and said curiously: "What's so mysterious? My elder brother is back?"

Liu Qingtian nodded slightly: "The captain came back not long ago and said that everything went well over there, so you don't worry."

"That's good."

"One more thing."

"What else is there?"

"The captain asked me to tell Langjun that it is best to go back when you have time. If you have someone, you must meet him."

Xi Yunfei was stunned when he heard this: "Who?"

Liu Qingtian shook his head: "The captain didn't say it, he just told you to tell you about this matter as soon as possible."

"Since it's so urgent, why don't you use the walkie-talkie to tell me?" Xi Yunfei was puzzled.

Liu Qingtian glanced at Li Yuan and said in a deep voice: "It was the command of the captain, and I must tell you in person."

Xi Yunfei raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded, "Okay, I understand this, I will contact my elder brother when I look back."

"You have worked hard all the way, so go and rest early. I have asked someone to prepare a residence and food, and there are also guards here. Let's stop here. We will meet again tomorrow morning. I want to speed up the progress of Goguryeo."
