Sima Yu led two thousand soldiers and followed the old scout across Tantian Cliff. It was already getting dark.

In order to prevent wild beasts from sneaking up on him at night and to find Nalanxue more easily, he picked up many dry branches nearby and brought them back, tied them into a simple torch, and dipped them in pine oil for later use.

Just as the old scout said, after passing Tantian Cliff, the road becomes smoother, and the rocks are not as crisp as before. It saves a lot of effort when walking. However, it is getting dark, so you need to pay attention to your steps.

To avoid stepping on venomous snakes and causing unnecessary trouble, you still cannot speed up your journey.

We walked along the nearest road that could go down the mountain in a zigzag pattern, and walked for about two hours. It was almost midnight before we reached the valley at the bottom of the mountain. The moon was high in the sky, and the howling of wolves that had not been there before began to appear.

It rang out soundlessly.

There are many wild beasts in the mountains, such as tigers and leopards. Although they are scary, they are far less than one ten thousandth of the wolves. With Sima Yu's martial arts skills and the many soldiers on his side, he is not afraid of wolves attacking.

They are, however, afraid that Nalan Xue will become the target of the wolves. If she dies, there is still an ancestral "elixir" that he left with Sima Ying to save her, but if she is shattered into pieces

, there are even no bones left, not to mention the magical medicine, even if the Daluo God comes in person, I am afraid that it will not be able to save him!

"Everyone, swords and swords unsheathed!"

As Sima Yu spoke, he pulled out his sword, raised the torch with his other hand, looked into the distance, then turned to the old scout who was leading the way and ordered, "Lead the way. Let's go to that cliff."

Check right below!"

锵锵锵一一

After listening to Sima Yu's instructions, the soldiers following behind pulled out their weapons one after another and held them in their hands, waiting for his next order. Nalan Xue is the benefactor of the entire Linshui City. These soldiers have

Most of them are from Linshui City, so they naturally hope to find her quickly and protect her from harm!

"If I remember correctly, there should be a quite shallow pool right under the cliff. If someone falls from the top and doesn't struggle, they will fall into that pool.

If you know how to drink water, you may be able to save your life, but there is no way of knowing.”

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, after analyzing the terrain for a while, the old scout came to a conclusion that made Sima Yu extremely happy. He lowered his head and glanced at Si Nan in his hand. He stretched out his hand, pointed into the darkness directly in front of him, and followed

He reported, "It's just ahead. Go quickly and you'll be there with just two cups of tea!"

"Then what are you waiting for! Lead the way!"

Hearing what the old scout said, Sima Yu suddenly opened his eyes with excitement. He hurriedly pulled his sleeves and took him forward quickly. According to the legend, it is very likely that Nalan Xue will fall off the cliff.

Searching next to the deep pool of immortality, I suddenly heard a long wolf howl coming from that direction, as if it was very close at hand!

"Wolves drink water! Not good!"

The old scout used to be a herb gatherer in the mountains, so he naturally knew the habits of wild animals in the mountains. At this time, when he heard the long howl of wild wolves in the distance, he yelled something bad, raised the torch in his hand, and lifted the hem of his clothes.

, and started to run towards the water pool, "Follow me! Prepare the battle formation!"

When more than two thousand people ran as fast as possible to reach the water pool, they saw a scene that no one expected to see!

Dozens of wolves dragged and bitten a woman's body into seven or eight pieces. Each of them formed a small circle around their own part. They were eating deliciously when they saw the fire coming.

Looking up, the hair around his mouth was still stained with dark red blood... Under the light of the torch, Sima Yu could clearly see that the torn clothes and fabrics on the ground were... the ones he had seen the day before.

What Lan Xue was wearing when she was kidnapped!

"Snow!"

Sima Yu's wail resounded throughout the valley, causing the wolves to retreat instinctively.

Immediately afterwards, he rushed forward with his sword like crazy, and started slashing at the wild wolves with all his strength!

His Cher!

How dare they eat his snow!

How could they, how could they be eaten, his Xueer could have been saved!

Seeing that Sima Yu didn't care about anything and rushed forward to kill the wolves, all the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they understood what this meant!

Anger suddenly rose in his heart, and he also rushed forward, each doing his best to attack the wolves!

Howls of people, howls of wolves, the sound of weapons piercing the air, and the despair of broken bones. It was as if a big show was going on in the originally silent valley, which frightened many wild beasts who had originally planned to come to the waterhole to drink, and retracted into their own territory.

He hid his breath and traces in the treetops and grass to prevent himself from being killed.

More than two thousand people faced dozens of wild wolves. The overwhelming massacre without any surprise lasted for more than an hour. It wasn't that they couldn't be killed, but... they didn't want to kill them easily, without breaking their bones or tendons, or cutting them into pieces.

Meat, you can't help but feel resentful!

"Xue'er..."

In the bright red ground covered with wolf blood, Sima Yu cried and knelt down on the ground, and began to crawl while collecting the scattered corpses that had been bitten and dragged. As the saying goes, a man will not shed tears easily...

But I don’t know that it’s not that men don’t know how to cry, it’s that... they haven’t reached the point of being sad!

As Sima Yu cried, more than two thousand soldiers also wiped away their tears. Nalan Xue, their benefactor, protected their parents, brothers and sisters from becoming slaves of other countries. He led troops to fight against the Italian country and did not let them surrender.

Their great benefactor, whose homeland was devastated by war, finally... didn't give them a chance to repay their kindness, and just like that... became the prey of wild wolves!

How can they explain to their families when they return home? How can they have the dignity to meet the elders in the city?

The torches were dim, so it was easy to find large items, but it was not so easy to collect all the corpses and clothes that had been torn into pieces by wild wolves.

After searching for half a night and waiting until dawn, Sima Yu gathered together all the remains of the corpses within sight, took off his dragon robe, and carefully wrapped them up.

"Xue'er, let's go back to Zhaoyang City. Everything has passed. It's okay."

Sima Yu, the supreme emperor, didn't mind at all that these dirty broken bones and pieces of flesh soiled his clothes. It was as if what he was holding in his arms was not flesh and blood, but his beloved one who fell asleep.

, "When you get back, I'll have someone dress you up nicely, and we...get married..."

…

It was already past noon when Sima Yu returned to Linshui City with more than 2,000 soldiers.

The eight thousand soldiers who had been ordered by him to return quickly had already captured the hundreds of bandits who had followed Sima Shang's orders and ran to the city to burn, kill and loot. They had not yet had time to escape. At this time, they had been tied up with ropes.

, tied to the newly erected pillar at the city gate, looking around, it was completely dark.

Seeing that Sima Yu was not wearing the dragon robe, he wrapped a large bag of things in the dragon robe and carried it back in despair. The head of the secret guard was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what was wrapped in the dragon robe!

"Your Majesty, the bandits who came to Linshui City to plunder are all here. Not one of them is missing."

The leader of the secret guard walked quickly in front of Sima Yu, knelt down on one knee, and reported to him the battle situation in the city. He did not dare to look at what he was holding in his arms, for fear that if he looked at it, he would show some inappropriate expression and offend him.

He was unhappy, "A total of 673 people were captured alive!"

Hearing the secret guard leader reporting to him, Sima Yu seemed to regain his composure. He raised his head and glanced at him with dull eyes. Then, he frowned slightly and looked around at the people who were tied to the wooden pillars and covered with cloth.

The bandits, who had gagged their mouths to prevent them from biting their tongues and committing suicide, looked at him again, "Who taught you to be so unruly? You only want to report to me, and you don't even need to greet my queen?"

"The humble minister was reckless and did not know that the queen was coming. He was very rude. Please forgive me for your Majesty and the queen!"

After hearing what Sima Yu said, how could a shrewd person like the leader of the secret guard not know what to do? He hurriedly knelt down on his knees and looked at the "dragon robe package" that Sima Yu held in his arms.

According to the rules of Mo country, it is the most respectful gift!

"Xue'er is a generous woman. I won't argue with you anymore. Just get up."

The secret guard leader's "understanding of etiquette" made Sima Yu feel a little better. He stretched out his hand and gently patted the "dragon robe package" held in his arms, as if someone was really following him.

He spoke normally, "Let me prepare the carriage. I want to take Xue'er back to Zhaoyang City. I will have her dress up nicely and choose an auspicious day for the wedding."

"I obey your Majesty's instructions."

The leader of the secret guard knew that at this time, the only thing he could do was to obey Sima Yu's instructions and coax him back to Zhaoyang City first, and then think of ways to find suitable people to persuade him and let him slow down.

Slowly come out of the shadow of "Nalan Xue is dead" and return to normal.

Sima Yu continued to hold his "dragon robe package" and walked towards Linshui City, passing by the bandits who were tied with ropes. When he was about to reach the city gate, he suddenly stopped, turned his head, and revealed his eyes.

He looked at them with a fierce look, his blood-stained lips were slightly opened, and he said something that made everyone present feel horrified!

"I heard that by cutting a small opening in a person's scalp and pouring mercury into it, a complete human skin can be peeled off. Xue'er, do you want to see it? Well! I knew you would definitely want to see it.

! Then this matter is settled! Peel them all, and then soak them with salt. Don’t let them die. When new skins grow, peel them off again, soak them again, and then..."

Having said this, Sima Yu paused for a moment, lowered his head, and put his left ear against his "dragon robe package", as if listening to the words of "Nalan Xue" who had become broken into pieces of flesh and bones, "Okay,

It's all up to you, up to you! Put all the peeled skins in the sun to dry, and then sew them up and use them as diapers for our precious son!" (To be continued. If you like this work
