Everything that followed was just like what everyone saw in the tomb.
Everyone in the general's mansion was wiped out, but the mouths of all those who truly knew about it were also sealed.
Now it seems that the corpses hidden in the large number of coffins, as well as the coffins themselves, are evidence of the general's guilt.
It is a pity that these criminal evidences were sent away and buried under the eyes of others.
I have to say that this plan is ruthless and decisive enough.
Not many people can make such a bet with their own lives. Whether it is courage or strategy, it will amaze those who come after you.
However, judging from the meaning of these conversations in the darkness, it seems that the General Mansion is still planning to hide its power and bide its time before starting another uprising.
However, judging from the degree of decay of the fine iron in the tomb, no one has opened the place since then, and no one has used the fine iron to cast weapons.
In other words, their subsequent plans still failed.
Liu Ruyan said: "Wei Ping said that Madam once helped the Tianzun Society conduct an experiment. If this experiment is the so-called sacrifice, and the lives of these people are not simply killed, but sacrificed to Qi Ziyu..."
Xiao Zhang also reacted immediately. He received: "In other words, Qi Ziyu is General Qi's back-up man! He left his long life, army, and weapons to Qi Ziyu, but his wife made Qi Ziyu forget this hatred, making him confused.
He has lived till now and has not taken any action.”
Considering the words Qi Ziyu muttered before his death, it is not difficult to find out the truth of the matter.
The hard thing is to understand that the entire plan was clearly proposed by Madam, so why would she let Qi Ziyu forget about it and block her plan with her own hands?
Moreover, what is Qi Ziyu's identity that makes the general and his wife willing to bet so many lives on him?
While everyone was thinking, a flash of fire suddenly lit up not far away!
"Remember the direction of the fire before you can return to the human world. Follow the direction of the fire!" Liu Ruyan said.
Originally, she thought that Fire Li was the expression of the Li hexagram in the Book of Changes, but she didn't expect it to be a concrete fire.
The firelight reflected the road under everyone's feet, like a stone brick road covered with white snow. I bent down and touched it, and the coldness of the stone bricks spread to the bottom of my heart along my fingertips.
But neither the temperature of the fire nor the body temperature of the people could melt the snow even half.
I'm afraid, this is the frontier snow that remains in memory, and cannot be melted by the temperature of those who come after us.
As the group of people walked, a voice sounded in their ears again.
The general seemed a little angry and said: "When did you bring him back? I told you before that I would not admit the existence of such a thing!"
"So I didn't know you, I just arranged for him to be an ordinary servant in the mansion." There was an indescribable emotion in the lady's faint voice.
The lady continued: "If it weren't for the urgency, I would hide his identity from you for the rest of my life."
"Do you blame me for hiding it, or do you feel sad when you think of the injuries he suffered?"
The general was silent for a long time and then said: "I know that nothing can be hidden from your eyes. But I don't want to betray the oath we made."
"Is the love between father and son considered betrayal? Even monsters treat their own children with love and affection." The lady chuckled, seeming to be very satisfied with the general's answer.
"Since you know that nothing can be hidden from my eyes, I naturally know the origin of this illegitimate child. You were drugged, concealed, and kept in the dark. You didn't even know of his existence in the first place. How can this be considered true?
Your fault?"
"I also sneer at that woman's methods. But children are innocent after all. Since I am destined to be unable to conceive your child, it would be good to have him."
"This child looks a little dull, but his mind is pure. He has not inherited his mother's scheming. Instead, I can see you in your youth."
The general listened to his wife's words, finally sighed and said nothing more.
He cherished the acquaintance, encounter and companionship with his wife, so he was always reluctant to admit the accident and the existence of this illegitimate child.
Over the years, the general has never even explored the child's appearance or name, nor does he know why his biological mother abandoned him and turned him into an orphan picked up by the general's mansion.
"Human nature is really unpredictable. There are mothers who become great because of their children, but there are also mothers who treat their children as things to be used. When they see that they cannot achieve their goals, they throw them aside like discarded objects..." The lady's voice was already calm and ethereal.
"Yes, human nature is unpredictable." The general's tone was very complicated. "When I was young, I never expected that I would become like this."
Perhaps the general once had a temper that he couldn't help but warm up when someone saw him being cold, but now, he has become a murderous demon without batting an eyelid.
Whether it's the enemies on the battlefield, the people and workers he takes advantage of, or innocent insiders... his hands have been stained with too much blood.
"It's not your fault," the lady seemed to have taken a cloak and put it on the general's shoulders, "I walked with you all the way. I know your suffering and your pain. What you want is just the stability and happiness of ordinary people.
, what’s wrong?”
"The fault is that in this world, you cannot find another way to achieve small happiness."
If food, clothing, stability and happiness are guaranteed, how can a society be in turmoil?
For people who have raised the flag of rebellion since ancient times, are they more rebellious in their temperament, or are they more forced by life?
The general seemed to be cuddling up to his wife: "You are the only one who can speak. I'm afraid that someday I am really wrong, and you can find another way to comfort me."
The lady responded without hesitation: "Yes. If you are really wrong, I will make the mistake with you. No matter what you look like or what character you become, I will only be with you in this life."
The general seemed to smile bitterly: "Your life is so heavy that I can't bear it."
"You have to endure it!" Madam's usual elegant tone had a rare hint of coquettishness.
Perhaps it was because they knew there was no future that the two of them talked freely about their fantasies about the future.
Soon, the sound of biting wind sounded in my ears again.
Screams, cries of pain, the sound of fire burning and cracking, and the sound of swords penetrating flesh and blood all sounded together.
It sounded like Zhou Sheng and the others had arrived at a messy battlefield.
Moreover, the battle situation was still a one-sided massacre.
If Zhou Sheng's prediction was correct, the corpses buried in this tomb were far more than what they found.
I am afraid that even the workers who smelted the iron and the common people who knew about it have been killed and their bones buried here.
Of course, there are more than these iron coffins in the tomb. Judging from the underground area alone, there are probably many undiscovered tombs containing coffins or military figurines and statues made of fine iron.
Perhaps, to be precise, this is not a tomb for corpses, but a tomb for burying the truth.
