The airship landed in an open space not far from the military camp. At this time, a group of personal guards were already waiting here. Although no living beings would be spared from this Vulcan carnival, it was still better to be safe.
"Your Majesty, Duke Ning Guo and his bodyguards ahead have been captured by us."
As soon as Li Lin stepped off the airship, he heard a report from the guards. He handed the thick clothes he wore on the airship to the people behind him, and then followed the guards forward.
"Li Lin, you are a devil! You are not a human being!"
"Li Lin, I will kill you to avenge my brothers from the Northern Army!"
Those personal guards looked at Li Lin and their eyes were burning with anger, just like the fire last night gave them dazzling eyes.
These people were held down so hard by the guards that they could not move at all. Li Lin walked among them without any reaction at all.
I don’t know if he doesn’t care about the anger of these people at all, or if he feels a little guilty in his heart...
"My lord."
Li Lin walked straight to Ning Chuan and bowed politely.
"The Prince Regent is really generous. Our Northern Army was almost wiped out overnight..."
After all, Ning Guogong has a high WeChat account, and Li Lin had previously told him not to be too unreasonable to Ning Guogong, so now Ning Chuan is just sitting on the ground, surrounded by Li Lin's personal guards.
He looked at Li Lin approaching and looked at him respectfully, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Ning Guo Gong's soldiers are sharp, and I have no choice but to do so."
Li Lin's heart has long since calmed down, so he doesn't feel any uneasiness now. He can bear the burden of nearly 100,000 people.
"That's all...the way of war is like this."
Ning Guogong lowered his eyebrows and immediately sighed.
"Hey, can we keep statistics on casualties?"
"I have already ordered someone to do it, but the quantity is too large, and the bodies cannot be identified, so..."
Li Lin was speechless and couldn't go on. He knew how uncomfortable Ning Guogong was now. After all, he had brought these people out all by himself.
"Your Majesty, I know that I cannot escape responsibility for my crimes and I must answer the law. But these soldiers under me..."
Ning Guogong interrupted Li Lin before he finished speaking.
"I know what Duke Ning Guo wants, but I cannot completely follow Duke Ning Guo's wishes."
Li Lin saw Ning Guogong's dark eyes and continued.
"I, the King, can forgive the ordinary soldiers and low-level generals who died in this battle, but all high-level generals will be treated as treason and severely punished according to the law."
"Hahaha, that's reasonable." Ning Guogong heard that Li Lin had reached this point and that was his bottom line. Senior generals had complicated connections. If they were all let go, it would be a huge hidden danger for the court.
"And...you are the main culprit in this rebellion, I can only..."
"I understand. You don't need to say more. Just think that I have completed everything in accordance with our initial agreement."
"Then I have once again thanked Duke Ning Guo." He said, Li Linyou bowed deeply to Duke Ning Guo.
"The Prince Regent is so kind. If you want to ask anything, just say it."
"Your Majesty, please speak quickly. I will not beat around the bush anymore. What is the reason why you and the Prime Minister conspired to rebel?"
Li Lin is also a person who has traveled through time. He knows that asking some trivial things is meaningless, so he can directly ask the core questions first.
"It's really straightforward. We rebelled because we were coerced by others."
"who?"
"Grand Master Linzhi, I don't know his name or what he looks like. I only know his surname is Mo."
"Is this the only information?"
"Yes, we all want to treat our relatives. This disease can only be cured in Linzhi, so..."
"You are here for Ning Yun, what about the Prime Minister?"
"She did it for his wife."
Li Lin didn't say anything. He was not the kind of person who would talk about state affairs and let people sacrifice themselves for the sake of the overall situation.
"Is this medicine only available in Linzhi? Is it some kind of genius treasure?"
"I don't know... before when Master Mo came to treat Ning Yun, he didn't use medicine."
"Not medicine?"
Ning Chuan nodded and began to remember.
"They used a ritual, or a sacrifice, a human sacrifice."
Li Lin was shocked, this really made him feel incredible.
"They brought a young girl from Linzhi country and... bled her and cut her body into pieces."
"Then let my son eat it, and my son's illness will be cured."
Li Lin was stunned immediately. This method was too cruel.
"Can General Ning Yun also eat this?"
Ning Guogong's face twisted as he recalled the scene at that time. It was obvious that he felt very uncomfortable when he thought of this.
"I took my son to the underground darkroom. I didn't give him candlelight. I sent him in through the small hole every time, so Ning Yun didn't know about it."
Li Lin nodded and thought about the knowledge of later generations. Indeed, he had never heard of any examples of human flesh being used to treat diseases.
"At first Ning Yun would cry heartbreakingly, but Master Mo wouldn't allow us to see Ning Yun because it would affect the treatment. We just did it. When we were undergoing treatment later, Ning Yun would always say it smells good.
, It smells so good. This treatment process lasted for a month. Master Mo said it was cured, so we opened the darkroom, and Ning Yun walked out naturally. "
"Did he say anything after he came out?"
Ning Chuan shook his head.
"Ning Yun didn't say anything after he came out. He just asked us when we were having dinner that day if the meat we had before was very fragrant. We didn't explain it to him. We just said we would look for it next time and then tried to ask him.
He just said that he remembered that the meat was very fragrant, and then it disappeared."
"No more?" Li Lin was even more puzzled. This meant that Ning Yun had lost his memory and had forgotten the heartbreaking process?
"It feels a bit like the reaction of drugs." Li Lin thought to himself.
"Then how do you know Linzhiguo can cure this disease?"
"I went to Linzhi once, but that was when I was a child. I don't remember why I went there. After that, I traveled around in order to treat my son, visited several countries, and used dozens of prescriptions.
It had no effect. I heard someone said that Linzhi Country had a way to cure diseases, so I went there. It was also because of hearing this that I remembered that I had been to Linzhi Country when I was a child."
"Amnesia again?" Li Lin was seriously filled with doubts.
"Then who said that Lin Zhiguo can cure diseases?"
"I don't know. I heard someone talking about a valley in Linzhi during the visit. The doctors there were very skilled in treating many terminally ill people, so I asked about it."
"please continue."
"Then I went and searched for a long time in Linzhi Kingdom, and I did find such a place. It was a valley but it was also the royal mausoleum of Linzhi Kingdom, but it was called this burial place in Linzhi Kingdom."
"I saw piles of corpses there, with different forms of death. They just dumped them there without any burial. There were many big birds circling in the sky, and from time to time one would fly down to eat the corpses. They said this
yes……"
"Mass cemetery?" Li Lin said in surprise. This was very similar to some secret legends he had heard before, so he couldn't help but blurt it out.
