C308 Necrotic Field
Gui Yang City.
There were many city guards standing on top of the city gate. They had long seen the caravan being escorted by Zhenyuan Escort Agency and once the caravan and the escort team entered the city, the city gate would be tightly shut.
The caravan entered the city and slowed down. Yi Shenghai jumped off the horse and carried Du Yijun onto a luxurious carriage.
That carriage was used for Du Yijun's rest. This time, it wasn't just a simple escort, they also had to return to the capital. Thus, they brought a young maid with them.
The maidservant was still young, two years younger than Du Yijun, and had yet to break through to the Warrior Realm. Du Yijun was afraid that her body wouldn't be able to bear it, so she arranged for her to sit in the carriage.
When the maidservant saw that Du Yijun was unconscious, she asked worriedly, "Helmsman Yi, what happened to Miss?"
"I'm fine." As he spoke, Yi Shenghai pressed down on the Lili.
Du Yijun slowly opened her eyes, looked at Yi Shenghai and asked, "Where are we? "Where's Young Hero Gao?"
Yi Shenghai said evasively, "We have entered Gui Yang City. Eldest Miss, we are safe."
Du Yijun saw that his answer was out of line, her face darkened as she questioned him harshly, "Uncle Yi, let me ask you, where's Young Hero Gao?"
Rumble …
Just as Yi Shenghai was hesitating, a burst of thunderclaps sounded out.
Yi Shenghai suddenly came to his senses. He looked at the servant girl and ordered: "Xiao Qing, take good care of the big miss. I'll go take a look."
Yi Shenghai opened the car door, pushed aside the curtain and got off the carriage. He was completely confused as he looked at the rolling dark clouds above his head.
As soon as Yi Shenghai got off the carriage, Du Yijun rushed out. Xiaoqing couldn't even pull her down, so she had no choice but to follow her out of the carriage …
Du Yijun rushed to the city gates and looked at the tightly shut city gates. Turning to the city guards, she ordered, "Quickly open the city gates, I want to leave."
A young armored general respectfully said to Du Yijun: "Miss Du, the enemy has come from outside the city. The gate of the city can't be opened so we have to be responsible for the safety of the civilians."
Du Yijun saw that the man's words made sense, so she said gently, "General, my friend is still outside the city, so I won't make things difficult for you. You just have to open the gates and let me out."
The young general looked at Yi Shenghai. Yi Shenghai signaled to Xiaoqing with his eyes. Xiaoqing, under the pressure of Yi Shenghai, walked towards Du Yijun and advised, "Miss …"
"Xiaoqing, don't try to persuade me. It's not like you don't know what I'm thinking!"
Xiaoqing was interrupted by Du Yijun the moment she said those two words, so she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
Ever since she had participated in Shangguan Bingqing's Groom Search Competition, Du Yijun had become sentimental. Xiaoqing originally thought that Du Yijun was longing for someone else's engagement, but she was only half right. What she didn't expect was that Du Yijun actually fell in love with Shangguan Bingqing's fiancé at first sight.
At that time, Xiaoqing thought it was fun, but she still unconditionally supported Du Yijun. Seeing that she didn't mention Gao Feng again, Xiaoqing thought that she had forgotten about him, but she didn't expect that he was still so deep in love.
As a maid, it wasn't good to say anything about this.
Seeing that the young general was indifferent, Du Yijun suddenly summoned her sword and pointed it at his chest, threatening, "Do you want to open the door? If you don't, I'll kill you."
"Little Commandery Princess, can you not be so impulsive?"
Just as the young general was in a dilemma, a loud and clear voice was heard. Following that, a middle-aged general in armor appeared in front of everyone, with several Expert of Martial King Stage following behind him.
Du Yijun looked at the leader of the group and said excitedly, "Mayor Liu, you have come at the right time. Quickly open the door, I am going out to save my friend."
"It's already too late." The middle-aged general sighed, "Little Commandery Princess, don't you smell the blood in the air?"
Upon hearing these words, Du Yijun calmed down and sniffed with her nose. Her beautiful face instantly lost its color and was covered in tears. She could smell the thick scent of blood in the air.
They were about twenty miles from the scene of the accident, and they could still smell the strong scent of blood. From this, it could be seen how intense the war was.0
The middle-aged general called out, "Little Commandery Princess, come with me to the city gate tower to take a look at the situation."
Du Yijun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and followed the middle-aged general up the city walls, followed by the rest of the people.
Dark clouds rolled in front of him, and thunder rumbled. Du Yijun couldn't help but feel nauseous as a gale blew past and the smell of blood became even stronger.
"This is truly a natural disaster. I'm afraid that everyone will have their remains destroyed."
Many people could not help but let out a sigh, while Du Yijun burst into tears and sobbed silently.
Rumble rumble rumble!
After about an hour, the dark clouds dissipated, revealing the setting sun. The surroundings immediately became quiet, as if the thunder never appeared, but the smell of blood in the air told everyone what kind of shocking incident just occurred.
After confirming that there was no longer any more danger, the middle-aged general ordered the city guards to open the city gate. Then, a group of people rushed out of the city gate toward the scene of the accident.
On the open ground, corpses were strewn about. Blood was flowing like rivers, and it was an extremely tragic sight. Even though they were experienced and knowledgeable, their faces were pale and filled with shock.
"Young Hero Gao …"
As soon as Du Yijun arrived at the scene, she jumped off the horse. Without caring about the blood on the grass, she called Gao Feng's name while looking at the corpse in search of Gao Feng. Xiaoqing also quickly followed, searching with Du Yijun.
The middle-aged general advised, "Little Commandery Princess, don't bother looking for him. I heard from Branch Lord Yi that your friend only had Martial Master Stage.
Du Yijun's heart burned with anxiety as she said hysterically, "I don't believe that he would die so easily under the blessing of the heavens' law."
Yi Shenghai also advised: "Miss, that wasn't a man-made disaster, it was divine retribution. Even if he was protected by the heavens, he wouldn't be able to escape the divine retribution..."
Du Yijun stubbornly said, "I don't care if it's a divine punishment or not, if he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse."
Du Yijun seemed to have lost her mind. She kept looking at the corpses at her feet, seemingly filled with endless energy.
The middle-aged general had no choice but to order his men to search for her.
Gao Feng's wanted poster was posted all over the streets and alleys of Guiyang City. Many people were familiar with Gao Feng. They jumped off their horses and started to look for him.
Yi Shenghai said to the middle-aged general, "Mayor Liu, doing this won't help. He changed his appearance."
The middle-aged general was stunned for a moment before he said, "Turn the corpses over for Little Commandery Princess to identify."
There were corpses everywhere, at least thousands of them. It would take a long time for one to identify them, and now that the sun was setting, what was to be done?
The middle-aged general pondered for a moment and suddenly felt his eyes brighten as he said, "Helmsman Yi, I heard that the owner of the Gui Yang Division is her elder brother. We have a good relationship. Should we let him advise her?"
"How could I have forgotten about that?" Yi Shenghai smacked his forehead. Just as he was about to instruct the people around him, he noticed a handsome horse galloping towards him in the misty twilight.
Speak of the devil, the devil is here.
