"At that time, we were besieged by the barbarians in Xiangcheng for half a month, and there was no reinforcement. Seeing that the food and grass were about to be exhausted, the general called us all together and said that we would fight for the last time."
"Before leaving, he gave each of us a bowl of wine. Unexpectedly, the wine was poisonous, and we were poisoned to death by the general without any reason!"
The little ghost felt extremely aggrieved, "What kind of ghost army does he want to build? He wants to fight again. He told us that we are going to die anyway, so why can't we let us die clearly?"
Shen Qingqing chuckled, "You think quite openly, but others may not think so. As long as one of the two thousand of you is unwilling to reveal the matter, you will lose this battle without having to fight, and
The messengers of the Lord will also be ruined and reviled by the people."
The kid was silent, because what Shen Qingqing said was true. Everyone was afraid of death. How many martyrs could die calmly to protect the people? Not to mention others, even it couldn't determine whether it could still maintain its sanity in the face of life and death.
"So, the general made the right choice, right?"
Poison everyone with a bowl of poisonous wine, and then turn them into monsters that are not afraid of pain and will not die. Only in this way can they defeat the enemy and win.
The kid murmured, as if he was asking Shen Qingqing, but also as if he was trying to convince himself. After speaking, he shed tears silently.
Shen Qingqing didn't answer and didn't know how to answer.
Perhaps General Chen was really, as recorded in history books, a good general who served the people wholeheartedly and was unyielding. He was forced to refine his soldiers into a ghost army, just to protect the peace of the country.
Maybe he was just greedy for life, afraid of death, and greedy for vanity. He used the flesh and blood of his subordinates to carve out a way of life for himself, and in exchange for the praise and admiration of all people.
All this became an eternal secret with his death.
But no matter what the truth is, those soldiers who died protecting Xiangcheng are worthy of respect!
Shen Qingqing bent down and pulled it up, "There is one last question. After I ask it, you can go to the underworld and be reincarnated. A meritorious kid like you should be able to be reborn well in the next life."
The kid wiped away his tears and nodded, "You ask."
"Is the hometown of General Chen you are talking about located in Xiangcheng?"
"yes."
"Okay, it's okay." Shen Qingqing threw up the folded soul-sending talisman and sent it into the underworld.
After the kid disappeared, Meng Yuan quietly walked up to her and asked, "You suddenly mentioned General Chen's hometown. Did you find anything?"
Shen Qingqing nodded, "Yes, the evil ghost who fought you last time and that General Chen should both come from the Chen family in Xiangcheng. I have an ominous premonition that the reason why the evil ghost came to Ningyang County is definitely not because of the kid.
It’s so easy to provoke.”
How could a national advisor who had reached the pinnacle of power and had been hiding under the skin of others for several years act rashly because of the instigation of a small gangster?
This reason is too far-fetched and too naive.
Meng Yuan frowned and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "So why did he go all the way?"
"I don't know. I'll do some math when I get back and see if I can find any clues." Shen Qingqing turned around and waved to Lin Ziyan and others, "Come here, everything has been dealt with."
Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Lin Ziyan's eyebrows knitted into knots. How should he explain to his superiors when so many dead people suddenly appeared?
"They are the famous ghost army of the Chen family in the Yin Dynasty. They were sealed here for some reason, and they suddenly broke through the seal for some reason. Lord Lin, just report the truth to the superiors."
Shen Qingqing saw through his worries at a glance, and continued after a simple explanation: "Leave a few people to guard these corpses, and the rest rush to rescue people as soon as possible. The situation over there is not optimistic."
Lin Ziyan no longer hesitated, and immediately divided into two groups of people according to Shen Qingqing's words. One group of people stayed at the same place, and the other group of people drove to the construction site to rescue people.
As expected by Shen Qingqing, most of the workers who failed to escape were killed, and those who were lucky enough to survive were seriously injured and dying. Several others were buried in collapsed graves, and it was impossible to tell for a while whether they were still alive.
Ning knelt down in front of the ruins and burst into tears. Qi Xingtang secretly wiped her tears beside her, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't bought this land and asked them to work on it, today's accident wouldn't have happened."
The rescue officers also had red eyes, looking at the ruins stained with blood from a distance, unable to say a word.
In the face of dozens of human lives, any words are pale and powerless.
Shen Qingqing pushed the messy hair behind her ears, strode through the crowd, and said coldly: "Stop crying. If you have time to cry, you might as well jump down and save more people."
After saying that, she stepped on the rocks and jumped into the tomb.
It has only been more than an hour since the tomb collapsed, and the buried people can still be saved. Now that the matter has come to this, if we can save one more person, we will naturally go all out!
With her taking the lead, others jumped in one after another. Those who had tools used tools to dig, and those without tools dug with bare hands. No one cried out in pain or tiredness. Everyone was working silently to rescue the workers buried in the rubble.
Shen Qingqing first tried to use the soul ruler to pick up the gravel, but later she felt that the ruler was not comfortable to use, so she started using it directly. The skin of her finger was soon broken, and the gravel was covered with blood and pierced into the flesh. She didn't seem to feel it.
When I felt the pain, I picked up the rocks even faster.
Meng Yuan looked at her bleeding fingers, his eyes darkened, and he pulled out the dagger from his waist and stuffed it into her hand without any explanation, "It doesn't matter if you go slower, I'll get your share back."
Shen Qingqing looked into his deep eyes and nodded silently.
In the end, all seven people who were buried were dug out. Except for one who had his head smashed and died unfortunately, the other six were still alive.
The moment the last person was lifted to the ground, everyone collapsed on the ground exhausted. Some people wiped their sweat and laughed, while others covered their faces and cried loudly.
Shen Qingqing leaned tiredly on Meng Yuan's shoulder and sighed heavily: "If I had known that such an accident would happen, I should have let them leave directly. I was careless."
"You've done a good enough job." Meng Yuan ran his fingers through her hair, his voice gentle, "You're not a god, how can you do everything perfectly?"
"And with this tomb here, even if they are lucky enough to avoid a disaster today, someone will still be attacked in the future. So, in a sense, this disaster is unavoidable."
"I understand the truth, but I just can't accept it for a while."
Shen Qingqing sighed, lowered her eyes to look at his bloody fingers, and asked, "Does your hand still hurt?"
"Fortunately, I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of pain, but you..." Meng Yuan hesitated, raised his eyes to look at the busy doctors in the distance, patted Shen Qingqing's shoulder and said, "I'll borrow some over there.
thing."
Shen Qingqing nodded, stared at his back for a while, then lowered his head to look at his skinned finger, and touched it slightly, it still hurt a little.
She narrowed her eyes and chuckled.
Normally, she wouldn't even care about an injury of this magnitude. She would get better anyway, but it seems to be different now.
If someone pampers you, you will become squeamish. This chapter has been completed!
