After the banquet, Su Yin and Qingyan went back to their room to rest. Originally, Zhu Tianci also prepared a guest room for Gu Xueqiao, but this time Gu Xueqiao really had to go back to the military camp at all costs.
Although everyone knew the purpose of Gu Xueqiao's return to the military camp, which was to keep an eye on the Sanhetu in the car to avoid being tampered with.
But Gu Xueqiao came up with a high-sounding reason.
"As a soldier, Xueqiao should live in a military camp. The palace is luxurious and comfortable, but it is not a place for soldiers to hone their will. Xueqiao does not dare to covet comfort. I hope **** will wake up to himself and ask the Lord and Mr. Zhu
Do not mind."
Zhu Tianci was speechless by Gu Xueqiao, so he had no choice but to let Gu Xueqiao lead a few soldiers to ride back to the military camp.
Su Yin, on the other hand, chuckled to himself. This Gu Xueqiao has learned to sing a high-pitched tone. Okay, I will let this guy live in a military camp for a year when I go to Dingnan Province. Let's see what he says.
At dawn the next day, Gu Xueqiao had already sent someone to deliver the message. Two thousand troops from Dingnan Province escorted a thousand carts carrying Sanhe soil and set off.
It is said that the return journey is faster than the outbound journey, but this time the journey back to Dingnan Province was obviously much slower due to the extra thousand carts and the huge team walking on the road.
Su Yin and Qingyan sat quietly in the car, closing their eyes and relaxing. From time to time, they opened the curtains in the car and looked at the scenery on the road. They felt comfortable and at ease.
Although winter is approaching at this time, there are still a lot of vegetation on both sides of the mountain road. A few touches of dark green are faintly revealed among the blue-gray rocks, making it look solemn and solemn.
The motorcade was on its way, and suddenly the car in front stopped. Su Yin's car jolted, and she and Qingyan subconsciously rushed out of the car.
"What's going on!" Su Yin asked with a frown.
An officer rode over and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty the Duke, our vanguard exploration team was attacked!"
Su Yin's eyes widened, "Lead the way!"
Under the leadership of the officer, Su Yin and Qingyan walked to the front of the team. At this time, the guards who were escorting saw Su Yin, the duchess, coming in person. They quickly formed a circle and stretched out their hands to pull the bow string.
, looking extremely nervous.
Su Yin walked into the crowd and was dizzy from the strong smell of blood. He suddenly saw in the open space in front of him, twenty cavalrymen responsible for the current route exploration were lying on the ground in a mess. Blood was flowing all over the ground, which was even more disturbing.
What is unacceptable is that most of the remains of these soldiers are incomplete, and countless severed limbs are scattered on the ground, which looks horrific and abnormal.
In addition, what is even more strange is that even if someone attacks, usually they only kill people, but there is no time to kill the horses. However, the horses in these twenty cavalry teams were brutally murdered without exception.
Su Yin made a rough inspection and discovered that these soldiers seemed to have been attacked by some wild beast, because there were obvious bite marks on the wounds and severed limbs. What was even more exaggerated was that on the breastplate of one soldier, two
There is actually a hole the size of a small wine cup on the thick hard steel plate. It doesn't look like it was left by a spear or other angular weapon, but more like a...teeth mark!
Su Yin knelt down and took a closer look at the land for a moment. He saw a huge footprint that did not look like a human being. The footprints were messy. If he read correctly, there should be three... no, it was three such monsters that attacked the cavalry.
