Gritting his teeth, Sanbao had no choice but to give up chasing Li Yinhu and Zhou Xingjia.
At this moment, he raised his eyes and looked around, only to see that the densely packed insects on the ground had begun to retreat, leaving thousands of corpses on the ground.
In this wave of insects, only a handful of people who were lucky or skilled were able to avoid the disaster. The vast majority of the others, including the prince and prince of Dali Temple, all became dead souls under the insects.
Looking at the corpses on the ground exposed after the insect tide receded, there was no blood on these corpses, but their bodies, including their physical bodies, had basically been eaten away by the insect tide and were in tatters.
The most unlucky person is Wang Fuyong. His body is now a complete skeleton, and there is not even a piece of flesh as big as a palm left in his body.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and bugs, and the image of corpses everywhere was extremely impactful, and Sanbao's face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face.
He knew that he was in big trouble.

Xi Zheng Palace.
Li Chen looked at the several black insect corpses in front of him and Sanbao who had been kneeling for half an hour, his face expressionless.
"How many people died?" Li Chen asked.
"There are seven thousand six hundred people." Sanbao replied bravely.
"Yes, there were fewer deaths than last year's natural disaster." Li Chen sneered.
Sanbao lowered his head, not knowing how to answer, let alone daring to answer.
"Li Yinhu has always been in collusion with the Miao village?"
Sanbao quickly replied: "Yes, we did find some clues before, but we couldn't determine which force it was. Now that they have revealed their trump card, they can confirm that the Miao village is good."
Li Chen didn't look very good-looking.
Although it was good to break Li Yinhu's attempt to gain fame and interrupt Li Yinhu's hopes of competing for position with his stick, the sudden appearance of the Miao village made Li Chen feel a little uneasy.
"The clan clans in the Central Plains, the Miao tribe in southern Xinjiang, and the chieftain lama in Tianzang have always been serious problems for the imperial court, and there is almost no solution."
"Among them, the Miao tribe in southern Xinjiang is the most low-key and almost isolated from the world. However, it is precisely because of this that the closed environment makes them naturally have a strong xenophobia. Although the court has garrison and yamen there, it has no control over the local people.
However, they do not have much say in the government affairs management. If there are any problems within the village, it is up to the village itself to resolve them. Conflicts between villages are also resolved internally, through peace talks or deadly fights, but there are no official affairs."
"It's not the government's turn to take care of it."
Li Chenzhi asked expressionlessly: "What is Zhou Xingjia's background in southern Xinjiang?"
Sanbao knew everything and replied: "Zhou Xingjia comes from Zhoujiazhai in southern Xinjiang. This Zhoujiazhai is ranked among the top five villages in southern Xinjiang. Moreover, the Zhou family inherited the medical and Gu skills of Miao Xinjiang during their time. Among them,
The most famous one is the art of poisoning living creatures, but many years ago, the servants, under the orders of the Holy Master, uprooted the entire Zhou family Miao village at a huge cost, and then they disappeared from the stage of the entire Miao territory."
"It's just that this is just fading out on the surface. After all, as long as Zhou Xingjia is still there, the Zhou family cannot be considered dead."
"The custom of the Miao village is closed intermarriage. They do not accept outsiders, and they do not allow Miao girls to marry outsiders. Therefore, over the years, the several large Miao villages have almost always intermarryed with each other, so that there is one among you and one among me.
