Under the horrified gazes of everyone, Ying Chumei raised her head and looked around.
Those who originally had some resentment in their hearts all lowered their heads in unison, like a defeated rooster, and no longer had the arrogant and domineering arrogance they had just now.
"Oh!"
Seeing this, she couldn't help but snorted, then turned and left.
Next, while thinking about things, she headed in the direction pointed by Yao Wa'er.
She had some doubts from the beginning.
The purpose of this trip was just to get the Xuanyuan Sword, but why did the six things Xi He encountered along the way always talk about becoming emperor?
Could it be that...the Xuanyuan Sword and the Xia Dynasty throne are related to each other?
In short, Ying Chumei could only speculate on so many things.
But she didn't care. It was useless to know if she couldn't pass the last level. She would get the answer naturally after passing it.
Therefore, we still need to find ways to deal with the next test.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a light red barrier appearing in front of her, and in the center of the barrier was a rough wooden door.
"It seems the first test has been passed."
Ying Chumei thought this in her heart.
Then, he opened the wooden door and walked in.
As soon as she opened the door, she suddenly felt a cold feeling on her face, so she couldn't help but reach out and touch it...
"Metal mask?
The scene transition is so smooth."
Just as she was thinking about it, she also took stock of her surroundings.
The house is not spacious and the layout is very simple.
There is a desk in the center of the room, with several handwritten files placed on it. Perhaps because of the rush of time, the handwriting on it looks very sloppy.
The candlestick sitting nearby flickered, and the weak light was reflected on the weapon rack nearby. The twisted shadow looked like a ferocious monster, but if you look closely, it showed a formidable atmosphere.
Gently rubbing her temples, Ying Chumei roughly understood where this place was.
The layout and environment look like a general's mansion.
Suddenly, her nose moved suddenly, as if she was sniffing something.
Immediately afterwards, the face hidden under the mask began to become serious.
The smell of blood!
That extremely rich smell of blood!
So much so that even the air has been so seriously polluted!
She could smell the bloody smell inside the house, but it would only be stronger outside...
If your guess is correct, a tragic massacre most likely occurred here!
But just when she wanted to go out to see what was going on, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, accompanied by the smell of blood, which made her stop immediately, and then put her hands in her sleeves.
Knead the secret in case of sudden attack.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, Ying Chumei also carefully thought about countermeasures.
At present, it seems that this test is closely related to the massacre outside, but she doesn't know what is in front of her this time.
Judging from the surrounding environment, her status should be high. She originally walked from the small mountain village, but when she turned back, she saw that there was a bedroom behind her.
Therefore, her current identity is very likely to be the owner of this general's mansion.
General's Mansion... Massacre...
She vaguely already had the answer in her mind.
At this time, the owner of the footsteps also walked through the long corridor and appeared in front of Ying Chumei.
A big man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters was wearing a set of copper armor. The finely carved patterns on it were now soaked in blood. As for the head, it was even covered by thick blood.
The scattered black hair was also stuck together due to the dried blood stains.
The whole person looked extremely embarrassed, like an evil ghost crawling up from the depths of hell.
"General, you...
...Are you awake?!!"
Seeing Ying Chumei looking at him, the big man couldn't help but look shocked.
In order to avoid revealing her secrets, Ying Chumei did not reply, but nodded casually, and then asked lightly:
"What happened outside?"
Hearing this, the big man looked sad and annoyed, and then he knelt on the ground with a thump.
"General! My subordinates are incompetent!!
Our city of Wen...can't hold on!!
Those damn gangs of thieves started killing people as soon as they entered the city. No matter whether they were men, women, old or young, no one was left alive wherever they went!!"
really……
After hearing this, Ying Chumei's heart also made a "thump" sound.
As she continued to go deeper, the feeling of resonance became stronger and stronger, as if she had really experienced these tragedies in the world. Even though she knew that everything was just a test in the maze, she still couldn't help but feel compassion.
, to get angry.
I'm afraid this is the only way to see through a person's true nature.
So she thought for a while, and then continued to ask the big man:
"How's the battle going now?"
"Currently, it's just me and a few other brothers who are guarding not far from the General's Mansion, but we won't be able to guard for long!
There are too many of them! We can’t stop them!!!
The common people who had not yet been massacred gathered around, hoping that the General's Mansion could bring them shelter."
"oh……"
Ying Chumei nodded, and then planned to walk out.
But at this moment, the big man did call her.
"General, what are you going to do?!"
"Kill the enemy."
She just responded lightly, as if she was doing something insignificant.
She knew what the other person wanted to say next, but she didn't want to hear it. Knowing some things would make her even more upset, so it was better not to ask anything and just do what she thought was right.
But what she didn't expect was...
Just when she was about to get up and walk out, the big man suddenly kowtowed to her.
"Absolutely not possible, General!
You can’t go!!!”
"Why?"
Suddenly, the tone of her voice began to sound cold and unhappy, so much so that even the air around her became a bit chilly.
"General, I will finally know that you are avenging the dead souls in this city!!"
The most feared thing is still coming.
She was the general responsible for defending the city, but she was assassinated at the beginning and fell into a coma. The enemy took advantage of this opportunity to break into the city, thus creating this inhumane massacre.
Now she woke up, but she had already missed the best opportunity.
Perhaps seeing her hesitation, the big man begged again:
"General, please don't be confused!
Now our Great Xia is in danger, as the king's most valued general, how can you die in this tiny place!
The hatred of the country can still be avenged in ten generations!!
You are the backbone of this summer!!
Once sacrificed, who has the ability to save the building from collapse?!
Then Daxia will really be subjugated!!!"
Originally, Ying Chumei shouldn't have hesitated.
But what the other party said is not unreasonable.
As the last hope of this dynasty, she does have a lot to do. Which prosperous and peaceful world is not filled with corpses, blood, and bones?
It seemed like she had no choice.
Follow the other party's arrangements, escape from the city, and take revenge later when you have accumulated enough strength.
This is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice at the moment.
A city has been lost, how can she turn the tide on her own?
It's nothing more than adding another dead soul.
Only survive,
Only then can there be hope and a chance for revenge.
When a person dies, nothing is left...
"well……"
Ying Chumei stood at the door with her hands behind her hands, her back facing the big man.
Although they were far apart, she could still hear the desperate wails. Through the thick walls, she seemed to be able to see the unarmed people being slaughtered wantonly.
Fear, trembling, despair, resentment.
A series of negative emotions surged out of her mind, as if she was accusing the enemy of atrocities.
"Let's go, follow me out for a look first."
After saying this, she walked out of the house.
The big man hesitated for a while, and finally had no choice but to follow.
At this time, Ying Chumei opened the door of the General's Mansion.
There were huddling figures everywhere outside the door. Some of them were shivering in the corner, and some were kneeling on the ground, praying to the sky.
And not far away from them, there was the shocking sound of fighting.
Those soldiers fell down one after another, and then rushed forward one after another, without any hesitation.
Perhaps seeing her appearance, the civilians rushed up one after another, and then knelt in front of her.
"The general is out! The general is out! We are saved!!"
"Sir General!! Please save us! I am the only one who escaped among dozens of people in my family!! Please take action and kill those beasts!!"
They knelt there and kept kowtowing, so much so that even the originally clean bluestone was stained with a layer of blood.
They begged, but everyone's face lit up, as if Ying Chumei was their hope.
"General, those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters!!
Don’t let them soften your heart when they beg for mercy!! Even if you fight to the end, it won’t help! We can’t save them anymore!!!
It’s just that we died in front of them! Only if you escape can there be hope!!”
Seeing this, the big man also urged Ying Chumei in a low voice, fearing that she would stay in a hurry.
"You said that smart people know how to choose by this time, right?"
Suddenly, Ying Chumei, who had been silent all this time, asked.
"General, you..."
"Maybe you are right, only when people are alive can there be hope.
If he dies, revenge and all that will be nothing more than empty talk.
I know this.
Although I don’t think I’m very smart, I can still tell right from wrong.”
As she said that, she turned her head and looked at the deputy general quietly.
"But you just said that I am the backbone of Daxia?"
"right……"
"Well... my Daxia spine would rather break than bend!!"
