During the Grain Rain season in late spring, the weather is getting warmer and the spring rain is falling, causing the vegetation on the outskirts of Chang'an to grow wildly, becoming lush and full of spring.
Lin Ze, who was sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, frowned slightly, with a hint of worry on his face.
Humidity and heat are the most likely to cause diseases, especially in Chang'an City, where there are millions of unprocessed corpses.
Once a plague breaks out in Chang'an City, if the wind blows and the air flows, it will surely sweep through the entire Guanzhong area.
This fertile and precious land will become a dead land.
Tens of millions of civilians living in the fertile pass will suffer disaster.
Since Lin Ze has occupied this fertile land in Guanzhong, he cannot let it go to destruction.
With Lin Ze's current cultivation level, if he exerts all his strength, he can actually turn Chang'an City into a huge tomb like Xianyang Palace.
But Lin Ze didn't take action because he was a little reluctant to part with the supplies in Chang'an City.
It’s such a pity that so much accumulation of wealth from wealthy families is just buried with them.
Although fighting for the world relies primarily on force, logistical support is also extremely important.
If Lin Ze wants soldiers to attack the city and seize territory for him, he can't let them go to work hungry.
Moreover, the ancient city of Chang'an has gone through thousands of years of ups and downs since its establishment. It is a pity that it has disappeared like this.
In order to "rescue" this majestic city, Lin Ze decisively divided the more than 90,000 captured South Vietnamese soldiers into 900 squads, and also divided Chang'an City into countless small areas.
Each team was responsible for a certain area. They went into the city to search every house, carried out the corpses, and buried them in the mountains and forests outside the city.
Based on Chang'an City's total population of five million, one person would need to transport and bury fifty-six corpses on average.
Lin Ze's deadline for these prisoners was two days.
Within two days, the team that can transport and bury the corpses in the assigned area will be qualified to correct their evil ways, or be incorporated into the Western Qin army, or become Western Qin people.
Lin Ze would not kill all the teams that had not been moved in two days. After all, he was not very interested in killing prisoners, but these people did not expect to be treated well and were prepared to do hard labor for a lifetime.
He spent his whole life digging mountains, mining, building bridges and building roads, until he died.
Lin Ze's request may seem difficult, but in fact it is not harsh at all. After all, this is a world of high-level martial arts, and most people can easily carry five corpses at once.
What's more, Lin Ze was very humane and demolished the city wall of Chang'an City to allow prisoners to move in and out to carry corpses.
In addition, Lin Ze specially asked Yu Ziqi to take people to the towns near Chang'an to recruit civilians and be responsible for building camps and preparing food.
Under the temptation of three times the salary, Yu Ziqi successfully recruited 20,000 people.
These peasants grew up in villages and towns, and were very good at building houses and burying pots to make rice, and they worked enthusiastically.
As for moving the corpses and digging pits to bury them, Lin Ze did not intend to let these civilians touch them, or even let them know about them.
If they knew that so many people died in Chang'an City at once, wouldn't it cause panic?
To this end, Lin Ze also specially arranged for soldiers to block the road to separate the civilians from the prisoners.
The civilian husband only needs to deliver the prepared food to the designated place, and there is no chance of meeting the captives.
In addition, Lin Ze also sent someone to order the Ministry of Industry to expedite the production of quicklime, and asked Jin Yiwei by name to expedite the delivery of 100,000 yuan.
After the corpse has been moved, sprinkle quicklime on it to disinfect it once and for all.
Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of Western Qin soldiers, the cleanup work is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, Lin Ze's expression changed, he stood up from the cloud bed, bowed slightly to the east and said, "Master Nephew pays homage to Master Tongtian."
As soon as Lin Ze finished speaking, a young Taoist priest with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes appeared in front of Lin Ze and said in a deep voice: "No need to be polite."
Lin Ze stood up as he was told, and with a smile on his face, he asked knowingly: "I wonder why Master Tongtian came here?"
The Master of Tongtian Sword glanced at the prisoners who were constantly moving corpses out, ignored Lin Ze, and walked around Chang'an several times.
After a while, the Master of Tongtian Sword left and returned, came to Lin Ze, and asked in a cold voice: "When did the battle to destroy Qin end?"
Lin Ze replied calmly: "Reply to Uncle Master, three days ago."
The Tongtian Sword Master trembled when he heard this, and asked in a slightly anxious tone: "Have you ever seen you acting recklessly, Senior Sister Yunxiao?"
Lin Ze replied calmly: "Three days ago, my nephew saw two senior sisters chasing Emperor Qin into the city. Since then, he has never seen them again."
There was no expression on the handsome face of the Master of Tongtian Sword, but his voice was slightly suppressed and oppressive as he said: "I have been delayed for a few days because of something. In the future, I will come to see you. Please tell me carefully about the specific situation.
.”
Lin Ze cupped his hands and said, "I will obey my uncle's orders."
Then, Lin Ze joined forces with Buddhism and Confucianism, and the outcome of the battle between the eight heavenly beings and the Emperor Qin in the Third Realm was still undecided. The Three Saints personally shot and wounded the Emperor Qin. Unexpectedly, Yun Xiao followed suit. Something happened in Chang'an City, and the Emperor Qin and the eight
Both heaven and man suffer losses, etc. I explained it in detail.
After hearing this, Master Tongtian Sword asked indifferently: "You mean, your teacher and the others left after they wounded Emperor Qin, and it was Xuandu and the others who really defeated and killed Emperor Qin?"
Lin Ze nodded slightly: "Yes."
"You also said that after you, Zhuang Zhou, or the Buddhist disciple Xuantang went in, you only saw eight people, but you didn't see the two senior sisters Yunxiao and the Confucian Cao Shen?"
"Yes."
"Have you looked carefully?"
"My nephew has searched the entire Chang'an City and found no sign of the two senior sisters."
"Then have you ever thought that they were poisoned?" Tongtian Sword Master's tone suddenly turned cold.
Lin Ze smiled bitterly and said: "My nephew has never thought about this. He thought that the two senior sisters escaped with the help of my uncle to save their lives, so they disappeared."
"After all, if Emperor Qin has the ability to enlighten the two senior sisters, he will naturally be able to enlighten others as well. The outcome cannot be a lose-lose situation for both sides."
"It can't even be called a lose-lose situation. Senior brother and the others were seriously injured, but Emperor Qin ran out of gas and died immediately."
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Tongtian Sword Master: "Are you sure that only Emperor Qin will kill your two senior sisters, and others will not?"
Lin Ze was stunned when he heard the words. He wanted to explain a few words, but looking at the face of the Master of Tongtian Sword, he immediately stopped talking and remained silent.
Lin Ze did not speak, but the Tongtian Sword Master had no intention of letting him go, and asked coldly: "Did you build Emperor Qin's tomb?"
Lin Ze nodded slightly: "Yes."
The Master of Tongtian Sword showed admiration and said: "Being able to build a mausoleum for your enemy with your heart is enough to show your broad mind. This is your true character."
Lin Ze looked humble and was about to respond when he saw the Tongtian Sword Master's face change and said: "But you built a monument for the enemy who killed my senior sister. You don't distinguish between right and wrong. You should be punished."
After saying this, without waiting for Lin Ze to defend himself, a sword light flashed through, cutting off a layer of the luck cloud above Lin Ze's head.
Lin Zeru was hit hard, his eyes turned black, and he almost fell off the cloud bed.
The Master of Tongtian Sword looked directly into Lin Ze's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Are you dissatisfied?"
Feeling the loss of luck, Lin Ze felt an unknown fire in his heart. He straightened his body and said loudly: "The two senior sisters encountered an unexpected incident. My uncle is sad. My nephew can understand it. However, my nephew asked himself that he had never been rude in front of his uncle, but his uncle was angry for no reason.
My nephew attacked my nephew indiscriminately, how can I convince my nephew?"
"I did something wrong, but my uncle also threatened my nephew with words and wanted to force my nephew to obey. Could this be done by an elder?"
The Master of Tongtian Sword narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice: "If you are too reckless, you are not afraid that I will kill you with one sword and make you fall."
Lin Ze wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, curved his mouth, and sneered: "Uncle Master insists on humiliating and bullying my nephew based on his cultivation. Even if my nephew dies, he will have nothing to say."
"But justice is in the hearts of the people. My nephew once heard that my uncle is the most upright, free and easy person in the world. Today I know that the rumor is great."
The Tongtian Sword Master looked at Lin Ze, who looked stubborn, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that Wudang Yunxiao's death has nothing to do with you."
Lin Ze didn't find it funny at all. He didn't know how Tongtian Sword Master judged whether he was related to Wudang Yunxiao's death. He only knew that he suffered a big loss.
The Master of Tongtian Sword seemed to know that Lin Ze was unwilling, but he said nonchalantly: "I know that you are dissatisfied with me for venting my anger on you, but you can't do anything about it, right? Not to mention you, even your teacher can't do anything to me.
"
"Since Wudang Yunxiao's death has nothing to do with you, I won't stay any longer. I have to find out the real cause of Wudang Yunxiao's death."
After saying this, four sword lights intertwined, and the Master of Tongtian Sword disappeared in front of Lin Ze.
At a vague glance, it seemed that he was heading to the Taoist Palace.
