Chu Yao sighed and said: "The national seal, the national seal of Xin State!"

The short six words fell in Gong Shuwu's ears like six thunders, or the kind that exploded directly in his ears. He was so shocked that he froze on the spot. He couldn't hear the outside sounds for a while, and he didn't know what Chu Yao said again. For a long time,

, his fists tightened and then tightened, and then tightened again.

Chu Yao: "I am sure that someone in the rebel camp knows the approximate location of the national seal, and for this reason, he would not hesitate to create a plague and massacre the city."

The national seal is related to the destiny of the country.

And the fate of the country is closely related to the people.

Although the Xin State was destroyed, the national seal of the Xin State has not been completely severed from the people of the Xin State, and the national seal still has a part of the national destiny. That person created the plague to massacre the city in order to use this method to quickly consume the national destiny. Once the national destiny is consumed, the national seal will be

will be completely exposed.

Chu Yao looked at Gong Shuwu solemnly.

Asked: "Actually, Qi Yuanliang and I have already guessed that 'Gong Shuwu' is a pseudonym, and your real identity is 'Gong Wen', right? Before the capital of the Xin Kingdom was destroyed, the whereabouts of 'Gong Wen' were unknown. After that, Zheng

Qiao ransacked the Gong family's house, and you were the only one missing. So..."

Gong Shuwu also knew that he had not been wearing his vest for a long time.

When Chu Yao exposed him to his face, he was not frightened and furious. Instead, he felt like "it's finally here" and let go of a certain burden.

He simply admitted: "Yes, I am Gong Wen."

Gong Shuwu happily confessed: "Before the capital was destroyed, the former king privately called me into the palace and entrusted me with the national seal, hoping that I could help the descendants of the Xin Kingdom to restore the country. Even if the country cannot be restored, this country

The seal cannot fall into the hands of Geng Kingdom Zheng Qiao..."

What was the urinary nature of the former leader of the Xin Kingdom?

Does Gong Shuwu know?

However, the Gong family received a salary from the Xin State and had to be loyal to the monarch. He fled the capital overnight with the imperial seal, wandering all the way, evading pursuit. Only by praying for good deeds did he gain a short period of peace, but never expected that he would still escape.

Don't go there...

Just as Chu Yao was about to say something, there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground outside the house. The two looked at each other, got up and opened the door.

Outside the door, on the ground.

A corpse that didn't even close its eyes in death.

The corpse was very skinny, with exposed arms, ankles, and calves. It was so skinny that the skin and flesh clung tightly to the bones. The cheeks were pale and thin, the cheeks were sunken, and the eye sockets were black. The body was wearing tattered clothes that could barely protect the body, exuding a strange smell.

stench.

Gong Shuwu squatted down and took a breath.

He said: "Already dead."

There was only a little residual warmth left in the body.

Gong Shuwu suddenly heard what Chu Yao had just said, "a bright light in the darkness", the prophetic way of the scribes. He raised his head and vaguely saw a humanoid object crossing the high city wall and falling into Xiaocheng. With a bang, it fell.

In the alley next door.

When this person landed, there was still heat.

He lay softly on the ground.

The sickly, twisted face with twitching muscles was covered with blood. He was a man in his forties. When he heard the noise, his eyes turned in the direction of Chu Yao and his lips with difficulty.

Judging from the shape of the lips and mouth, he should be asking for help.

He used the last strength of his body, thinking that the cry for help was loud, but in fact it was broken into pieces, so weak that even the night wind could blow it away. There was a gurgling sound in his throat, blood overflowed from his mouth, and soon his eyes were filled with tears.

It stopped moving.

Chu Yao closed his eyes heavily.

My eyes are not looking, but my mind is constantly replaying what I saw in my dream.

Epidemics spread everywhere, people exchanged their children for food, and Xiaocheng's ten houses were empty. The people were waiting for death in despair. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a hell on earth.

"Unheard, unseen," he said softly.

When he was young, he was high-spirited and led troops to fight in the Northern Desert. When he was frustrated, he experienced the destruction of Chu State, experienced being exiled on foot in shackles, and worked as a handyman in the Yuehua Building in Xiaocheng, being called around and drank by others without dignity.

...In his short life of thirty-four years, he thought he had experienced enough, but - he had never seen the scene before him!

How ridiculous!

Is this really a scene that would happen in the Yang world?

The color in Chu Yao's eyes suddenly disappeared, and his body swayed slightly and fell to one side. If Gong Shuwu hadn't caught his shoulders quickly with his quick eyes and hands, he might have hit the wall. Gong Shuwu nervously called: "Sir!"

Chu Yao took a breath.

Swallowing the acid boiling in his throat, resisting the urge to vomit, he said in a weak voice: "Find some firewood and burn these corpses."

Gong Shuwu frowned: "Burned? Not buried?"

Chu Yao said: "It's useless to bury it."

The people in Xiaocheng don't have enough to eat, and the rats are even hungrier. They will rummage for any food they can find. Burying the corpses will leave hidden dangers. It is better to burn them all with fire to minimize the risk of harm to healthy people.

Contact with dead bodies.

They knew these corpses were sick.

But others don't know.

Especially the soldiers guarding the city walls of Xiaocheng.

"What are the rebels doing?"

"The stone was thrown incorrectly..."

"Bah! You really want someone to smash you into a pulp, right?" Pao Ze, who was guarding the city together, spat angrily.

It would be nice to be able to save a small life.

Another soldier said: "It seems that the one thrown in is a human being?"

Most of them are ordinary people. Even if there are brave warriors, the level of martial arts is not high. Their night vision is limited and they cannot clearly see the things thrown into the city. They can only judge what they are based on their rough shapes. After he finished speaking, he was laughed at by others.

Already.

"Vote? Hahaha, so vote?"

"You threw it in and it turned into a pulp, right?"

Are you sure that this is a divine weapon sent from heaven and not a sinister weapon sent from heaven?

With such great force and such a high altitude, even a brave warrior of seventh or eighth grade would lose half his life. The soldiers did not pay attention at first, but instead focused on the rebel catapult.

The catapults kept banging for more than half an hour.

The soldiers were preparing to accept the call, but as a result——

The rebels returned with their catapults.

gone back???

The soldiers all looked confused. The battle had been going on for so long just to throw dozens of people in???

this--

What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

Shen Tang and his party also paid close attention to the situation here.

They did see clearly who was thrown in.

Just a group of ordinary people in ragged clothes.

I have to say there's something special about it, but it's probably because he's too thin. The adult male inside doesn't even have a skin or bone in his body, weighing less than eighty pounds.

Shen Tang put down the hand covering his eyebrows.

Said: "What are the rebels doing?"

No matter how weird it looks.

Zhai Le folded his hands on his chest and tried to analyze: "Could this be used to frighten the people defending Xiaocheng and shake the morale of the army? But this doesn't make sense. With the current strength of the rebels, it would only take a day or two to capture Xiaocheng.

.Why use bloody methods to intimidate?"

Shen Tang said quickly: "I'm a little worried."

Zhai Le: "What are you worried about?"

Shen Tang: "These people who were thrown in..."

Doesn't look very healthy...
