Zhou Dacheng and Nangong Yue decided on a time and left happily.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, it was quiet outside the inn, and the soldiers camped outside seemed to have rested.

Nangong Yue fell asleep quickly after days of hard work, but Zhou Dacheng was so excited that he stayed up most of the night. Before dawn the next day, he happily brought Mo Xiuyu to wait for Nangong Yue. Judging from Zhou Dacheng's energetic appearance, Baihui and Huamei couldn't tell that he didn't get a good rest last night.

After having breakfast, Nangong Yue, Zhou Dacheng, and Mo Xiuyu took a few guards from the palace, nearly ten people in total, and rode all the way to the southeast. The camp behind them was after they left. It’s almost going to explode——

? "This is too shameful!" the tall and thin soldier named Lao Chen said angrily.

"That's right." The short soldier beside him hurriedly agreed, "We are going to Yanding City to deliver medicine, not to accompany that young man to enjoy the mountains and rivers!"

Old Chen sighed: "I used to think that Mr. Zhou was loyal to the Crown Prince, and he was forthright and generous, and he was a strong-willed man. But now it seems that may not be the case. As the old saying goes, it is better to know people. You don’t know the face but the heart, and it takes a long time to see the heart!”

"That's right. Captain Mo is also so accommodating." Two other soldiers on the side also came over to interject. One of them said sarcastically, "From what I see, I'm afraid there will be some troubles along the way..."

"We are just little soldiers, we have nothing to do with the boss..."

"Since you have some rest, just rest."

"..."

The soldiers gathered together in twos and threes and whispered to each other. Naturally, these trivial gossips could not reach the ears of Nangong Yue and the others. They were galloping along according to the map drawn by Yi Cheng. Xiao Hui flew behind them in the air, and then flew in front of them.

Naturally, the mine would not happen to be right next to the official road, so everyone could only choose those paths to walk, sometimes passing through a small forest, sometimes jumping over a stream, and sometimes going around a field...

The road was tortuous, and the speed of the horses was naturally limited.

About half an hour later, a small **** covered with weeds and shrubs appeared in front of us. At the end of the small slope, we could vaguely see a continuous mountain range.

Zhou Dacheng slowed down his horse, and so did everyone else.

Lily couldn't wait to point to the mountains ahead and said: "Is the mine over there?"

Zhou Dacheng looked at the wrinkled map in his hand again, nodded, and pointed to one of the mountains ahead: "It should be the mountain to the south. There is a village nearby. It must not be difficult to find... ”

Xiao Hui made a loud cry in the air and flew forward. Look, the direction it was flying in was not the direction Zhou Dacheng pointed just now.

Seeing this, Baihui and Lily couldn't help exchanging glances, beaming with joy.

From the looks of it, Xiao Hui has probably been here before. So, the ore he brought back yesterday probably really came from that abandoned copper mine.

"Drive!"

The group of people continued to gallop, their horses' hooves flying.

After driving over the small slope, the mountains ahead became closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer. After a moment, Lily excitedly pointed ahead and shouted: "The village is here!"

When the village arrives, it means the mine has arrived!

She pinched the horse's belly and was about to charge ahead, but she was stopped by several voices at the same time: "Wait a minute!"

The voices of Nangong Yue, Zhou Dacheng and Mo Xiuyu happened to overlap. The three of them looked at each other and immediately understood that they should be talking about the same thing.

However, they stopped Lily but were too late to stop Xiao Hui.

Xiao Hui has already spread his wings and rushed to the entrance of the village. He cries majestically in the air and spins in circles, scaring away all the birds parked on the trees.

"Quack——quack——"

The crows, as black as ink, let out loud cries that could not be heard without stopping, flapping their wings and flying away in all directions.

When she saw so many crows gathering here, Lily realized something was wrong.

Since ancient times, crows have been regarded as ominous signs, not only because their appearance and sound are unpleasant, but also because they often appear in places that represent death. Ultimately, it is because crows eat carrion.

There are so many crows gathered at the entrance of this village. Could it be that someone has died inside and is holding a funeral?

Lily speculated in her mind, but then immediately overturned this guess.

If there was a funeral, why would this village be so quiet?

Quiet...

Thinking of this, she felt more and more something was wrong.

Yes, this village is so quiet!

Although they were still some distance away from the village, there was no sound, no smoke, and not a single person in the village. It was really unreasonable!

What Lily thought of, no one else present could think of it.

Zhou Dacheng clasped his fists and said, "Prince Concubine, why don't I let my subordinates take a few people over to have a look?"

Nangong Yue responded, Zhou Dacheng took Ren Zinan and two other guards and ran towards the village entrance first, leaving Mo Xiuyu and a few guards behind to protect Nangong Yue's Zhou Quan.

Nangong Yue watched Zhou Dacheng and his party go away, watching from a distance as they gradually slowed down their horses, then dismounted at the entrance of the village and walked into the village...

It was quiet all around, except for the occasional snort of the horse on its crotch, and the crows that had been driven away by Xiao Hui seemed reluctant to leave, lingering nearby, hovering in the sky or perching on the branches...

The rough crow call came intermittently and faintly...

What is it that makes these crows linger?

Nangong Yue, Bai Hui and Lily felt even more uneasy. After a while, Zhou Dacheng's figure appeared at the entrance of the village again. Seeing that he was safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Dacheng got on his horse and rode over.

Lily's nose moved, and she turned to Baihui and said, "Cousin, do you smell a smell?" It was a smell even more disgusting than rotten eggs.

As Zhou Dacheng got closer, the stench became more and more obvious.

Nangong Yue naturally smelled it and frowned.

This is the smell of death!

Her heart skipped a beat. It seemed like something terrible had happened in this village...

At this time, Zhou Dacheng was already a few feet away, with a solemn look on his face that no one could ignore.

"Prince Concubine," he solemnly clasped his fists and reported, "all the people in this village are dead!... It seems that they have been dead for at least three or four days. His subordinates asked Alan and the others to check in the village. Let's see if we can find any clues..." They still have military matters to attend to during this trip, so they probably need to notify the officials in nearby towns to investigate the case thoroughly.

Zhou Dacheng is a person who has been on the battlefield. He has seen a lot of **** and tragic scenes on the battlefield. Although he is not accustomed to it, he has also seen a lot of strong winds and waves, and scenes that are more **** than just now are not never seen it.

It's just that it was on the battlefield, a confrontation between two armies. At that time, people had abandoned their own nature and became a weapon in war.

Whether the original intention of this weapon is aggression or defense, soldiers are not the same people they usually are on the battlefield, and they are not their true selves.

But the village just now was different. It was filled with ordinary civilians, all of whom were powerless. Men, women, old and young, and even babies... were brutally killed one by one.

This should be said to be "massacre of the village"!

Who on earth could do such a cruel thing!

Zhou Dacheng couldn't help but clenched his fists as he thought about it.

That was definitely not done by ordinary people, because those murderers were simple, neat and ruthless when they committed the crime. Ordinary people who have never had blood on their hands would never be able to commit such a ruthless act. Moreover, the women who were killed were all neatly dressed and had not been insulted, which means that these murderous gangsters were extremely disciplined, which also greatly increased their danger...

When he thought that there might be a group of ruthless gangsters lurking nearby, Zhou Dacheng became restless. Although he was fearless, if he hurt the Crown Princess, even if he had nine lives, he wouldn't be able to afford the compensation!

"Prince Princess, let me let my subordinates **** you back to the inn first." Zhou Dacheng suggested eagerly and worriedly.

Nangong Yue half-squinted her eyes and pondered for a moment before saying: "Zhou Dacheng, take me there to have a look..." If there really is silver in the mines nearby, and this village was massacred by "coincidence" , making her have to wonder if there was a connection between the two.

Man will die for money, and birds will die for food. This is the eternal truth.
