At night.

Pang Panghai came to ask where the general would stay tonight.

Lin Ye thought for a while and replied: "I live at Zhong Yaoshi's house."

Pang Panghai said: "But General, a lot of people were slaughtered in that place and it has not been cleaned up yet."

Lin Ye said: "It doesn't matter."

Pang Panghai lowered his voice and said: "General, what I mean is that so many people died in that place, will it be unclean at night?"

Lin Ye stepped forward, his tone as calm as running water: "If there is anything unclean, just kill it."

Pang Dahai hurriedly followed.

As he walked, he was thinking that with the murderous aura of the general, no matter how unclean he was, he would not dare to get close to him.

Maybe there was indeed a lot of resentment in the Zhong family yard where many people had died, and there were some things floating around.

But when the general moved in, he didn't dare to gather his grievances, and Ah Piao had to move out overnight.

Lin Ye moved in when he said he wanted to move in. When he walked in, the smell of blood was still very strong.

The corpses have been transported away, but because Lin Ye wants to live here, he arranged to clean up the place first.

So many people died in Tianxian Tang City that no one could estimate how many died.

The people were horrified. They only saw carloads of corpses being transported out of the city.

Some civilians came back at night, their faces as white as paper and their eyes dull.

They were drafted to dig holes outside the city. At first, they didn't know what they were doing digging holes. They just knew that the cowardly soldiers asked them to dig the holes as big as possible.

Later I found out that it was used to bury corpses. Carts were thrown into the pit one by one, then covered with soil, then covered with lime gravel, and rolled over again and again with stone rollers pulled by carts.

But this day, the killing was far from enough.

They were still killing at night, and they were still killing at dawn the next day.

More than 3,000 cowardly and brave soldiers killed them for a whole day and a night. It was as if all the court officials in Xiantang City were killed.

In the early morning, Lin Ye had a boxing session in the yard. Pang Panghai came over rubbing his eyes and handed Lin Ye a towel.

Lin Ye glanced at him: "Didn't you sleep well?"

Pang Panghai shook his head: "It's not that I didn't sleep well, it's that I didn't sleep well. Last night, many people came to ask the general for instructions on what to do, but I blocked them all. I told them that everyone who should be killed should be killed, and there is no need to come again to ask for instructions."

Lin Ye nodded.

Pang Panghai said: "General Jiao also came here once and asked how long the killing would last. I told him to just watch by himself."

Lin Ye asked: "What did Jiao Tianbao say?"

Pang Panghai said: "General Jiao said that it would be easy to handle. Those who deserve to be killed must be killed, and those who may or may not be killed are still killed."

Lin Ye hummed: "Send someone to give an order to Jiao Tianbao, so that the team can rest for a day and a night, and they will be on their way tomorrow morning."

Pang Panghai asked: "General, do you want to go to Northern Xinjiang for the winter?"

Lin Ye said: "I want to go."

He looked outside: "I'm going out for a walk by myself. You don't have to follow me. You can rest whenever you need."

"yes."

Pang Panghai responded, but he was still a little worried.

He saw Monk Hua shaking his head at him in the dark, and he understood what Monk Hua meant.

Monk Hua told him, you go and rest, and we will follow the general secretly.

Lin Ye went out from Zhong's house. The sun's rays shone on the street, making it look golden.

It's not that the stone road is so smooth that it can reflect the sun, but that it was flushed with too much water last night and hasn't dried yet.

Lin Ye walked all the way out, and there wasn't even a breakfast vendor on the street.

First of all, it may be because the killings yesterday were so heavy that vendors were afraid to open their doors for business.

Secondly, Dongbo is extremely poor right now. Is there any family that has enough food left over to sell food?

Even if there was one, I probably wouldn't dare to expose it, for fear of becoming a public target.

Lin Ye walked about two or three miles without encountering any Dongbo people.

All the stores on the street were closed, and no one even dared to open their windows.

Lin Ye stopped, thought for a moment and looked behind him. As soon as he turned around, Monk Hua knew something was going on and hurried over.

"Master, is something wrong?"

asked the flower monk.

Lin Ye said: "Send someone back to tell Jiao Tianbao, let him rest for half a day, go to the Dongbo Barracks in the afternoon, bring out five thousand Dongbo soldiers, and carefully search the houses of those who were slaughtered last night, and find out everything

All food is distributed to the people."

"okay."

Monk Hua responded immediately.

Lin Ye continued to walk forward, and when he reached an intersection, he saw Nie Fubo standing there on duty.

The young man had not slept all night. When he saw Lin Ye approaching, he quickly stood up and performed a military salute.

Although I have only followed Pang Panghai for a short time, I have learned almost all the rules in the military, and this military etiquette is very standard.

Lin Ye looked at Nie Fubo's face and knew that this young man still had not recovered from the killing.

Lin Ye asked him: "You look bad, do you think I am too murderous?"

Nie Fubo said: "Those who are ordered to be killed by the general must die. I don't know what is right or wrong. I only know that the general's military orders are like mountains."

Lin Ye nodded: "Very good, if you are still a little uncomfortable..."

Nie Fubo said: "My subordinates will adapt. If there are still others, then adapt as soon as possible."

Lin Ye didn't say anything more and continued to move forward.

After Nie Fubo hesitated for a moment, he caught up with Lin Ye: "General, can I ask a question?"

Lin Ye looked back at him: "Are you still on duty now?"

Nie Fubo immediately replied: "Back to General, I have changed my guard and came down early in the morning. I just thought of something when I walked to the intersection. I couldn't figure it out, so I was in a daze."

Lin Ye asked: "What's the matter?"

Nie Fubo followed Lin Ye's footsteps: "General, if these Dongbo officials dare to set up an ambush for the general, there will naturally be a way out."

Lin Ye did not answer, and motioned for Nie Fubo to continue.

Nie Fubo said: "If my subordinates are right in thinking so, then the Dongbo people have only one way out...to lure the Loufan people into the pass."

Lin Ye glanced at Nie Fubo, with some appreciation in his eyes.

This young man had little experience, and no one taught him anything in the fishing village before.

Just from the fact that the Dongbo people dared to set up an ambush for Lin Ye, we can figure out that the Dongbo people wanted to surrender to the Loufan people.

Although these things are obvious and not difficult to guess, if it were someone else who told Lin Ye, Lin Ye wouldn't care.

Even a guy as thoughtful as Pang Panghai can think of this.

But Nie Fubo was different. Before coming to Dongbo, Nie Fubo had a blank slate.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lin Ye asked him.

Nie Fubo said: "What I didn't understand is that since the people of Dongbo have made such a choice, wouldn't it be a disaster for the king of Dongbo to go to northern Xinjiang to have a secret meeting with the Loufan people?"

Lin Ye asked: "Why don't you think that the king of Dongbo just went to bow to the Loufan people?"

Nie Fubo said: "Because it is not necessary. If the king wants to surrender, he only needs to send envoys to Loufan. He went to talk in person. Is it because he is stupid and can't understand that the people of Loufan are more willing to ask for help?"

A winter park without a king?"

The admiration in Lin Ye's eyes became even stronger.

Nie Fubo said: "The monarch is in northern Xinjiang, but the courtiers dare to kill the general in the capital. It shows that they also want to put the monarch to death."

"The matter of surrender must be discussed in secret before it is completed. It is impossible for the monarch to go to the northern border in person without leaking any information. If Dayu learns about it, what will happen to the monarch of Dongbo."

"So, these Dongbo court officials probably want to kill the general first, then kill the Dongbo monarch, and then seek refuge with Lou Fan."

Lin Ye stopped.

He looked at Nie Fubo: "After returning to Yunzhou from Dongbo this time, you don't have to follow me for the time being."

Nie Fubo was startled and his face changed.

"General, did my subordinate say something wrong? I am willing to change it. I just ask General..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Ye said: "There is a Shangwu Academy in Yunzhou City. You go to the Shangwu Academy for a year first. If you succeed in your studies, you can come back with me."
