Chu Huan was surprised: "If the stone gate is not opened, are they all sealed in this grotto?"

Xin Guiyuan said in an old voice: "Nine months had already been spent in the cave at that time, and the wind outside had not completely subsided. At that time, Feng Hanxiao sent many people to search for us... When the stone gate was sealed, The food stored in the cave is only enough for more than three months...!"

Liuli frowned and said, "You were imprisoned here for more than a year, and the food for more than three months is definitely not enough."

Xin Guiyuan sighed: "Do you know that the real horror of time is not death, but hunger."

Chu Huan deeply felt the same. People who have never experienced hunger cannot feel the fear of hunger. That kind of fear is even worse than death.

He suddenly understood something at this moment, frowned, glanced at the bones everywhere in the room, and said: "Could it be that the people here are all killing each other because of food?"

"Even if the rations of more than 300 people are reduced to only sustaining life, it can only last for five months." Xin Guiyuan's pupils contracted, "At the beginning, most people were not aware of the food crisis. What everyone was thinking at the time was how to open the stone gate, until they exhausted their energy, and finally knew that the stone gate could not be opened, so everyone began to look for other ways out in the cave."

"Since you are the Prime Minister, you naturally have thought about the food issue." Chu Huan asked, staring at Xin Guiyuan's eyes.

Xin Guiyuan had already said: "So from then on, except for the king and a few others, I have reduced the rations as much as possible. The king wants to share weal and woe with everyone, and he asked for a reduction in rations. He believes that as long as everyone can survive , can finally find the exit.”[

Liu Li sighed: "Since you have been trapped here for an extra year, that means hundreds of people have searched for the exit, but there is no result for a year."

Chu Huan's heart sank again. If it took more than a year for the soldiers of Xichang to find the exit, then with the strength of himself and Liuli, it is even more impossible to find the exit in a short time. There is still some food in reserve, but right now I have nothing to eat.

However, he naturally knew that since Xin Guiyuan had survived until now, it proved that they had finally found the exit. Now that they wanted to leave the grotto, the Prime Minister in black in front of him was probably the last hope.

The prime minister in black sighed: "The food is getting less and less every day, and the mood of the soldiers is getting more and more anxious and morale is low. Only at that time can a person's loyalty be truly tested."

Chu Huan said: "The soldiers have mutinied."

"It's just a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death." The prime minister in black said coldly: "At that time, the little food left was stored in this stone room, and the soldiers were eating and lodging outside. He was sharing food and lodging with the soldiers, and he was outside at the time. General Yun is worthy of being loyal and courageous. He already knew that there was not much food at that time, and he was ready to sacrifice his life. The more than 200 soldiers were all soldiers under General Yun's command for many years. , has always been obedient to General Yun, so General Yun mistakenly believed that when he was ready to sacrifice his life for righteousness, the soldiers under his command would also be willing to die with him."

Chu Huan sighed: "Yun Dingtian wants to kill himself and save food for the King of Xichang? He thinks that if he has this thought, the soldiers under his command will be like him. After all, he is a generation of brave generals, but he has forgotten human nature."

"So he did one thing wrong." Xin Guiyuan smiled bitterly: "Although the rations were reduced, those soldiers didn't know that the remaining rations could only last for one month at most, but Yun Dingtian asked them After telling the truth, I made it clear to everyone that I am willing to commit suicide, and the rest of the food will be given to the king."

Liuli just sighed faintly and didn't speak.

"Because of this, the mutiny happened." Xin Guiyuan clenched his fists, "The soldiers became very emotional at the moment. Yun Dingtian wanted to restrain everyone, but it was too late. They were already hungry. Cut off, the last food is in the stone room, under the instigation of several people, they abandoned their loyalty and shame, and all rushed towards the stone room, trying to snatch the last food away...!"

When Xin Guiyuan said this, his body trembled slightly, obviously he still remembered the scene that year.

Chu Huan seemed to have imagined the situation at that time.

"Yun Dingtian didn't expect that group of beasts to be so devoid of conscience." Xin Guiyuan's eyes showed a stern look, "There are more than 200 people, only a dozen or so are considered loyal people. Together with Yun Dingtian, they blocked them from rushing into the stone room, but the group of people had become mad dogs. When Yun Dingtian stopped them, they began to bite Yun Dingtian. Outnumbered... the dozen or so people under his command were all killed in battle, and he was forced to retreat outside the stone chamber. We can see from the entrance of the cave that he was alone in the tunnel fighting with the gang of mad dogs, with countless wounds on his body. , a tunnel, full of corpses, one died, two came up, we opened the cave, it was the king's order, to allow General Yun to come in... General Yun was entangled by them, shouting for us to seal the cave entrance, In the end, we have no choice but to seal the entrance of the cave to protect the King...!"

Chu Huan's mind already had the tragic scene back then, and his brows were furrowed.

He couldn't judge who was at fault in the accident. Perhaps, as Xin Guiyuan said, the soldiers lost their loyalty, but in that case, the soldiers were hungry and faced with the threat of hunger and death. Losing their minds, they may not even frown when they fight to the death on the battlefield, but the fear of being tortured to death by hunger allows them to do anything. [

Liuli listened for a long time, and finally said quietly at this time: "The entrance of the cave is sealed, and the soldiers cannot enter. Although Yun Dingtian died in battle, I am afraid that none of the more than 200 people survived."

"They deserve to die." Xin Guiyuan said solemnly: "A group of traitors will not be reborn after death."

Chu Huan's lips moved, wanting to say something, but nothing came out after all.

Liuli said softly: "Although more than 200 mouths were lost at once, there are still dozens of people inside, and there is not enough food."

"Although there are more than 200 mouths missing, the food can only last for six or seven months at most." Xin Guiyuan said slowly: "At the beginning, we will be safe, and after a month, we will send people out from the cave. , but found that those traitors did not all starve to death...they even have a dozen people left...!"

Chu Huan and Liuli looked at each other, both a little strange. Without food, no matter how strong they were, let alone a month, they would starve to death in six or seven days.

Just for a moment, the eyes of Chu Huan and Liuli showed horror at the same time, because they thought of a surprising result at the same time.

However, Xin Guiyuan had already made a strange voice, saying: "It seems that you have already figured it out, they deserve what they deserve, and in the end they turned into real beasts...!"

"If that's the case, they will live a long time." Chu Huan sighed.

More than 200 corpses, enough to consume for a long time.

Xin Guiyuan said: "The king knew about this, of course he would not allow such a thing to happen, so we sneaked out of the cave together one night, touched the place where the traitors were sleeping, killed them all, and then followed suit According to the king's order, gather all the corpses together, and burn them all with a single fire."

Only then did Chu Huan understand why there were no dead bones outside the stone room, only Yun Dingtian leaning outside. It turned out that the corpses of other people had been burned to ashes.

He was puzzled and couldn't help asking: "Since they have all been cleaned up, why is Yun Dingtian's body left outside the cave?"

"That's the king's order." Xin Guiyuan said: "Yun Dingtian is a first-class loyal minister, and the king decreed that if the king dies one day, he will be buried in the Buddhist cave with General Yun... If in the end We are trapped here to die, and even if we are discovered after hundreds of thousands of years, people must remember that there was such a loyal warrior guarding outside."

"The king of Xichang still couldn't go out in the end." Chu Huan said: "The people in this stone room must have killed each other because of food in the end."

"There are always good and evil in human nature. They just think that if one more person dies, there will be one less mouth, and the food will be able to support them for a while, and they will be able to live longer." Xin Guiyuan said in a deep voice: Most of the people who got up here were civil servants, but besides Yun Dingtian, there were several military generals who were supposed to be guarding the Holy One, but in the end it was those generals who colluded with each other and launched an attack at the same time, wanting to slaughter the civil servants...! "

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Of course Prime Minister Xin Guo is also a civil servant."

"So I was almost unavoidable." Xin Guiyuan sighed: "Like a wild beast, the former colleagues killed each other for food. Although the civil servants are not good at martial arts, they all have weapons after all, and there are many people. There are many people, civil servants and military generals fighting each other. At that time, the king was already very weak, and the medicine man was there to take care of the king. I called the medicine man to close the stone door of the small stone room... At the end of the fight, there were corpses everywhere, bloodstained, I thought I had died Die, after I woke up, I realized that I almost died, it was the medicine man who saved my life..."

"Then only you and Yao Weng are left as the two courtiers?" Chu Huan asked with a frown.

Xin Guiyuan's eyes showed resentment, and he sneered, "If that's the case, it's fine, but there are still two people who survived... The real crime was committed by those two traitors."

Chu Huan was taken aback. He thought that everything was over, but hearing what Xin Guiyuan meant, there was still something big going on. He looked at Liuli, and when he saw Liuli, he was also staring at the god in black. Mutually.
