Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1188 Why are they all dead?

Bai Ming slightly pulled Cheng Bi's cloak and changed the subject: "You also go to eat something and drink some hot water. We are about to set off, so hurry up."

Cheng Bi retreated as instructed.

Bai Mingwei drank the hot tea in one gulp, then held the cup and pondered.

Yu Jianling saw that she was lost in thought and didn't bother her.

In this way, after a short rest, the group continued on their way.

The closer we get to Luquan City, the smell of blood and putrid smell becomes stronger.

Everyone who had traveled a long distance was already in a heavy mood, and they were even more troubled when they encountered such a situation.

Hurrying slowly, we walked for about half an hour, and finally Luquan City was in sight.

At this time, someone raised his hand and pointed to the moat and exclaimed: "Look, are those densely packed floating in the moat corpses?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

After coming back to their senses, they all looked in the direction of Luquan City.

The patter of raindrops continued to fall.

It fell into the lapel of my clothes, feeling ice cold.

Everyone looked at Luquan City through the dull and shallow fog, and the creepy feeling on their spines quickly overcame the original coldness of their bodies.

Some officials looked extremely panicked: "Did the entire Luquan City be destroyed by the flood? That's why there are so many corpses floating?"

The other officials were also uneasy: "Why is it so weird? It's so unusual!"

The guards all clenched the swords at their waists and stood ready.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

"Who?!"

Suddenly there was a slight scolding, and Bai Mingwei jumped up.

When she stopped, she had arrived at a hidden pit.

She squatted down, pushing aside the wet dead leaves with one hand, and grasped the hilt of the sword with the other hand, ready to attack.

But when she opened the dead leaves, a strong smell of blood rushed to her head.

Then, she saw clearly the person lying in the pit.

The man was covered in dirt and mud, and his appearance was completely unrecognizable.

However, the arrow stuck in the abdomen is particularly eye-catching.

The place where he was stabbed was bleeding with blood.

The blood broke away the mud wrapped around his body and kept flowing out.

Bai Mingwei immediately applied acupuncture on the man's acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, but when he took his hand back, the injured man suddenly moved.

The man wanted to grab Bai Mingwei's hand, but Bai Mingwei quickly dodged it.

He caught the opportunity, but did not give up. He grabbed Bai Mingwei's sleeve with his backhand.

Bai Mingwei's expression remained normal and he asked, "What do you have to say?"

The man struggled to get up, but as soon as he tried hard, the blood from the wound started to flow more violently.

Even the mouth and nose were constantly leaking blood.

It can be seen that his situation is not optimistic.

Seeing this, Bai Mingwei tried to slow down his voice and continued to ask: "What happened? What do you want to tell me?"

The corners of the man's lips trembled violently, and his mouth was gushing with red blood as he opened and closed: "Kill...kill...kill...die."

It's just that the man spoke these intermittent words with great effort.

The veins on his forehead throbbed, and he grabbed Bai Mingwei's hand with all his strength.

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to be deflated. After his body hit the ground, he could no longer speak.

Only the slight rise and fall of his chest showed that he was out of breath and his life was hanging by a thread.

Seeing the blood all over his body, Bai Mingwei knew that this man had reached his limit.

But she still expected this person to tell some more information, so she continued to ask: "Who killed the person? Where did the person die?"

But got no response.

The man took his last breath.

At this time, Cheng Bi rushed to Bai Mingwei's side.

Looking at the dead man who had died, Cheng Bi frowned: "What happened? How could he be shot to death by an arrow? Could it be that there was a battle in Luquan City and that's how the corpses in the moat came from?"

Bai Mingwei took out the arrow from the body and took a look, then shook his head: "This is an ordinary arrow. I can't see any special origin, so I'm not sure whether there was a battle in Luquan City, and I'm not sure whether this person is an innocent refugee or a refugee. Evil bandits."

Cheng Bi suggested: "Miss, since we don't know anything, we have no choice but to go and have a look. Anyway, Luquan City is very close at hand."

Bai Ming nodded slightly, then walked to Liu Yao's carriage: "Your Highness, the situation ahead is different, I will go over and take a look first."

Liu Yao's voice came quickly: "General, be careful in everything."

Bai Ming responded slightly: "Yes, Your Highness."

Immediately afterwards, Bai Mingwei ordered Yu Jianling: "Follow me, don't follow too close, and don't stay too far away, otherwise if there is danger, I will not be able to come back in time." After saying that, she looked at Cheng Bi again: "Protect. Good Lord."

Cheng Bi was a little worried, but still obeyed the order seriously.

Bai Mingwei led the team forward for a certain distance, and then rode ahead.

The horses were galloping and quickly left the team far behind.

And she was getting closer and closer to Luquan City.

When Luquan City approached, she realized that what was floating in the moat was indeed a real corpse.

Not only in the moat, but also in the mud in front of the city gate, there were corpses lying everywhere.

Some are dead, some are rotten.

The stench was overwhelming.

This scene of floating corpses everywhere is not as brutal as the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang.

After a flood, it is normal to find floating corpses and bones.

But the death before his eyes was anything but normal.

Bai Mingwei frowned: If the corpse is left to dry casually, aren't you afraid of attracting the plague? What did the county magistrate do? No common sense at all.

With doubts, Bai Ming slightly raised his eyes and looked towards Luquan City.

The city gates were closed, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city were nowhere to be found.

At this moment, an arrow came through the air.

Bai Ming raised his hand slightly and pinched the arrow with his fingers.

"Shhhhhh!"

But in the next moment, more and more arrows were shot in this direction.

Arrows rained from the sky, weaving into an airtight net, carrying death moves and attacking Bai Mingwei overwhelmingly.

Bai Ming slightly raised his eyelids, pulled out the sword from his waist, and turned it around in his hand a few times.

An invisible huge wave instantly blocked the arrow several steps away.

As Bai Mingwei's hand holding the sword pushed forward, all the arrows were blown away.

Then it broke into several pieces and fell to the ground one after another.

There was a moment of dead silence, and no further action was taken.

The arrows she blocked fell all over the ground.

When her gaze passed over these arrows, she condensed slightly: "These arrows don't have arrowheads?"

Then she glanced around.

The voice was still very light, but it was filled with a bone-chilling coldness.

“It turned out that the arrows that had arrows were lodged in their bodies.”

The corpses around were all killed by arrows.

Bai Mingwei was a little confused: What were the guards in Luquan City doing? Even if you refuse to save people, you shouldn't kill them!

Could it be an accidental injury? They may have wanted to kill the gangsters, but accidentally injured the refugees.

But there are no corpses of any gangsters here. These dead people are obviously old and weak.

Could it be that they were rioting and that was why they were destroyed?

What the hell is going on?

Why shoot the refugees who come to seek refuge?

This answer can only be given by those who draw the bow.

Bai Mingwei shouted towards the city gate: "Bai Mingwei, the general of Zhenbei, has come to Jiangbei with an edict to provide disaster relief. Please ask the magistrate of Luquan County to come and greet him as soon as possible."

However, in response to Bai Mingwei, there was another rapid rain of arrows.

Bai Ming raised his sword slightly and blocked it easily.

The team that arrived later saw Bai Mingwei in the rain of arrows from a distance.

This kind of thing made everyone extremely puzzled: "What is going on in Luquan City? Is there a rebellion?"

Bai Mingwei realized that the team was getting closer and closer to her, so she shouted: "Don't go any further. If you come any further, you will be within shooting range."

When the team stopped, she jumped up.

The city wall is not very high, so it is not difficult for her at all.

Arrows were fired again in the city, but like a big agile bird, she flew towards the city wall against the rain of arrows.

Falling down steadily, the tip of her sword pointed directly at the soldiers who were holding the bow and shooting arrows, and then took out her waist badge: "General Zhenbei Bai Mingwei is here, what do you have to say?"

While Bai Mingwei spoke, he looked at the people hidden on the city wall.

Only then did she realize that the people who drew their bows and shot at her were not just city guards, but also people dressed as ordinary people.

She looked towards the city. This city on a slightly higher ground had not been damaged by the flood.

But it was completely silent at this time, and no one was moving at all.

Seeing this, Bai Mingwei spoke calmly again: "This general needs an explanation."
