The Ancient Martial Witch Arrives

Chapter 317 The Ending (1)
"Brother..." Lan Jiu's voice was almost exhausted, and the lonely voice echoed over Jianye City, abrupt and desolate.

Chang He quietly walked to Lan Jiu's side and remained silent, and did not disturb Lan Jiu. He had already sent knights to scout around. After the war, Jianye City was already a dead city. Although there were many dead soldiers in the city, but But there were no corpses of civilians. Obviously, Wu Xiang had removed all the civilians on the eve of the war, leaving only the army to fight the Western Shu Army.

Judging from the number of corpses on both sides on the battlefield, Xishu did not gain any advantage in this battle, and the corpses of the Xishu army were much more than those of Wu soldiers. The Xishu army broke through Jianye City, but the casualties Equally tragic.

At the cost of the capital city, Wu Xiang gambled with his own life and won the war. Wu's army and people, who had experienced the pain of annihilation of the country, were united, and no country would be able to perish again. This is the so-called Rebirth from Nirvana.

The north wind howled, blowing away the bloody smell over Jianye City. The capital city was no longer prosperous, and all it had was a mess of corpses.A lot of black eagle monsters gathered in the sky, howling and screaming, coveting the corpses of the soldiers who died on the ground.

In front of this dignified and bloody city wall, Lan Jiu cried bitterly. This was the first time she shed tears after transmigrating, and it was also the first time she shed tears in her past and present life, for her misunderstood brother.

Lan Jiu has too many things to say to Wu Xiang, but there is no chance anymore...

The deceased is dead, no matter how sad he is, he can't change the fact that has already happened. Weeping is just to vent the sulking in his heart. When the tears run dry, Lan Jiu finally raises his head silently and looks at his brother who once liked him.

"Changhe, where is Jiang Sanlang now?" Lan Jiu's voice was low and murderous.

Jiang Lang is his biggest enemy on this continent. He chased her before and put her in danger many times. Now the Western Shu Army has killed Wu Xiang again. Lang can't do it too many times.

"Lan Jiu, there is one more thing I want to tell you. The bodies of Lan Fei and Lan Ling were found in Jianye City, and they were in the imperial palace. However, they were not killed by Wu soldiers. They should be killed by Xishu soldiers. Yes, and...their death conditions were miserable, with no clothes on them...apparently they were killed after being insulted." After receiving the information from his subordinates, Chang He pondered for a while before telling Lan Jiu about the situation.

"Good death!" Lan Jiu snorted coldly, and the resentment in his heart deepened. At the beginning, he should have killed these two sluts, and let them survive to lead the way for the Xishu army, which eventually led to the destruction of the capital of Wu State. However, this is all predestined and cannot be changed, and it is Wu Xiang's wish to break the city.

Although she doesn't know much about the national politics of Lan Jiu, she also understands the principle of rebirth from Nirvana. The former Wu State is really terminally ill and hopeless.Wu Xiang's use of destroying the country to rebirth the people is to unite the hearts of the people, to gather hope, to let the people see how serious the consequences will be if the country is destroyed, and to unite the people in the desperate situation.

This may be in response to a sentence in the Art of War, which is the key to Wu's rebirth after death.

"Jiang Lang should still be in Wu country!" Chang He said after pondering for a moment.

Changhe knows Lan Jiu's personality too well, no one can stop her from seeking revenge on Jiang Lang, so Changhe can only tell her what he knows.

"Help me bury Wu Xiang's body first." Lan Jiu expected that Jiang Lang must still be in the territory of Wu State. She sighed, holding the black spear that penetrated Wu Xiang with both hands, and pulled it out forcefully. Changhe stepped forward to catch Wu Xiang's body. His body was already stiff, and he had apparently been dead for two days. It seems that the West Shu Army broke the city two days ago. According to the defensive capabilities of Jianye City, the West Shu Army The city should be broken after three days of siege. At that time, Lan Jiu happened to be still in Bincheng, and it happened to be the time when Jiang Lang attacked Bincheng and Wu Xiang ordered the king of Fengjiang to rush to help Bincheng.

Wu Xiang clearly knew that the capital could not withstand the attack of the Xishu army, but he still let the king of Fengjiang lead the most elite troops to Bincheng.He led the remaining soldiers in Jianye City to resist the attack of the main force of Western Shu until the city was broken and died in battle.

"According to the etiquette, Wu Xiang should be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and a funeral should be prepared for him before the burial, but Jianye City has become a dead city, and no one attended the funeral. What do you mean, Lan Jiu?" Chang He hugged Looking at Wu Xiang's body, he hesitated.Changhe respected Wu Xiang very much and was willing to prepare Wu Xiang's funeral, but no one could attend his funeral.This made Changhe very embarrassed.

"Please send your knights to inform the surrounding residents, that is, to prepare for Wu Xiang's funeral tomorrow. He is the emperor of Wu Kingdom, and the funeral etiquette must be indispensable!" Lan Jiu said with certainty.Lan Jiu was very sad that she couldn't see Wu Xiang for the last time. She wanted to send Wu Xiang for the last journey. Although Wu's capital city was breached, it was a necessary etiquette for Wu Huang's funeral.It is also the only thing Lan Jiu can do for Wu Xiang!

Lan Jiu knew that preparing for Wu Xiang's funeral might be discovered by the Western Shu Army and be attacked by them, but Lan Jiu was willing to take this risk.

Changhe nodded silently, expressing his unconditional support for Lan Jiu's decision. In fact, if danger really happened, then Changhe could still rely on the strength of Xiaoyao City to resist.

After cleaning up the corpses in front of the city gate, several Xiaoyaocheng soldiers made simple stretchers and carried Wu Xiang's body into the city. The streets in the city were in a mess. When four soldiers carried Wu Xiang's body into the city At that time, Lan Jiu followed beside the body, while Chang He led hundreds of knights to clear the way ahead, moving away the bodies piled up on the ground.

Because there were too many corpses in the city, Changhe had already started, sweating profusely and moving the corpses away from the street. The dirty blood on the corpses stained Changhe's clothes, but he didn't realize it.Seeing Changhe's hard work, Lan Jiu finally felt a little bit of comfort in his heart. His beloved is right in front of him, and he has not lost his memory. This is the most comforting thing for Lan Jiu. Although they haven't known each other for a long time, But there are also many stories. If he really loses his memory, how will all the lost beauty be restored!
