Chapter 329: Xiling Warriors, the Mystery of the Hidden Gods

Yu Chen, who was a Shensui Qi Refiner, didn't believe the words of the officials.

Because he knew very well how strong the palace wall of the inner city of the capital was. Even if a strong man like Shitou didn't practice his body, he might not be able to knock it down!

Indeed, he also felt that these dozen women had been wronged.

But things in this world are never subject to the will of mortals.

Otherwise, why would they need hundreds of thousands of troops guarding Mobei to resist the monsters?

Sending 18,000 women directly to the monster capital would make the monsters in the northern border cry and destroy the country!

Besides, even if this was true, they cried down the palace wall to attract the attention of the capital.

How could they let the collapsed palace wall crush them to death?

So Yu Chen's first reaction to this matter was... to kill them.

But the officials didn't think so deeply. While digging pits to bury people, they sighed that this was really a huge injustice!

Yu Chen did not refute them, but waited until they buried the bodies and went down the mountain.

Then he looked at the more than ten short graves.

He only saw a ghost with its feet off the ground, standing with its hands hanging down, its black hair falling down like a waterfall, and under the waterfall-like hair, it was a pale face, with a blood-red tongue stretched out long.

Looking down, her body was a thin layer, only a few centimeters behind, like an irregular cake, the blood-stained plain clothes were tattered, and stuck together with the rotten flesh and bones.

There was a cold and bloody chill all over her body, which could not be dispelled even by the hot June sun.

——Resentment.

Yu Chen could easily recognize that this chill was the resentment and anger condensed after the resentful soul died.

At this moment, the ghost buried his head deeply, crying and complaining.

"Give me back my husband...Give me back my husband...Give me back my husband..."

Yu Chen waved his hand, and the ghost followed him into the house unconsciously.

The Sutra of Deliverance was displayed, and golden light shone!

A series of scenes flashed by.

Let's talk about this woman, her surname is Qin, and she is from Huangshan County under the jurisdiction of the capital, more than 800 miles away from the capital.

This Qin is 30 years old this year. She is a well-known wealthy family in Huangshan County. Although she is not rich, she is at least well-fed and well-clothed. She has never touched water since she was a child.

Such a woman should have married a man of her dreams in the year of marriage, and she would take care of her husband and children.

But the matchmaker broke the door of her house, and she was not satisfied with those young men.

Until one day when she was playing on the street, she accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by a bear-like strong man named Chen Mang. From then on, they fell in love at first sight, and the two of them talked back and forth and confided in each other.

Qin also gave Chen Mang a precious red jade necklace as a token of love.

At that time, the Qin family would never agree to this marriage, after all, Chen Mang had nothing but strength, and his family had no cows.

But Qin was also a strong woman. Even if the Qin family wanted to break off relations with her, she would marry Chen Mang.

In the end, the Qin family couldn't beat her and let her do what she wanted.

But many years after the marriage, the two still had no children.

When they went to the clinic, they found that it was Qin's own problem. She was born a barren woman and could not give birth.

In this world, not being able to give birth is the biggest sin. Even if you are a princess, you will be secretly criticized.

For a while, all kinds of rumors were spread in the county.

At that time, Chen Mang passed the assessment of the Tiangongsi of the county with his strength and obtained the qualification of a candidate for the "Xiangling Lishi" directly under the Ministry of Works, which was also considered half a government family.

His status was naturally different from before.

At that time, the neighbors all said that Chen Mang should divorce Qin and marry another one, saying that there are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring.

But Chen Mang was furious when he heard it, and he scolded them, saying that Qin was willing to marry him when he was penniless, and if he divorced her just because she couldn't have children, what difference would he make from an animal?

Those good-hearted neighbors suffered a loss from Chen Mang, so they went to instigate Chen Mang's mother, but the old woman drove them out with a broom, saying that Qin was a member of her Chen family and a ghost of the Chen family. If Chen Mang planned to divorce his wife, she would break all three of his legs!

This stopped the thoughts of those who wanted to climb up Chen Mang's high branches.

Later, the family of three lived better and better. Chen Mang entered the Ministry of Industry and became a ridge-lifting warrior; Qin opened a tea shop at home and managed it well.

They lived a colorful life.

But it seems that God cannot bear to see such smooth sailing.

Half a year ago, an accident happened.

Chen Mang had just returned home on leave, but within two days, he was called away by a transfer order from the Ministry of Works, saying that he had a mission to open mountains and cut off rivers.

He never came back.

In the past, although Chen Mang also followed the people of the Ministry of Works to run around, he would at least write a letter every month.

But this time, there was no news.

At first, Qin and Chen Mang's mother did not take it too seriously. After all, the tasks of the court were also confidential. At that time, things like letters were difficult to be passed on.

Until not long ago, just after the New Year, Qin went to the street to do business, but found a red jade necklace in a pawnshop.

Qin's heart skipped a beat, and she took it over and saw that it was indeed the one she gave to Chen Mang when she and he were under the moonlight.

——The name of Chen Mang and hers were engraved on the inside of the necklace!

Mrs. Qin was shocked and frightened, and quickly asked the shopkeeper where the necklace came from.

The shop owner didn't hide it, saying that Tian Que, a "scavenger", had pawned it, and he still pawned it.

Qin knew that "scavenging dead people" refers to those Gangdang who wandered from place to place, had no shelter, and specialized in making money from dead people.

There are even some black-hearted ones who even do the work of fighting upside down.

This statement immediately frightened Mrs. Qin!

How could the necklace she gave to Chen Mang fall into the hands of a "dead scavenger"?

Could it be that... something unexpected happened to Chen Mang?

At first, Mrs. Qin had no intention of telling her about this in a hurry.

But there are a lot of loudmouths in the county, and Chen Mang, as a Xiling warrior, is also a celebrity, so the news naturally spread to my ears.

This old woman was already frail and sickly. This sudden tragedy caused her to fall ill immediately. She died within three days.

Mrs. Qin was so sad that she buried her mother, took out the money, took it with her, saluted her, and went to the capital.

She was going to the Ministry of Works to ask her husband where he had gone and whether he was dead or alive.

——After all, if you work for the imperial court, even if you die in the line of duty, you must notify your family.

But this Chen Mang never came back and there was no news from him. What does this mean?

Qin had only one thought at this moment.

You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you die!

We must find Chen Mang!

In this way, she set off from Huangshan County and rushed to the capital.

Along the way, we traveled over mountains and ridges, eating and sleeping in the open air. Three pairs of cloth shoes were worn out, and five clothes were torn by thorns. I was dusty and pale when I arrived in the capital.

After entering the capital, by chance, she met several women who were in the same situation as her - their husbands were Xiling warriors from the Ministry of Industry, but they suddenly disappeared more than half a year ago.

These women all came to find their husbands. Some lived in the capital, some came from counties under the capital's rule, some just came like the Qin family, and some had been here for two or three months.

It's a pity that those women who came early were kicked out without even entering the Ministry of Works.

Mrs. Qin thought for a moment, and then told these women who were also looking for husbands like her, that we can't fight alone, we have to become a rope and work hard together!

So, a dozen women knelt on Luoshui Bridge this morning.

They attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers, notified the Ministry of Industry, and attracted the attention of important people, and then they were received.

At first, everyone was overjoyed. After all, the Ministry of Industry, one of the six departments of the imperial court, should naturally know where their husbands were.

And now, they themselves know that their husbands are unlikely to survive.

After all, the Xiling warriors were just starting out, just relying on their strength to carve out mountains and reclaim seas, and to fight against the mighty power of nature.

So when they come to the capital, most of them just want a clear answer - whether the person is dead or alive, where and how he died!

But what Qin and the other women didn't expect was.

A foreign minister from the Ministry of Industry received them.

They were very enthusiastic at first, but after hearing their husbands' names, they immediately shook their heads.

It is said that there are no such people among the Xieling warriors of the Ministry of Industry!

Mrs. Qin and a dozen other women were stunned.

They also took out their husbands' original appointment letters, warrior robes, salary books... items that proved their husbands' identities.

But the foreigner took one look at them and said that these things were all forgeries. Their husbands had never come to the Ministry of Works at all, and might have gone to the mountains to become bandits behind their backs.

As he spoke, he also took out a list of all the unloading warriors from the Ministry of Industry, dead and alive, all on it.

When Qin and others checked, their husband’s name really didn’t exist!

But even so, how could Qin and others believe it?

You must know that it was the people from the Ministry of Industry who personally recruited their men as Xiling warriors with seals, red silk, fish cards, and fate books.

——Which bandit would dare to forge the seal of the Daxia government? They are only trying to steal money, not seeking death!

As a result, more than a dozen women did not believe it and asked higher officials from the Ministry of Industry to authenticate the authenticity of the objects in their hands.

The foreigner finally couldn't bear it anymore, scolded them for being unreasonable, and sent them all away!

Qin and others are all women in their thirties, so who are the opponents of those officers and soldiers?

Was soon kicked out.

But how can these women in the feudal world survive without their husbands?

He refused to leave, so he cried outside the gate of the Ministry of Industry, hoping to attract the attention of more officials and investigate the matter thoroughly.

Unexpectedly, even though I was crying, the wall collapsed before the official came over.

The towering palace wall, which was more than a hundred feet long, collapsed with a roar!

Stones weighing thousands of kilograms fell with a sound. How could the flesh and blood of these women be able to bear it?

Just screams were heard, and each one was crushed under the heavy gravel and rubble, turning into meat patties.

At that moment, Mrs. Qin raised her head.

After she saw the dust, in the shadows, the foreigner from the Ministry of Industry and another sinister old man with gray hair were watching them from a distance.

It was like looking at a little mantis trying to stop a steel chariot.
