He Ruda regretted not going far. At this moment, he could not wait to turn around and return to the county government office.
Because the sight before him made his hair stand on end.
The dead members of the Salt Gang were abandoned on both sides of the road, waiting to be burned after nightfall. The dying wounded lay groaning under the crumbling dry earth wall. Crows circled in the sky and pecked at the ground.
Many mothers were expressionless and lifeless, dragging their sobbing children with staggering steps.
What a hell on earth!
"Don't kill me!" A boy fled in horror, but a cavalry blocked his way and forced him to turn around. The rest of the men surrounded him, whipped him in the face, and drove him to flee in all directions.
Another warrior quickly ran up behind him and whipped his buttocks until the blood stained his thighs. Another person caught his ankle with a whip, causing him to fall to the ground.
In the end, the boy just kept crawling. They got bored and decided to kill him.
"What are you doing?" He Ruda couldn't bear it anymore and screamed at the group of soldiers.
"Execute the rebels!"
"You won't let the children go either?" Liu Mo scolded sternly.
"Who made him want to run away!" The leading soldier waved his hand and motioned for his men to drag the boy away. "My lords, do you want to help the rebels?"
Huang Shouren took a step forward, "Where is General Gao?"
The leading soldier pointed in the direction, "Go find it yourself!"
All the way forward, on the opposite side of the road, there was a girl not much older than Lin Shiqi, sobbing in a high-pitched voice. A soldier pushed her aside, face down, and raped her on the spot.
Next to it, there were several soldiers laughing, waiting to take turns to enjoy themselves.
"Master Huang...this!" Liu Mo couldn't bear it.
"In addition to my Daxia soldiers, Gao Qi's subordinates also include the Hu tribe from the north."
Hu tribe? Liu Mo was surprised.
He had read relevant books. The Hu people were nomadic people living on the vast grasslands in the north, similar to the Huns on earth.
But they are more cruel and barbaric than the Huns!
The Hu people have no settlements. Their economy is largely supported by raiding neighboring countries. In order to survive, they will also attack each other.
Their concepts of sin and shame are also completely different from those of Daxia. Killing, looting, and adultery are commonplace.
"Why recruit such a group of beasts?" He Ruda asked.
"To win the damn war!" Liu Mo replied.
"Tell them to stop." Huang Shouren ordered.
"Master Huang?" Gao Qi's subordinates seemed a little embarrassed.
"Didn't you hear Mr. Huang's order?" Liu Mo scolded, with a sharp tone, "Tell them to stop."
Across the road, the girl was still crying. The first person had finished and the other was coming to take over.
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate?" Gao Qi's subordinates responded.
"What's wrong?" Liu Mo shouted angrily.
"These are the family members of rebels. They are used to reward the soldiers. Why not?" Gao Qi's subordinates replied contemptuously.
The salt gang headed by the fifth leader really deserves to die, they are extremely arrogant and lawless. But what are their family members guilty of?
"Master Huang?" Liu Mo looked at Huang Shouren, you can't bear to see this scene, can you?
Huang Shouren's expression changed, and he glanced at the guard beside him, who immediately grasped the handle of the knife and walked up.
Liu Mo heard Huang Shouren's guards scolding him. His tormentors laughed at him, and one even yelled back.
What happened to the Imperial Guard's bodyguard was that he drew out his sword angrily, and with a flash of cold light, the assailant's head rolled from his shoulders to the ground.
The laughter turned to curses, and the perpetrators drew their weapons one after another. However, facing the highly skilled guards, they only dared to stare at Huang Shouren with cold black eyes. One of them spat, and the others left angrily, muttering something.
Liu Mo stepped forward and pulled the girl up from the ground, took off his coat and put it on her, then led her over and walked to Huang Shouren. "Master Huang, let her go back?"
The girl opened her eyes wide, looked dazed, and was trembling all over.
"This person is a family member of a rebel thief. According to the law, even if he is guilty, he is also a rebel thief!"
"Left and right, if this person tattles even half a sentence in front of me, I will cut off his tongue!" Huang Shouren ordered his guards. "Take this poor girl back and heal her!"
Gao Qi's subordinates immediately shut up, but their eyes were filled with malicious glares.
"These are my Daxia troops?" He Ruda yelled in front of Huang Shouren. "Beasts, a group of beasts in human skins!"
Gao Qi's cruelty far exceeded Liu Mo's expectations, "Master Huang, are we just sitting idly by? You have also seen that these beasts, regardless of gender, even children of several years old, were tortured to death by him!
Even if he is guilty, isn't it okay to be sent to the army? Do you have to kill them all? "
Huang Shouren's face was ashen. He tried to adjust his emotions and tried to appease you, Liu and Mo, "This is the reason why I have stayed in Rongcheng."
Liu Mo also knew that the reason why Gao Qi didn't do anything to him was entirely for Huang Shouren's sake.
If Huang Shouren leaves Rongcheng one day, Gao Qi will definitely transfer him to the warehouse for "interrogation" overnight!
"What is the origin of this beast named Gao?" He Ruda asked.
"The army he led was the most ferocious in the Great Xia Dynasty, and it frightened the Zhou Dynasty! It is said that babies in the Zhou Dynasty would stop crying when they heard his name!" Liu Mo replied, "Of course, for many years, this man He also made great military exploits for our Great Xia Dynasty."
However, for such a butcher, the people of our Daxia Dynasty don’t have any good impressions of him! Liu Mo didn't say this sentence.
This news was told to Liu Mo by Lu Sheng. As an officer of the Great Xia Dynasty, Lu Sheng also deeply hated what this high relative did.
"You can be lawless if you know how to fight? Do whatever you want?" He Ruda was puzzled. "Does the eldest prince have to use him?"
"He saved the lives of His Majesty and the First Prince!" Huang Shouren announced. "Just ten years ago, His Majesty was trapped during the military expedition. If he hadn't risked his life to save him, His Majesty would have been afraid...
The Sixth Prince, myself and other ministers also read several books about this man's cruelty, and His Majesty also had the idea of getting rid of him. However, the eldest prince risked his life to protect him! ! ! "
Raising a hungry wolf can not only fight wars, but also eliminate dissidents for the eldest prince! Liu Mo secretly said.
"Even if we can't bring down this beast, we still have to report what he did to Your Majesty." He said, "This beast's evil deeds will chill the hearts of the people of Great Xia!"
"If you report it, the eldest prince will say that it was done by Zhou Dynasty border soldiers." Huang Shouren answered him, "Maybe they will use this as an excuse to start another war!"
Damn it! Liu Mo frowned.
However, before he could recover, Huang Shouren said something unexpected.
"Now the Daxia Dynasty is overseen by the prince, otherwise, many troubles would not have occurred!"
"The prince oversees the country?"
In his memory, Huang Shouren once said that this prince was not suitable to be an emperor. Liu Mo also had contact with him once. This person acted too...
"That's right, His Majesty is ill and is recuperating at the Chenghe Summer Resort." Huang Shouren said, "His Royal Highness is not a cruel and unkind person, but he lacks the courage of a king and is always too aggressive when facing the eldest prince. weak."
"Master Huang, the eldest prince has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is a rare general in our Great Xia Dynasty. He also has a group of generals who are good at conquering and fighting? And His Royal Highness, he has been fond of reading since he was a child (simply put, he is a civil servant) , right?" Liu Mo couldn't help but ask.
"exactly!"
This is not surprising, Liu Mo thought.
Nowadays, the Great Xia Dynasty is not in a peaceful era, and is at constant war with its enemy, the Zhou Dynasty.
The eldest prince who knew how to fight was naturally the one whom the Emperor of Great Xia relied on. The prince had been studying since he was a child and did not have the spirit of a king. When dealing with the eldest prince, he was always the one being bullied, and over time, he almost became a bloodline and suppressed him!
"If such a prince inherits the throne," Liu Mo said subconsciously.
"Watch your words. No matter when or who you talk to, don't discuss the crown prince's affairs!" Huang Shouren reminded him.
Through Huang Shouren's eyes, Liu Mo saw the implication. This was the reason why he supported the sixth prince.
if not? Choose the eldest prince?
"Then Mr. Huang, is this all? Let a man with a high surname kill all the innocent people?"
Huang Shouren sighed and did not answer.
Liu Mo fell into silence and began to think quickly in his mind.
Soon, a crazy plan came to mind.
