Xiang Wentian returned to the battlefield where the dust had settled. He looked at the corpses on the ground without any joy on his face, and his eyes were filled with loneliness.
The cavalry of the Dragon Elephant Army, led by General Yan, came to Xiang Wentian, and Zhang Jian, the guard of Sanxiang City, also rushed over.
General Yan took off his black iron mask and helmet and placed them on his horse. Then he turned over and dismounted and said respectfully: "Commander Qi, the remnants of the Blood God Army have been slaughtered!"
Zhang Jian also dismounted and saluted: "Zhang Jian, the guard of Sanxiang City, paid homage to His Highness the Crown Prince and thanked the Crown Prince and the Longxiang Army for rushing to the aid of Sanxiang City and saving the people of the city from fire and water!"
"General Zhang, no need to be polite!" Xiang Wentian waved his hand gently.
He paused and asked, "Two generals, are there any prisoners in the Blood God Army?"
Both of them looked a bit ugly when they heard this. Zhang Jian was the first to speak: "Your Highness, the generals of the Blood God Army who were seriously injured and unable to escape all chose to commit suicide, while the ordinary soldiers seemed to have lost their minds and had some kind of restraint on them. , their bodies will explode as soon as they are captured. Our army sacrificed a lot of lives to capture them, but they could not succeed and had to give up..."
Both of them looked a little nervous.
Xiang Wentian frowned and said nothing. He sighed and said, "Wu Zhaojun is too weird. Since we can't capture him, forget it... It's good if we can win this battle..."
Hearing what Xiang Wentian said, the two generals breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang Wentian stared at the corpses scattered all over the ground and said solemnly: "Zhang Jian and Yan Fan obeyed the order and quickly collected the corpses of the fallen soldiers. They sacrificed their lives for the country today and their corpses should not be exposed in the wilderness!"
"General, I obey!" Generals Zhang and Yan immediately accepted the order.
Xiang Wentian nodded lightly and continued to speak sternly: "You two must check the fallen soldiers as soon as possible and report them to the court. All the cash must be distributed to their families, and no one can be left out! If anyone dares to embezzle without cash, he will be killed. !」
The two of them accepted the order, and Zhang Jian said respectfully: "Your Highness, please come to the city to rest. The robes of the Dragon Elephant Army must be hungry after coming from afar. I will order people to prepare food!"
Xiang Wentian thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to worry about us, I have my own arrangements!"
Zhang Jian had no choice but to leave with Yan Fan.
Xiang Wentian did not leave. He then dismounted, took off his black armor, took off his weapons, hung everything on the horse's back, then patted the black horse and said, "Heitan, wait here for me!"
The black war horse neighed, as if in response.
Xiang Wentian walked forward wearing only a black lining with a heavy face.
At this time, Shun's army had already begun to move the corpses, and Xiang Wentian walked to a corpse and leaned down.
The owner of this corpse was very young, only in his twenties, but his good years were ruined here.
Xiang Wentian carefully tried to remove the blood on the corpse's face with his sleeve, and then carefully picked up the corpse.
The busy Shun army stopped when they saw this scene, all their eyes were focused on the Prince Shun, and some people began to talk about it.
"What are you doing, Your Highness?"
"I don't know. Is that person an old friend of His Highness?"
"Oh my God, if I were to befriend His Highness, it would be worth it if I were the one who died!"
Xiang Wentian glanced at everyone, frowned slightly and shouted, "Don't stop!"
The soldiers immediately looked panicked and continued to work.
At this time, the bodies of many Dashun soldiers had been dragged to the open space.
Xiang Wentian carried the young man's body to the open space where the body was displayed. He gently put the body down, and then walked towards the other bodies of Shun's army again.
One, two, three... Xiang Wentian was not very fast, and he treated every corpse with great care.
Although Xiang Wentian didn't say anything, the Shun soldiers also understood that His Highness was just collecting the corpses of the Paozes with them...
Everyone looked moved, but no one commented.
Soon, the injured were brought back to the city for treatment, and the bodies of nearly ten thousand people were picked out, including those martial arts masters who died outside Sanxiang City.
Even the corpses left by the Blood God Army were piled not far away.
Xiang Wentian stood beside the corpses of the Shun soldiers and shouted loudly: "Master Ye!"
At this time, Ye Fangcun was also busy with the officers and soldiers of Shun's army, and ran over immediately when he heard Xiang Wentian's call.
"Taoist Master Ye, please save the soul of my great Shun Ying!" Xiang Wentian begged.
Ye Fangcun nodded and said, "That's exactly what Xiaodao means!"
He sacrificed the Xianyue Wooden Sword given by Sun Chuyi, and the wooden sword flew over the corpses in an instant. Then Ye Fangcun clasped his hands and shouted in a low voice: "All the spirits in the world have their home, the Supreme Emperor decreed , save the souls of the dead, and send you to the six realms of heaven and earth to send you to the afterlife!"
As Ye Fangcun's voice fell, his body flashed with a faint white light, and then a series of runes condensed in his hand and hit the Xianyue Wooden Sword in the air.
After the runes were submerged, the Oblique Moon Wooden Sword began to rotate slowly, and then burst into soft light, shrouding a large area of corpses.
I saw a series of disembodied figures with unclear faces emerging from the corpses. These were the souls of the soldiers.
The surviving officers and soldiers of Shun's army were all surprised when they saw this magical scene. They stared at the souls of these robes with complicated emotions.
There seemed to be an invisible whirlpool in mid-air, and the souls were sucked up by a force and disappeared from sight.
This scene made everyone excited and everyone started talking.
"Have they passed away?"
"Does reincarnation really exist?"
"It turns out that after death, people really
It has a soul, haha, now I am not afraid of death! "
"This Taoist master is so powerful that he can actually make people enter reincarnation. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has such a wonderful person to help you. Why should I, Dashun, worry about not succeeding in a big thing!"
Even Xiang Wentian's face was full of surprise, and he looked at Ye Fangcun with a little more respect.
As all the souls disappeared, Ye Fangcun stopped the movements in his hands, but did not withdraw the Xianyue Sword.
His face was a little pale, and it was obvious that saving so many dead souls had taken a huge toll on him.
Xiang Wentian looked grateful and said, "Master Ye, thank you for your hard work!"
Ye Fangcun took out an elixir and stuffed it into his mouth, then turned to Xiang Wentian and said, "Your Highness, I have a favor to ask of you!"
Xiang Wentian waved his hand and said: "Don't call me Your Highness. Since Sage Chuyi asked you to help me, we will treat each other as brothers from now on. Brother Ye is older. From now on, you can call me by my name. Otherwise, you can ask me to ask." Either Brother Tian or Brother Tian will do!"
Although there is a big gap between Ye Fangcun and Xiang Wentian in terms of strength, he is still a few years older than Xiang Wentian.
Ye Fangcun felt something in his heart when he heard this. It had been a few days since he defected to Xiang Wentian. The Prince Shun was suddenly so enthusiastic, obviously recognizing him.
"It's better to be respectful than obey orders. Wentian, I want to save the generals of Wu and Zhao. Since they are dead, the past rights and wrongs are meaningless. Please agree!" Ye Fangcun said with a pleading tone.
Xiang Wentian's expression was a little solemn when he heard this. He frowned and thought.
