The scene at Xishikou perfectly explains what a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood are.
The executioner swung the knife numbly, beheading, ending one life after another.
Blood flowed and stained the earth. Later, someone discovered that for half a year, there was a lingering stench in Xishikou. Later, the court sealed off this area, dug out all the soil, and replaced it with new soil. The smell dissipated only after the stone slab was used.
The surrounding people and businesses can often hear the sound of ghosts crying and howling at night, which is very scary.
Some warlocks say that this is because the ghosts of the traitors cannot be reincarnated and are not even accepted by the underworld. They can only float around and become lonely ghosts.
At that time, the people were so frightened that they jointly paid for warlocks to exorcise ghosts, but they found that it was of no use.
Later, the court discovered that the so-called howling of ghosts and wolves was the sound of the wind blowing through a small alley at night. After blocking the small alley with a wall, the sound disappeared.
Back to the subject, Jiang Lan took the Lingchi knife and cut Mingxuan's flesh one by one. At first, Mingxuan screamed in pain, but later, he didn't even have the strength to scream, and he hung his head and said nothing. throat.
Afraid that he would die if he could not hold on, he gave him a bowl of millet porridge at noon to keep him alive.
Some of those who were beheaded cursed Nie Chen loudly for a good death, some cried bitterly and begged, and some were so frightened that they collapsed into a ball and were dragged to beheaded.
By nightfall, when all those people had been chopped down, Jiang Lan felt that revenge was enough, so he stabbed Mingxuan in the heart and killed him.
At this time, there was no good piece of meat left in Mingxuan's body.
Mingxuan's body was thrown into a carriage, dragged outside the city, poured into a pit, burned on fire, and buried on the spot.
The crowd dispersed and everyone went back to their homes.
After Nie Chen returned home, he told the commanders to organize the army, prepare military supplies, and send troops tomorrow to attack King Andong.
That night, Nie Chen had a peaceful sleep, and early the next morning, he began to make arrangements for everyone.
Jiang Lian stayed in the palace, waiting for the emperor to return and rejoin the court as an official.
Jiang Lan will be taken away by Nie Chen and protected closely.
Nie Chen wanted Weng Qiuchan to stay in the palace, but Weng Qiuchan insisted on following Nie Chen and going on an expedition with him.
However, while eating breakfast, Weng Qiuchan suddenly started retching non-stop. She couldn't eat any food and looked very uncomfortable.
Nie Chen was shocked when he saw this, and quickly walked over to help pat Weng Qiuchan on the back, and then said to Zhou Long,
"Hurry up and call Li Yuanjun. She probably hasn't gone to the military camp yet. Ask her to come over and see what's going on with Madam and what's wrong with her."
"yes!"
Zhou Long ran out quickly.
Weng Qiuchan held her chest, waved her hands and said,
"It's okay. It's not a big deal. Maybe I was a little disgusted by the beheading yesterday. Now I can't eat when I think about the bloody scene. Just take it slow and you don't need to call Yuanjun."
"Come on, you also came from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. How many dead people have you seen? How could you not be able to bear this? You must be sick. If you are sick, you need to see a doctor."
"Pull him down. I'm as strong as a cow. I can kill three of you with one punch. How can I get sick?"
Weng Qiuchan was stubborn and refused to admit it. She was afraid that Nie Chen would use this as an excuse to not take her to the war.
Not long after, Li Yuanjun came over and asked,
"What's going on? Are you sick?"
Weng Qiuchan said quickly,
"I'm not sick, I just felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach all of a sudden. It's not a big deal."
"You must be sick. Don't deny it. If you are sick, you should take medicine."
Nie Chen's attitude was even firmer.
"If you are sick, can you let me take a look and let me know?"
Li Yuanjun rolled his eyes and sat down.
"Reach out."
Weng Qiuchan honestly stretched out her wrist, then winked at Li Yuanjun and said,
"I'm not sick, I'm not sick."
Seeing her suggestive look in Nie Chen's eyes, he couldn't help but chuckle and ruffle her hair.
After Li Yuanjun felt the pulse, he frowned slightly and looked a little confused. Then he reached out and continued to feel the pulse.
After a while, Weng Qiuchan was asked to change his other hand and continue to feel the pulse.
This process was quite long, and everyone around me was getting impatient while waiting.
Finally, Li Yuanjun took his hand away and said calmly,
"It's true that I'm not sick."
Weng Qiuchan breathed a sigh of relief and said,
"Look, let me tell you, I'm amazing and in good health. How could I get sick?"
"Then what's going on? Why do you feel sick all of a sudden? Did you eat something bad?"
Nie Chen asked.
Li Yuanjun looked nonchalant and said,
"It's not a big deal, it's just a good news. I'll just prescribe some medicine to support the baby."
"Are you... are you happy? Are you raising a baby?"
Nie Chen was stunned on the spot.
"You mean, I'm pregnant?"
Weng Qiuchan also widened his eyes and asked in disbelief.
"What? Isn't it normal? You are already twenty-one years old, and you have long reached the age where you can get pregnant normally. You and Nie Chen are both in normal health, and you are shamelessly having sex as a couple every day. What is the problem if you don't get pregnant? , pregnancy is normal.”
Weng Qiuchan nodded blankly, and then saw Nie Chen still standing there blankly, and couldn't help but pouted and said dissatisfiedly,
"What? You look very unhappy. You don't want me to get pregnant? Don't you want this child?"
Nie Chen suddenly realized it, turned to look at Ouyang Ming, and said in a daze,
"Ouyang, my wife is pregnant, and I'm going to be a father."
"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, Madam."
Ouyang Ming smiled and cupped his hands.
Nie Chen grinned, hurriedly sat down next to Weng Qiuchan, took her hand, put it on his face, and said,
"Let me touch it. Is it true that I am really going to be a father? My wife is going to give birth to a baby?"
Seeing his silly look, Weng Qiuchan burst into laughter.
"Silly."
Nie Chen stretched out his hand, placed it on Weng Qiuchan's lower abdomen, touched it, and said,
"Why don't you feel it?"
"Get out of here, how long has it been?"
Weng Qiuchan rolled her eyes and said.
Li Yuanjun asked,
"When was the last time you had your period?"
"Ah? Do you have to ask this too?"
"Absolutely. We need to calculate the baby's pregnancy date and the date of delivery. We have no way of knowing when he will appear. We can only calculate it through menstruation."
"Well, about this time last month?"
"Did it come at this time or end?"
"Is it over? At that time, they should still be fighting Wang'an County, right?"
"Hmph, a war won't stop you two from having a baby."
Li Yuanjun rolled his eyes and glared at Nie Chen, his eyes full of contempt.
