The sun rises in the east and sets in the west in Liujiatun, and the afterglow stays on the top of the mountain and then sets.
In the early morning of the third day, a cowherd boy passed by and saw a scene that would almost give him nightmares for ten days and nights.
Then, the Imperial Border Guards, who were almost crazy because of the mysterious disappearance of an elite unit, also came here and saw the brutal execution ground here.
These soldiers were originally demon kings who were fearless, but at this moment when they faced these colleagues who were treated so cruelly, they felt fear from the bottom of their hearts at that moment.
But after the fear, there was more anger.
They rushed forward, trying to rescue their comrades who had lost all their blood and were frozen into ice sculptures.
But at this time, someone was running all the way and delivered an order that they couldn't accept.
"Everything here must remain as it is!"
The soldiers who had been carried away by anger originally wanted to ignore this order, but the first person who tried to pull out the wooden stake was shot through the back of his hand by an arrow.
"I said, everything here must remain as it is." The man put down the bow and arrow in his hand.
"Your Highness is coming." He said calmly, but there was a slight tremor in his calm voice.
In the Stur Empire, the most powerful beings are of course the imperial armies that once conquered the entire world.
However, after all, there is something more powerful than these most powerful soldiers in the world.
For example, Your Highness.
On the second day after the St army discovered Liujiatun, the legendary His Highness finally arrived here.
His black boots stepped on the frost-covered ground, but no one could see his appearance.
Because hundreds of soldiers who were maintaining order here all knelt down to him in unison, with their hands folded on the ground and their heads pressed against each other.
His Highness, on the other hand, was accustomed to all this, and walked forward on his own, inspecting every kneeling corpse. Then he walked forward into Liujiatun and continued to visit those cruel works of art.
Finally he came out again, gently pressing his temples with his thumbs and kneading them with a slight sigh.
"I want to ask something. Bring the slave trader here first."
The trembling Tang En was brought up. He knelt down on the ground without hesitation and never dared to raise his head again.
"I have read the report you wrote." His Highness said quietly, "But I still want you to repeat what happened that day."
"What does the boy named Su Ziye look like?"
Tang En never thought that he would be involved in a huge storm that far exceeded his imagination. At this time, he could only repeat what he had said countless times before to the noble man in front of him.
This is a record obtained after many interrogations by specialized personnel. Those meticulous memory restoration techniques have made everything that happened in the past few days become Tang En's most solid and detailed memories.
His Highness just listened quietly, and then asked the second question: "Where is the slave girl? What is her origin? What is her name?"
"She was given to me by Chief Su. She has no name." Tang En trembled and said, "She is just very fierce."
"Is she from this village?" His Highness continued.
"I don't know," Tang En said.
"How many times have they done this?" His Highness smiled.
The smile was a bit cruel.
Tang En was frightened by this smile and quickly denied it: "I'm just a businessman, how dare you ask about military men."
His Highness nodded and looked at the soldiers who were kneeling before him: "I also want to ask you a question."
"Those who died here were an entire combat unit of the Imperial Border Guards, a total of 270 people."
"These 270 people disappeared overnight, including officers and combatants at all levels, and appeared here without reporting to their superiors."
"And he was humiliated and killed in this way without any resistance. I want to know what kind of magic method the other party used?"
"Or are you so incompetent that you only dare to wave the butcher knife in your hands against these women and children?"
No officer or soldier dared to speak.
Even if the tone of His Highness is not too angry.
"Then let me make a hypothesis for you." His Highness continued: "If someone appears in your guardhouse that night and orders you to prepare for an attack overnight in my name, will you obey?"
The moment His Highness mentioned this possibility, many smart-minded people thought of this picture and couldn't help but shudder.
"But Your Highness, you would not do such a thing." The chief officer said in a low voice.
"Yes, but I am not the only Highness in the empire." He sighed softly and said, "I think I have caught your tail, but why did you choose to expose yourself?"
He said to himself, then looked in front of him and smiled: "My stupid brother not only brought this combat team here, he even asked each of them in detail about the details of their participation in the massacre."
Saying this, he showed everyone the light golden diamond-shaped cube in his hand: "Although I have never liked this stupid and smart brother, I like his methods very much."
No one dared to refute his words.
Especially when everyone has guessed the identity of the so-called murderer.
"All imperial border guards must be thoroughly investigated. I will give you three days to surrender. After three days, if you do not surrender, I will personally nail you here." His Highness said with a smile.
After His Highness said these words, the head officer moved two steps forward on his knees and called out to His Highness in a bitter voice.
"Do you think I can fill this valley with nails?" His Highness's smile was full of cruelty. His eyes were as bright as gold, and he calmly stared at the subordinate in front of him.
"If I could, I would just have to go on a killing spree."
"The invincible army that was invincible under the hands of the Prime Emperor can now only show off its power against such a group of 'bandits'?"
"In a sense, I probably have my stupid brother to thank for that."
Saying this, he crushed the light golden diamond-shaped cube in his hand.
…
…
The mountains hundreds of miles away were covered with snow.
Su Ziye was sitting on a rock with his forehead propped up, looking at the snowy scene in front of him, and suddenly laughed.
The laughter made the snow fall from the trees.
"Why are you laughing?" A voice like the sound of a urn came from the snow layer.
She was buried in the snow by Su Ziye, and it seemed that she had been there for some time.
"I laugh at my cheap brother who found the tail I left." Su Ziye said lightly: "He has been aloof for so long, and now he will be furious at the surprise I left for him."
"Brother?" Liu Ru was a little curious: "Do you still have a brother?"
"Could it be that I jumped out of a crack in the stone?" Su Ziye asked.
"Is your brother also very powerful?" Liu Ru continued to ask, "Or is he as powerful as you?"
"It's hard to say, after all, he is really a few years older than me." Su Ziye smiled: "He has always wanted to find me and take me back."
"But it's unfortunate." Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru in front of him.
"He'll never find me until I want him to find me."
