It's a pity that Hu Yantao didn't have the chance to say the last sentence, so he could only die with his eyes open.

After his death, his body instantly turned into a ball of black blood, and his abdomen was filled with a pile of black hard lumps of crushed ice.

A small black snake squirmed randomly in his brain.

Cheng An quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out the white powder inside and sprinkled it on the little black snake.

The little snake instantly turned into black water.

"Haha, Hu Yantao is finally dead." Tao Zhuoyu shouted happily.

Others also smiled.

Tao Haoting staggered, and he looked much older in an instant. The mighty and domineering look on his body also faded a lot, and there was a peaceful look in his eyes.

For Dayu these years, he didn't dare to slack off even if his children and grandchildren died in battle, he didn't dare to grieve too much.

The disaster brought by the Beixiong people to Dayu was not eliminated day by day, and he could not sleep peacefully.

Now, Beixiong was defeated miserably, and he would not be able to attack Dayu again in his lifetime.

His responsibilities in this life have been fulfilled.

From now on, he will take off his armor and return to his fields, and live out the rest of his life peacefully.

Ye Nitang supported him and looked at his white hair, filled with high respect for such a selfless old hero.

She took out a bright green bead and fed it into Tao Haoting's mouth, "This is a sugar pill."

"Haha," Tao Haoting bit into the ball, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, "Sweet, so sweet."

As he spoke, he patted Ye Nitang's head lovingly.

Suddenly, a young general galloped over on horseback.

"General, it's bad, those Beixiong prisoners of war are crazy!"

Everyone's relaxed mood suddenly became tense again.

They all called their horses and ran towards the main city gate.

After the Beixiong army surrendered, Tao Haoting had all their weapons and supplies confiscated, and their general was tied up and imprisoned.

The women, children and old people were locked up in their original camps and soldiers were posted to guard them.

As for the young and strong ones, Cheng An brought some cartilage powder, fed them, and locked them in a den outside the city gate.

He planned to wait until he found the real Hu Yantao and then report the matter of the prisoners of war to the court for the emperor to deal with.

The group left Taojiacheng and ran to the Beixiong Prisoner Camp ten miles away.

The women, teenagers and old people in Beixiong are similar to zombies in the apocalypse. Their eyes are hollow and dark, their bodies are stiff, and they walk extremely fast.

They were wrestling with each other, grabbing each other's necks and biting each other, completely dehumanized.

The Dayu soldiers guarding them held shields and steel swords and backed away in horror.

"That demon Hu Yantao bewitched them all."

Tao Zhuoyu cursed bitterly.

Ye Nitang was also shocked, if she hadn't discovered Hu Yantao's existence today.

When Tao Jiajun relaxed his vigilance and let in all the Beixiong prisoners of war, he then manipulated these people to attack the people of Dayu.

The consequences are unimaginable.

Shen Shi stared at those Beixiong people who bit and then ate their flesh and blood, and the hairs all over his body stood up.

"Uncle, what should we do now? How should we deal with these people?"

Tao Haoting regained his majestic and domineering look, staring coldly at the crazy Beixiong people, "Bring in kerosene and burn it for them, leaving no one behind."

"Burned? So many people were burned?" Shen Xining felt pity in his heart.

There were at least 50,000 people in front of him, and they were all Beixiong's most pitiful slaves.

He has never been able to decide his own life, and now he has become a prisoner of war and has been poisoned by Hu Yantao. It is really pitiful.

Ye Nitang said indifferently, "They are no longer human, and living is painful."

The symptoms of these people are similar to those of poisonous bees, and there should be a poisonous insect in their brains.

Because the Hu Yantao who controlled them died, they would become restless and cause the person who was possessed by the poison to become abnormal.

Only death is liberation.

Cheng An, Tao Zhuoyu, Zhao Mang and others quickly brought the fire oil balls.

After lighting it, he threw it over and burned it together with the tents where the Beixiong people lived.

Listening to the heart-rending roars in the fire, everyone looked solemn.

The fire burned for three days and three nights before all the people who had been poisoned were burned.

There were no abnormalities among the more than 10,000 strong men imprisoned in the valley and the more than 1,000 deputy generals in Beixiong.

Ye Nitang was worried and took the military doctor to check them one by one. Fortunately, none of them were infected.

After everything calmed down, Tao Haoting compiled the whole process of Beixiong's invasion and everyone's merits and demerits into a book and sent it to the capital.

Then it's time to wait for the court's treatment of the prisoners of war and the awards for those who have made meritorious deeds.

Originally, Ye Nitang's birthday on the twenty-eighth day of the winter lunar month ended with a hasty cooking of a delicious meal due to Ye Jiaxing's injury and the incident of being a prisoner of war.

Time flies, and at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Xining celebrates her 21st birthday.

The war with Beixiong was over, and everyone in the Tao family camp was idle.

Tao Haoting arranged for people to prepare her birthday banquet on the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

At the same time, different people sent gifts to the Tao family camp, and Cheng An piled them all in the small independent courtyard where Xiao Shi once lived.

It's just that those gifts didn't explicitly say they were for Shen Shining.

Song Zhiyan, who was sitting quietly in the backyard, became increasingly panicked.

I always feel like something bad is happening.

As for Shen Xining himself, he also felt that those gifts came out of nowhere.

In addition, the entire military camp was saying that Fu Jinyang had colluded with Hu Yantao, saying that he was a spy in Beixiong and a traitor in Dayu.

She defended Fu Jinyang, but the military officers also looked down upon her.

All the prestige and goodwill she had accumulated in the army were lost.

She could only take Ye Nitang to hunt in the snowy fields outside the pass.

Ye Nitang has no shortage of wolf skins, fox furs, etc., but he has no interest in hunting.

He took her, accompanied by Cheng An and others, to the top of the snow-capped mountains in the Beixiong plateau to pick snow lotus flowers.

Shen Xining kept saying that Brother Fu was not a spy along the way.

Ye Nitang was so disgusted that he didn't want to talk to her, if Cheng An hadn't taken her mobile phone video of Fu Jinyang entering Beixiong Camp and sent it to the capital.

She must show it to her.

"There is no smoke without fire. If he pretends to be poisoned and runs away, he is not a good person. You should stop thinking about it as soon as possible. Don't fall in love with the wrong person and regret it later."

"No, I believe him. His kindness to me is not fake."

Shen Xining always believed in Fu Jinyang.

"Then what should I say if he took away my father's life-saving leather jacket?"

"Aunt Yan, let's not talk about it. She saw how pitiful Fu Jinyang's injury was, so she willingly gave it to him. However, he did not do it right."

Speaking of this matter, Shen Xining lost confidence.

Brother Fu himself has a soft hedgehog armor, how could he take Uncle Ye's life-protecting clothes?

"What's wrong? I think he is heinous," Ye Nitang lazily continued the topic with her, "When your birthday comes the day after tomorrow, it's time for me to leave. Do you want to go to Liuhe Town with me?"

Although Shen Xining is a bit love-minded, she is still good at heart.

She didn't want Shen Xining to return to the capital to see with her own eyes the consequences of Fu Jinyang's treason.
