After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

"Su Qingcheng, Su Qingcheng, when will you be more selfish..." He murmured, still feeling helpless in his words.

Ye Tantai just sat by the bed and looked at her for who knows how long, until Fu Yi came over and said, "Your Highness, everything is ready. He is the fastest horse in the team. We should be able to get back before dawn."

"Okay, you go out and wait for me." Ye Tantai said.

The matter of the barbarians was really strange, and he was still not at ease. He always felt that there should be some clues found in the mudslide area.

The scope of the rockfall is five kilometers, and there is a small town in the middle. The people there make a living by mining. Although Su Qingcheng had previously sent people to deliver some clothes, food, and money to the victims, he still had to go there in person. , he can feel relieved.

After all, this matter is related to the relationship between the two countries.

Before leaving, Ye Tantai bent down and kissed Su Qingcheng's forehead.

On a dark and windy night, he was wearing night clothes and only took Fu Yi with him. The two of them rode back on their fast horses.

Not long after he left, Su Qingcheng woke up in a daze. She looked at the empty bed, her vision still a little hazy.

"Ye Tantai?" She called tentatively, but no one responded.

"Wuya."

Hearing the call, Wuya climbed in from the window.

"You're awake. You haven't eaten your dinner yet. The prince has asked the kitchen to heat it up for you. I'll bring it to you," Wu Ya said.

"Where are the Ye Tantai people?" Su Qingcheng asked in a hoarse voice.

Judging from the weather, it should be past midnight. Although the two of them are angry now, they won't sleep in separate rooms...

"Your Majesty just went out, but I don't know where he went."

"This fool is fooling around, where can he go..." Su Qingcheng muttered, "Okay, I understand, please bring the dinner."

At the same time, Ye Tantai finally drove on without stopping, and the two of them successfully returned to the mudslide.

"It looks fine during the day, but at night, the shape of the fallen rocks is very strange." Ye Tantai frowned.

Although it can be seen with the naked eye that they are indeed gravels that have fallen from the mountain in front of them, they vary in size, and some even have complete cut surfaces, as if they were broken into pieces from the mountain and then dropped.

Ye Tantai and Fu Yibing split into two groups, one walking to the left and the other walking to the right to observe what was wrong and find a way over the falling rocks.

"Your Highness, there is an opening here." Fu said.

Ye Tantai walked towards him. The surrounding gravel seemed messy, but it did seem to have left another road for people to pass. The two of them walked along this road and saw the mountains at the foot of the hillside. A small town.

"I think the things the princess sent earlier must have been taken away by them." Fu Yi said when he saw the footprints on the road and the traces of the box.

With that said, he was about to continue walking down.

"and many more!"

Ye Tantai stopped him. Under the moonlight, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with this small town. The torch in his hand flickered on and off. This small town was so quiet that it felt a bit scary.

Although it was night, there were no lights here, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air... which made people shudder.

Fu Yi felt something was wrong after being stopped by Ye Tantai, so he did not leave anymore, but followed him. Ye Tantai cautiously pulled out the sword from his waist and held it in his hand.

"Follow me to prevent anything from happening later."

With him in front and Fu Yi behind, the two of them walked cautiously towards the town.

When they reached the city gate, the two realized that these were not Ye Tantai's illusions. The city gate opened wide, and blood and water mixed with soil flowed out from the city.

This place has become a dead city.

Ye Tantai withdrew his sword, because there was no threat here. He stepped on the ground filled with blood. Even though he had seen too many fights on the battlefield, he was still shocked for a moment.

The corpses of the people in the city were scattered all over the streets. They seemed to be chatting one moment, and the next moment they were dead.

He even saw the bedding left by Su Qingcheng on several people...

Such a large-scale, organized operation to destroy the city was truly tragic.

"Your Highness, the flint in the city has disappeared." Fu said.

"After you go back, quickly check if there is any new killer organization in the world." Ye Tantai said coldly.

Brutally killing innocent people, no matter which country he belongs to among the Three Kingdoms, he does not want this kind of organization to exist for a long time.

"Didn't you say it was done by barbarians?" Fu Yi said.

Ye Tantai knelt down and gently closed the eyes of a common man whose head was missing. His hand touched the neck of the common man's head, and the wound was smooth.

It is not difficult to see that the killer is a complete master of swordsmanship.

"The barbarians use big knives, and they generally don't make wounds like this." Ye Tantai's voice lowered, and his eyes became dark.

In order to have such a large number of people and each have this ability, he could only think of one organization...

But he hoped he was overthinking it.

"Send someone to send a message to Dongling and ask them to collect the bodies for the people." Ye Tantai stood up and walked out of the city gate, wiping the blood on his hands as he walked.

It was just dawn when the two returned to the inn, and Su Qingcheng had already finished dressing and was about to get into the carriage.

When she saw Ye Tantai hurried back, a flash of worry flashed in her eyes. The dark blue under Ye Tantai's eyes was very obvious, and she couldn't sleep all night just by looking at it.

Ye Tantai didn't want her to smell the blood on his body, so he deliberately kept an arm's length distance from her.

"I have to go on a journey today." He said softly.

Su Qingcheng hesitated to speak. Why couldn't she not see Ye Tantai's actions of distancing herself from her? She said calmly: "Well, you haven't returned home all night, so come to the carriage and rest for a while."

"No need," Ye Tantai refused. There was no time to change his clothes. "There is a shortcut and we can get back to Nanye around midnight."

"it is good."

Su Qingcheng, who was rejected, said nothing more and got into the carriage alone.

Fu Yi looked at the tired Ye Tantai and said, "Your Highness, the princess should want to take the initiative to seek peace."

"I know, but I don't want her to know about the massacre of the city. Those people suffered natural and man-made disasters one after another. I'm afraid that if she finds out, she will feel guilty about why she didn't get out of the car at that time." Ye Tantai said.

He didn't know what Su Qingcheng would think. If they had gone in at that time, they might have prevented this disaster.

"Don't mention it in front of her either," Ye Tantai ordered.

"My subordinates know."

The large army rushed back to Nanye before Zishi.

Since they came back too late, they bypassed the street and went directly to the palace. Gu Huoyan had already lived in the palace for a long time, so the accommodation arranged for them was naturally also in the palace.

Su Qingcheng looked at the familiar palace walls on both sides and was filled with emotion.
