At this moment, I finally understood why his eyes looked at me so strange when I just told me whether the truth was difficult for him to speak of.

It turned out that it was not that he could not speak, but that I could not accept it.

The commander of the Longxi Army, surnamed Zhu!

The same surname as my mother!

I just felt that my breathing was about to stop, and my whole body seemed to be staring at him blankly. After a long time, I repeated the hoarse voice: "Submit Zhu?"

"Yes."

"With us——, the royal family of the previous dynasty, the same surname?"

Yu Wenying took a deep breath and said, "To be precise, they are also a member of the royal family."

“…”

"But they did not participate in the struggle for the power center. It seems that my grandfather and the others said that it is because this group of people are particularly good at fighting, but are indifferent to fame and fortune, just like His Highness of the King of Qi back then, and at that time, the northwest border was even more unstable than it is now, and the Eastern Chaga tribe often invaded and disturbed, so this group of royal families of the previous dynasty was stationed in the northwest, and over time, the Longxi Army was formed."

“…”

"They are also one of the Eight Pillars Kingdoms!"

“…!”

I looked at him in shock, almost unable to believe my ears.

It turned out that one of the eight pillars of the previous dynasty actually had the blood of the royal family. In other words, some of the dead bones buried under the calm lake in front of me may be my distant relatives!

I murmured, "I know why all of them can afford such excellent chain mail."

Since it is the army of the royal family, it is naturally directly assigned to the emperor. Their military expenditure is different from other armies. Only such an army can everyone be equipped with chain mail!

But this makes the problem even more strange.

Why does such a team have excellent equipment, strong combat power, and even the blood of the royal family, be destroyed overnight, and even the slightest record in history books?

If you don't really encounter a ghost, then it's-

There is a ghost in this matter!

However, it is difficult to find the answer to the twists and turns in this. After all, even those like the Yuwen family who care about the Longxi Army are concerned about it, and there are almost no records of writing in history books.

I thought for a while and asked, "Then, what is His Majesty the Emperor's attitude towards the Longxi Army?"

Yu Wenying looked at me and said with a cold smile: "This, I'm afraid I'm going to ask the emperor yourself. I don't dare to speak."

“…”

"Although the emperor did not stop me from coming to pay tribute, he seemed to be very taboo about the Longxi Army."

“…”

I can feel it, too.

Pei Yuanhao's last lord wine in the imperial tomb was actually in the direction of the burial of the Longxi Army. In other words, he sacrificed the Longxi Army in the imperial tomb, but his taboo to the Longxi Army - is it really as the old man on the street that night that night that the construction of the imperial tomb was to suppress evil spirits and suppress the unjust souls here?

If the Longxi Army buried here is really all unjust souls, then who will make them die unjustly?

The surroundings became colder and colder, and the moonlight in the lake seemed to condense into frost.

I slowly reached out and hugged my arm, but still couldn't resist the coldness that was invading from all directions. Yu Wenying looked at my white face and sighed and said, "Miss Yan, you should go back and rest earlier."

Although it was really a little cold, and even my hands and feet were cold, I still had no intention of leaving. Instead, I stood silently by the cold-soaked lake for a while before asking him: "Mr. Yuwen, what do you want to do next? Do you want to pay tribute here?"

"The memorial service is naturally to be memorialized."

"Then, what else?"

“…”

He looked at the lake and didn't say anything for a long time. I thought of a possibility and said softly: "You don't want to dive to the bottom of the lake and see what's going on below, right?"

“…”

He didn't say anything for a moment, but after a moment of silence, he shook his head: "This is difficult."

"oh?"

"I heard that this place was a deserted and lonely, even a little terrifying earthen city. Since the Longxi Army was buried here, not many people dared to come here. Moreover, the terrain of this place is also very strange. It seems that there are many crypts under the ground, so that so much water suddenly pops up in such a season, turning this radius of several miles into a lake. However, after the water recedes, nothing is left."

"Nothing left? Even those-"

"Yes, even the skeletons are gone. Many people, like His Royal Highness, saw the shadow of the skeleton on the lake, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye. When the water receded, it was even more desolate and could not even see the shadow of the skeleton."

“…”

"So, although many people have been here and seen ghost towns in the water, they have never really seen them, and no one can find the whereabouts of those corpses."

"Oh..., there is something like this?"

I was slightly shocked. This was the first time I heard of such a strange thing.

I thought about it and turned to look at him: "Do you want to wait until the water recedes?"

“…”

He didn't speak, but when I looked at his expression, it seemed to be accusation.

I immediately frowned: "But when will you go? And didn't you say that after the water recedes, everything under the water will disappear? Then how do you look for it?"

Could it be that I could get into the ground?

He obviously thought of this, and his brows frowned even tighter.

"Besides-" I still kept in mind one thing: "That Xie Feng, he has also arrived here."

As soon as Xie Feng was mentioned, Yu Wenying's face sank slightly.

I said, "Do you think he can find this?"

Yu Wenying pondered for a while and said, "I heard that he pretended to be captured, and then escaped from prison before you all left, and then followed your team to the imperial tomb."

"Um."

"His purpose is obviously also this place. This man is very scheming, more than I imagined."

“…”

"He wants to do one thing, he will definitely be able to do it."

"But, we almost died here with such a huge wind and sand before, and he was alone-"

Yu Wenying shook his head gently: "He should say that Xie Datong and the others are far away from the Central Plains and have been in the Eastern Chaga tribe for so many years. Now that he is asking him to come back, this is obviously one of his goals. I think he will not die easily before he achieves this goal."

When I heard him say this, my mood became heavier.

A familiar feeling rose from my heart. When I thought about it carefully, it was when I was in Jixiang Village that year, I knew that there was a group of people peeking at my life, but I couldn't find those people.

Could it be—

I turned to look at the vast and endless lake.
