Chapter 26

The more Xie Lian listened, the more curious he became.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

He said, "General, I want to ask … …"

However, Ke Mo said, "Don't ask! You guys killed my soldiers. What else do you want to ask? I won't answer. Come fight! "

San Lang said, "I killed them. He didn't do anything. You can answer him and then fight me. "

This really made sense. Ke Mo angrily said, "You guys are all the helpers she found.

It's all the same! "

Xie Lian immediately said, "General Ke Mo.

Are you misunderstanding something? We originally came to this desert to eliminate the Half-moon State Preceptor.

How could you be the helpers she invited?? "

Hearing that he came to eliminate the Half Moon Imperial Tutor, Ke Mo's side fell into silence.

After a while,

He said, "If you guys weren't sent by her, why did you guys kill my soldiers?"

Xie Lian said, "This isn't because you threw us down.

Is that why we had no choice but to protect ourselves? "

"Nonsense," he said sternly.

I didn't throw you guys at all. I clearly caught you just now. You guys were the ones who insisted on jumping down! "

Xie Lian could only say, "Yes yes yes, we were the ones who wanted to jump into the pit. General,

Right now, we're all trapped at the bottom of this pit, so let's temporarily unite. Then why did the Half Moon Imperial Tutor open the door and lead the army to massacre the city? "

How could Ke Mo listen to reason with him?

"You two are too despicable. Hit me together."

Xie Lian helplessly said, "I really only hit you once. I didn't really do anything. "

He didn't mind being called despicable and cunning. If the situation was critical,

Let alone two against one, let alone two against one.

Even if he brought a hundred people to gang up on one, he wouldn't lose face. Who would want to fight one on one? But just now, San Lang clearly had the upper hand even though he was carrying a person.

He also said not to let Xie Lian make a move, but in the end, Ke Mo seemed to think that he could beat him in a one on one fight. Xie Lian really felt depressed for him. However, looking at Ke Mo's personality, his words should be easier to trick. Take it slow, it shouldn't be a problem. However, San Lang didn't have much patience. He leisurely said, "For your soldiers, it's better if you answer him."

Ke Mo said, "They've already been eliminated by you. It's useless even if you use them to threaten me."

San Lang said, "But the corpse is still here."

Ke Mo seemed to be unable to continue lying down. He asked warily, "What do you want?"

San Lang said, "I'll have to ask you then. What do you want?"

Just by listening to his voice, Xie Lian could already imagine the way he narrowed his eyes when he said this. "Do you want them to be safe and sound in their next life, or do you want them to be born into a pool of blood?"

Ke Mo stared blankly at first, then understood. "You?!"

The people of the Half Moon Country attached great importance to funeral etiquette. They believed that they would be the same in their next life as the corpse of the deceased. For example, if he died without an arm, he would be born as a one-armed cripple in his next life. If the corpses at the bottom of the pit were really crushed into a pool of blood, wouldn't it be better to have no afterlife?

This Cui Mo was a pure Half Moon person, so he had to be afraid. As expected, he gritted his teeth for a while in the darkness. After a while, he finally said helplessly, "Don't touch their corpses! They were all brave and good soldiers. It was already very unfortunate for them to stay in this sinner's pit for so many years. Today, they were killed by you. I don't know if this is considered a release. But they definitely can't suffer this kind of humiliation again. "

Pausing for a moment, he then said, "You guys really came to kill Half Moon?"

Xie Lian warmly said, "I'm not lying. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will emerge victorious in every battle. Outsiders know very little about the deeds of the Half Moon State Preceptor, so even if they wanted to deal with her, they wouldn't know where to start. But General Cui Mo, since you've worked with her before, you should be able to give us a few pointers. "

Perhaps it was because they shared a common enemy, or perhaps it was because they had fallen into an abyss that they couldn't climb out of. Sitting on top of the mountain of corpses, Ke Mo temporarily put away his hostility and said, "You don't know why she opened the door to let the Yong An people in? Because she wanted to take revenge on us. She hates the Half Moon Country! "

Xie Lian said, "What do you mean she hates the Half Moon Country? Isn't the Half Moon State Preceptor a Half Moon person? "

Ke Mo said, "Yes. But not completely. She's a mixed-blood, and half of her is from the Yong An people! "

"Ah … …"

As it turned out, that Half Moon State Preceptor was the child of a woman from the Half Moon Country and a man from Yong An. In this border area, the citizens of the two countries loathed each other. This strange couple had an extremely difficult life. After a few years, the man from the Central Plains couldn't bear this kind of life anymore. He left the border and returned to the rich and peaceful Yong An.

Although the two of them had agreed to part ways, not long after, the woman from the Half Moon Country also passed away due to a depressed heart. They left behind a six or seven year old daughter. With no one to take care of her, she grew up starving and hungry. The couple received supercilious looks from others, and the offspring they gave birth to also received supercilious looks from others. The people from the Half Moon Country all had tall statures. Both men and women were strong and lively. But because this girl was a mixed-blood of a different race, she appeared extremely thin and weak among the group of children from the Half Moon Country. As a result, she was often bullied since childhood. Gradually, her personality became more and more gloomy and eccentric. The children from the Half Moon Country didn't play with her, but some of the children from Yong An were still willing to pay attention to her.

When this mixed-blood girl was in her teens, there was a riot at the border. The armies of both sides fought. Many people died in this battle. After that, the mixed-blood girl disappeared.

She originally didn't have any relatives or friends in the Half Moon Country. Even after disappearing for a few years, no one asked about her. However, the next time she appeared, the situation was completely different.

In these few years, she actually traveled thousands of miles. Alone, she passed through the Gobi Desert and walked to Yong An. It was unknown what kind of fortuitous encounter she had there, but she managed to learn an extremely demonic spell. Not only that, she could also control the poisonous creature that the people of the Half Moon Country feared the most — — the Scorpion Tail Snake.

Seeing her return, besides sighing in admiration, there were also some people from the Half Moon Country who felt fear. That was because this girl's personality hadn't changed at all. She was still gloomy and eccentric. In the past, many people from the Half Moon Country had bullied her. Now, she had entered the Imperial Palace and even became a mage with an extremely high status. If one day she wanted to retaliate against them, wouldn't that mean that she would cause trouble for them?

Xie Lian said, "I'm afraid that there will be many people from the Half Moon Country who will speak ill of her."

Ke Mo snorted and said, "Not only will they speak ill of her, they will directly go to the Imperial Palace and speak to the king. They will say that she is an envoy sent by the vicious Scorpion Tail Snake to harm the Half Moon Country and should be hanged. However, none of them succeeded. "

Xie Lian guessed, "Did she take the initiative to hang these people first?"

Ke Mo became even more disgusted. "You, a person from Yong An, how can your brain be filled with such sinister and ruthless thoughts? No! I was the one who protected her. "

Xie Lian helplessly said, "I already said that I'm not a person from Yong An … … Fine, forget it."

At that time, Ke Mo was already a General. Once, he brought his soldiers to encircle and suppress the desert bandits. He also brought along the girl who was a court mage to accompany him.

That group of bandits was very impressive. They had built a nest under the sand, and in that battle, both sides suffered casualties. Ke Mo won, but the battle caused the nest under the sand to collapse. In addition to that, there was a sandstorm, so it wasn't advisable to stay for long. Ke Mo brought a portion of the soldiers to retreat. However, there was still a portion of people, including the mage, who didn't have the time to escape.

After retreating to a safe location and waiting for the sandstorm to pass, Ke Mo once again returned. He wanted to dig up the bodies of the soldiers and bury them. Who would have thought that when he got there, he would discover that the mage had used his own strength to dig a sizable hole in the ground and drag the surviving and injured soldiers inside to take shelter from the sandstorm.

The corpses of the deceased were also dug out and placed neatly. She had done all of this with her bare hands. When they arrived, the mage was covered in blood, but he was still silently guarding the entrance of the cave, kneeling and waiting for them like a small lone wolf.

He said, "After that incident, I felt that she was a good person and did the right thing. She definitely had no intention of harming the Half Moon Kingdom, so I vouched for her and refuted those malicious voices."

In addition, when Ku Mo was young, he had been bullied by his peers because of his weak body. Thus, he could empathize with this young lady and naturally paid a lot of attention to her. The more he paid attention to her, the more he realized that this mage was very capable. Thus, he recommended her all the way and single-handedly sent her to the position of Imperial Preceptor. Just as the later generations recorded, she became the most loyal supporter of the Half Moon Imperial Preceptor.

Until another war broke out, and the Yongan Kingdom sent an army to besiege the Half-moon Kingdom.

Ji Mo said, "The two countries have been at war for a long time and are still locked in a stalemate. She opened an altar to offer sacrifice to the Heavens, saying that she wants to protect our Half Moon's soldiers."

As a result, the soldiers' killing intent soared and their morale was greatly boosted. They defended the city gate to the death. Stray arrows, boulders, boiling oil, swords, swords, killing was endless.

Who knew that this Imperial Preceptor, at the most intense moment of the battle, would suddenly open the city gate.

The city gate was wide open, and tens of thousands of enemy troops instantly rushed into the city. As the armored cavalry trampled over them, the entire city instantly turned into a blood altar!

When Ku Mo, who was in the middle of a bitter battle with the enemy troops, heard that the Imperial Preceptor had opened the city gate, he went mad with anger. No matter how valiant he was alone, in the end, he was powerless to reverse the situation.

Ku Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Only then did I find out that she had long colluded with the enemy country's generals. They arranged to directly let people in at this time. But even if I was destined to die in battle, before I died, I still wanted to kill this traitor!!! Thus, I had a group of soldiers rush up to the city gate tower, grab her, drag her down, and hang her on the sinner's pit. It's hanging on that pole! "

When the army passed through, the entire Half-moon Kingdom turned into a dead country. The generals, soldiers, and Imperial Preceptor who died in battle and were hanged to death. Neither side could leave these ruins, yet they still hated each other.

Xie Lian said, "So, General Ku Mo, you led the Half-moon Army under your command and searched everywhere for the Imperial Preceptor's figure. Every time you caught her, you would once again 'hang' her on the sinner's pit?"

Ku Mo said, "Hanging her a thousand times or ten thousand times wouldn't be too much! That's because she was also everywhere capturing the soldiers under my command who had been demonized, and pushing them into the sinner's pit! She set up an extremely powerful array around the pit. Only she could undo it, and once you fell in, you wouldn't be able to climb back up again. As for me, the soldiers who were betrayed by her and died in battle, my resentment was deep. Only by eating the flesh and blood of the people of Yong An could we dispel the hatred in our hearts and gradually ascend to heaven. Otherwise, we could only howl every night, unable to be freed! "

Xie Lian said, "So, you kept catching people and throwing them down to feed them, right?"

Ku Mo said, "What else could I do? Did you want me to just listen to them cry and howl down there? "

"The people who were thrown down, were they caught by you yourselves, or …?"

"We couldn't leave Half-moon Kingdom too far, but fortunately, her snakes loved to cause trouble. They would often crawl out of the ancient city and bite people everywhere. Those merchant caravans that were bitten would enter the city to find good moon grass."

"That buried surface in the Imperial Palace, was it you guys who buried it?"

"Correct. The person buried in the soil wanted to steal the treasures of the Imperial Palace. However, all of the treasures of our country had been looted clean by the people of Yong An two hundred years ago. "

Xie Lian asked, "Why did you guys just bury him, and not directly throw him down?"

Ku Mo said, "There must be fertilizer to raise the grass. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to control those scorpion-tailed snakes. We also didn't want to encounter those things. "

Xie Lian thought to himself, 'That's not right.'

Since Ku Mo's side would consciously plant good moon grass, and even use living people as fertilizer to raise it, it was clear that even if they were no longer human, their fear towards the scorpion-tailed snakes hadn't diminished in the slightest.

Thus, when they were alive, this fear must have been even greater. Since that Half-moon Kingdom's Preceptor had grasped the great killing weapon of the scorpion-tailed snakes, how could he have been so easily dragged down the city wall and hung to death by a group of soldiers?

According to Ku Mo's explanation, in these two hundred years, they had caught the Preceptor again and again, and the Preceptor had been hung to death by them again and again. In any case, Xie Lian felt that if it was him, with such a killing weapon in his hands, he definitely wouldn't let the enemy have the chance to get close to him.

There was also that scorpion-tailed snake that had crawled out of the ancient city to bite people. Was it an accident? It didn't seem like it. It was more like it was deliberately luring people into the pass. Was that the Preceptor had done it on purpose? Wasn't that the same as opening the door for Ku Mo to capture living people to feed the soldiers? Wouldn't the argument that the two sides were hostile be contradictory?

Then were they pretending to be hostile? But what was the point of pretending to be hostile?

And before all this chaos, there was still a puzzle — the identity of that white-clothed female Crown Prince and her companion. Xie Lian decided to ask a few more questions. "General, when we entered the city, we saw two female Crowns, one black and one white, on the street. Do you know who these two people are?"

Before he could answer, San Lang softly said, "Shh."

Although he didn't know what was going on, Xie Lian immediately stopped talking. A strange intuition made him raise his head and look up.

It was still that square dark blue night sky, and it was still that cold white half moon.

However, next to the half moon, he saw a person in the distance. Half of a black-clothed figure poked out and looked down.

After looking for a moment, that person's half body suddenly turned into a whole body — and jumped down.
