Chapter 826 There Must Be a Secret

Chapter 826 There Must Be a Secret

"We don't know for sure, but according to the veterans at the time, some of them were in poor health to begin with, and they suffered minor injuries that caused them to develop a fever and they died."

"Some of them fell off the cliff by accident, and some of them ate something by mistake in the mountains. They forced themselves to go on stage because they had to compete, which delayed their treatment."

"Anyway, there are many reasons, and at first glance they all seem to be legitimate reasons."

When Brother He heard Lu Zhaoling's question, he told him everything he knew. He actually always felt that the atmosphere of the garrison was not right, and it was getting worse.

In addition, they went to guard Cuosha Village and talked a lot about the massacre in private. They always felt indignant and helpless.

The villagers died tragically, but they were not allowed to bury them, and the families were asked to pay money to transport the bodies of their relatives. In addition, there was a corpse pit in the village...

They always felt that something was wrong, and sometimes the more they thought about it, the colder they felt in their hearts.

Now Prince Jin and Miss Lu are here.

He Ge and others all felt that there was hope.

They felt that this might be the dawn of hope for the southwest garrison.

So if there's anything I can do to help, I'd be happy to help.

"It's just ridiculous."

Lu Zhaoling felt angry when she heard the reasons he gave.

There was no war, but suddenly so many soldiers died. Something must be wrong!

In the garrison camp, the health of the soldiers must be taken seriously. How could so many people die at the same time for so many reasons?

"What didn't General Chiang say at that time?"

"No." He Ge said, "In fact, a few years ago, the barbarians came to ask the garrison for help. At that time, they showed great sincerity and sent a thousand sheep and a thousand animal skins."

He Ge said, "I also heard it from an old soldier. On that occasion, someone from their tribe was lost, and a group of tribesmen went into the swamp by mistake when they were looking for him, so they asked the garrison to help them go in and rescue him."

"That time the general personally led the troops to help. It was said that they brought 200 people and it took more than half a month. But the veteran brother said that when they came back, there were only about 100 people left. He said that the trip was very dangerous."

"The general fell ill after returning from that trip, and he rarely came to the barracks after that."

Qingyin and Qingbao looked at each other.

"Miss, was there a problem that time?"

As they listened, they all felt that the barbarians' request for help was not simple.

"Go back and ask Zhou Shiyue if he has ever heard of this matter." Lu Zhaoling also wanted to wait for Yin Yunting to come over so that she could ask the emperor.

Nearly a hundred soldiers were killed in order to help foreign tribes, and in return they received a thousand sheep and a thousand animal skins. Should this matter be reported to the court?

Or is this account recorded in that booklet?

"Follow me later, don't wander around by yourself."

After walking a little further, Lu Zhaoling suddenly felt a strong yin energy.

It seems to be getting a lot colder around here.

There are many trees here, and it is difficult for sunlight to penetrate. Large tracts of trees surround a small piece of flat land.

Looking at it this way, it seems a little bit abnormal.

He Ge and Lu Yuan both stopped subconsciously.

"Huh? The trees here grow so fast. I remember they were not so lush when I came here before." said Brother He.

Lu Zhaoling raised his hand, signaling them not to move.

The little paper crane flew into the flat ground and suddenly fell to the ground with a plop, as if it had hit something.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Yin Yunting also took Jiang Yongmiao out of the city.

There were indeed people guarding the city gate, and they were clearly looking for Jiang Yongmiao.

If Jiang Yongmiao had not met Yin Yunting, she would have been caught.

Qing Feng and Qing Xiao picked them up and immediately returned to the military camp quickly.

Not long after they left, Jiang Yongyi, dressed in men's clothes, rode his horse straight to the garrison camp with a few personal soldiers.

Lu Zhaoling was standing outside the woods, looking at the little paper crane that had fallen to the ground, and pondered for a moment.

Qing Bao and the others were too afraid to breathe, because they had followed Lu Zhaoling for so long and had never seen such a situation.

Why did the paper crane that was flying so well suddenly fall down and stop moving when it reached there?

They looked around and saw nothing unusual except that the light was dim and a bit chilly.

Besides, it's very quiet around.

It was so quiet that you could hear the slight sound of wind blowing through the leaves.

Lu Zhaoling didn't move, and neither did they.

He Ge and Lu Yuan almost held their breath.

After a while, Lu Zhaoling stretched out his hand and calculated.

After the results came out, she sighed softly and took out two amulets and gave them to Brother He and Lu Yuan.

"Wear it close to your body, don't take it off, don't let it fall off."

Everyone else has it.

Lu Yuan and He Ge took it and put it away carefully.

After Lu Yuan put it in his arms, he pressed it gently.

This time he must protect the talisman well and cannot let the captain take it away again.

He was heartbroken for a long time when Captain Su took the talisman away from him.

"Let's go."

Lu Zhaoling said this and walked in.

Several people quickly followed.

When they reached the open space surrounded by trees, they suddenly saw that the branches around them seemed to be dancing, and there were many strange sounds whistling and screaming in their ears.

Lu Yuan and He Ge's faces changed first, and they almost reached out at the same time to pull Lu Zhaoling out.

But in front of them were Qingyin and Qingbao, and the two maids did not move, so the two of them could only restrain themselves hurriedly.

I looked back at Aoki, but saw that Aoki was pursing his lips, looking very alert, and had no intention of leaving.

Seeing them turn their heads, Qingmu said to them, "Follow closely, listen carefully to orders, and be smart."

"Yes."

The two of them quickly responded.

Lu Zhaoling was walking in front.

She took out a purification talisman, held it between her fingers, and shook her hand gently, and flames burned between her fingers.

When Lu Yuan and He Ge saw this scene, their eyes widened again.

"It's just a sleight of hand, meant to scare people and make them leave. It's okay." Lu Zhaoling said, bending down to pick up the small paper crane on the ground, and saw a small black wet mark on the crane.

There is actually a small spirit-suppressing formation here.

It’s just simple. Some things with mystical arts and spiritual energy coming in will be suppressed.

What is used to suppress it is the refined black dog blood with talismans added to it.

Although simple, it is really useful for the little paper crane she uses to explore the way.

It seems that there is indeed a secret in the back mountain. Otherwise, why would there be so many arrangements for fear of being discovered?

"Miss, can this paper crane not be used?" Qingyin asked.

"Well, it's broken."

Lu Zhaoling burned the little paper crane and walked forward.

The trees in front are like a door, lined up on the left and right.

The branches of the two rows of trees had obviously been trimmed, forming a shape that looked like a ghost waving its hands.
