Lu Yunrui continued," The merchant group also suffered many casualties in this battle. They returned to the Dwarf Race with us to rest. They only came to Peng City with us five days later. However, when they entered the city, they found many heads hanging on the city wall. Later, he found out that the Divine Wind Legion stationed in the city had been dispatched to suppress bandits five days ago. They fought fiercely with the bandits for a night and killed many bandits. Their heads were hung on the city wall for public display. But what I suspect is that the number of people who died in the Divine Wind Legion is the same as the number of people we killed in the Mulberry Valley. Moreover, the missing general is the bandit leader we captured. "At the same time, we also heard that in three small villages in the northwest of Peng City, all the villagers went missing. At that time, I was thinking, could it be that someone was killing good people and taking credit? On the one hand, it was to cover up the ugly behavior of the soldiers and bandits;"On the other hand, we can kill good soldiers and take credit for them. We can find a good excuse for the soldiers we killed. We can stall the investigation from the higher-ups and appease the fluctuating morale of the army to win the support of the soldiers.”
Just as he said this, the old man suddenly sat up and pointed at Lu Yunrui.""So it was you who brought us this disaster. You saved the caravan, but you tricked the villagers of our villages! You, you, you…"
The old man glared hatefully at Lu Yunrui, unable to continue.
Lu Yunrui was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said,""Uncle, it seems like we are the ones who brought this disaster on you?”
"Isn't that so?" the old man said angrily. If you hadn't killed those soldiers, our villages wouldn't have suffered such a disaster.”
"Uncle, you're wrong!" Lu Yunrui said with a smile. Even if we didn't kill those soldiers, the fact that the government troops were disguised as bandits would be exposed sooner or later. At that time, in order to cover up the truth, you will still be sacrificed. Even if it's not your villages, it will fall to other villages. Therefore, you shouldn't hate us. Instead, you should hate those who ordered the government troops to pretend to be bandits. If these people were not eliminated, the people would not have a good life.”
When the old man heard this, it was as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out again, and his body fell limply. Lu Yunrui quickly supported the old man and gently laid him down.
" Uncle, you're already so old," Lu Yunrui said softly." You should have heard and seen many things. You should understand what I just said!"”
The old man nodded silently.
Lu Yunrui continued," Uncle, I'm here to find out the truth of the matter. I want to dig out the mastermind behind the scenes. I want to get rid of a great scourge in the world and avenge the dead villagers!"”
When the old man heard this, he looked at Lu Yunrui in shock.
" It's a pity," Lu Yunrui said solemnly." We've searched all the villages, but we haven't found anything useful." Fortunately, we met an old uncle here. I really hope that old uncle can help us solve this mystery.”
" The people in the three villages were killed," the old man said weakly." I saw them all on the cliff. Other than me, there are no other living people in the three villages.”
"Do you know where they are buried?" Lu Yunrui asked hurriedly.”
The old man nodded.
At this moment, the Wind and Fire Guards came in with two bowls of porridge.
Lu Yunrui stopped him and said to the old man,""Uncle, have some food first. We'll continue after you're done eating.”
After saying that, he reached out his hand to the Wind Guard and gestured for the Wind Guard to hand over the rice.
"Master, let me do it!" the Water Guard said.”
Lu Yunrui smiled and moved aside. The Water Guard immediately took the bowl from the Wind Guard and sat in front of the old man, slowly feeding him.
Lu Yunrui pondered for a moment before waving at the Fire Guard. The Fire Guard came before Lu Yunrui.
"Immediately head to the Dwarf Race and meet the Dwarf King. Ask him to do this and that.”Lu Yunrui instructed the Fire Guards in a low voice, and it actually took quite a bit of time.
"Understood. I'll get it done immediately!"
After hearing Lu Yunrui's instructions, the Fire Guard immediately left.
After sending the Fire Guards away, Lu Yunrui turned around and saw that the old man had already finished his bowl of rice and was looking at him in surprise.
"Uncle, are you feeling better?" Lu Yunrui asked.
The old man did not answer Lu Yunrui's question. Instead, he asked,""Who exactly are you?"
The old man's question made it difficult for Lu Yunrui to answer. He had never met anyone who asked him this question before.
Just as Lu Yunrui was deep in thought, the water guard said,"Grandpa, do you know the Chosen One?”
"I know," the old man said. On this continent, there was no one who did not know the prophecy of the Chosen One.”
The water guard smiled sweetly.”
The old man was shocked.
"Water Guard!" Lu Yunrui was a little displeased and shouted.”
The Water Guard turned around and stuck out his tongue at Lu Yunrui."Master, I often hear others call you that! The Elven King, the Dwarf King, and even the people in the caravan called him that.”
"Aquatic Guard, you're becoming more and more…humane." Lu Yunrui shook her head with a bitter smile.”
The old man didn't understand what Lu Yunrui meant by " humanizing " to the Water Guard, but he already knew who the person in front of him was.
The old man got up and knelt on the brick bed. He kept kowtowing to Lu Yunrui."Greetings, Lord God's Chosen One. I hope that you can forgive my rudeness just now!”
Lu Yunrui quickly went forward to support the old man.""Uncle, there's no need to do this. You can just call me Lu Yunrui or Mr. Lu!”
The old man clung onto Lu Yunrui's arm and said sadly,""Sir, you're here. You're finally here! You have to help us seek justice and avenge the dead villagers of the three villages!”
As he spoke, he could not help but let out a sorrowful cry.
Lu Yunrui hurriedly comforted the old man." Uncle, don't worry. The purpose of my visit this time is to seek justice for those who died. I want those who did evil to receive their due retribution!"”
The old man cried and shouted,"My lord, why did you only come now? Why couldn't you come earlier?!" Poor thing, three villages, more than a thousand people, all gone just like that!”
Lu Yunrui kept consoling the old man, and it was not easy for the old man to stop his sorrowful voice.
After helping the old man lie down again, Lu Yunrui said gently,""Uncle, I've made you suffer these days. Now, you can calm down and take good care of your body. I still need your help to avenge the villagers!”
The old man nodded silently and closed his eyes.
It seemed that the old man must have been in fear for many days. Coupled with the cold and hunger, he had exhausted a lot of energy. At this moment, the burden in the old man's heart was lifted, and he quickly fell asleep.
Lu Yunrui signaled for the Water Guard to stay behind to take care of the old man while he led the Wind Guard outside the house on tiptoe.
" Go to Peng City immediately," Lu Yunrui said to the Wind Guard in a low voice." Ask Boss Qian to find someone to keep an eye on the City Lord's Mansion and the military camp. Pay special attention to the movements of the four people who can mobilize the army." Then, he would find someone to spread the truth about the Mulberry Valley tomorrow morning. Stay in Peng City and keep in touch with me at all times. First, see if the heads hanging on the city wall are still there. If they are still there, take care to protect those heads. Don't let anyone destroy them. If there were no more, he would try to find out the whereabouts of those heads. Also, go to Pingqiao Village and find Liu Xiang. Ask him to bring you to the village chief. Tell him that you have found a survivor and ask the village chief to bring the villagers to Fengqi Village tomorrow morning. If possible, it would be best to ask the village chief to invite people from the nearby villages to come along. The mysterious disappearance of the villagers of the three villages would be revealed tomorrow!”
The Wind Guard nodded and left quickly.
Lu Yunrui left the courtyard and walked far away. He turned on his communicator."Water One, where are you now?”
Water One's voice sounded,"We're still staying in Baotang Town.”
"You haven't left yet?" Lu Yunrui asked.”
Luca's voice came from the communicator.""Boss, you told us to leave, but you went to Peng City yourself. If we leave you like this, won't we be too disloyal?”
Immediately after, the communicator was in a mess. Lu Yunrui could not hear what was being said clearly.
"Stop arguing!" Lu Yunrui roared.
The other end of the communicator immediately fell silent.
"Since no one has left, then forget it.”"Is Du Tong here?" Lu Yunrui asked. Let him answer."
"Master, I'm here. Do you have any orders?" Not long after, Du Tong's voice sounded.
"Do you know Phoenix Village?" Lu Yunrui asked.
"I know. At the foot of the Camel Hump, more than thirty miles northwest of Peng City.”Du Tong replied.
"Good! You and Water One will ride your unicorn and rush over here overnight! Try to get there before dawn!" Lu Yunrui asked.
"No problem! With the unicorn's speed, it would arrive at midnight at the latest!”Du Tong said.
"Alright, then hurry over with Water One. I'll wait for you in the village!”Lu Yunrui said.
There was chaos on the other end of the communicator. Then, Luca's voice came through,""Boss, did something happen? Why don't we go together?"
Lu Yunrui quickly said," Luca, listen carefully. You must not come over. Your mission is to protect the caravan and Du Tong's family." I'll leave it all to you. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible!”
Lu Yunrui turned off the communicator and smiled bitterly.
These days, he found that he had begun to integrate into the lives of the local aborigines. The people and things here made him unable to abandon them. Moreover, he was also gradually accepting the title of 'God's Chosen One' and playing the role of a savior.
Was he really the chosen one in the prophecy? Was he guided by a mysterious force in the Netherworld to come to this planet? Could it be that he really shouldered the sacred mission of leading this continent?
Lu Yunrui looked up at the sky.
In the blue sky, there were a few white clouds floating slowly. In Lu Yunrui's eyes, these white clouds slowly transformed into familiar faces.
Looking at the familiar faces, Lu Yunrui only felt a lump in his throat and his eyes were a little blurry.
Lu Yunrui looked at the sky and muttered,""Reyline, Morgan, Rei, Ishana, are you all alright? The four of you must be very happy in the sky, right? If I can't fulfill my promise to you and bring you back to Earth, will you blame me? I think if you knew that I would save many people here, you wouldn't blame me, right? However, the four of you left together and left me alone. You're too disloyal! Do you know how lonely I am and how much I miss you?”
As she spoke, tears gently rolled down Lu Yunrui's face.
The silent village, against Lu Yunrui's lonely figure, seemed so sad!
