Chapter 1211: Our Own People

s into a sneer and beckoned to Ding Er, "Give me the bow and arrow."Ding'er didn't know what she was going to do, but obediently handed her the bow and arrow.Only then did An Xue Tang's cold eyes fix...That sound instantly changed Xun Wu's expression. He suddenly looked at Mo Yun Jing, nervously saying, "Your Highness, this sound... it sounds like the explosion after gunpowder ignites. Could it be..."

Mo Yunjing brushed himself up and stood, his face darkening as he walked out. "Go take a look."

"Yes."

Mo Yunjing and Xun Wu Gang walked out of the tent, and Yun Liu and Eleven and other Yun family army appeared at the door.

Eleven clearly had rushed over. He clasped his hands together and said, "My Lord, the voice came from within Youlan City. Just now, this subordinate also saw thick smoke shrouding the direction of the city."

Mo Yunjing's face was as dark and gloomy as the sky filled with thick clouds. He glanced towards Youlan City, his voice low and ominous as he ordered, "Yunliu, Yunxi, you two follow me. The rest of the Yun family army, listen up! Thoroughly investigate the military camp and keep a close eye on those individuals."

The crowd of Cloud Alliance soldiers all bowed and chorused, "We obey!"

……

Mo Yunjing, along with Yunliu and Yunxi, as well as several brothers from Xuntang Valley, rode their horses back to Youlan City in a hurry.

The encampment of the defending army was a fair distance from the city where the common folk lived. By the time Mo Yunjing and his company arrived on horseback, a full quarter of an hour had already passed.

And the place where the incident happened had already been surrounded by government officials. The common people didn't know what happened, only that someone had been burned to death. Fearing that they would also be in danger if they stayed, they quickly dispersed.

When Mo Yunjing and the others arrived, besides the officials, there was no one else at the scene of the incident.

Seeing Mo Yunjing and the others finally arrive, the magistrate of Youlan City hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Mo Yunjing. "This official is Chen Changwen, the magistrate of Youlan City. I have met Your Highness."

Mo Yunjing glanced at the man indifferently, his dark voice saying, "What's going on"

"My lord, as soon as I heard of the incident, I rushed here immediately. However, I haven't been able to find out what happened or who set the fire."

Yunliu and eleven others exchanged glances. They were very clear, this situation, and the faint smell emanating at this moment, was definitely not caused by a fire.

This is clearly someone using the explosives their queen developed.

Yun Wu glanced at the corpses lying on the ground. He didn't know what he saw, but his face changed color and he instinctively walked over.

When the magistrate saw that he was dressed in ordinary clothes, not the military uniform worn by Yunliu and others, he instinctively reached out to stop him.

Seeing this, Yunliu immediately rebuked in a cold voice, "Let go, it's our own people."

These officials did not let go, but instead all looked to their governor.

"A bunch of blind fools!" The county magistrate's face darkened as he rebuked them, "You good-for-nothings, get out of the way! Are your ears deaf Did you not hear what the general said"

Upon hearing this, the officials lowered their heads and apologized, quickly making way for him.

Yunliu looked at Xunwuning's solemn expression. He and Shiyi glanced at each other, a hint of worry in their eyes.

Mo Yunjing didn't know what he had guessed, he suppressed the gloom between his brows and followed Xunwu with his eyes.

Only to see Xunwu stop in front of a corpse.

The body was burned beyond recognition, and its condition was truly horrifying. However, Xun Wu still managed to identify the person.

They are Xintang Valley's brothers, even in death, Xintang Valley's brothers still remember the rules of Xintang Valley.

His last gesture was the one that Xin Tanggu made to each of his disciples.

Upon confirming that the deceased was his brother from the Xumutang Valley, he knelt down with a thud.

Yun Liu and Eleven exchanged glances, while Mo Yunjing raised his foot and walked over slowly.

He glanced at the corpse on the ground, "All of them"

Xunwu shook her head slightly, "No, just one."

Mo Yunjing looked at the county magistrate, "What did you find out"

The magistrate hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, the common people who witnessed it with their own eyes all say that at first, two people suddenly started fighting. Then, a group of people came, and there were more and more of them. The other person was injured and almost caught, but no one knows how he did it. Suddenly, a stall burst into flames and there was a loud boom."

After the accident, the arsonist wanted to leave, but another group arrived with many more people to surround him. The man seemed to know he couldn't escape, so he led everyone to one place.

According to eyewitness accounts, the man seemed to have a very powerful package on him. After leading those people to a certain place, he suddenly ignited that package and threw it onto the group of people without warning. Then, in order to prevent them from escaping, he seemed to have used his internal energy to bind them.

“What followed was truly terrifying, according to the people. The package they carried had immense power, instantly dismembering those who were close to it... It was a gruesome sight, worse than being cut into five pieces by horses. Their bodies weren't even whole, and those further away suffered burns.”

At this point, the county magistrate thought back to the bloody scene he had witnessed when he first arrived. He couldn't help but retch. Realizing his behavior was inappropriate, he quickly got down on one knee and apologized to Mo Yun Jing:

"Your Highness, please forgive me. It's not that I disrespect you, but...but the scene was truly suffocating and terrifying."

"The limbs were scattered everywhere, even the viscera lay on the ground. Just the sight was unbearable, let alone the smell... Ugh."

The county magistrate felt that he couldn't think about it anymore. If he continued to think, he would be even more embarrassed in front of the King of Beijang.

Now he was somewhat grateful, grateful that he had arrived before the King of Beijiang came. When he saw such a bloody and horrifying scene, he couldn't help but vomit everything out of his stomach. So now he was just left with dry heaving.

Otherwise, if he vomited anything substantial in front of the King of Beijiang, he would probably be dead.

Mo Yunjing frowned, he glanced around, and said coldly, "Did you process the scene"

The magistrate nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's truly a mess here, with shattered limbs everywhere. Many people were watching at the time. I was afraid that if it wasn't handled promptly, it would cause panic among the populace, so..."

Mò Yún Jǐng did not listen to him finish speaking, but instead looked at Yún Lì and Shí Yī beside him.

Yunliu and Shiyi nodded slightly, then began to examine everything carefully.

Xin Wu had now calmed down, he checked the charred bodies. Unfortunately, there were no clues on them, nor could they tell which side they belonged to.

The magistrate remained kneeling, carefully watching Mo Yunjing's expression. Seeing that Mo Yunjing had a stoic face and didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter of him disposing of the bodies here beforehand, he let out a small sigh of relief.

Before he could even fully let out his breath, who knew that Xunwu would suddenly draw his sword and stab at him.e, no one truly knows what their relationship is like in private."He explained, and An Xue Tang understood. It was normal for a child raised by a stepmother to be lacking in love."Actually, I really...
