Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 174 Turks

How much? How much? Ten thousand years!

Song Chunlin thought he had heard it wrong, so he cleaned his ears and asked again, but Dabao's answer was still ten thousand years.

Song Chunlin fell into deep self-doubt.

If he went to one of the parallel time and space, wouldn’t the time difference between the two parallel time and space be too big? Moreover, the difference in geographical conditions between the two worlds is not small. Regarding this question, Dabao’s answer is still the same.

"Parallel universes are just small worlds derived from different choices in each world. It is normal for them to be different."

Okay, since Dabao said so, what else can Song Chunlin do but accept it.

Gu Fengyue looked at the changing expressions on his face and thought he was feeling unwell, so she reached out and touched his forehead.

Song Chunlin: "......"

"You don't have a fever. What were you thinking about just now? You were so engrossed."

"Nothing, how long will it take us to get to the border."

Gu Fengyue: "It will take five days at the fastest and eight days at the slowest, if the rest of the journey goes smoothly."

This time, the Turks besieged Haihe River, which was the closest to Linyuan City. Haihe River was not a city, but a continuous mountain range. Seven or eight small cities of different sizes at the foot of the mountain formed a residential area.

General Qi was in charge of guarding the largest city called Bai Ta. Bai Ta covered the largest area, so when the Turks attacked, some of the scattered people living nearby would subconsciously flee to Bai Ta for shelter.

The town that Da Sima was guarding was the least conspicuous one among them. It was also this town that had been breached before. It was located on the edge of the Haihe Mountains. The conditions were not the best, and the resources were not the most developed. Zhu Chengyu chose this place with a fluke mentality. He did not expect that the enemy would specifically choose this small town to practice, and Zhu Chengyu was so scared that he fled overnight.

When approaching the Haihe River, Gu Fengyue sent scouts to check, but the news they brought back was not optimistic.

Anyone who has read history knows that since ancient times, the Hu people have treated the Han people like pigs and dogs. This can be seen from the most notorious Five Barbarians Invasion of China in history, but the real situation was even more inhumane.

"The Turks not only burned, killed, and looted the city wantonly, but also abducted young women and took them back to humiliate them. What's worse, they even cut open the abdomens of children a few months old and took out their hearts, because their Khan liked to use the hearts of young children as sacrifices the most..."

Just listening to it made people feel physically uncomfortable. Song Chunlin thought he had seen the horrors of the end of the world, but he didn't expect that even if there was no end of the world, there would be humans who would treat their own kind so cruelly.

After hearing the scout's reply, the crowd's anger could not be quelled for a long time, and people kept asking for permission to take the Khan's head.

However, Gu Fengyue disagreed: "Not to mention that the Khan is not in Haihe at all. Even if he is in Haihe, how can he be without experts by his side? If you go now, you will just die in vain. The most important thing for us now is to meet up with General Qi first. As for those Turks, don't worry, I will definitely not easily forgive the thieves who invade our territory."

After sending off the deputy generals, Song Chunlin dared to ask Gu Fengyue: "If we can really kill the Khan, will the war be over?"

Gu Fengyue shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If only it were that easy. You have to understand that where there are people, there will be disputes. They have repeatedly invaded our Dajing, not just for food, but more importantly, they want to turn the people of Dajing into their slaves. So as long as they have a chance, they will still go to war with Dajing. If you kill one Khan, there will be another Khan. The Khan has a son, and the son has a grandson. People's desires and ambitions can never be eliminated. My brother once said that my father taught him when he was alive that if your enemy is strong, then you must be stronger than him, so strong that you can knock him down and never get up again. Otherwise, once the other party gets a little breath, he will counterattack madly."

When Gu Fengyue said this, he didn't know what he was thinking about. He stared at Song Chunlin and warned him fiercely: "Behave yourself and don't run around like you did in the capital. It's very chaotic outside now."

Song Chunlin was very unconvinced: "How could I run around randomly? I was running with a clear goal in mind. Just tell me how long they would be in chaos if we killed their Khan?"

Gu Fengyue didn't want to answer this question, so Song Chunlin simply released his mental power and tried to search for where the Khan was. In the end, he helplessly discovered that the distance was indeed a bit far.

Fortunately, he could also see the whole picture of the small town. The scene inside was even more terrifying than the scouts described. The originally clean and tidy streets were now littered with scattered limbs and arms. Some pedestrians numbly gathered the broken limbs together, not caring who they belonged to. They gathered them into a pile and set them on fire.

In addition to the dead, most of the people were gathered in an open area. Song Chunlin glanced casually and saw that they were mostly young people, with very few children. It was estimated that the elderly and children had all been killed.

Young and strong men were arranged to do hard labor, while older and unattractive women were responsible for doing odd jobs and cooking. Those who were slightly attractive, regardless of gender, boys or girls, and even men with delicate looks, were also imprisoned in some large rooms for the Turks to play with at will.

Song Chunlin looked at the eyes of those people, numb, desperate, or deadly.

A young man was lying naked on the ground, his body was in a mess and covered with whip marks. It was obvious that he was whipped because he refused to obey.

Injured and insulted, the boy was breathing more than breathing in. The Turks dragged him out nonchalantly and threw him into a mass grave, leaving him to slowly die on top of a pile of corpses.

Song Chunlin suddenly withdrew his mental strength. He couldn't bear to watch any longer.

After calming down, Song Chunlin slowly closed his eyes again. He withdrew the mental power that had been shrouding the boy outside. All the mental power turned into a sharp spike, which pierced straight into the heads of the two Turks who had just dragged the boy out.

After the two men finished throwing the toys, the young man was walking back when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if someone was stabbing his head with a knife. They both rolled on the ground in pain, holding their heads and crying.

The movements of the two men soon attracted a crowd of people to come and watch. A Turkic soldier wanted to go forward to check on them, but soon, the two men stopped moving. Their faces were hideous and they were actually dead.

The two men died in a horrific way and the cause of death was unknown, which made the surrounding Turkic soldiers feel a chill in their backs.
