Chapter 153: The Bones Of War Will Be Exposed In Daylight.1

The night was long, the city was far away, the trees were pale and the twilight was dark. In front of a cave, several soldiers were carefully searching for someone with torches in their hands. After confirming that there was no one there, a soldier rushed out of the cave and knelt down on one knee in front of a General on horseback: “Reporting to General Yang! There’s no sign of the enemy’s Emperor, Yan HeQing, in this cave!”

General Yang, whose name was Yang Liye, frowned and coldly asked: “Have you searched every inch of the cave? Every cup of soil, every blade of grass? If there’s any spot unchecked, your stupid head won’t be on top of your shoulders anymore. It will be on the grass and used as a ball for the horses to play with, since it’s useless anyway.”

The kneeling soldier clenched his hands and replied: “Replying to General Yang, I’ve searched everywhere.”

“Alright then. Let’s go to the next cave.” Yang Liye pulled the reins of his horse tightly and turned the horse’s head around to leave.

However, before he could move, a General beside him asked him in a low voice: “General, perhaps after falling off the cliff, the Emperor of the Southern Yan Kingdom ended up getting eaten by wild dogs, and no bones were left behi-?”

Before the General could finish his words, he was whipped by Yang Liye’s horsewhip, making him immediately shut up and sweat in fear.

Yang Liye glanced at him and replied: “Even if the Emperor of the Southern Yan Kingdom was eaten by a wild dog, and only one finger bone was left behind, you must find that finger bone for me; so that we can tell the world about it, and then we will bury that bone. Stop talking bullshit and speed up the progress of the search.”

Right at that moment, Yang Liye suddenly saw the corpse of a Southern Yan soldier leaning against the cliff in front of him.

The cliff had just experienced a vicious battle, so it wasn’t a surprise to see a corpse like this. Yang Liye simply rode past the corpse, completely expressionless. Once he passed the body, he whipped it, making it fall unsteadily on the road. Then, Yang Liye deliberately pulled the horse’s head, letting the horse step over the corpse. Yang Liye had a satisfied and penetrating smile on his face, as he led the Eastern Wu Kingdom’s army to continue looking for the body of the Emperor of the Southern Yan Kingdom, Yan HeQing, near the cliff.

…

From a distance, two dark shadows were hidden behind the leafy branches of a tree, watching from afar what Yang Liye had just done. At this, that dark shadow couldn’t help but curse: “Motherfucker.”

After the army of the Eastern Wu Kingdom had disappeared from their sight, the two shadows climbed down from the tree. As they climbed down, Chen Ge said: “The Eastern Wu Kingdom won’t stop until the Emperor is found. They were afraid of being defeated by His Majesty before, right? It wasn’t easy for them to successfully ambush our elite troops, so they’re desperate to kill everyone. Physician Xiao, we have to find His Majesty before they do.”

“Mmm-hmm.” Xiao YuAn nodded.

“They’ve already searched the caves behind us, so we must move forward.” Chen Ge climbed down the tree and planned to go around the mountain stream path, so that they would be ahead of the Eastern Wu army. At this proposal, Xiao YuAn didn’t have any objections.

Once they started walking, and passed by the trampled corpse, they stopped at the same time. The corpse of the Southern Yan soldier, that was mercilessly trampled on by the horse’s hooves, was so deformed that it was hard to see what the man used to look like.

Chen Ge sighed a long sigh, dragged the corpse towards an uninhabited path, and casually dug up a pit, fearing that Xiao YuAn would be in a hurry. However, when Chen Ge turned his head to look at him, he saw Xiao YuAn nodding his head, so Chen Ge started to dig out a shallow pit with all his might. Once he was done with the pit, he put the corpse inside.

After that, Xiao YuAn bent down to pay his respects. When he raised his head, he saw that the corpse was holding a wooden plate tightly in his hand. At that moment, Xiao YuAn carefully pulled out the wooden plate from the corpse’s hand. He would hand it to Chen Ge later, so that he could take it back to the Southern Yan barracks. At least this way the people who once knew this soldier, would know that he died fighting for his country; knowing that his body didn’t end up in the wilderness of the battlefield, where his bones couldn’t be found.

Chen Ge patted off the dust from his hands, and asked Xiao YuAn: “What’s his name?”

Xiao YuAn looked at the wooden plate in his hand with the help of the bleak moonlight. As soon as he read the characters engraved on the wooden plate, his breath stagnated, and his eyes suddenly shrank.

“Physician Xiao, what’s wrong?” Chen Ge saw that something was wrong with Xiao YuAn and confusedly asked him.

Xiao YuAn’s chest fluctuated sharply, and he was short of breath. He was unable to say a word for a long time. The only thing he could do, was to hand over the wooden plate to Chen Ge. At this sudden action, Chen Ge took the wooden plate with a confused expression, seeing that there were some barely recognizable words engraved on the wooden plate: At the back… the roof of the cave… save His Majesty….
