Chapter 938 Dissatisfaction, anxiety

When Ayiguli heard about the fire and rushed to the scene, the fire had basically been controlled by Zuleiha and other shamans and was shrinking little by little.

At the scene, there was only a large group of angry and murderous soldiers surrounding a few people.

Aiguli was still on the edge of the crowd when she heard a smug and cold laugh coming from the crowd.

"I've already told you that I'm from the Mingjian Pavilion. Why are you asking me how I sneaked into your camp? You won't be able to learn it even if you study for three lifetimes. Don't ask me anymore."

"Fuck you!"

There was an angry shout, followed by a muffled sound and a groan of pain.

Ayiguli's pupils shrank slightly.

She had guessed what was going on.

Just as Fu Qingzhou said, at the critical moment, someone will help them...but they themselves may pay the price of their lives.

Did they deliberately set a fire to force the Northern Barbarians into a desperate situation?

But if this happens, wouldn't they become even crazier, more desperate, and even more unable to endure the wait?
Ayiguli understood. No wonder Fu Qingzhou said that even if the names of the ancestors were mentioned, it could only last for one day at most!
Under the current circumstances, if Tiele does not send troops tonight, let alone tomorrow morning, they will probably be drowned by the spit of those generals!

She pushed her way through the crowd, and the soldiers in the crowd noticed that she was the "noble" specially appointed by the Great Khan, so they made way for her.

After walking deeper, Aiguli's body shook slightly.

There were five people caught, and she actually knew them!
They were none other than the secret envoys of Mingjian Pavilion who had previously disguised themselves as "Military Bookkeepers". They had sent Ayiguli to Feixiong after Fu Qingzhou had arrived there first. They also met in Qionglu Fort after Fu Qingzhou and the other two had returned from Qiluo Palace.

Yes, she even remembered...the leader, whose name was Shi Junfeng.

At this time, only Shi Junfeng was still awake...

Or rather, still alive.

The remaining four people were already dead.

As arsonists, they were unsurprisingly tortured to death. Their bodies looked so horrible that it was almost hard to tell they looked human.

Of course, keeping Shi Junfeng was not out of mercy, but because the generals wanted to know how these Yan people sneaked into their camp.

Naturally, the torture methods used by these Yi generals would not be very gentle.

Like his colleagues, Shi Junfeng was no longer recognizable as a human. Not only were his limbs broken and twisted to an almost exaggerated degree, but his face was also eyeless, leaving only two deep bleeding holes. All of his good teeth had been pulled out one by one and were placed on the ground in front of him... together with his eyeballs.

Huhebaji stepped on his back and pinned him to the ground, his face extremely ferocious: "Is there an insider? Hmm? Tell me, I can make you die quickly! Otherwise, you can't die even if you want to!"

"You really want to hear it?"

Shi Junfeng had become like this, but he was still smiling, but his tone was a little strained: "Okay, then I'll tell you!"

Huhebaji narrowed his eyes slightly, but still loosened his foot on his back.

Shi Junfeng recovered his breath a little, took a few breaths, raised his neck suddenly, and shouted: "You are finished! Marshal Hong will be here tomorrow! You have no food and water, and you can't defeat Feixiong..."

Halfway through his words, Huhebaji frowned and kicked him in the face!
With a bang, Shi Junfeng spat out a large mouthful of blood and rolled out, rolling several times like a tattered sack, and then there was no sound.

Aiguli in the crowd trembled slightly and gritted her teeth, not allowing herself to show any sympathy.

"Fuck you, bastard!"

Huhebaji walked forward, picked up Shi Junfeng, took a look at him, and threw him to the ground like a dead dog: "He's dead."

He turned his head and cursed: "They were able to sneak in, there must be a traitor, you..."

Halfway through giving orders, he froze.

The soldiers around him had anxiety in their eyes.

Huhebaji's expression was obviously startled. Shi Junfeng's words finally worked.

Tiele suppressed his will for a day and did not send out his troops. Although the "return of the ancestors" convinced the generals, he could not tell the soldiers about it. It was not that this was a big secret, but...

This incident was really demoralizing.

Yes, the “return of the ancestors” thing is really demoralizing.

Of course, it was not the "ancestor spirits" that affected morale, but "the legendary ancestor spirits have returned, but not only did they fail to help us fight against the Northern Frontier Army and wipe out the traitors, they were even taking risks when dealing with the furious bear spirit alone"!
Most of the people in the Yi country cannot even read, so their worship and belief in their ancestors are even more pure.

It is difficult for them to understand that "the ancestor spirit has returned, but His strength has not yet recovered and He needs to slowly adapt to this world."

They would only think, that is the omniscient and omnipotent ancestral spirit! How could there be something that cannot be done?! The ancestral spirit has come, why should we still fight for our lives?!
Therefore, the methods and rhetoric used by the generals to appease the soldiers could only naturally be the result of "different considerations between the Great Khan and the generals."

As for what the considerations were, don't ask, don't inquire, anyway, it was a method that would reduce casualties and make victory easier.

but now……

The granary burned down.

The Northern Frontier Army is getting closer.

There was still no movement from the Feixiong tribe.

"The Great Khan is coming!"

Just then, someone shouted.

The crowd parted again, and Tiele came over with a gloomy face, wearing a cloak and strides.

He frowned, and his eyes swept over the uneasy soldiers around him, finally stopping on the corpses on the ground.

"Chop up their bodies and feed them to the rats."

Tiele simply ordered: "All chiefs and generals, follow me."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Generals including Huhebaji looked at each other, and then no one spoke, and they followed in silence.

By this time, Zulaiha and other shamans had completely put out the fire.

"Ayiguli."

Zulaiha came closer, her face serious, "I'm afraid we'll have to go there."

"Yes." Ayiguli took a few deep breaths, adjusted her mood, and said, "Let's go."

When she and the shamans left, the soldiers had already begun to disperse.

It was obvious that each of them was extremely uneasy and anxious, especially after Tiele and the generals left. They no longer needed to endure and began to show their feelings, whispering in groups of three or five... and even discussing loudly.

"This time most of the food and fodder has been burned! I'm afraid we won't have anything to eat by tomorrow night?"

"Why aren't we fighting yet? Are we still waiting?"

"It can't be because of the temple of the Flying Bear Tribe..."

"What's there to be afraid of in a broken temple? It's not like there's a real bear spirit! Can't the Great Khan personally take action to deal with it?!"

"I don't understand. I really don't understand. My tribe has been burned down. My parents, wife and children have all followed the army. I can starve to death, but I don't want to watch them starve to death too."

"We have to fight tomorrow, right? I don't believe we won't fight tomorrow..."

The negative emotions of the soldiers were almost overflowing, as if they were emitting black energy.

Ayiguli averted her eyes.

After this fire tonight, the morale in the military camp will drop very low... and dissatisfaction will begin to spread rapidly!
