The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

Chapter 454: The Rebels Burn, Kill, and Loot Everywhere

Leng Nanyu turned around, looked at the two shadow guards with a firm gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go... Let's continue to the Lengyue border."

The general who led the troops to the battle this time was his uncle, and all this was the result of the full support of his mother.

His father was an idle emperor, and almost all court affairs were controlled by his mother.

Leng Nanyu knew very well that the outbreak of this war was not due to national interests or justice, but due to the ambition of his mother.

She longed to expand the territory and achieve great things in her lifetime. However, this behavior seriously violated the 20-year peace agreement between the two countries. She unilaterally tore up the agreement and provoked war.

Leng Nanyu's heart was filled with worry and uneasiness, but he did not want to let innocent people fall into dire straits.

He was determined to use his wisdom and courage to prevent the outbreak of this war.

Despite the many difficulties ahead, he firmly believes that as long as we work hard, we will be able to achieve the goal of peace.

With this belief, he resolutely embarked on the journey to the Lengyue border, hoping to bring peace and happiness to the people of both countries through his own efforts.

Having made up his mind, he continued on his journey with the two shadow guards regardless of anything else.

After nearly seven days of traveling day and night, Ouyang Miaoling finally arrived at Yanyuepo.

What came into her eyes was no longer the beautiful town she had left, but a town that had been ravaged by war. The town was full of ruins and traces of the war.

Ouyang Miaoling understood what had happened here after they left?

The second prince has already started an uprising and led his troops to rebel. They must have fought a fierce battle with Nangong Mingxuan here.

Ouyang Miaoling was filled with sadness and anger. She felt extremely sad that this town, which was once full of vitality and vigor, had now become so dilapidated.

She thought of the good times she had spent here, but those familiar streets, buildings and people's smiling faces were no longer there.

She took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions. She knew that now was not the time to be sad, she had to find Nangong Mingxuan's whereabouts. She quickened her pace, walked through the ruins, and looked for clues everywhere.

Among the wreckage, Ouyang Miaoling found some bloodstains and traces of battle.

She carefully observed these signs, trying to deduce what had happened. She noticed that several walls were broken and some weapons were scattered on the ground, indicating that there had been a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides.

Ouyang Miaoling continued to explore forward, hoping to find more information about Nangong Mingxuan, Wushang, Guimei and others.

She saw some burned houses with charred furniture and clothing inside, and she couldn't help wondering if the innocent residents had also suffered misfortune.

As she went deeper into the town, Ouyang Miaoling found the bodies of some soldiers. They were wearing different armors, but it could be seen that they were all from the imperial army. She carefully examined each body, hoping to find a familiar figure among them, but found nothing.

Ouyang Miaoling felt increasingly depressed. She was worried that Nangong Mingxuan and his men might have met with an accident.

But she told herself not to give up and to find them. She continued along the street, not missing any possible clues.

Ouyang Miaoling stopped in front of a dilapidated temple. She found that there seemed to be something unusual around the temple, so she approached carefully. When she entered the temple, the scene in front of her shocked her - the temple was full of coffins!

Ouyang Miaoling's heart beat faster and she looked at the coffins nervously, not knowing who was lying inside.

She opened the coffins one by one, hoping to find some useful information. However, when she opened the last coffin, there was nothing inside.

Ouyang Miaoling was stunned, and a trace of doubt surged in her heart. Why are there so many coffins? And why is one of the coffins empty? Did someone deliberately arrange such a scene?

Just as she was thinking, there was a slight noise behind her. Ouyang Miaoling turned around alertly and clenched her sword. She looked around vigilantly, ready to deal with possible dangers.

Just then, an elderly man appeared at the door, and Ouyang Miaoling relaxed her vigilance.

The old man looked at Ouyang Miaoling and the others in confusion and asked, "Who are you?"

Ouyang Miaoling saw the old man's vigilance towards them and thought that he might have mistaken her and her followers for rebels, so she quickly explained: "Old man, we are not bad people. We are just passing by here and want to find a place to rest. I came from the imperial capital and heard that my husband is here. I came here specifically to look for my husband, but I didn't expect to find this place. Can you tell me who these people are?"

After hearing Ouyang Miaoling's explanation, the old man also let down his guard and said slowly: "Girl, if that's the case, you can come in. Everyone here is our people, and now the town has been occupied by the rebels. We old people are hiding at home and dare not go out, for fear of being discovered by the rebels. How did you find this place?"

Ouyang Miaoling walked into the house, looked at the coffins placed around, and asked curiously: "We broke in accidentally, old man, are these your relatives?"

The old man sighed and said, "Really? These are my people. They were all killed by the rebels. I put their bodies here and plan to bury them after the rebels leave."

Ouyang Miaoling felt a pang in her heart, and couldn't help but shed tears. She thought of Nangong Mingxuan, wondering if they were okay.

She gently stroked a coffin, feeling the temperature, as if she could sense the soul of the deceased.

"Old man... since these are all your people, then why is there an empty coffin?" Ouyang Miaoling suddenly noticed an empty coffin in the corner and asked curiously.

The old man paused, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "That coffin is for myself... I know that I won't live much longer. When I die, I can reunite with my people."

Ouyang Miaoling looked at the old man in front of her with heartache. She knew that the old man had lost all hope and was only waiting for death.

Ouyang Miaoling didn’t know how to comfort the old lady. She wanted to tell her that everything would pass, but war was cruel and she didn’t know how long this war would last.

The old man looked at Ouyang Miaoling kindly, and then persuaded her: "Girl, you should leave here as soon as possible. The rebels are burning, killing and looting everywhere. They are not human at all." After saying that, the old man's eyes turned red again, but his tears had already dried up.

Ouyang Miaoling expressed her gratitude for the kind advice from the good family, but since she came here, she wanted to do something for the people who were devastated by the war.
