The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Liang Chongyue frowned and looked at the bloody back. He took a few steps forward and directly used the water in the kettle beside him to rinse the back of the corpse. The things engraved on the back gradually appeared.

Even though it was already bloody and mangled, Liang Chongyue could quickly tell that it was actually the Xiang family motto.

The Xiang family motto consists of only twelve words:

Loyalty and bravery are paramount, integrity and self-discipline are the most important, and justice is more important than profit.

This set of family precepts was jointly established by the Xiang family's ancestors and the First Emperor of Daxia, and everyone in the world knows it.

It was just a simple matter of getting a tattoo on the back. If that was all, Liang Chongyue looked down at the bloody sword in her hand. She had just wiped it roughly. The blood of the two monsters was too sticky and could not be cleaned without washing with clean water.

"Li Yu'an, don't tell me you took me on a thousand-mile journey just to see this."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. There's more."

Li Yu'an dragged the corpse to the torch, and with the help of the torchlight, he carefully peeled off the tattooed skin on the corpse with a dagger.

Liang Chongyue was standing next to him and saw the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. She had never known before that Li Yu'an had the skill of skinning.

Without shedding a drop of blood, the entire back skin was peeled off. After peeling off the skin with the Xiang family tattoo, Li Yuan took it in his hand and looked at His Highness:

"Do you want to burn it directly?"

Liang Chongyue looked at the intact skin and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"No need, give it to me."

Whoever did it should be returned to him.

The Xiang family is not easy to bully. Daring to bully the Xiang family is no different from directly going against her.

Liang Chongyue reached out and took the skin from Li Yu'an's hand, rinsed it casually with water, and put it into his backpack while receiving the sword box.

After the skin was taken away by His Highness, Li Yu'an recalled what he and Cheng Zhao had heard that day, struggled to pull the torch out from the crevice of the stone, and slowly approached the skinned back.

Liang Chongyue was standing next to Li Yu'an, so she could naturally see that his hand was trembling slightly as he placed the torch on the back of the corpse.

Considering Li Yu'an's skinning action just now, Liang Chongyue had guessed that this was a secret technique banned at the border, and she had only seen it in a book in the Yangxin Palace.

In the early years, there were chaos at the border and smoke of war was everywhere. Someone invented this secret technique to transmit messages. The skin that was peeled off was actually not human skin, but a plant that grew on the border. After it was boiled into a thick paste, some color was added and it was applied on the human body. After it dried, it was difficult to see the difference.

But this kind of thing will curl up after a long time, and the edges will peel off if you pinch it with your hands.

Insurance, but short-term.

This kind of secret technique was not banned until the border war subsided, because during the war, too many people were skinned because of the existence of this secret technique.

Historical records show that the border at that time was full of furless two-legged beasts, from old women to babies in swaddling clothes.

In order to prevent the secrets from being leaked, no one was spared.

Liang Chongyue watched Li Yu'an place the torch in his hand against the skinned part of the corpse's back, and silently reached out to help him.

"Just press it directly. If the skin that has been applied with the secret technique doesn't encounter extremely high temperatures, it won't show any effects in a short period of time."

After saying that, Liang Chongyue took out the torch she had stuck in the crevice of the stone and pressed it. Her nose was stuffy and she could not smell the smell of burning flesh.

Li Yuan's expression didn't look very good, probably because he was too drunk.

Liang Chongyue walked around the back with the torch in his hand, and stained the oil on the torch. Now they didn't have to stand there to fight. Liang Chongyue pulled Li Yu'an away from the corpse with the burning back.

After the fire was out, Liang Chongyue stepped back onto the slope and brought the torch close to his burnt back. Sure enough, he saw something on it.

"I have nothing I can hide from Your Highness. During the years I left the capital, I have been recuperating in Medicine King Valley. I stumbled into this mountain. It was the old valley master who sent me a message saying there was a herb in this mountain that could cure tuberculosis. I brought Chengzhao here, and while trying to avoid the rain at night, I stumbled into this place and happened to discover their secret."

Li Yu'an stood aside and explained, but Liang Chongyue did not believe him too much. This matter was too dangerous. Now there were only monsters in the cave besides dead people, but Li Yu'an and the other two were able to escape unscathed.

Liang Chongyue focused on the things on the back of the corpse with a gloomy face. As for Li Yu'an's words, she pretended not to hear them.

The skin burned by the fire has ulcerated, and the things on it are fleeting. If you don't take the time to look at it, it will disappear in a while.

Liang Chongyue used the system's golden finger to take pictures of everything on the man's back before it disappeared.

As soon as I exited the panel, the back of the corpse was already covered in blood and flesh, and I could no longer see anything.

"I've read a lot over the years, and from what they said, I realized this was a secret technique that had long been banned at the border. At the time, I was alone with Cheng Zhao, so I had no choice but to leave. When I returned with my men, I discovered that all these people were dead."

Liang Chongyue walked down the short slope and listened to Li Yu'an's explanation behind her.

"When I examined their bodies, I discovered that they actually had the Xiang family's military emblem on them. In order to convince Your Highness, I had no choice but to bring Your Highness here."

Liang Chongyue felt that something was wrong with what Li Yuan said, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Liang Chongyue turned his head and looked at the corpses lying everywhere in the cave. These corpses that had not been eaten by monsters all had the Xiang family's military emblem on them. If his scumbag father saw this scene, he would probably kill all nine generations of the Xiang family.

"Let's go, this princess believes you."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, he raised his foot and walked back the way he came. What is true or false in this world is not that important. What you see with your own eyes is false, and what you hear with your own ears is also false.

When people are being servile, they don't need others to deceive them, they just deceive themselves first.

Liang Chongyue led them all the way to the entrance of the cave, found a place sheltered from the wind, sat down, picked up some dry branches, and started a fire.

The crackling flames burned higher and higher as she kept adding branches. Liang Chongyue's face was already burning hot from the fire, but she didn't stop working until all the branches she picked up were burned. Only then did she withdrew her hands that had come up empty-handed.

"Your Highness, I have found some information these days. Would you like to see it?"

Li Yu'an suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. Liang Chongyue reached out and took the booklet he handed over.

The booklet was very thin, as if he had bound it himself, with only a few pages scribbled on, but the words on it were nice-looking. Li Yu'an hadn't been seen for a long time, and his handwriting had improved.

Liang Chongyue opened the booklet and read it carefully to avoid arousing his suspicion.
