Chapter 12: Loopholes

After finishing the three Life and Death paintings, the hearts of everyone present could not calm down for a long time.

Liu Chengchao spoke up: "Currently, only over a thousand corpses have been discovered. If the records on the murals are true, it means our excavation has only covered a very small portion, and a large number of corpses have yet to be unearthed."

There were as many as ten thousand Wolf Guard.

Fewer than 2,000 have been excavated so far.

"If we dig up the ten thousand Wolf Guard and the Giant Wolf, could that prove the authenticity of the murals?" Wang Jiao asked from the side.

As a woman, even though she was already twenty-seven years old, she still had dreams of heroism.

Especially for a man like Heize, who had almost single-handedly protected the entire Daxia.

Yet, in the end, after fighting bloody battles for the country and cutting off his own path of retreat, he was not mentioned in any historical records.

This made one feel both awe and heartache.

Those who carry firewood for the people must not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow.

Heize's deeds should be known by people.

Heize should also be respected by people!

Liu Chengchao had the same thoughts as Wang Jiao, though they were a bit more muted.

He valued the historical events themselves more.

As for historical figures, he would feel awe and sigh, but he would view them with a rational eye.

At this moment, even after seeing the Life and Death Shrine, he felt that this matter seemed full of loopholes.

The Wolf Guard were not so easy to defeat.

The Dafeng Dynasty at that time was weak and could be said to be rotten to the core.

There was simply no army capable of fighting.

To avoid being besieged in the capital, the Emperor at the time led thirty thousand Imperial Guards to hunt in Dongshan.

As a result, two thousand straggling soldiers of the Wolf Tribe appeared on Dongshan.

It was these two thousand straggling Wolf Tribe soldiers who directly scattered the thirty thousand Imperial Guards and nearly captured the Emperor of that time alive.

This was incredibly absurd, yet it was a true event.

The Imperial Guards were one of the two strongest armies of the Dafeng Dynasty at the time.

One was the Imperial Guards, and the other was the Border Army.

If the Imperial Guards were this pathetic, there was no need to even mention the other armies.

Therefore, Heize could not have organized an army capable of resisting the Wolf Guard at all.

Even if this Wolf Guard had been damaged by a natural disaster, they still had the strength to fight.

Moreover... there was another loophole in all of this.

Up until now, nothing has been discovered...

Liu Chengchao could not help but recall the image of Heize in the mural, standing against ten thousand alone.

"These alone are not enough to prove that Heize wiped out the Wolf Guard."

Liu Chengchao replied to Wang Jiao.

Proving historical events, especially those without records in historical books, is extremely difficult.

This requires a chain of evidence.

Otherwise, couldn't anyone just fake it?

For example, a rich person could build a Life and Death Shrine for themselves and be buried deep underground.

Then, tell others that they saved the world and were also a top scholar in the civil service examinations.

However, there is no such scholar in the history books, and no one saved the world at all.

If this Life and Death Shrine were dug up, could it prove these things?

Of course, it could be used as one link in the evidence to make bold conjectures.

"Are these not enough?" Wang Jiao was slightly stunned, lost in thought, and after a long while, she said, "Right, unless we find other historical documents to corroborate it, or find out which army this was and what its designation was."

Beside her, Liu Chengchao's eyes were somewhat deep, emitting a Ghost light: "Have you noticed a problem?"

"Ah?" Wang Jiao immediately asked, "What problem?"

"Currently, the corpses we have unearthed, after testing, all belong to the Wolf Tribe or the Giant Wolf."

"What about that?" Wang Jiao was a bit confused and did not react for a moment.

"There is not a single corpse of the Dafeng Dynasty, or rather, our Daxia Clan people here!

Not a single one!

When two armies clash, how could there not be a single corpse of a Dafeng soldier?"

"Could it be that the bodies were collected?" Wang Jiao offered her own speculation.

"This is a forbidden land; there was simply no opportunity to collect the bodies!" Liu Chengchao's expression was agitated, "There must be something we have overlooked here."

The Spear god Heize, unexpectedly, made it to the trending topics.

This attracted the attention of many people.

Especially the image of Heize on the Life and Death painting, dressed in black, handsome and extraordinary.

Although the mural's craftsmanship was average, it still presented a towering image to people.

"This Heize must have slept with the Empress Dowager of Dafeng; otherwise, with his merits, he would definitely have gone down in history."

"The person above has a heavy taste. The Empress Dowager? Can't you settle for the Empress?"

"You don't understand! The Feng Taihou of Dafeng at that time was only in her thirties, still charming and graceful, dripping with Water at a single pinch."

"In youth, one does not know the value of an aunt, mistaking a loli for a treasure."

"Can we talk about something serious? How did Heize defeat the Wolf Guard?"

"Isn't this serious?"

"Isn't this serious?"

"I'd rather see how Heize defeated the Empress Dowager."

At this moment on the internet, Heize had already attracted the attention of quite a few people.

The Justice Association live-streamed this event and also garnered a large number of likes.

At this moment, Lin Chao looked at the information online and felt quite speechless.

He had absolutely no relationship with Feng Taihou.

However, he had indeed met Feng Taihou.

Feng Taihou was far more beautiful and glamorous than the "Liu's Wife" next door.

He had no relationship with Feng Taihou, but his junior fellow apprentice, who was the later Fengxing Emperor, had an ambiguous relationship with Feng Taihou.

The two had no blood relation, but Feng Taihou was, after all, the Fengxing Emperor's grandmother in name.

Of course, there was no record of any of this in history.

If there was a record, it was only that the Fengxing Emperor was very filial.

Unofficial history once recorded that Feng Taihuangtaihou had a festering toe, and the Fengxing Emperor, being filial, knelt on the ground and sucked out the pus.

Lin Chao only felt that this circle was truly messy.

The Fengxing Emperor should have been renamed the "Filial Emperor," as he was a completely devoted son.
