Chapter 184 – Battle of Liyang - Part 14
The face of Zhu Jun turned red from anger. Desecrating the dead was a taboo that the native of this country despised. He coughed as he had a headache at the back of his head. He took a deep breath to calm down.
"I'll go and see it myself."
"M-My Lord, you should not!" One of the lieutenants jumped in front of Zhu Jun to stop him.
"Why are you stopping me?"
"M-My Lord, the corpses … are rotting. You will get sick again! Please remain here!"
The heads that Tong had his men threw over already emitted a rotting smell. These heads had been left alone for many days outside of Liyang City after the soldiers gathered them onto wagons and carts. Maggots and flies swarmed them like they were the feast.
Moreover, the southwest wind blew the odor of the decaying corpses toward Zhu Jun's men who stationed at further south, bringing germs and bacterias with by the air.
