It wasn't only Ren Baqian and the winged cavalry who went to Ping City. Qing Yuan and Hong Luan also went with them. The two of them had been waiting here after the empress left for Ping City. Since they were going to pick the empress up, they brought along the empress's carriage too.
After Ren Baqian and the rest left, many commoners headed out of the city as well.
These commoners were tasked with burying the bodies.
There were all kinds of corpses lying on the ground just as they headed north of the Great Xia barracks. Due to the weather in Great Xia, the bodies started to emit a foul stench. If there were only a few corpses, it wouldn't be that bad, but such a large number of dead bodies lying everywhere had a high possibility of causing a plague. As a result, these bodies had to be buried.
Furthermore, burying these bodies underground could also increase the fertility of the land.
