The fire that burned the bodies outside the city blazed for three days and nights.
It was a rain that extinguished the fire three days later, and the city sent out hundreds of soldiers to fill the gigantic pit. After the pit was filled, Prince Pingxi sent out a team of cavalrymen, who rode their steeds around the mass grave to compact the loose, new soil until the ground was solid, only then did the cavalry return.
During these days, there was no news from Prince Zhen Nan's side. Hei Gu had the Manager send people to inquire, but Prince Zhen Nan's army had not retreated and was still stationed in the Black River basin over a hundred miles away.
No one knew what Prince Zhen Nan was thinking. Why hadn't he acted? Was he waiting for reinforcements?
