Every night, Zhao Xiaole's demons help him find good prey in advance, and then use demonic methods to kill them first.
Zhao Xiaole stood behind and waited, opening his big green teeth and sucking in people's souls.
In short, this matter is becoming more and more mysterious as it spreads.
In the end, the entire empire, and even children in neighboring countries, immediately stopped crying when they heard the three words Zhao Xiaole.
And what did they just do?
Report on the marquis of Zhenguo?
Will Zhen Guohou take their lives immediately?
Kill them with magic?
Let them never be reincarnated?
Everyone shuddered when they thought about it.
Thinking again, Zhao Xiaole walked with them all the way, but they didn't know it, and many of them were so frightened that they fainted.
Zhao Xiaole had no intention of understanding them and said to Governor Xunyang and Wang Wanwan: "They are just some petty thieves. I haven't taken them seriously yet. I will ask you something important later. Get up. No need to be polite."
"yes."
Hearing this, Governor Xunyang and Wang Wanwan stood up.
They both also heard about what Zhen Guohou did during this period.
Governor Xunyang used to be the Third Prince's servant. Fortunately, he was not in the capital at the time and escaped this disaster.
Otherwise, he shuddered just thinking about the consequences.
Afterwards, he tried his best to make friends with Wang Wanwan. Wang Wanwan told him that Marquis Zhenguo was a principled person. As long as he did things well, he would not embarrass you.
When he learned that the Marquis of Zhenguo was coming, he was worried that he would follow the same path as the Chuzhou Prefect, so he took Wang Wanwan with him to greet him.
Now it seems that Marquis Zhenguo really has no intention of holding him accountable.
Governor Xunyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Wanwan stood up and said: "Master Hou, you encountered thieves on the ship, did these guests help?"
"If they have helped or suffered any losses, the villain is willing to repay their losses ten times to atone for their sins."
Zhao Xiaole said lightly: "That's not necessary, they didn't help much."
"yes."
Wang Baiwan nodded gently, unable to detect any emotion or anger.
The guests on the boat were stunned.
Wang Wanwan wants to compensate them, and the price is ten times the price.
This... why does this horse-riding person feel like he missed 100 million?
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
If they said a few words of gratitude, Wang Wanwan would definitely compensate them. Who told them to blame Zhao Xiaole as soon as they stopped the ship?
Zhao Xiaole, Wang Wanwan and others got off the boat and left together.
The carriage was specially prepared by the prefect, which was spacious and luxurious.
He invited the prefect and Wang Wanwan to come up, and the three of them rode together.
Zhao Xiaole frowned and said, "What's the situation in the south now? You two, give me the truth."
"this……!"
Taishou Xunyang was stunned.
What are you really afraid of?
It's okay to eat, drink and have fun, but I'm afraid to talk about serious matters.
He looked at Wang Wanwan for help, but Wang Wanwan had a serious look on his face and did not give any hint.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xiaole's brows became even heavier, "Just say whatever you want, and I will eat you, right?"
His intuition is indeed good.
The situation in Jiangnan is definitely more severe than he imagined.
"yes."
The prefect of Xunyang sighed and began to describe the current situation, "Now the barbarians have crossed the border several times, invaded our border areas, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil, causing the border residents to flee one after another. Several cities have been lost now."
Zhao Xiaole did not believe this and snorted coldly, "Prefect Chen, what rank are you?"
The prefect of Xunyang was stunned for a moment, feeling something was wrong, so he bit the bullet and replied: "I'll... I'll be an official of the second rank."
Zhao Xiaole nodded and said: "I have killed as many as ten first-level officials in the capital. Do you think I dare to kill you?"
The prefect of Xunyang immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Master Marquis, please spare my life. I didn't say a single lie. I ask Master Marquis to look into it."
Wang Wanwan also knelt down and begged for mercy: "I would like to inform you, the Grand Administrator is indeed telling the truth. Judging from the information received so far, there are only six lost cities in Jingyang."
Zhao Xiaole was silent for a while, then asked the two of them to stand up and asked: "If this is the case, then why are there so few people fleeing?"
"Even if only six cities were lost, the people should have been sent north long ago, right? But the bandits who robbed them have no business anymore."
"Tell me honestly, did you intercept the people going north and deliberately conceal the war in the south?"
In fact, this is not what Zhao Xiaole is most worried about.
What he was most worried about was actually that the barbarians were massacring the city.
If the city was massacred, naturally no one would come out alive, and naturally there would be no people migrating north to avoid the war.
Unexpectedly, the Xunyang Prefect breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
He explained with a gentle expression: "The Marquis is unaware of something. It is not that we are intercepting the people to prevent them from avoiding disasters."
"It's because the barbarian cavalry attacked too fast. If they didn't hide in a nearby city, there would be no way for the people to escape the barbarian massacre."
"Therefore, there are naturally fewer people migrating north."
Barbarian cavalry too fast?
What the hell?
Zhao Xiaole didn't believe it even more when he heard this.
Horses are mostly produced in the north and western regions. If you talk about Loulan cavalry or East Vietnam cavalry, they are so fast that they can roam around the periphery and gaps of the city, constantly killing migrating people.
How much does Zhao Xiaole believe it?
You said the barbarian cavalry is too fast?
Do you really think he doesn’t understand history?
Barbarians fight on donkeys or oxen.
What fast mounts do they have?
Moreover, there are many hilly areas in the south, which are not suitable for cavalry attacks at all, and most of them are water battles.
But the governor of Xunyang actually said that they were defeated by the barbarian cavalry.
Zhao Xiaole sneered when he heard this, and murderous intent slowly filled the carriage.
He already had murderous intentions.
Since you are unwilling to tell the truth, then don't blame me for killing you. When you die, I will look at the memory in person and it will be the same.
You can see clearly what you should know and what you shouldn't know.
Seeing Zhao Xiaole's face turn cold, Prefect Xunyang suddenly panicked, "Master Marquis, this is true!"
"The barbarian princess has recently tamed a kind of mount. This mount is not only good at running and climbing, but it is also extremely fast in hilly areas."
"If it weren't for the powerful mounts like this, we wouldn't have lost several cities in a row. Please give me a warning!"
This explanation is quite reasonable.
Zhao Xiaole suppressed the killing intent in his heart and slowly asked: "What is the name of this mount? What are its weaknesses?"
"This... this kind of mount has never been seen or heard before. It may be an unfinished species found in the southern barbarian land. This beast is nearly two feet long, has fangs and a vicious mouth, roars that shake the sky, and it runs like the wind."
"You can even use a ladder to climb the city. An old doctor was so frightened after seeing it that he named it Pixiu!"
