The two lieutenants sent by His Majesty Emperor Yan restricted his measures and hindered his plans.
These two lieutenants.
One is named Tang Youwen, a genius disciple of Wuzong and the son of a general who governs the country.
Wenzong was at the peak of his career, a man of extraordinary talent, and the son of Prime Minister Gao Ping.
Half a month ago.
Mu Ruqing, the king of Zhenbei, was in Changhe. He imprisoned Tang Fei, the lord of Changhe City, for the disadvantage of fighting floods, and arbitrarily massacred the people who were infected with the plague. Anyone who was sick was killed without mercy.
This also caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers and civilians guarding Changhe City.
Tang Fei escaped from the prison with the help of the jailer. When Mu Ruqing found out, she wanted to massacre the city to vent her anger.
After Tang Fei found out, he led the soldiers of Changhe to rebel. Changhe responded to the call and fought with the King of Zhenbei for three days and three nights in Changhe City.
Successfully delayed Mu Ruqing's plan to massacre the city.
Although Mu Ruqing defended Changhe City, the plague was rampant in the city and ghouls were spawned, making the whole city panic.
Just when Mu Ruqing ordered the massacre of the city.
Tang Shiwen and Gao Ping came with the order and managed to stop the plan to massacre the city.
Emperor Yan ordered Mu Ruqing to concentrate on countering rebellion, disaster relief and plague, leaving Tang Shiwen and Gao Ping in charge.
However, the methods of the two lieutenants were too immature, which resulted in the overflow of ghouls. Coupled with the rampant plague, if the city was not slaughtered, the entire Changhe River Basin would probably become a ghost land!
Gao Ping was very anxious at this time.
According to previous experience, isolation and treatment methods were used to solve the problem. People infected with the plague were imprisoned in concentration camps outside the city for treatment. Those who were found dead or seriously ill were cremated immediately.
However, what troubled him was that instead of being controlled, the plague spread to the army.
Tang Shiwen was exhausted physically and mentally at this time.
The army took strict precautions every day, using special medicinal materials to wash and wash the soldiers, and wearing special masks to protect them from the plague. However, a large number of soldiers were still infected by the plague.
His face was expressionless, but inside he was anxious and angry.
If we can't think of a better way to stop the plague...
I'm afraid the only way is to massacre the city!
Let's look at it again. An urgent message has been sent to the Imperial Capital, hoping that the Demon Suppression Department can send capable officers to dig out all the ghouls and put an end to the chaos caused by the ghouls.
Nowadays, people in the entire Changhe River Basin, due to river waterlogging, a large number of refugees are crowded into Changhe City, trying to find a way out in the city.
When officials provide disaster relief and receive victims, they will start from the cities.
Therefore, Changhe City has long been overcrowded.
Now, plague is rampant here, corpses are causing trouble, and rebels are surrounding the place.
The entire Changhe City is in danger!
The sky was overcast and it seemed like it might rain at any time.
A white flying pigeon came with a message and landed in front of Mu Ruqing.
Mu Ruqing frowned slightly, stepped forward and untied the bamboo tubes tied to their feet, poured out the letters inside and looked at them, her face became even more ugly.
"Prince...you really don't want your uncle to marry the eldest princess..."
He was very fond of the eldest princess Yan Lingzhu, but the prince interfered with it, which made him, an uncle, very embarrassed. Now he was asked to attack Jiang Hu, the eldest princess's apprentice, which was really difficult for others.
However, when he is away, the emperor's orders may not be accepted, not to mention that he is not the emperor yet.
"Assemble the Zhenbei Army! Follow the king to pursue the rebels!"
"Yes!" The general behind King Zhenbei took the order and left.
"It just so happens that I don't care about the mess here. When the time comes, His Majesty Yandi will have to be the bad guy himself..."
Just like that, Zhenbei Wang Zaoren
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Already he became the treasurer and led his troops out of the city to quell the rebellion.
In the entire city, only Gao Ping and Tang Youwen's guards remained.
...
At this time, Jiang Hu was already on his way to Changhe City.
Along the way, the road was rugged and muddy, limiting everyone's walking distance.
Some roads have long since turned into a vast ocean, and some bridges have long been washed away by floods.
Everyone waded through the muddy water and walked on the road to Changhe City.
Since leaving Yancheng, we have started to see refugees one after another. Some refugees came here begging, some brought their families with them, and some pushed carts and drove horse-drawn carriages.
The gap between the poor and the rich is stark.
The poor people's clothes are as tattered as beggars, but the rich people drive carriages without touching the ground.
Gradually, we met refugees with sallow faces and thin muscles, each one of them was like a zombie, with coughs, children crying, and adults crying.
"Sir, please do me a favor and give me something to stutter!" Someone was begging along the way. When he saw someone, he came over and blocked the way.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Department has seen this kind of battle before. Those who have money pay for it, and those who have no money pay for food.
There was a lot of delay along the way. We were originally scheduled to arrive in three days, but I'm afraid we may not be able to arrive in five days at this speed.
Night gradually fell, and darkness swallowed the entire sky.
Everyone from the Demon Suppression Department traveled all night.
The night was dark and windy, eerie and eerie. The surrounding trees rustled, as if countless demons were hiding. The wind howled coldly, and from time to time you could hear the cries of demonic birds and the roars of wild beasts. The sounds were horrifying.
Looking from the mountains in the distance, you can see a group of people holding torches, walking through the darkness, like warriors marching forward bravely.
Jiang Hu took the lead, knowing that the situation in Changhe City was critical and would not allow them to stop and rest.
Fortunately, these deacons of the Demon Suppression Department, whose lowest level of cultivation is the level of refining Qi to leave the body, can travel overnight.
And the lowest level of cultivation is yourself.
Jiang Hu felt a little ashamed just thinking about it.
After all, even Gao Laner has cultivated to the level of copper skin and iron bones.
At midnight, light rain began to fall from the sky. Everyone was forced to slow down as they marched against the wind and rain. The horses' hooves made a pattering sound on the muddy road.
"Roar--"
"Meow--"
Suddenly, two voices intertwined. Bai Mengmeng jumped up from Jiang Hu's shoulder and roared at the shadow in the darkness. He only heard the sound of claws tearing flesh, and the pop of a foreign object falling to the ground.
"Enemy attack! Be careful!" Jiang Hu shouted immediately.
Suddenly, there were many ghosts all around, and pairs of eyes were hidden among the trees, like evil ghosts from hell coming to the world and peeping at the human body.
"Master, it's a zombie, meow!" Bai Mengmeng ran up to Jiang Hu's shoulder and licked the blood stains on his paws. He felt the stench was so fishy that he couldn't help but tilt his head and retched.
It didn't expect that the blood of this corpse was so smelly!
The picture is funny and cute, but Jiang Hu has no time to appreciate it at this time.
"Everyone, bring out the demon-suppressing plate!"
Everyone took out the demon-suppressing plate one after another, injected the original force into it, and looked around.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
There are densely packed corpses all around!
"Everyone forms a formation to meet the enemy!"
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Department quickly formed a circle and continuously injected force into the Demon Suppression Disk, shining on the surrounding corpses.
The dead ghosts were instinctively afraid of this light source and avoided the light one after another.
Jiang Hu discovered that these corpses
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The clothes on his body were in tatters and his skin was white and swollen. It was probably caused by victims of the flood.
"Kill them—" A whisper suddenly came from not far away, the voice was deep and terrifying, and an order to attack was given.
Ghouls are brainless creatures, but they can easily be controlled by ghosts that are more advanced than them.
"嘤嘤嘤——"
"Quack quack——"
Upon hearing the order, the corpse roared again and again, and attacked everyone with the light source of the demon-suppressing disk.
"Meet the enemy!" Jiang Hu shouted, pointed his long sword in the direction of the horse, and rushed straight towards the ghost giving orders in the distance.
Everyone drew out their swords one after another and slashed down hard at the attacking corpse.
Jiang Hu took the lead, swung his long sword quickly, the horse trampled the corpse, and cut off the human head with the sword. He soon discovered the red eyes hidden in the darkness not far away.
"Master, it's meow!" Bai Mengmeng also discovered the ghost, flew up from Jiang Hu's shoulder, and pounced in the direction of the ghost.
Soon, Bai Mengmeng took out a dead ghost.
Next, in one night, everyone in the Demon Suppression Department encountered four groups of corpses one after another.
It didn't stop until daytime.
Looking at the refugees coming and going around, Jiang Hu was a little disbelieving, why these people didn't encounter a ghoul, but he himself did.
Soon, the answer was proved,
These corpses deliberately prevented the Suppression Department people from advancing.
Jiang Hu had no choice but to divide his troops and rush on his way.
Jiang Hu, Lei Miao and Bai Mengmeng set off first, while the main force was led by Gao Laner.
Jiang Hu and others gave up riding, pretended to be refugees, and took a small road to climb over mountains and ridges in the opposite direction.
Lei Miaoxiu has thunder legs and can travel thousands of miles in a day. If she could, she could reach Changhe City in one day.
Bai Mengmeng sat on Jiang Hu's shoulder, looking like a little oil bottle.
Looking at the panting master, Bai Mengmeng was a little ashamed and said: "Master, I have transformed into a civet cat form. You can sit on my back."
After talking, the civet cat transformed into a big cat, tall and powerful, and very cute and fluffy.
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Mengmeng." The river fox jumped up, landed firmly on Mengmeng, and tightly grasped its fluffy white hair.
"Well, Master, you said that we are already gay."
"..." Jiang Hu was speechless.
However, Bai Mengmeng's back is so soft and comfortable. Comrade Bai Mengmeng's ideological consciousness is still very high.
Jiang Hu couldn't help but mentally cheated.
Lei Miao on the side could only feel envious. After all, Master Cat didn't invite him, and he didn't dare to overstep his bounds. He could only rely on his two thunderous feet and hurried on obediently. He secretly complained in his heart: Hey, I am also a gay after all. Is it just because I am a daughter?
?
Lesbians are really not easy to mix among gay men!
After breaking away from the large army, the speed of two people and one cat was much faster, and even the corpses rarely appeared.
Passing through various counties and cities along the way, we found that floods had destroyed countless houses, refugees were swarming in groups, and starvation was everywhere.
The earth is devastated, and mourners are everywhere.
"The corpse has changed! Someone has changed into a corpse!"
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting from ahead.
Jianghu and the others hurried forward and saw from a distance that several refugees looked like zombies. The blood in their mouths was purple-black, their eyes turned white, and their faces were bloodless. They had mutated into corpses.
Unexpectedly, this plague is so powerful that it can turn people into corpses immediately after death.
The zombies bared their teeth and claws at the crowd, but the refugees used swords, guns and sticks to injure them.
The flesh and skin of the corpse are like copper skin and iron bones!
