Under the leadership of the guards, He Sidao walked toward Beicheng with Zhang Junru, carrying an unfulfilled package.
Entering the palace as a guest means that good times are coming, so He Sidao couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Looking at the expressionless Zhang Junru, He Sidao smiled: "I said... don't be so sad. After entering the palace, we will have no worries about food and clothing!"
Zhang Junru didn't say anything. As a true Taoist, he actually didn't like to cling to the powerful.
Of course, now that even eating has become a problem, he can only succumb to reality, so he seems depressed.
"Tell me about you...if I hadn't put in your kind words for you, do you think you would be able to do such a good thing? After so long, I haven't seen you say thank you or anything!" He Sidao couldn't help complaining.
"Who saved your life?" Zhang Junru said expressionlessly.
Now He Sidao had nothing to say. Zhang Junru was indeed very kind to him, but she was just cold-faced and warm-hearted.
"Brother of the guard, I wonder how your prince is happy and angry? What are his hobbies in his daily life?" He Sidao passed the words to the guard again.
These palace guards all carried a strong murderous aura, but these people all came from the palace, which made He Sidao worried about his future life.
If Zhao Yanxun is also cruel and murderous, then he must quickly find a way out and escape as soon as he gets the chance.
He Sidao's life can only be controlled by his own hands.
"Your Majesty has clear grievances and is a first-rate hero!" There was obviously a hint of reverence in the guard's tone of reply.
He Sidao has been wandering around the world for many years, and it can be seen that the words of the guard come from the sincerity, which shows that this King Yong is very good to the people below him, and he must have many ways to show kindness.
But what's more important is that these arrogant generals can truly respect him. King Yong himself has extremely outstanding abilities.
Such a person, in today's chaotic situation, is more likely to give his subordinates a way to survive.
Thinking of this, He Sidao's view of Prince Yong's Mansion has changed somewhat, at least it is not just a long-term meal ticket.
They continued to move forward and soon passed Erliu Fang.
That's right, the most convenient way from the residence of He Sidao and his wife to the palace is through Erliu Fang.
They were passing by the alley outside the west gate of Erliu Fang. When they saw the closed gate and the serious and worried expressions of the officers, He Sidao guessed that something had happened.
"Master, what's going on inside?" He Sidao asked.
If it were in the past, He Sidao would definitely not be troublesome, but now that he has the support of the palace, he immediately becomes much more courageous.
The officers didn't want to answer at first, but when they saw the staring eyes of the palace guards, they could only say: "There are monsters inside, and the Yamen has ordered us to seal this place!"
He Sidao was about to ask more questions, but he heard the guard behind him say: "When did it happen? How many monsters were there? How did the Yamen deal with it?"
Three questions in a row made the officer who answered him speechless for a moment.
"What happened half an hour ago, I heard there were more than 20 at first, but after all this time... who knows how many there are!"
As soon as the officer finished speaking, there were continuous exclamations from the room, as well as bursts of heart-stopping screams.
"The monsters are raging inside, and you guys on duty are just watching?" He Sidao's voice suddenly increased.
Although he is a generous person, he is not hard-hearted after all, and he still has some compassion for others.
"Who said we should just watch? The adults in the yamen are discussing countermeasures, and this matter cannot be urgent!" the officer said with some shame and anger.
Just as He Sidao was about to argue with him, the guard riding next to him said coldly: "Let's go!"
I wanted to argue more, but since the guards had spoken, He Sidao could only leave.
"Get on your horse, we have to go back quickly!" the leading guard said solemnly.
The two rode together, and He Sidao had no objection to this, but Zhang Junru next to him did not move.
"Jun Ru, what are you doing standing still? Hurry up and get on your horse!" He Sidao angrily yelled. Now is not the time to be in a daze.
"The monsters are killing people inside, so we just walk away like this?" Zhang Junru asked.
He Sidao hesitated for a moment, and it was hard for him to refute, after all, Zhang Junru saved his life.
At this time, the guard on the side said: "If you delay any longer and delay our return to the palace to report to the prince, you will be the cause of those extra deaths!"
Hearing this, Zhang Junru was speechless and immediately climbed onto the guard's horse.
In fact, the guards had mentioned before that they took the two of them back on horseback, but He Sidao refused.
Because in He Sidao's view, it was too humiliating to be taken back like this, and it would prevent him from pretending to be a master in the palace.
With the sound of horse hoofbeats, several of the palace's knights galloped away, leaving only a few servants standing there looking at each other.
In the palace, Zhao Yanxun dismissed the guards and stood alone in the Jinshen Palace while several young eunuchs were removing his armor.
Opening his arms, Zhao Yanxun didn't have to do anything, others would help him get things done.
After the armor was taken off, the young eunuchs placed it on a shelf in the side hall. In this hall, there was also the Yuanyangchen sand table that had just been made by the Gongzheng Institute.
Standing in front of the sand table, Zhao Yanxun frowned. With the zombie virus under control in the city, he should worry about the ones outside the city.
If his guess is correct and the zombies really feel the popularity, they will probably gather outside Yuanyang City soon.
By that time, the inside and outside will be isolated, and there will be nearly 100,000 people in the city. There will definitely be big trouble.
With so much food stored in the palace, it will definitely become the focus of other people's calculations. This is something that must be guarded against.
In two days, if there are no more zombies in the city, the martial law in the city will be lifted, and the situation may become even more chaotic.
It is estimated that the number of people stealing, killing people and stealing goods will increase a lot.
Therefore, the palace must recruit people as soon as possible, otherwise the further back the forehead is, the harder it will be to recruit good people into the palace.
Of course, there is a more serious problem. All the food in the city combined can only sustain one-third of the food until the beginning of next spring.
As for why it is the beginning of spring, because if farming cannot be done in the beginning of next spring, then almost everyone will be doomed.
Under such unsustainable development conditions, even Zhao Yanxun could only abandon the palace and become a lone wolf with his three wives.
Just as Zhao Yanxun was thinking about this, a young eunuch came in to report that there were guards outside asking to see him.
"Inform him to come in!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
After a while, a guard hurriedly entered the main hall and came to the side hall to bow and salute.
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty, there are monsters appearing in Erliu Fang, and their number is at least twenty!" the guard immediately reported.
Originally, Zhao Yanxun thought the virus was under control, but now it seems that he thought too simply.
"Come here, wear armor!" Zhao Yanxun said solemnly.
The young eunuch who had just replaced him with his armor was now busy in the palace again, but Zhao Yanxun's face was ashen at this moment, so they did not dare to feel dissatisfied at all.
During the process of putting on the armor, Zhao Yanxun asked at the same time: "What is the specific situation? Tell me in detail!"
So the guard told everything he knew, and then Zhao Yanxun asked him to gather people. Obviously, he wanted to go to Erliu Fang to deal with it himself.
Now there is only one question in Zhao Yanxun's mind, how did the zombies break out even though the city has calmed down.
Although there are loopholes in the actions of those in the government, they are all minor problems. How could such a large-scale mutation occur?
