Time flies, five days pass in the blink of an eye, and it’s August 12th.
At Caishikou somewhere in the south city of Yuanyang City, Wu San was led onto the execution platform and his head was pressed on a thick wooden pier.
Under the execution platform, there were a large number of onlookers, mostly the old and weak who stayed behind in the city.
Officials from the Royal Inquisition Office stood on a high platform and read out Wu San's charges, and everyone in the audience was filled with indignation.
Every family has relatives outside the city, and they are afraid of meeting a harmful person like Wu San, so everyone present hopes that Wu San will die.
On the execution platform, Wu San lowered his head. He never expected to die like this.
The enemy is still alive, but he is not willing to die... This is Wu San's last thought.
As his head fell, the crowd below burst into cheers.
At the other end of the palace, Zhao Yanxun was putting on his armor, and the soldiers in the front guard outside the palace were already waiting for action.
Four days ago, Yuan Guang brought back the zombies and explained the situation to Zhao Yanxun.
This abnormal time made Zhao Yanxun more tolerant, so he just verbally reprimanded Yuan Guang.
I originally thought that this matter would be over, but unexpectedly, in the next three days, there were casualties almost every day.
Two soldiers and three young men were bitten to death by the attacking zombies, which made Zhao Yanxun unable to sit still.
If the initial casualty was an accident, then if it happens several times in a row, it means there is something wrong.
Therefore, Zhao Yanxun issued an order asking all the young people in the southeast to suspend harvesting until everything was completely resolved at this time.
Zhao Yanxun attaches great importance to these "intelligent" zombies. This is indeed a terrible thing.
In order to completely eliminate them, Zhao Yanxun mobilized more manpower, and three-quarters of the guards were transferred to Hecheng County.
At this moment, the four ministers stood silently in the main hall, seeming to want to persuade Zhao Yanxun to stay.
The core of Yuanyang is in the palace, and the core of the palace is in Zhao Yanxun, so nothing can happen to Zhao Yanxun, so no one wants him to leave the city.
But Zhao Yanxun had already made up his mind, and no matter how much people tried to persuade him, they were all directly rejected by him.
Under the royal palace system, Zhao Yanxun is the system and law.
"Don't worry, I have God's favor and nothing will happen to me!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.
After saying this, Zhao Yanxun summoned the system in his mind.
The force given to Zhao Yanxun by the system is his greatest support. He has not really taken action for a long time, so this time Zhao Yanxun plans to go and see it in person.
After this period of time, the city expanded to the periphery, and soldiers successively rescued people from outside the city, increasing the actual population under Zhao Yanxun's control to more than 54,000.
As long as he finds 700 more people, he can refresh the quota of fifty first-level soldiers and upgrade his subordinates who perform well.
In fact, recent facts have proved to Zhao Yanxun that there are indeed a large number of survivors outside the city.
But it was not possible to figure out where these people were hiding, so we had to clean up and find them.
"Your Highness, I still feel..."
Before Zhou Chengping finished speaking, Zhao Yanxun interrupted: "No need to say more, the four of you must manage the city well during the few days that the king is gone, and no mistakes can be made!"
"The direct solution that can be decided upon when a problem arises is that the four of you together cannot handle it alone!"
These things must be explained before leaving.
While making arrangements, Zhao Yanxun's armor has been put on, and he stands in front of the mirror with an extraordinary figure.
"It's time to go!" Zhao Yanxun put on his helmet.
Following him this time, in addition to the palace guards under Lin Dagui, there were also hundreds of households under Xu Yu's jurisdiction.
Currently, the only people left in the city are the hundred households under Wang Zong and more than 400 people from the Military and Horse Division.
The rest of the guards and soldiers were sent out of the city by Zhao Yanxun early to carry out the harvest outside the city.
Zhao Yanxun's business is huge, and he knows the risks involved, so when an uncontrollable incident occurs, he has to deal with it himself to feel at ease.
Jumping on the back of his horse, Zhao Yanxun came out of the palace, hit his horse and drove directly out of the city.
Xu Yu and his men have already rushed to the scene of the incident, and they will meet at the scene of the incident in the afternoon.
The smooth journey out of the city, feeling the tranquility outside, gave Zhao Yanxun a sense of accomplishment.
He has been preaching to the soldiers and people in the city that he is the savior, and what he sees now proves that he is the savior.
Of course, the current tranquility is not absolute, and zombies will occasionally appear to break it, but as long as they are discovered by the soldiers stationed along the official road, they will deal with it immediately.
Along the official road, Zhao Yanxun encountered many military vehicles, all of whom were on duty conscientiously at their posts.
They were silent all the way, and in half a day, they arrived at Hecheng County.
It was already mid-August, and the wheat in the fields was already showing signs of withering and turning yellow, which was not good news for Zhao Yanxun.
The place where Chen Yuhe reported was a mountain valley with Liujiazhuang inside.
When Zhao Yanxun arrived, the opening side of the col was already heavily guarded to ensure that the zombies inside could not escape.
The mountain col where Liujiazhuang is located is large on the outside but even bigger on the inside, so Chen Yuhe could not clean it out within a period of time.
In the case of insufficient troops, the zombies inside were able to escape, causing a lot of trouble.
There is continuous rain in the mountain col. Although it is not very heavy, it also makes the environment worse.
Standing in the simple hut, Chen Yuhe said with a solemn expression: "This rain really didn't come at the right time!"
Xu Yu, who was standing aside, nodded: "Yes, the prince will be here soon. This rain can't bring down the fire, but it will make people angry. Chen Baihu... you have to be careful!"
Although there are special reasons for the Liujiazhuang incident, in the final analysis, Chen Yuhe was unable to handle it, so he must bear some responsibility.
"well……"
But when Chen Yuhe was about to continue speaking, a voice came from the distance: "The prince is here!"
When the two of them heard the news, they immediately rushed outside the hut.
A minute later, surrounded by a group of guards in front of the palace, Zhao Yanxun was sitting on a horse wearing a bamboo hat, looking at Chen Yu and the two of them who were kneeling on the ground in front of him.
"I am incompetent, but I am guilty!"
When he came, he first admitted his mistake and corrected his attitude. Chen Yuhe could only hope that Zhao Yanxun could calm down.
In fact, Zhao Yanxun was not as angry as the people below imagined. All of this was caused by his excessive authority.
So at this moment, I just heard him calmly say: "Get up and take care of things first!"
"yes!"
Under the guidance of Chen Yuhe, they walked deeper into the mountain col. The rain was already slowly getting lighter.
