Outside Andu County, the guards inside chased the Zhu Jiajun scouts and ran away, but the place did not regain peace.
The bites of zombies are so painful that people can't help but scream in agony.
And this scream will attract more zombies, causing another zombie riot outside the county town.
The large-scale movement of zombies is a good thing for people in the outer woods.
That's right, in the woods to the west of Andu County, Ma Cheng and his two brothers were squatting on a tree to avoid zombies.
Since the stronghold was wiped out, they fled north to avoid the search by the palace.
Escape was very dangerous and difficult. Ma Cheng and his two accompanying brothers suffered a lot these days before finally escaping outside Andu County.
Along the way, they walked carefully. When they were tired, they could only rest on the road. When they were hungry, they would either pick wild fruits to eat, eat bugs, or be lucky enough to hunt a rabbit or other wild animals.
Today, they were planning to rest in the tree and wait for the zombies below to disperse before heading out, but unexpectedly they saw the wonderful chase just now.
Although they were far apart, Ma Cheng still recognized the palace guards. Their armors were exactly the same as those of Qin Hao and others.
What puzzled Ma Cheng was that the palace guards would actually meet their opponents.
Although the Zhu Jiajun people were defeated, at least these people dared to go to war with the palace and took the initiative, so they were the ones Ma Cheng could seek refuge with.
"Did you see that the monster under the tree has gone away? It's time for us to set off!" Ma Cheng said in a deep voice.
Immediately, he and his two younger brothers got down from the tree. Originally, there were four of them leaving Wutai Mountain, but one of them died on the way.
The three of them got down from the tree, and a horse happened to run over. Ma Cheng grabbed the reins.
This horse belongs to the Zhu Jiajun scout. The scout himself has been cut into pieces by zombies. This horse is fast and has not suffered any harm.
It was a good thing to get the horse, but as the horse arrived, a large group of zombies also chased after it.
"Brother, what should we do?" The man below looked at the group of corpses and asked in panic.
Ma Cheng didn't say anything, he jumped onto the horse and slapped the horse on the butt.
The horse raised its hooves in pain and carried Ma Cheng away quickly.
There were only two minions left on the spot, messy in the wind. The next moment they reacted, they quickly climbed up the tree like monkeys.
"Damn you bastard, you surnamed Ma are going to die a good death!"
"You're a grandson who suffered a thousand cuts, I'm going to copy your eighteenth generation ancestor!"
The two minions yelled and cursed, and a large number of zombies gathered under the tree, forcing them to silence themselves.
"It seems that we will definitely die today!"
"Don't talk nonsense, these monsters will leave later!"
As for Ma Cheng, after he got away from the group of corpses on horseback, he immediately hit the horse and headed north.
Just now, Zhu Jiajun's men were heading north, so he followed them north just to find a way to survive for himself.
The horse galloped all the way. Ma Chengdu was prepared to encounter the palace guards, but he didn't expect that the journey would be smooth.
Tianma Fort is located 25 miles north of Andu County. The distance is actually not too short. It only took Ma Cheng half an hour to rush here.
As a native of Yuanyang, Ma Cheng knew about the existence of Tianma Fort. He originally thought that the place was occupied by zombies, but he did not expect that there were still living people on the fort wall.
Ma Cheng discovered that there was someone in the fort, and people from the Zhu Jiajun also discovered him.
This army was small in number, so they all knew each other. When they saw Ma Cheng, they immediately became alert in the fort.
Ma Cheng stopped outside the fort. Tianma Fort was holding a banner with the word "Zhu", letting him understand that this was the force opposing King Yong.
Just as Ma Cheng was thinking about how to contact the inside of the fort, he saw the fort gate rumbled open, and more than a dozen riders rushed out from inside.
Ma Cheng thought it was a friendly exchange, but unexpectedly he was surrounded by more than a dozen horsemen.
Just as Ma Cheng was about to express his intention, the dozen or so riders took action, took Ma Cheng off the saddle, and tied him up with a rope.
During this process, Ma Cheng wanted to explain, but received several slaps in the face, which made him shut up.
Then, Ma Chengcheng was escorted into the fort and brought to Zhu Xiaoyong.
"Kneel down!"
Ma Cheng was kicked in the leg and fell to the ground, looking particularly embarrassed.
Zhu Xiaoyong drew his sword out of its sheath and stretched the blade to Ma Cheng's neck. He heard him ask in a cold voice: "Where did the horse you are riding come from?"
Someone next to him stared at Ma Cheng fiercely and said, "Master Qianhu, he must have killed our people and robbed our horses. Let's just kill this bastard with one knife!"
Only then did Ma Cheng realize that he had been misunderstood.
So he quickly explained: "Everyone...my lords, it was not me who killed your people, it was the people from Prince Yong's Mansion who did it!"
Prince Yong's Mansion, these three words were captured by Zhu Xiaoyong.
Although he didn't know much, he had heard Zhu Jinzhang's analysis and knew that there was a person named King Yong in Longyou County.
Zhu Xiaoyong stepped forward and slapped him across the face, scolding him sternly: "That's nonsense. If there is a disaster today and the imperial court is gone, then what is Prince Yong's Mansion?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm really from Prince Yong's Mansion. I saw with my own eyes... the people from Prince Yong's Mansion were chasing and killing your soldiers!"
At this moment, Ma Cheng's desire to survive was so strong that he had no time to pay attention to the pain on his face.
Zhu Xiaoyong still didn't believe it, so he slapped him several more times, and finally hit him with a knife.
Ma Cheng felt like he was dead. After closing his eyes, he almost cried and said: "The villain's cottage was massacred by Prince Yong's Mansion!"
Finally, the knife stopped on Ma Cheng's shoulder
As he gasped for breath, his body rose and fell, and the knife on his shoulder moved up and down.
Beads of sweat appeared on Ma Cheng's forehead. He knew that he almost died just now, just a little bit.
To both Prince Yong's Mansion and the people in front of him, his own life was no different than that of an ant. He could just kill him casually against his will.
But fortunately, if you don't die, then you basically won't die.
"Prince Yong's Mansion, is it really still there?" Zhu Xiaoyong asked in a deep voice.
"Here, they occupied Yuanyang City from beginning to end!"
"Why are they killing our people?"
"It was your people who went to kill the soldiers from Prince Yong's Mansion first, but they were killed in reverse!"
At this time, Ma Cheng could only answer the questions quickly and accurately, so he did not modify his words much.
Zhu Xiaoyong put away the knife, turned back and sat down on the chair, and then asked: "What was the situation at that time? Please tell me carefully!"
So, Ma Chenggong told the story of what happened outside Andu County.
In the end, Zhu Xiaoyong asked the most critical question: "How many soldiers are there in Prince Yong's Mansion? How big is the territory?"
Ma Cheng is not fully aware of these situations, but he can tell some.
"As far as I know, there are at least several thousand soldiers in Prince Yong's Mansion. I'm afraid they occupy most of Yuanyang Mansion!"
As the seat of Longyou County, Yuanyang Prefecture is naturally the richest place with the best geographical conditions, at least much better than Liaoping Prefecture where King Ming is located.
Hearing Ma Cheng's words, Zhu Xiaoyong's heart skipped a beat.
He thought he would only have to deal with zombies when he went south, but he didn't expect the existence of Prince Yong's Mansion.
So how should we deal with Prince Yong’s Mansion? The opponent is so powerful that we must consider it carefully
And the only one who can make the decision is Zhu Jinzhang himself!
