[Everyone has so many ideas, so join the group to discuss! The author is waiting for you!]
Kong Yuan passed on the position of abbot to his disciples? Could it be that the old monk was frightened to death after witnessing the ferocity of the monster?
Just as Zhao Yanxun was sighing, an idea came to his mind.
Wolong Temple is a famous temple in Longyou, and the old monk Kongyuan is a well-known eminent monk. Such a person has great appeal.
This is why Zhao Yanxun did not act recklessly when he forced himself into the forbidden area of Wolong Temple. He was concerned about the old monk's reputation at the beginning.
But now it seems that this reputation can be used.
The old monk knew about the existence of zombies and even more about the dangers of zombies.
If he can be invited to Yuanyang Mansion, and he can explain the existence of zombies to the government, causing the government to take the initiative to respond, this will be a clever move.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yanxun put down the porcelain bowl with a "pop" sound, startling Xue Baoyun beside him.
"Okay... let's do it!" Zhao Yanxun whispered, with a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes.
There was such a huge emotional reversal that Xue Baoyun even wondered if her husband was confused.
Look at this palace now. It has been demolished and rebuilt inside and out, turning a magnificent and noble palace into something completely different...
Is the prince crazy?
Thinking of this, Xue Baoyun was shocked. No matter how hard she and Concubine Duan tried, they probably wouldn't be able to support such a husband as the crown prince.
Yes, even now, Xue Baoyun still has such thoughts.
So at this moment, Xue Baoyun couldn't help but ask: "My lord, are you okay?"
He was obviously very happy, so why was he asked if everything was okay? Zhao Yanxun was filled with doubts.
"Nothing, I just suddenly missed the old monk Kongyuan. I heard you said that he had stepped down as the host, so I thought about bringing him to the palace to stay for a few days!"
Hearing what Zhao Yanxu said, Xue Baoyun became even more worried. Why would a good person accept a monk to move in?
In Xue Baoyun's eyes, all of Zhao Yanxun's orders seemed messy and unreasonable from beginning to end.
"Your Highness, did you invite Master Kongyuan here to deal with those monsters?" Xue Baoyun asked tentatively.
Zhao Yanxun's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "How does my beloved concubine know?"
Xue Baoyun's face froze, and he guessed correctly.
As for why Xue Baoyun knew it, it was actually not difficult to guess at all.
Because whether it was building armor, collecting food, or renovating the palace... Zhao Yanxun always used the excuse of dealing with monsters.
In order to protect the relationship between husband and wife, the truth must not be told, so Xue Baoyun explained: "I made a random guess!"
Just when Zhao Yanxun was about to give the order for people to go to Yuntang Mountain to invite Kong Yuan, there was a burst of mournful crying outside the hall.
"Your Majesty... something bad has happened!"
In the palace, in order to maintain order after the end of the world, Zhao Yanxun established extremely strict regulations.
This is the first time such crying and howling outside the palace has happened.
Seeing the young eunuch on duty outside hurried in, Zhao Yanxun suddenly asked with a cold face: "What's going on?"
The little eunuch also knew that something was not right at this moment, and immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Report to the prince, Wang Zongwang Baihu is outside asking for an audience. Before the servants had time to report, he called out from outside!"
These words cut him off completely, which shows that this little eunuch has a delicate mind.
Wang Zong is a simple and honest man, and he usually would not do such outrageous things. When things go wrong, there will be monsters.
Zhao Yanxun was seen getting up from the chair and slowly walking out of the hall.
Xue Baoyun was also curious at this moment, so he followed Zhao Yanxun to the inside of the door and looked outside through the window screen.
But at the foot of the steps outside the main hall, a man wearing a hundred official uniforms was kneeling on the ground.
When he walked out of the hall, what caught Zhao Yanxun's eyes was Wang Zong, who looked extremely embarrassed.
"What's going on?" Zhao Yanxun asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, we found a monster in the northeast of Yuanyang...three brothers were dragged away by the monster!" After saying this, Wang Zong kowtowed directly on the ground.
"The strange minister...the strange minister did not protect them, please punish me, Your Highness!"
Just now he said that no monster appeared, and now Wang Zong brought back this news. Zhao Yanxun really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The loss of several guards is very regrettable because these are all the elites of the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army, and if one of them dies, one will be missing.
Zhao Yanxun stepped down the steps, kicked Wang Zong to the ground, and yelled at the same time: "If you do this, your dead brother can come back to life?"
After being scolded suddenly by Zhao Yanxun, Wang Zongcai regained some clarity, but his whole person became quite depressed.
This dejection was not only due to the death of a brother in his hands, but also the psychological shadow caused by the great terror.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun did not rush him. After Wang Zong's mood gradually stabilized, he personally stepped forward to help him up.
"What's going on?" Zhao Yanxun asked in a deep voice.
After Wang Zong lowered his head, he replied: "Your Majesty, I will take people out to search for monsters these two days!"
"According to the previous division, I took my brothers to fifty miles northeast of Yuanyang, and then headed north to search in a row!"
"I divided the team into ten teams. The team I was in, after searching for seven or eight miles... came across a Zhuangzi!"
Seeing that Wang Zong's expression was unnatural, Zhao Yanxun knew that the problem probably lay with Zhuangzi.
But he still didn't urge him, he just waited for Wang Zong to organize the order of words, and then spoke slowly.
"According to the prince's request, if we encounter this kind of Zhuangzi, we will all go in and investigate..."
"This Zhuangzi is different from other places. It's just a high-walled compound, but there's no one around it!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yanxun was already sure that there were zombies in that village.
"There was no one around, Zhuangzi's door was closed, and there was silence inside... I then ordered three brothers to climb over the wall and go inside to explore what was going on inside!"
At this point, Wang Zong's tone became urgent: "But... those three brothers climbed into the wall..."
"Inside, there were screams, and then endless roars..."
The further he went on, the more excited Wang Zong became.
"Then I personally climbed over the wall, and then I saw... within the courtyard wall, there were dozens of monsters as far as the eye could see, and the three brothers were being bitten by them!"
"I just listened to them shouting, sir, save me, sir, save me..."
"Kechen, I can't save them!"
Zhao Yanxun could imagine how tragic the situation was at that time.
After a few breaths of silence, Zhao Yanxun asked: "About how many monsters are there in that village?"
After Wang Zong thought briefly, he said: "About... there are thirty or forty of them!"
Thirty or forty people, let alone less than ten people around Wang Zong, even if there were fifty or sixty people, he couldn't defeat these zombies head-on.
"There are many monsters inside, how do you deal with them?" Zhao Yanxun then asked.
"I couldn't save those brothers, so I thought about burning that Zhuangzi with a fire. But before I could take action, I heard a warning from brothers outside..."
"It turns out there are monsters outside the village. Maybe they appeared after they were resting and listening to the noise!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun asked: "So you just withdrew?"
"Withdraw" is a nicer way of saying it. Zhao Yanxun wanted to take care of Wang Zong's face.
"I threw a handful of fire into it, but I didn't know if it was still there... and then I took my brothers and ran away!"
"Your team encountered a monster. How are the other teams doing?" Zhao Yanxun asked in a deep voice.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was afraid that my brothers would make another mistake, so I hurriedly evacuated all the brothers!"
After saying this, Wang Zong knelt on the ground again.
