The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 221 The Dark Person

At night, seven or eight large fires had been lit in an open space outside Liujiazhuang.

Zhao Yanxun kept his word and promised the guards to warm up the bonfire at night in the afternoon, so he arranged for it now.

The bonfire is easy to make, just find some wood, but the meat takes a lot of work.

The guards brought dry food with them when they went out. If they wanted to eat meat, they had to come up with a temporary solution. The only way to solve the problem was to hunt.

Not to mention, half a year after the human power receded, there were a lot more wild animals outside.

Wild boars and rabbits are not everywhere, but it is not difficult to hunt a few of them.

At this moment, some people were boiling water to prepare, some people moved out useful things from Liujiazhuang, some were dealing with prey, and of course there were some people standing guard.

Everyone has their own business, even if there is no guard who arranges the work, you can find a place to chat with your companions.

Only Zhao Yanxun, although he was sitting in the center of the scene, was alone.

Although there were several guards accompanying him, Zhao Yanxun was lonely in his heart because he couldn't find anyone who could talk.

The courtiers who are by his side now cannot be friends, and naturally they cannot talk on an equal footing.

In order to enhance his sanctity, it is even more impossible for Zhao Yanxun to be friends with ministers and truly make himself a loner.

Besides his "harem", Zhao Yanxun and Xue Baoyun had a rift after the investigation of the palace some time ago, and Huang Rongrong's carefree character could only play together.

The only one who can talk is Lin Jingyu.

Looking up at the sky, feeling the loneliness in his heart, finally Zhao Yanxun smiled.

I'm being hypocritical again... Zhao Yanxun secretly said.

At this time, Lin Dagui came to Zhao Yanxun with a bowl of water and said, "My lord, drink some water first, and the meat will be roasted in a while!"

"It seems to be only thirty miles away from Hecheng County, right?" Zhao Yanxun asked suddenly.

After thinking for a while, Lin Dagui replied: "It seems to be so, I don't know very well!"

"Go to Hecheng County to have a look tomorrow, and then we'll go back to Yuanyang!"

This order came out of the blue. If there were civil servants around at the moment, their first reaction would be to refuse, and then they began to try their best to persuade them.

But Lin Dagui obeyed Zhao Yanxun's orders, so he simply replied: "Obey!"

As night fell, when everyone was sitting around the fire, ready to drink water and eat meat, Chen Yuhe picked up the water bowl and stood up with a knife in his hand.

"Today Xinyou Wangye was able to destroy the monsters and save a large number of brothers from being killed or injured..."

Speaking of this, Chen Yuhe directly knelt on the ground, held up the water bowl and said: "The prince is as virtuous as the sky, I am so grateful, I respect the prince!"

With Chen Yu and Dai, Xu Yu also joined the ranks, and at this moment also knelt on the ground.

Good guy, with these two hundred households leading the team, all the general banners have followed suit, and then this has affected the small banner officers below, and even the bottom guards.

After being teased by Chen Yuhe, everyone knelt in front of Zhao Yanxun and wanted to respect him with a bowl of boiled water.

This made Zhao Yanxun dumbfounded. At this moment, he was still sitting on the chair, looking at the crowd and said: "Well, I will use water instead of wine, and share this bowl with you!"

Then I saw him pick up the water bowl, and after beckoning to everyone from afar, he drank up the bowl of boiled water in his hand.

"His Royal Highness King Yong, long live!"

This sentence was yelled out by Xu Yu first, and every time he flattered, Chen Yuhe took the lead, so he, the "old man" of the palace, had to fight for the lead.

Immediately afterwards, the guards all shouted: "His Royal Highness King Yong, long live!!"

The atmosphere at the scene was thus warm, and under Zhao Yanxun's intentional indulgence, the bonfire party this night was a success.

Of course, he himself is still like an outsider, he can only sit on the chair and watch, and arrange the next errands by the way.

The arrangement is actually very simple, only a few adjustments have been made to the original plan.

But generally speaking, it is a resumption of attack and production.

After resting in Liujiazhuang for one night, everyone got up early the next morning and went to do their own things according to Zhao Yanxun's arrangement.

Zhao Yanxun was going to Hecheng County, and both Chen Yu and Xu Yu wanted to escort them, but they were forced to leave by Zhao Yanxun's strict orders.

Zhao Yanxun and his party have horses. Even if they really encounter a situation that they can't handle, they can win if they don't win, so he doesn't feel the need for guards.

The most important thing is that Zhao Yanxun just looked around casually along the way, as long as he didn't deliberately drill into the pile of zombies, the possibility of encountering danger was extremely small.

Da Ma walked on the official road, this place is only seven or eight miles away from Hecheng County, although Zhao Yanxun is almost there, but Zhao Yanxun is not in a hurry.

"Hecheng County is really a good place, but it's a pity that the food is gone!" Zhao Yanxun sighed.

There are many rivers in Hecheng County, so it goes without saying that it is a good place, but why do you say it is a pity for food?
Because at this time of year, those grains that were too late to harvest had already started to fall slowly, and would eventually rot in the ground.

But Lin Dagui said from the side: "My lord, these grains fell into the ground, and they will grow back next year!"

"You said there are living people in the county ahead?" Zhao Yanxun asked slowly.

"This... I don't know!"

"So, let's go and have a look!" Zhao Yanxun said indifferently.

Immediately, the crowd rode their horses and continued to move forward, passing through a large wheat field, and they came to a hillside.

The field of vision here is wide, and the city in the distance appears in front of everyone.

Outside the city, there were some scattered zombies, wandering in the field, and roaring from time to time.

There is no doubt that Hecheng County has fallen and has become a dead city.

But when Zhao Yanxun came over, he didn't really just come to have a look.

The palace has set a clearing direction to the southeast, and the forward army is only more than 30 miles away, and will soon hit the county seat.

This is facing a problem, recovering Hecheng County.

So Zhao Yanxun had to come over first to see how difficult it would be to regain this place.

Judging from the present, there are about a few hundred zombies outside the county seat, but it is uncertain as to the number inside the city, but it is nothing more than a few thousand.

After all, there are few people in the county town, and there are no living people inside, so it is impossible to gather tens of thousands of zombies outside like Yuanyang City.

"Your Highness, the monster over there has changed!" Lin Dagui reminded suddenly.

After coming out of Liujiazhuang, they encountered many zombies on the way to Hecheng, but there were no zombies of this scale before them, so Lin Dagui had to be extra cautious.

At this time, Zhao Yanxun looked surprised and said, "There are still people alive!"

The movement of the group of corpses was getting closer and closer, and only then did Lin Dagui see clearly that someone was running wildly ahead.

This person's body is black, and he will only be regarded as a zombie from a long distance.

"My lord, I bring someone to save him!" Lin Dagui begged for his life, after all, human life is a matter of fate.

"Don't worry, he won't die that easily!" Zhao Yanxun said with a smile.

Because at this moment, the black man killed a zombie with a backhand hammer.

Of course, there were more than a dozen zombies chasing him, and it was not so easy for him to escape.
