Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 348 Follow-up
"This...Young hall master, I understand, I will make arrangements immediately and follow your orders..."

Before he finished speaking, the man in black robe felt that his eyes suddenly turned gray, as if there was something wrong with his eyesight, and his reaction seemed to be a lot slower.

Is this the enemy's attack method?
Then the man in black felt that his line of sight had changed, and the ceiling of the authentic house seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

Wait, that seems to be his own body, isn't the one standing next to him the Young Hall Master?I was beheaded?

why?
It's a pity that the man in black couldn't speak his words, and then his vision fell into darkness.

The white-haired young man pushed the man in black to the ground in disgust and said, "Clean this up."

Two white-robed men appeared out of thin air beside them.One obeyed the young man's order to deal with the scene, and the other stood there waiting for the young man's order.

"These people really think that they are people who have abandoned the religion by wearing my clothes? It's so naive. There are more and more such mindless waste. I don't know what the people above think, but they are looking for There are so many crooked melons and cracked dates. It's really getting more and more embarrassing." The white-haired young man began to complain frantically.

The white-robed man at the side didn't dare to speak, well, this is the young hall master dissing the hall master crazily.It was wrong for him to speak, and it was also wrong for him to keep his mouth shut. They were father and son, and quarreling would help to enhance the relationship between father and son, but he was a servant, and talking nonsense was a bit provocative.

The white-haired young man obviously knew the temperament of the white-robed man, and he stopped complaining for a while, and ordered: "Take away those excellent experimental products, and we will take them back to study, but the fool before said one thing right, that is We can't just leave casually, this is not our style. Let's keep those failed products with no potential, and let them continue to play here, not to mention that it will hurt Bei No matter how many people in Yan are disgusted by them."

"Yes, Young Hall Master." The white-haired young man waved his hand, "I have to do everything myself, this Young Hall Master is really meaningless at all."

Soon the people who abandoned their religion were dealt with according to the young man's instructions.

Most of the people stayed, and only a small number of people brought by the white-haired young people chose to leave.

Those who left were naturally the real core personnel of Tianqijiao and the confidants of the white-haired young man.

Although those left behind wore the clothes of Tianqijiao, they were actually peripheral members who had entered Tianqijiao for less than a year, and they were not considered their own.

Some were born bandits and bandits, and they were not kind people by nature.

Joining Tianqijiao itself is to rely on something, and then take the opportunity to make things happen.

Originally, one of the reasons why Tianqijiao recruited these people was to expand its momentum, and another important reason was to let them serve as cannon fodder.

It's a pity that these silly children thought that they had received some important task, and thought that as long as they completed the task well, they might become full-fledged members of the Tianqi Sect.

Little did they know that what awaited them was the City Defense Army in western Liaoning, as well as experts from the Embroidery Guards and the Military Intelligence Division.

Knowing the urgency of the matter, Chen Zheng immediately went to the action team to transfer people after he left the Military Intelligence Department since he knew about the appearance of the living corpse.

The ones who didn't go out on missions happened to be Zheng Sanjin and Niu Chengli's two teams.

Niu Chengli and Zheng Sanjin can be said to be old acquaintances with Chen Zheng.Over the past year, both of them have grown in cultivation.

After Zheng Sanjin got out of the shadow at the beginning, and joined the Military Intelligence Department, he quickly got rid of his predicament. He was much more energetic, and he was more concerned about his work, unlike before. Sloppy, more cautious.

His current cultivation is already at the late stage of the Luck Realm, and even his baby Xiao Tianhu is already at the peak of the Luck Realm.

As for why his baby pet is better than him, the important reason is that the food is good.

Beast pills, since Chen Zheng bought them in the Danyang Martial Market, he found that they are really helpful to the beasts. They can not only replenish energy, but also accelerate their growth.

Now Chen Zheng is taking the Xie Xie and Pangpang in his hand.save time and energy.

Because the number of beast pills he bought was not large, Chen Zheng also specially left some for Zheng Sanjin.

It's not that Chen Zheng didn't gain anything in Danyangwu City before, but he contacted the behind-the-scenes buyer of the beast alchemy. Start with pills, general healing medicines, Qi-reviving medicines and the like.

Just start with some other elixir.

This beast pill is just to serve as food for strange beasts, and there are even some pills that can add to the fun. Only men understand things, but Chen Zheng is not sensitive to this. He is not a womanizer, but only interested in improving his strength. interested.

Chen Zheng didn't lack money, so he directly signed a contract with the people of that sect. The long-term purchase contract was for this kind of animal pill.

But now the effect of this beast pill is still very general, and it still has a lot of effect on Ahri and Pangpang who are not at a high level, but after Xiaotianhu reached the peak of luck, the effect of the beast pill has been negligible.

The current beast pill is the same as jelly beans in Xiaotianhu's mouth, there is no difference.

For this reason, Chen Zheng also made a special request. If this sect can provide better quality beast pills, Chen Zheng can spend more money to purchase them.

This kind of behavior like the God of Wealth, unless it is a fool, no one will not accept it.

As for Niu Chengli, it can be said that he is middle-aged but still talented. Since his arch-enemy died, he has performed better and better, especially after joining the Military Intelligence Department. Because of his suitable temperament and serious work, he has attracted everyone's attention. Ability is also good, and the relationship with colleagues is very good.

Although the cultivation base is still in the middle stage of the Luck Realm, but the foundation is very solid, and in Chen Zheng's view, there is still the possibility of further breakthroughs.

One of the reasons why Niu Chengli hadn't made a breakthrough for a long time was that he was targeted by old friends and didn't have enough achievements. Another reason was that he didn't have much money, so he couldn't exchange the elixirs he needed from Xiuyiwei.

But it's different now. Under Chen Zheng's care, Niu Chengli can be said to have received a lot of good cases, attacked a lot, and gained a lot of meritorious service.

This status has improved, and the salary has also increased. Naturally, there will be extra money that can be used to buy some things to supplement one's own strength.

Although he is a bit old, it is not without the potential to hit Zhou Tianjing.

Chen Zheng called two teams of people and immediately rushed to Kangzhuang County on fast horses.Fortunately, Liaoxi County is not very far from Jianzhou City.

In addition, Beiyan attaches great importance to the construction of road facilities, and there are post stations along the way. Normally, they only provide rest services. Only Beiyan officials have the service of changing horses. They are afraid that there will be some important situations that need to be reported. .

Along the way, there are post stations to change horses.

The speed of Chen Zheng and the others was very fast, and the horses they were riding were all good horses in the post station. It was not a thousand miles a day, but there were still five or six hundred miles. They finally arrived in Kangzhuang County within three days.

The journey was dusty.

And Kangzhuang County is already under martial law at this time.

The gate of the city was closed tightly, and a lot of people could be seen from above patrolling, each with a serious expression, and they were also very cautious about the arrival of Chen Zheng and others, and began to question them severely.

The captain of the gatekeeper couldn't make a decision. In the end, the county magistrate of Kangzhuang County came out. He knew a little about the official personnel, and he also understood that what Chen Zheng and the others showed were official official documents, and they should be of orthodox background. There should be no possibility of counterfeiting.

Open the city gate to welcome Chen Zheng and others to enter.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Chen Zheng found that the streets in the county were sparsely populated, few people were walking on the streets, and more soldiers from the city guards and the police from the county government were more likely to be mobilized.

Could it be that the living corpse has become so serious?Even the county town needs martial law?However, outside the city, Chen Zheng did not find any traces of the city guards fighting the living corpses.

After questioning, the county magistrate of Kangzhuang County replied with a bit of bitterness on his face: "Captain Chen, our county really didn't deal with those living corpses, but after the news that those villages were infected by living corpses, The city has always been unstable, and in the end there was really no other way, so we had to carry out this kind of wartime management.”

The specific plot is that when Xiuyiwei Liu brought the news of the living corpse, everyone in the county was in a panic. Less than a year had passed since the Qingyun Mountain incident, even if they had not seen the living corpse with their own eyes. How about the dead body, but they have also heard of it, and their hearts are panicked.Some people hurriedly packed their luggage and prepared to flee, while others closed their homes tightly and did not contact the outside world.

In the villages outside, I don’t know how to know the news. Faced with the threat of death, even those who are nostalgic for their apprentices know what to do. If the land is gone, it can be recultivated, but if the people are gone, it will be Really gone.

Many villagers from the nearby outside world brought their families and even entire villages to seek refuge in the county.

Compared with the fenced yards in the villages, the tall stone walls of the county town are more secure.

Yuan Kang, the county magistrate of Kangzhuang County, accepted them in line with the responsibility of local parents and officials.

But the contradiction also broke out.

The residents in the city rejected these villagers because they heard that they had taken refuge from outside the city. If it was because of some bandits, the city residents would be eager to help them, but they came in because of the living corpses.

On Qingyun Mountain, it was rumored that after some people were captured by the living corpses, they didn't get angry on the spot, and they would turn into that kind of monster that was neither human nor ghost after a period of time.

In addition, there are some people who don't know what they think secretly, saying that some of these outside villagers may have been infected with the corpse poison, but it just didn't break out.

This suddenly aroused the hatred of many residents in the county towards the villagers, and wanted the government to drive them out.

And it got worse and worse, Yuan Kang was not stupid, he knew that someone was provoking secretly, just to stir up trouble, so he directly used extraordinary means to arrest these rumor-mongers and interrogate them severely.

Post notices on the other side to appease people.

It did get better, but very soon, someone outside the county made troubles, those people who abandoned the religion, even drove a group of living corpses to wander around the county.

There were only about a hundred people, and they were not here to attack the city, but just to cause panic.

And it's still the size of a provocative haha ​​outside the city.

The county captain wanted to take people out to pursue him, but he was stopped by Yuan Kang. If the corpse poison is really as terrible as the one on Qingyun Mountain, it can't be solved without a strong master.

If those who have abandoned the religion these days are doing things secretly and want to ambush, it is estimated that the city guards in the county may not necessarily be the opponents of the vast number of living corpses.

Yuan Kang didn't know that the group of living corpses he imagined didn't exist. Although there weren't thousands of them, there were hundreds of them, and the combat effectiveness was not high, and there were no masters who could control corpse poison like those taught by Tianqi. , and some are just some ordinary peripheral members who are not really personnel.

They came here to provoke only to fulfill the previous order of the white-haired young man, trying to find a way to delay for ten days near Kangzhuang County, after ten days, someone will come to pick these people up to the place where they were abandoned. Tangkou gave them the right identity.

That's why these cannon fodder are working so hard.

It's just that it's only been four days now, and sooner ones like Chen Zheng and others have already arrived.

The troops from Liaoxi County also began to dispatch.In order to deal with the infectivity of living corpses, Liaoxi County specially recruited the treasures of the county's city guards, and the cavalry battalion came to support them.

These cavalry are not ordinary cavalry, but cavalry archers. There are not many of them, only 500 in Liaoxi County.But the fighting power is very strong.

It is completely based on the prairie people's riding and shooting training.

Not only does it require good flattery, it also requires superb shooting skills.Even if you can't hit the level of the eagle shooters on the grassland, you must be a marksman within 500 meters.

In addition to shooting fixed targets, you also need to know how to shoot moving targets, and you also need to learn some special shooting skills, such as shooting arrows that can be turned.

These skills cannot be developed without long-term training and talent. In order to be able to train this cavalry archer, Liaoxi County must prepare tens of thousands of arrow feathers for their training every day. Out of fighting power.

Now that there are living corpses out, it is easy to be scratched in melee combat, and it will be bad if it is infected. Only long-range attacks are more appropriate.

It's just that if the infantrymen of the city defense army set off from the county to Kangzhuang County, it may take a lot of time, but now every day, the possibility and danger of the living corpses will increase, so the soldiers are very fast.
