The fire burned in the village until the night, and pieces of black shortbread were burned out, blending with the night, with only a few sparks remaining, blown by the wind, the sparks shone, and seemed to have a tendency to burn again.

The population of the village is not large, but corpses lying in the village can be seen everywhere at this moment. In some streets, corpses are piled up together without even a foothold. The corpses still have grease oozing out, and they are sizzling with scorched black lumps. Some of them huddled together, and some even ignored the fire and gnawed on the person beside them, causing his teeth to stick together with the person's arm.

He Shikun kicked away the corpses blocking the way, and he waved his hand to instruct: "Check if there are any living people, if there are... kill them on the spot."

"Yes, General."

The soldiers went to look for survivors, while He Shikun went to the entrance of the village and looked at the soil on the ground. He was trying to identify if anyone had escaped into the forest. If there were, some of the corpse puppets would follow.

"General, there are no survivors in the village."

"Take someone to the mountains and forests to see, and you must not leave any of those ghosts behind, otherwise there will be endless troubles." He Shikun's voice was light, "No one will be left alive."

"Yes, General."

The soldiers entered the forest, leaving only a hundred people behind.

Not long after, three thousand scouts sent by Liang Xie arrived in the village. They were all stunned when they saw this scene. They didn't come back to their senses until He Shikun appeared. He Shikun explained that the villagers here were attacked by infected people and he had no choice but to Caishao Village Baobeixia Pass.

He was telling the truth. It was true that some infected people in the fishing port were looking for food, and they happened to be found in this village by the corpse puppets. As for the other corpse puppets, he had already ordered the deputy general to search around and kill them if they found them.

"By the way, has anyone been to Beixia Pass recently?"

"His Highness Chang Le arrived at Beixia Pass at noon today."

He Shikun narrowed his eyes: "Is she still there?"

"This..." The soldier didn't answer.

He Shikun understood when he saw this, he was angry in his heart, why did he let him go even though Liang Xie blocked the Beixia Pass, and what was worse was that Xia Ningle had to go with him to Beijiang, and his anger turned into worried.

"Leave dozens of people here to deal with the aftermath, and the rest will follow me back to Beixia Pass." He Shikun didn't have time to rest, so he rode his horse and led his people to Beixia Pass overnight.

The team galloped on horseback, shortening the journey by more than half. He arrived at Beixia Pass in the middle of the night. Liang Xie was a little surprised. Before he had time to play Tai Chi with He Shikun, he took out the imperial decree. Liang Xie didn't dare to ramble Pulled, and immediately knelt on the ground.

"From now on, I will dispatch troops from Beixia Pass!"

Liang Xie hesitated for a moment before accepting the imperial decree. He unfolded the imperial decree and took a look. There was indeed a jade seal and it was not a fake. He wondered: "General, the Holy Majesty's health has improved and he has started going to court?"

"It hasn't gotten better. The Holy One is worried about the people. The plague this time is too serious, and so many people have died. In desperation, the Holy Majesty is dragging his sick body. Ankang."

Liang Xie didn't understand the meaning of the imperial decree, and he also didn't understand the twists and turns of the court. When He Shikun was guarding the border, he admired him for being able to kill dozens of enemies by himself. Like a polite minister, Liang Xie didn't like it.

Seeing Liang Xie's suspicious gaze, He Shikun snorted coldly: "Liang Xie, if you are asked to block Beixia Pass, how can you let His Highness go to such a dangerous place in Northern Xinjiang?"

"This...Your Highness is a king after all, and we are ministers. If His Highness insists on leaving the customs, I will not be able to stop him." Liang Xie always felt that He Shikun's intentions were strange, and he suddenly felt that he was right to let him go.

"Stupid and ignorant." He Shikun didn't have time to argue with him, "Forget it, you gather 1 people first, and I will go out to look for His Highness tomorrow morning."

"Yes, General."

……

Si Qinglian's team rode for a long time. When it was dark, they stopped by a stream to rest. They didn't meet anyone along the way. This is not a good thing. Usually, there is trade between Northern Xinjiang and the Imperial City. Yes, even if there is plague, many people should have fled to the imperial city.

But there were no traces of people walking on the road. It is very likely that the northern Xinjiang area has been sealed off by itself in order not to spread the plague.

"Before the sun goes down tomorrow, we should be able to reach northern Xinjiang." Geng Zhi handed Xia Ningle some dry food and then led the horse to the stream to drink water.

Xia Ningle looked down at the dry food in her hand, and then at Si Qinglian beside the bonfire. The other party didn't seem to notice her here. Si Qinglian usually gave her food, but now it was handed over by Geng Zhi. Want to come here People are still thinking about what happened the day before yesterday, but they are quite grudges, but they seem more lively.

Sitting next to Si Qinglian, she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. After seeing Si Qinglian took a few bites of pancakes, she turned around and leaned against the bed sheet that Chun'er had made. Xia Ningle felt awkward for a moment. , but then she brazenly moved to Si Qinglian's side: "Your Highness doesn't look very well, is it because you're too busy and tired?"

An embarrassing expression means that the other party is angry.

Si Qinglian glanced at her: "I'm not tired."

Xia Ningle slowly approached Si Qinglian: "But I'm tired."

When Xia Ningle was leaning on Si Qinglian's shoulder, she could feel that for a moment, Si Qinglian straightened her back so that Xia Ningle could lean on her more comfortably. She has already let go of her posture, it seems that Si Qinglian's persistence will change because of Xia Ningle at any time.

This undoubtedly made Xia Ningle feel flattered, and it made him feel how stupid and bad what he said the day before yesterday. Xia Ningle felt more pressured and felt guilty. She couldn't explain it other than sighing, so she could only rely on it Looking at the other party, seeking the slightest response from the other party.

Xu Shi was about to arrive in northern Xinjiang, Si Qinglian relaxed a bit, and slowly softened/body, leaned on Xia Ningle's shoulder, breathing gradually flattened, and fell asleep first, but Xia Ningle was still awake, and then Quietly straightened up, and supported Si Qinglian to lie down. At first, Xia Ningle didn't notice Si Qinglian's abnormality. She thought it was because she was too tired, so she slept soundly and deeply.

Song Yuhang took a sip of the goat's milk wine he brewed, smacked his lips and came to Xia Ningle's side. Seeing that Si Qinglian was asleep, he could only whisper, "Lele, do you want to drink the goat's milk wine?"

Xia Ningle shook her head: "Drink less."

Song Yuhang curled his lips. In this horrible doomsday, he would die at any time. If he doesn't enjoy it now, is it possible to go to the Hall of Yama to drink after he dies?No, he didn't want to.

Song Yuhang took another sip, and from the corner of his eye, he saw the bushes shaking in the distance. He thought he had drunk too much, so he rubbed his eyes, and when he saw the calm, he scratched his cheek in doubt: "Strange, There just seemed to be something over there."

Xia Ningle looked back.

It was too dark to see clearly, the eyes were covered with a black veil, hazy, the cold night wind chilled my heart through the skin, in an unknown area, it seemed that there was something terrifying waiting.

"Gengzhi, please go over there and take a look." Xia Ningle yelled, and when Geng Zhi took a torch to check, she suddenly realized that it was unreasonable for Si Qinglian to have no reaction at all when she yelled so loudly. .

She looked down, and saw that Si Qinglian's face was flushed red, and she reached out to touch her forehead. It was so hot that it made people panic, and she said again: "Your Highness has a fever!"

Geng Zhi stamped his feet and looked back.

Four Seasons hurriedly surrounded Si Qinglian, but did not notice that the torch in Geng Zhi's hand shone a burly shadow. The shadow was a wild beast, and it was on all fours. When Geng Zhi looked again, the shadow took a step closer and reflected it. Dirty hair, and a pair of gray rotten eyes, there is no good flesh on its body, and there are potholes everywhere.

"Tiger!" Geng Zhi shouted.

Everyone took up their weapons and shields in shock, Xia Ningle looked at the unconscious Si Qinglian, bit his lips and said, "Siji, please support Your Highness first."

"Your Highness told me before that no matter what happens, I have to protect you." Qiu'er held the knife in her hand and handed Si Qinglian to the other three, "You take care of Your Highness."

The tiger's figure disappeared into the forest at once, and the surrounding grass trembled from time to time. Apparently this thing saw the torch in Geng Zhi's hand and went around to the back of the team. Everyone took the torch and leaned on each other to protect Si Qinglian in the center.

The tiger seemed to be unable to find a breakthrough, so he roared a little anxiously, and could only walk out of the forest in Yingzang. His eyes, which could no longer see clearly, seemed to be able to see the prey, which made people feel hairy. Xia Ning was happy and Qiu'er secretly took the bow and arrow, and aimed at the tiger's head.

At the moment when the bow and arrow were shot, the tiger also rushed towards everyone and smashed it with its huge body. Both bows and arrows shot at its head, and finally only hit the ground, rolling a layer of soil, and then, a scream It sounded, and the smell of blood spread with the night wind. Xia Ningle followed the sound and saw that it was another infected tiger, which threw a student down. The powerful masseter muscle directly emptied his chest cavity, and the student just twitched They didn't move anymore. Just now everyone thought there was only one tiger, so they all focused on that tiger. Unexpectedly, they were caught in a neutral position.

The tiger who successfully attacked roared at the crowd and demonstrated ruthlessly and coldly. The student sat up slowly, his eyes were also stained with a layer of gray, and shouted to everyone in demonstration like the tiger, and responded frankly: "Kill!"

The guard slashed at the infected student with a knife, and Geng Zhi came up to the tiger with his shield. The tiger jumped on the shield, ignoring the knife stabbed in his body, and pressed the burly Geng Zhi to the ground with a sharp arrow. , it seemed that he was afraid of hurting Geng Zhi, so the arrow was shot a little crookedly, passing across its rotting face, and piercing its shoulder.

The tiger bit the shield and shook his head lightly. Gengzhi and the shield dangled together, like a cat playing with a mouse. Gengzhi's back kept rubbing against the ground. The burning pain made him cry out in pain. The tiger's sharp claws Buckled on the shield and pulled it, Geng Zhi felt that he could no longer hold the shield, so he let go decisively, the tiger fell to the ground following the shaking inertia, and Geng Zhi rolled away from the tiger on the spot.

The arrows in Xia Ningle and Qiu'er's hands were released quickly, and the arrow feathers spun at a high speed, slid out of a beautiful straight line and nailed to the tiger's head. As for the students who became corpse puppets, they were not as difficult to deal with as tigers, and their heads had already been beheaded.
