Chapter 44 Empty City
Today's first update, the book on the home page has been recommended. I hope the book friends will support it! There will be three mores today...
"What's the sound outside? It seems that there are a lot of bees wandering outside the city.
"Ye, it's really strange. Why don't we open the gate and have a look." The two soldiers guarding the gate had their ears close to the gate, and then they were driven by strong curiosity to open the door.
The moment the door was opened, the dark insect clouds swarmed like a storm, and the two immediately became the midnight snack of these evil insects. They didn't even have time to shout for help, because their mouths and stomachs were full of stinking corpses!
The whole Jianye City immediately fell into the end, and countless corpses and insects poured in ferociously and devoured all the living things. They seem to have been hungry in hell for hundreds of years, seeing what they eat.
"Who knocked on the door early in the morning?"
"Squeak..."
Ah? Devil! The devil!"
............
When the rising sun rose, the whole Jianye had become extremely quiet. It was not that everyone did not get up, but that most of the people in the city had become a meal under the mouth of insects, and some people fled Jianye City.
Su Jing struggled to climb out of the collapsed ruins, and everyone else had escaped from the ruins.
"Last night was really terrible. I was almost eaten by those disgusting bugs." The scholar was shocked. His clothes were messy and his eyes were dull.
Chen Zhan also sat on the gravel and looked at the extremely desolate Jianye City in front of him.
"The strength of such a big city turned into a dead city ruins overnight is really great!" Su Jing looked at the ruins and couldn't help sighing from the bottom of her heart. They are all ghosts made of those corpses! Humph, the corpse is sanctified? It's not making fantasy movies, which makes it so mysterious.
Li Zhang also saved his life. He took out a fireworks from his messy sleeves and lit it in the sky.
"A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet?"
"Brother Su is right. This is the code I used to contact the army. I think someone will respond immediately. I think the whole Jianghuai Province will face a war soon. Li Zhang said.
"War? What do you mean, prince? He Yihan was puzzled.
Su Jing immediately said, "I said how could the emperor send you to deal with the afterlife of the plague? He dared to guard against your uncle."
"That's right, but I don't know why Uncle cleaned up this Jianye City into an empty city?" Li Zhang said.
Everyone was extremely surprised. Hearing what the king of Dongqi meant, was it that the king of Zhennan was going to rise up?
"This is a little puzzling..."
At noon, Su Jing, King Dongqi and others had arrived outside the city. To Su Jing's surprise, Sun Shi's sister Sun Fei also escaped this disaster. Although Sun Fei's clothes are not neat at this moment, there is no wound on her body.
Lin Yun saw Sun Fei's pitiful appearance and handed her a handkerchief.
"I don't know how the people of the Xie family are doing?" Su Jing looked at the location of Xie's house with some worries.
Sun Fei looked at Su Jing's worried look and said, "Don't worry. Last night, when I fled outside the city, I saw the Xie family. They all ran out of Jianye City smoothly. At this moment, they should have found a safe place to settle down. With the wealth of the Xie family, it is not difficult to survive anywhere.
After listening to Sun Fei's explanation, Su Jing was relieved. With the strength of the Xie family, it should not be difficult to keep the two ladies.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Although Su Jing has a plan in his heart at this moment, there is a prince standing at this moment, and he has to listen to the high power in everything.
Li Zhang, the king of Eastern Qi, looked at Jianye City in the distance and said, "The people I sent have been ambushed around Jianye City. I don't know what tricks the old fox of the emperor wants to play. The woods in the west of the city are foggy, and no one can get close to it. I think we have to find out the secrets in the forest in the west of the city first.
"Yes, what you said is reasonable. I don't know if the prince of Zhennan has hoarded the army? Su Jing was very curious. Although he heard the old woman of General Qin's mansion and the king of Dongqi say that the king of Zhennan was rebellious, you have to have capital. But up to now, you can't even see the shadow of an anti-thief.
"Not yet, but Uncle has indeed disappeared. Do you doubt Su Jing?"
Su Jing did not hide anything and said bluntly, "I don't understand. Since the king of Zhennan wants to counterattack, the army should always have it, the arsenal should also be there, and the granary should be more. But we haven't seen these necessary things.
"Ha ha, Su Jing, you think things too easily. If everything happens under your nose, he can't reverse it. Su Jing, do you think the assassination case you found last time is so simple?" Li Zhang said calmly.
"What? Is there anything hidden in the last case? He Yihan also asked at this time.
Li Zhang took a deep breath and said, "I also have a general understanding of the last case. In fact, that case involved the scandal of his uncle ten years ago. I remember that the dead Du Chudi is still the leader of Wanhua Tower. Hey... Unfortunately... I want to say that Du Chudi's hometown was destroyed by the king of Zhennan, and the town The people driven by the Southern King are the assassin Zhou Wen, Wang Lingsong, and the rich businessman Qian Lai.
"What? No wonder Yan Song said that at the end of that day... But why did the king of Zhennan destroy the whole village of Du Chudi?
"It's very simple. The news of his rebellion has been known by others." The king of Dongqi took a sip of tea, "You know that the dead Zuo prime minister Ouyang Xun was also planted because of his opposition to the king of Zhennan everywhere."
No one expected that the king of Zhennan would be such a cruel person in the mouth of the king of Dongqi!
"The plague in Jianye City was so big that my brother asked me to investigate, and there were 50,000 elite soldiers secretly escorting him. It is to guard against the old fox. Su Jing, you are a talent. If you can grasp the handle of the king of Zhennan this time, you will be in the court all the way in the future. Li Zhang turned his words and patted Su Jing on the shoulder and said.
Lin Yun's eyes also showed envy. It has always been Lin Yun's dream to become an official. However, Su Jing, who doesn't want to be an official, always has a high-ranking man who throws off olive branches.
"King of Dongqi, you praised it. Su just wants to deal with the affairs in the detective office. As for entering the dynasty as an official, he doesn't have that intention for the time being. But I can recommend one, Lin Yun, come here." Su Jing also saw Lin Yun, who showed his desire, so he immediately recommended it.
"Ha ha, I really haven't seen such a person. Instead of being an official, I give the opportunity to my servant." The king of Dongqi smiled and said, "I admire you more and more. It seems that the three inspectors are right. Since the person you recommended, I will naturally reuse it."
Fifty miles outside Jianye City, tents were set up, and the people who had not yet died lived in it.
Su Jing was busy all afternoon. He Yihan, Lin Yun and Chen looked forward to Su Jing and were busy left and right, and they couldn't get involved.
"Su Jing, what are you doing?" He Yihan couldn't help it, so he asked about the sticky things made by Su Jing.
Su Jing raised his head and said, "I'm making a gas mask. Don't worry. When I'm done, we can go into the dense forest to find out." After saying that, he was immersed in the production again.
When the sun was about to set, there was finally news in Jianye City. The soldiers who came to report the news said such a terrible picture: "In Jianye City, many white ghosts and corpses are rampant, as if they have occupied the whole Jianye City!"
"Is there such a strange thing?" The scholar felt strange.
The king of Dongqi nodded, "I don't know where those bodies came from, and suddenly appeared in Jianye City. The gate is closed.
Just as everyone was discussing things, Su Jing suddenly ran in with a big knife and released the case of the king of knives: "Today's slaughter of the city! Let's kill those guys pretending to be ghosts directly and kill them to cry!"
Everyone was stunned, but Su Jing's bold words were beyond the expectation of many people.
"Su Jing, don't joke. There are all rotten corpses in the city. Are you sure you can beat them?" Li Zhang warned.
"Cord corpse? If it were really a rotten corpse, it wouldn't have come out to move around! That must be the behind-the-scenes trick to fool everyone!" Su Jing said, "There must be something strange about the sudden appearance of so many corpses in the city! This is also a good opportunity for us to rush in and explore clearly!"
The soldiers whispered that although Su Jing did not believe in ghosts and gods, the soldiers did not necessarily.
Li Zhang, the king of Eastern Qi, thought about it carefully and seemed to have made a decision. The long sword pulled and said, "Okay! Su Jing, I support you! Ladies and gentlemen, I order that let us go in now and kill those bodies that will never be reincarnated!"
When the other soldiers saw the king of Eastern Qi first made a statement, their blood boiled. They agreed in unison, and then in the quiet fall of night, the King of Eastern Qi and Su Jing led more than 1,000 soldiers into the city and began to slaughter the "walking dead"!
