Vol 8 Chapter 22: Difficult to evacuate
The flames gradually lit up Chengzhou City, and the soldiers, holding torches, began knocking on doors to get the people to evacuate.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Open the door!"
"You guys are so brave! Do you know who we are?! Our master is a doctor of the Ministry of War in the capital!"
"Officers and soldiers are bullying people—wanting to rob us—"
"We will never leave Chengzhou—you don't want to come in—"
The lack of cooperation of the people made the evacuation extremely difficult. Even in Chengzhou in the middle of the night, the evacuation had not yet been completed. General Yuchi threw the table angrily, who is bullying whom?
On the road from the east gate of Chengzhou to the next state city, there are torches connected together. A long team is slowly moving forward, turning into a thin fire dragon, winding between the mountains and forests. It is very difficult to evacuate Chengzhou. It can be done overnight.
In Taotie's lair, Lian Youyou had already wiped off the sword, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, pulled out the mad flame, the flame was extinguished immediately, but the temperature inside was still high and the surrounding gold began to melt.
Lian Youyou packed up all the swords, dragged them to the exit, and shouted: "Hei Yan, carry something."
Hei Yan reluctantly came in and picked up those knives and guns: "It's not that I'm discouraged, even if I have this, I can't stop thousands of gluttons."
"Okay, what I'm worried about now is not that the weapons are not enough, but that the evacuation in Chengzhou is not going well." Lian Youyou rolled up her sleeves and went back with Hei Yan.
Hei Yan turned to look at Lian Youyou: "As long as we can stop her in Liangzhou, the cities behind will not be dangerous."
Lian Youyou shook her head: "Liangzhou is too big, the only exit is only relative to humans, beast? It can't be stopped."
Hei Yan's eyes widened: "Then you are making a big cake for Yu Chifeng and the others!"
Lian Youyou rolled her eyes: "Otherwise, what should we do? Tell them the truth? Let them lose hope? Only when there is hope can human beings realize their potential. It is almost dawn, and we have to set up traps before dawn, and put All the gluttons are led to one place so they don't run around."
"How can this be induced?" Hei Yan was puzzled, "The Taotie won't listen to you."
Lian Youyou looked at Hei Yan with a funny face: "Give them whatever they like to eat."
"Meat!" Hei Yan shouted, "Where did you get so much meat?!"
"You'll know when the time comes." Lian Youyou blinked at Hei Yan, jumped onto Hei Yan's back, "Go down the mountain quickly."
Hei Yan immediately galloped into the dark night.
It was already the third watch at the foot of the mountain, and there were more and more people. The mountain people who were brought down by the Fat Buddha also quickly joined in the digging. Lian Youyou really guessed that these mountain people would not run away when they saw the monster.
When Yuchi Shaolang went to take pictures of the gate of the village in the middle of the night, he was laughed at, saying how their soldiers were so weak, and their legs went limp after being frightened by a few beasts. Then when Yuchi Shaolang threw half of the animal's head in, everyone saw that the animal's head was as big as a hill, and immediately opened the gate of the village and ran away.
Coupled with Fat Buddha's flying artifact, these mountain people believed that there was a **** coming and came to rescue them. So after running down, he also voluntarily joined the pit-digging brigade to perform well in front of the gods.
An animal head plus an artifact is more useful than the words of Yu Chifeng, a state official.
Just as everyone started to add firewood to the pit and pour in all kinds of lamp rapeseed oil, Lian Youyou rode Heiyan down the mountain.
People who had never seen Lian Youyou first saw Hei Yan and shouted in horror: "The monster has gone down the mountain—the monster has gone down the mountain—"
Everyone around panicked and started running.
Yu Chifeng came over immediately, recognized Lian Youyou at a glance, and immediately shouted: "Don't be afraid! It's Goddess Lian!"
When everyone heard that it was the legendary Goddess Lian, their eyes showed reverence immediately, and they all knelt down to welcome Lian Youyou down the mountain.
Hei Yan jumped over them and landed in front of Yu Chifeng.
Hearing Lian Youyou's return, people from Lin Tingjun and He Shiqi's nine sects also returned to Lian Youyou's body one after another. Yuchi Shaolang stood in front of Lian Youyou in reverence, and shouted excitedly: "Master!"
The women who were helping on the construction site also looked over curiously. This was the second time that Lu Shi and Yuchi Xiaojing saw Lian Youyou, the legendary goddess who came to save them.
Lian Youyou looked at the kneeling people around her, and inexplicably jumped off the black flame: "What are they doing?"
Fat Buddha leaned over: "When you are a god, when you are a god."
Lian Youyou hooked her lips and smiled, isn't she a god?
Lin Tingjun and He Shiqi looked at the corners of Lian Youyou's raised mouth, and they knew that she was terrified now.
Lian Youyou immediately jumped onto Heiyan's back, stood tall, and looked down at the densely packed crowd kneeling in front of her: "Everyone, get up! I have something very important to explain!"
Everyone stood up one after another, looking up at Lian Youyou with respect and admiration. Lian Youyou's white figure had a special halo in the shining firelight, and that halo was really dazzling like the light on the body of a true god.
Lian Youyou looked at Yuchi Shaolang first: "Have everyone been saved?"
"Just come down! The six villages have 3,600 people, but there are still five villages..." Yuchi Shaolang lowered his head heavily, "The five villages have about 2,000 people."
All of a sudden, everyone fell silent, some sobbed silently, some sighed, and some shook their heads in heartache.
Hearing more than two thousand people, Lian Youyou was also sap in the heart.
She calmed down and looked at Yuchifeng: "Master Yuchi, take someone to report to Songcheng and Chengzhou immediately. I believe the crown prince and your father should have gone to Songcheng and Chengzhou respectively."
Yu Chifeng looked surprised, and exchanged glances with Lu Shi.
"You already have experience, so you take Guo De and Guo Gang to teach them how to use realgar and garlic for self-defense." Lian Youyou continued to instruct.
"Yes!" Yu Chifeng looked at Lian Youyou reassuringly, there was Lian Youyou here, so he didn't have to worry.
"Also, there are 100,000 people in Chengzhou, so it's not easy to evacuate, but the people inside must be emptied, even pigs, sheep and cattle can't be kept! The method is the same as that of Young Wolf, you take a beast head, I believe this will depend on Chengzhou. People who don't leave the state will flee quickly." When Lian Youyou finished speaking, those mountain people who had originally laughed at Yuchi Shaolang looked a little embarrassed.
"Okay! Guo De Guo Gang, pull the carriage and drag the beast's head!" Yu Chifeng waved his hand, and Guo De Guo Gang and Yu Chifeng immediately rushed to Songcheng.
Lu Shi and Yuchi Xiaojing chased them out, and Yuchifeng held their hands: "The government office is the safest place now, you should go back as soon as the sky is about to dawn!"
"I know, husband, you have to be more careful." Lushi tightened the sulfur medicine bag on Yuchifeng's belt again.
"Father..." Yuchi Xiaojing hugged Yuchifeng tightly. This was the first time she was worried. Before when her father went to war, she never worried, because her father was the most powerful general. She is really scared of the monster.
