Chapter Seventy-Six: The Tide of Undead Corpses
The Land of the Northern Barbarians.
Thousands of miles away from the border of the Nansheng continent.
A contingent of more than a thousand men marched slowly.
They were the army that Zhang Hao sent to Xincheng to escort supplies, and of course, they had another task on their trip.
"Brother Gai, did you say that kid Zhang Jie ate the bear's heart and leopard gall? Hou Ye sent three carrier pigeons in a row without reply, could it be that he really wants to establish himself as the king?"
"How many times have I told you, Zhang Jie is now the city lord, pay attention to proportionality when speaking, and besides, don't say anything you shouldn't say. The general looked a little displeased.
"Yes, yes, yes! The subordinates know their mistakes!" The deputy general hurriedly laughed, and then said slowly: "You say, why does Lord Hou want us to escort some affiliated tribe untouchables back?"
The general obviously loves the lieutenant general, although he doesn't like the other party to talk too much, he still said truthfully: "It is said that it is an order conveyed by Wang Cheng." ”
"Wangcheng?" The deputy general was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "What does Wangcheng want to do with the untouchables of the affiliated tribes?"
"You ask me, who do I ask?" The general became impatient, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Huan, although you are my cousin, there are some things, I still listen more and watch less and talk less." ”
The deputy general was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to continue to say more.
Suddenly, the horses began to neigh, and even worse, jumped up and down and fled desperately.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, most of the soldiers were defenseless and fell off their horses one after another, and the scene was chaotic.
"What's going on?" the general forcibly stopped his restless mount, his face darkened in horror.
The soldiers could not answer this question, and in fact, they were also confused.
In this chaos, two-thirds of the horses ran away, and even the horses escorting the supplies were running blindly.
The general saw that several horses escorting the supplies had run away, and reprimanded angrily: "Don't chase me back quickly, if these things are lost, ten heads will not be enough for the Hou Ye to cut off." ”
The soldiers came back to their senses, and then hurried to recover the wagon carrying the supplies.
At this moment, a soldier looked strange, staring blankly at the horizontal line ahead.
"What's that?"
At the end of the horizon, dense black dots sprung up.
Soon, more soldiers noticed the anomaly.
Not good!
The general's face changed drastically, and he roared violently: "Array, enemy attack!"
The phalanx took shape quickly, but the hearts of the soldiers did not relax because of this formation, but became tighter and tighter.
There are too many enemies! There is no end in sight.
When did there appear so many enemies in the Northern Barbarian Lands?
Wrong!
The general's eyes suddenly opened, and the horror in his eyes was unobstructed.
"Dead people! They are dead people!"
Panic completely erupted in the phalanx.
The corpses approached quickly, their appearance was hideous, and their roars were like ghosts, and the speed was so fast that it was staggering.
"Help!"
"Run!"
In the panicked roar, the phalanx collapsed, and everyone was eager to grow an extra pair of legs.
However, how could the panicked soldiers outrun the beast-like corpses, and they were quickly annihilated in the blink of an eye.
In the air, only heart-rending screams and heart-wrenching screams remained.
Western Regions Shenzhou.
Huaxia Kingdom.
The execution ground was crowded with people, and the spacious square was instantly congested.
In the execution ground, thousands of people were tied up and knelt, shouting injustices in an endless stream, of course, most of them were from high-ranking officials and important ministers, Ye Gucheng was upset when he heard it, and ordered to be sealed.
In fact, there were only more than a dozen courtiers who were tortured, and the rest were soldiers escorted from all over the world.
Ye Gucheng's move was to re-establish the hearts of the people, and he wanted to declare war on all those who ignored the laws of the kingdom, so he deliberately concentrated on execution.
"Take it from the people, use it for the people, the iron law of the kingdom! Huaxia country, soldiers do not hurt the people, do not disturb the people, for the country's sharp soldiers, the people's strong shield. ”
Ye Gucheng's voice is not loud, but it can be heard in the hearts of the people, but every word is like thunder.
"But there are some people who eat the country, use the sweat of the people, and when the kingdom is in danger, they do not think of being loyal to the country, and they commit all kinds of evil acts of adultery and plunder, the kingdom is shameless, and the people are spurned, should such people be killed?"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The roar of the mountains and the sea rushed down the people to the sky, the wind, trembling, the earth, trembling!
On the execution platform, several high-ranking officials changed color, they became more and more unaccustomed to Ye Gucheng's style, acting like this, how could it be the way of the king, all dynasties and dynasties, for the sake of the untouchables, and killed the military generals of Wenchen, only Ye Gucheng was alone!
Such a kingdom would be an absolute disaster for them, but they did not dare to stand up and resist because they were afraid of death!
"Slash!"
The knife fell, and thousands of human heads fell to the ground in an instant.
Far from causing panic among the people, the bloody scene caused countless people to fall to their knees and weep.
"Commander Qianqiu! Commander Qianqiu! Commander Qianqiu!"
At this moment, the military and the people are united, offering supreme respect.
Shrine.
"Ye Gucheng is really ruthless enough, is he really not afraid of the death of the country?" The elder priest couldn't have imagined that Ye Gucheng would be so cold-blooded, when he was the prime minister of the left and the important minister of the kingdom, he would kill if he said he would.
"Now, because of Ye Gucheng's move, the people are supporting it in unison! Sect Master, temples around the country have reported urgently, the number of believers has dropped sharply, and even the priests who have sworn allegiance to the temple have rebelled against the temple and joined the army. The red-robed bishop almost didn't dare to look directly at Zhang Xiaoxu.
"It's the other way around! What are the Golden Regiments doing to eat? Just let these cheap servants rebel against the temple?" The elder priest was furious.
The Golden Regiment pursued all the way, but was intercepted by the Chinese army on the way, and the whole regiment was annihilated. ”
"What did you say?" This time, Zhang Xiaoxu also changed color.
The red-robed bishop gritted his teeth and continued to say sadly: "Not only that, but the Huaxia army also unscrupulously sealed our temple on the grounds of killing civilians, and beheaded many green-robed bishops on the spot. ”
The audience was silent.
"Sect Master, now that everyone in the bishops is in danger, and the number of believers in the church has decreased significantly, how is this good!"
"Huaxia Kingdom, this is a declaration of war on our temple. The older priest almost gritted his teeth.
"High Priest, don't be impatient, at the beginning, you decided to attack Ye Gucheng, weren't you already ready to declare war?" Zhang Xiaoxu glanced at the older priest coldly, and immediately, he said in a deep voice to the red-robed bishop: "Inform the bishops of the temples in various places, from now on, the temples will be closed, and all believers will not be allowed to pray to the gods, just say, the demons are in charge, the gods are angry, and natural disasters are coming." ”
The red-robed bishop's eyes lit up and he took the order.
"That's right!" Another red-robed bishop seemed to remember something, and replied: "Sect Master, a few days ago, we found that there was no trace of the golden dragon on Ye Gucheng's side. ”
Zhang Xiaoxu's heart moved, and he said slowly: "Have you read carefully?"
"I couldn't be wrong! I waited and watched it several times. ”
"Interesting!" This news is definitely good news for Zhang Xiaoxu, he thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Find a way to find out if the golden dragon is still in the royal capital." ”
"What does the sect leader mean, the golden dragon has left Ye Gu City?" The elder priest looked uplifted.
"Ye Gucheng has a habit, but whenever he is executed, he must carry the golden dragon has the effect of deterrence, and now he kills the important ministers of the country in public, there is no reason not to bring the golden dragon, unless, the golden dragon leaves him. Zhang Xiaoxu thought of this possibility, his heart was extremely excited, you must know that the reason why Ye Gucheng was able to deter the three armies was more because of the divine power of the golden dragon, and Ye Gucheng without the golden dragon was like an eagle with broken wings, not to be afraid!
Wolong Palace.
Qingshan is still there, but Ying Long is lost!
Ye Gucheng sat silently on the rockery, looking at Qingshan Lake Tan, his eyes were extremely gloomy.
If Ying Long is still alive, there is no reason not to come to him!
The terrible thought that the golden dragon was dead grew stronger and stronger in his heart.
"Did you see that? It's scary!"
"Don't talk about it! I'm still beating my heart hard. ”
"You say, could Li Yue'er really be a demon?"
"It must be, how can someone have gray hair at a young age, I don't look at her now, I heard that looking at the demon will take away the soul. ”
"Oh, it's terrible! I just accidentally glanced at her, as if I had made eye contact with her. ”
"Quick, pray to the gods, I heard that praying to the gods can ward off the magic of demons. ”
"Oh!" the maid hurriedly closed her eyes and prayed for the protection of the gods.
These are two young maids, and because the Wolong Hall is vacant, it is now gradually becoming a place for the slaves to whisper.
Unlucky, they ran into Ye Gucheng!
"Commander!" The older maid saw Ye Gucheng walk out with a black face, and was so frightened that she knelt down in a panic.
When the praying maid heard this, she was so frightened that she couldn't care about the gods, and they all knelt down and bowed down.
"Good! very good! you guys are so good!" Ye Gucheng was furious and happy, he couldn't have imagined that Li Yue'er had become the embodiment of demons in the eyes of these people.
During this time, Li Yue'er lived in a simple house, and Ye Gucheng thought that because she was not used to showing people with white hair, she was worried about how to enlighten, but now it seems that she is afraid of the eyes of the people around her.
"Commander-in-chief, spare your life!"
The two maids were so frightened that they kowtowed repeatedly.
"Come on!" If the eyes can kill, Ye Gucheng can't wait to immediately break the two maids into pieces.
"See the commander!" several palace guards rushed in in a panic.
"Take them ... Ye Gucheng's angry fingers trembled very badly, gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "Drag it out, hit the twenty boards, and drive it out of the palace." ”
The two maids couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and knelt down again and again to thank them.
Although the palace guards didn't know when the commander changed his temper, they didn't dare to ask, so they dragged the maid away.
Eiyue Pavilion.
Ye Gucheng slowly pushed open the closed door of the hall, and the empty and quiet hall made his heart sour.
At Li Yue'er's request, there are no servants in the Yiyue Pavilion at any time.
Pushing open the inner hall, Li Yue'er was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, her body shrunk, and her beautiful and bewitching face did not have the innocent smile of the past, looking like a pool of stagnant water from a distance.
"Yue'er. Ye Gucheng endured the bitterness in his heart and walked over with a smile. "Brother-in-law is still thinking, where did you go, brother-in-law has newly invented a kite, shall we fly a kite?"
"It's not good, Yue'er doesn't want to go anywhere. Li Yue'er's eyelids drooped, and her voice was indescribably lonely.
"Why?" Ye Gucheng sat down gently next to the bed.
"Brother-in-law, Yue'er has become ugly, everyone doesn't like me!" Li Yue'er said that she was sad, and hugged Ye Gucheng and cried loudly. "Brother-in-law, can you change my hair back, Yue'er doesn't like herself more and more, Yue'er can't go out to play anymore, woo!"
Ye Gucheng knew that he couldn't cry, but his tears still couldn't help but slip quietly.
In order to save him, Li Yue'er sacrificed too much!
