Chu Qi took the accelerated train, and in less than three days, he had already arrived in Jiangling.

During the state of combat readiness, the entire rail transit line was blocked, and only the military was allowed to use it, and it worked around the clock to transport personnel, materials, and grain and grass to Gangneung County.

Ordnance, rations, boots, uniforms......

Once you leave Gangneung, it is equivalent to entering the border between Zhaoguo and Zhuguo, and the track of Zhaoguo has not been repaired there, and it must be transported by boat, from the waterway.

Because of this, with Gangneung as a transit point, hundreds of thousands of supplies were pulled to the front line with the 200,000-strong army.

After Chu Qi came to Jiangling County with a whole set of right prime ministers, with the assistance of the county guard, he quickly took over the affairs of the whole county and prepared everything in an orderly manner.

Hearing of the arrival of the prime minister of Zhaoguo, many officials and families naturally wanted to meet him.

Jiangling County was the capital of Zhu Wang in the past, and among the three nobles surnamed Zhuguo, there were many who had no time to escape at that time, and all of them surrendered to Zhaoguo.

Although Zhao Guo accepted them leniently and allowed them to multiply in the region.

But depriving them of their status as nobles, taking away most of their slaves, and making them only a rich man who is a king and hegemon, has always made them dissatisfied.

But for Chu Qi, the eldest son of the king, everyone's mood is even more complicated.

The person who still misses the glory of the country and wants to get close to him, but the other party is the prime minister of Zhaoguo; If you want to show loyalty to Zhaoguo, get close to him, and the other party is the eldest son of the king of Zhuguo.

In such a situation, I really don't know what to do.

The irony is that when most of the officials and families of Gangneung County have evil intentions, the situation is strangely controlled.

After all, no one knew what the others were thinking, and when they saw that no one dared to approach Chu Qi, they didn't dare to approach either.

For such scenes, Chu Qi is very calm.

After Xin Sheng led the 100,000 army to start first, and the follow-up 100,000 troops were about to come, Chu Qi's work was a little easier, so he said to the left and right: "I want to go out for a walk." ”

The henchmen, subordinates, and dependents immediately followed, and the county guards and county commanders also followed.

The former palace of King Zhu has been transformed into the palace of Zhaoguo.

Even if the king has never been lucky to be here, there are white-headed palace people and temple people, who are cleaned smoothly and cleanly, but at this time they serve as temporary material hoarding and transfer.

Chu Qi stood in front of the palace for a while, and everyone was worried that he wanted to go in, but when they saw him, he shook his head, walked to the outskirts of the city again, looked at the mountains in the north in silence, and sat quietly for a whole day.

When the county guard's henchman saw this, he said, "My lord, you'd better have less contact with An Pingjun these days." ”

"That's what I mean."

Don't you know that the north of Gangneung is the royal tomb of the ancestors of the Zhuguo Dynasty?

But on the day Gangneung was breached, the Jongmyo Temple was burned down, and the royal tomb was completely bulldozed by the army of Zhaoguo, and it was destroyed in the mountains.

Only tomb robbers who want money and don't want their lives dare to continue to drill into it.

Seeing this kind of scene with his own eyes, how could Chu Qi's mood be better?

The county guard didn't want to defy the wind at this time, so he found a business reason the next day, and did not meet with Chu Qi for the time being, and other officials had learned from it.

For a time, the atmosphere in Gangneung County was clear, and the officials were willing to work hard.

Chu Qi knew that they were hiding from him, but he didn't mind, and visited everything Zhu Guo had done with interest.

Royal palaces, royal tombs, temples, altars......

His subordinates knew that he wanted to see the traces of his homeland, and he was not in a very good mood, so they went to inquire about the kind of place that was quite wild, not sad, but full of the customs of the country, and took him to a witch temple on this day.

The incense in the temple was flourishing, and people came in and out from time to time, and when they saw their team coming, they were busy avoiding it.

"Where is this?"

The henchman told him the news he had heard, and said it one by one: "According to legend, the Black Emperor has a favorite concubine, and every time the Black Emperor goes on an expedition, she has to accompany her, but unfortunately he dies here. The Black Emperor was overwhelmed with grief, and in order to avoid touching the scene, he did not want to set foot on this land again in this life and this life, so he sealed this place to his subordinate general Zhurong. ”

"The soul of the favorite concubine is knowing, and she misses the Black Emperor's affection, and vows to protect this land forever."

Speaking of this, realizing that the so-called "protection" did not play a role, the henchmen were busy remedy: "But for hundreds of years, it was only women who believed in such legends and came here to worship, just to seek the favor of their husbands. If it weren't for that, this witch temple wouldn't have been preserved for so long. ”

When Chu Qi heard this, his face changed: "This is folk obscenity. ”

Ordinary people, who only have the right to sacrifice their ancestors, can they sacrifice others at will?

But all temples should also be set up by the government, what is this unwritten mountain and wild witch temple for the people?

The henchman hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." ”

"Let's tear it down!" Chu Qi didn't seem to be very interested, but was a little bored, "You go and persuade the people to leave." ”

After that, he looked at the dependents and bowed for a while: "I hope you will go with me, destroy the statues, and demolish the temple." ”

Ordinary people are still a little afraid of destroying hundreds of years of witch temples, even if it is a rural sacrifice. But the dependents were naturally not afraid, so without saying a word, they followed Chu Qi in.

As soon as they stepped into the main hall, everyone felt a warm current and couldn't help frowning slightly.

It seems that this temple is really a little evil.

There was only one temple in the temple, a gray-haired, wrinkled and spotted woman, with her teeth gone, who was no longer recognizable, and was reverently worshipping the wooden statue of the god in front of her.

When the last family member stepped into the temple, the door of the main hall slammed and suddenly closed!

The family leader saw that something was wrong, and immediately drew his sword and slashed towards the gate, but the gate did not move at all!

His eyes lit up and he commanded everyone: "Wait here, all bang on the door!" ”

Everyone obeyed the order, walked to the door in unison, and began to bang the door with their bodies, but they didn't see it, the leader quietly took a few steps back, and a green light had appeared in his hands.

By the time they found out, it was too late.

Twenty-nine dependents, almost in no particular order, collapsed to the ground one after another, lost consciousness, and the soldiers in their hands fell to the ground, making a heavy sound.

"An Pingjun, no, eldest prince." The team leader put away the knife and said coldly, "I have done what I agreed." ”

He turned his head, but found that the robe representing the prime minister of Zhao Guo had been thrown to the ground by Chu Qi.

The golden-red phoenix bird crown dress shines brightly in the dim space.

Miaozhu's cloudy eyes lit up.

Chu Qi stood in front of her and said calmly: "I am the eldest son of the forty-eighth king of Zhuguo, Chu Qi. ”

"You ......" Miaozhu stretched out his hand tremblingly, his voice so weak that it was almost inaudible, "...... Why ......"

"I heard, a voice calling to me."

Chu Qi raised his head and looked at the goddess statue that was high up, but did not have any face, and looked a little eerie.

"In my dream, I saw a phoenix soaring in flames."
