Chapter 22: Putting to Death

"Folks, Pingcheng is in danger now, and I am also anxious, but please believe that no matter what the situation, we will not give up Pingcheng!"

Their Blue Sky Lord left them behind and ran away when they needed him the most, not caring about their life or death at all! Now, such a delicate young lady is willing to save them, can you believe what she says?

Hope is at its peak, and if it is not fulfilled, it becomes despair to fall into hell!

Lu Anjin knew that the villagers didn't believe her, so she said loudly, "Fellow villagers, believe me, I will definitely find a way to defeat this plague, and when the time comes, I will give you a new hometown." ”

She knew in her heart that it was easy to say, but it was not so simple to do.

His wife was separated, and his family was ruined. The villagers mourned and wept bitterly. They are in despair, struggling on the brink of death, with no future in sight.

Now someone told them that they would never give up on them, which made them believe and believe in the outcasts!

When I arrived in Pingcheng, the situation became more and more tragic, the dead pillowed each other, the living cried in the city, abandoned their families and bankrupt property, and abounded.

Lu Anjin's face became more and more ugly, and until he came to the gate of Pingcheng, this tragic situation did not improve.

Corpses everywhere, weeping everywhere, broken city gates, old city walls, and ordinary people still struggling on the verge of death.

It's shocking!

Lu Anjin's beautiful eyes were blood-red, she looked at the word Pingcheng on the city wall, her fists clenched, and she didn't feel pain even when her sharp nails poked into the flesh.

Anger is easy to make people lose their minds, and Lu Anjin told herself that at this time, she must stay awake.

"Miss Lu, my subordinates captured Master Pingcheng earlier and locked him in the dungeon, and my subordinates will bring him out!"

"Okay."

About half an hour later, the tall guard returned, still clutching a short, fat man in his hand.

"Miss Lu." The guard clenched his fists with both hands, "This is Pingcheng Master Lu Butong." ”

However, Lu Anjin ignored Lu Butong, but looked at the two guards, "Do you have names?" ”

Tall guard: "Subordinate Ling Zuo." ”

The low guard: "Subordinate Ling You." ”

Lu Anjin nodded, "It's hard work." She didn't speak anymore, just looked at the man in front of her who was a thief, until the man was sweating profusely, couldn't stand anymore, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, then asked, "How is Pingcheng now?" ”

At this time, there is really no need to hide it, and it is impossible to hide it. In addition, he is just a little master, even if he really wants to settle accounts after the autumn, he is not the culprit, at most he is an accomplice.

"Pingcheng," he kept wiping his sweat, "the situation is very serious. ”

It was enough for him to say that she was not blind!

Lu Anjin had a cold face, exuding a low pressure that was not close to the living. Ling Zuo felt for a moment that it was not the Miss Lu family standing beside him, but their prince.

"There is a rich family in Pingcheng, and there is a family that has died to 39 people, totaling more than 1,600 people; There are whole families exterminated, counting more than 300 households; When both parents die and children flee, people are afraid of being stained, and there is no way for beggars to eat, and there is nothing to rest for, and it is really pitiful to cry and move. Eight or nine people died in one household, or six or seven people died, or three or four people died in a family on the same day, or the whole family lay down, no one supported them, and the infection did not stop, and there were many sick people. ”(1)

What a death jam!

The master cried and wiped his tears, and his heart was concerned.

"Miss, it's not that the villain is cowardly and incompetent, but that the plague is too terrible. The villain does not ask for anything else, but only to live. ”

Being alive is more important than anything else. Dignity and reputation seem insignificant and not worth mentioning in the face of death!

Silence, long silence, Lu Anjin's heart was in turmoil. Her voice trembled a little, "Are there still living people in the city?" ”

Lu Butong cried heartbreakingly, a handful of snot and tears, "The plague and famine have been done one after another, the villagers have died innocently, there are floating corpses and violent bones everywhere, and there is no family in the bundle of salaries. ”

"Miss Hui, as far as my subordinates have seen, there is no living person!"

Lu Anjin waved his hand weakly, his heart was as heavy as iron!

Ling Zuo took Lu Butong down, and Ling You stood quietly behind Lu Anjin, waiting for her order.

"Ling You, you and Ling Zuo are waiting here, I want to go into the city to have a look."

"Miss Lu, never!"

"I've made up my mind."

Ling You saw that she was resolute, so he had no choice but to retreat, "If Miss insists on going, then the subordinates will go with Miss." ”

"No, if you have three long and two short, I can't explain it to the prince."

Ling You smiled lightly, "Miss doesn't know, the prince has a life, if you have any mistakes, your subordinates and Ling Zuo will have to raise their heads to see you." ”

Lu Anjin was stunned.

"Miss, please think again."

Lu Anjin was stunned, she muttered to herself, "Why did he do this?" ”

"My subordinates don't know." Ling You replied seriously, "Presumably, Miss is very important in the heart of the prince, and Ling Wei only obeys the prince's orders." However, this is also the first time that the prince has dispatched Ling Wei to protect others. ”

That cold-faced and kind-hearted man, always so awkward!

However, "Ling Wei? ”

"Ling Wei is the secret guard of the prince's majesty, specializing in special tasks."

Rest, it's inconvenient to say.

Lu Anjin doesn't ask much, she is a smart person, she will never ask what she shouldn't ask, and she will never say more if she shouldn't say it.

"I don't believe all of Lu Butong's words, I need the specific situation in the city."

"Miss, wait a minute, my subordinates will go and find out the truth."

Lu Anjin was worried, "There is danger in the city," she took out a face towel and handed it to Ling You, "Be careful, take care of your body, and don't delay." ”

"My subordinates understand."

Ling You saw Ling Zuo's figure, saluted Lu Anjin, and disappeared in an instant.

"Be careful."

If something happens to them, she will feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Miss, don't worry too much, I'll be ready for any time from the moment I enter Ling Wei..."

Lu Anjin waved his hand, interrupting his unfinished words.

"With me, all men are created equal. We are comrades-in-arms, not to mention that we are now experiencing death, so we can better understand the fragility of life. ”

She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of leaving regrets. She has never experienced life and death, and she does not know the preciousness of life, but she is also not afraid of life and death.

Ling Zuo bowed his head and was silent, he knew since he was a child that his life belonged to the prince. The meaning of his life is to complete all the tasks assigned by the prince!

His life was filled with the shadow of death, and there was no warmth to speak of.

However, today, he has reaped the warmth of the sun.

"Ling Zuo, will you make a fire?"

That's a must, it's their basic survival skill.

"Yes."

"I'm tired of you making a fire, I want to boil some soup for Ling You."

The plague is rampant in the city, drink some decoction to protect the body, just in case, it's better than nothing!

"Yes!"

After half a pillar of incense, Ling You finally returned. Lu Anjin hurriedly got up to greet him.

"What do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Miss Hui, my subordinates are fine." Ling You was three feet away from Lu Anjin and didn't dare to step forward. "The city is littered with corpses, and no living people are seen!"

Lu Anjin couldn't help but take a few steps back, his face was pale, no different from the dead man.

Ling You's face was a little pale, Fang Cai's scene was too terrifying, Rao was used to seeing killing and death, and he couldn't accept it.

Ling Zuo walked over with a bowl of decoction, he had been cold for a long time, and the temperature was just right. "This is the decoction that Miss made for you."

"Miss Xie!" Ling You picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all.

The smell is really fascinating.

Ling Zuo looked at the extremely unnatural brother with a sympathetic expression, and silently bowed a handful of bitter tears for him in his heart.

Lu Anjin looked at Pingcheng not far away in despair, thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and finally took out a pen and paper, and began to write hard, writing two pieces of paper.

She blew the ink dry, stuffed it into an envelope, handed it to Ling Zuo, and repeatedly instructed, "Give this letter to my father, remember, you must pay attention to safety!" ”

"Subordinates obey!"

When Father Lu read the letter, his mood could be described as twists and turns, up and down, up and down, if it wasn't for his ability to bear it, he would definitely faint!

Especially when I saw the end of the letter, my eyes were like a brass bell, and I couldn't believe what I saw.

"Burn the Screen City!"

That's her solution?!

Lu's father felt that his daughter was simply bold, and the solution proposed was simply incredible.

"My lord, please think about it quickly, Pingcheng is in danger, and there is no time to wait!"

Father Lu paced back and forth in the study, constantly turning in circles, and the county order was turned in a dazzling eye, but he didn't dare to protest.

"What else did An Jin say?"

"Miss Lu asked her subordinates to tell you, put them to death and come back to life!"

Father Lu kept pondering these words, and it took about half an hour before he made up his mind and wrote a reply!

Ling Zuo got the reply, he didn't dare to delay along the way, galloped his horse, and rushed back as fast as he could.

Lu Anjin received the reply, glanced at ten lines, and after reading it, a smile finally appeared on her pretty face.

"Ling left and Ling right, when you are unitary, the fire burns Ping City."

She didn't want to wait for a second, the screen city was full of holes, the corpse was polluted, and it was as dangerous as a thousand shots!

"Subordinates obey!"

Arson is a difficult task, and it is not realistic for a person like Lu Anjin who is not diligent in all fours.

As a result, there is a specialization in the art industry, and labor needs to be distributed. Her main task is to make torches.

The three of them worked overtime, and finally made a batch before the unitary time.

"Miss be careful, your subordinates will come when they go down!"

Although she knew that they were all peerless masters, and although she also equipped them with some equipment, Lu Anjin was still uneasy and repeatedly advised, "You must pay attention to safety!" ”

The two nodded and quickly left.

Not long after, Lu Anjin saw billowing smoke burning in the sky above Pingcheng, soaring into the sky, extremely spectacular.

The people who did not flee far could see the smoke covering the sky from afar.

They knelt on the side of the road, kowtowing incessantly, chanting words in their mouths, "God forgives sins, God forgives sins!" ”

They must have done something wrong for God to punish them like this.

Let them have no harvest and be displaced!

It didn't take long for Ling Zuo and Ling You to come back with the smell of fireworks, Lu Anjin brought a bowl of soup and medicine to one of them, and the two of them were accustomed to it, and they drank it all without frowning.

"Miss, what are you doing here?"

"There are many sick and dead people in the city, and I can't let them be buried in peace, so let's erect a tombstone to pay tribute to their souls."
