Chapter 380: The Mystery Is Cruel (I)
In the end, Liu Ruoxue was a wood demon who had gone through several lifetimes of tribulations to cultivate into a human form, and the suffering of the heavenly calamities suffered by the tribulations of several lifetimes and the bullying of other demons and earth immortals made her have to be strong to protect herself. Before meeting Wei Ergou, she always thought that in the Three Realms, it was extremely normal for demons and demons and people to bully and poison each other, until she met Wei Ergou, she didn't have until the most beautiful thing in the world, that is, love, so, in this life and this life, she will not leave Wei Ergou's class for half a step, not for a short time, therefore, Wei Ergou does not leave Cangzhou City, Liu Ruoxue will not leave, if this is called infatuation, then Liu Ruoxue is willing to be infatuated to the end.
The only reason to leave is Zhongli Yiyi, but there is no trace of leaving in her plain eyes, on the contrary, she also walked to Liu Ruoxue's side, gently held Liu Ruoxue's slender hand, and whispered like a brandy: "Sister, don't be afraid, I will protect you wherever you go!" ”
Since everyone has enough reasons not to leave, it seems that there is no need to say anything, so Li Shu'er looked outside again, those demon soldiers were gone, presumably they went to the city to resist the attack of the Taiping army, but the strange thing is that the door and the official at the gate of the government are gone, and they are replaced by four demon soldiers holding sawtooth knives in the banmen, with dark faces and hideous appearances.
"These demon soldiers actually controlled the government office, what are they trying to do?" Uncle Li sighed, "Forget it, what we need to do now is self-preservation, and then the purpose of these demon soldiers from the Detection Department is to decide what to do next, understand." ”
Yang Yi, Wei Ergou, Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi knew that the situation was sinister and could not tolerate the slightest carelessness, so they all nodded solemnly.
However, the situation was far worse than Li Shu'er and the others expected, because soon, those demon soldiers reappeared on the streets, searching house to house, saying that it was to prevent the Taiping army spies from infiltrating the city. In the meantime, more than a dozen people were beheaded on the street, and it is said that they were all suspected of harboring the Taiping army spies, but all the people understood that this was just the government killing chickens and monkeys and deliberately creating a terrifying atmosphere, but in the face of those fierce and vicious foreign "military masters" who were afraid of even the old Qing army in the city, the people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and could only secretly shed tears for the unjustly killed people.
Seeing those demon soldiers searching house to house, even the abandoned houses, Li Shu'er knew that although this City God Temple was located near the government office, it was dark under the lights, and it would not be noticed by the demon soldiers in the short term, but sooner or later it would still enter their field of vision, so the top priority was to quickly find another place to stay.
Fortunately, there are many merchants and wealthy families who have fled in Cangzhou City, and vacant houses abound.
On this day, Uncle Li and his family came out of a private house where they were hiding, and they saw those demon soldiers driving a large number of middle-aged men, armed with axes, chisels, hammers and other household goods, walking mightily on the stone road in the center of the city.
Because I didn't know what those demon soldiers were going to do, Li Shu'er took Yang Yi, Wei Ergou, Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi to follow all the way, and saw those demon soldiers driving the strong men to the main roads of Cangzhou City, and used the blades in their hands to force those strong men to carve grooves on the stone road, and there were special demon soldiers to guide those strong men how to carve, and all the strong men who did not carve hard or did not meet their requirements were kicked and beaten to roll and wail all over the ground, and at worst they were cut down on the spot, and the blood flowing from the corpses ran down the grooves on those stone slabs, It flowed bubbling to the west of the city.
Looking at the blood flow in the groove, the faces of the demon soldiers showed a cruel but mixed with a certain excited look, seeing that those strong men were frightened, and seeing Uncle Li who was snooping on the side was confused.
Let's say that after these demon soldiers entered Cangzhou City, they were busy driving Zhuang Ding to carve the road all day long, and the originally good stone road was chiseled and carved with vertical and horizontal groove lines, which looked like the patterns on the back of the dragon, and like the blood vessels and meridians in the human body, and those stone roads were extended to the west due to the geographical trend of high east and low west in Cangzhou City, and all the groove lines were extended to the west, I don't know why.
Due to the intensive activities of those demon soldiers in Cangzhou City, coupled with the Taiping army outside Cangzhou City also stepped up their offensive, the war became increasingly tense, and the army was frequently deployed back and forth, these factors greatly restricted Li Shu'er's activities, causing them to sneak into the government several times to find out the news but to no avail, and they were almost discovered by those demon soldiers.
On this day and night, the Taiping army attacked the city fiercely, the Qing army in Cangzhou City was outnumbered, the three city gates were in a hurry, most of the demon soldiers were transferred to various city gates to assist in the defense, and the guards in the palace were finally relaxed.
The strange thing is that on weekdays, the palace with a large number of officials is empty, only a few demon soldiers are patrolling around the government, those scholars and the officials of the three classes and six rooms are gone, and the huge government is as quiet as a tomb, and it looks somewhat abnormal.
With doubts, Uncle Li and the others came to the second hall, untied the roof tiles and looked down, and the four demon soldiers in the second hall sat there with fierce eyes, looking out with fierce eyes, as if they were ready to get up and fight for their lives against the invaders at any time.
Seeing this situation, Uncle Li waved his hand, and a group of five people walked to the bedroom behind the second hall, uncovering the tiles, and there was an oil lamp lit in the bedroom, the light was like beans, the light was dim, and by the dim light, it could be seen that Shen Ru was lying on the bed with a dying breath, describing the witheredness, and his eyes were desperate, and the Cangzhou City Zhizhou who killed Tang Zhen to deceive people a few days ago was like two people.
Li Shu'er was also deeply surprised in his heart, his figure flashed, and he fell from the roof to the ground silently, and suddenly saw five black shadows appear in front of him, Shen Ruchao was startled, and his miserable white face showed a sickly flush because of fright, and he was about to shout, that is, he was covered by Wei Ergou all of a sudden, Wei Ergou hated Shen Ruchao a lot, and his hands were a little heavy, only to cover Shen Ruchao's legs and kick straight, almost suffocating.
"You want to kill him, don't you?" Uncle Li held the oil lamp, walked in front of Shen Ruchao, looked at Wei Ergou and scolded, looked at Shen Ruchao with a sinking face, and said in a low voice: "This real person will not want your life, but there are some things to ask you, you just have to ask what you answer, I promise not to harm your life, do you understand?" ”
