Chapter 17: The Crisis of Songhai City
Knowing the origin of the Chinese people in the Dusk Continent, Shaoyang ignited his fighting spirit, and with the support of the Three Kingdoms game system, he was full of confidence that he could lead the Chinese people out of the predicament and become stronger, as long as he took the initiative.

"Report~, Your Highness, there is important information" An exclamation came from outside the door, which woke Shaoyang up from his contemplation, and immediately ordered the man to come in and report.
A city gate guard ran in in a panic, short of breath, obviously running for a long time, which showed that the news brought was very urgent.
"You take a breath first, and then report slowly. Shaoyang saw that he wanted to make a sound, but he couldn't say it for a while, so he could only let him rest for a while.
The city gate guard knew that the matter was urgent, and he didn't dare to slack off, and after a while, after feeling that he could speak well, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, it's not good, there is a person outside the city gate, and he is seriously injured, he said..... "I'm starting to gasp again," he said.
Seriously injured? I'm afraid that the matter is not simple, Xu Sanmu couldn't stand it anymore, and yelled loudly: "What did he say?"
Frightened by the roar, the city gate guard immediately became well, and continued: "He said that he is a villager from Oran Village, ten miles away, and last night the werewolves raided the village, and the entire Oran Village was slaughtered. ”
Shaoyang stood up from his seat and said in shock, "You mean that the werewolf slaughtered Oran Village?" he already believed that the news was true, but he couldn't help but want to confirm it.
Receiving the answer from the city gate guard, Shaoyang felt infinite anger and chagrin, he already understood that those werewolves must be Valer's gang. If he hadn't let them go, then nothing would have happened to the people of Oran Village!
"Damn!" Xu Sanmu also guessed the truth of the facts, and after scolding angrily, he asked Shaoyang for instructions: "Your Highness......"
Shaoyang spoke before Xu Sanmu: "You go and mobilize a tun of people, go and see the survivors first, and then go to Oran Village to check later." The tone was firm and full of majesty, and it was impossible to refuse.
The survivors of Oran Village have been placed in a medical center, and their injuries are under control and are not life-threatening, but "this person has suffered a serious blow, and I am afraid that he will be mentally different." After Shaoyang arrived, the doctor said to him.
Looking at the tightly bandaged survivors, Shaoyang could imagine how tragically the other party had been mistreated before, and he was able to escape to the city alive, I am afraid that it was the werewolf who did it on purpose, like his own provocative move.
"Don't ...... Don't dig my daughter's heart...... Dead, all dead......" The survivor on the sickbed groaned dreamily, his voice was faintly audible, but Shaoyang still understood a small part.
The anger in Shaoyang's heart was even stronger, if he didn't come, Cassel would give those girls to Valle, and the ending would not be unimaginable.
"Good life takes care of this person. After instructing the doctor, Shaoyang left the medical hall, and Xu Sanmu had already gathered a good number of people.
"Your Highness" Zhao Yun and Xu Sanmu were waiting for Shaoyang's order together.
"Departure" did not have too many words, Shaoyang got into the carriage after giving the order, Zhao Yun, Xu Sanmu and several others accompanied the horse, and the army galloped towards Olan Village. Olan Village is only a dozen miles away from Songhai City, and in less than an hour, you will arrive at your destination.
The werewolves are long gone, leaving behind corpses all over the ground, stumps and severed arms everywhere, and the land stained red with blood. It's not the first time I've seen a dead person, but the few people who died under Zhao Yun's gun at the beginning were not so tragic.
"Vomit ......" Shaoyang resisted the urge to vomit, tried his best to suppress it, and made a retching sound.
Xu Sanmu led people into the village to search carefully for a while, and was shocked by the tragic situation in the village, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, the whole village has been searched, and there is no survivor, and the subordinates have also found ?...... All the girls in the village were hollowed out of their hearts. ”
I had already thought of the result, but before that, Shaoyang still had a glimmer of hope, and he could save one by one, but he didn't expect that he was indeed slaughtered, and the only survivor was indeed deliberately left by the werewolf.
After calming down for a while, Shaoyang gritted his teeth and asked Xu Sanmu, "Can you know how long the werewolf has been gone, and in which direction?"
"They have left last night, if they hurry up, they may have already gone out of the two realms, and they can't catch up" Xu Sanmu said helplessly, he also wanted to catch up and kill those beasts, but he couldn't catch up, and he couldn't beat them.
Shaoyang took Zhao Yun and others back to Songhai City first, and the soldiers were left behind, and they could not return to the city until the corpses of the villagers were properly collected.
Back in the city, in the government affairs hall, Shaoyang convened several officials with higher authority to discuss the matter of werewolves, Zhao Yun has no actual position for the time being, the military attache has Xu Sanmu and the three tun chiefs under his command, and the civil officials are the administrative officials, tax officials, and household registration officials.
"Today is the first time that Lone has convened you to discuss a major matter, you don't have to worry about it, just talk freely, what do you think about the matter of the werewolf slaughtering the village?"
Several people in the hall had different reactions.
The commanders stared at Xu Sanmu, obviously focusing on him, but what about Xu Sanmu? It was no problem for him to lead the troops to fight, and he asked for opinions, and there was only one, only to see him look at his mouth and say, "Your Highness......"
"Your Highness, your subordinates believe that this is a major matter, and it should be reported to the Northern Army and the royal capital immediately" The political officer spoke first, and the temperament of the old oilman in the officialdom was exposed, and the small things were done by the people below, and the big things were carried by the people above.
"Yes, it does," the other two naturally responded.
The household registration officer, who usually only takes care of household registration matters, has a rare opportunity to perform, adding: "In order to appease the people, the survivor needs to be properly settled." ”
The Northern Legion is in charge of the military affairs in the north of the kingdom, and its main task is to guard against the orcs, and the werewolf incident will naturally be reported to them, and it is indispensable to report to the royal capital. Needless to say, Shaoyang will also allow people to properly settle survivors.
"What you guys say is," Xu Sanmu said Shaoyang's heart.
The civil official was naturally unhappy, and said sarcastically: "Vulgar, may I ask Captain Xu, what do you think?"
"I ......" Xu Sanmu couldn't refute it for a while, so he had to glare at them angrily.
"Okay, I'm calling you here to discuss big things, not to quarrel" Shaoyang had a headache, and with his knowledge, he didn't have too good ideas.
Glimpsing Zhao Yun calmly, but his body exuded indescribable might, and secretly said that he was confused, Zilong is not only a general, but also a rare handsome talent, not to mention that compared with the top strategists of the Three Kingdoms, it is better than others present, so he asked: "Zilong, what do you think?"
Zhao Yun had already planned in his heart, but he didn't speak first. He knew that he had just arrived, and although he was a close confidant of the king, he was not too prominent. was questioned by Shaoyang, and immediately replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Songhai City is in danger!"
