Chapter 176: Food Crisis
After seeing the corpses of these thousand gray-robed people, the evil guard also truly trusted Song Yun.
No matter where this mysterious young man "Song Bai" is, here and now, who dares to kill so many strong people in the Ghost Killing Sect, that is their friend.
Zeng Haoying led more than 300 evil guards, obeyed Song Yun's arrangement, and went to a temporary residence to rest and recuperate from his injuries.
There was another martial saint in the city, as well as a bunch of grandmasters and innate masters, which made the Gao family and the soldiers defending the city a lot more excited.
"Hold on! The wolf smoke has been ignited, and sooner or later the imperial court will get the news, and the army of Xu Guo will arrive soon! "The battalion defending the city was raising their voices for encouragement.
Then he looked at Song Yun expectantly, hoping that the strongest martial artist in the city would say a few words.
Song Yun waved his hand and didn't say anything.
When the evil guards entered the city, they entered in front of the Ghost Killing Sect, and the enemy must have dealt with it, and the situation has not changed.
The city is still mainly stable, there is nothing to motivate, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, just wait for the ghost killing sect to make a move.
And before that, he needs to worry about another problem.
Song Yun quietly called Gao Lanchun, as well as a few Gao family stewards, and asked:
"How many days will there be enough food in the city?"
Gao Lanchun and the others suddenly looked sad, "No, it's not enough." ”
"How many days? Let's be clear! Song Yun frowned.
Several people hurriedly explained truthfully: "Two days." ”
The head of the Gao family deceived 50,000 homeless people to Anxi, so he didn't plan to keep them, and with the help of the power of the formation, he would be able to kill all the people soon.
Therefore, there is no need to transport much food, and the reason why there are still two days' worth is just to reassure the displaced people.
Gao Lanchun thought for a while and said, "These more than 50,000 people in the city, if they only eat one meal a day and boil slowly, they can barely survive for five days. ”
Song Yun still couldn't help frowning.
When you are hungry, people's hearts will be in turmoil.
If these 50,000 people are in chaos and flee from the city, they will fall into the hands of the Ghost Slayer Sect.
At that time, 50,000 people will still be reduced to the sacrifice of the "Empty Immortal Venerable", and the plan of the Ghost Killing Sect will be achieved, and the defense of the city will lose its meaning.
Song Yun looked at the Gao family, saw their panicked expressions, knew that he couldn't count on it, and shook his head and said:
"Let's keep it a secret first, let's just say that the grain convoy has been blocked on the road in the past few days, and it will be a few days before it can come, and the daily food will be reduced."
"In order to calm people's hearts, send some money first."
Gao Lanchun and the others nodded, as the core members of the business family, they often have to recruit and hire workers, and they still have experience in stabilizing people's hearts.
The Gao family quickly issued a notice, saying that the schedule of the grain transportation convoy was delayed, and everyone did not have to work in the past few days, rested in the room, and paid every day.
The first day's wages then went to everyone.
Eating and living for nothing, and getting paid, this is naturally a good thing.
Although they ate less, more than 50,000 people were originally homeless, and they often did not have enough to eat before, so it was not a problem to endure for a few days.
Only Li Feng, Li Wu, and Liu Qi knew that the situation was not so simple, the Ghost Slayer Sect was still besieging the city, and they were going to be hungry next!
The three of them were worried, but since they agreed to Song Yun, they kept their mouths shut and didn't reveal anything to the public.
Seeing that the situation was stable, Song Yun went to the temporary camp of the evil guard.
These more than 300 evil guards are the righteous Great Xia troops, and their members are at least forty years old, and they have all personally experienced the destruction of Great Xia twenty years ago.
Talk to them and you might make important discoveries.
Zeng Haoying was still recuperating from his injuries, but when he learned that Song Yun was coming, he immediately went out to greet him.
The old man knew very well that in the face of the elite Ghost Slaying Sect, this "Song Bai" with amazing combat power was the key to breaking the game, and he must fully cooperate.
Song Yun first talked about the dilemma of lack of food in the city to see if the veteran had any suggestions.
Originally, I didn't expect much to report, but the clinker Zeng Haoying really had a way, and pointed to the barracks next to him:
"I have a deputy, Chang Bing, a Dao master at the peak of the Possession Realm, who is good at hypnotic secret techniques."
"If you go all out, you can barely hypnotize 50,000 people, at least keep them drowsy."
"Of course, hypnosis of 50,000 people consumes a lot, and it can't last for a few days, so you can wait until the food is eaten up before you use it."
"And a secret art of this scale?" Song Yun was a little surprised.
In that barracks, Chang Bing stepped out, this was a middle-aged officer, his face looked very steady, and he said proudly when he heard this:
"At that time, the Great Xia Military Department had a ten-story Taoist law collection tower, and the collection of classics was as vast as a sea of smoke, and all kinds of secret techniques were available, divided into twenty categories and three hundred sub-categories, and it was not uncommon for large-scale hypnosis to be in it."
Hearing that there was such a good place, Song Yun immediately became interested.
He himself is a ghost immortal, but unfortunately there are too few top-notch Dao methods that he can find, and now he has only learned a few Tang Jing King inheritances, such as "Soul Splitting Technique", "Soul Devouring Technique", "Forbidden God Technique" and the like, mainly attacking combat, and the others are not very good at it.
"Where is the Dharma Collection Tower now?" Song Yun asked.
Chang Bing sighed: "In Yangcheng, the capital of the Great Xia Emperor, twenty years ago, during the turmoil, the entire Yangcheng was razed to the ground, all the buildings did not survive, and the collection tower naturally became a ruin. ”
"As for the Dao Law books in it, maybe some of them have been transferred away before and have become the treasures of the major forces."
Song Yun nodded, keeping this in his heart.
Twenty years ago, Great Xia suddenly collapsed, as a major event that affected the pattern of the world, there must be the manipulation of heavenly demons and heavenly ghosts behind it, and it will also be his next stop through time.
The location of Yangcheng is on Hedong Road, a distance of about a thousand miles from Anxi, which is not too far, so you can go and see it when the time comes.
Speaking of the fall of the Great Xia Dynasty, Song Yun naturally had to ask these people who had experienced it firsthand, "How did Great Xia die?" ”
Unexpectedly, Zeng Haoying and Chang Bing were also at a loss.
"Back then, we had to act separately because we encountered a number of urgent tasks at the same time."
"By the time our group completes the task and comes out of the deep mountains and old forests, the world will be in chaos."
"His Majesty the Emperor is missing, the chief general of our evil guard is killed by someone who doesn't know who is killed, and there are people everywhere who are in turmoil, just like an appointment in advance, so that all major departments of the imperial court are completely paralyzed."
"This chaos has been chaotic for 20 years, and there is still no restoration of order."
Song Yun bowed slightly, this group of evil guards knew too little, it seemed that the secret of the fall of Great Xia had to be discovered by himself.
Then he threw out the question he was most concerned about: "Your mission is to kill the evil spirit, what is the evil spirit?" ”
"The Reborn Financial Giant"
"All strange phenomena that are not man-made can be classified as evil." Tsang's answer was concise and to the point.
Song Yun: "Since it's not human, who did it?" ”
Zeng Haoying: "According to our inference, many of them are related to the heavenly immortals, and some evil immortals and demon gods often deceive people and do evil. ”
"Fortunately, they can't do whatever they want, as long as the evil guards can find out in advance, they can stop them."
Song Yun: "Do you know about the Void Immortal Venerable?" ”
Hearing the words "Void Immortal Venerable", the faces of the evil guards suddenly changed.
