Chapter 211: Dead City

A few days later, when Cang Luochen led the team to the outside of Songzhou City, the huge city seemed to have become a dead city. Even the officers and soldiers guarding the gates were gone.

Shan Gui said: "There are too many people who have died, and Lord Min can't, so he has to mobilize all the manpower to the city to clean up the mess." ”

From a distance, I saw the closed city gate slowly open, and a group of people slowly walked out from the inside, and several people pushed a wooden cart, and the car was full of corpses.

"Where did these people transport the bodies?" Cang Luochen asked.

"It's a mass grave five miles outside Songzhou City." Shan Gui replied.

"Immediately order people to prepare dry firewood, fire oil and other materials, burn all the exposed corpses, and avoid the vicinity of the river water source." Cang Luochen turned his head and ordered albinism.

Albino didn't say anything about him, and immediately ordered the head of the jaw: "Yes!" Then he took some of the men and rode away.

Cang Luochen said to Shan Gui: "If you enter the city first, it will only be Lord Min, be ready to open the warehouse and enter the grain, don't make a riot because of this." ”

The people in the city did not know how many days they had been hungry, and suddenly they saw that the grain transport team of the imperial court was inevitably excited and out of control, and came to scramble for food and cause a riot.

"It's still the general's thoughtfulness, and the little one will go into the city to inform Lord Min." Shan Guihua must have entered the city first.

Cang Luochen took the reins and turned around to beat the horse, and raised his voice to the team behind him: "All the vehicles are concentrated as much as possible, and the grain trucks are guarded outside, so don't make trouble!" ”

"Yes!"

People are forced to do everything in a hurry, and Cang Luochen has to guard against it.

The procession walked slowly for a short time, and before they entered the city gate, they saw a group of people hurrying from the city.

The first person was wearing a Taishou official uniform, and he must have been Lord Min in Shan Gui's mouth.

Cang Luochen approached and turned over, dismounted, and hugged his fists: "I've seen Lord Min." Cang Luochen looked respectful.

Min Taishou hurriedly stepped forward and helped Cang Luochen up with both hands: "General Cang, what you have done for our Song Zhou has already heard Master Shan say, you are our Song Zhou's benefactor, and you should be given a courtesy below." ”

Min Taishou said that he really did not give Cang Luochen a bow, but Cang Luochen let go of his body and did not accept this salute: "What the lower officials do is their duty, and they should not be so gifted by Lord Min, not to mention that the future is long, and it is more appropriate to put the grain in the warehouse now." ”

Min Taishou is fifty or sixty years old, and his body looks okay, but he has been hungry in recent days, and he has been thinking too much, so the whole person looks a little thin, the official uniform is a little loose on the body, and his face is a little blue.

Cang Luochen saw that there was still a little dust in the corners of Min Taishou's robe, and the official boots on his feet were also a thick layer of ash. He must have been so worried that he was in the mood for a long time like this, and he was in no mood to care about his appearance.

Min Taishou led Cang Luochen and his party into the city, and the streets were empty and empty along the way, and occasionally you could see sporadic people sitting against the wall in the alleys, with their heads down and in rags, but they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

Along the way, Min Taishou sighed one after another, his eyebrows were tightly tightened and never let go, and he kept thanking Cang Luochen for saving Shan Gui that day, and reported the matter to the court, and then kept complaining to Cang Luochen.

Cang Luochen said: "I just met Master Shan by coincidence that day, and if it wasn't for Lord Rui that day, Xia Guan wouldn't have the ability to save Master Shan on the spot." ”

"Yes, yes, I know that Prince Rui is benevolent, and if he is lucky enough to see him in the future, I will also thank Lord Rui for his kindness to the people of Song Zhou."
