CHAPTER XXIII

Two months after the rat tide appeared, there was a mountain road into the Yinhui Mountains, the sun would set, the day had passed, the tired birds returned to their nests, the sky was full of clouds, Wang Yuan was on the road with four entourage, he looked up at the sunset, and beckoned a few people behind him to find a place to camp for the night.

Looking for a flat land near the water source, set up two tents, one for Wang Yuan's own use, and the other for the four entourages on duty vigil to take turns, and hurriedly ended dinner, Wang Yuan instructed the entourage to be on duty vigil and be vigilant, the news of the rat tide is not outdated, and Wang Yuan is not afraid that they will not be unsatisfied.

Wang Yuan entered the tent to rest and meditate, and thought that this would be an errand, Wang Yuan was the captain of the city defense team of Ou Yuancheng, and had been working diligently in the city for many years, a week ago, the city lord's mansion sent someone to beckon him to ask questions, but he was panicked for a while, the city defense team is generally under the direct jurisdiction of the military department of the principality, and general things do not need to be managed by the city lord's mansion, this time was falsely accused of corruption by others, he privately thought about asking himself in addition to taking a part of the kickback according to the rules, he usually did nothing hurtful.

The City Lord's Mansion was in the center of the city, and Wang Yuan took a leave the next day before turning to the City Lord's Mansion, which mainly manages people's livelihood affairs.

Wang Yuan arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion, there was a special person to bring into the reception room, and after waiting for a while, there was a master who came, and the master was mainly hired by the city lord to consult the various city management conditions, and was responsible for putting forward opinions for the city lord's reference, and some would also directly deal with things on behalf of the city lord.

Wang Yuan didn't know much about the personnel in the city lord's mansion, and the master who came to receive him was not very attentive, so he directly opened his mouth to inform Wang Yuan that this time it was the city lord's mansion that specially seconded you like the city defense team, because your ancestral home is Wangjia Village in the Yinhui Mountains, and the city lord ordered to search the information of all the people in Wangjia Village, the ancestral hometown of the entire city, and found that your family, especially your current position, is relatively high, and there is news that the origin of this rat tide is in Wangjia Village, and the city lord's mansion is inconvenient to go officially, so I specially seconded you, you go back to worship your ancestors on the one hand, and on the other hand, investigate the cause of the occurrence of the demon rat tide, it is best to contact the relevant personnel of the demon rat tide in advance, and what news is passed back, Whether it's good or bad, the City Lord's Mansion can follow up later, if you do a good job this time, the City Lord will specifically guarantee your merits to the Principality's Military Department.

Wang Yuancheng Lord's Mansion was depressed after returning, he had heard about the Demon Rat Tide for a long time, it was said that thousands of people died in the entire mountain range at that time, and the mercenary teams registered by the Xiuzhen League who entered the mountain range were all dead, causing the city to be a lot empty at once, and at that time he was still worried about whether Wangjia Village would be finished, and then the news was all blocked from above, and the army was sent to the exit of the mountain range to station, and the ban was lifted last month because the Demon Rat Tide has not come out of the mountain range.

This month, there are some traveling merchants who are not afraid of death to go in, and before the news comes back, the City Lord's Mansion will send himself in, which is a life of nine deaths, even if a meritorious person dies, what's the use.

He couldn't help but think that many years ago when he participated in the conscription to go to the battlefield, his eldest brother died there, he was also lucky, he made meritorious service with his eldest brother on the battlefield, and then he was unable to fight because he was injured and could not fight to withdraw back in advance, and the eldest brother was promoted to continue to go to the front line, but later I heard that no one survived in the end of the battlefield he went to, and there were senior monks passing by in the battle formation, and they threw down a large spell, and all the personnel on both sides of the battlefield were killed.

When he returned home, he handed over his duties the next day, Wang Yuan was ready to pack his luggage, his parents picked up from Wangjia Village in the early years, and now they have been living together, Wang Yuan also went back to discuss with his parents, he has not returned to the village over the years, and his parents often go back, by the way, to see the third child.

By the way, the third child, Wang Yuan couldn't help but think of the unconscious third child, who has never been stable since he was born. The third child likes to run alone in the mountains when he is a child, and he has a unique opinion, and he ran away halfway when he moved out, and then went into the city to steal the college classics a few years later. This matter was asked from the fourth sister later, the third child came into the city several times just came to take a look, and the fourth sister chatted, and never let Wang Yuan know, Wang Yuan was also a family discussion of things, the fourth sister said that she missed her mouth, but only to know that the third child had come and stole a lot of things from the college.

Thinking about it afterwards, Wang Yuan didn't break out in a cold sweat, if he was caught red-handed when he stole at that time, he would definitely not die comfortably, but the academy has expatriate personnel from the Immortal Cultivation Sect stationed all year round!

Later, Wang Yuan also specially canceled the identity card that he had made for the third child very early, and reported his illness and death by the way, so as not to implicate any disasters in the future.

Wang Yuan has always suspected that the third child still lives in Wangjia Village, but his parents have not found it when they go back several times, and when the demon rat tide occurred this time, Wang Yuan also whimsically thought about whether it was the third child's ghost again, and later felt that the third child should not be so capable.

When the City Lord's Mansion came out, he also gave Wang Yuan a copy of the information of the Demon Rat Tide, and the system collected all the information, and finally the information was estimated to require a monk in the Jindan period to solve and deal with it. Wang Yuan thought that the city lord was a Jindan period, he would not risk his life to deal with it, it is estimated that this time he also wanted to find a reason to solve it peacefully, there was no shortage of high-level monks of the human race, and the number of Jindan, Yuanying and others in the middle was too small, resulting in many places and the demon clan only guarding against each other, and dividing the territory also required strength. Whether this Demon Rat Tide incident is done by the Demon Clan or by the Demon Cultivator, Ou Yuancheng will not plan to deal with it too drastically, unless someone from the upper echelons of the Principality sends a monk from the Jindan Period to deal with it, otherwise it is Hello, I am good, everyone, and directly divide the Yinhui Mountain Range.

Wang Yuan's team is the first team of outcasts, Ou Yuancheng plans to first test whether the demon clan or humans who control the demon rat group behind can communicate, or if there is a demon clan that can only attack maliciously, then it must be reported to the principality as soon as possible to see whether to mobilize the army to attack or relocate all the surrounding residents and divide the forbidden land.

Wang Yuan and his entourage are all building the foundation and cultivating, they can ride for a long time, and drive the horses to drive the horses without rest by infusing Yuan Li, and the mountain road that was originally about half a month was completed in less than a week under the full drive.

Wang Yuan and the four entourages appeared in front of the gatehouse at the entrance of the village in a mess, almost frightened the gatekeeper to sound the alarm of the monster entering the village, the road is not very peaceful, many monsters have migrated out of the original territory because of the tide of demon rats, and all the way are fighting with the monsters who are grabbing the territory, and the situation is estimated to be about two months before it will stabilize. Wang Yuan and the others fortunately had horses, and they broke through every time they were not injured, otherwise they didn't know if they could get to Wangjia Village.
