Volume 1: Born to be a Hero Chapter 120: Intercepting the City Gate
Since that day, almost every night, those people will come back at night, stun the sleeping villagers, and then carry them out of the village. We also encircled and suppressed those people, but their strength became so great that three or five strong men could not get close, and smashed their heads with hoes, and they were like no one, and they could not even shed blood. In the end, we really had no choice, so we decided to move en masse. ”
Xu Shi remembered the terrible events of that day again, and the young man's voice trembled slightly: "My lord, if you have a way to get rid of that sneak, you must get my cousin back! There is a scar on the back of my cousin's head, and there is no hair nearby, which can be seen at a glance." ”
"Good. He Yi nodded, then patted the other party's shoulder and comforted: "It's all over." Since you have come to Huyang City, you should settle down first, and then slowly think of a way, everything will be fine. ”
Turning his back, He Yi's expression suddenly became solemn.
"Snow Temple. He Yi secretly pondered these three words.
The cause of everything is because the statue of the earth mother god was replaced with the statue of the snow god, and the end of the matter is also here.
So, who smuggled away the Earth Mother Statue and deliberately put the Snow God Statue inside?
He Yi rubbed his head with a headache.
He originally thought that there should be no more chaos in the future, but the development of things was still unsatisfactory.
The most important thing is that the Zhong family was ready to leave for the Qi Sect two days later.
At that time, He Yi will also follow.
In other words, he had to solve the problem at hand within two days.
Sad!
With so many things blocked, He Yi only felt chaos in his mind and sighed heavily.
"What is my brother worried about?" At this time, the red sleeves came gracefully, dressed in a group of flowing clouds, with long hair half-pulled up, carrying a delicate food box in his hand, and walked to He Yi's side.
When I opened it, I saw a few delicate side dishes.
She saw that He Yi had been busy from the morning to now, and she hadn't even had time to eat lunch, so she made some food and brought it over.
"Nothing. He Yi smiled reluctantly and said, "It's just that I watched the people suffer, and I felt some empathy, so I felt something." ”
Although He Yi didn't have much appetite, he couldn't bear to live up to the good intentions of the red sleeves, so he picked up the bowl and took a few mouthfuls in his mouth, chewing while thinking about the matter of the Tumu Temple.
Seeing that He Yi was not in a good state, Red Sleeves didn't ask any more questions, so he waved his hand to Jia Shao not far away, and said, "Xiao Shao, you can also come and eat something!"
"Eh, come on!" Jia Shao responded with a smile, and when he saw that there was something to eat, he hurriedly ran over, and when he didn't see it, he grabbed a chicken leg and gnawed it.
He Yi quickly filled his stomach, thanked Red Sleeves, and then asked the villagers about the situation, and when he left, Red Sleeves reached out and pulled Jia Shao aside, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Shao, is something wrong again?"
Jia Shao nodded, and said truthfully: "My lord, he can't catch up with the time, and he will leave for the Qi Sect in two days, so the affairs of the displaced people must be resolved within two days." ”
"You said my brother was ...... Are you going to practice Qi Sect?" Red Sleeves was stunned, and his beautiful eyes were full of surprise.
"That's right, the lord said that the Qi Sect will become a hidden danger sooner or later, and it is not a bad thing to understand it in advance. Jia Shao said.
For the red sleeves, Jia Shao also
There is nothing to hide.
It stands to reason that He Yi is already the lord of this city, and as his sister's red sleeves, he should naturally be the lord of the county.
But on the red sleeves, there is no trace of the posture of the county lord, but he presses his identity very low everywhere, even if it is for his subordinates.
This kind of behavior makes everyone feel more cordial, even Li Liangyu, who has always been silent and reluctant to enter under He Yi, will not have any rejection of Red Sleeves.
The so-called virtuous helpers are nothing more than that.
But the three words "virtuous help" are not used to describe my sister.
Jia Shao sighed, and secretly looked at He Yi after being busy, and said in his heart: The lord has also reached the age of establishment, but he has not yet married. And this red-sleeved girl is not only naturally beautiful, but also smart and wise, how good it would be if she could be her own housewife!
It's a pity.,Why is it a sister?
He is really panicked for He Yiyi.
"Oh no!"
At that moment, a herald came running from afar.
"What's wrong?"
"The Zhong family's people have come here, stop in front of the city gate, and don't let us in!
...... ......
Inside the city gate, the Zhong family, who suddenly arrived, blocked the road at the gate.
"Get out of the way, are you going to be the enemy of the defenders?" Pei Dong shouted sharply, pointing his spear at Zhong Zhuo's chest, telling him to get out of the way.
He had already received He Yi's instructions that if anyone dared to take the opportunity to make trouble, he could kill them if necessary to suppress the crowd, so as not to add chaos to chaos, but this matter involved the Zhong family, but it didn't work so well.
What is the nature of the Zhong family, Pei Dong naturally knows, specializing in exorcism of ghosts, and the reason why these homeless people fled to Huyang is said to be because of the evil and sneaky chaos.
This made Pei Dong very suspicious that there was something unclean mixed in the crowd.
"I can't put it now, I want to see Lord Taishou. Zhong Zhuo didn't back down for half a step, his tone carried a taste of-for-tat, and the blood-red eyes looked at the person with a chill down his spine.
"You want to see my lord, yes, but that's your own business! Don't get in the way of our official duties here! If you don't get out of the way, I don't mind giving you this old bone first!"
Because of the obstruction of these Zhong family members, a large number of displaced people are congested at the gate of the city, they cannot enter, the medicine carts and grain trucks transported from the city can also not go out, and there are still a large number of people outside waiting for the supply of this batch of materials, if the delay is too long, the typhoid fever patients gathered together within the displaced people cannot be effectively evacuated and treated, there is a possibility of plague.
Even if this possibility is not great, we cannot ignore it, because once it erupts, it will be a devastating disaster.
"This general, I advise you not to be impulsive! When your lord comes, maybe you will have to thank the old man!" Zhong Zhuo ignored Pei Dong's threat and turned to look behind him: "Ci'er, have you found out?"
"Second uncle, not yet. The number of displaced people is so huge that we may not be able to complete the investigation in three days with just a few of us. Zhong Ci shook his head, and several members of the Zhong family, each holding a golden bell, shook in the ears of the homeless people one by one, making a series of crisp bells.
"Three days, not half a day!" Pei Dong's face was gloomy, and after weighing the pros and cons, he finally waved his hand: "Arrest them for me! Let the people enter the city!"
"Yes!"
At the sound of an order, hundreds of defenders raised their weapons and quickly surrounded Zhong Zhuo and the others.
"Stop!
At this moment, He Yi happened to squeeze in from the crowd, and when he saw that the two sides were about to clash, he hurriedly shouted to stop.
"What's going on?" senior, I heard that you led people to block the city gate, what is the reason?!" He Yi came to Pei Dong's side, but he didn't let the surrounding soldiers retreat, looked at Zhong Zhuo and said coldly: "You can ignore worldly things and do your own thing, but the juniors can't ignore it! If you don't give me an explanation today, these two crimes of disturbing civil order and obstructing military affairs must be punished to the end!"
Although he very much needs the identity of the Zhong family to enter the Qi Cultivation Sect, but that is another matter, no matter who it is, no matter what the relationship is, it is necessary to put the conviction by mistake in the first place.
Besides, with so many people watching, He Yi had to let Zhong Zhuo say the reason, even if he believed that the other party was doing it out of good intentions.
"I can explain, but only for you. Zhong shook his head and took out a folded piece of letter from his sleeve.
He had already expected He Yi to say this, so he wrote down what he was going to say on paper early.
He Yi looked serious, took the letter and glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed.
There was only one sentence on the letter:
Sue Taishou, among the nearly 10,000 displaced people, I am afraid of confusing the demon of soul eating, this ghost is attached to the human body, if you don't do it, you can't distinguish it with the human eye, and you can only lure it out with the "soul bell" made in our clan.
"Soul Eater Demon ......" He Yi looked at it, clutched the letter paper tightly in his hand, and then threw it into the brazier next to him and burned it.
"Wen Jian, change the plan. Settle all the displaced people outside the city, build more temporary tents, open more stoves for food, and put all the doctors outside the city. Also, fully cooperate with these Zhong family brothers, all the people must let the Zhong family's brothers check it before entering the city!" Thinking of this, He Yi decisively gave an order.
It's no wonder that Zhong Zhuo and they would rather risk a conflict with the city defense army than take the initiative to explain.
Because, this kind of reason really can't be said in public, otherwise people will be panicked, and then there will be a big mess.
"Lord Taishou, can you take a step to speak?" After He Yi finished speaking, Zhong Zhuo made a gesture of "please" at the right time.
"I should have invited my seniors. He Yi said apologetically.
The two of them did not leave the city gate far, they chose a nearby inn, and sat in a secluded and uninhabited place on the second floor, and there was no one around, so they dared to talk about demons and ghosts.
"Senior, I heard that you have been going out frequently since a few days ago, but is it to investigate this matter?" He Yi asked in a low voice.
Linking up with the clues found from the villagers, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of the Zhong family's outing a few days ago.
It seems that there are indeed some yin and evil things around Huyang.
Zhong nodded clumsily, but shook his head again: "Yes and no." If you really want to talk about it, the old man even suspects that the ghost thing that suddenly appeared has something to do with you, Lord Taishou. ”
He Yi said suspiciously: "With me, how can you say this?"
Zhong Zhuo said solemnly: "A few days ago, your people and a black-robed monk fought outside Huyang City, and the terrifying aura in that black bead leaked out. The old man suspected that the evil spirit in the black bead had escaped. ”
