Chapter 41: Preparations Before Doing (Asking for Votes!)
In front of the county government hall, a large number of neatly dressed officials gathered here, and there were hundreds of them, which were all the officials of the county government in Shuichuan County.
"Listen, everyone, now I'm going to give you an important task. ”
Tang Zhong stood on the steps of the lobby, looking at the large number of people in the audience, and said with a serious face.
"This is a matter of life and death for 100,000 people in the entire county, and you must take it seriously. ”
After emphasizing the importance of the matter, Tang Zhong began to explain the specific process of the task.
He instructed the officials present to be in groups of five, with the county government as the center, to gather all the residents of Shuichuan County, who had not yet been shrouded in black fog, around the county government.
Xu Ming, Liang Zhen and the others stood aside and watched, this was the decision they made with Tang **.
This can reduce casualties and more effectively draw out the Fog Demon itself.
Since the black fog is spreading all the time, every moment, there will be new people shrouded in it, if you don't gather all the people away from the black fog in advance, then no one can be sure when the fog demon body will take action against Liang Zhen as a bait.
After Tang Zhong explained all the necessary things, all the officials began to look for their teammates, formed a team of five, and stepped out of the gate of the county government.
Looking at the figures of the officials leaving one after another, Xu Ming patted Xiaoyuan's shoulder and led her towards the back hall of the county government.
Before all the people were gathered, nothing had been made clear for the time being.
After passing through a long corridor one after the other, the master and servant soon came to the courtyard of the back hall.
At this moment, Liu Xiong, who was seriously injured by his son last night, was standing in the courtyard with crutches and eyes blank.
He had been awake for a while, so he had already learned the fact of Liu Chong's death from Tang Zhong's mouth.
However, how Liu Chong died, Tang Zhong did not tell him, but only fooled him vaguely.
"Pop ......"
The slight sound of footsteps sounded from the door of the back hall, waking up Liu Xiong, who was in grief, and he slowly turned his head to look over.
When he saw that it was Xu Ming's master and servant who walked in, Liu Xiong's eyes immediately turned red.
"Xu Ming, how did Chong'er die, did you kill it?"
As soon as Xu Ming walked into the courtyard, he didn't want to pay attention to Liu Xiong, but since the head of the Thunder Sword Sect had spoken, he had to say something.
Ignoring Liu Xiong's angry eyes, Xu Ming came to him unhurriedly, swept his eyes with a cold gaze.
"I hope you will do less of this kind of self-defeating thing in the future, after all, not everyone is like me, and they don't particularly like to kill. ”
"Remember, you owe me two million taels of silver, don't die too soon. ”
After slowly saying these two paragraphs, Xu Ming stretched out his hand and patted Liu Xiong on the shoulder, and the powerful power of suppressing demons surged out from his palm, sealing Liu Xiong's cultivation completely.
After doing this, Xu Ming didn't look at Liu Xiong, who was oppressed by his momentum and didn't dare to move, and returned to his room with Xiaoyuan.
"Squeak...... Squeak......"
In the courtyard, Liu Xiong, who had a blue face but didn't dare to move at all, clenched his fists hard.
At this time, Liang Zhen and Lin Lao also walked into the courtyard, glanced at Liu Xiong, who was standing in a daze, and both of them went directly back to their rooms.
Time passed slowly, and on a remote street in Shuichuan County, three figures were walking in it with a vigilant face.
"it, what the hell is this Shuichuan County, why is it so weird, there are monsters everywhere that Lao Tzu has never seen. ”
Wang Baojian supported Wang Jinjian, whose face was very pale, and complained as he walked.
After the three brothers had rested for the night before, they soon realized that the sky in Shuichuan County was very wrong.
Obviously, the time is already in the middle of the day, but in this Shuichuan County, it is still as dark as night.
Combined with the previous experience of being attacked by a ghost baby, the three brothers felt that there was a big problem in Shuichuan County, and Wang Jinjian had been seriously injured.
So, the three brothers decided to leave Shuichuan County immediately.
At the beginning, Wang Baojian and his party walked quite smoothly, and soon came to the edge of Shuichuan County.
However, what made the three of them dumbfounded was that around Shuichuan County, a layer of dark fog was shrouded in ink at some point.
Out of the psychology that the sooner they left, the less dangerous it might be, the three brothers entered the black mist together after discussing it for a while.
It's just that after stepping into the black fog, the three of them walked inside for several hours, and they didn't get out of the range shrouded in the black fog.
Sensing that the situation was wrong, the three brothers gave up the idea of leaving Mizukawa County and immediately turned around and walked back.
But just a few steps back, the black mist, which had not moved, suddenly rolled up.
After that, a strange creature made entirely of black mist struck them from the thick fog.
With the lesson of facing the ghost baby before, the Three Musketeers did not fight hard with this strange creature, and they fought while retreating.
Simply, the strength of this strange creature was not high, and the three of them retreated smoothly to the area that was not covered by the black fog.
"Big brother, you just don't say a word, what if you attract something again. ”
Wang Yujian walked on the other side of Wang Jinjian, and said helplessly.
His eldest brother, after he stayed away from the black fog, kept talking there, and his ears hurt so much that he was noisy.
"Hmph, come on, Lao Tzu will be afraid of him?"
Hearing this, Wang Baojian waved the big sword he was carrying on his shoulder.
However, he was only hard-mouthed, and after saying this, there was no follow-up, and the whole street immediately fell silent.
Wang Jinjian was put in the middle by the two, his current state is not very good, and his brain is groggy.
Feeling that his ears were finally cleared, Wang Jinjian raised his somewhat heavy head and glanced forward.
This look made him stunned for an instant.
"Big brother, third brother, see if there is a figure in red standing in front of you. ”
Wang Jinjian's eyes stared straight ahead without blinking, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
"What, anyone?"
The other two, who were contemplating their lives, heard the reminder and immediately looked up.
I saw a slender figure wearing a bright red robe surrounded by a red halo of light, standing quietly in the center of the dim street.
"Gollum ......"
Looking at the red figure with scattered hair that was only twenty or thirty meters away from him and the others, Wang Baojian's throat squirmed uncontrollably.
"Third brother, you won't really be ...... by you"
Before he finished speaking, the big red figure standing in front of him slowly raised his slender right arm and beckoned to the Three Musketeers in a hollow and charming voice.
"Come here~"
