Chapter 723 Coping

"Is this Qingping Town?" Yan Liqiang rode on Caiyun Chasing the Moon, looked at the town in front of him, turned his head and asked Liu Xitong.

"Yes, this is Qingping Town. I have been here several times before!" Liu Xitong nodded affirmatively and looked at the surrounding streets, "It seems that there is no walking dead here!"

"Be careful, don't be careless, take a look first!"

"Um!"

The whole team followed Yan Liqiang slowly. There was no one on the streets of the town, and the walking dead could not see them. There were some debris discarded everywhere, broken tiles, broken cans and scattered furniture, and some were open on the street, with some open doors, and some were locked tightly. There was no one to see. The scene in the town in front of him reminded Yan Liqiang of the kind of town that was being demolished and uninhabited.

Not only Yan Liqiang, but the other people riding on the horse in the team also turned their heads one by one and looked around here, as if they were afraid that there would be a walking corpse to jump out from where they would jump out.

The town was quiet. Apart from the occasional birds flying overhead, only Yan Liqiang and his group of people were clattering horse hooves and the rotation of the wheels of the cart echoed on the ground of the bluestone slab.

All the traces in this town show that the people living in the town should have escaped, which makes Yan Liqiang feel a little comforted, because the people in this town can live, and it is very likely that the demon worm in his hand is still alive and has not been killed, so most of the people in this town have not become a walking corpse.

Finally, after walking more than a hundred meters on the road in the town, the group finally saw five burnt corpses on the street. The five completely burnt corpses were locked with iron chains. Judging from the traces at the scene, they should have been tied up and thrown into the middle of the street and piled up and burned to death with firewood. Those walking corpses would not be such troublesome killing. It is very likely that these five corpses should be walking corpses infected with insect eggs.

At this time, the first ray of light from the rising sun had already shone on the ground, and the sky was gradually brightening.

Something came from the entrance of the alley not far away...

"Who..." Liu Xi shouted loudly, and the crossbow in her hand suddenly turned around. At the entrance of the alley, many soldiers riding on horses also raised the weapons in their hands.

A cat ran out of the alley and turned around and saw so many people on the street holding guys at it. He was probably shocked. After a meow, he walked across the street in a blink of an eye, climbed flexibly onto a big banyan tree, then jumped onto the tile head, and then disappeared...

Liu Xitong let out a long breath and lowered the crossbow on her hand.

"Where is the iron lock bridge?" Yan Liqiang knew it was a cat after hearing the sound of footsteps, so he didn't move just now.

“Just not far ahead!”

After walking along the road for a few hundred meters, the group finally arrived at the bridgehead of the iron chain bridge in the town.

The iron lock of the bridge is still there, but the seven or eight thick iron locks that form the bridge deck have been cut off and fallen into the river. The deck of the iron chain bridge no longer exists. There are only three or four iron locks on the entire iron lock bridge, spanning both sides of the river. Look at the iron lock, ordinary people can barely walk over with them, but they can't bring too many things. It is completely impossible to get over the carriage and horses. When they see such a scene, almost everyone in the team looked at Yan Liqiang and stopped talking. What to do now has to be decided by Yan Liqiang. From last night to now, Yan Liqiang has used his strength and practical actions to establish the prestige in the entire team. The people in the team ran here from Luyuan, and everyone was still alive, and only a few were injured. This is a miracle.

Before Yan Liqiang could speak, a guard in the palace ran over on a horse, "Sir Yan, the empress wants to talk to you..."

"Yeah!" Yan Li emphasized that he turned his horse's head, walked back a few steps, and then came to the carriage where Concubine Rong was sitting.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, revealing Concubine Rong's eyes. He ran that night, and the people in the carriage probably did not have a good rest. Concubine Rong's eyes also revealed a hint of fatigue.

"Sir Yan, can't you get through the bridge in front?"

"Well, this bridge has also been destroyed, but it is not as bad as the bridge in front. There are still a few iron chains. People can hold the iron chains, but the carriages cannot..."

“Is there any road ahead?”

"I heard from Lieutenant Liu that there is a ferry dozens of miles ahead..."

"This... I think everyone is a little tired after running all night... Can you take a break in this town for a while..." Concubine Rong said, with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes and a slightly distorted expression.

Yan Liqiang's head was filled with a snake and he immediately understood that although he was looking for a place on the road for a quarter of an hour last night to make it convenient for everyone, Concubine Rong was bumpy all night and was a little anxious and could no longer hold it in. But she was embarrassed to explain, so she could only make such a suggestion in a tactful way.

Looking at Concubine Rong and then the exhausted faces in the team, Yan Liqiang made a decision in a moment, "Okay, then I'll find a place to rest in Qingping Town first, everyone eat something to restore their mental strength, and let's find a way to do the rest..."

Concubine Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's the trouble of Lord Yan..." After that, she put down the curtain again.

Yan Li emphasized that he would come back from the horse head, wave and call out several officers from Luyuan, "Zhang Leyan, his name is Qian Dazhu, you two bring a few brothers to the entrance of the town we passed in front of us to set up a few posts, and as long as someone comes, he will immediately warn!"

"Yes!" Zhang Leyan and Qian Dazhu nodded, greeted him, and took more than a dozen people to turn around and rode the rhino horse toward the entrance of the town. The two officers from the Luyuan were smart, and Qian Dazhu was steady. They were good partners together and would not miss them.

"Guo Sida, Xu Shu, Meng Hui, you three will take people to the town to search and find a place where everyone can stay!"

"Yes!" The three of them took the order and turned around and left with a group of soldiers.

"Yan Qing..." Yan Liqiang shouted.

Yan Qing, carrying a horned python bow, ran over from the end of the team on a horse, "Young Master, call me..."

"Well, Master Liu knows the way. You and Master Liu go to the dock in Bailongdian to find out the situation and see if there are any ships..."

Liu Xitong knows Lu, and her cultivation is good. Yan Qing is a magic archer. The two of them partner to explore the road ahead and there will be no problems. Even if they encounter a walking zombie, they can return safely.

When the two of them heard Yan Liqiang's order, they took a look, clasped their fists at the same time, "Yes!" After saying that, they continued to rush towards the south.

...

Qingping Town is not big, in just a while, Guo Sida, Xu Shu and Meng Hui took people to circle the entire town. As expected, there were no people in the town, and they all ran away. There were no walking corpses. There were two large mansions beside the bamboo forest in the north of the town, which looked pretty good and just allowed everyone to rest.

Yan Liqiang directly asked everyone to rest in the two big mansions.

The two big mansions were locked and next to each other, and there was no one inside. When Yan Liqiang and the others arrived, they directly broke the door lock of the big mansion and then moved in.

The group ran all night last night and was so tired that they came to the mansion, they rested and ate.

Yan Liqiang directly asked Concubine Rong and the others to live in the backyard of a large mansion. There were several yards in the backyard, a garden, a rockery and a loft. It seemed that it was originally the residence of the female family in the mansion, but now it was just enough for the women in the palace to live in.

Just after a while, Liu Xitong and Yan Qing were back and brought news.

"There are a few small boats still there on Bailongdian, but the people have basically run away. Many of the people in the villages have escaped. Some of them have not had time to escape for a moment, so they hid in Bailongdian and did not dare to come out. There are reed marshes that are fifty or sixty miles away in Bailongdian, and they can't see at a glance. Many people in Qingping Town who haven't had time to escape are hiding in the reed marshes. As soon as we arrived at the dock, we met someone who ran out of the reed marshes to find something. The man saw these military uniforms I was wearing and dared to come out to meet us and told us the situation..."

"Are there many people living in the nearby village?"

"There are quite a lot. I heard that the man said that there were not many villagers who turned into walking corpses in the villages here. The only few were beaten and burned to death before they were injured. That night, I saw the silence of the beacon in the Imperial Capital. In addition, I heard that something happened in Huizhou City and it became chaotic. People in the nearby villages began to run away. In the past, many people here wanted to run away when they heard that the heavenly tribulation was coming, but there was no way to guide them. The government was in charge. After the chaos in the past two days, they just happened to seize the opportunity..."

"Okay, I understand, you guys go and rest!"

After asking Liu Xitong and Yan Qing to leave, Yan Liqiang asked someone to call Manager Wen over.

"Ah, sir, come to me if you have something to do!" After seeing Yan Liqiang's divine power with his own eyes, Manager Wen saw Yan Liqiang's smile became even more humble and his words were cautious.

"There must be a blacksmith shop in Qingping Town. Take a few craftsmen to see. Although the blacksmiths in the town have escaped, the things in the blacksmith shop should still be there. You ask your craftsmen to go to the blacksmith shop to create a few iron chains to repair the bridge. After the construction is completed, we can cross the river by repairing the bridge. This must be done before dark!" Yan Liqiang patted the manager Wen's shoulder, "When we can leave here, it depends on your manager Wen!"

Manager Wen was shocked, and then immediately felt like he was injected with chicken blood. "Don't worry, as long as there is a blacksmith shop in the town, I will definitely let someone do things before dark!"

"Yeah, go!"

Manager Wen gave a tribute and left.
