Chapter 727 Chaos Omen
When the first ray of sunlight in the east shone on the earth, the city of Huizhou, which was still emitting thick smoke, had already been left far behind by Yan Liqiang and his group, and had completely lost its shadow.
The last time the group encountered the walking corpses was an hour ago. Yan Liqiang led everyone around a large town. Then when he passed through a wetland, he heard the movement on the roadside. More than a hundred walking corpses suddenly rushed out of the reeds, stared at the middle of the convoy with blood-red eyes.
This time, Concubine Rong and others were shocked and screamed in the carriage, because the walking corpse rushed over had already touched their four-wheeled carriage. They could hear the sound of the walking corpse's nails passing through the iron plate outside the carriage, but in the end, the more than one hundred walking corpses were quickly wiped out, and Concubine Rong and others who were sitting in the carriage came over without any danger.
After this time, Yan Liqiang led everyone to the official road and continued to go west. Then until now, he never saw any walking corpses along the way. However, at this time, he could see discarded broken boxes, worn furniture, overturned and damaged vehicles, broken bottles, jars and other things everywhere on the ditches and grass on both sides of the official road. They seemed a little confused. Everyone was numb to these things and turned a blind eye.
The rising sun in the morning also shone warmly on everyone's backs, making everyone feel like they have survived the disaster. They thought to themselves that those walking corpses should not have any more. Thinking about the experience of escaping from Luyuan for the past two days and two nights, many people in the team felt that it was a miracle that they could still come out alive...
There are stretches of hills on the roadside, and the hills in early spring are green. But there is no village of high size along the way. There is an inn on the roadside just now, but there is no one in the inn. The entire inn is like experiencing a terrible disaster. Everything inside is smashed to pieces, and even the wall is pushed down, and the pillars collapsed, just like a demolition site after a failure. There are several beaches of dark brown blood on the ground outside the inn. There is a faint smell of corpses in the grass next to the inn. There are mosquitoes flying, no one goes over to see what is in the grass. Because of this scene, everyone has seen too many along the way, and that scene will never make people happy.
The team ran silently on the road, with the sound of hooves rumbling. Although it felt like they would no longer encounter walking corpses, everyone still dared not take it lightly.
Finally, Yan Liqiang, who was rushing to the front of the team, suddenly slowed down, and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. After everyone stopped, he saw a boundary marker on the side of the road ahead with four big red characters written on it...
"Ah, Hualan County is ahead..."
"Hualan County, we have arrived in Hualan County..."
"We have rushed out of the capital and entered Huizhou..."
The entire team suddenly cheered, countless people were excited, and the atmosphere of the team suddenly changed, full of joy and excitement. Even those who were still tired just now cheered up and started screaming.
Several officers from Luyuan rushed up on a rhino-long horse. When Meng Hui saw the words on the boundary monument, he shouted with joy, "So, we have left the western capital of Jing..."
"Hahaha, the key is that we are still alive!" Liu Xitong also laughed, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Yan Liqiang, "Along the way, thanks to the adults passing through the hurdles and setting up bridges when they encountered water, especially last night, when he led the way, we passed through the entire Huizhou City area, and we did not encounter many walking corpses..."
Yan Liqiang also breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't relax his mouth. Instead, he took the opportunity to remind everyone and said loudly, "Don't relax your vigilance first. We are still in danger of being completely out of danger now. Although those walking corpses are gone for the time being, it does not mean there is no other danger. The situation in the states and counties around the Gyeonggi is very chaotic, with a large number of refugees fleeing in. Many people from the White Lotus Sect also took the opportunity to make trouble. Don't be careless!"
After hearing Yan Liqiang's words, the entire team gradually calmed down.
"Xi Tong, which county is Hualan County in front of it?" Yan Liqiang looked at Liu Xi Tong and asked. This Liu Xi Tong was simply a living map. He was too familiar with the terrain of the roads around the capital, and was smart and capable. It was so convenient to have Liu Xi around him along the way.
Liu Xitong looked around for a while before speaking, "From the terrain, it should be Wuting County of Hualan County!"
"How far is it from here to the county town of Wuting County?"
"It's probably forty miles!"
"Okay, everyone should work harder. Let's go to the county town of Wuting County first and find a place to rest for everyone..."
Everyone was happy when they heard Yan Liqiang say this and ran with Yan Liqiang's mount.
Although the forty-mile road seemed far, it didn't feel far away on the official road, especially with carriages and horses. It was only more than an hour later, Yan Liqiang and his group had already seen the county town of Wuting County from afar.
There were still four or five miles away from the county town. Yan Liqiang led the team had to slow down because there were a large number of refugees gathering on both sides of the official road. The refugees were resting in the woods and on the roadside on both sides of the official road, dragging their families with their families, with disheveled faces, and some were alone, while others were carrying a simple bow. When they heard the sound of cars and horses coming from the road, the people turned their heads and turned to look at Yan Liqiang and their team. Some looked numb and some were surprised, as if they didn't expect that there would be a team coming from the west of Jing.
All the refugees looked at Yan Liqiang and their team silently. Some refugees stood up. Yan Liqiang and the military uniforms of the Imperial Horse and the soldiers around him were wearing. At this time, they seemed a little special and had an unspeakable deterrent.
There are too many refugees on the roadside, and the more you go, the more refugees you see. Looking at the silent eyes of the refugees, for some reason, Yan Liqiang felt his scalp a little numb. In the past two days, he had not had his scalp numbness, but at this time, his heart was beating a little fast.
Yan Liqiang gave a wink, and Liu Xitong squeezed the horse's belly and let the Xilong horse quickly come to Yan Liqiang's side.
"Let your brothers be careful and protect the frames of King Min and the empresses..." Yan Liqiang whispered.
"I understand!" Liu Xitong looked at the dense refugees around her, and her face became solemn. Then she gently turned her head and turned around to explain to the people around her, asking everyone to pass the words on.
As soon as Liu Xitong turned around, a person suddenly rushed out of the roadside and stopped Yan Liqiang's rhino horse. If Yan Liqiang had not been quick-witted and quick-witted, the rhino horse would have stopped suddenly, Cai Yun Zhuiyue would have hit the man directly. Several soldiers next to Yan Liqiang wanted to pull out the weapon from his waist and chop it over, but Yan Liqiang stopped him.
"Have you seen my wife and son?" The one who stopped Yan Liqiang was a middle-aged man with disheveled hair, unshaven beard and unconscious eyes. The middle-aged man's clothes were torn and he described it as a bit embarrassed. He looked up at Yan Liqiang, but his eyes were a little empty. "My wife is wearing a blue coat. My son is so tall. He is called Fusheng. When he smiles, he still has two dimples on his face. Do you see them..."
Yan Liqiang just glanced at this person and knew that there was probably something wrong with the person's mental state. He might have been too stimulating and was a little abnormal. He sighed in his heart, shook his head, and said calmly, "Sorry, I didn't see it, please move Lu away, be careful of being hit by a carriage and horse..."
The man gave way to the roadside, watched Yan Liqiang riding on Caiyun and chasing the moon, then raised his head and kept asking the people passing by the team with the same question, "Have you seen my wife and son? My wife was wearing a blue coat, my son is so tall, she is called Fusheng, and she still has two dimples on her face when she smiles. Have you seen them..."
"Have you seen my wife and son? My wife was wearing a blue coat. My son was so tall. She was called Fusheng. When she smiled, she still had two dimples on her face. Did you see them..."
The team passed by the man silently, and no one answered the question. But before he could walk a mile, Yan Liqiang discovered that when the refugees on the roadside saw their convoy coming, there were gradually people walking forward with staggering steps and following the convoy. Gradually, there were more and more people following their carriages and horses. From one or two people at the beginning, there were hundreds of people...
"Sir, give me some food. I can't eat it, but the child in my arms has not eaten for more than a day. My milk is gone. If I don't eat, my child will starve to death..." Seeing Yan Liqiang and his horse coming, a woman holding a baby crying in her clothes, knelt on the side of the road and kowtowed to Yan Liqiang, loudly begging the woman kowtowed very hard. She kowtowed the first head and raised her face, and her forehead was swollen. The second head kowtowed, the woman's forehead had been cut open by the gravel on the side of the road and began to bleed, but the woman was still kowtowing. Every time, she smashed her head heavily on the ground, leaving a blood mark on the side of the road...
Looking at this woman, Yan Liqiang's heart trembled!
"Sir, give me some food. We haven't eaten for two days and are too hungry to walk..." Several old men next to the road also stretched out their hands and looked at Yan Liqiang with their eyes.
"Sir, give me some food..." A bunch of refugees next to me rushed over...
