In the memory of Ren Cangqiong's previous life, it seems that martial law did not appear this time. At least, there is no clear memory in Ren Cangqiong's mind.
However, history has proven that those who dare to go against the authorities on the issue of martial law will generally end badly. Even if they are from a famous family in Yunluo City, even if they are a wealthy aristocrat. Anyone who does not cooperate on this major principle issue will mean that this person is good.
The days are over.
Even so, Ren Cangqiong did not panic. He did not rush through the panicked crowd. Instead, a few flew past the big trees on the street. With the elasticity of the branches, they continued to eject, and the chaotic crowd was swept away in a moment.
Thrown behind him.
Yunluo silver-clad guards with silver saddles and white horses, and a small team of twelve riders, dispersed the crowd in an orderly manner.
Ren Cangqiong had no intention of meddling in other people's business at the moment. He took the right direction and quickly returned home.
In an emergency, Ren Cangqiong's first thought was to go home and protect his family. In his previous life, the demon clan left a huge psychological shadow on him.
The place where the Ren family is located is quite peaceful at the moment. Ren Cangqiong flew back. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Xiao Qi, pack up, prepare enough dry food and water, and go into the basement to hide."
Xiao Qi didn't react for a moment. Seeing the seriousness on the young master's face, she subconsciously responded without asking a question.
"Call your father and brother. Prepare enough food. I'm afraid the state of martial law won't be lifted until ten days and a half."
Ren Cangqiong's family is very frugal. There are not many people. Ren Xinghe is not at home, so besides his mother Qiu Yun, there are only seven servants.
Every household has a spacious cellar, which is probably a characteristic of Yunluo City's noble families. This is because Yunluo City may enter a state of martial law at any time.
Compared to a house, this cellar is obviously more suitable for avoiding attacks by demonized puppets.
If the demonization storm does not break out on a large scale, the scattered demonization puppets will usually be cleared away. But no one can predict where the demonization puppets will go.
If you break into a house and don't have enough fighting power to resist, the end will be tragic.
Like Ren Cangqiong's family, the material reserves are naturally abundant. It is a small problem to last for ten days and a half.
Ren Cangqiong settled down at home, jumped out of the cellar, and told Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon. There is no danger in our place in a short period of time. However, if there is any abnormal movement, be sure not to make any abnormal noises.
.”
Yunluo City is close to the Shura Sea. It hears and sees it every day, and is no stranger to the monster clan. There is no need to explain these things at all. These servants understand it all and can't help but nod.
Qiu Yun asked with concern: "Qianqiong, where are you going?"
"Mom, I'm going to inform my grandmother so that all members of the family can prepare in advance."
This is family justice, and Qiu Yun naturally cannot stop it, so she warned: "You have to be careful."
Ren Cangqiong smiled: "Mom, don't worry, even if the demon puppets have dispersed, they didn't come to our area so quickly. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he jumped out of the cellar and walked out the door. After walking to the door and locking it, Ren Cangqiong increased his speed and soon arrived at Ren's headquarters.
Outside the headquarters, two concierges were chatting and laughing. They looked very relaxed and comfortable.
Ren Cangqiong didn't even wait for their notification and rushed in directly.
The concierge was about to stop him when he saw it was Master Cang Qiong. He quickly stopped and just shouted: "Master Cang Qiong, Master Cang Qiong..."
"Don't talk nonsense, inform all clan members immediately! It's an emergency, Yunluo City is under martial law!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two concierges changed drastically.
The old lady was in the house. After hearing Ren Cangqiong's shouting, the old lady turned her head and jumped out. Her eyes widened: "What did you say, Cangqiong?"
"Grandma, my grandson was on the street just now. On the way, he met Yun Luowei who dispersed the crowd and put the whole city under martial law."
The old lady's expression changed: "Are those monsters appearing again?"
Ren Cangqiong's face was also extremely serious, and he nodded and said: "Looking at the situation, it is likely to be like this. But I don't know whether the situation is serious this time."
The muscles on the old lady's face twitched slightly, and she ordered: "Quickly inform the whole clan that all the old, young, sick and weak must hide in the cellar. Organize warriors from the clan to patrol at twelve o'clock."
Cangqiong secretly smiled bitterly: "Grandma, my brother is not at home, I am alone. This patrol matter..."
The old lady waved her hand and said: "You are the leader of the younger generation in the clan. It makes no sense not to patrol at this time. You go home quickly and bring your mother and servants here. With me in charge, I will ensure the safety of your family."
"
Ren Cangqiong was overjoyed when he heard this. It was not that he was afraid of taking on the responsibility of patrolling. The reason why he hesitated was because he was worried about his mother's safety.
As soon as the old lady opened her mouth, she had no worries at all and said happily: "My grandson obeys!"
When I got home, I explained the situation. My mother, Qiu Yun, didn't say anything. She obeyed the old lady unconditionally.
After Ren Cangqiong settled his mother and servants, the other branches of the Ren family were almost ready.
The demon clan has always been Yunluo City's top concern. As long as there is a crisis related to the demon clan, no force can take it lightly and will consciously enter a first-level alert state.
The Ren family, three generations old, middle and young, are all in place.
The old lady spoke in a serious tone: "Everyone, there was a martial law in Yunluo City more than 20 years ago. That time, our Ren family suffered huge losses. My head was besieged by more than a dozen monster puppets and was accidentally poisoned by the fangs.
He was bitten and killed on the spot by Yun Luowei. Now, martial law has appeared again. I hope that our Ren family can learn a lesson and unite!"
Everyone was in awe.
Ren Cangqiong had also heard about this old case. The "head of the family" in the old lady's words was Ren Cangqiong's grandfather, who was also the patriarch of the Ren family at that time.
Such a heroic figure was still unable to do anything when surrounded by monster puppets.
That old case has always been a shame to the Ren family.
The old lady reiterated the regret of losing her husband more than twenty years ago. Although her tone was calm, her hands shook slightly. Obviously, the pain of losing her husband, even after more than twenty years, still cannot be relieved.
The old lady obviously planned to train the young people this time, and the division of labor was very clear.
"The family elders set up defenses in the core area of the family and are on duty twelve hours a day. They work in groups of four, divided into three groups. Each time they are on duty for four hours. The three groups are divided into three shifts.
The prime generation of the family is currently the main force of the family. There are about twice as many people as the elders. They also work in three shifts and are divided into three groups, but each group has eight people. They are responsible for the second layer of defense chain.
The younger generation selected the twelve best people and divided them into three groups of four. They were responsible for patrolling the perimeter.
It was obvious that the old lady was deliberately training the young people, and directly placed all the outstanding members of the younger generation of the family on the outer periphery.
In other words, if a monster puppet accidentally sneaks in, the younger generation will be patrolling the outermost areas and bear the brunt.
With Ren Cangqiong's current status, he is naturally the captain of his group. The old lady seems to be deliberately testing him, and the three partners assigned to him all have average combat effectiveness.
The first group was led by Ren Qingyue. This Ren Qingyue won third place in the family martial arts performance, and her status seemed to have improved a lot. Although her group did not have outstanding figures, it was better because of its average strength.
Four hours have passed.
Ren Qingyue's team completed the four-hour inspection mission. They were replaced by a team led by Ren Qingyun and Ren Gaoge.
The other two members of this group are average in strength, but Ren Qingyun and Ren Gaoge are both top young talents in the family.
At this time, it was midnight, when everything was sleeping, but Yunluo City was not peaceful. From every corner of the city, waves of uneasy restlessness and roaring could be heard, which made the two on-duty disciples who stayed behind feel uneasy.
Ren Qingyun and Ren Gaoge were more powerful and were patrolling the perimeter at this time. Seeing that the time was approaching, the two patrolled for several times without noticing anything strange. They wandered back from both ends of the manor, one to the left and the other to the right.
"Nothing happened..." Ren Qingyun and Ren Gaoge both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is it almost time? The next shift..." Ren Gaoge put the sword in his hand into the scabbard and looked inside the family manor. The first shift was finally completed and he could go back and take a rest. Don't look at it, there are only four
Hours, these four hours are more tiring than the usual three days and three nights of retreat.
Ren Qingyun was also relieved and walked towards the other two companions. At this moment——
There was a sudden movement in a big tree beside the wall, like a night cat scurrying through the trees, causing the salsa trees to ring.
Ren Qingyun's gaze was like a knife, shooting into the bushes. It seemed like a figure disappeared in the bushes.
"who?"
As soon as Ren Qingyun finished speaking, four ferocious-looking monsters suddenly appeared from the corner behind him.
Demonized puppet!
Ren Qingyun took a breath of cold air, stepped back, and took action with the long sword in his hand. The four demonized puppets actually cooperated very skillfully, and rushed towards Ren Qingyun from four directions.
The eight mutated arms and the monster claws were like giant blades, grabbing at Ren Qingyun.
Ren Qingyun swiped his sword, and the cold light shot through. The two demonized puppets were destroyed by the cold light, and their heads fell off immediately, and their bodies were missing.
"Qingyun, be careful!"
Ren Gaoge also reacted and fired a sword at a monster puppet behind Ren Qingyun.
puff!
The head of a demon puppet that was about to attack Ren Qingyun was directly penetrated.
But at the same time, the sharp claws of the last monster puppet just brushed against Ren Qingyun's arm, and pulled out a long blood groove!
Ren Qingyun used his backhand sword to directly behead the last demon puppet.
However, at this moment, he had no joy at all, his face turned pale, and he looked at the long blood groove...
Got hit!
Thinking of the endless poison of the demon clan, Ren Qingyun was very clear about the consequences of being attacked. Looking at the corpses of the demon clan puppets lying on the ground, Ren Qingyun shuddered. In an hour, at most, he would become just like these monsters on the ground.
