Thanks to Fat Ji Zheng's extraordinarily diligent mass work, more than half of the settlers were registered in the register. Although there were still a few craftsmen headed by Fang Liang who stubbornly refused to leave, Kino Ji had actually followed the arrangement of the consular office.
Ready to leave.
The evacuation operation was led by the messenger Zhang Ji. More than a dozen requisitioned heavy-duty cage trucks were moved to the left side of the square, and the settlers loaded their property into the cage trucks according to the quota assigned to each household. The pack animals towed the cage trucks.
They were also driven to the square. After being loaded into a cage car, the beasts of burden were immediately hitched to the right side of the square. They were operating in such a busy but orderly manner.
This was the scene Gu Chen saw before setting off in the morning. At that time, he secretly praised the messenger's governance. However, when he returned to the settlement half a day later, the orderly scene no longer existed——
"Hey, my other side started vomiting blood too! What the hell is going on!?"
"It's a curse! Just because you guys want to abandon Kinoji, our ancestors cast the curse!"
"Ah ah ah! It doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter who you are, please come out and think of a solution!"
Unexplained whines and howls mixed with fear played a chaotic sound of disaster in the square. Among the residents gathered in the square, some ran around in panic, some knelt down and wailed, and some hugged their shoulders and shivered.
Gu Chen saw several government soldiers in the chaotic crowd, shouting desperately to maintain order, but their efforts were as ineffective as straw thrown into the flood.
On the contrary, the pioneers who were proficient in fighting formations were able to stabilize their position earlier.
"It's a mess, something happened?"
"It smells of blood, over there!"
Following the hand of the villain gunman, Gu Chen glanced at a cage truck in front of him on the left. The cage truck full of supplies fell to the side for some reason. Many settlers gathered around the cage truck with angry faces. Some were irritable.
The craftsman was pushing and rubbing someone, and the squat figure being pushed looked quite familiar.
"Wen Hui!"
Gu Chen called Fat Jizheng's name and hurried away, with soldiers and spearmen guarding him as a matter of course.
Even the Kinoji people with strong folk customs would not have the courage to confront the pioneers. The expelled settlers gave way one after another, and the irritable craftsman who grabbed Wen Hui's collar also stared at the red fish.
The soldier Guo Bei let go of his hand as if flinching. Then the soldier Guo Bei snorted coldly, took out his big shield and knocked it heavily on the ground. The shock from the heavy steel shield caused the settlers to step back a few steps in unison, leaving a space free.
Guo Bei stood with his shield, Sha Zu rubbed the handle of his gun, and Red Fish flicked his fingers to summon several flame butterflies, marking an insurmountable restricted area around the open space. The courage exuded by the pioneers overwhelmed the settlers who were ten times the number, and the rear was surrounded by
Gu Chen, who was handed over to Guo Bei's team, quickly walked over and helped up the panting Fat Ji Zheng.
"Wen Hui, are you okay?"
"Gu, Mr. Gu!"
There were no obvious external injuries on Fat Ji Zheng's body, but he seemed to be severely frightened. When he saw Gu Chen, he immediately showed an expression of amnesty, and then started talking with tears in his eyes.
"Fortunately, you're back! Alas, everything was fine until noon, but suddenly everything was in chaos...Everywhere was in a mess. I asked your Majesty to go back to the armor car to take refuge first. I don't know where he is...Everyone is
I was so frightened that no one could listen to me no matter what I said..."
"Uh..." Affected by the cold tone of the Young Supervisor Si, Ji Zheng Wen Hui's mood stabilized a little. After taking several deep breaths, he finally managed to recover to the level where he could speak calmly.
"Well, look at this." Wen Hui carefully turned sideways and let out the dumped cage car behind him.
Gu Chen frowned and looked over, only to see that the dumped cage car was tied to a pack animal. The herbivorous pack animal, which was as strong as an adult rhinoceros, was originally a valuable animal carried by the settlers to reclaim the wasteland, but at this moment, it was lying with its four hooves stiff.
On the ground, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth and eyes. His purple tongue fell out of his mouth, and he seemed to be out of breath.
"Is this the sudden death of the beast of burden?" Gu Chen was stunned.
"Yes." Wen Hui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with trembling hands. "There were a total of twenty-three beasts of burden in Kinoji, and all of them died suddenly at noon today."

Several centuries ago, the seventh emperor of the Shang-Li Empire achieved the great feat of bringing the entire Huangdong Continent under his rule, and then divided the empire's territory into a central imperial territory and twelve princely territories surrounding the imperial territory. The imperial territory became Tang
Of course it is the richest region in the empire, but the other twelve vassal territories also have their own superior economic industries and social features.
As the southernmost vassal territory of the empire, Liyang Territory is famous for its natural resources that are second to none among the vassal territories. Not only is it rich in nature, but the exchanges with the Southern Barbarians have also brought Liyang society elements of civilization that are unknown in the Central Plains, and from it,
Many things that we are proud of were born.
If we want to say that the most famous one is the Summer Palace.
Changxia Palace is not only the administrative center that rules Liyang, but also a gorgeous palace that serves the daily life of the princes Wu family. The skilled craftsmen employed by Liyang Palace in the past dynasties have continued to devote their energy to the construction of the palace for hundreds of years. As a result, Changxia Palace has not only become the best in Liyang
Even among the Central Plains countries, there are few buildings that can rival it in terms of craftsmanship.
It is a pity that compared with the famous Changxia Palace, the Wu family of Liyang, which owns the Changxia Palace, has been on the path of decline since the previous generation, Duke Liyang. At present, the Wu family, in addition to staying in Jianguan all year round,
Li Yanggongwai of the Fortress
There were no more sons, and the only children left were the eldest daughter, Wu Yan, and the second daughter, Wu Zhen. There were many gossipy guys secretly predicting that Changxia Palace would fall into his hands sooner or later, and this was often the case.
It became a heartache for the Wu family's retainers.
Changxia Palace is divided into Qianluo and Houluo according to their functions. Among them, Qianluo is the hub of Liyang Mansion, while Houluo is the palace where the Wu family lives and lives. According to the current situation of the Wu family’s current population, Qianluo is
The frequency of use is overwhelmingly low. Barbara, the butler in charge of housekeeping, has a sad face all day long, but today she is smiling.
Wu Yan, the owner of Changxia Palace, rarely finished his official duties early and returned from Qianluo to Houluo to rest. The second daughter Wu Zhen also temporarily left her job for the first time in a long time and returned to Changxia Palace to reunite with her sister.
Two-thirds of the members of the family have returned to Changxia Palace. This alone is enough to make the attendants busy and enthusiastic.
Listening to Barbara's angry shouts outside the window, the Wu sisters couldn't help but smile on their faces.
"Aunt Ba, you are still so energetic."
"That's right, a while ago she even asked me to introduce her nephew to me as her son-in-law."
"Eh?" The female secretary, who heard this for the first time, looked at her sister in astonishment.
"What's the result?" The marriage of the lady in charge of the palace is supposed to be a serious topic related to the fate of the princes' families and the peace and tranquility of the country. However, what drives the female secretary to ask questions at this time is obviously biased towards gossip and curiosity.
