Zhao Guanren didn't know how many people followed him. He only knew that he had gathered hundreds of thousands of village warriors, police officers, and others along the way. It was estimated that the number of people exceeded one million, but the old, young, women, and children accounted for nearly half. It can be said that the vast majority
Part of it is a burden.
"Quick! Go to the city to collect kerosene and send it to the front line..."
Zhao Guanren stood in the valley and shouted loudly that Rongma County was the place where he had rescued Lu Datou. The people in the city had already evacuated to the other side of the river, but if he wanted to enter Rongma County, he first had to pass through a serpentine valley with two sides.
The cliffs are perfect places for ambush.
"Run faster! Don't block the road. If you want to die, just stay..."
Zhao Guanren pulled out his steel knife to drive away the refugees. The black mass of refugees was like a torrent, carrying their families, carrying their families, and trotting out of the valley. The officers and soldiers had all climbed up the cliffs on both sides, and a large number of torches were like two fire dragons.
Light up the valley.
"Child! Who has seen my child? Help..."
Noisy cries kept coming, but at this time, human life was like nothing. There were tens of thousands of people killed in accidents along the way. The dead were all so dead that it made people numb. Zhao Guanren had no time to care about it. This was a survival of the fittest.
The great escape.
"The people dug up the mountain road and prepared more kerosene to beat the rocks. Don't let the corpses rush up..."
Zhao Guanren's voice was almost hoarse from shouting, but except for the orderly soldiers who did not wait on him at all, the women around him were in charge of logistics. Everyone had their own things to do. Fortunately, he brought 60,000 elite soldiers, all of whom followed him.
An old subordinate who was beaten out of the grassland.
"Your Majesty! The scouts are here to report..."
A messenger rushed over and said: "Our strategy worked. Qingqi led a few small corpse men and rushed to Shahuzhou. The army of corpse men has been led over. It is estimated that it can delay us until dawn, but the number of people
It’s exceeded expectations, there may be two million people!”
"What? Where do so many people come from..."
Zhao Guanren looked at him in disbelief, and the other party said depressedly: "The people don't believe in evil. Many people left the city and ran back. Only when they saw us fleeing did we realize how terrible it was. There were at least a million people in the nearby villages and towns, and they all went to
Here we come!”
"Master! It's bad, Rongma County is not an empty city..."
Luo Tan ran over panting and said: "There are tens of thousands of misers hiding in the city. They have let them run away from the boats left at the dock. Not a single boat is left for us, only a large number of old and weak people are left.
Women and children, we can only wait for the fleet from Suzhou to arrive!"
"Damn it! Not enough success, more than enough failure..."
Zhao Guanren cursed angrily, gave some instructions, and hurriedly walked up the cliff. Nearly a hundred thousand civilians were busy on the mountain, and the top of the mountain had been built into a fortification, while the officers and soldiers were seizing the time to rest, eat and drink.
"Your Majesty! There are too many people running for their lives. When will this end..."
All the generals gathered together. Zhao Guanren came to the edge of the cliff and looked out. The dark wilderness was full of dots of fire. Countless people were pouring in from all directions. Their scale was comparable to that of corpses, but their combat power was beyond clouds.
The difference between mud.
"No matter how many there are, as many as can come in..."
Zhao Guanren said in a deep voice: "It is estimated that the zombies will arrive before dawn. As soon as they come in, they will blow up the mountains and seal the roads. If there are still humans left, they can only blame themselves. I will have issued the notice long ago. We have done our best to benevolent and righteous."
Got it!"
"But there are so many people who can't be transferred..."
A dragon rider Qianhu frowned and said: "If we only rely on the Suzhou fleet to transport so many people, we can't transport so many people in half a month, and the amount of people eating horse chews is an astronomical amount. By then, everyone will go crazy with hunger.
There will definitely be big trouble!"
"I can't wait until the day when I'm hungry..."
Zhao Guanren crossed his arms and said: "The two hundred thousand corpses are just the vanguard. There are millions more coming behind. The corpses alone can fill up the cliff. We can stay here for five days at most, but we must find a way to open it."
Give us a lifeline, otherwise we will die!"
"Your Majesty! Let's cross the river with the iron rope..."
A general clasped his fists and said: "We have enough blacksmiths. Let them immediately open the furnace to smelt iron and forge thick iron chains. When the fleet arrives, they will immediately connect the ships and put up door panels across the river. This way we can
Have people run to the other side of the river quickly!"
"It doesn't work!"
One person objected: "This is just a tributary of the Tongtian River. On the other side of the river, we have to walk for dozens of miles to reach the edge of the Tongtian River. Moreover, the water flow here is gentle, and the corpses can cross the river without holding stones. We are trapped
You can only wait to die on the other side!"
"Since the water flow is gentle, just build a bridge..."
Zhao Guanren immediately made a decision: "There are so many of us, we can't sit still and wait for death. All the men will start working for me. We will tear down the city wall and build a bridge. The iron chains will be left for use by the Tongtian River, and we will build another one when the fleet arrives."
pontoon!"
"That's right! We have strength in numbers..."
The eyes of all the generals lit up one after another, but Zhao Guanren said again: "Kill all the old animals and eat meat. Let the soldiers have a full meal first, and the rest will be distributed to the strong workers, craftsmen, women and children. The old man will let them
You have to figure it out yourself and you can’t divide the soldiers’ rations!”
"As you command!"
The generals clasped their fists helplessly and accepted their orders. Although respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a virtue, when it comes to life and death, the young must first be ensured to survive, so that they can withstand the catastrophe.
"Xue Ji! Where have you gone? Don't let anything happen to you..."
Zhao Guanren was sitting on a stone on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the endless crowd of refugees. Although the noise was quite suppressed, most of the people were hurrying on their way, and the rumbling footsteps were like a tsunami, which made people panic.
.
"Your Highness! I have something to report for my humble duty..."
A group of female dragon guards suddenly ran up. Zhao Guanren looked back in surprise and saw a young man and woman tied up. One of them was the imperial concubine Tan Wenxi, the only survivor who followed him out of the palace, and
A pretty tough pretty face.
"What's wrong? What did Tan Wenxi do..."
Zhao Guanren stood up inexplicably, and Tan Wenxi, who was ashen-faced, did not dare to look at him, but a female commander said angrily: "Your Highness! The imperial concubine has no shame and actually had a private meeting with a wild man in the forest. After being busted by someone,
If you use a weapon to hurt someone, you should be punished!"
"Tan Wenxi! This person can't be your former fiancé..."
Zhao Guanren looked at the young man funny, and Tan Wenxi cried and said: "I, I just met him once, and I didn't do anything shameless. But the eunuch was so happy with his success that he framed us for doing evil things. In anger, I... drew my sword and chopped him down.
Hurt him!"
"Your Majesty! It's none of your business..."
The pretty boy said anxiously: "Although my wife and I have been engaged since we were young, we have never crossed paths. We met by chance just now. We were afraid of being misunderstood so we went into the forest to reminisce about old times. If you want to fight or kill me, come at me. My wife is
It’s innocent, it’s all because I don’t understand the rules!”
"Johnson! What should be the punishment before this is over..."
Zhao Guanren looked at the female commander, who clasped her fists and replied: "Go back to your highness! The imperial concubine had a secret meeting with the man. Even if she did not do anything evil, she should be sentenced to death. The man was sentenced to be chopped alive, and his relatives were exiled thousands of miles away. This humiliation has been reported to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother said that the prince was allowed to fall as he pleased!"
"Tan Wenxi! Even your father was dead before. Fortunately, the dynasty has changed..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "I have remembered all the Dragon Imperial Guards. The Ji Kingdom no longer exists. We are now the Han Empire. The current Queen Mother is Chen Yongning. Tan Wenxi is at most a concubine of the previous dynasty. She is a folk widow who loves to fuck."
What are you doing, why are you so busy!"
"..."
Everyone was stunned for a while, even the generals who were watching were stunned. Tan Wenxi couldn't believe his ears, and he opened his mouth and couldn't speak at all.
"Don't you understand the meaning of the imperial edict..."
Zhao Guanren said in a funny way: "There is an emperor and a minister. Chen Yongning's eldest son is called Chen Guanxi, and he will soon ascend the throne as emperor. Before the emperor comes of age, the Queen Mother will listen to the government behind the curtain, but the Ji Kingdom is already a thing of the past. You are all ministers of the Han Empire.
Founding Fathers!”
"Your Highness! You are a humble person and are stupid. We didn't understand what you said..."
The female commander scratched her scalp and said in confusion: "We know that the dynasty has changed, but after all, the late husband of the Queen Mother is Ye Guanhai, and Tan Wenxi is her sister. According to the rules, she is still a member of the Han royal family. Do we have to depose all the ladies?"
"Johnson! Why are you so stupid..."
Zhao Guanren pinched her face and smiled and said: "Why is Guanxi Chen's surname Chen? It's to clear up the relationship with the Ye family, otherwise it will attract heavenly punishment, who will be the one to blame, and the Queen Mother was divorced before Ye Guanhai's death. The concubine of the previous dynasty,
The prince, the emperor, etc. have nothing to do with the Han royal family, do you understand?"
"I understand! I completely understand my humble position..."
The burly Johnson nodded and said: "How will the ladies of the previous dynasty be disposed of? Will we continue to send people to protect and serve them? They are already folk widows, right?"
"Before crossing the river, follow the old rules. Someone will take over after you cross the river..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and waved his hand. After Tan Wenxi and her lover were released, he smiled and said: "Daughter Tan Wenxi, you are free from now on. You can marry anyone you want!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness..."
Tan Wenxi excitedly pulled her lover to kneel down, and the pretty boy kowtowed excitedly, but Zhao Guanren suddenly looked at the woods to the side and said with a smile: "My hero, are you satisfied with my handling? Do you want to stab him?"
Can I use my sword?"
"There's an assassin!"
The Dragon Guards immediately dispersed and began to drink, but a man in black slowly walked out of the woods, carrying a dark sword and bowing and said: "The prince's treatment is fair, and the common people thank the prince for his kindness on behalf of my brother!"
"Second brother! Why are you here..."
The pretty boy exclaimed, and Tan Wenxi also stood up in a hurry and said: "Your Majesty! This is Li Zihao's second brother Li Zinan. He is only concerned about our safety and is not here to assassinate the king. And like you, he is exempt from... from that
Corpse poison!"
"Immune to corpse poison? How is it possible..."
Zhao Guanren looked at the man in black in surprise, but Li Zinan said expressionlessly: "The common people don't know what immunity is, but I saw the unprecedented battle between the prince and Ye Yunchen on the wall of Jinling City, but the poisonous fog made me dizzy.
I'm so sorry for not coming forward!"
"Have you ever been injured by a zombie? Are you sure the corpse poison can't hurt you..."
Zhao Guanren looked at him in disbelief. Li Zinan still looked like a dead person and said: "I was accidentally bitten by a zombie servant. At that time, I thought it would be infected, but I was unconscious for a while and it was fine. I
I don’t know why this is happening!”
"Ha~"
Zhao Guanren stepped forward and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet another tower-opener. Tell me what you saw when you were unconscious and who was talking to you?"
"have no idea!"
Li Zinan shrugged and said: "There is a strange black guy. It says it can make me the supreme king of martial arts, the dragon among men. I tell it to roll away, and it rolls away!"
Zhao Guanren asked with great interest: "It seems that you are a member of the martial arts world. What is your cultivation level? Do you have a name in the martial arts world?"
"Super first-class! Second on the list of heroes, Li Zinan, the life-killing flying knife..."
"Who's number one?"
"Ye Yunchen has Ye Yunchen's trump card, but he knows magic, so his victory was disgraceful..."
