Without a demon general to command the army of zombies, three million refugees finally crossed the Tongtian River safely. Old, young, women, children, and craftsmen all followed the army to Tiantong Pass, which was only more than ten days away. More than 600,000 soldiers and civilians collectively headed towards
Depart for Gusu City.
"Your Majesty! It's up to you to perform next..."
Zhao Guanren stood by the river, holding Emperor Shunyao's hand, and said: "The sudden merger of the soldiers of the two countries will definitely cause many conflicts, and there will be millions of displaced people. The trouble will be great, and only you are enough."
Mediate them!”
"Don't worry! This is my strength..."
Emperor Shunyao smiled confidently and said: "The two countries will soon become one family. I will treat a bowl of water equally and will never take sides. But why do you want Xiao Xi to go to Gusu City to ascend the throne?
Isn’t it the same when Border Gate ascends the throne? Anyway, he is just an infant!"
"Have you forgotten? The king dies in the country, and the emperor guards the country..."
Zhao Guanren said: "If the little emperor is not allowed to stay on the front line, the people of Kyrgyzstan will definitely complain, and they will not recognize the forced accession to the throne. Besides, there are tens of thousands of people in the Ye family hiding in Jiangnan Road. We must give the people a way to turn the tide.
Only the little emperor will be recognized!"
"Oh~ I'm just afraid that Jiangnan Road can't be defended..."
Emperor Shunyao sighed: "Without you in charge there, there are so many noble clans and clans that it is difficult for the soldiers to work together. Moreover, once Jiangnan Road falls, tens of millions of people will become corpses. I, Dashun, with the strength of the whole country, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop it."
Stay!"
"Jin Wuming will personally go and take charge, accompanied by several veterans and ministers..."
Zhao Guanren said: "Yang and Chang'an will also send troops to jointly defend the Jiangnan Road fortifications. All refugees on the front line will be transported to Dashun by ship. Dashun's logistics must keep up, but I can't help with this matter.
, you have to discuss it carefully with Shiqi, and put the overall situation first!"
Emperor Shunyao asked: "If Gusu City cannot be defended, what are your plans?"
"Gusu City cannot be defended. It does not have the conditions to defend..."
Zhao Guanren said: "You must be prepared. People in Jiangbei will move to the border one after another. During this period, you have to work hard to transport supplies and resettle the people before winter. I will evacuate after eliminating the first wave of corpses."
Gusu City, and then go to Mingyang Mountain to look for gold-plated stones!"
"Why do you have to go in person? Why don't you just send someone to go..."
"The secret must not be leaked. You will understand it when the time comes. I wish you a safe journey..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and waved, jumped on his horse and set off with the army. This place is four days away from Gusu City. It only takes one and a half days to ride. Zhao Guanren led the cavalry and carriages first, and the next evening
Just outside the city of Suzhou.
"Your Majesty! You are finally here, you really made us anxious to death..."
The guard general of Gusu City came out of the city with a large number of officials. Zhao Guanren rode straight to a slope, opened his telescope and looked in the direction of Gusu Station, and asked: "Are there any corpses gathering on the other side? Have they started yet?"
Mobilize people to evacuate?”
"Your Majesty! All the corpses on the other side suddenly jumped into the river. There were no large-scale gatherings anymore..."
The guard general rode over and said: "At first, about 50,000 corpse people occupied Gusu Station. We have never come into contact with corpse people, so we dare not open the city to fight rashly. However, the people along the coast began to evacuate a few days ago, but there are still
Many people are reluctant to leave their hometown, after all, it’s hard to leave your homeland!”
"You immediately send people to notify all counties and villages. If you don't evacuate within ten days, your home will become a cemetery..."
Zhao Guanren put away the telescope and said: "The main force of the zombies is expected to be more than five million, and they will sweep across the river within a month, and they have expert guidance behind them. They will definitely gather a wave of troops first, and then attack Gusu City with all their strength.
The number of troops will exceed ten million!"
"Ten million? Then how can we resist..."
A group of generals and officials were all stunned, but Zhao Guanren said: "There is no way to stop it! Only by retreating to Tiantong Pass can we resist. If Jiangnan Road is completely lost, let us collectively prepare for the funeral. The whole world will be completely
Fall!"
"..."
Everyone was dumbfounded, but Zhao Guanren said again: "We killed 300,000 corpses on the way here. Feng Lin's army is now rich in experience. You should immediately send people to learn from them. All militiamen have also been organized into regular armies. We are here."
To delay time for the people!"
"Understood!"
Everyone nodded solemnly, and Zhao Guanren rode towards Gusu City, followed by a large number of carriages coming out of the palace. However, there was no atmosphere of chaos in Gusu City. The people were still doing what they should do. It was obviously mobilization.
The work was not done properly.
"Oh~ I can finally sleep well tonight..."
Lu Datou jumped off the horse first. The cavalry team had arrived at a large palace, which was the former palace of the Yuan family. After the Yuan family brothers died in the battle, the groups of wives and concubines were not sent away, but they were deprived of their status and became civilians.
widow.
"Each of you go into the room to freshen up, and then go to the lobby to wait..."
Zhao Guanren dismounted his horse and walked straight into the courtyard. Naturally, Shen Qingwen, Qiu Ning and other women followed behind him, as well as a large number of concubines and maids. Anyway, not a single one who came out of the palace escaped, and there was also a mighty army.
The team is on its way.
"My mother-in-law! It feels like a lifetime ago and I'm finally back..."
Luo Tan and the other girls stretched themselves out and returned to their own rooms to freshen up. Zhao Guanren also went to take a simple bath. Only when he stood in front of the mirror did he notice that he had grown a beard and his hair had also grown.
He must be as tall as Chen Haonan.
"Tie a braid and wear a dragon robe..."
Zhao Guanren put on the red dragon robe with a smile and tied a ponytail casually before leaving the room. He happened to hear a baby crying. He followed the sound and walked into a small attic. He only saw the Queen Mother and the two sisters sitting in the room.
Inside, he was coaxing his little girl.
"Little Chiyan! Why are you crying? Let dad hug you..."
Zhao Guanren smoothly held the little girl in his arms. The little girl stared with big tearful eyes, suddenly burst into laughter, and stretched out her hand to wave in front of him. The Queen Mother was so angry that she rolled her eyes and said: "You little heartless thing, when you see
Your dad is so happy, he is really your dad’s little lover in his previous life!”
"No! I asked her to call her daddy in my last life, but now I am her daddy. Look how proud she is when she smiles..."
Zhao Guanren kissed Xiao Chiyan lovingly, sat on the chair and said, "Xiao Rui! You will take the lead in organizing it tomorrow. The enthronement ceremony will be held in three days. After that, you two sisters will remarry together and you will legitimately become members of my Zhao family!"
"Brother Xuan! Why don't you become the emperor? If you ascend the throne, who would dare to object..."
Princess Jing took the opportunity to sit next to him, but Zhao Guanren said: "I have too many messy things, how can I have free time to be the emperor? Besides, if the zombies can't be eliminated, what's the point of unifying the world? Anyway, you guys can enjoy peace and happiness
That’s it!”
"Master! I have found the person you want..."
Ouyang Jin suddenly stepped in. Zhao Guanren handed the child to Princess Jing and followed Ouyang Jin to the reception room in the front yard. He saw four middle-aged men standing cautiously, dressed like businessmen. Seeing him come in, he hurriedly
Kneel down and salute.
"Get up! Xiaojie, please introduce..."
Zhao Guanren sat down on the Grand Master's chair in the middle, and Ouyang Jin stepped forward and introduced: "These four are the leaders of the tomb robbers. They almost monopolize the business of underworld weapons in the north and south of the country. They have many disciples. They are known as the Four Buddhas in the world. It is just in time for us to escape.
One pot is ready!”
"What a coincidence, little old man! I remember you..."
Zhao Guanren pointed at a person and said with a smile: "When we were in Rongma County, you came up and said that the cliff in the southwest would collapse. After a few chisels, it did collapse. It seems that you have some real skills. Are you the legendary gold digger?"
Captain, or General Faqiu Zhonglang?"
"..."
The four of them looked at each other in bewilderment, and the little old man with gray hair knelt down and said: "Returning to the prince, I have never heard of touching Captain Jin. People in our line of work are afraid of attracting attention. How can we dare to claim to be an official?"
, the Four Buddhas are also talked about by people in the world, and they usually call us local masters!"
"Don't be nervous! I didn't ask you to come here to accuse me..."
Zhao Guanren raised his hand to ask them to stand up and said: "You must have heard of Mingyang Mountain behind the Big Python Mountain. There is an ancient tomb at the foot of Mingyang Mountain. In the tomb is a black gold-embellished meteorite that can make corpses
It will not rot for thousands of years, I need this stone as an antidote to corpse poison!"
"Fairy Tomb!"
The Four Buddhas looked at each other in shock, and the little old man quickly said: "Your Majesty! You don't know. There is indeed an ancient tomb at the foot of Mingyang Mountain. This is something that every native master knows, but don't mention the tomb in that place.
, even if you get close, it will be difficult to come out alive!"
Zhao Guanren said in surprise: "Why? Are there poisonous insects or mechanisms in the mountain?"
"It's haunted! It's said that anyone who goes in will be scared crazy..."
The little old man said nervously: "I'm afraid that tomb has existed for thousands of years. The people who thought of it are like crucian carp crossing the river, but I have never heard of anyone coming out alive, and neither the Uzbek tribe nor the barbarians dare to set foot in it. You
Just ask any local master and you will know!"
"Haunted? Is it scarier than King Yama on Jiangxin Island..."
Zhao Guanren looked at them sarcastically and said: "Grave robbing and digging up graves is a capital crime in any dynasty. I will not hold you accountable for your crimes. As long as you send four teams of elite disciples to help me find the tomb, I will reward each of you with five dollars."
How about I appoint you as an official even if I have ten thousand taels?"
"I am willing to do my best for the prince..."
Three of the four people immediately knelt down, with excitement on their faces. Only the little old man hesitated and said: "Your Majesty! You are so kind and righteous. We should also do our part for the common people in the world, but it is useless to come out alive if we lose our lives.
, do you have any tips on how to deal with ghosts?"
"Most ghosts and monsters are illusions, and Xuanqi is the best exorcism..."
Zhao Guanren stood up and said: "I have the Holy Maiden of the Wu tribe in my hands. After your people go there, you can ask them to provide help. As long as you find the entrance to the ancient tomb, come back and tell me. I don't need you to go down to the tomb. I will send more people at that time."
Professional people come over!”
"That's good, I will do my best..."
The little old man finally bowed and agreed, and after Zhao Guanren explained a few more things, they respectfully withdrew, but Ouyang Jin wondered: "Master! Why don't you let them go to the tomb? They are the most professional in tomb robbing."
!”
"They can't get down..."
Zhao Guanren put his hands behind his back and shook his head and said: "If they could go down to the tomb, the Fairy Tomb would not have existed for thousands of years. I have to go down to this tomb in person, and I also have to touch Captain Jin once!"
