Chapter 94: Centrifugal
Since then, Song Zhuang has been a little alienated from them, and he doesn't like to approach them as usual.Mo Wanqing didn't respond to this, and he would teach as usual when he came to ask for advice. As for the sour words he had to say, he didn't care at all.
He looked down on the elders who said these accusations and insults all day long, and the good impression he had of him had faded a lot.Gradually, he became more and more distant from Song Zhuang, but this guy is also a strange thing. Fang Fo couldn't see their indifference and would still come to them when he was free.
The state of ignoring and not responding did not come to an end until they arrived at Banyueguan, the destination.
The name Banyueguan sounds strange at first. Before it, there was a well-established name called Xijingguan, but people here prefer to call it Banyueguan.That's because more than 20 years ago, a heroic general of the Chinese Dynasty led his soldiers to fight hard for half a month before defending this place.
At that time, even the officials here gave up defending and arranged for the evacuation of the people, but the general was still unwilling to give up, and finally defended the place with his life.But it is said that the unnamed general also died in the battle, and not even a complete body could be found.The people were in great grief, and because they couldn't name it after the general, they called it Banyue Pass to comfort them.
The current Banyue Pass is also riddled with holes and devastated, and the exhausted soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield.
That's right, this place has just gone through a hard battle, and the defenders lost most of the city and finally managed to hold the pass, but everyone knows that if the barbarians come again at this time, they will face the tragic result of losing their defense.
When the army led by Zou Jinchu came here, their first reaction was not to come for reinforcements, but to think that the enemy army was attacking again, so they took up their weapons and nervously pointed outside.
Seeing the defenders who were facing the enemy and the crumbling city, Zou Jinchu only felt regretful. If they had come earlier, wouldn't they have suffered so many casualties?Fortunately, there is still time!
The process of verifying their identity is relatively long, and they are as frightened as they are, and they don't want to believe the person they see even if they are dressed in heavenly servants, and their vigilance is only high.
The official in charge of guarding the city was named Ji Lanfeng, and he was not very old, in his twenties or thirties.He is a second-ranked Jinshi from the imperial examination. Although he is a literati, he is not cowardly at all. He is also the one who gave the order to defend the city.
After chatting with Zou Jinchu and the others for a long time, this unspeakably tired young man believed their identities and let them go into the city.After entering the city, I found that many people still looked at them with hostility and suspicion, and I couldn't help being very puzzled.
"This is……"
"Ah, it's Lan Feng's omission. They are indeed reinforcements sent by the imperial court, and they will never make a mistake this time!"
It took a long time before they heard sparse whispers. After hearing Ji Lanfeng's words, their guards were lowered a little, but they hadn't completely dissipated.This weird situation combined with what Ji Lanfeng said just now, Zou Jinchu quickly came to the conclusion that someone had pretended to be the imperial army.
Seeing that Ji Lanfeng didn't want to say more here, they didn't ask any more, they just waited for the right opportunity to ask again.
He led them all the way to his mansion. At this time, Ji's mansion was already dilapidated, the metal knocker on the gate was gone, and there were only two abrupt holes left.When they opened the door, they were stunned by the wounded all over the floor. From a rough look, there were at least fifty people in this small yard, all curled up on the ground in pain, some with injuries, and some with wounds. No.
For these wounded, Ji Lanfeng tried his best, but he could only take care of them.The few doctors in the pass fled and died, and now there is only one old old doctor, but he is too old, and he is powerless to treat patients.
In desperation, Ji Lanfeng could only ask people to build a simple shed in his yard, so that they would at least have a rain-proof place to recuperate.Yes, there are no intact houses here anymore, and only his Ji mansion is relatively strong to survive until now.
"As you can see, this place is almost in ruins. In fact, the actual situation is worse than what you see. Come with me."
Let them suppress the thoughts in their hearts first, and get a good understanding of the real situation here.
Seeing these tragic situations, Mo Wanqing actually felt that this was already under good control. If he hadn't made a mistake in his judgment, there were people who were lying on the ground just now who had early symptoms of infection... and those who were infected could be brought back to life. Staying in his own yard, I don't know whether to say he is kind, or ignorant so he is fearless.
Sure enough, when Ji Lanfeng reported the situation here, he focused on the red-clothed demon and his undead corps.
"I've never seen such a strange person, such a strange thing. Every time the man in red appears, he will take away countless people or soldiers, but anyone who is injured by the regiment he leads cannot get rid of the result of being controlled!"
Ji Lanfeng choked up and told the story one by one, and she burst into tears when it came to grief and indignation.They are all people under his jurisdiction, and many of them even he can name them, but in the end they become walking dead for no apparent reason, can he not feel sad?What happened now, he couldn't help trembling when he saw the person in red!
"Can you describe in detail what those 'people' look like?" Hearing the familiar news that he had been looking for for a long time, he didn't feel any joy, only endless sadness and regret.Just because it was a step late...
Ji Lanfeng was taken aback for a moment, does this young man know the way to crack it?Thinking of this possibility, he quickly said all the characteristics he could think of.What "stiff and dull", "looks like an ordinary person", "no mind", "invulnerability" and the most important red line behind the ear were also recalled by him.
That's right, it's them, familiar opponents.
Mo Wanqing thanked this honest man, and said to the hopeful man, "I'm sorry, I do know what they are and how to kill them, but those who have been infected... can't survive .”
Hearing the ecstasy before, he was confused by the last sentence "I can't survive", "I can't..."
After finally bumping into an expert who knew about this stuff, he was thrown a bucket of cold water. He originally thought that they would return to their normal appearance and return to their normal lives.
"Also, I suggest that you deal with those outside as soon as possible, otherwise it will only increase the number of infected people." This is his suggestion and pure advice, and he does not insist on whether to follow this.
"How can this happen!" Mr. Ji, who has always loved the people like a child, obviously couldn't accept this possibility at all, and killed all the infected people?Just kidding, doesn't this mean that anyone who comes into contact with that legion in the future will only have a dead end!What about those who are still conscious, what if they can survive?
These are his views, and he does not want to give up on the people until the last moment.Stubbornness has its benefits. Without this kind of stubbornness, this place might have been captured long ago.
At this time, Zou Jinchu, who had heard the matter completely, almost understood everything, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became. This can no longer be solved by winning the battle alone, and he has to deal with the man in red at the same time.
Besides, for some reason, he subconsciously felt that Wan Qing had something to say, "Wan Qing, are you sure they didn't save them?"
Mo Wanqing paused for a moment, then avoided his eyes and said, "There is no help."
Zou Jinchu said "Oh", and said to Ji Lanfeng who was still a little excited: "You can keep them if you want, but they can't be put together with normal people. They must be isolated and they will not be released easily. .Otherwise, you will be held accountable for what they committed.”
This is a half-safe compromise, and the most suitable one he can think of at the moment.Offending Ji Lanfeng when he came to Banyue Pass for the first time is not only not conducive to the harmony of the team, but also likely to increase unknown obstacles, and the rest can only be left to chance.
Mo Wanqing obviously did not approve of this approach, but seeing Ji Lanfeng's face, he could only swallow his words first.
"Also, when you first entered the city gate, what's the meaning of what Mr. Ji said?" It's Zou Jinchu's style to understand all of them when in doubt.This habit can also bring him many unexpected gains.
Ji Lanfeng was a little stunned, but soon remembered what happened, and that made his heart ache even more.
"This happened the day before yesterday. At that time, a group of troops came claiming to be reinforcements sent by the imperial court. I checked the information and let them in. It turned out that they were barbarians and those from the undead army in disguise! In the meantime, the place destroyed by them was almost broken, if the man in red hadn't ordered to retreat suddenly at the last moment, we wouldn't have survived until now..."
"What! There is such a thing! There must be more than a little tricky in it, why do fake people know our itinerary, and can forge the information so realistically!"
It feels okay to discover that there are spies in the army before the war has started.Zou Jinchu didn't show anything on his face for the time being, but he had already started thinking about countermeasures in his heart.
Mo Wanqing patted him on the shoulder, this guy is pitiful enough, he has been worrying about this group of soldiers all the way, and he knew that there were spies before they went to battle and killed the enemy when they arrived at the battlefield, this blow is enough .
"It's no wonder that you dared to let us in just now." This is completely Mo Wanqing's emotion. He doesn't fully understand this Ji Lanfeng. He is smart and straightforward. Of course, he is courageous. I am very impressed.Been deceived by the big bad wolf once and still believed them so much, knowing that there was a great risk but still protecting the group of infected people.
But he said with a wry smile: "Young master, don't make fun of me. I just think that since those people left, they would not come back so soon, and they would come back in the same way. Besides, there is nothing left here. A It's just an empty shell and some remnants."
What he said was reasonable, so why should he be afraid of it?
"Anyway, I, Ji, ask myself that I am worthy of the sky, my Majesty, and myself."
This sudden righteous confession only made people feel sad, it was really not easy for Mr. Ji.Zou Jinchu has already planned to write all these in the book, especially the heroic deeds of Mr. Ji.
