Chapter 1029: Evil Intentions
The arrival of the victims was somewhat strange.
Although many disaster victims left their homes in the past two days, although they looked bad, they were not very anxious or desperate. They even discussed and thought about going to their relatives and friends for help, or renting a place to stay somewhere.
If all else fails, they can ask the government to find a solution for them, but the entry into the city is considered normal and it seems to be relatively peaceful.
When he was interrogated when entering the city, he answered honestly, and even if there were a few more explosive ones, they were all to the point.
For example, they would ask the government if there is any way to help them, where in the city they can stay, whether there are any noble people willing to give them porridge, etc.
These are real problems, and they are also what they care about most if they want to survive.
But the victims who are pouring in now are not very normal.
Because some of them were crying, some were making noise, and some were shouting.
Many people simply ignored what the guards said and shouted at the top of their lungs, "We want to enter the city! Enter the city!"
"We need to eat, we're starving!"
"Where's the doctor? Hurry up and ask the doctor to come and pick us up. We are in pain!"
Someone else shouted, "Let's go stay at the Qiu Mansion! Guys, I heard the Qiu Mansion is very big! And their stored food will be enough to feed so many of us!"
"Go to Qiu's house!"
"General Qiu is here to protect us civilians. Now it's time for them to help us!"
"Yes, yes, we are all citizens of the Great Zhou. General Qiu cannot ignore us!"
"I heard that the military camp has also taken in a group of disaster victims. We are not going to the military camp, we are going to enter the city! The government must arrange a house for us!"
In addition to those who were screaming at the top of their lungs, there were also some who were very ill.
The officers did not dare to say that they were faking illness.
Because it's obvious that these people are really sick.
Amid the crowd of disaster victims, there was a lot of coughing, which made even those who were not sick feel itchy in their throats and want to start coughing.
Lord Zong also brought his men here and ran into General Qiu head-on.
"General Qiu, why did you return to the city?"
When Lord Zong saw General Qiu, his expression changed.
General Qiu was also shocked when he saw his reaction. Could it be that something had happened and he shouldn't be here?
But before he could ask, a young general rode up on horseback, almost ignoring the victims, and shouted, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The horses were running very fast, and the victims knew how serious it was, so they dodged in a hurry.
General Qiu looked over and saw the person coming. His heart sank and he immediately went to meet him.
Lord Zong quickly followed, lowering his voice.
"General! I have received a secret letter that a group of soldiers are going to launch a surprise attack on Yulan Pass!"
Yulan Pass is the pass of their Subei. Only after entering Yulan Pass can you reach Subei.
But Yulan Pass is very small, with only about a thousand civilians and six hundred soldiers guarding the city.
Because the Subei Camp is very close to Yulan Pass, once anything happens, the soldiers of the camp can rush there immediately, so the Subei Camp is actually guarding Yulan Pass.
Although Yulan Pass is small, foreign enemies dare not invade easily. In the past, there were some foreign races that had a hard time surviving and would come to test it from time to time, just to steal some supplies and just want to survive.
General Qiu's men had fought off those attacks and ambushes many times, but they didn't take them seriously.
But now we are talking about the hidden soldiers!
Moreover, Lord Zong had already learned the news, but he hadn’t!
Although General Qiu knew that the young general riding over here must have come to report this matter to him, he was still a step too slow!
Besides, where did Lord Zong get the news?
"General, I will leave the victims here to you," Lord Zong said again.
Lord Zong also knew that this matter was of great importance, and General Qiu certainly could not take care of the victims now.
Seeing General Qiu riding out of the city immediately after hearing the young general's words, Lord Zong sighed deeply.
His master stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, some of these victims must have come here to target General Qiu. Now that the general is gone, what should we do?"
They're not stupid.
Just now, I heard that many of the victims were talking about the Qiu Mansion, and I knew that these victims had ulterior motives.
Perhaps, not all those mixed in there are disaster victims.
However, the victims were instigated by them and might really head towards the Qiu Mansion.
"How should we deal with it?" Lord Zong asked back, and said in a cold voice, "That person lives in the Qiu Mansion. If the victims really rush to the Qiu Mansion and bump into that person, then neither you nor I can stay in Subei anymore."
The master's heart moved. "But doesn't the master also want to leave Subei?"
After all, the situation in Subei is too complicated.
If you are not careful, you will be dragged into the abyss and there will be no way out.
"I do want to leave, but not in this way. If something happens to that person, we will not only leave, but also lose our heads."
The emperor has always been very fond of this younger brother.
"Then according to your opinion, does this matter have anything to do with the third...?" the lawyer asked again.
"Master, you are the master, you should analyze the situation for me. Why do you keep asking me why?"
Lord Zong retorted to him in an unpleasant tone, then led his men to the city wall, stood on it, and looked down at the victims.
There must be hundreds of people here.
Where did it come from suddenly?
Although Lord Zong knew that the number of people affected by the disaster was far more than a few hundred, he did not expect them to all flock to Subei so quickly.
Honest people are all home-loving. Even if they suffer a disaster, unless they really reach the last step or are in desperate situation, they will still guard their homes and hold on until they can no longer hold on, and then leave.
According to his previous investigation and record, the victims he had estimated would have to hold out for another ten days or so.
Ten days or so later, there may be a major outbreak of disaster victims.
"Fellow villagers! I am Zong Zhihong, the prefect of Zong Subei!"
Master Zong opened his voice and shouted loudly. We have to give the official language a good beating to see if we can suppress them first.
On Zongyun Mountain, a woman with blood all over her face and wounds all over her body was soaking in a hot spring, holding a small white jade bead in her hand, her eyes full of hatred.
"Brother, just wait, I will definitely save you."
"You and I have been brothers and sisters for decades. We have depended on each other and learned the art of immortality together. Now that we have taken a step towards becoming immortals, I will never accept failure."
"Lu Zhaoling's Five Thunder Curse is very powerful, but she doesn't know that you have left one soul here."
Senior brother has always been suspicious. She didn’t take it seriously before, but now it seems that she was too arrogant before.
"As long as we find Lu Ming again, his body will definitely be able to restore your soul."
"I won't let Lu Zhaoling off easily now. I have cast the Four Plagues Curse on a group of disaster victims. If we let them into the city, they will soon infect half of the city's residents."
