The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 264
On September 21, in the north of Yuanyang, on the south bank of the Bahe River, a large army gathered.

A large number of soldiers are building a pontoon bridge, and the palace's army is going north, so it is necessary to build a pontoon bridge.

Although water transportation is trouble-free, it is basically countercurrent to the north, and the efficiency is really not high.

Wang Cheng, who was stripped of his position as a thousand households, was standing by the river at this moment, personally dispatching his subordinates to work.

Although he was dismissed from office, Zhao Yanxun still let him take charge of the Qianhu Office, and the following hundred households naturally greeted him honestly.

At this moment, Wang Cheng worked extraordinarily hard, not only commanding people to build the pontoon bridge, but also asking people to search for ships along the two banks. Of course, he would repeatedly emphasize safety.

After working for a while, Wang Cheng felt his mouth was dry, so he took off the water bottle from his waist, and poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth.

"Master Wang, look at this posture... I'm afraid the pontoon bridge will be built within today!"

Putting down the kettle and looking at the person behind him, Wang Cheng suddenly laughed.

"Who am I? It's Cui Qianhu!"

Wang Cheng said "Cui Qianhu", which scared Cui Xing'an.

"Lord Wang, a lowly position cannot afford to be a minister of a thousand households!"

Hearing this, Wang Cheng couldn't help laughing and said: "According to what you say, Wang can't stand you calling yourself an inferior job!"

For a moment, both of them laughed.

"My lord Wang is deeply relied on by the prince, and sooner or later he will be a thousand households. I should call myself a lowly position!"

Everyone likes to hear good things, and Wang Cheng is no exception, and what he wants to see most now is that his dismissal is ignored.

At this moment, Cui Xing'an went on to say: "Master Wang, if you don't have enough manpower, you can call in people from humble ranks to help!"

"The earlier the pontoon bridge is built, the prince will be happier!"

Wang Cheng nodded and said with emotion: "You are right, everything will be good for the prince to be happy!"

"But for today's matter, I'll do it myself. You have to cross the river to Andu County, and you will be busy then!"

Although this is what he said, Wang Cheng's real purpose was not to give Cui Xing'an the credit for building the bridge.

Cui Xing'an was stunned for a moment, and the two had nothing to say for a while.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Wang Cheng said: "I don't know what's going on with the prince now, and whether we have found any clues to the murderer!"

"In order to avenge the ten brothers who died, the prince has issued an edict to the whole army, requesting all the ministries to find the bandits and destroy them..."

Speaking of this, Cui Xing'an couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Now that the prince has personally inspected the scene, it can be seen that he loves ordinary soldiers. How can we not let the brothers below die!"

"That's right, my lord is benevolent, those of us who are subordinates should do our best to share the worries of the lord!"

Speaking of this, Wang Cheng looked towards the south of Bahe River, His Royal Highness King Yong may have arrived.

Wang Cheng's guess was right, Zhao Yanxun's frame, under the guard of Dianqianwei, had already arrived at Qin Hao's garrison, but it was already in ruins.

Here, nearly a hundred soldiers have surrounded the place, and everyone stands solemnly.

Reining in the reins, Zhao Yanxun looked forward, and the ruins in front of him made him angry.

One turned over and got off the horse, Lin Dagui immediately stepped forward to take the reins, and then handed it over to the guards beside him.

Today Zhao Yanxun is wearing armor and a sword on his waist, but he is not wearing a helmet, he doesn't like wearing that thing at all.

Stepping towards the ruins, Zhao Yanxun walked into the gate, and there were ten corpses neatly placed inside, covered with the mats they used during their lifetime.

On the side were the corpses of several thieves, covering their faces with rags.

Standing still on the steps, looking at the corpse in front of him, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "You died fighting for the palace, even though you die, you are honored, even though you die, you are still alive, this king specially grants you to return to the court of the emperor of heaven, so that you can enjoy peace and happiness!"

Zhao Yan's voice reached the ears of all the soldiers around him. These words were meant for living people.

So at this moment, in the hearts of all the soldiers, they feel that death in battle is an honor, so it is not so terrible.

"He Sidao..."

Following Zhao Yanxun's call, He Sidao in a Taoist robe ran in from outside, followed by two little Taoist boys.

"What are your orders from the lord?"

He Sidao was completely unwilling to go out of the city to do things, but he had to obey King Yong's orders, and he had to show extra willingness.

Standing behind Zhao Yanxun at this moment, He Sidao was extremely respectful, afraid that he might not have done something well, and he respected and feared Zhao Yanxun.

"This method will save them, this king will also sense the energy of heaven and earth, and search for traces of the thieves!"

The word heaven, earth and air mechanism was an explanation that He Sidao thought up for Zhao Yanxun after spending half an hour.

In this way, when Zhao Yanxun turned on the system perception, he had a reasonable explanation, which further proved the sanctity of his connection with God.

Of course, He Sidao would not know the inside story, but he believed more than others that Zhao Yanxun was a person favored by heaven.

After all, he knew that he was just pretending to be a ghost in essence, and it was Zhao Yanxun who really displayed his supernatural power.

Afterwards, with the assistance of two Taoist boys, He Sidao quickly set up a simple platform, and then began his performance.

After jumping up and down, He Sidao sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and said, "Please open your eyes, my lord!"

After saying this, He Sidao continued to mutter words, this is the Sutra that he has fully mastered.

Others couldn't understand the Chaodu Sutra, but he asked Zhao Yanxun to open his eyes, and everyone was very curious about it.

Zhao Yanxun has supernatural powers, and no one will question this, but they are still very excited to witness it with their own eyes.

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun closed his eyes slightly, pretending to be in touch with the sky, but actually quietly activated the system perception.

Once the system perception is turned on, all the situations within a radius of 50 meters are presented, which is a very wonderful feeling.

Under the system's perception, Zhao Yanxun quickly locked in dozens of different flavors.

That's right, the first thing he noticed was the smell.

Different from the smell of the soldiers of the palace, those people were obviously more foul-smelling.

This is actually very normal, and only under the strict order of the palace, the soldiers will keep as clean as possible.

As for the thieves scattered in the mountains, they were in short supply in all aspects, so they could only care about their own smell.

The soldiers were killed yesterday, and Zhao Yanxun arrived here early this morning. The only residual smell in the air was detected by the powerful system perception ability.

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun was somewhat complacent. Even a well-trained police dog might not have his abilities.

But he thought about it again, he was better than a dog, and he didn't seem to have anything to be proud of.

Not much gossip, Zhao Yanxun used the system perception to firmly lock the smell, and then walked out of the gate.

The smell outside was messy, and it was possible to guess the direction of the fight at that time, but in the end it was concentrated to the east.

This shows that the thief is going east.

Seeing the continuous loud voice from the east, Zhao Yanxun said coldly: "No matter how deep you hide, this king will find you out!"

Immediately, he got on his horse and led the thirty guards in the front of the hall, and rode straight to the east.

Outside the gate, Cheng Chun, a small flag officer who stood upright, said, "My lord opened his eyes, have you seen the thief?"

Niu Shangzhong nodded, and replied: "It seems so, except in the mountains... other places can't hide people!"

At this moment, Cheng Chun lowered his voice and said, "My lord said, Qin Hao is still alive, is it true or not?"

Niu Shangzhong glared at him, and then said: "How can there be a lie in what the prince said?"
