The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 368 Wolf Shadow
Here Lin Quan raised his eyebrows, Zhao Yanxun in Yongfu Palace was already having lunch with his two wives and concubines.

The concubine is pregnant, and her dietary standard is the highest in the palace, which is even better than Jinshen Palace.

In order to entertain Zhao Yanxun at noon, two extra dishes were added.

There are chicken, duck, fish, pork, plus three vegetarian dishes, a total of eight dishes and one soup.

And there are only three people who are eligible to serve the table, so there are too many dishes to finish, and all will be distributed to the maids below.

But don't think it's embarrassing to eat leftovers, for the maids below, this is their welfare in Yongfu Palace.

Hou Shiyun sat next to Zhao Yanxun, serving him food with great care, and of course she did not forget Xue Baojun.

The three of them were eating, when the privy envoy Chen Anming appeared outside the Jinshen Hall.

He was holding a report in his hand, which had just been delivered from outside the city. The matter reported in it was too urgent, so Chen Anming immediately came to Jinshen Hall to report.

Zhao Yanxun was not there, so he could only forward the report to Huo An, and asked him to present it to Zhao Yanxun on his behalf.

Huo An did this job, so he went to the inner house immediately after he got the report, while Chen Anming waited in Jinshen Hall.

Zhao Yanxun was chatting and laughing with Xue Baojun when a maid asked Huo An to see him.

"Let him in!"

After finishing the order, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that something big happened at this time?"

After a few breaths, Huo An walked into the hall.

Coming behind Zhao Yanxun, Huo An lowered his voice and said: "My lord, the military situation sent by the Privy Council!"

Under the gaze of the two concubines, Zhao Yanxun took the report from Huo An, opened it and read it carefully.

Then, his expression changed from relaxed to serious.

And as his expression changed, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became solemn, and everyone dared not speak out.

Putting away the report and handing it to Huo An, Zhao Yanxun got up from the stool and said slowly: "My concubine, I have to deal with it alone, you can eat first!"

Seeing Zhao Yanxun's solemn expression, Xue Baoyun and Xue Baoyun didn't think too much about it, but Hou Shiyun sent Zhao Yanxun out of the hall.

After walking out of the palace gate, Zhao Yanxun asked, "Where is Chen Anming?"

"Go back to the prince, it's in Jinshen Palace!"

Along the way, Zhao Yanxun met Chen Anming who was waiting in the west side hall.

"Kowtow to Your Highness!"

"Mianli, where is the person Xu Yu sent back now?"

"Your Highness, it's just outside the palace gate."

So Zhao Yanxun said to Huo An: "Send him in!"

To understand the real situation, asking Chen Anming, the middleman, is definitely not as good as asking the person involved.

After a while, a guard was brought into the hall, and he knelt down in front of Zhao Yanxun in fear.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"My lord, yesterday some farming people were scratched. The scars and humanoid monsters grabbed the alley. Xu Baihu deduced that it was a wild beast, so he asked his brothers to search around, but they couldn't find it all afternoon!"

"But I got up early this morning and lived in a farmer's house in the far north. All 15 people were scratched and turned into monsters..."

"Xu Baihu felt that the matter was serious, so he sent the young man back to Yuanyang to report!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun asked: "What kind of beast is it, do you have any clues?"

"This...Xu Baihu guessed it might be a wolf, but there is no sign of a wolf!"

"Yesterday plus today, how many people died in total?" Zhao Yanxun asked sullenly.

"Reporting to the prince, there are... 22 people in total!"

The spring plowing has been going on until now, and the total number of people who died in various places is only more than 80 people.

22 people died at one time in one place, which is already a very serious accident.

Xu Yu is a cautious person, he is not sure about the settlement, Zhao Yanxun has to go and ask in person.

"Huo An, ask Zhang Meng to bring ten guards in front of the palace, and go to Chengde with me!"

The place where the accident happened is in the most remote Chengde County.

"As ordered!"

"There are people, call the two Chang Shi and Guan Hetai over, I have something to tell you!

Every time he went out, Zhao Yanxun would meet with four ministers, and he could feel at ease after arranging some things.

………………

To the south of Chengde County, there is a large area of ​​good land, so a large number of people gathered here to cultivate and develop these tens of thousands of acres of good land.

The tens of thousands of acres of good land here are cultivated by the people from the west to the east. As long as they reach the easternmost mountain range, the work here will be over.

Originally, the field should be full of work, but at this moment, except for the patrolling soldiers, everyone else is hiding in their respective stations.

Yesterday and today, more than 20 people died in a row. Neither the small officials in charge of the brigade nor the officers in charge of security dared to let the people go out to work.

If they died again, they would all be more guilty.

At this moment, Xu Yu was guarding a small courtyard where there were more than 20 corpses.

Although the small courtyard is small, it is surrounded by a wooden fence thick enough to guard against zombies.

The surrounding zombies have been cleaned up in the past few months, so the density is not very high, and three or five such fences can prevent them.

The fence is only the first line of defense. The combination of the fence and the door of the room where you live is safe.

But last night, all the 15 people living here turned into zombies.

After these people turned into zombies, they all rushed out of the small courtyard, so the courtyard was so badly damaged that it was impossible to guess what happened last night.

When I got up early this morning, I first found that the small courtyard was empty, and then someone discovered that among the beheaded zombies were people who should have lived in this small courtyard.

In the end, among the zombies killed in the morning, the 15 people who disappeared in the yard were found, and the corpses were placed here alone.

The heads of these corpses were all chopped off, and together with the civilians who died yesterday, a total of 22 corpses were put together.

It was getting dark now, and Xu Yu felt a little restless. Tonight would be a sleepless night for him.

According to his speculation, if it is really a mutated wolf, then it is very likely that these beasts will come back tonight.

Wolves are territorial, and no one has cultivated this piece of land for a year, so it is likely that this beast has taken it as its territory.

For those who broke into its territory, the wolves would naturally not let them go.

The problem now is that even if Xu Yu wants to remove everyone, it has become an unrealistic idea.

The subordinates he led were in charge of three teams of guards of nearly a thousand people, and it was impossible to escort everyone to leave safely.

The immediate plan is to let everyone hide in the house, carefully guarding against possible dangers.

Just as Xu Yu was thinking, he heard a voice behind him saying: "My lord, Mantou!"

It was getting dark now, and it was time for dinner.

But looking at the corpses in front of him, how could Xu Yu have an appetite, but he still took the steamed buns.

After all, you still have to eat, otherwise it will be more difficult to have the physical strength to deal with the danger.

But when Xu Yu didn't take a few bites, the sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and it was a series of hoofbeats.

The guard guarding the gate of the courtyard said happily: "Master Baihu, it is the prince who has come!"
