The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 537 Observation 1
"My lord, where are we going?"

In the carriage, Zhou Lanzhi didn't know why.

"Go to the next village to have a look, and take a rest by the way!"

"The next village? There are villages outside the city?" Zhou Lanzhi asked in surprise.

Staying in the carriage for the past two days, she rarely looked out the window, and they took the official road, and there were not many villages on both sides, so Zhou Lanzhi didn't know the outside situation.

The closer to Yuanyang, the lower the density of zombies, and the conditions outside the city are naturally suitable for living.

Under conditions, Zhao Yanxun encouraged the common people to live outside the city, which would make it easier to work outside the city.

Yuanyang has been spread out in a large area. In several prefectures close to Yuanyang, because the zombie density has not decreased significantly, only the villages on the edge of the city are inhabited.

Hearing Zhou Lanzhi's surprise, Zhao Yanxun replied: "Of course there are villages outside the city!"

So Zhou Lanzhi came to the window, quietly raised a corner of the curtain, and pushed the small window open a crack.

The cold wind outside made Zhou Lanzhi shiver, but it also allowed her to see the situation in the distance.

Sure enough, about a mile ahead, there was a village surrounded by a tall fence. In a large open space in the village, a large number of people gathered at this moment, and they even cheered from time to time.

Turning around, Zhou Lanzhi closed the window and asked, "My lord, what are they doing?"

"It should be killing monsters!"

"Kill monsters? Just them?" Zhou Lanzhi couldn't believe it anymore.

She has personally experienced how ferocious zombies are.

As long as her elder brother put on the armor, he had to use a lot of strength to kill the monster with the help of a few strong men.

Zhou Lanzhi didn't think that a bunch of villagers in the mountains could compare to the fact that his elder brother had to go to such lengths to kill zombies after he was in charge.

Pulling Zhou Lanzhi into his arms, Zhao Yanxun moved his hands up and down and said: "My concubine, don't underestimate people in the world!"

The sound of "Love Concubine" made Zhou Lanzhi so happy, and made her not in the mood to care whether these people were killing zombies.

Soon, the carriage arrived outside the village, which also attracted the attention of the villagers.

The carriages carved with dragon ornaments were also sent to each other by the guards, which proved that the people in the carriages were noble and extremely noble.

Most of the villagers may have little knowledge, but anyone with a little brain can guess who is in the carriage.

Zhou Lin and Liu Chuanbao are two smart people, the former is a small official sent by Huiping County, and the latter is Gu Mengfan's small banner officer.

The two of them had only one mission in this village, which was to check the training of the villagers.

The people live outside the city. Although there are fences outside the village, they still have to prevent zombies from rushing in, so this requires them to have basic self-defense capabilities.

In this regard, the county government and the Qianhu Office stationed in Huiping taught the people out of the city how to cooperate with each other to deal with zombies, and asked them to practice more after they left the city.

In this regard, the government office and the Thousand Households Office will inspect from time to time.

Today, it happened to be the turn of this village to be inspected.

"The prince is here!" Liu Chuanbao reminded.

"I know!" Zhou Lin was a little nervous.

Liu Chuanbao whispered to his soldiers: "Two people go back to the city and tell Lord Qianhu that the prince is coming!"

Zhao Yanxun appeared here, and the two of them were not qualified to receive them at all, so they had to find someone above them as soon as possible.

Hearing Liu Chuanbao's arrangement, Zhou Lin on the side immediately said: "Do me a favor and go to the county government to pass a message too!"

"Did you hear me, hurry up... and ride back!"

"Yes!"

The two soldiers immediately turned around and left. This place is ten miles away from the county seat, and it would take more than 20 minutes to go back and forth on horseback.

Fortunately, both Zhou Lin and Liu Chuanbao came on horseback this time when they went out of the city, otherwise they would not know how long they would have to walk on their legs.

I only heard Zhou Lin shouting: "Stop...all stop...the prince is here!"

Everyone was wondering, when they heard this shout, they started discussing one after another, their expressions couldn't hide their excitement.

Of course, some people doubted and asked: "Lord Zhou, don't coax us... is it really the prince who is here?"

Zhou Lin asked seriously, "Is this a joke with you?"

Everyone thought it was true, no one dared to make fun of Zhao Yanxun.

So the crowd immediately boiled, and everyone came to the gate of the village one after another, looking forward to the stopped carriage.

"Don't be dazed, open the door quickly..." Zhou Lin shouted.

The people standing at the door woke up and hurried forward to open the door.

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun was seen walking out of the carriage, followed by Zhou Lanzhi who was fully dressed and in a cloak.

Zhao Yanxun asked her if she would get out of the car to have a look, but he didn't expect that Zhou Lanzhi would really follow, but he had already asked her, so he could only let Zhou Lanzhi come along.

The whole person is covered in a cloak, and Zhou Lanzhi is also covered with a veil, which can't be called "showing his face".

"Kowtow to the prince, long live the prince!"

The common people knelt down on both sides of the road one after another, allowing Zhao Yanxun to pass unimpeded.

"Chen Huiping county clerk, see Your Highness!"

"Sun Chuanbao, my minister, Gu Mengwei, Xiao Banner Officer, see the prince!"

In the middle of the road, the two of Zhou and Lin paid homage and acted as temporary receptionists.

Surrounded by the guards, Zhao Yanxun passed Zhou Lin and came to the place where he had practiced just now.

I saw a zombie tied around his waist by a thick rope, and the other end of the rope was tied to a big tree.

The middle of the rope is about two feet long, which means that the zombie's movement distance is based on the big tree as Yuan County, and the radius is two feet.

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun took a step and walked slowly to the zombie, only two meters away from it.

Zhou Lanzhi originally followed Zhao Yanxun closely, but she was not so bold, and she just stood far away at the moment.

Only Chen Yuhe and two guards followed Zhao Yanxun.

The zombie brandished its minions and let out a roar, but Zhao Yanxun was unmoved.

Turning his head slightly, Zhao Yanxun said to the people behind him: "It's cold on the ground, everyone is welcome!"

The common people looked at each other in blank dismay, some of them didn't understand the meaning of exempting them from courtesy, and some of them dared not move even if others didn't move them.

As for Zhou Lin and the others, because they were too nervous, their brains reacted a bit slower.

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun had already turned around, and heard Chen Yuhe shout: "My lord, let you all get up!"

Only then did everyone get up one after another, some looked around curiously, some were excited, and some were uneasy.

"You two come over and talk back!"

Every word of Zhao Yanxun is an imperial decree in Longyou.

So after hearing this, Zhou and Lin came to Zhao Yanxun cautiously, and stopped at a distance of one foot.

Turning around, Zhao Yanxun asked knowingly, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Lin and Zhou Lin looked at each other, and then heard Zhou Lin answer: "Reporting to Your Highness, according to the request of the Chief Secretary, all the people living outside the city must have the ability to guard against monsters!"

"I am waiting here today to check whether the people here have seriously practiced the military formation taught by the guard!"

Zhao Yanxun then asked: "Was the military formation taught by Wei? What kind of military formation is he teaching?"

This question can only be answered by Sun Chuanbao, and he replied cautiously: "Report to the prince, what you teach is the formation of ten men!"

The so-called ten-man formation is actually the mandarin duck formation. It was promoted in the military formation last year, and it can be said to be all the rage.

"How are they practicing?"

It is not easy to answer this question, Sun Chuanbao thought for a while, and said: "I have roughly mastered it!"

"Probably mastered?"

Hearing Zhao Yanxun's rhetorical question, Sun Chuanbao's heart skipped a beat, fearing that he might have said something wrong.

"You don't believe what you say, but I want to see it with my own eyes!"
