The old housekeeper ordered his men to take the living ones away for strict interrogation, and to carry away the dead ones to be fed to the dogs.

They said they were feeding the dogs, but in fact they were using corpse-dissolving water. The situation is not right at this moment, and it is not realistic to transport the corpse out of the city, so it is better to just deal with it directly.

Zhu Lai Xi didn't know. When he heard that he was dragged away to be fed to dogs, he was very scared. Zhu Lai Xi didn't want to become dog food after his death one day.

Before leaving, the old housekeeper glanced in the direction of Zhu Lai Xi, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled. Haha, these little fish can be quite noisy.

The old butler's good mood turned sour again when he thought about someone wanting to kill him.

Not only was there much trouble in the capital that night, but crimes occurred in many places. In the Yan territory occupied by the Dongqing Kingdom, many wealthy families were murdered by bandits.

All the money and food in the house were stolen.

As soon as the sun rose, the news spread like wildfire, people were in a panic, and chaos occurred in the occupied lands.

On the way north, General Han also destroyed some noble families. General Han's methods were even more brutal than those of the Dongqing army.

If they come to ask for food during the day, they will be content to leave if you give them food, but if they don't, they will kill the whole family at night.

As for those rumors, General Han didn't care at all. General Han thought very simply that after he conquered the world, those rumors would naturally disappear.

Moreover, history books are written by the victors, so it is up to them to decide how the history books are written.

On the route of the army led by Lord Yun, the Shangyin County government office was destroyed and robbed overnight.

The heads of the bullies who occupied the well water were cut off and hung in a row on a wooden rack next to the well.

Normally, the people of Shangyin County would be terrified, but the fact was otherwise. When the people of Shangyin County saw this scene, they applauded.

Because they found that not only was the bully who occupied the well water dead, but their family also received a bag of food.

A bag of grain is not much, only about 20 to 30 kilograms, but for the people it is life-saving food.

The people, who were originally at the end of their rope, could survive for a while after receiving these 20 or 30 kilograms of food.

Maybe they can hold on until a turning point appears, and then they will have hope of survival.

When Lord Yun led his army to Shangyin County, no one in the county mentioned the county magistrate, and when asked, they found out that the county magistrate had run away with his family.

There are no officials in Shangyin County.

If Lord Yun had not received the news from his subordinates, he would probably have believed what the people said.

This also shows how unpopular the county magistrate was, and how much the people loved the kind-hearted people who killed the county magistrate and the bully.

Yes, in the hearts of the people, those unknown people are kind-hearted people who give them hope to survive.

Lord Yun went to see the well with water. The well was very deep and had existed for many years. According to the old people in the city, no matter how dry the weather was, this well had never dried up.

This is also the reason why the people of Shangyin County are unwilling to flee famine. In fact, there may not be water to drink if they flee, but there will definitely be water to drink if they stay.

Although it’s not much, it can save your life.

But they didn't expect that the magistrate of Shangyin County was a dishonest person and condoned the bully's crimes.

If not for this, more people could survive in Shangyin County.

Lord Yun agreed with the old man's opinion, so he invited the county's respected elders to

Let them form a force to jointly manage this well.

We must ensure that people have access to water. As for buying water with money, that is absolutely not allowed.

This well belongs to everyone and no one can occupy it privately. If someone has selfish thoughts and the news reaches the military camp, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Knowing that Lord Yun was the new commander-in-chief of the garrison, everyone in Shangyin County readily agreed and dared not say a word.

Some smart ones even suspected that the bloodbath last night was arranged by this smiling Lord Yun.

In this case, I would never dare to disobey Lord Yun’s orders.

After dealing with the affairs of Shangyin County, Lord Yun did not take his soldiers to worry about the people, but instead took his soldiers to find a high ground and set up camp.

We are very careful in setting up camp today. Judging from the content of the letter, it will rain today. We don’t know when it will rain, but it is always better to take precautions in advance.

Yunmeng did not sleep until lunch time today. She woke up at noon.

After getting up and eating, she went back to her room alone, left an order not to be disturbed, and quietly left the Prince Qi's Mansion.

Yunmeng put on an invisibility talisman and jumped off the city wall, then used a lightness talisman to float across the moat. After landing, he immediately ran towards the distant mountains and forests.

It is inconvenient to fly with a sword in broad daylight, so Yunmeng has to go into the mountains to find an empty place and then fly on the sword to the northwest to pray for rain.

Alas, she has such a hard life.

Yun Meng was muttering to himself, but his feet moved quickly. However, before he entered the forest, he was attracted by a strange sound.

Hearing the sound, Yunmeng turned around and moved closer to the direction of the sound, then she laughed.

This turned out to be the entrance to a secret passage, and two men were fighting fiercely not far from the entrance.

Yunmeng's gossiping nature was naturally aroused. Her big eyes swept across the two people's faces and she quickly figured out what was going on.

It turned out that one of them was the Dark Dragon Guard and the other was Haru's Secret Guard. The Dark Dragon Guard followed Haru's Secret Guard and immediately took action when they discovered the secret passage.

However, the two men were equally strong, and neither could defeat the other in a short time. Because the fight lasted too long, both of them were very tired.

It is no exaggeration to say that the two of them are really panting now. No wonder Yunmeng came over curiously to eat the melon after hearing the sound.

The secret guard saw that the stalemate would be disadvantageous to him, so he took out poison and sprinkled it on the dark dragon guard.

Unexpectedly, the Dark Dragon Guard was not a pushover. While dodging, he also threw out a handful of poison.

My goodness, the fight has now gone from a battle of strength to a battle of poison.

Yun Meng looked at him for a while and judging from his facial features, the Dark Dragon Guard was not in danger today, but the Dark Guard's life was in danger, so she left quietly.

Yunmeng has remembered this secret passage. She will come and explore it next time she has the chance. Maybe it will come in handy someday.

After all, the secret passage leading out of the city is not easy to dig.

Yun Meng quickly found a deserted place and flew away on her sword. Although she was very fast, she still could not escape the eyes of those scattered in the mountains and forests.

Not long after Yunmeng left, news spread that someone in Yan State had become a spirit and ascended to heaven, which cooled the tense atmosphere.

More people turned their attention to Xishan, speculating that the treasure in Xishan might not be a legend or a rumor, but a fact.

If there was no treasure, how could it be possible for Dong Jing to become a spirit and ascend to heaven in broad daylight?

There was no conversation along the way. Yunmeng arrived in the northwest smoothly at noon. Yunmeng came to the place for praying for rain which he had chosen earlier and set up an altar to pray for rain without saying a word.

Lord Yun looked up at the scorching sun. The sunlight was so bright that he couldn't open his eyes, and they were narrowed into slits. Even so, Lord Yun shed tears.

The confidant standing beside Lord Yun also looked up at the sky with a worried look on his face.
