Thunder passed through the clouds, and there was a loud bang.

On the pass below, someone looked up at the sky. Big beads of sweat slid across his forehead. The crowd not far away was loud and shouting slogans to strengthen the defense. Farther away, busy people could be vaguely seen on the mountains. figure.

On the city wall of Yanmen Pass, two figures were walking side by side, their eyes looking towards the north at the same time.

"Who were those three people before and why they could leave the seclusion at will?" Huang Xin, who was wearing armor, retracted his gaze and turned to the figure next to him.

The person being questioned was dressed like a hundred households in Dongchang, with a handsome face, and the corners of his eyes occasionally twitched unconsciously, "General Huang just needs to know that he is a big shot. We will tell you everything else we can tell you, except This matter can only be kept secret."

Huang Xin actually came to Yanmen for a period of time, and he probably didn't have a very happy life, especially since Dongchangjia sent people over to pull large carts out of the pass. He always had doubts in his heart, but he restrained himself, but in the end Some things still let him know, and he lost his temper for a few days. He still remembers the words he said at that time and the other person's expression in response.

.

"You are planning to stage an extermination plan. The people over there are also Han Chinese."

At that time, the hundred households looked at him in a cold voice, "Our family will carry out the state affairs arranged by the governor, no matter how terrible things are in it. General Huang is a soldier and a hot-blooded man. With our family If it is different, there will naturally be dissatisfaction. These governors have already greeted us below, so we can understand it, but this matter is related to the Jurchens' second trip south... The governors are trying to buy you time."

Later, Huang Xin, who had been behind closed doors for two days, finally put on his armor again and stood on the top of the city, but his haggard look made him even more silent and uneasy.

.

When my thoughts came back, the noise of people sounded in my ears again.

The Baihu next to him had already walked a few steps away. He raised his hand and called out: "Wang Baihu, stay back. The young general wants to ask, those three people are sent by the governor... If there is need, Huang can lend a helping hand." .”

The dull thunder sounded overhead again, and the lightning flashed in the sky and came this way.

The standing figure turned sideways.

"That's not necessary. Naturally, the people from Dongchang will be responsible for Dongchang's affairs. When our family came, Hai Qianhu ordered that the defense line in this area must be stable, and no one or thing from the north should be allowed to enter the Wu Dynasty, otherwise there will be consequences. General Huang should know."

"Huang must fully cooperate with Wang Baihu to guard this place."

Huang Xin answered with clasped fists. After seeing away the Dongchang Baihu, he looked outside Yanmen Pass again. The dark clouds began to move this way.

Heavy rain seems to be coming.

The low-flying swallows clipped their wings and passed by the courtyard, indicating that a heavy rain was about to come. In the morning, the sun was still shining on the ground and elongating people's shadows, but now it was gloomy and the wind was blowing. Hanging on the corners of the eaves The wind chimes tinkled incessantly.

Marshal's Mansion in Datong.

In the hall, many core figures from the Datong Mansion have gathered here, such as Pu Jianu, Oru, Alihexi, Xiao Zhonggong, Wu Linda Taiyu and others. Among them are many surrendered ministers like Xiao Zhonggong from the Liao Kingdom.

"In recent times, everyone is almost aware that something has happened. Many strange diseases have appeared in various places in Datong Prefecture. I didn't pay attention to it before. Today, I realized that the disease is spreading everywhere like a plague. Early this morning , the government office has received reports of similar symptoms appearing in the city."

Kong Wulili, who was born in Ah Lihe, was a civil servant in charge of political affairs. His eyes scanned the faces of the people who came to discuss the matter, "The doctors in the city also checked it. It is very similar to the plague, but in the middle. .”

Not long after, a figure walked over from the back of the hall. Just as everyone was about to get up, the man pressed his palms and sat on the big chair covered with tiger skin, his single eye rolling in his eye sockets.

When the scars left by the fire on his face were twisted and moving, his voice said calmly: "Continue talking."

A Lihexi raised his head, imitating the officials of the Wu Dynasty, and cupped his hands: "It's just that in the meantime, within two days after contracting the disease, those people will go crazy and start biting the living creatures around them, and then pass on the disease. ..If this continues, I’m afraid the disaster will become even bigger.”

"Can you bite someone to death, like the tigers and wolves in the mountains?" Wanyan Zonghan snorted disdainfully on his strange white and black face.

"Yes, someone has been directly bitten to death."

The figure in the first place took a breath and looked beyond the crowd sitting below to the outside of the hall. There were raindrops hitting the ground, and then the sound of rain began to pour.

His voice followed closely: "When Taizu left, he gave me the commander-in-chief to garrison Datong, and all the power was given to me. There were people who should be promoted, and I was not stingy. At this time, When something like this happens, it is indeed like a cold winter day for the newly surrendered people, but these are all the Han officials under your command need to consider. I have given them preferential treatment. It is time to show their loyalty to the Kingdom of Jin. .”

"What is the commander going to do?" someone in the queue asked.

"That's their business, and we just need to take good care of them. Isn't the torture platform at Caishikou not demolished yet? Then don't demolish it. Keep it. It will still be used."

Wanyan Zonghan patted the armrest lightly, as if he had made a final decision on this matter, "No matter how severe it is, it is still a disease, but there is one more thing that I need to tell you."

His eyes became serious, staring at the people below. Everyone also pricked up their ears and straightened their bodies to listen.

"Your Majesty is newly appointed and has everything to do. How to inherit the Kingdom of Jin was something that the late emperor discussed with me when he was still alive. However, Zong Qian and Zong Wang have some troubles."

"Although the two princes are brothers, they cannot work together to plot the Southern Wu Dynasty. If the person who inherits the throne in the future is naturally the eldest son Zongqian, Zongwang has been fighting all the year round. He has a good reputation in the army and has a group of men under his command. Brave and skilled generals are at our disposal. Since I walked out of the white mountains and black waters, I have used strong force..."

Pu Jianu stood up and held his hands: "The commander-in-chief means that we stand with Zong Qian."

The tall Zong Han stood up and stood there. After a moment, he nodded: "The late emperor hoped that the Kingdom of Jin could be ruled for a long time. Zong Qian has made great achievements in this aspect, but Zong Wang only knows how to fight. This throne must be given to Zong Qian." , I once promised him in front of his funeral bed that he must keep Zong Qian..."

The rain was falling heavily, and a curtain of water formed under the eaves. The accumulated water flowed along the steps and into the drainage ditch. Wanyan Zonghan's voice was gradually drowned in the rain.

After the figure who was about to speak walked a few steps, suddenly there were several screams from the corridor outside the house, and everyone stood up nervously. However, most of the people in the room were strong men in the army. At this time, there was a sound Screaming wouldn't make them lose their footing. Wanyan Zonghan immediately led everyone out.

Outside, there were guards already standing guard.

In the corridor, a soldier frantically pounced on a corpse and bit it, staring at the surrounding soldiers with red eyes, loud syllables coming out of his throat.

"what happened"

Wanyan Zonghan pushed away the guard in front of him and walked to the front. At the same time, the figure crawling on the ground suddenly raised his face and rushed towards the person who came over. His bloody teeth were almost opened to the maximum extent and roared. He stepped on the corpse and ran over.

Over there, the single eye closed slightly.

He raised his arm, snatched the steel knife from the guard next to him, and swept it out with a sweep. The sword slashed across everyone's sight.

In an instant, blood sprinkled into the sky.

The head rolled in mid-air and fell to the ground. Blood spurted out from the broken neck. The walking figure stretched out its arms and made grasping movements. After a few steps, it fell to the ground with a thud.

With a clang of the knife, Wanyan Zonghan threw him to the ground. His burly body immediately turned around and raised his arm towards the person behind him: "Pull it down and burn it. Anyone who comes into contact with him will be burned."

Immediately, "Instruct the city guard to seal the four gates and only allow people to go out and not enter. Check out the patients in the city and drag them away and burn them to death. No matter whose family they belong to, they will be dealt with together."

After seeing it with his own eyes, he now realized that the disease was not as simple as imagined.

ps: There is only one update today, I’m stuck, I’m a little annoyed.
