Demolition

Hurrying slowly finally arrived at Anqing Mansion without too late.Anqing Mansion is also a port city on the north-south border, and is the throat of merchants from the north and the south.

Lu Chen used a wooden sign to find Mr. Gao Lian, the prefect of Anqing Mansion. The other party received him with great enthusiasm and promised to contact the garrison immediately. 20 years of local chronicles.

In addition to recording politics, economy, agriculture, business, etc., the local chronicles will also record some important events. Fortunately, Anqing Mansion has always been an important place, and the records are still complete even after a long time. Lu Chen opened the one in the ninth year of Yonghe.

"In February of the ninth year of Yonghe, the famine caused the crow chaos.From more than a thousand to nearly ten thousand, it belongs to Baiyazhai.The dynasty and the northern kingdom dispatched hundreds of crow demolishers.After one month, it was basically suppressed.A total of [-] people were killed or injured. '

A few figures summed up the earth-shattering case of that year. Lu Chen read it many times. Among the "hundreds of crow crackers" was his own father. After a while, he began to think about other words.This level of crow infestation was caused by famine. It is basically a major accident of the government. There must be warning signs of the food shortage of crows. The government did not prevent the death of almost a city in advance. The length of this matter is recorded.However, after Lu Chen thought about it, he didn't have the impression that the prefect of Anqing Mansion at that time convicted him. It's strange, did he not notice it?But this level should be more than just dismissal and exile. He actually forgot, alas, but most of the officials are from the Southeast King, so it's not surprising that he didn't have access to all the information.Baiya Village should be a gathering place for crows located at the junction of the north and the south. I didn't expect there to be so many crows. How hungry would they have to be to attack humans.

Without more words, Lu Chen couldn't find out whether the crow plague had anything to do with his father's final death. Because of his professional habits as a crow demolisher, Lu Chen turned to the geography chapter to see the origin of this Baiya village.Perhaps it is easier to write about local conditions and customs, but Baiyazhai takes up three full pages.According to the author's description, Baiyazhai is located in the northeast of Anqing Prefecture. It is named for its special terrain. It is separated by a steep cliff on the south and Huaihe River on the north. It has been uninhabited since then. Later, a group of crows settled here. Because this place is close to the north and south and easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is very suitable for survival. A large number of crows gradually gathered, and finally became the veritable No. [-] Crow Village decades ago. However, the crows in Baiya Village rarely come into contact with people. Suffering is the first time they have entered the human world on record, and they didn't expect to have a big one as soon as they came.However, in the last paragraph, the author wrote a legend about crows in a short space.

Emperor Jun and Xihe have ten sons. They have both the characteristics of man and god, and they are also the incarnation of the golden crow, a flying sun bird.Tanggu is the place where the ten suns inhabit. Every morning, one sun rises from the sacred Fusang tree in the east, turns into a sun bird and flies between the sky and the earth to illuminate the earth. At night, it falls on the sacred tree of Ruomu in the west.After Hou Yi shot at the sun, the only surviving Golden Crow was called a Crow.The last place where Hewu stopped was Baiya Village.

This paragraph of text is not long, but Lu Chen is confused, three-legged crow?What the hell is that?A crow with three legs?Is it a fairy or the sun or a bird?If the last sun falls into the world, is the one hanging above the head painted by the Jade Emperor?Lu Chen couldn't believe that this kind of nonsense folklore could also be written in local chronicles. Should it be said that the person who wrote this was well-informed or not doing his job properly?

Lu Chen, who has always been obsessed with the local chronicles, finally walked out of the room. Except for an inexplicable legend, he could say that he found nothing. It was the time of low pressure. He realized that he was already in the third day of Anqing Mansion. Why did the prefect contact the garrison? so long?I was about to ask someone to ask, but found that everyone was in a hurry and looked like they were on their backs.

"Master Gao, what happened?"

Lu Chen walked into the back office and saw the prefect who was in a state of desperation

"Oh, Master Lu, you've figured it out." The magistrate, who was still chubby two days ago, had lost a lot of weight at this time, bending over pitifully, "A crow is coming!"

Lu Chen, who held the cherry blossom card, was like a representative of the royal family. He was treated by the magistrate as the last straw, and he narrated what happened intermittently.After several crow infestations, Anqing Mansion attracted the attention of the imperial court, and established a strict monitoring system to prevent crows from suddenly attacking and causing bad consequences. Cooperating with the garrison, they also summed up a set of methods to deal with the crow attack.I have to say that this method is indeed very effective. Not only has the loss of personnel and property due to crows decreased year by year in recent years, but it has also been able to cope with the influx of crows from the north in the past six months.

Two days ago, Mr. Gao got the news that a large number of crows were approaching the border. He thought it was a routine invasion, so Mr. Gao ordered to go down and deal with it according to the procedure.This process is that the government will report the collected crow data to the person in charge of the garrison, and the person in charge will arrange a corresponding number of troops for him to dispatch. The government will first send a pair of advance teams to inquire about the facts. One or two crow destroyers will be included. After obtaining the exact source and ability of crows, we will customize the next plan to prevent crows from approaching human activity areas.It stands to reason that the combat effectiveness of this team is not low, and what they are doing is not cannon fodder, and there is no danger.

But this time the advance team sent by Mr. Gao did not come back on time. Although everyone was puzzled, they did not send anyone to inquire about the news. It was just that they were delayed on the way. Unexpectedly, things suddenly got out of hand this morning. Not only that, the estimated number of crows was almost one tenth of the actual number, and the speed was extremely fast. When Kochifu got the news, they were only [-] miles away from the city.

Master Gao's blood flowed backwards when he heard the news. This speed meant that nearly 5 crows would arrive in the city that evening. The situation at that time can only be described as dark clouds, and the lives of more than [-] people in the city are hanging by a thread. If the Anqing Mansion, which has been stable for more than ten years, falls into his hands, there are still so many lives, not to mention keeping Xiangshang's head, it is possible for the emperor to kill his nine clans in a fit of anger.

"Your Excellency, it's not that the lower officials are incompetent. The lower officials immediately contacted General Ren who was stationed at the border, but General Ren led people to patrol at this juncture. I can't move any of the people in the battalion. I can only rely on the mansion. It is impossible for the guard army to resist so many crows. Lord Lu must help."

Gao Zhifu's chubby body knelt in front of Lu Chen, crying with snot and tears.

"You mean that there were only a thousand crows at the beginning?" Lu Chen frowned.

"Yes, the lower officials will never dare to hide anything."

"Is there any news of famine breaking out within the jurisdiction of Anqing Mansion in the past three months?"

"No, there have been several snowfalls this winter, so the harvest has been good."

"Where did the crow come from?"

"Should be northeast."

Lu Chen's face was so dark that ink could be squeezed out, "there are more than a thousand of them, and nearly ten thousand of them belong to Baiyazhai", these words immediately jumped into his mind.How could there be such a coincidence, the same number of crows in the same place, last time it was because of famine, this time it was because of what?

The matter was urgent, and a small prefect really couldn't mobilize people in the army, and Lu Chen just had this right.Lu Chen first ordered Gao Zhifu to summon all the registered crow destroyers in the city, and then divided all the people who could be mobilized into fourteen teams to post emergency announcements in the fourteen districts of Anqing Prefecture. The heavy objects in the house are against the doors and windows. No matter what happens, don't panic and never open the windows. Then take out a strong young man to guard the water source in the city for the time being, and don't let the crows pollute the water source. He will mobilize the army as soon as possible.

After arranging these, Lu Chen took the cherry blossom card and galloped towards the barracks.

The people on the street were unaware of the catastrophe they were about to suffer. In a picture of living and working in peace and contentment, only Lu Chen was in a state of anxiety. It is not an opponent of tens of thousands of crows at all. More than a hundred highly skilled crow dismantlers spent a whole month in those days. Letting the common people hide at home is just a stopgap measure. Once the protracted battle begins, food and water will be a big problem. At this moment, I can only race against time, and I can't wait to put on my wings.wing!A chord in his mind suddenly sounded, and a familiar aura was captured by Lu Chen in the bustling market, it was Shen Jichuan!He's around!

Lu Chen almost subconsciously turned his horse's head and chased after him. He realized that something was wrong within two steps. He looked at the crowded street, suppressed the emotion in his heart and galloped towards the original direction. When he left, he flicked a small piece of paper and the man went out.

He is in Anqing Mansion!He is here!Lu Chen was worried a moment ago, but now he is full of joy. The coming army of crows has been put on hold, and all he can think about is Shen Jichuan's shadow and voice.How is he doing this time?Did he see himself just now?Why didn't he come to find himself?Did he know that Anqing Mansion would be in crisis? With a sound of 'jumping', the strings in my mind were suddenly broken in the fierce playing, which shocked the whole person and almost fell off the horse.

He arrived at Anqing Mansion at least one day in advance, which means that he probably knew that there were crows coming.And the advance team that was completely annihilated, who has the ability to kill a team full of elite soldiers and raven breakers?

Lu Chen didn't dare to think about it, Shen Jichuan's disappearance was full of doubts, and Lu Chen never forgot that his original identity was a crow, is it possible?is it possible?

Lu Chen only felt that his fingertips were getting colder and colder, and his chest was like a big hole continuously leaking out the heat in his body, which couldn't be blocked.
