Zhang Ming wanted to persuade again, but Mr. Yu just shook his head and said nothing.

Zhang Mingguan looked calm, knowing that his thoughts had been decided, he reluctantly came, sighed, picked up Zhuan'er, who was still crying, and said: "Uncle Yu, Xiaodao will pick up Mrs. Yu's mother and son later, and will definitely take them out safely, uncle, you ...... Take care. ”

Old Master Yu nodded with satisfaction, and arched his hand to him again, "It's a long time to worry about the small road." ”

Zhang Ming was afraid that Zhuan'er's voice would attract the attention of others, so he gently stroked her neck and made the little girl fall asleep.

Out of the carriage, looking left and right, seeing the soldiers walking back and forth, all of them looked tense, many people were already preparing to pile firewood and pour oil, obviously waiting for the demon to attack, about to set fire to the forest, knowing that it was necessary to hurry, so quickly walked to the female car.

Originally, there were more than 30 guards on duty here, but when Fang was in danger, they were all transferred to the outside world to defend against demons, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead, only a few people who look like stewards are nervously guarding with wooden sticks.

They all knew Zhang Ming, and when they saw him holding the child in his arms, they didn't come up to stop him.

Zhang Ming saw that there were three carriages here, but he didn't know which one was where Mrs. Yu was, so he asked, "Mrs. Yu, where are you?"

A weak voice came from the right hand driving man, and said, "But Zhang Daochang?"

Zhang Ming walked a few steps to the carriage, and because it was inconvenient for him to enter, he whispered outside: "Mrs. Yu, the demon is powerful and the situation is critical, Uncle Yu asked Xiaodao to pick up your mother and son, and left here quickly." ”

Mrs. Yu's voice showed a weakness, and she said, "Dao Chief." The Taoist chief doesn't care about the concubine, so he will send my child to Dale City, and I hope he can spend this life in peace. ”

When she said the back, her voice choked up, and she began to weep in a low voice.

Zhang Ming persuaded and said: "Mrs. Yu, how can you be born without a mother?

Mrs. Yu didn't feel comforted when she heard his words, and her spirits lifted a little. said in a trembling voice: "Is the little Taoist chief serious?"

After all, you can live. No one wants to die seriously, not to mention that she still has a young son who has just been born.

Zhang Ming said in a calm voice: "Xiaodao really has a way, please Mrs. Yu must believe me." ”

Mrs. Yu was silent for a while before she said, "It's just that the concubine is inconvenient to walk." I can only trouble the Taoist. ”

Zhang Ming saw that he agreed. Breathe a sigh of relief. Said: "Then forgive Xiaodao for being rude." ”

He waited a little longer, then lifted the curtain and entered, and saw Mrs. Yu lying on the couch. With a scarf on her forehead and a thick quilt wrapped around her, there was a maid by her side, who had already run away, and the baby was on the side of her head and face, and was sleeping soundly at the moment.

He said offended, took out a red pen, and drew a talisman on the inner wall of the carriage with rapid movements, and as he moved, a puff of smoke gradually covered the carriage.

At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of sharp birdsong outside, as well as the sound of large wings, knowing that the bird demon was attacking again, and he was busy speeding up his movements.

When he was finished, he was a little tired, wiped the sweat from his head, and then went outside, took out a water bladder, and poured it into the two horses.

After a while, there seemed to be a few shouts, and billowing smoke came out from a few directions, and the camp was suddenly in chaos, and people kept running and crying.

Zhang Ming ignored it, took out a rune paper from his bosom, ignited it, and tried to point it again, and with a bang, this talisman turned into a spiritual fire and floated in front of the horse's head.

When the two horses saw the fire, they seemed to have some traction, neighed, kicked with their hooves, and stared at the pursuit.

Wherever Zhang Ming's hand pointed, the fire often fluttered, and he drove the carriage out of the woods.

Mrs. Yu's voice came from the car at this time, and she asked a little eagerly: "Dao Chief, where is my father-in-law, why don't you wait with me?"

Zhang Ming said in a low voice: "Uncle Yu has the will to die and does not want to go together. ”

There was silence in the car for a while.

Zhang Ming sighed in his heart, if he had his master's ability and magic power, why would he be like this?

But thinking of this, I wondered in my heart, Master should have also arrived in this immortal mountain, but why didn't he come to find himself for a long time?

Or is there nothing the Master can do about this demon?

He was a little flustered for a moment, thinking that this seemed to be the case, and he was deeply concerned and refused to believe the answer.

While he was thinking wildly, it suddenly dawned in front of him that he was already outside the woodland. He looked into the sky and gasped.

The bird demons in the sky are dense, and there are actually several times more than Fang Cai, and he has injured the monsters that look like such demon generals, and there are more than ten of them here.

Fortunately, there was a talisman to cover it, and the carriage and horse hid the sound of the tracks, and they all ignored him and ran out very smoothly.

That's it, after getting out of danger, his back was also full of cold sweat.

If you walk normally, walk along the mountains, forests and rivers, and then go north to the official road, but there are still three or four days away, you can reach Dale City. But he did not dare to take the avenue, and passed through the small path, but fortunately, with the help of charms, the chariots and horses passed through the mountains and forests, as if walking on the flat ground, and it took four or five days to reach the open land

There were people here, but they were also people who had fled, and many people saw that he had horses and carts, so they leaned over and walked together, and in one day, hundreds of people also gathered. He asked, only to learn that these people had fled from Guyang City in the east.

Two days later, he saw a boundary monument, the word "Lejun" mentioned above.

Leaning beside the stone sat a middle-aged scribe, dressed in tatters and looking depressed.

Zhang Ming got out of the carriage, stepped forward, and asked, "Please ask this gentleman, I don't know how to go to Dale City?"

He asked twice in a row, and the man reacted, raised his eyes, and said with a miserable smile: "Da Lecheng? ”

When this word was spoken, it immediately caused an uproar, and the people around him showed disbelief, and one of them blushed, ran to the front, pointed at him, and said, "You." How can you spread rumors here?"

The middle-aged scribe sneered and said: "I spread rumors and make trouble?" Lin was originally a scribe under the door of Le Hou, five days ago, a big demon came to attack, Le Hou led more than 10,000 elite soldiers out of the city to resist, who knew that under his breath of gold, the city fell down and the wall fell, Le Hou died on the spot, more than 10,000 elite soldiers were defeated, and only half of the people who escaped with their lives in the end. ”

Hearing what he said, the man was stunned. Then take a few steps back. He screamed: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, more than 10,000 elite soldiers, how can they not defeat a demon." You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!"

The scribe looked like he wanted to say something. But suddenly he gave up again, his face was full of sadness, and he sighed long. Said: "Demons can drive away spells, and no matter how powerful the guards are, they are also mortal flesh." How do you fight it?"

The man was stunned for a long time, and then he seemed to lose his strength and sat down on the ground in despair.

There was also a cry from the surrounding crowd, and they came all the way to Dale City for refuge, thinking that they could find a safe place, but they didn't expect that it was still an empty dream in the end.

The middle-aged scribe seemed to be unable to bear to see this, and said: "I will point you to a place to go, in the northeast direction, there is a high hill, called Shuntianpo, which is where the old capital of the previous dynasty is located, and the people and soldiers who have retreated have gone there, and you can also go there." ”

Zhang Ming said: "The wilderness is full of demons, and it's not peaceful, why don't the forest officials go with them?"

The middle-aged scribe seemed to struggle for a moment before nodding.

Shuntian Slope was not far from where they were, and after walking for two hours under the guidance of a middle-aged scribe, they came across a tall mound with a section of the city wall that had collapsed long ago, and now it was full of fleeing people.

Because the site of the old city is on a plain, Zhang Ming's vision is unobstructed, he looked at it, and estimated that there were no less than tens of thousands of people gathered here, and at this moment, there were several people dressed in official robes and soldiers outside the city who were trying to maintain and distribute porridge and rice.

There were no corpses on the road that could be seen everywhere along the way, and it was obvious that someone had collected them, indicating that there were still officials in this place to maintain order, and the situation was better than he had previously thought.

The middle-aged scribe also saw it, and he smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, the demons don't eat rice grain, but the grain stored in the warehouse is not lost, otherwise these many people, without waiting for the demons to attack, will starve to death." ”

At this time, a group of soldiers passed by, all wearing heavy armor, wearing short swords at their waists, and bows and arrows wrapped around their backs. Holding a big axe, Changge shook the billowing smoke and dust wherever he passed, but there were hundreds of people, and there was a tendency for thousands of troops to change up.

The middle-aged scribe pointed and said, "This is the elite soldier of Le Hou's subordinates, I don't know, can I still find a thousand now?"

Zhang Ming looked at it for a while and said, "But what Xiaodao saw was that the guards under the Ronghou Mansion were much stronger." ”

The middle-aged scribe said: "Dale City is the head of a county, and it is naturally not comparable to the guards of the ordinary Hou Mansion...... Wait, Honor?"

His face changed, and he said, "Didn't you come from Guyang City?"

Zhang Ming said: "It was just the entourage, but the trail came from the west, and at that time, the Xingrong City was broken, and this is the great joy." ”

The middle-aged scribe asked anxiously, "When did it happen?"

Zhang Ming thought about it for a moment and said, "I don't know the specific time, it was about half a month ago. ”

The middle-aged scribe suddenly sweated profusely, he took a branch of a tree, drew four city outlines in different directions, and then outlined the roads along the way, and muttered in his mouth: "It should be 15 days ago, on the 16th, Gushan City was broken, and on the 17th, Guyang City was broken, and these three cities were almost ...... at the same time."

His hand suddenly paused, then he threw the branch, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "This demon is calculating, this is like driving away a flock of sheep, so that people from all over the world gather under my great joy, so that they can be drowned in one fell swoop." ”

With tears on his face, he looked at the rolling crowd down the slope, and sighed: "Why is the common people innocent, this is a great disaster, look, in a few days, the demons will be able to eat all the people in the world!"

"Eat all the people in the world?" Zhang Ming was shocked and said, "Lin Guanren, what do you mean by this?"

The middle-aged scribe laughed miserably: "Don't you know, there are eight counties in the world, and now there are still traces of people in my county, and the remaining seven counties, the bones that have been plagued by demons in the past ten years are all over the field, and there is no one to live. ”
