Chapter 735

"This is Qingping town?" Yan Liqiang rode on Caiyun chasing the moon, looked at the town in front of him, turned his head and asked Liu Xitong.

"Yes, this is Qingping town. I've been here several times before!" Liu Xi nodded affirmatively and looked at the surrounding streets, "here... It seems that there are no walking corpses!"

"Be careful, don't be careless, look at it first!"

"Yes!"

The whole team walked slowly with Yan Liqiang. There was no one in the streets of the town, and the walking corpses could not be seen. The streets were scattered with discarded sundries, broken tiles, cans and scattered furniture. The doors of shops and restaurants on the street were open, chaotic, locked and invisible. In front of the town, It reminds Yan Liqiang of the uninhabited town being demolished.

Not only Yan Liqiang, but also other riders in the team turned their heads one by one and looked around here for fear that there would be walking corpses jumping out of where.

The town was quiet. Except for the occasional birds flying overhead, only the clattering of horses and wheels echoed on the green stone floor.

All traces in the town show that the people living in the town should have escaped, which makes Yan Liqiang feel a little comforted. Because the people in the town can live, there is a great possibility that the devil bug in his hand is still alive and has not been killed, so most people in the town have not become walking corpses.

Finally, after walking more than a hundred meters on the road of the town, the party finally saw five charred bodies in the street. The five charred bodies were still locked with chains. From the traces of the scene, they should have been tied up and thrown into the middle of the street and burned with firewood. Those walking corpses would not be so troublesome to kill. It's very possible, These five bodies should be walking corpses infected by insect eggs.

At this time, the first ray of the rising sun has hit the ground, and the sky has gradually turned white.

A little movement came from the alley not far away

"Who..." Liu Xi shouted at the same time. The crossbow in his hand suddenly turned to the entrance of the alley. Many sergeants on horseback suddenly raised their weapons.

A flower cat ran out of the alley and turned to see so many people in the street holding guys at it. It was probably shocked. After meowing, it crossed the street in the blink of an eye, climbed flexibly to a big banyan tree, then jumped to the tile head, and then disappeared

Liu Xi took a long breath and lowered the crossbow in his hand.

"Where is the iron lock bridge?" Listening to the footsteps, Yan Liqiang knew it was a cat, so he didn't move just now.

"Not far ahead!"

A few hundred meters down the road, the party finally came to the head of the iron cable bridge in the town.

The iron locks of the bridge are still there, but the seven or eight strong iron locks that make up the bridge deck have been cut off and fell into the river. The bridge deck of the iron cable bridge no longer exists. Only three or four iron locks are still in the whole iron lock bridge. Across the river, look at the iron locks. Ordinary people can walk past with their hands, but they can't bring too many things. It's impossible for cars and horses to go there, At the sight of such a scene, almost everyone in the team looked at Yan Liqiang and stopped talking. Now, Yan Liqiang has to decide what to do. From last night to now, Yan Liqiang has used his strength and practical actions to establish the prestige in the whole team. The people in the whole team ran here from Luyuan. Unexpectedly, everyone is still alive, It was a miracle that only a few people were injured.

Before Yan Liqiang spoke, a guard in the Imperial Palace ran over on his horse, "Lord Yan, my mother wants to talk to you..."

"Yes!" Yan Li emphasized turning the horse's head, walked back for a few steps, and came to the carriage in which Rong Guifei was sitting.

The curtain of the carriage opened, revealing Rong Guifei's eyes. The people in the carriage probably didn't rest well this night. Rong Guifei's eyes also revealed a trace of fatigue.

"Lord Yan, can't you cross the bridge in front?"

"Well, this bridge has also been damaged, but the damage is not as serious as the bridge in front. There are still several iron chains. People can hold the iron chains, but cars and horses can't..."

"Is there a way ahead?"

"According to Liu Xiaowei, there is a ferry dozens of miles ahead..."

"Well... I think everyone is tired after running all night... Can you have a rest in this town..." Rong Guifei said, with some embarrassment in her eyes and a slight pinch in her expression.

Yan Liqiang read the snake in his head and understood it in an instant. Although she found a place to rest for a quarter of an hour on the road last night, which was convenient for everyone, Rong Guifei had a bumpy night. She was in a hurry and couldn't hold back. However, she was embarrassed to explain, so she could only put forward such a suggestion tactfully.

Look at Rong Guifei, and then look at the exhausted faces in the team. Yan Liqiang made a decision at once, "OK, let's find a place to rest in Qingping town first. Let's have something to eat and recover our mental and physical strength. We'll find a way to do the rest..."

Rong Guifei finally breathed a sigh of relief, "thank you, Lord Yan......" after saying that, she put down the curtain again.

Yan Li stressed that he turned his horse back, waved, and called several officers from Luyuan, "Zhang Leyan, his name is Qian Dazhu. You two take some brothers to set up several outposts at the entrance of the town in front of us. As long as someone comes, you will warn immediately!"

"Yes!" Zhang Leyan and Qian Dazhu nodded and said hello. They took more than a dozen people and ran towards the entrance of the town on rhinoceros horses. The two Luyuan officers, Zhang Leyan smart and Qian Dazhu steady, are good partners together and won't leak.

"Guo Sida, Xu Shu and Meng Hui, you three take people to search the town and find a place for everyone to settle down!"

"Yes!" The three took command and turned away with a group of sergeants.

"Yan Qing..." Yan Liqiang shouted.

Yan Qing, carrying a horned Python bow, ran from the last side of the team on his horse, "young master, you call me..."

"Well, Liu Xiaowei knows the way. You and Liu Xiaowei go to the wharf in bailongdian to inquire about the situation and see if there are any ships..."

Liu Xitong knows the road, and his accomplishments are also good. Yan Qing is a divine archer. The two partners go to the front to explore the road. There will be no problem. Even if they encounter a walking corpse, they can return safely.

When they heard Yan Liqiang's order, they looked at each other and hugged each other at the same time, "yes!", With that, the horse continued to rush to the south.

……

Qingping town is not big. It's just a short time. Guo Sida, Xu Shu and Meng Hui took people around the whole town and came back. As expected, there were no people in the town, all of them ran away, and there were no walking dead. There were two big houses near the bamboo forest in the north of the town. They looked good and just allowed everyone to rest.

Yan Liqiang directly asked everyone to rest in the two big houses.

The doors of the two big houses were locked and next to each other. There was no one in them. When Yan Liqiang came, he directly broke the door lock of the big house, and then lived in.

The party ran all night last night and was too tired. As soon as they came to the mansion, they rested and ate.

Yan Liqiang directly asked Rong Guifei to live in the backyard of a big house. There are several yards in the backyard, including gardens, rockeries and attics. It seems that it was also the residence of the women's dependents in the big house. Now it is just enough for the women in the palace to live in it.

Just a moment later, Liu Xitong and Yan Qing came back with news.

"There are several boats still in the White Dragon Lake, but the people have basically run away. Many people in the villages over there have escaped. Some people have no time to escape, so they hide in the White Dragon Lake and dare not come out. There are fifty or sixty miles of reed marshes in the white Dragon Lake, which can't be seen at a glance, Many people in Qingping town hid in the reed marshes before they could escape. As soon as we got to the wharf, we met a man who ran out of the reed marshes to find something. When he saw these military uniforms I was wearing, he dared to meet us and tell us the situation... "

"How many people survived in the nearby village?"

"Quite a lot. I heard the man say that there were not many villagers who had become walking corpses in several villages here. Only a few were killed and burned before they hurt a few people. That night, I saw the beacon Stanley in the imperial capital. In addition, I heard that there was an accident in Huizhou City and it became chaotic. People in the nearby villages began to run away. Many people here had heard that the natural disaster was coming, They all want to run away, but there is no road guide. The government is in charge. They just seize the opportunity... "

"OK, I see. Go and have a rest!"

After asking Liu Xitong and Yan Qing to leave, Yan Liqiang asked someone to call the Wenguan affair again.

"Ah, my Lord has something to find me!" After seeing Yan Liqiang's power with his own eyes last night, the cultural management department saw Yan Liqiang. His smile became more humble and he spoke carefully.

"There must be a blacksmith's shop in Qingping town. Take some craftsmen to have a look. Although the blacksmith in the town escaped, the things in the blacksmith's shop should still be there. You ask your craftsmen to go to the blacksmith's shop to make some iron locks and chains to repair the bridge. When the bridge is built, we can cross the river. This must be done before dark!" Yan Li patted steward Wen on the shoulder, "it's up to steward Wen to tell us when we can leave here!"

Wen Guan was inspired, and then immediately it was like beating chicken blood. "Don't worry, sir. As long as there is a blacksmith shop in the town, I will let people do things well before dark!"

"Well, go!"

Wen Guan saluted and left.

At this time, Yan Liqiang deeply felt that it was the wisest choice to take the craftsmen of Luyuan on the road
