The surroundings became quiet, and the entire Hongcheng was filled with smoke and dust.
A small figure ran out from the corner.
That was a half-grown child.
The clothes on his body were tattered.
Even his face was covered with dust.
He had injuries on his arms and legs and he stumbled when he walked.
My home is gone and now I don’t know where to go.
But what those people said made him more clear about what he should do.
They harmed Hongcheng and destroyed his family.
Now they want to burn the city.
Since he can't escape, then... those who harmed Hongcheng can't leave either.
Commander Liu was forced to lead the garrison to suppress the bandits.
When leaving, General Weiyuan even said a few words of comfort.
"The people I brought to you are all the garrison troops of your Lanzhou."
Commander Liu lowered his head and said, "Thank you, General."
General Weiyuan waved his hand: "No need, no need. Take your men and go quickly."
"This general is waiting for your good news."
General Weiyuan looked at the Lanzhou garrison troops in front of him, and his brows relaxed.
After all, nothing happened afterwards.
And these garrison troops are the support of the Lord of Lanzhou.
While they are suppressing the bandits, we can reduce the number of people under the command of Lord Lanzhou.
This is really the best of both worlds.
General Weiyuan wished, but Commander Liu's expression became even uglier.
He clenched his hands tightly and turned around suddenly.
"Let's go."
General Weiyuan didn't care about his rudeness at all. After all, a dying man would always be a little angry.
After they left, General Weiyuan looked at Lord Zhu standing beside him.
"Master Zhu, stop wasting time, it's time to go."
Lord Zhu nodded.
He had long been tired of this place and wanted to resolve the issue as soon as possible and return to the capital.
The people brought by General Weiyuan have already prepared the firewood.
There were quite a few of them, and they quickly picked up almost all the firewood nearby.
Some people also cut down large trees and surrounded the city walls.
No matter whether there are any living people in Hongcheng.
General Weiyuan had no intention of letting them leave the city.
"Okay, prepare for fire."
Lord Zhu arranged for the fire to spread from inside the city to outside.
Several places leading out of the city were tightly blocked.
"If anyone escapes, just kill them!"
"yes!"
General Weiyuan was very satisfied: "Master Zhu, let's go first."
Lord Zhu nodded.
Xu Hesheng followed the two of them, only looking back when he left.
This Hongcheng...
From today on, there will be only a few words in the history books.
It's still unknown how many people are still alive in this city, but...
Xu Hesheng didn't care at all. They were already infected with the disease and would definitely not be able to leave Hongcheng alive.
Several people walked out of the city.
The soldier who first lit the fire threw the torch into the center of the city.
The weather is nice today and the sun is high in the sky.
The entire underground is dry.
So the fire quickly grew bigger.
The fire spread outward along the firewood.
The fire gradually grew until it reached the house.
The soldier nodded to the people standing beside him holding torches.
"Okay, let's finish it quickly."
Several other people also went to the nearby area to light fires.
Burning a city is not just talk.
According to rumors, the fire in Licheng burned for several days.
By the end of the fire, most of the city had collapsed.
The people inside were gone, leaving only dust on the ground.
So General Weiyuan made arrangements with them as he walked out.
"We need to prepare more firewood and other things. It will definitely take a day or two to burn."
Lord Zhu responded casually.
"Just arrange it."
Xu Hesheng followed behind without interrupting.
"By the way, you will come back to the capital with me later."
Lord Zhu paused and looked at Xu Hesheng behind him.
Xu Hesheng responded hurriedly, "Yes."
But a few people didn't notice that some figures were moving back and forth from the path next to them.
Because Commander Liu and the garrison troops of Lanzhou were sent to suppress the bandits.
The people under General Weiyuan also have their own tasks.
In addition, Hongcheng has been almost cleaned up.
So the three of them just walked on the road.
When General Weiyuan was about to say something, a figure suddenly flashed before him.
Several half-grown children rushed over.
Lord Zhu didn't have time to dodge and was hit in the face by someone.
He fell directly to the ground.
"grown ups!"
Xu Hesheng had some skills and dodged the child who was rushing towards him by moving sideways.
When I turned around, I saw Lord Zhu being knocked to the ground by someone, and was about to go and help him.
The child bit Mr. Zhu's face hard.
A scream echoed throughout the city.
Lord Zhu used all his strength to throw the child out.
But he didn't feel well, with many bite wounds on his face.
Even the heaviest bite just now had bitten off the flesh on his face.
Lord Zhu's eyes were bloodshot and blood was dripping down his face.
General Weiyuan was tall and strong, and the two children hugged his legs directly.
Another one planned to repeat the same trick.
It’s a pity that General Weiyuan is so tall.
He blocked it with his hand in time.
Seeing that he couldn't hold his head, the child simply bit his hand.
General Weiyuan felt a pain in his hand and threw it away violently.
The child hit the wall and vomited blood.
Xu Hesheng was fine, he avoided the attack of these children.
The remaining children saw that things were not going well.
He fled out in a hurry again.
Lord Zhu covered his face with his hands, his eyes becoming more and more ferocious.
The blood dripping down his face made him look like a murderous evil ghost.
"A bunch of untouchables!"
Lord Zhu said this viciously.
"General Weiyuan, arrest them all!"
The city can be burned later, but revenge must still be taken.
General Weiyuan's face also looked unhappy.
"I'll have them catch them right away."
He said as he walked back.
I wish you good health.
The wound is deep and big.
He covered his face with his hands, blood still oozing from his fingertips.
Xu Hesheng was a little anxious, and hurriedly handed the medicine he had on him to Lord Zhu.
"grown ups!"
Mr. Zhu opened the bottle and applied the medicine directly on his face.
Although the medicine was good, when it was applied to the wound, Lord Zhu couldn't help but curse.
"Are you okay?"
Lord Zhu glanced at him casually.
"Humph, I will make them pay the price!"
Xu Hesheng had a bad guess.
These kids have been in Hongcheng for so long, who knows...
They carry the disease.
Now he bit Lord Zhu hard.
That. . .
He didn't dare to think further, let alone say it out loud at this time.
At least to some extent, he was safe.
"Sir, let's find a place to apply the medicine first."
Although Lord Zhu poured some medicine on the wound.
But just standing there and taking medicine is not good.
So he nodded: "By the way, tell General Weiyuan."
"Once I find these untouchables, I will personally deal with them!"
