"Yes." Chang Ying responded humbly.
As the commander of the Kyoto troops, he had trained all the guards himself and they were like brothers to him. But now there were only a dozen of them left. It would be a lie to say he wasn't upset.
Of the nine hundred soldiers in Kyoto, only thirteen remained.
Hearing the girl's call, they all came and stood inside the house.
It's late at night.
Wei Xiyin sat in the main hall, her expression flickering under the candlelight. Her expression was gloomy as she spoke, "Tell me everything that happened in Kyoto from the beginning."
The guard looked dejected and told the truth.
The zombie outbreak in Kyoto happened late at night.
The incident happened first in the palace. The emperor, who had already gone to bed, suddenly went mad and bit the concubine who was sleeping with him to death.
The palace servants were terrified when they heard the screams in the hall, but since His Majesty had not given any orders, no one dared to go in to check.
But a moment later, His Majesty came out of the palace with his mouth full of blood, rolled his eyes and threw himself at the palace servants waiting outside the palace, and bit them with his bloody mouth...
Immediately afterwards, riots broke out all over the palace.
The guards arrived, but they did not dare to harm His Majesty, and quickly sent people outside the palace to ask the ministers to discuss the matter.
The Wei Mansion was located on Changle Street outside the Imperial Palace. When Wei Minglun heard the news, he quickly got up, dressed, and ordered the guards to go out and investigate the situation.
Wei Minglun's official position was not high, and he was not among the officials notified, but his father was the Minister of the Central Secretariat. His Majesty was feeling guilty about Duke Wei's retirement, and it was obvious that he would make use of the Wei family in the future.
The important officials in the court who lived next to him were willing to do him a favor and told the Wei family what happened in the palace.
Upon learning of the riot in the palace, His Majesty suspected that he had gone mad. The two counselors living in the front yard of the mansion, as well as Wei Ji, were awakened by the noise and rushed to the study to discuss the matter.
But before they could even step into the study, the servant beside them suddenly changed and pounced on one of the gentlemen and bit him.
It was late at night, the candlelight outside was dim, and a sudden change had occurred, leaving no one prepared...
The soldiers realized something was wrong, so they protected their masters and retreated. They took immediate action, but there was no reaction when the knife stabbed into their chests.
Things are extremely strange.
The man who had been bitten stood up. Like the servant, his face was covered with veins, his eye sockets were filled with white, and his appearance became extremely terrifying. He roared and rushed towards the people...
At the same time, screams were heard outside, and countless roars sounded from far and near.
Sensing that something was wrong, the guards resisted the servants and the master who had turned into monsters, and escorted them back to the backyard.
The soldiers in Kyoto did not live in the palace. Except for the hundred people on duty, the rest were all in villas outside the city.
The city gates were locked, and Changle Street was located in the center of Kyoto, far away from the city gates. They could not escape, so they could only guard their homes first.
The screams outside filled the night sky, chaos and commotion.
During this period, many servants in the mansion gradually mutated. Everyone stood apart, as if facing a great enemy, because they didn't know who would be the next to turn into a monster. They were all wary of the people around them. The servants trembled and held knives and sticks in their hands, guarding against sudden changes.
This night was thrilling. The guards arrived at the hospital gate and finally spent the night safely.
Wait until dawn.
The air was filled with a strong stench of decay and blood. The monster's movements gradually became quieter. The guard climbed onto the roof to check the situation outside, and his face turned pale in an instant.
The nearby houses and streets were filled with monsters, hungry for life. Their faces were covered in blood, and broken flesh oozed from the corners of their mouths. The entire city of Kyoto had fallen...
And those court ministers who entered the palace never came back.
Wei Xiyin half-closed her eyes, her fingers trembling slightly, "How did you escape from Kyoto?"
The guard buried his head deeply. "My lady, on the third day, two armies entered the palace to rescue the emperor. The soldiers stationed on the outskirts of the city took advantage of them releasing the monster and followed them deep into the city."
There is no need to go into details about the various hardships and dangers, as most of the troops were killed or wounded.
At that time, there were not only them, but also several major families outside. The Liu family was also present. They also wanted to take advantage of the crowd to go in and rescue their clan leader, but there were too many monsters inside. They were almost surrounded halfway through the rush, and the Liu family had to retreat from the city.
The Wei family's followers are all orphans who have been raised by the Wei family since childhood. They all grew up in the Wei family and are absolutely loyal to the head of the family. They rushed to Changle Street to find someone.
During the trip, he passed by Yu's house and found Yu Hongrong and some of the servants in the house still alive, so he rescued them.
The monsters moved very slowly during the day, and the army had a large number of people, so the noise had already attracted the zombies over, reducing their pressure.
But even so, he managed to save the people and escape at the risk of his life.
However, after escaping the city, they did not go to Jingzhao Yin, but went to the Huguo Temple located on a mountain outside the city.
This is what Wei Minglun meant.
After three days, everyone has discovered that the monster has two forms: day and night.
Jingzhaoyin is too close to Kyoto and is not very safe. Huguo Temple is on the top of a mountain, the only mountain near Kyoto where people can take refuge.
Then, they met Cao Mo at Huguo Temple.
Cao Mingyuan's third son.
Wei Minglun was unaware of the situation, and was very happy to see Cao Mo here. He asked about the Minister of Agriculture with concern.
Cao Mo smiled faintly, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Wei. My father is doing well."
………
The guard's face turned pale as he spoke, gritting his teeth as he continued, "Many of those who escaped chose to seek refuge in the Huguo Temple, including the people from the nearby villages. Cao Mo, as the son of the Minister of Agriculture, was well known to everyone, and no one suspected him at all..."
Who would have thought that the Minister of Agriculture was the mastermind behind all this?
He had been hiding for so long and was Wei Minglun's immediate superior, so no one was on guard against Cao Mo who was hiding among the survivors.
