Qinzhou, outside the east gate of Wangshan City.
Xiaoliu took the report he had just received and hurried into the temporary tent built by the woods.
Inside the tent, He Buning was discussing post-disaster matters with the officials from various departments who were still alive in Wangshan City.
When they saw Xiaoliu, everyone stopped discussing.
"My Lord Governor, Captain, we just received an urgent document. The various forces in Yunzhou have launched a counterattack, and the Tianliang City line has been lost!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an uproar broke out.
Wangshan City had just suffered such a great catastrophe, and Tianliang City was lost again. No one believed that this was not planned.
After getting outside, He Buning saw Xia Chan holding Xuan Yu and crying secretly while holding the evil-suppressing commander card dropped by Sang Que, and felt sad.
The correct content is in %六九% book'bar!
Xia Chan is a ghost and is at the stage of advancement. With the help of Doctor Ling, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
He Buning walked up to Xia Chan and spoke softly. Xia Chan wiped away her tears, put away the token, still refused to speak, and just nodded sullenly to show her agreement.
The arrangements he made before leaving Tianliang City ultimately failed to work.
Her identity was too special. The matter of Yin Tong was a small matter, but the other matter would only bring her fatal disaster. He had no other choice.
"What other news do you have? Tell us all at once."
After getting the location map from Xiaoliu, Xia Chan took Xuanyu and rode on a black donkey towards the largest pharmacy in the north of the city.
"Xiao Chan, there are many people injured and sick in the camp outside the city. Can you help me find some medicinal herbs from the ruins of the various medicine shops in the city and send them over?"
Holding up a fire starter and walking into the Evil Ghost Department, He Buning was horrified to find that all the evil ghosts imprisoned in the Evil Ghost Department had disappeared, leaving only the corroded prison door and empty cells.
He Buning and Xiao Liu's faces changed at the same time. Thinking of Cui Cheng and Xiao Wu who were imprisoned inside, He Buning immediately took Xiao Liu and rode into the city.
It’s Cuicheng.
It was dark inside, the air was damp and cold with a smell of blood, and there was the sound of dripping water.
He Buning was also very sad, but he had experienced such situations too many times.
After that night, Qin Ze searched everywhere but couldn't find his family.
The two horses galloped past, leaving a cloud of dust in the air. The ragged people bent over and picked up things in the ruins.
Qin Ze's voice came from outside the tent. He Buning bowed to the governor and said, "Your Excellency the Governor has more experience than me in this regard. I hope you can lead the others to come up with a plan to settle the people and rebuild Wangshan City as soon as possible."
Although the governor of Qinzhou, who was sitting at the top, had a higher official position than He Buning, at this moment he could only look at He Buning and wait for his decision.
He Buning and Xiao Liu arrived and wanted to show concern for Xia Chan, but Xia Chan took the steamed bun and sat aside to eat it quietly.
Not counting the gambler ghosts, there were a total of sixteen fourth-level evil ghosts, and three fourth-level jumping corpses, one of which was subdued by him and Sang Que in the Ziyun Mountain bandit camp.
If the war spreads to Wangshan City, they will not be able to protect so many civilians. Now they can only wait for news from Shengjing, wait for Shengjing to send a new general, and then transfer troops from Jinzhou to stabilize the situation.
The city was full of ruins, and not a single house was intact. The people who did not want to leave took advantage of the daytime to search through the collapsed houses. Some were looking for the bodies of their relatives, and some were looking for property and food.
Afterwards, he volunteered to lead people to search Wangshan City. It was impossible to find any living people, and the only things worth rescuing were food and supplies in the Evil Suppression Bureau.
He Buning continued to search deeper and found another crack. In front of the crack stood another corpse with black bones.
He Buning thought of a person, Jiuge's bell doctor, who traveled around practicing medicine and had superb life-saving skills.
The Ghost Troupe had a careful plan this time. If something hadn't gone wrong in Wangshan City, the entire Qinzhou would have been under the control of the Ghost Troupe.
When He Buning passed by, although his horse was going fast, he still saw many people gathered in one place and heard some people saying things like "war", "escape", and "be careful of being caught and forced to do hard labor".
He Bu Ning spoke, Qin Ze came back to his senses, and restrained his sad expression, "Captain, the passage to the Evil Ghost Department has been dug out, but the situation is not good, you'd better go and take a look."
Xiao Liu rode up on horseback and said to He Bu Ning, "We just received the news of the war, but for some reason, it has spread among the people. Now many people are planning to flee Qinzhou and settle elsewhere. Captain, should we stop them?"
Ever since Sangque disappeared, Xiachan has never smiled again and is unwilling to talk to anyone, but when help is needed, she always rushes to the front, as if she had grown up overnight.
Logically, after the Demonic Department was completely sealed, it should have been a seamless structure, but at this moment, the right side of the gate was hit by something and a crack appeared.
He Buning deduced that it was very likely that when Yu Da lost control, the ghost in his body penetrated into the ground and attacked from both inside and outside with the power of the No. 1 Ghost, causing the wall of the Evil Ghost Department to crack and the ghosts to escape.
"Captain He! It's urgent!"
He Buning immediately turned sideways and squeezed in through the crack.
He Bu Ning's face was as gloomy as water, thinking about the poison master who escaped from Tianliang City. He was able to poison the people in the Evil Suppression Bureau. He was afraid that he had planned it long ago.
As soon as the two came out, they saw Qin Ze, who was bearded and unkempt, standing there, and fell into a daze again.
He Bu Ning thought for a while and said, "Too many people gathering outside the city will easily cause chaos. If an epidemic is caused, it will be another disaster. It would be better if they can find another way to make a living."
After finding the gate to the Evil Ghost Department, He Buning finally understood what Qin Ze was talking about.
"In addition, the three counties and nearly a hundred villages surrounding Wangshan City have been affected by this earthquake. Houses and fields have been damaged to varying degrees and need to be rebuilt. In addition, the number of reported strange cases has increased significantly recently. All places are requesting support from the Suppression Bureau of Evil."
He also hoped that Sang Que would be safe and sound, but now, no one knew where she was.
Under the mountain wall behind the ruins of the Suppressing Evil Office, Xia Chan, with her black hair parted in two, pushed away the surrounding rubble and wood. It was all thanks to Xia Chan that they were able to dig out the Evil Ghost Office buried underneath so quickly.
The old governor sighed, "There are still more than 10,000 people in Wangshan City who are displaced and have nowhere to settle down. They are short of food and medicine. Now the war has broken out in various parts of Qinzhou. If we can't settle these people down in time, there may be changes, which will have far-reaching consequences!"
When Fengning City was rebuilt, a lot of corvee labor was collected from the surrounding villages and county towns. Now it is Wangshan City's turn, and I am afraid that the same thing will happen in the end.
"Fifth Brother..."
The number one ghost ran away, and all the evil ghosts imprisoned in the Evil Ghost Department ran away.
He Buning quickened his pace and looked around, leaving no one behind! In the cell where the gambler was originally imprisoned, He Buning saw the empty coffin. In the coffin was a severely decayed corpse with black bones. Judging from his height, it was General Cao.
Xiao Liu swallowed his saliva and said, "In addition to Tianliang City, there are wars in the east and west of Qinzhou. This news was brought by the five ghosts of the Taoist sect. Now people in various cities are in a panic. It is also the spring farming season, so the cities are unable to send troops to support Wangshan City."
Qinzhou is no longer safe. He Buning knows that he will have no time to take care of Xia Chan by then. He has to find a good place for Xia Chan, a place that is conducive to her growth.
When everyone present heard this, they felt disappointed.
But to find the bell doctor, you need a bit of luck and fate.
Xiaoliu walked behind and came back here again. He was overwhelmed with sadness and Xiaowu’s parting instructions seemed to be still echoing in his ears.
The corpse held a ring-handled broadsword in his hand, which pierced his chest. The mask, official seal and token all fell to the ground beside him.
Xuan Yu recovered a little and lay on a rock to bask in the sun. The black donkey also always followed Xia Chan and became Xia Chan's means of transportation.
He Buning opened the fire and blew on it. As the fire lit up, he first looked behind the door. There was only a badly worn Tokachi stone dagger dropped on the ground. It was Xiaowu's.
"cough!"
He Buning sighed distressedly. Although he already knew that Xia Chan was not his biological sister, after spending so much time with her, He Buning had already accepted her as his sister. "Let's go down and take a look first."
He Buning took Xiaoliu and went down through the dug passage.
After saying this, without giving the governor a chance to refuse, He Buning quickly left the tent, followed closely by Xiao Liu.
The fact that Sang Que was controlling Yin Tong could no longer be concealed, so he could only report Sang Que's death and use his identity as a captain to sever the connection between Sang Que and the mask. In this way, the higher-ups could not track down Sang Que through the mask.
Xiaoliu followed in and squatted down facing the dagger. The grief that he had been trying hard to suppress these days burst out. He shrugged his shoulders and bit his lips, trying his best not to cry out loud.
Qin Ze did this simply to find the body, but seven days have passed and he still hasn't found the body, or even a related item.
Passing by the former charity bureau, the black donkey suddenly stopped and started to cry strangely, refusing to move forward.
Xia Chan didn't understand what was going on, so he imitated Sang Que's usual behavior and slapped Black Donkey's head fiercely. Black Donkey had no choice but to turn around and step into the ruins of the Charity Bureau and take a detour.
Not long after the black donkey left with the summer cicada on its back, a hand covered with strange fleshy buds suddenly stretched out from the road that the black donkey refused to walk on, and lifted up the sawdust and bricks that were pressing on it...
I will add one more update today. I need to spend some time organizing the information related to the work.
See you tomorrow~ (End of this chapter)
