Chapter 1404: Clearing Out the Medicinal Materials
"Ningning, as you said before, the Shenyi Cult has been thinking about Dongqing for so many years, which means that they have actually come to Dongqing a long time ago. Maybe Dongqing has many secrets, and they know them better than us now."
Xiao Lanyuan is more worried about another problem now.
"From the situation we encountered in the Dark City this time, I would rather believe that the casualties in Dongqing back then may be less than outsiders know. In other words, Dongqing may have had several cities or towns where people defended their homes."
He said to Fu Zhaoning, "It's just that due to various reasons, the people who survived couldn't come here, let alone leave Dongqing. It may also be that they felt it was unnecessary, or they didn't know the situation outside and didn't dare to go out."
Fu Zhaoning, Ji Lao and the others were listening to what Xiao Lanyuan said, and they had to say that this was very likely.
"Therefore, the number of living people in Dongqing is much greater than we thought. It is impossible that there is only one Dark City."
Thinking of this, Xiao Lanyuan felt a little complicated.
This is certainly a good thing, something that is enough to make them happy and surprised.
But now it seems that the people of Shenyi Sect entered Dongqing very early, and there has been no movement in the past six months. It is very likely that they have found a camp where they can settle down.
"Now I am worried that those people have been controlled by the Shenyi Cult."
He has returned to inherit Dongqing, so these people are his people. He now regards these people as his responsibility, so naturally he does not want anything to happen to the people.
"Do you think that the people of Shenyi Sect may have controlled many Dongqing people?" Fu Zhaoning said, "and even started to enslave them?"
Ji Lao asked, "Why don't the people of Shenyi Sect seize the capital and the palace?"
After all, if one really wants to occupy Dongqing, the status of the capital city is very high.
Occupying the imperial palace means occupying Dongqing.
Xiao Lanyuan said, "Before today, I was also thinking about this question. But after seeing these poisonous birds today, I suddenly had a guess."
He said solemnly, "It is very likely that they have been waiting for my arrival. They have also been waiting for me to enter the palace. In their view, this capital city, which is still as strong as a rock, has become the best place for them to kill me."
Fu Zhaoning thought about it and understood what he meant.
The capital city is impregnable, but what if the people of the Shenyi Sect do not intend to attack it, but instead plan to poison the outside and surround the city, preventing them from leaving and fighting, and instead killing them by the poison?
After all, the capital city now is not like when Dongqing was prosperous, with a city full of civilians and a large army.
Also, it’s not like before, when we were all familiar with the whole city.
Xiao Lanyuan and his men had just entered the capital not long ago. This place was unfamiliar to them, and they did not have enough troops to defend it.
Even the common people are a minority.
The people of the Shenyi Sect want to occupy Dongqing. The people are also important to them. They definitely need a lot of people to enslave, so they cannot kill people at will outside.
It would be best if Xiao Lanyuan brought his men into the palace.
Concentrate and kill.
This reason is very likely.
Old Ji was furious. "No wonder. You said that we didn't find any medicinal herbs in the underground palace. That's right. They came in a long time ago and cleared out all the herbs. Now they want to use poison. They are sure that we have no medicine to cure them!"
