Hong Yu yawned and said helplessly, "There's no other way. If we want to deal with those living dead quickly, my little darling is the best. As for other things, you don't have to worry. I originally promised Mo Yu to help him take care of Tang Chen. I have to pay some attention to her affairs and the people she cares about. Okay, you guys get the team ready first. I'll go do my work first. The sooner I finish, the sooner I can go back."
...After leaving Jingji, Hong Yu rushed all the way to Shi Zairong. Shi Zairong took time out of his busy schedule and followed Xiao Liang to the dungeon they had previously dug underground.
However, when Shi Zairong saw the army of the living dead that Xiao Liang joyfully showed him, the smile on his face instantly turned as cold as ice: "Military Advisor Xiao, these are..."
Xiao Liang proudly introduced it to Shi Zairong, "According to the Grand Tutor, after planting the poisonous insects, it won't be long before these become our army to defeat Liang State and Beimo."
Shi Zairong smiled coldly: "Oh, a large army?"
How could he not remember the ultimate goal they had agreed upon, which was to use the Gu to restore control to those paralyzed, rather than transforming them into something half-human and half-ghost. When he first came up with this idea, he saw the vast number of people who had been disabled by war and various other factors and were unable to move properly. He was thinking about how to utilize these people, and that's when he took in the two traitors who had stolen the Huangfu family's Life-Resilience Gu and escaped.
Xiao Liang thought Shi Zairong still didn't understand something, so he added, "Yes, Grand Master. As long as we have the queen insects in the hands of those two brothers, we can continuously replenish our combat power through these dying people. They've previously experimented with dying soldiers on the battlefield, and the results were remarkable."
Before he could finish, Shi Zairong slapped him hard in the face with a "slap", and Xiao Liang fell to the ground.
Xiao Liang fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, completely bewildered. He didn't seem to have done anything wrong. Wasn't everything going smoothly according to Shi Zairong's plan? What happened all of a sudden? "Grand Master..."
Shi Zairong said coldly, "Is it that I didn't explain myself clearly at the beginning, or is there something wrong with your and Xie Zhuangshui's ability to understand?"
Xiao Liang covered his face and got up from the ground, still not understanding where he had done wrong: "Grandmaster, this, isn't this the same as you imagined at the beginning?"
Shi Zairong was so frustrated that he almost threw the fan Hong Yu had given him to the ground. "How can this be the same? Don't tell me you don't know how quickly these poisonous insects reproduce. One bite can infect you. If these numbers are released, it won't just be a matter of Liang and Beimo being annexed by Nanyue. It's a matter of all three of us perishing at the hands of these undead!"
Xiao Liang hurriedly said, "Grandmaster, you don't have to worry about this! If you think there are too many, we can just kill them in waves. As long as the mother insect dies, these larvae will die with it!"
Shi Zairong's hand, just as he was about to raise it to slap Xiao Liang again, trembled for a moment before he confirmed, "Are you serious?"
Xiao Liang swallowed hard and said quickly, "Those two brothers promised me they wouldn't make any mistakes. They've tried it before, in front of the general and me, and when the mother insect was half dead, the larvae did indeed behave in the same way. However, the life or death of the larvae had no effect on the mother insect at all."
After calming down his agitated mood, Shi Zairong said, "Alright, call them both over here, now. Also, have them bring the poisonous insect over to me as well."
"Yes, I'll do it right away, right away!"
When Xiao Liang ran up to look for people, Shi Zairong was standing alone in the dungeon, looking at the dungeons full of living dead in front of him. For a moment, he thought he was watching a movie. It didn't feel very good, really not very good.
When he heard footsteps, Shi Zairong hurried to meet them. However, what he saw was Xiao Liang, who was extremely panicked: "Grand Master..."
Shi Zairong tightly grasped the folding fan in his hand. He had a very bad premonition: "Where are those people? Don't tell me they ran away."
Xiao Liang slumped to his knees, lowering his head and saying, "...the northwest courtyard is deserted!"
After Shi Zairong kicked Xiao Liang, he also slapped himself hard in the face: "I must have been possessed by a demon to have thought of taking in these two traitors. What are you still standing here for? Send someone to find them!"
This was completely different from what Huangfu Zhong had told him before. He also knew that this person was not a good person, but he had not expected that he would dare to do such a terrible thing behind their backs. If he could not deal with the matter quickly, there would be endless troubles. He did not want the ancient version of the Resident Evil to happen because of him, as that would be a really big sin.
Seeing that Shi Zairong was really angry this time, Xiao Liang quickly crawled out of the dungeon, holding his stomach: "I understand!"
After Xiao Liang left, Shi Zairong followed him out of the dungeon and told Lian Guang, who was guarding outside, "Lian Guang, have someone... no, do it yourself. Don't let anyone else handle this. I don't trust them. Clean up all of this immediately. Burn it, and then have someone perform a proper ritual."
"yes!"
Huangfu Zhong and Huangfu Xiong, who had no idea what news they had received, took advantage of the chaos in the military camp and fled with all their belongings in the middle of the night, walking on the road in a panic.
After running on the road for two days and two nights without even taking a breath, they found a stream to rest temporarily when they saw that there were no pursuers behind them.
Huangfu Xiong drank a lot of water and said breathlessly, "Brother, if they find out that we ran away with the queen insect, will they..."
Huangfu Zhong interrupted, "It's not a big deal. I tell you, it's not safe to stay."
Huangfu Xiong was completely unprepared for this sudden escape. Huangfu Zhong hadn't told him why he had left all along the way. Now that he could finally catch his breath, he had to find out the reason: "Why? Didn't Shi Zairong promise that as long as we help him, he would take us in and give us gold?"
Huangfu Zhong snorted coldly and said, "Oh, if I hadn't been more careful, we wouldn't know how we would die now!"
Huangfu Xiong said, haven't they always lived well with Shi Zairong? Both sides have been at peace and mutually beneficial. "No, brother, why don't I understand what you mean?"
