I came to this world to enlighten the gods

Chapter 67 Hell on Earth
Wang Yuankui and Song Kai's intentions were obvious. They planned Li Qing back then and naturally they had to guard against Li Qing's revenge, so they would forcibly suppress his military achievements. It would be even better if they could keep the military achievements for themselves.

"I will lead my troops to kill these two villains."

The more Li Yuanlong thought about it, the more angry he became. The imperial court was corrupted by these shameless officials.

"Don't be impulsive"

Li Qing scolded, at this time, killing officials must rebel, and the entire army of Jiaozhou will be dispatched to deal with him. With his current strength, he is completely hitting a stone with an egg.

The army needs to be trained, the weapons need to be forged, and the food needs to be accumulated. He is not ready for any of these, so he can only let these two go temporarily.

Li Yuanlong sat down angrily. He has an impulsive personality but is not stupid. He can clearly distinguish the priorities. It is not yet time to kill officials and rebel.

Li Qing ignored Li Yuanlong's question to Zhong Zhengye: "I'm afraid these two people are still spreading rumors in the county that I am secretly training soldiers and horses with the intention of rebellion, so they were transferred to Longchuan as the chief secretary. As long as I refuse to appoint That shows that there is a real intention of treason, and the army will follow."

Zhong Zhengye was ashamed, the lord had guessed everything about the situation in the county from hundreds of miles away, but he was so ashamed that he ran around every day but had no results.

Not allowing him to continue to immerse himself in guilt, Li Qing continued to ask: "You must know something about the situation in Longchuan County, what's the situation now."

Zhong Zhengye was stunned by Li Qing's continuous questioning, and he replied mechanically: "Longchuan County and Panyu County both belong to Nanhai County, where the essence of the whole county is originally located, and Jiaozhou Salt Field was originally located in Longchuan County, but it's a pity that there were three years ago. I don’t know why the number of evil spirits suddenly increased, and even formed a ghost zone at the most terrifying time. At present, except for the county town, other townships seem to be ghost zones at night, and the salt farm has also moved to Panyu County.”

"Ghost domain?"

Li Qing had never seen this kind of place before. If it was true, it meant that a ghost king was about to be born nearby. In the past, Daoist sects would deal with it in the heyday of Daqing, but now they are too busy fighting for dragons to care about it.

If someone really had the heart of rebellion, he would naturally not choose this kind of place, but would he be afraid?

Immediately said: "I have decided, let's go to Longchuan County."

"My lord, think twice"

Zhong Zhengye came to his senses. If it was before, they would not be afraid of mere ghosts, but how could they deal with so many evil spirits now, not to mention that a mere master does not have much real power.

Li Qing waved his hand to signal to Zhong Zhengye that needless to say, he had made up his mind, Zhong Zhengye saw the crisis, but he did not see the benefits. Panyu is too close to the county town to be the foundation of the king's business, but Longchuan is different, there is a large population, As long as the problem of evil spirits attacking the living people is solved, Long Chuan is in his pocket, and he can formally start a rebellion after half a year of peace of mind. There is not much time left for him.

After the decision, it was decided to accompany the personnel this time. There are officers and soldiers guarding outside Longchuan County. It is obviously unrealistic to bring all the troops there. The best way is to sneak in in batches.

It can't be left here either, people must be left behind to guard it. Li Qing is not bad at governing, but he has no experience in leading troops, so he must leave enough troops to deter the county government.

In the end, it was decided that Li Yuanlong would lead two teams of soldiers to stay here, plus the inspection team and one team in the cottage, leaving a total of four teams with a total of [-] elites. Wei Ziping, Hou Yuanxun, and Wei Xingchang then led their troops into Long Sichuan County.

As for Shi Hongyu, he led the cavalry as personal guards and accompanied Li Qing to Longchuan County. The cavalry hid their weapons well and the county town would not notice if they were not wearing uniforms.

Without further ado, Li Qing handed over the military power of the inspection team to Li Qing on the same day. Li Qing was very reluctant to give up, but he also knew that there was no way to do it, as an official would have to wander around.

He still doesn't know the situation in Longchuan County, otherwise he will stop Li Qing from going anyway, and now he thinks that Li Qing left because of a promotion, and he secretly swears in his heart that he must guard his family property and wait for Li Qing to return.

After explaining the matter, Li Qing led a team of cavalry to set off. The expanded cavalry team moved very fast, and with enough dry food and silver, there was no difficulty along the way.

It was rare for Li Qing to relax. He observed Jiaozhou's geography, human customs and features along the way. Jiaozhou, which has not yet been developed on a large scale, has a special flavor. The beautiful mountains and rivers make people linger and forget to return.

Walking all the way and sightseeing, I soon came to Longchuan County, where the population began to decrease. If it weren't for the road card set up by the officers and soldiers in front, I would have thought I was in a wild land.

Shi Hongyu went to negotiate with the chief secretary's appointment letter, and the guards were more talkative than ever before, and let the group of people go, but their eyes revealed gloating intentions.

"There can be a team of officers and soldiers guarding here, and there is at least a battalion of soldiers around Longchuan. With so many troops, why can't the evil spirits be wiped out?"

Li Qing sighed, speaking of it, it was still the government's inaction. He always thought that these were the affairs of the Forbidden Ghost Division, and he was afraid of the evil ghosts, so he let it go. I don't know if the ghost king is born, the eunuch will be reprimanded. They are all low-level officials. , and the imperial court doesn't care about it now, so naturally no one is willing to stand out, and it is the common people who suffer in the end.

The horrors I saw became more and more shocking as I walked forward. Many villages had been deserted. Sleeping in the deserted villages at night was creepy, as if the entire village had suddenly disappeared.

This was the case for several villages he passed by, and Li Qing's heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley. What's the point of coming here if Longchuan County is deserted.

His emotions quickly infected the entire army, and the group walked forward feebly. After turning over a mountain in front, they were at the heart of Longchuan County.

Li Qing had just climbed to the top of the mountain and suddenly found that there was smoke rising from the village below. This discovery made the whole team lively, as long as someone showed up, it was fine. I haven't seen a living person for three days.

"Speed ​​up, let's go to the village to recuperate"

Li Qing also regained his energy and accelerated his forward speed. All the cavalry led the horses and walked forward quickly. The horses could only be led up and down the mountain, and the speed was not fast.

It took half an hour to finally reach the outskirts of the village. Judging from the scale, it should be a big village, and the scene inside is also very rich, with bursts of meaty smell.

Urging the horses into the village, the village seemed to have not seen outsiders coming for a long time, and they all looked at them with strange eyes, but the clothes on these people were very broken.

Shi Hongyu frowned and said, "It's amazing how big the world is. Since the people in this village have money to eat meat, they don't want to make a few new clothes."

"yes"

Li Qing looked at Shi Hongyu with strange and cold eyes, his face was ugly. Shi Hongyu followed him for a long time, and knew that this was the expression of extreme anger.

"Look at these people with sallow faces and protruding eyeballs, do they look like meat eaters?"

Shi Hongyu observed carefully that it turned out to be the case, not only that, there seemed to be too many people on the side of the road, the village only had a few hundred households, and I saw thousands of people along the way, judging from the smell of meat from every household, it was very Some people haven't come out yet, which is very strange.

Curious: "Then where do they get the money to eat meat?"

Li Qing pointed to the crowd on both sides and said quietly: "Aren't these all meat?"
"what!"

Shi Hongyu exclaimed, and immediately the cavalry who followed got off their horses and began to vomit. Shi Hongyu was not surprised. When he just asked about the smell of meat, he thought of going to the village to buy some meat to satisfy his hunger. At this time, let alone eating meat, even vegetarians would spit it out.

Fighting on the battlefield is one thing, but cannibalism is really terrifying.

Li Qing's eyes are cold, this place is really a hell on earth!

　Thank you Yin Yang Sage Emperor for the reward.
