polar demon

Chapter 147 Return ([-])

When the sun rose, the people on the wall of Pengcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally dawn," the county magistrate of Pengcheng stayed up all night, and his eye circles were darkened by staying up all night. "How many people died this night?"

At this time, the only one who was with him at the top of the city was Tang Kun, the elder of Star Demon Sea.

Tang Kun's elegant demeanor disappeared even in his exhaustion. He stared at the unburied corpses all over the city, as well as the empty and desperate living people and sighed:

"According to this speed, I am afraid that in another two nights, everyone will die."

In addition to epidemics, there are other things that can kill people.

In such a hell-like environment, despair drives people crazy.

In the past two days, there have been several incidents of mad people massacring others.One of them was a powerful warrior who killed hundreds of people in one night, and was shot dead by the masters sent by Star Demon Sea until after dawn.

Some people also began to feel resentment in their hearts, resenting why they were about to die, while the people in the city were still able to live in peace.

They threw stones stained with pus into the city, and some people with high martial arts skills tried to climb over the city wall at night to spread the disease.

This also caused the officers and soldiers to kill more resentful people and increase their vigilance at night.

However, more people endured all this silently.

Tang Kun saw a family huddled in the grass at the foot of the city wall.

The parents held two young children in their arms, but the two children had already died of illness, and even the corpses began to rot.

But the couple still treated them as if they were still alive, talked to them from time to time, and even planned to feed them some food.

Seeing this tragic scene, Tang Kun slightly shook his head and sighed.

In this disaster, most of the first to die were some frail old and young women and children.

Those who can still live to the present are mostly young and strong with good physical fitness.

As long as the young and strong can survive, they can gradually prosper, and Peng County will have the opportunity to continue to prosper in the future.

Such a statement is too cruel, and even Tang Kun is still hesitating in his heart, can these young and strong people really continue to persevere?

Fortunately, there was no further action to encircle and suppress these patients, and the relief money donated by Jiang Yuan was rich, and a large amount of food was transported out of the city, which also prevented famine among these patients.

The county magistrate on the side suddenly said:

"Last night, there were rumors that demons and ghosts began to appear in the outskirts of the city."

Tang Kun withdrew his mind:

"The matter is true?"

The magistrate shook his head:

"The plague spreads at night, and the night guards don't dare to go out of the city to investigate. Presumably the film circles of your gang don't dare to go out of the city, either?"

Tang Kun nodded, this is the truth, there is nothing to hide.

The magistrate continued:

"Fortunately, the huge flame demon did not continue to show up, otherwise the people in the city would not be spared from this disaster. In order to protect the people in the city from the demons, the night guards have already asked for help from the County General Administration, hoping to send a prisoner The Star Envoy sits in Pengcheng."

Tang Kun frowned when he heard this. Now there is an epidemic exorcist in the city. If there is another star supervisor in Pengcheng, the power of the government will undoubtedly increase greatly.
Following Tang Kun, he smiled wryly in his heart. The most serious thing right now is whether he can survive this plague, and it is too far away to think about the struggle for power and profit.

The county magistrate has been secretly observing the expression of the elder Xingmohai. Just as he was about to continue to say something, there was a commotion among the people in the city.

"What happened?" Tang Kun also noticed the changes of the people.

The county magistrate only thought that the people were about to start a riot, so he hurriedly ordered to the officers and soldiers at the top of the city:

"Don't doze off all of them, sober up for me! Archers are ready!"

The sound of drawing bows and arrows and shaking armor on the wall can be heard endlessly, and the officers and soldiers are ready.

The county magistrate and Tang Kun looked nervously down from the crenel.

All I saw was crowds of people in the city, countless people running towards a certain direction, shouting something constantly.

Those desperate, empty, walking dead people seemed to regain their spirits in an instant, and they ran and shouted hysterically.

The county magistrate and Tang Kun hurriedly looked to the west, which was also the direction of the people's surge.

The light from the sun in the east shines straight on the grassland in the west, making the weeds sway gently, exuding green and vigorous vitality.

A hill crawled slowly on the grass, it was a colossus formed by countless bulging sacks tied together.

The hill was dragged along the ground by an iron chain, and at the end of the iron chain was a man with steady steps.

"Jiang Xiangzhu" Tang Kun, who is a warrior, saw the man clearly first, "It's Jiang Xiangzhu!"

Hearing Tang Kun's excited shout, the county magistrate was also surprised and surprised:
"Could it be that Jiang Xiangzhu really brought back the medicinal materials?"

The two stood excitedly at the top of the wall, watching the man approaching a little bit.

Countless people crowded around him, screaming desperately:

"Jiangxiang Lord! Jiangxiang Lord! Jiangxiang Lord! Jiangxiang Lord! Jiangxiang Lord!."

The officers and soldiers at the top of the city also loosened the bowstrings in their hands one after another, focusing their eyes on Jiang Yuan.

The county magistrate first reacted:

"Hurry up and notify the Disaster Messenger! No, no! Prepare the horse! I'll go in person!"

Saying that, the county magistrate hurriedly ran down the city, and almost fell down when he went down the stone steps.

"Peng County is saved!" Tang Kun was still muttering to himself at the crenel.

Even though he, as the elder of Xingmohai, had fought countless times in his life, he was still turbulent when he saw this scene.

But he also calmed down quickly, and thought quickly in his heart:

"In the future, Pengcheng will split the helm, what should we do?"

The Star Demon Haipengcheng sub-rule will undoubtedly undergo drastic changes.How to protect himself and obtain benefits in this upheaval has become a question that Tang Kun has seriously considered.

Jiang Xiangzhu brought back the eclipse grass to save the people of Peng County.The news spread throughout Pengcheng in just half an hour.

Many people spontaneously beat gongs and drums and took to the streets to tell each other, and some even let go and ran to celebrate.

Countless people rushed to the top of the city one after another, trying to catch a glimpse of Jiang Yuan's demeanor.Their enthusiasm was unstoppable even by officers and soldiers.

The anti-epidemic envoy Fang Qian, who had been hiding in the house for days without seeing any visitors, finally showed up.

He led a group of officers and soldiers out of the city gate to meet Jiang Yuan in person.

When the exorcist personally confirmed that what Jiang Yuan brought back was the eclipse grass, he immediately accepted the medicinal material like the hill and started to prepare the good medicine.

But the whole Pengcheng was boiling over. When Jiang Yuan walked into the city from outside the city, countless people crowded around him, weeping and prostrating and kneeling.

They stretched out their hands one after another, hoping to touch the clothes of this savior-like man.

There were too many crowded people, and even a lot of stampede accidents happened.

This also made the government and Xingmohai join hands to mobilize a large number of people to evacuate the people, and they were very busy.

After several days of indulgence, depression and depression, the entire city regained its vitality and hope at this moment.

Everyone is busy, some are generous, some are selfless, and some are fanatical.

After the mobilization of the city, temporary tents and wooden sheds stretched for miles outside the city, and dead bodies were carried away and buried.At first this seemed unnecessary, but at this moment it seemed particularly urgent.

The anti-epidemic envoy finally had no free time, and the good medicine prepared by busy day and night was continuously distributed to the patients.

Fast horses galloped out of the city with medicinal materials and went to various parts of Peng County to save more patients.

Various legends about Jiang Yuan began to spread in the streets and alleys of Pengcheng. Most of them seemed absurd and unreal, but they became stories that people talked about after dinner.

There was even a voice among the common people, they discussed that the master of Pengcheng should be Jiang Yuan, not the mediocre You Mingxuan.

Such calls became more and more popular, and even most of the gang members in the Star Demon Sea publicly expressed their approval.

But You Mingxuan began to thank the guests behind closed doors, and was absent from several important discussions in the city.

It was even discovered that You Mingxuan had already moved his family members out of Peng County, and it seemed that he had already realized the danger.

However, this kind of upper-level struggle is not what the people care about. What they value more is who rescued them in times of crisis.

Every day people gathered around Jiangyuan's mansion trying to meet people could line up the entire street. In order to maintain the order of Jiangyuan's mansion, the Star Demon Sea even sent hundreds of gangsters to maintain it.

However, Jiang Yuan also began to thank guests behind closed doors, and never showed his face again.

Under Aiwujiwuxia, the servants in the Jiangfu have become the objects of popular admiration.

Even Ye Xianglang, who was able to enter Jiang's mansion, became arrogant. Wherever he went, he was surrounded by many people asking about Jiang Yuan's deeds.

The most fanatical are those patients whose lives were saved.

They often paid respects to Jiang Yuan's mansion outside the city, and many of them made Jiang Yuan's longevity tablets to enshrine.

Some people even declare that Jiang Yuan is the patron saint of Peng County, and only with him in his presence can Peng County be stable.

In such an atmosphere, the plague gradually subsided.

The festered skin of the patients also began to scab, and the condition gradually stabilized.

Many people who have recovered have also begun to embark on the journey back to their hometowns.Patients who are still unable to travel are also well cared for.

Everything is moving in a good direction, even if there are some negative events, it will not change the general trend.

There are fewer and fewer patients outside the city, and even the ban on the city gate of Pengcheng has been lifted.Only at the mass graves in the west of the city can people still hear the heart-piercing cries of the people paying homage to their relatives who died in the plague.

One month later, all the tents set up outside Pengcheng had been dismantled, and there was no patient left outside the city.

In the entire Peng County, there have been few cases of epidemics.

This disaster caused by the plague is passing by little by little.

Although Pengcheng was overjoyed, Jiang Yuan, who had been staying at home, was not at ease.

It's not that he doesn't want to do something these days, but he has other reasons.

The injury Jin Kaijia caused to him has not yet healed. Although the speed of recovery is not slow, it seems that it will take a long time.
