Chapter 41 Our luck is so good!
Zhuangqiu County has three towns and five towns under its jurisdiction.
Faced with the attacks of the Five Plagues Demons, the most dangerous thing is these towns.
Compared with Zhuangqiu County, these townships have weak force and no masters are in charge, so they are easily attacked by evil demons.
Except for two teams left behind to patrol the county town, the other soldiers of the Knight Guard were all sent to various towns.
The team of Xiaoqi Guards where Du Heng was located rushed out of the county town and hurried to Xiahe Town forty miles south of the city.
Five veterans from the first team, plus Du Heng, a non-staff member, a group of six people rode fast horses and rushed along the post road outside the city.
In less than half an hour, everyone had arrived outside Xiahe Town.
"Stop moving forward!"
The leader of the team leader gave the order, and everyone tied the reins and stopped outside Xiahe Town.
"This time, we may encounter a plague messenger under the command of the Five Plague Demons."
The sergeant turned around and glanced at everyone. His eyes focused on Du Heng for a moment, and said, "The most terrifying thing about the plague messenger is the plague poison gas he spreads. Once he finds any physical discomfort, use the detoxification pill immediately and report it to me in time. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Everyone accepted the order in unison.
Du Heng also answered, but he was thinking in his heart, Detoxification Pill... This thing may not be effective!
Viruses and toxins are not the same thing. My purification and healing techniques may be more useful than detoxification pills.
"keep going!"
The sergeant waved his hand and led everyone to the entrance of Xiahe Town.
It was still night at this moment, and the simple wooden village gate of Xiahe Town was closed, and there were a few militiamen standing above them holding torches patrolling the night.
"Who is coming?"
A shout came from above the village gate?
"Chaal Guard!"
The sergeant immediately stepped forward and threw a waist sign on it.
"Damn it! Why are there any cavalry guards coming? What happened?"
An exclaim broke out from the walled city.
After a moment, the closed village door hurriedly opened. A middle-aged man wearing leather armor and an unyielding knife hung around his waist hurriedly ran up.
"Xiahe Town inspector Zhang Dahe, please see you all."
The middle-aged man stepped forward to salute and asked everyone: "You guys are here in person, I wonder what happened?"
"You will know later!"
The sergeant waved his hand, "Call the militias from the inspection center, close all street intersections in the town, and prohibit all personnel from entering and leaving. Take action immediately!"
"yes!"
Inspector Zhang Dahe's face turned solemn and he quickly took the order.
The sergeant turned his head and looked at Du Heng and others, "You, work with the militia to investigate all households."
Speaking of this, the sergeant paused for a moment and reminded him: "Be careful!"
"clear!"
Everyone held their fists and took the order.
The sergeant waved his hand and said, "Action!"
Everyone rushed into the town, followed the inspector Zhang Dahe, and hurried to the inspection center.
More than twenty militiamen were gathered in the inspection office, divided into several teams, and set out to block the streets and intersections in the town.
"Du Heng, follow me!"
The sergeant greeted Du Heng and hurried out with Zhang Dahe and several other militias from the inspection station.
Du Heng hurriedly followed.
Du Heng felt a little grateful for the actions of the sergeant.
It is obvious that this is because Du Heng is a novice. The sergeant was worried that he had no experience and took him with him directly, which was a bit of care.
After leaving the house, Zhang Dahe bowed to the sergeant, "Is this great man's surname?"
"My surname is Yao!"
The sergeant answered casually and waved his hand again, "Stop talking nonsense, lead the way."
"Yes! Yes!"
Zhang Dahe nodded and agreed, and hesitated, "Mr. Yao, do you want to inform Li Zheng?"
"You send someone and ask him to come."
Chief Yao was a little impatient, "Okay, hurry up and lead the way."
"yes!"
Zhang Dahe nodded quickly and immediately sent a militia to inform Li Zheng, and then hurried to a street in the town with Du Heng and his party.
This "storm" movement also alarmed the residents of the town. Many houses had lighted up, and some men, carrying shoulder poles and hatches, opened the door.
"The cavalry guards chased the thieves, and each household should immediately close their doors. No one else is allowed to go out, otherwise... they will be punished by the bandits and will be killed without any attention!"
Zhang Dahe shouted all the way according to the commander's instructions, warning the people not to go out.
When the people heard this, the cavalry guards arrested bandits? Oh, that's fine, do whatever they should do.
After closing the street, the sergeant commanded Zhang Dahe: "Take your people with you and go to various households to check. If you find someone infected with a disease or other abnormal situations, you will immediately report it."
"yes!"
Zhang Dahe quickly took the order and led two militiamen to knock on the door along the street to inspect the residents on both sides of the street.
"Du Heng."
The sergeant turned his head and looked at Du Heng, saying, "You should go with me and patrol the streets. Stay alert. Once a plague messenger is found, be sure to intercept with all your strength and not escape."
"yes!"
Du Heng held his fists and took the order, followed the sergeant, patrolling along the street one after another, alerting to any movement on both sides of the street.
However...thing seems to be going very smoothly.
Zhang Dahe led the militia all the way to investigate, but no problems were found.
"Maybe... the plague messenger didn't come?"
The sergeant turned his head and looked at Du Heng, grinning, "It seems that we are lucky."
"yes!"
Du Heng nodded with a smile, "Good luck."
As he was talking, Du Heng saw that Zhang Dahe had inspected the last resident and walked out with two militiamen.
Du Heng suddenly felt...it seemed to be overlooking something.
"wrong!"
Du Heng was shocked and turned his head to look at Chief Yao, "The militia who went to find Li Zheng has not come back!"
"Um?"
Commander Yao's face changed and he quickly shouted: "Zhang Dahe, where is Li living?"
"Li Zheng?"
Zhang Dahe was stunned and remembered that the militia sent to call Li Zheng did not come back, and something must have happened.
"It's at the intersection of town." Zhang Dahe quickly answered.
"Zhang Dahe, you take people to guard the streets and don't let anyone enter and exit!"
Commander Yao gave an order to Zhang Dahe, and waved his hand to Du Heng, "Du Heng, come with me!"
As he said that, Commander Yao jumped up and flew towards the intersection of the town.
Du Heng quickly followed and jumped up.
The two of them galloped all the way and soon arrived at the intersection of the town.
There is a single-family courtyard here, covering an area of more than ten acres.
Obviously, this is Li Zheng’s house.
At this moment, red lanterns were lit in the courtyard, which seemed to be brightly lit, but... there was a silence inside, without any sound.
Under the red lights, the dead courtyard exudes a scattered strangeness.
"Sure enough, something happened!"
Mr. Yao's face was solemn, and he reached out to take out a messaging talisman and sent a message to the other team members: "Let's crossroads at the town center."
With a "clang" sound, Chief Yao turned his head and glanced at Du Heng, grinned, "Our luck... is good!"
Du Heng rolled his eyelids and blamed me?
