The knights didn't say a word, they didn't even dare to look back.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing. They were afraid that they would hear the sound of horse hooves coming from behind. The hand holding the weapon had already turned white and was trembling constantly.
It's not that they've never seen someone kill someone, it's just that they've never seen anyone kill someone so fiercely. Before even saying a few words, they all cut off their heads, one by one. Who wouldn't be afraid of this?
Lu Yao pursed his lips at this moment and moved forward like this for a long time.
He finally said, "Are they behind you?"
The knight who has been following the carriage is not as armored as the other knights. He wears very simple clothes and has a somewhat scholarly attitude.
He glanced back secretly. In the distance, several knights were staring in their direction with murderous intent. At this moment, the man's scalp was numb.
"Still following, still following."
Lu Yao's heart trembled, "What should we do? If we charge at full speed now, can we rush into Cheng'an County before them?"
"No, we are still some distance from Cheng'an County. These ruthless bandits have fast horses. If we alert them, we will definitely be killed by the bandits."
Lu Yao was very unwilling, "How could there be such a bad person under the emperor's feet??"
"Mr. Lu, I see they are all wearing official uniforms. Could they be officials from Cheng'an? If you can reveal your identity"
"No, who knows if they will kill me and silence me after knowing my identity?"
"Just keep going."
They walked like this for a long time, and there was a sound of insects chirping from the bushes on both sides of the road. The scorching sun still hung in the sky, and everyone's shadows were stretched very long. For some reason, the time passed really slowly.
They just kept their heads down and hurried on, the sound of insects making them even more upset.
The man quietly turned around again.
Far away, those vicious men were looking in their direction, motionless.
The man's eyes were full of despair.
"Mr. Lu, they are still following us."
The man looked forward again, but quickly stopped the carriage.
Lu Yao quickly asked: "What happened again??"
"Dead people. So many dead people. We are surrounded by the dead!!"
Lu Yao hurriedly got out of the carriage and said, "Among the capital, there can be..."
Before he finished speaking, he was stunned. Looking around, the front seemed to be occupied by the dead. There were people like walking corpses everywhere, so densely packed that Lu Yao suddenly thought of using one word to describe them.
Ant thief.
Lu Yao had never seen so many dead people, and he didn't know where they came from. Several dead people seemed to have discovered their carriage.
At this moment, the horse was looking straight at them, with green light shining in its eyes.
Lu Yao looked at this scene and was completely shocked.
He knew that Chengan was comforting the dead, but why were there so many dead?
Is it possible that the entire Daqi people have gathered here?
Several people turned around stiffly and faced Lu Yao and others. Then, they slowly moved their bodies and forced themselves towards Lu Yao and others.
Even the horses under their crotches felt the malice coming from these 'corpses', and the horses neighed.
More and more dead people discovered them and stopped one after another.
At the same time, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.
The gang of thieves finally stopped hiding and started running towards us.
Lu Yao raised his head and sighed.
He looked around and said softly: "I am too old to run away, but you are still young, so hurry up and escape on horseback."
The man next to Lu Yao became anxious, "Mr. Lu, I'll help you mount your horse. You go first, and we'll stop you!"
"There are wolves in front of me and tigers in the back. There is no need to sacrifice your life for me. Just go."
"If you run away, don't go to the county town, otherwise you will be arrested and questioned. Don't be a bandit and hurt others. Just go back to your hometown. My brother will not blame you."
The knights looked at each other and gritted their teeth and said, "Mr. Lu is very kind to us, how can we escape! I am willing to die with Gong Lu!!"
The sound of horse hooves could be heard in their ears, and everyone was ready to die.
The atmosphere is tragic.
The giant green horse suddenly stopped and raised its front hooves, scaring the knight's sword out of his hand.
The strong man looked at the dead people, "What do you want to do?!"
The strong man's voice was extremely loud, like thunder, and Lu Yao was shocked.
The dead man stopped and looked up at him, "Begging for food."
"Keep going! There will be food when we get to Cheng'an!"
"Walk!!!"
The man yelled again.
The deceased just looked at him blankly, motionless and completely motionless.
When Lu Yao saw the corners of the man's eyes twitching, he already guessed the result.
The horse rushed forward, the sword flashed, and the dead man's head flew high. The people around the guy were not afraid at all, and wanted to rush to kill him. The strong man swung the sword several times, and several more heads flew up.
Blood spurt.
Lu Yao took a few steps back this time to prevent the head from falling into his arms again.
"Get away, everyone!!"
The man shouted again, his body covered in blood, and he looked like an evil ghost. The dead man was terrified and did not dare to stop. He turned around and continued to move forward.
Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the strong man, "This one."
The strong man looked at him and interrupted him unceremoniously, "Xiong, bring these idiots who don't know whether to live or die to the official road!"
"Keep an eye on the road, don't let passers-by hurt the dead, and don't let the dead hurt pedestrians."
"only!!"
When the strong man rode away with the rest of the people on his horse, there was only a tall foreigner with slightly curly hair and green eyes left.
The Hu man signaled these people to follow him, and then took the initiative to leave the road.
Everyone looked at Lu Yao, who nodded, and then everyone followed.
Lu Yao did not get into the carriage this time. He also chose to ride a horse. He looked at the Hu man leading the way and suddenly asked: "Is this gentleman an official of Cheng'an?"
"Yes, I am Cheng'an's cavalry officer."
"I see. And that gentleman just now?"
"Oh, he is Youyou."
Lu Yao laughed.
Yao Xiong turned around suddenly and stared at him unkindly, "Are you laughing at my brother?"
"How dare you, how dare you, it's just that I have never seen such a wandering, it is really brave."
Hearing this man praise Liu Taozi, Yao Xiong was overjoyed. He said proudly: "That's natural. The four warriors under Changsun Gong's command combined are no match for my brother!"
"These four people all came back from the frontier. It is said that one of them can fight ten worms. My brother can fight at least 40 worms each!"
"I see."
Lu Yao was chatting with Yao Xiong at this moment, quietly asking about some news in the city.
"Is this Mr. Youyou not a wealthy local businessman?"
"That's natural. My brother is not big. Who dares to say that he is big?"
As they chatted, they finally came to the main road. There were far fewer dead people here, and some pedestrians could be seen. It was not as dangerous as before.
Yao Xiong didn't say much, waved his hand, and rode away.
The man next to Lu Yao narrowed his eyes at this moment, "Mr. Lu, it seems that this wealthy family in Cheng'an is very arrogant. With you dressed like this and accompanied by knights, who can't see your official status?"
"And the officials in Cheng'an actually don't care about you, as if they don't care about your identity at all."
"This doesn't make sense. I think maybe this is not a coincidence at all, maybe they are here to demonstrate for us!"
"If a big family in the city has no one to support them, they will never dare to have the courage to do so. It's either the county magistrate or the county lieutenant, or it could be the county captain."
Listening to this man's analysis, Lu Yao couldn't help but look at him, "The county magistrate has left to take up his post elsewhere, how could it be him?"
The man shook his head and said, "Mr. Lu, the county prince is also from a clan. Don't forget, who can understand the virtues of the clans in Ye City and what they want to do? Who can guess?"
Lu Yao frowned, "It's not always like this."
"It's either him or the county magistrate."
The man took out the paper from his sleeve and read it for a moment. "This county magistrate is from the Lu family in Yangping. He studied Confucian classics and became an official. He was transferred and dismissed many times. He was promoted to county magistrate not long ago."
"As for the county captain, there is no need for him to come to demonstrate to you. The matters he is responsible for have nothing to do with us. He is responsible for public security in the capital."
The group of them finally arrived outside Cheng'an City, but the surrounding area had already been occupied by the refugees. The huge crowds of people were like rogues attacking the city, which was really scary.
Lu Yao pursed his lips, worried.
“It’s not easy to handle”
