The flames gradually lit up Chengzhou City, and soldiers holding torches began to knock on doors from house to house asking people to evacuate.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Open the door!"
"How brave you are! Do you know who we are?! Our master is a doctor in the Ministry of War in the capital!"
"The soldiers are bullying us - they want to steal our things -"
"We will never leave Chengzhou, even if we die - don't even think about coming in -"
The people's lack of cooperation made the evacuation extremely difficult. Chengzhou had not been evacuated until midnight. General Yuchi slammed the table in anger. Who was bullying whom
On the road leading from the east gate of Chengzhou to the next provincial capital, torches were connected. A long team was slowly moving forward, turning into a thin fire dragon, winding between the mountains and forests. It would take more than one night to evacuate Chengzhou.
In the Taotie's lair, Lian Youyou had already wiped all the swords. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and pulled out the raging flame. The flames went out immediately, but the temperature inside was still high and the surrounding gold began to melt.
Lian Youyou packed up all the swords and dragged them to the exit, shouting, "Heiyan, carry the things."
Hei Yan came in reluctantly and picked up the swords and spears: "I'm not discouraged, but even if I have these, I can't stop thousands of Taotie."
"Okay, what I'm worried about now is not the lack of weapons, but the evacuation from Chengzhou." Lian Youyou rolled up her sleeves and went back with Heiyan.
Hei Yan turned to look at Lian Youyou: "As long as we can stop them in Liangzhou, the cities behind us won't be in danger anymore."
Lian Youyou shook her head: "Liangzhou is too big. The only exit is only for humans. Beasts? They can't be stopped."
Hei Yan's eyes widened: "Then you are just making empty promises for Yuchi Feng and the others!"
Lian Youyou rolled her eyes: "What else can we do? Tell them the truth? Make them lose hope? Humans can only realize their potential when there is hope. Daybreak is almost here, we have to set up traps before daybreak and lead all the Taotie to one place so that they won't run around."
"How do you attract it?" Hei Yan was confused. "The Taotie won't listen to you."
Lian Youyou looked at Heiyan with amusement: "Just give them whatever they like to eat."
"Meat!" Hei Yan shouted, "Where can you get so much meat?!"
“You’ll know when the time comes.” Lian Youyou winked at Heiyan and jumped onto his back. “Get down the mountain quickly.”
The black flames immediately began to gallop through the cold and gloomy night.
It was already three o'clock in the morning at the foot of the mountain, and more and more people were coming. The mountain people who were rescued by the fat Buddha also quickly joined in digging the pit. Lian Youyou really guessed it, these mountain people would not run away unless they saw the monster.
When Yuchi Shaolang went to knock on the village gate in the middle of the night, he was laughed at, saying how could the soldiers of the Qian Dynasty be so weak that they were frightened by a few beasts. Then when Yuchi Shaolang threw half of the beast's head in, everyone saw that the beast's head was as big as a small mountain and immediately opened the village gate and ran away.
Coupled with Fat Buddha's flying artifact, these mountain people believed that gods had descended to rescue them. So after running down, they also volunteered to join the digging team to perform well in front of the gods.
A beast head plus a magic weapon are more useful than the words of the governor Yuchi Feng.
Just as everyone started to add firewood into the pit and pour in lamp oil, rapeseed oil and various oils, Lian Youyou rode down the mountain on Black Flame.
Those who had never seen Lian Youyou first saw Hei Yan and shouted in fear: "The monster is coming down the mountain - the monster is coming down the mountain -"
Everyone around panicked and started running.
Yuchi Feng came over immediately and recognized Lian Youyou at a glance. He immediately shouted: "Don't be afraid! It's the Lotus Goddess!"
When everyone heard that it was the legendary Lotus Goddess, they immediately showed reverence in their eyes and knelt down to welcome Lian Youyou down the mountain.
Black flame leaped over them and landed in front of Yuchi Feng.
Hearing that Lian Youyou had returned, Lin Tingjun and the people from He Shiqi's Nine Sects also returned to Lian Youyou's side. Yuchi Shaolang stood in front of Lian Youyou with reverence and shouted excitedly, "Master!"
The women who were helping on the construction site also looked over curiously. This was the second time that Lu and Yuchi Xiaojing saw Lian Youyou, the legendary goddess who came to save them.
Lian Youyou looked around and saw that everyone was kneeling. She jumped down from the black flame inexplicably and asked, "What are they doing?"
Fat Buddha came closer: "When you are a god, when you are a god."
Lian Youyou curled her lips and smiled. Isn’t she a god
Lin Tingjun and He Shiqi saw Lian Youyou's raised mouth corner and knew that she was feeling proud.
Lian Youyou immediately jumped onto Heiyan's back, towering over him, and looked down at the densely packed crowd kneeling in front of her: "Everyone, stand up! I have something very important to tell you!"
Everyone stood up and looked up at Lian Youyou with reverence and worship. Lian Youyou's white figure had a special halo in the shining firelight, and that halo was just like the light of a true god, dazzling and bright.
Lian Youyou looked at Yuchi Shaolang first: "Have all the people been rescued?"
"They are coming down! There are 3,600 people in six villages, but there are still five villages..." Yuchi Shaolang lowered his head heavily, "There are about 2,000 people in those five villages."
All of a sudden, everyone fell silent. Some sobbed silently, some sighed, and some shook their heads in pain.
When she heard that there were more than 2,000 people, Lian Youyou was also hit hard in the heart.
She calmed down and looked at Yuchi Feng: "Master Yuchi, take your men to Songcheng and Chengzhou immediately to report the news. I believe the prince and your father should have already arrived in Songcheng and Chengzhou respectively."
Yuchi Feng looked surprised and glanced at Lu.
"You already have experience, so take Guo De and Guo Gang to teach them how to use realgar and garlic for self-defense." Lian Youyou continued to instruct.
"Yes!" Yuchi Feng looked at Lian Youyou with confidence. With Lian Youyou here, he didn't have to worry.
“Also, there are 100,000 people in Chengzhou. It’s not easy to evacuate them, but we must clear out the people inside. Even pigs, sheep and cattle cannot be left behind! The method is the same as Shaolang. You take an animal head with you. I believe that the people who refuse to leave Chengzhou will flee faster.” When Lian Youyou finished saying this, the mountain people who had originally laughed at Yuchi Shaolang looked a little embarrassed.
"Okay! Guo De and Guo Gang, pull the carriage and drag the animal head!" Yuchi Feng waved his hand, and Guo De and Guo Gang immediately rushed to Songcheng with Yuchi Feng.
Lu and Yuchi Xiaojing chased out, and Yuchi Feng held their hands: "The government office is the safest place now, you should go back as soon as the day breaks!"
"I know, husband. You should be more careful too." Lu once again tightened the sulfur medicine bag on Yuchi Feng's belt.
"Dad..." Yuchi Xiaojing hugged Yuchi Feng tightly. This was the first time she was worried. She never worried about her father going to war before, because her father was the most powerful general and the enemy would be terrified. But today, it was a terrible monster and she was really scared. (To be continued)
