Chapter 119 In the Jar

After about two hours, everything was finally ready.

Seven hundred infantry, three hundred archers, and fifty government officials.

In addition, the Zhubing Hall also sent some people to support.

It is composed of 'Xiao Cun Jin' Lu Peipei Xiang Master and thirty Guan Li realm warriors.

This battle is not small!

Such a large number of people were ready to set off, which was enough to cause a sensation and an uproar throughout the city.

In this way, the group set off in a mighty manner and quickly left the city without causing a huge commotion as much as possible.

The army rushed forward at a rapid pace without stopping.

On the way...

Fang Zhixing, Ding Zhigang, Luo Kezhao, Wen Yudong, and Lu Peipei were all squeezed into a carriage.

Not that they liked being crowded together.

no way.

Because of the urgent situation, everyone was in a hurry. They didn't have time to discuss countermeasures, so they could only plan while rushing.

After all, the targets they wanted to hunt were terrifying demons, not ordinary things like wanted criminals.

Luo Kezhao didn't have much expression on his face. He looked at everyone and asked, "Apart from Mr. Ding and I, do you have any experience in hunting monsters?"

Lu Peipei lowered her head slightly, with a respectful attitude, and replied seriously: "No, I have never encountered a demon in my life. However, I have heard several friends talk about demons, and I have a certain understanding of them."

Then, Fang Zhixing nodded and responded: "I have had an experience. Although I have not had close contact with demons, I can still be considered to have participated in the hunt."

Luo Kezhao let out an ooh, a little surprised, and asked curiously: "How did you kill that monster? You didn't let it run away, did you?"

Fang Zhixing replied calmly: "A few friends and I lured the whole village into a mining pit and caught a turtle in an urn. After the demon was exposed, we joined forces to kill it."

"Well, catching a turtle in an urn is not bad."

Luo Kezhao made a moderate comment.

Immediately, he took out a map and spread it out in front of everyone, pointing to the location of Sancha Town, and said carefully:

“Sancha Town got its name because three rivers meet here. The entire town is run through by rivers. The waterways are intricate and there are no mountains around to act as natural barriers.

In such a geographical environment, demons lurk in it, and it is almost impossible to catch a turtle in a urn. "

Fang Zhixing also noticed that this Sancha Town felt a bit like Venice on the sea.

Ding Zhigang nodded and said, "I discovered this problem when I was secretly investigating in Sancha Town.

To besiege Sancha Town not only requires blocking all land routes, but also cutting off all water routes.

To accomplish such a thing, at least five thousand troops are needed.

For us, this is an almost impossible task.

What's worse is that if the demon can dive or fly, then even if we successfully siege Sancha Town, it will be meaningless. "

When Luo Kezhao heard this, he immediately spread his hands and said: "So I said it early, just kill them all, and it will be over."

After talking for a long time, this guy still wanted to cause a massacre, but he just turned a deaf ear to his father's words.

Ding Zhigang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Excellency has given orders, we must find a way to protect Sancha Town."

Luo Kezhao seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and said continuously: "Okay, if you have any good ideas, you can give it a try. I fully support it, but I also have something to say first.

If your method fails, and if the monster escapes in the end, I will not bear the blame. "

After speaking, Luo Kezhao crossed his hands on his chest, leaned back, and looked at everyone coldly.

Ding Zhigang couldn't help but look ugly, Luo Kezhao's attitude was negative, but he was the son of the county magistrate, so he couldn't scold him.

If things go wrong, Luo Kezhao will most likely push him out to take the blame.

Ding Zhigang was anxious, raised his head and looked around, suddenly looked at Fang Zhixing, and asked with a smile: "Brother, do you have any good ideas?"

Fang Zhixing asked: "How did you deal with black disasters before? Do you have better regulations?"

Ding Zhigang raised his hand and wiped his neck, sighing: "Basically kill them all."

Wen Yudong added: "Although this method is a bit cruel, it is very effective and can quickly force the demon to appear."

Fang Zhixing knew it and asked: "Besides this method, the imperial court must have mastered some secret techniques to be able to rule the world stably.

For example, is there a way to quickly detect who is a demon among the crowd? "

Ding Zhigang smiled bitterly and replied: "The special skill of demons is to transform into adults, and their best skill is to hide among the crowd.

If the imperial court has a way to solve this problem, then the demons will naturally be nothing to worry about, and we won't have to mobilize troops like this at all. "

Fang Zhixing was immediately speechless, for he dared not think that the imperial court would be able to deal with the demon.

As soon as a demon appears, the only measure the court can take is to kill, kill, kill!

Just like the operation of removing cancer cells, it is better to remove the lesion and a large piece of surrounding flesh than to let go.

After such a comparison, Fang Zhixing felt that the imperial court was inferior to Master Yun Xin and Feng Guangyi, the latter being obviously more professional.

"Maybe I have an idea."

Suddenly, Lu Peipei spoke.

Everyone looked at her with a look of anticipation on their faces.

Lu Peipei paused for a moment and said seriously: "Since demons like to eat people so much, especially when they are hungry, they can't even control their animal nature.

So, my idea was that we could capture some death row prisoners and fish them. "

Ding Zhigang frowned, thought for a while, and asked: "How to fish? Monsters are not fools, they will not be fooled easily."

Lu Peipei smiled and said: "It is divided into three steps."

“The first step is to spread the news after we arrive in Sancha Town that a group of death row prisoners will be executed.

In the second step, we executed several prisoners in public and dumped their bodies in a mass grave outside the town.

The third step is to lie in ambush near the mass graves, waiting for the monsters to come looking for food. "

Ding Zhigang was suddenly enlightened and asked, "Do you think it's feasible?"

Wen Yudong shook his head and said, "It's not good. The demon may not come out to eat the corpse."

Lu Peipei said: "That's easy. As long as we show up and act like we want to investigate the disappearance case strictly, the demon will be under pressure and will not dare to kill anyone and eat it again. Then it will just eat the corpses."

Wen Yudong retorted: "Doing this may scare away the monsters."

Lu Peipei chuckled and said: "Although I have never hunted monsters, I have heard people mention some of their habits many times.

For example, monsters, like alien beasts, have a strong sense of territory. Once they start hunting somewhere, they will never leave easily until they are full, right? "

Wen Yudong still retorted: "That being said, there are no absolutes."

Lu Peipei clicked her tongue and said, "This won't work, that won't work either. Are you deliberately trying to argue with me, or do you have a better idea?"

Wen Yudong said with a cold face: "I have no other intentions, just discussing the matter."

Ding Zhigang continued: "Everyone wants to destroy the demon, so it is a good thing to pool our wisdom.

In this case, since we can't think of a better way at the moment, why not try following Lu Xiangzhu's method first? "

Luo Kezhao finally spoke again: "What if this method doesn't work?"

"Ah this..."

Ding Zhigang smiled bitterly and said: "If the action fails, everything will be decided by the Second Young Master."

Luo Kezhao immediately turned to Fang Zhixing and asked expressionlessly: "What did you say?"

Fang Zhixing immediately responded: "I will give my full support to the Second Young Master."

"good!"

Luo Kezhao smiled with satisfaction. What he wanted was to fully control the power of life and death.

Afterwards, everyone discussed the details of every specific action of the plan.

Before they knew it, they came to a pavilion ten miles away from Sancha Town.

Luo Shixian, the master of Li Zheng in Sancha Town, has been waiting in Changting for a long time.

However, this Luo Shixian was an old man with a gray beard. He was in his 70s or 80s, and all his teeth had fallen out. He walked tremblingly and couldn't speak well.

The person in charge of greeting was Luo Shixian's concubine Third Yiniang.

This woman is only in her thirties, in her prime, and exudes the aura of a mature woman. She is very much like Wang Xifeng in Dream of Red Mansions, and she has the demeanor of a talkative person in the family.

Third Yiniang bowed her hands and said with a graceful smile: "Welcome to the infantry commander, Mr. Luo, and all your lords."

Luo Kezhao looked at Third Yiniang carefully and said with a smile: "In terms of seniority, I have to call you Third Grandma."

Third Yiniang covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Don't call me that, otherwise, people will mistakenly think that I am very old."

"Hahaha!"

Luo Kezhao laughed heartily, "Okay, then I'll be bolder and call you Third Sister. How about you?"

Third Yiniang said with a satisfied smile: "The relationship is good, let's discuss it ourselves."

Luo Kezhao nodded, and then he explained the plan discussed during the journey.

After hearing this, Third Yiniang's eyes quickly turned twice.

This plan has only two results. One is that the demon is exposed and killed, and the other is that the demon escapes from Sancha Town.

No matter which one it is, it is a good result for Sancha Town.

So, she quickly made a decision, nodded and said: "Okay, I will fully cooperate with you."

Immediately afterwards, Luo Kezhao stationed all the infantry and archers in the woods two miles away from the town.

Afterwards, the group entered Sancha Town.

Fang Zhixing looked around and saw that there were indeed rivers all over the town.

On both sides of the river are stacked buildings with green tiles and white walls.

There are many boats rowing up and down the river.

Third Yiniang called a few boats, boarded them, and took the group of people for a casual walk around the town.

In a blink of an eye, night falls.

"If there is no other explanation, I will start executing according to your plan." Third Yiniang asked cautiously.

Luo Kezhao responded: "This plan has been discussed repeatedly by us. You can just follow it."

The third aunt was calm, and she immediately called her servants and ordered: "According to the order of Mr. Zheng, in view of the continuous disappearance of people in the town, we invited experts from the county to investigate. From now on, everyone will stay at home." You are not allowed to go out at home, and anyone who goes out will be treated as a traitor."

The servant immediately obeyed.

Ding Zhigang led a group of government officials to cooperate and beat gongs and drums in the streets to declare martial law.

Soon, pedestrians on the road went home and closed their doors.

Then, every hour, a group of government officials went from house to house to search and count people.

In this case, if there is no one in the house, the monster will definitely eat it.

It took a whole night of work.

In the blink of an eye, the next day came and the fuss continued.

This lasted for three days!

He is exerting pressure and starving the demon.

In the past three days, except for Ding Zhigang who was extremely busy, everyone else was very leisurely.

Fang Zhixing was bored, so in order to pass the time, he ran to the teahouse to drink tea leisurely and listen to a little song.

Xigou ran over and whispered, "Guess what I saw just now?"

Fang Zhixing squinted and said, "Haven't you been following the Third Aunt these days? What, did I lose?"

Xigou laughed and said, "You lost, I won!"

Three days ago, Xigou found that when Luo Kezhao saw the Third Aunt, he looked at her straight chest with lustful eyes.

So he made a bet with Fang Zhixing.

Sure enough, within three days, Luo Kezhao and the Third Aunt hooked up, and it was like a bolt from the blue.

"Luo Kezhao and the Third Aunt went out shopping and entered a silk shop. The two hid behind the curtain. I saw Luo Kezhao reach out and touch the Third Aunt's buttocks. The Third Aunt not only did not resist, but also looked like she enjoyed it."

Xigou described it in great detail.

Fang Zhixing said speechlessly: "You are so idle, why do you care about that couple?"

Xigou said proudly: "This shows that my vision of women is still very accurate.

To be honest, I can see through the desires of a bitch like the Third Aunt at a glance."

Speaking of this, Xigou laughed and said: "If you take the lead, the Third Aunt will definitely throw herself at you, but it's a pity that you don't listen to my advice."

Fang Zhixing snorted coldly: "What kind of woman can be touched and what kind of woman can't be touched, don't you have any idea in your mind? Even if the Third Aunt hooks up with me, I won't..."

Suddenly, Fang Zhixing stopped, looked out the window, and squinted slightly.

Xigou was stunned and asked, "What happened?"

Fang Zhixing replied, "I seem to see an acquaintance walking quickly into the alley."

Xigou blinked and said, "Who is it? Is there anyone you know in Sancha Town?"

Fang Zhixing pondered and said, "It seems to be Sun Gongchang."

Xigou was surprised and said, "When Luo Xiangpeng's master encountered the water monster, he chose to run away without hesitation and abandoned Luo Xiangpeng."

"Yes, it's him!"

Fang Zhixing nodded, "Although I only had a quick glance, I saw that person's profile, and he really looked like Sun Gongchang."

Xigou asked, "Do you want to chase him and see?"

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, picked up Xigou, jumped down from the upstairs, and flashed into the alley.

However, the alley was empty, without a single ghost.

One person and one dog walked forward.

There was a fork in front, with several alleys.

Xigou smelled around, but didn't smell any special smell.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing had to give up.

On the morning of the fourth day, Ding Zhigang brought five prisoners to the vegetable market.

In front of all the people, he publicly announced: "Fellow villagers, these five people committed crimes and are unforgivable. They must be executed immediately! After they are killed, their bodies will be thrown into the mass grave outside the town, and they will be exposed in the wilderness to serve as a warning to others!"

The five people stuffed rags in their mouths and cried out that they were wronged.

In fact, they were really wronged. They were all ruffians in the town. They ran out during the martial law and were caught and used as bait.

Puff puff puff...

The knife fell, and five heads rolled to the ground.

Then, a carriage came into the sight of everyone and took away five bodies.

As the carriage went, blood was spilled all the way.

Fang Zhixing and others watched this scene with their own eyes.

This was exactly the effect they wanted.

The demons, who had been hungry for three days, were probably unable to hold back under the stimulation of the smell of blood.
