C174 Developments (continued)

Although they had the advantage of a large number of people, but the ones fighting with them were the elite guards of the King's Manor. Even if they couldn't fight one against a hundred, fighting ten against one wasn't a problem, so some of them still died.

The victims who had been carried on their shoulders, on their backs, or on the backs of a few people had many deep knife wounds on their bodies, and their bodies were stained with blood. They were like soldiers who had come down from the battlefield, riddled with wounds and dripping with blood.

All of them were laughing. Right, they were laughing, and at this moment, their faces were brimming with all kinds of smiles. It was a kind of simple and unadorned smile, so simple that it made one feel intoxicated. Perhaps it was because they were doing such a crazy thing for the first time, or perhaps it was because they were happy that they could fill their stomachs. In short, they were laughing very happily.

Not only was the group of victims running on the ground laughing, but even the group of victims covered in blood, who were being lifted or resisted by the victims, had smiles plastered all over their faces.

That's right, it was the people with wounds all over their bodies. Although their bodies were covered in blood, they were still grinning foolishly. This was not a ghost, nor was it a supernatural event. Furthermore, they were not zombie monsters. They were still human, they were still breathing, they were still alive.

"Alright, we've run quite far. Let's let go of those brothers!" One of the leaders said.

"Village Head, do you think the conditions promised by that group of people can be fulfilled?" If we don't, then we'll waste this fight, right? "I might as well steal a few boxes of silver!" The victims gathered together, one of them said.

"Idiot, others can believe it but we still believe in the words of the white-clothed fairy. If she says there will definitely be one, then she can't lie to us!" "Furthermore, it's not like we did not reap any benefits. Just look at the silver notes and crushed silver, it should be enough for us to eat for a few days!" The village pointed at the man and retorted with an unfriendly tone.

"Yes, the Village Head is right. If we were to snatch the silver, it might bring about a calamity to our lives!" Another victim echoed.

"Alright, hurry up and get those brothers to take off the pig skin that is wrapped around their bodies. At the same time, wipe off all the pig blood on them. Let's go back and celebrate!" Looking at the bloodstained bodies of many people, the village chief could not help but ask.

"Alright!" "Haha!" When the victims heard that there would be a celebration tonight, they all said this happily.

"All of you, slow down. All of those pig skins have been cut by those people who killed them with a thousand knives. Don't break them." If it wasn't for the fact that the white-robed Fairy gave us so much pig skin and blood, I'm afraid that we really would have to carry your corpses back today. " The village head sighed. Looking at the streaks of blood on the pig skin, he was somewhat shocked and somewhat afraid.

"Village Chief, even if we die, it doesn't matter. As long as we can repay the kindness of doing things for our savior, as long as we die, the villagers will still take care of our wife and children." A person with a simple and honest face laughed foolishly as he spoke.

"Right, fellow villagers, no matter what, we cannot forget the great kindness of our benefactor's life! "Alright, stop talking here. After we go back later, we'll wash these pig skins. We still need to improve the food for everyone tonight!" The Village Chief felt like he had been separated from the world. After all, when they were about to starve to death, there was still a chance for them to survive. How could this not make everyone feel grateful?

What kind of feeling was it to see hope in a moment of despair? Perhaps some people would cry, or some people would laugh, but whether they were crying or laughing, their hearts would be beautiful at that moment, and they would also be happy.

"Don't worry, Village Head. It's been a few years since we've all been infected by an oily star. It wasn't easy for us to smell the scent of lard, and we're all drooling with greed!" The victims jeered.

"Alright, I think the first batch has already been transported to the village. We still need to rush back to help!" The village chief urged everyone to continue their journey.

"That's right, let's go!" Everyone ran in the direction of their 'home' with hope written all over their faces.

Home, brought safety, brought warmth, there was no one who did not want to own their own home. To these victims, their 'home' at this moment not only had a warm atmosphere and the hopes of their families, but also a hope for their future.

The Surveillance Council's spy, who had left the group of 'disaster victims' halfway, was on her way back to the city.

"Old Li, wasn't the scene just now too chaotic? It's the first time I've seen a gang fight like this. I think the grandsons must have had a hard time!" The Surveillance Council spy with the surname Qian said.

"I can see that you're pretty energetic. Did you kick him a few times as well?" The Surveillance Council spy called Old Li chuckled as he asked.

"Tsk, it's as if you didn't kick him. I can see that those kicks of yours are all from the lower part of his body. Oh right, you aren't using any zhenqi, right?" Lao Qian asked in disdain, but when he thought back to that scene, he felt that the kicks were not that heavy. With Old Li's character, he could not be 'merciful'.

"Cough cough, I used a little bit of my zhenqi. Rest assured, I will definitely shatter the egg. The strength that I have grasped is very good!" Old Li patted his chest as he promised.

"Shattered egg?" "So ruthless?" As he spoke, Old Qian subconsciously clutched his crotch.

"I didn't kick you. Besides, since we've already made a move, these bastards will definitely lose all their descendants. Don't think that they are all good people, and the blood on their hands is much more than the blood of innocent people we've killed!" Old Li laughed and scolded when he saw Old Qian's actions.

"That's true. Seeing how they can even chop and chop those innocent victims, you can tell that this is definitely not the first time they have done such a thing." Qian Jin thought back to the scene at that time. Even he, who had been in the battlefield for a long time, was shocked by that scene.

Although they were Surveillance Council's spies, they had never seen such a situation. One side was killing ordinary commoners like killing ants, without any fear of death, while the other side was not afraid of death and rushed forward bravely. It was likely that the warriors on the battlefield did not have the courage to charge forward without fear of death.

"It's a pity that we don't know the exact identity of the other party. We can't even get a token!" Old Li said regretfully.

"Go and report to relieving stroke first!" Old Qian answered.

"Eh, what is this?" Old Li suddenly felt that there was something in his embrace, so he reached out to take it out, only to discover that there really was something he could see.

"Token? How did you get it? " Old Qian's eyes widened as he looked at the token in Old Li's hand and asked.

"I don't know. Just now, I felt something in my embrace. With a touch, I realized it was this thing!" I don't know who put it in my arms! " Old Li also said with doubt.

"It seems that there is another group of people involved in this matter. Furthermore, they should be on our side." Old Qian pondered for a moment before replying.

"With this thing, we can go back and report!" "Let's go back to the city!" Old Li weighed the token in his hand and said with an excited expression.

The trees quickly reached a certain number. With Cheng Zhipeng's order, the group tied up the trees one by one and allowed the branches to drag on the ground, returning back to the city.

Although they had brought a lot of trees with them when they went back, they still didn't slow down the speed of the cavalry. However, the difference was that the branches and leaves were dragging on the ground, causing a large area to fly through the air. From a distance, it looked like thousands of horses were galloping.

Dust billowed like the wind and the hooves of horses, like drums and thunder. Cheng Zhipeng brought his light cavalry unit that only had a thousand people, as he rushed forward with an imposing manner, like ten thousand horses galloping.

If emotions could be expressed, then all the emotions of the people on the horse team had fused into one. The aura of a single person had quickly spread and turned into the aura of an army. It was a feeling of indomitable courage and an invincible heroic spirit merging into one another. It was very subtle and very soothing.

Under this kind of command, the team ran faster and faster. The horses also felt this excitement and became more cheerful. They didn't need to be urged as they gradually sped up.

"Deputy General Cheng, the county governor and his Grand Master have been discovered. They seem to be frightened and are fleeing in a sorry state to our side. Do we need to go and assist them?" A Academy Officer ran quickly to Cheng Zhipeng's side and reported loudly.

"Alright, pass down the order, turn around and head south!" Cheng Zhipeng thought for a while and made his decision.

"Understood!"

Soon, the team changed direction. This kind of high-speed steering was usually very difficult for the cavalry team. If they didn't go through some special training, it would be impossible to do. Because of inertia, if you can't master a coherent turn, it can easily cause chaos in the process of turning.

It had to be known that for a cavalry army that was maintaining a high-speed march, the disorder in their formation meant that someone would fall from their horse or collide with them. This would cause a large area of Cavalry to instantly collapse. This was like a high-speed sports car. At an extremely fast speed, whether it was a car in front or two cars colliding with each other while running, it could lead to a series of car crashes. Therefore, it was the same for the mounted soldiers. Compared to those racing cars, the mounted soldiers were more concentrated together, which had a greater impact. Therefore, the 'disaster' of the mounted soldiers was much more dangerous than the 'accident' in the racing vehicles.

Under the lead of the vanguard, the entire team gradually changed direction and headed towards the south. During this process, the team didn't slow down much. It gave the impression that after a slight pause, they returned to their previous speed.

Not long after, Cheng Zhipeng's team stopped at Wu Daode and his money.

"Sir Wu, are there enemies chasing after you from behind?" Cheng Zhipeng reined his horse forward, and asked Wu Daode. After he finished speaking, he even looked towards the distance, but they did not discover anything suspicious.

"No, I just met some victims. However, when I saw your huge army, those lowly commoners scattered and fled in all directions!" Wu Daode panted as he explained. He only wanted to enter the city quickly under the protection of the army. The scene from before had completely terrified the county governor.

"Sir Wu, are you heading back to the city?" Cheng Zhipeng looked around, and after instructing a few people to investigate the surroundings, he asked Wu Daode.

It was impossible for the leader of the army to determine that there was no danger in the surroundings just because of a single sentence from the other party, even if they were in the vicinity of the prefecture city of the Empire's residence. What's more, Cheng Zhipeng's character was old-fashioned and stubborn. They were currently leading the troops outside, so without sending scouts, Cheng Zhipeng could not be at ease with anything he said to him.

"That's right, escort this lord back to the city!" Wu Daode was still a little impatient, he occasionally turned his head back to look.

"Yes, General!" Cheng Zhipeng immediately replied.

Cheng Zhipeng ordered someone to bring two people along, but because of the weight problem he had with him, he had been given a separate horse. However, when Wu Daode sat on the horse, the horse clearly staggered, and if the horse could speak, it would have turned its head towards Wu Daode and said: "Bro, your weight has already exceeded the standard that a human should have, and you are carrying you? This Dowager is unable to do it! "

Unfortunately, the horse could not speak. Although it turned its head to look at its master with grievances several times, it could do nothing about its master's orders.

The team of horses changed their direction once again. Their target was the south gate as they urged their horses to gallop away.
