Chapter 1157 The Order From the Qin Envoy! (Update 1)

Time flies, and days fly by.

In the past few days, the biggest change in Dongzhang Village is that every household is preparing for funerals, with the elderly crying and women and children in despair.

The war was so brutal that the Dakun Dynasty was defeated steadily by the enemy Daluo Dynasty. No one from Dongzhang Village who had been captured on the front line came back alive.

The escalation of the war also caused the price of food to rise and the value of money to depreciate. In the past, a pound of rice cost 20 cents, but now it has doubled tenfold to 200 cents. Despite this, thousands of people are still looting.

Even Dongzhang Village is no exception. It is not that no one has thought about escaping to a safe place. However, it is said that the rebels have already reached the county. In addition, most of Dongzhang Village are old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children. If they don't want to, they can't. Ability to leave homeland.

"But Butler Wu was smart and realized something was wrong, so he reminded me in advance to buy a house in the capital. Once the war spread here, I would move my family to the capital."

"But this is also a good thing. At least I can make a fortune before I leave..."

Zhang Yuanwai, the largest gentry in Dongzhang Village, smiled as he looked at the long line of people lining up in front of his house just to buy food.

He sold the old rice that was moldy and infested with worms in the warehouse at a price of 300 Wen per catty, not afraid that no one would buy it.

Lao Zhangtou was also in the grain buying team. He spent all his savings to buy a bag of rice.

Before leaving, he glared at Zhang Yuanwai's fat body and cursed in a low voice: "Bah, you are a beast who is struggling to make a fortune, and he will die a good death sooner or later!"

The entrance of Zhang Ji Iron Shop.

A white-haired young man wearing coarse cloth sat quietly in a daze. Cuihua, who was wearing women's clothing for the first time, stood behind him and gently combed his long hair with a comb.

It can be said that among the entire Dongzhang Village now, the white-haired young man is the one who is least affected.

He ate and slept every day. After confirming his marriage, Lao Zhangtou regarded him as a relative. Knowing that he had a large appetite, he would rather eat chaff for himself and his daughter than to save part of the rations.

While Cuihua was combing his long hair, she murmured: "Mumu, can you really not remember who you are?"

She didn't know how many times she tried this scene, but she couldn't get a response from the young man every time.

"who I am?"

However, this time, the white-haired young man heard a slight tremor in his body and asked as if he was asking a question, with a daze flashing in his eyes.

"You remember?"

Cuihua's movements froze, then she walked in front of him and looked at his handsome face nervously.

"who I am?"

The white-haired young man still asked, and his eyes began to struggle, as if in pain, and then he put his head in his hands and started shouting.

His change immediately frightened Cuihua, who hurriedly comforted her: "If you can't remember it, don't think about it. If you can't remember it, don't think about it..."

"Plop..."

The young man fell to the ground and fainted on the spot.

Lao Zhangtou, who came back with a bag of rice, rushed over immediately: "What's wrong with him?"

"Dad, Mu Mu seems to have remembered something, but it's very painful..." Cuihua's eyes were red.

"Give me a hand and carry him in quickly."

In the next few days, Lao Zhangtou tried to remind the white-haired young man of the past, but every time he mentioned it, the former would yell as if he was possessed by a demon.

In the end, Lao Zhangtou simply stopped asking, and the young man returned to normal. He just sat at the door every day, either in a daze or writing something on the ground with a branch.

"Dad, what's the word written on the wood?" Cuihua called out Lao Zhangtou and asked, pointing to a cute word on the ground.

"It seems like a simplified version of cute..."

Lao Zhangtou said unconvinced that he had only attended private school for two years and could not read much.

"What does cute mean?"

"I don't know either……"

…

For half a month, it was extremely sad for everyone in Dongzhang Village because life was getting harder and harder, but for the white-haired young man, it was like a dream.

In these troubled times, the better news for everyone is that it is said that the rebels in the county have been wiped out.

Some people tried to move south, but found that checkpoints were set up everywhere in Lin'an County to prevent people from moving around, even Zhang Yuanwai from Dongzhang Village was no exception.

Some people who tried to force their way through the checkpoint were killed on the spot. The official statement was that enemy spies and spies were strictly investigated.

Lin'an County, County Cheng Mansion.

The county magistrate Lu Zhiyuan knelt on the ground and said with great respect to an old eunuch in front of him: "I have seen the prince!"

"Master Lu, our family is on a patrol incognito this time, and we have the emperor's orders to convey the imperial edict to you."

An old eunuch with a white face and no beard smiled slightly, and then handed the imperial edict in his hand to Lu Zhiyuan: "We won't read it anymore. They are all up there. Only Master Lu is allowed to watch, and no leaks are allowed."

Lu Zhiyuan stood up, took the imperial decree with both hands, looked at it carefully, and then his whole body suddenly stiffened.

"Ten thousand... ten thousand ghosts and soul-devouring formations will massacre... kill millions of people in Lin'an County..."

He was breathing heavily, as if turning on a bellows, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

That’s millions of lives!

Especially the people under his jurisdiction!

"Master Lu, Your Majesty has high hopes for you. I believe you will not let him down..."

The old eunuch walked over and patted his shoulder gently: "To show his favor for you, just now, His Majesty has sent someone to take your family to the capital, so that you can stay away from the war and bathe in the emperor's favor..."

Lu Zhiyuan's head was buzzing, as if struck by lightning, his eyes became extremely bloodshot, and his whole body was shaking.

A few seconds later, he knelt down heavily with a trembling body, and whispered: "I...I accept the order..."

"Very good!"

The old eunuch nodded with a smile: "In order to cooperate with Lord Lu, our family brought one person this time, which will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

As his voice fell, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the closed room.

"Lord Lu, this is Lord Suo of the Yin Guimen. You must listen to any arrangements he makes, and at the same time, arrange the 100,000 troops and do not leak the news..."

...

North of Lin'an County, thousands of miles away.

A large tent was guarded by endless flags, and several powerful figures sat upright in the tent.

"Everyone, what's standing in front of us now is Lin'an County of the Dakun Dynasty."

A man in armor pointed at the huge sand map and said: "Although Lin'an County is only a county with a population of only a few million, it is the throat that strangles the lifeline of Dakun. We must capture this place before we can attack Dakun Kyoto directly..."

Faced with his analysis, the others nodded repeatedly. An old man in a gray robe frowned and said: "It's just a county. Why don't we launch an attack now?"

"No hurry, this time I, Daluo, am just cooperating in the battle. All military plans must be arranged according to the arrangements of the Daqin envoy..."

Armored man Zi shook his head slightly: "If nothing unexpected happens, the envoy will send the attack order before tomorrow night."

Someone couldn't help laughing and said: "General Liang, what do you think, if I, Daluo, destroy Da Kun this time, what kind of reward will Daqin give us?"

"Then I don't know!"

The armored man shook his head and laughed: "But what is certain is that judging from the treatment Daqin treats other people, we will definitely not be treated unfairly."

At this time, a messenger approached the big tent, and the other party knelt on one knee and said: "General Liang, the envoy has a special mission for me to convey to you..."

After that, he took out a portrait from his arms.

General Liang took it and opened it.

The person in the painting was a young man with deep eyes and a majestic look between his eyebrows. The most eye-catching thing was the white hair.

Everyone in the big tent was suspicious.

General Liang frowned, looked at the messenger kneeling on the ground and said, "Does the messenger have any other instructions?"

"The messenger said that if you meet the person in the painting, you must report it to him..."

The messenger did not dare to hide anything, and said slowly: "It is said that this order was issued by the Great Qin Emperor himself, and those who know the truth will be rewarded!"

The whole room was filled with gasps.

The Great Qin Emperor!!!

A generous reward!!!

"You can go down."

After the messenger left, General Liang took a deep breath, his eyes flickering: "Why is the Emperor looking for this person?"
