Chapter 2008 The Arrangements of the Prince of Zhennan
After the Prince of Zhennan finished speaking, the high-ranking officials of the Zhengui Division remained silent.
During this attack by evil spirits, only one person escaped from Qing Shi City, and that person was a member of the Qing Shi Town Ghost Division who ran back to report the news.
According to that person's description, there were at least tens of thousands of evil spirits attacking Qing Shi City this time.
Normally, evil spirits do not gather together to attack a city, especially not so many.
Human cities are protected by the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which suppresses the power of evil spirits, preventing them from fully exerting their abilities. Moreover, evil spirits will feel uncomfortable when they get close to human cities.
There are two possibilities for the appearance of so many evil spirits in Qing Shi City: one is that a very powerful evil spirit has emerged near Qing Shi City; the other is that there is a strange force behind this evil spirit attack.
It's not surprising that the supernatural can control evil spirits; they possess intelligence similar to humans and are adept at manipulating evil spirits.
Seeing that the high-ranking officials of the Town of Ghosts remained silent, the Prince of Zhennan continued, "Do you all think that the incident in Qing Shi City was the work of evil spirits, or that there is some strange force behind it?"
Evil spirits rarely attack cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but massacring villages is a common occurrence. In remote villages, where the Great Zhou's fortune is not as strong, the evil spirits are more powerful.
Although those evil spirits have no brains, they still know how to seek advantage and avoid harm.
Instead of wasting energy attacking a county town guarded by the Zhengui Guard, it would be better to slaughter more villages.
Therefore, the Prince of Zhennan was already suspecting that the tragedy in Qing Shi City was orchestrated by a mysterious force.
Fan Yaodong then said, "It was probably done by those few strange beings at the Earth Realm. They need enough blood food to recover their strength."
Xiong Qingcang said, "If it really was those few strange beings at the Earth Realm who did it, then they are very likely to attack other cities next. We must be prepared."
Since the supernatural forces have already begun to launch a bizarre upheaval, they are definitely not just going to massacre one city.
Qing Shi City is likely just the beginning; more cities will likely fall to evil spirits in the future.
Hearing their words, the Prince of Zhennan tapped his fingers lightly on the table beside him, as if he was thinking about something.
Qingshi City is located in the Jiangnan region, not far from his fiefdom of Guangling County.
His Zhennan Army was still being formed, and he could not send his own troops to resist the evil spirits. The Zhennan Army was left to Lu Chen.
However, if these few strange beings at the Earth Realm are already preparing to overthrow the Great Zhou, he must also take action.
If the Great Zhou Dynasty is destroyed, his Guangling County will also be lost.
Moreover, Guangling County is too close to Qingshi City; who knows when those strange creatures might run to Guangling County.
If his fiefdom falls, all his plans will fall apart, and they must figure out what those strange next moves are.
After thinking for a while, the Prince of Zhennan looked at Wu Feng of the Bureau of Investigation and Exorcism: "Director Wu, the next task of your Bureau of Investigation and Exorcism is to find out where these evil spirits have gone and which city they will attack next."
Upon hearing this, Wu Feng was taken aback.
Trying to figure out those strange movements is extremely difficult.
Who knows if their actions were premeditated, or if they were simply attacking whichever county had the weakest defenses? Such unpredictable actions are hard to foresee.
After regaining his senses, Wu Feng said, "Yes, I will send all the Zhengui Guards of the Chagui Division to Jiangnan shortly."
Compared to the massacre of a village, the massacre of a city was far more heinous.
Although the masterminds behind the massacres outside the capital have not yet been found, they can't worry about that now. If the evil spirits in Qing Shi City are indeed a gathering of those strange beings, then it proves that those strange beings are likely to launch another strange upheaval, at which point the entire Great Zhou will be plunged into chaos and death.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to figure out where the eerie secrets behind those evil spirits are hiding.
As for the massacre of the village, let the people of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion investigate it.
The Prince of Zhennan then turned his gaze to Fan Yaodong: "Commander Fan, you will be leading Director Xiong, Director Wu, and Director Zou to Jiangnan to investigate the matter of Qing Shi City."
"In addition, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will send three more Earth Realm Spirit Warriors to accompany you. If you encounter those few Earth Realm monsters, try to hold them off."
Fan Yaodong immediately replied, "Yes, Prince Zhennan."
This time, the Zhengui Division and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion dispatched a total of seven Earth Realm Spirit Warriors. If they encounter those Earth Realm monsters, even if they cannot seal them, they can at least hold them off or prevent them from continuing their massacre of the city.
The Prince of Zhennan continued, "Furthermore, I will petition the court to dispatch tens of thousands of troops to accompany you to Qingshi City."
There are many evil spirits this time, and it is highly unlikely that Fan Yaodong and his few Earth Realm Spirit Warriors can handle them.
Fan Yaodong and his fellow Earth Realm Spirit Warriors mainly deal with those Earth Realm monsters; ordinary evil spirits are left to the regular Spirit Warriors.
At this moment, Lu Yu spoke up, "Could this be one of those strange conspiracies? They deliberately lured us to send Earth Realm Spirit Warriors to Qing Shi City, and then took advantage of the reduced number of powerful figures in the capital to launch a surprise attack on the capital."
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, the Prince of Zhennan thought for a moment and then said, "That possibility cannot be ruled out, but the capital city has a strong aura of fortune. If those few strange beings at the Earth Realm were to attack the capital city, their strength would be greatly suppressed. Even without you, the royal family can handle it."
After thinking about it for a while, everyone felt that it made some sense, so they didn't say anything more and then quickly got to work.
at the same time.
In the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, in a small courtyard with a babbling brook, Lu Chen sat on a stone bench in the pavilion, flipping through some miscellaneous books about this world. A copper bell hung from the corner of the pavilion, its gentle sound tinkling pleasantly in the wind.
At this moment, a maid entered the courtyard with a piece of paper: "Your Highness, this is intelligence sent by the Zhengui Guard."
Hearing the maid's words, Lu Chen put down the miscellaneous books in his hand, looked at the maid outside the pavilion, and then said, "Bring it here."
The maid immediately walked up to Lu Chen and handed him the paper.
After taking the paper, Lu Chen glanced at it briefly. Upon seeing its contents, he was slightly startled: "An evil spirit massacring the city?"
So those strange entities in the region have already taken action? Is this some kind of warning from Heaven?
Lu Chen suspected that Yun Yudie was using this method to put pressure on Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao because they hadn't been able to get any information out.
After regaining his senses, Lu Chen immediately got up from the stone bench and headed to the west wing.
At this moment, in the west wing courtyard, the two sisters, Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao, were eating pastries and sipping tea.
Zhou Xiaoxiao's face showed a trace of worry, and she sighed slightly, saying, "I don't know what the situation is like in the Heavenly Fortune Sect now. We haven't sent any news out for so long, the sect leader probably thinks we've been sealed away."
Although Zhou Xiaoxiao had been at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion for some time, she still sided with the Tianyun Sect and always wanted to pass on intelligence, especially information about Lu Chen.
However, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded, and she couldn't get out at all.
Moreover, the guards of the Prince of Zhennan's mansion were also watching her. Lu Chen had specifically arranged for female guards at the Xuan Realm level to serve as maids in the west wing, precisely to monitor her every move. (End of Chapter)
