Chapter 45: Nian Gengyao Guarding the City Gate 4

Not to mention that Nian Gengyao led a group of professional rebels, the former members of the White Lotus Sect and the current Tiandihui were secretly causing trouble in Jiading.

Half a month later, the advance troops sent by the court to investigate the situation finally arrived in the south.

A troop of over a thousand elite soldiers, stumblingly escorted a group of outsiders whose faces were uglier than each other, to Jiading.

In name it was an escort, but in reality anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was to prevent these shamans from escaping along the way.

The cause of the incident is this -

Compared with the large-scale army, monks and Taoists were the first to be summoned by the emperor, especially the group of shamans who had been enjoying royal offerings, all of whom were pulled out at the first opportunity.

At the beginning, this group of charlatans were not afraid of the rumors. Some of them were even bold enough to think that since even monsters like zombies could appear in this world, it was time for them, the people of the Xuanmen, to show their skills!

Who would have known that the first salvation team headed south with full confidence, but was eventually wiped out in Hangzhou Prefecture, with only three or two guards escaping.

Originally, there were more people who escaped, but the zombie virus was too ferocious, and many people showed signs of transforming into zombies before they could even get through the critical moment.

So, while they had not yet completely mutated, when daybreak came, the local guards who had noticed something was wrong and who already had some experience in dealing with zombies were all killed on the spot.

In the end, only two or three kittens were able to rush back to the capital to report the news.

“Your Majesty, I have seen with my own eyes that the zombies roaming around Hangzhou are extremely ferocious, each with great strength, a body like a diamond, and iron claws.

As soon as those monks and Taoist priests came into contact with them, they didn't even have time to recite a mantra before they were torn into pieces by a group of zombies!"

After hearing their report, the emperor no longer had any hope and could only let the local commander execute the enemy first and report later.

He even went so far as to praise the defending general for his alertness and courage, as he was able to nip the danger in the bud and prevent the important areas of the capital from suffering.

The southern defender, who was praised by the emperor himself as clever and brave, was kneeling in front of Nian Gengyao with a look of respect on his face.

"Reporting to Lord Qingdi, I have already followed your instructions and specially left a slightly injured soldier to return to the capital. I also ask that you, Lord, consider my sincere heart and accept me into the Tiandihui and let me grow my hair and wear a hairpin!"

Nian Gengyao, who was sitting at the top, propped up his head and looked at the people with burning eyes in the audience, and couldn't help laughing softly.

Yes, this guard was also his subordinate, or more precisely, his subordinate's subordinate. Now he is doing this act of surrendering himself, firstly to join the guild, and secondly because he is coveting the anti-zombie weapon in Nian Gengyao's hand.

The group of Tiandihui believers developed by Nian Gengyao were extremely loyal to him.

The reason was simple, simply because he let them witness with their own eyes the horror of zombies and that he had the means to deal with them.

The most important thing is that he can disperse those alienated plants!

Now, each member of the Tiandihui has an average of one Pea Shooter in hand, a nut wall tied to his chest, and a cherry bomb in his arms.

Every time they go out, they feel so safe!

What zombies or not, stand still! Take my pea shooter!

It doesn't matter even if these mutated plants are finally killed in the battle, since there are still plenty of them in their boss's backyard!

It’s not that no one has ever had the intention to steal vegetables from the garden when Nian Gengyao is away, but these alienated plants are directly bound to Nian Gengyao.

Unless he personally gives it to others, no matter how envious others are, they can only see it but not touch it, and can only stand aside and enjoy the sight.

In short, it was precisely because the first batch of monks and Taoists were annihilated in Hangzhou Prefecture that in order to appease the people, the emperor simply issued a death order for the remaining charlatans to go south to die.

Oh, no, the excuse is that they are catching zombies and doing research for the benefit of the people of the world.

Death at the hands of zombies is called martyrdom, while death at the hands of soldiers is called desertion.

No matter what choice they made, they would die. So, in order to live a few more days, this group of cowardly charlatans had no choice but to put on a brave face and head south.

However, the corpse disaster in the south has become increasingly serious, and the mortal states and cities can only barely hold on, and everyone is waiting for support from the court.

But the imperial court was too cowardly to say a word.

At least we have sent some suicide squads over here, which is at least a little consolation.

It was precisely because they had seen so many bloody scenes with piles of bones along the way that even though they were numerous and cautious and only walked during the day according to the intelligence, they were still inevitably attacked by a sudden zombie group!

Therefore, when they finally arrived in Jiading where the situation was relatively stable, not to mention the group of charlatans, even the soldiers escorting them were still frightened.

However, what they didn't know was that the soldier who was intentionally sent into the capital by Nian Gengyao to bypass the pass defenses half a month ago had finally encountered a change!

Compared to the southern provinces that already had a lot of experience in dealing with zombies, the capital city, which was almost full of dignitaries, was very slow to react.

It was not until the zombie attacked and killed more than a dozen people in a row that they noticed something was wrong.

In the end, although the zombie was successfully eliminated, dozens of people were injured!

Even if the emperor personally gave the order to execute those who were destined to undergo mutation, there would always be those who were unwilling to give in and wanted to escape.

What's worse, they just go crazy and start meowing and scratching at anyone who dares to take their lives, trying to drag more people into the water!

Just like that, one drags one down and one harms one.

The injured dared not say much, and the uninjured were afraid that they would be the next to be injured. So, not long after, many zombies began to appear in the streets at night in the capital.

The emperor was very angry about this, but it was too late to pursue the matter.

Therefore, after much deliberation, the emperor, who valued his life very much, secretly took a few trusted ministers and concubines with him and fled directly to the Old Summer Palace to hide.

He didn't even want to pretend, and the entire Forbidden City suddenly became confused and uneasy.

The concubines who were left behind were even more desperate.

The incident caused such a big fuss that even Nian Shilan, who was quietly hiding in the cold palace, heard about it.

When she heard that the Emperor had abandoned the Empress and the Queen Mother, but still insisted on taking Zhen Huan with him, she felt angry and sad.

"Why did I fall in love with such a man... Why did I fall in love with such a man!"

Songzhi hugged Nian Shilan helplessly, and the master and servant cried bitterly in the cold wind of the cold palace.
