Chapter 512 Imperial Capital Reinforcements
In just one day and one night, nearly 10,000 corpses fell to Lanyin City.
Even though most of those corpses were old people in their dying years, the sight of them all being blown down overnight by something as terrifying as the white-haired wind was still a bit chilling.
After the situation slowly stabilized, the corpses were cremated and burned, and each family received their pale ashes. Even if Xuanyi knew that the truth of the epidemic was not a disease or a germ at all, but something from the dead. Despite the curse of magic and the mist of death, if such a huge corpse is not dealt with, it will still become a huge hidden danger.
Fortunately, the Lanye Empire has been slowly promoting cremation for nearly a thousand years, so such large-scale cremations have not encountered much resistance, especially with the full support of the Xie Gang and the government agencies that are still functioning in Lanyin City. Public security was basically under control, and no large-scale vicious incidents occurred due to this tragic atmosphere.
Xuanyi took a break from her busy schedule to personally visit Yaoyao who stayed in the apartment. Unexpectedly, it was Zhao Xueyi who was accompanying her in person.
But Yaoyao still refused to leave the apartment and wait in Zhao Xueyi's room, so the person in charge of Lanyin City in Xicheng could only stay in her room with Yaoyao until Xuanyi knocked on the door in person.
After that, Xuanyi and Yaoyao also took the time to look at Liu Sisi. At this time, the powerful magic barrier of Liu Zhai showed its trustworthy solidity. The death energy did not penetrate into Liu Zhai at all, so even the dying Jimmy was safe and sound. Xuan Yi was a little surprised and a little surprised.
Of course - Liuzhai was originally the base camp of the [Death Priest], so it was expected that it was not attacked at this time.
After comforting Liu Sisi a few words and giving her some ingredients to tell her to stay at home and not run around, Xuan Yi just went to several drug stores for on-the-spot inspections.
He has the ability to sense elixirs, so most of the medicinal materials cannot escape the young man's nose. However, after going to the site to check, he found that as reported before, all the other medicinal materials in the drugstore warehouses are not lacking, only the most symptomatic ones. The city lord's mansion bought all the medicinal materials in advance, especially because the buyer was special, so they didn't even dare to ask about the purpose of the selling point.
Yaoyao followed Xuanyi. Now the situation has generally stabilized, but the plague is still spreading and raging. Xuanyi has received the important task of thanking him, so naturally he can no longer set up a stall to live, so he threw the turtle shell in the apartment, Yaoyao The demon only wore clothes that looked like a treasure bag and acted silently as Xuanyi's little tail.
At this moment, a loud bell suddenly sounded over Lanyin City.
The sound of the bell was clear and clear, echoing in this somewhat lonely city, startling a few jackdaws and making a squawking sound across the air.
Xuanyi rarely heard the bell ringing in Lanyin City, but he roughly understood that the ringing of the bell meant a gathering of the whole city. This was a privilege almost exclusively reserved for the city lord. Of course, when Ji Beihai left the Lanlan Imperial Capital, he would bring everyone together. After most of the powers were delegated to Shane, Shane could also do this. However, due to the current rampant plague, it was not a good idea to gather crowds, so Shane did not consider ringing the bell at all.
But since Shane didn’t ring the bell, then who did?
Xuanyi quickly had his answer in his mind. He turned around and held Yaoyao's hand: "Let's go to the city square to have a look." ... ... The
afternoon
in
Lanyin City was much quieter than usual, and the sun shone through the clouds. The outcrop casts almost tepid sunlight, but it also dispels the gloomy white fog in the city.
Lanyin City has just ushered in a horrific plague, so not many people are willing to go out under such circumstances. However, it seems that after the big bell in the city rang, the priority was very high. Tens of thousands of people still gathered in Lanyin Square. The appearance of the person is quite impressive at a glance.
Xuanyi and Yaoyao were mixed in the crowd. They had not been in Lanyin City for a long time. Although Xuanyi now has the title of frontline commander, many of his previous orders were directly issued to members of the Xie Gang. There are almost no acquaintances in the entire Lanyin City. The advantage of not having any acquaintances is that not many people actually know the two of them.
The square is very large. Directly in front of it is the official residence of Lanyin City, where most officials work. Usually there are some vendors selling food and gifts. However, now that the epidemic is rampant and the officials are directly recruited, there are many merchants here. It also seems to have been cleared from the show.
Xuanyi looked towards the high platform of the square and saw at a glance the somewhat bleak and tall figure of Ji Beihai. He had excellent eyesight and was mixed in the crowd, so he was not afraid of being discovered by the other party. At this time, the city lord, who had always had an excellent reputation in Lanyin County, seemed to be much older, and some gray hair could already be seen on the temples.
After Ji Beihai came forward, buzzing discussions came from the entire Lanyin Square. The Lord of the City coughed lightly and said calmly: "Be quiet."
It rolled through the square like thunder, and everyone No one could hear the words of the person opposite them, so after the sound, the whole square became really quiet for an instant.
"I know that there is an epidemic in the city." Ji Beihai said deeply: "Everything is because I neglected to check, and I feel deeply guilty." As soon as he said this, there were
waves of discussion below. Xuan Yi was in the crowd, He heard clearly that he was roughly saying that this was a natural disaster rather than a man-made disaster. The city lord should not blame himself too much. It seemed that Ji Beihai had always had a good reputation in Lanyin City.
The discussion this time was smaller than before, but there were more painful and suppressed cries in all corners. Even though this plague claimed the lives of mostly the elderly and infirm, it still caused many families to lose their lives forever. their loved ones.
Ji Beihai listened quietly to the all-encompassing sound below. When people's emotions were almost vented, he spoke softly. The sound filled the surroundings, very soft but clearly echoing in everyone's ears, with suppressed sadness. .
"I'm sorry."
"But there's nothing I can do."
"For this reason, I requested immediate assistance from Lanlan Imperial City, and even received a treatment team sent by Ye Ye College. In the coming days, maybe we will have to fight It's been an arduous battle."
Although Xuan Yi basically didn't want to believe a word of Ji Beihai's words, what Ji Beihai said now couldn't help but make him pay more attention.
Ye Ye Academy?
The crowd around him was already excited.
Hope is the most valuable thing when people are in despair, not to mention that Ji Beihai brought the most reliable hope this time.
Lanlan Imperial Capital and Ye Ye College simultaneously sent reinforcements to the city. This was something that they had never dared to think about before. I am afraid that only the astonishing energy of the city lord can bring the attention of those big shots.
After all, no one wants such a terrible plague to spread in Lanye Empire.
Xuanyi thought so, and then casually turned his gaze back to the high platform, but saw a familiar blue hair.
His body stiffened instantly, and even the Yaoyao behind him felt the strangeness of the young man. He couldn't help but pull the corner of his clothes and asked softly, "What's wrong?" "
Xuan Yi."
Xuanyi shook his head, lowered his head and hugged the Yaoyao, Then he slowly withdrew from the crowd.
"Nothing."
