At night, Lin Yi and Zhao Yun woke up from their sleep at the same time.
A slight gnawing sound came from the ears of the two of them.
In order to ensure safety, Lin Yi specially summoned ten elite soldiers from the Black Shadow Corps to guard the house closely.
Once someone tries to get close, an attack from the Black Shadow Corps will inevitably be triggered.
But at this moment, the Shadow Corps is still hiding and monitoring, which means that no one outside the house is approaching.
Zhao Yun tiptoed off the bed, picked up the gentian gun and gently raised the door curtain.
Zhao Yun's eyes fell on the living room through the crack in the door.
The old man rescued during the day was seen lying in front of the table, chewing something with concentration. The sound of chewing was particularly clear in the silent night.
"Old sir."
Zhao Yun gave a soft cry, but the old man was still immersed in his own world, turning a deaf ear to Zhao Yun's cry, and continued to focus on nibbling the things in front of him.
Lin Yi grabbed Zhao Yun and signaled him not to act rashly.
He took out a light stick from his personal space, flicked it open, and threw it at the old man's feet.
The green fluorescence instantly illuminated the house, and also reflected the old man's terrifying face.
His face was covered with blood, and his right hand was holding his granddaughter's arm, while the girl's head was quietly placed on the table.
"Are the two generals hungry too? Would you like to have a bite?"
The old man seemed to have heard the movements of Lin Yi and Zhao Yun. His head instantly turned 270 degrees, and his bloody face appeared in their eyes.
"Where's your charm?"
The black and white rose appeared in Lin Yi's hand and walked to the edge of the old man.
A trace of confusion flashed in the old man's eyes, and he murmured to himself: "Spell? I seem to have placed it on my granddaughter. General, have you seen my granddaughter? Did my granddaughter go somewhere to play again?" His voice He was full of confusion. Apparently, the erosion of the ancient god's energy had seriously disrupted his memory.
"It's okay. Your granddaughter went out to play and will be back later."
Lin Yi did not tell the old man the truth.
"Oh, that's it. When Guoguo comes back, remember not to let him run around. The world is so chaotic now." The old man muttered while biting his granddaughter's arm.
When Zhao Yun witnessed this scene, he felt intense grief and unbearability in his heart. He tilted his head to one side and couldn't bear to look directly.
Lin Yi didn't say anything, walked up to the old man's back, and stabbed the old man through the heart with his sword.
As the sword edge penetrated, the old man's body trembled suddenly, and the bloodshot eyes began to fade away.
He seemed to wake up from a nightmare, looking at the scene in front of him, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.
Then, the old man's head fell heavily on the table, and everything fell silent.
In the pool of blood, Lin Yi discovered the faintly glowing talisman.
The next second, the spell suddenly ignited without fire. The flames quickly spread to the bodies of the old man and the girl, and a raging fire broke out in the house.
"Let's go to Yecheng quickly. I don't want to see these damn things happen anymore."
Zhao Yun pushed open the door of the house and mounted the red rabbit horse.
For the next day, Lin Yi followed Zhao Yun, running all the way, and finally succeeded in arriving at Yecheng one day later.
Arriving around Yecheng, Lin Yi saw the Tongque Tower at a glance.
There are one hundred and twenty palaces built on the platform, with continuous buildings, numerous flying pavilions, carved beams and painted eaves, all of which look extraordinary.
Originally this was supposed to be a palace for banqueting ministers, but now it was built into a palace with copper walls and iron walls. There were thousands of soldiers patrolling the Tongque Terrace.
These soldiers looked terrified, holding their weapons tightly with both hands, and they all looked tense.
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Cao's most elite army." Zhao Yun stood on the edge of the Tongque Terrace, overlooking the soldiers patrolling below, and said softly.
At this moment, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were no longer as elite and proud as before. Their morale was low, just like a group of soldiers who had just experienced a defeat.
Lin Yi also caught the frightened look in the eyes of these soldiers, which showed that they were not possessed and still maintained their humanity.
Lin Yi looked around and found that the entire Tongque Terrace was surrounded by tiger and leopard cavalry. The defense was so tight that not even a fly could fly in.
"What should I say? Just walk in like this?" Lin Yi frowned and asked Zhao Yun for his opinion.
"I'm going to report it. I hope it will have some effect."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yun did not want to conflict with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. In troubled times, internal friction would only weaken each other's strength.
Zhao Yun rode on the red rabbit horse and walked to the main entrance of Tongque Terrace.
Zhao Yun's actions seemed to stir the fragile nerves of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers. The next second, these soldiers pulled out the swords from their waists and pointed them at Zhao Yun.
"Who!" a Tiger and Leopard Cavalry squad leader asked with a trembling voice.
When he saw Zhao Yun's face clearly, the nervous look on his face instantly turned into panic.
The same was true for the other Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers. As if they had seen a monster, they all stepped back several steps, leaving a huge circle open.
"Damn monster, are you really catching up? Take my shot."
After Cao Chun, the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, saw Zhao Yun, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward with his spear, preparing to fight Zhao Yun to the death!
"General Cao, Zhao is here on important matters this time."
Zhao Yun held the gentian spear and collided with Cao Chun's spear.
Arriving in front of Zhao Yun, Cao Chuncai found that Zhao Yun in front of him had a calm demeanor, completely different from the previous time he saw him in Changbanpo.
At that time, Zhao Yun was holding a gentian gun and killed seven in and seven out of a million Cao soldiers. Many soldiers became Zhao Yun's blood food.
This is also the reason why Hubaoqi is so scared when he sees Zhao Yun. It's simple, he was scared to death by Zhao Yun.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Cao Chun felt an inexplicable fear in his heart. He took two steps back on his horse, trying to keep a distance from Zhao Yun.
There was no way, Zhao Yun's previous performance was really terrifying, and Cao Chun couldn't confirm whether the Zhao Yun in front of him was pretending or real.
"General Cao, I, Zhao Yun, am made of flesh and blood. I am neither a ghost nor a demon. I am actually here to discuss important matters and jointly deal with the current crisis."
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Cao Chun also knew that the Zhao Yun in front of him was most likely a human. Otherwise, he would not be talking nonsense to him here and would have killed him long ago.
"Sorry, it's my duty. I have offended you many times before. The Prime Minister is at Tongque Terrace now. Please let me take you two there."
Although he didn't know what Zhao Yun wanted to do when he came to see Cao Cao, Cao Chun was just a leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and he didn't want to know anything else.
"Now that the world is in chaos, Yecheng, under the guard of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, can still maintain order and allow the people to have a place to live and work." Cao Chun sighed, "But I'm afraid this situation won't last long. The possessed man There are more and more, and the strength is getting stronger. Although we Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are brave, we are still flesh and blood after all."
Every moment, possessed people from outside the city break into Ye City.
In just one month, one-third of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had been killed.
If it weren't for the fact that many people in Yecheng spontaneously joined the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to maintain law and order, Yecheng would have been unable to sustain it long ago.
Under the leadership of Cao Chun, Lin Yi and Zhao Yun came to an attic. They saw the laughter of singing girls and the faint sound of pianos in the attic, which formed a sharp contrast with the frightened appearance of the tigers and leopards outside.
"Why did Mr. Cao become like this?"
Zhao Yun had a trace of doubt on his face as he listened to the distant voice.
Cao Cao was considered a tycoon no matter what, but why did he suddenly become as drunk as Dong Zhuo?
Cao Chun shook his head, said nothing, and led the two of them into the attic.
In the room, Cao Cao was dressed in a brocade robe and sitting in front of the carved rosewood table. His eyes were fascinated and he was pouring wine into the cup with a wine flask in his hand.
The singing girls around were dressed in delicate and soft silk and satin, and their dancing postures were as graceful as catkins in the wind.
The singing is melodious, penetrating the heart, and tugging at everyone's heartstrings.
The room was filled with smoke and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard endlessly. All kinds of delicacies and delicacies were placed on the table, jade plates were full of delicacies, the delicacies were picturesque, and the aroma of wine overflowed.
Cao Cao was intoxicated with wine, singing and dancing, completely forgetting the disturbances in the outside world.
As if he heard the sound of the door opening, Cao Cao slowly opened his heavy eyelids from the drunken chaos, and cast his hazy eyes at the door.
In his drunken state, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Yun.
A bitter and deep smile appeared on Cao Cao's lips, with a hint of self-deprecation and helplessness in his voice, "It turns out to be Zilong, are you here to take my life? Don't worry, do you want to have a meal together first?"
Cao Cao had completely given up on himself. After seeing Zhao Yun, he not only did not run away, but instead swung the wine bottle towards Zhao Yun.
"Sorry, the prime minister's mental state has been like this since the battle at Changbanpo."
Cao Chun confessed to the two of them and left in a hurry.
The tranquility of Yecheng needs the protection of Hubaoqi. It is soon time for Hubaoqi to patrol. He has a heavy responsibility and cannot slack off at all.
Cao Cao, who once led an army of millions, almost lost all his troops after the Battle of Changbanpo, and his spiritual support also collapsed.
Now Cao Cao regards every day as the last day of his life, which is why life seems so decadent.
Zhao Yun frowned, walked to the table, unceremoniously picked up a pot of wine, and poured it on Cao Cao.
The cold wine was like a cold spring, instantly awakening Cao Cao from his drunken state.
He shuddered violently and was no longer drunk.
Cao Cao came back to his senses and instinctively took two steps back when he saw Zhao Yun in front of him.
But the next second, Cao Cao quickly noticed something unusual about Zhao Yun.
Although Zhao Yun's armor was stained with blood, his eyes no longer had the madness and killing intent that he had at Changbanpo.
"Zilong, you are finally back to normal. With Zilong's help, I will be able to do it."
Cao Cao's words stopped abruptly and were replaced by a heavy sigh.
His eyes dimmed and he sat down in front of the table again.
"It's useless." Cao Cao smiled bitterly and shook his head. He picked up the wine bottle in his hand and raised his head to drink. "The catastrophe of annihilation cannot be resisted by human beings."
Following Cao Cao's narration, Lin Yi and Zhao Yun finally understood what the historical process of this world was like.
Cao Cao was one of the first people to discover that there was a problem in this world. During the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, he began to notice the appearance of those possessed by demons.
These people who have been corrupted by the energy of the ancient gods have changed their minds and behave like monsters, posing a great threat to the stability of public security.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were not many demons, and Cao Cao only needed to send a small team to effectively suppress these demons.
But as time went by, the situation became more serious.
More and more people are invaded by the energy of the ancient gods, and their minds undergo changes, transforming into demonic people.
Not only are these changes proliferating in number, but their scope is also expanding.
What caused the chaos was the obsession of Liu Biao's son Liu Qi.
No matter how incompetent Liu Biao's son Liu Qi is, he is still a general with unparalleled skills.
When he was eroded by the energy of the ancient gods and transformed into a demon, his strength was greatly enhanced and he became extremely ferocious and powerful.
On that day, Cao Cao sent two generals, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, to deal with it.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu, two famous generals on the battlefield, were as fragile as ordinary soldiers in Liu Qi's hands.
They were torn in half alive by Liu Qi, and the scene was too horrific to watch.
The three thousand armored elites who accompanied the two men were also attacked by Liu Qi. None of them survived, and they were all slaughtered.
From that day on, the demonic chaos spread like wildfire throughout the world.
Although Cao Cao has many soldiers, an ant can kill an elephant, not to mention that a possessed person is more terrifying than a tiger.
In this way, Cao Cao's men covered the people's retreat all the way.
In the battle of Changbanpo, all Liu Bei's army was possessed and the situation became uncontrollable.
Under the crazy attack of the demons, all millions of Cao's troops eventually became their blood food, and no one was spared.
Cao Cao originally planned to retreat to Xudu in order to regroup.
Unexpectedly, Xudu, as a city with a large population, became the first place to fall in the demon rebellion.
After the breakout of Xudu, his troops were running low, which forced him to retreat to Yecheng with the emperor.
Now the whole world is a demonic land, and Yecheng is like a lonely boat in the sea, in danger, and may be besieged by the possessed at any time.
In this desperate situation, Cao Cao chose to retreat to Tongque Terrace, drown his sorrows in wine, and lived a life of drunkenness and dreams.
The helplessness and anguish in his heart can be imagined.
After he finished describing the current situation to Lin Yi and Zhao Yun, his anger and helplessness could no longer be suppressed. He punched the table with such force that an obvious hole appeared on the solid table. of depression.
"Zilong, let's live one day at a time. This world is hopeless." Cao Cao lay sprawled on the ground with a decadent expression, completely different from the high-spirited Cao Cao in history.
When Zhao Yun saw this, he felt a strong dissatisfaction in his heart.
He grabbed Cao Cao's collar tightly and said angrily: "You give up? What qualifications do you have to give up? Do you know that all the hundreds of thousands of troops under the lord's command have been possessed, and General Guan and the others have not been spared. And you There is no possessed soldier under his command, don’t you understand what this means?”
Thinking of Zhuge Liang sacrificing himself every day and using himself as lamp oil to trap the possessed army in the entire military camp.
In front of him, Cao Cao was still drunk and dreaming. How could this attitude not make Zhao Yun angry?
"How come, Liu Bei has all been possessed by the devil?" Cao Cao asked in shock. This news obviously had a huge impact on him.
When Cao Cao heard Zhao Yun's words, he seemed to have thought of something.
"There was news from Soochow before that all the officials of Soochow were possessed. Sun Jian and Sun Ce came back from the dead, and they divided and ate Sun Quan alive. Zhou Yu tried to break out, but unfortunately only a few messages came out."
When Cao Cao said this, he turned back and glanced at Cao Pi and others in the corner.
More than a dozen elite tiger and leopard riders are guarding Cao Pi to ensure their safety.
Beside him, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was curled up on the dragon chair. His body was trembling slightly, as if he was trying to suppress the panic in his heart.
His face was pale, without a trace of blood, and the corners of his mouth were slightly drooped, revealing an indescribable desolation and helplessness.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty's black hair hung loosely on his shoulders, which was in sharp contrast with his thin and stiff face, making him even more haggard.
The dragon robe hung loosely around his body, and his fingers gently clasped the handle of the dragon chair. It was the only thing he could hold on to.
At this critical moment, Emperor Xian of Han also understood that the only person he could rely on was Cao Cao.
"I see. Is this why the emperor is absolutely safe as mentioned in the rules?"
Just now, Lin Yi probed the information about Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, and finally understood why there was not a single possessed person around Cao Cao.
