Along the canal, dense fog filled the deserted village in the early morning.

The dilapidated wooden door of the thatched house creaked open, the little girl carried a straw basket and led the little yellow dog out, wearing old clothes and trousers wearing straw sandals, and wearing a slightly old straw hat, maybe the adults in the family used to wear straw hats to work and smelled of sweat Son.

It's foggy in the morning and it's hot and sunny at noon.

Must have a straw hat for sun protection.

The little yellow dog ran forward and back with joy, the emerald green weeds on the roadside were heavy with dew, and the yellow dog hair was wet and matted.

The skinny little girl wants to do what she can to make a living for the family. There is a kind of hogweed in the water by the river. In the past, she digs it home, washes it, chops it up and feeds it to the pigs. It's very interesting, but the little sow at home was snatched away by the grain requisition team. Said it was to make up for the tax and food gap, the girl cried sadly, it was she digging pig grass to feed the big pigs...

The common people are suffering, and no one cares about the little girl's miss for the little pig.

Even people in future generations or even thousands of years later don't care, they only yearn for princes, generals, poets, rich people and even famous prostitutes.

After walking for a while, I bent down and rolled up my trouser legs that were wet with dew, my feet were cool.

The white mist filled the air and I couldn't see too far away, quietly, I heard from my parents that the monsters in the north were besieging the capital, and we discussed going to the south along the canal by boat in a few days, maybe... no one from the south will come to the house to snatch pigs, right?

The little yellow dog ran back with a fat frog in its mouth.

"Rhubarb, good~"

The girl was very happy. She took the frog and pulled the grass skillfully, tied it up and threw it into the straw basket. The fat frog tasted delicious when cooked, and it was more filling than rough bread. The friends in the village liked it the most.

Continue to dig pigweed by the river, the pig at home is gone, but the food is also gone, pigweed can fill the stomach, the taste of starvation is really uncomfortable.

There was no wind, no sound could be heard, and a vast white mist rose from the water surface of the canal. It was very strange why no large ships passed by today, maybe they stayed in the county town and hadn't sailed yet.

Suddenly the little yellow dog barks!

"Wow! Wow~!"

"Rhubarb? What's wrong?"

The girl saw the little yellow dog grinning and barking at the canal, but the river was so foggy that she couldn't see anything.

The emerald green grass, the calm river, the little girl wearing a straw hat and the little yellow dog in the vast fog look small, standing by the river and staring at the ancient canal with wide eyes...

Gradually, it seemed to hear the sound of sailing boats, which sounded different from usual boats.

It didn't take long to find a huge black shadow in the thick fog that became more and more obvious. The girl was stunned, the yellow dog tucked its tail, and the black shadow became clearer and clearer. It was a strange big ship, and the flag on the bow seemed to be a dragon god... …

The big boat slowly docked and lowered the gangplank, and the girl saw many tall and good-looking big sisters get off the boat.

Xiao Ye Zi jumped to the grassland by the bank in a light military uniform, saw the skinny yellow-haired girl trembling, she walked forward and knelt down to look at her dirty little face, remembering the same suffering when she was a child.

"Don't be afraid, look at your skinny, eat an egg."

Peel off the egg skin three or two times and hand it to the little girl.

Food always draws the distance between people. The little girl who was still very scared just now gulped her saliva. The egg white is soft and smooth, and the fragrance reminds her of the Chinese New Year. The eggs at home need to be exchanged for money to buy salt to subsidize the family. Only during the Chinese New Year can they eat Egg, took the egg and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Eat slowly, sister still has a lot~"

When Qiao Jin got off the boat, she saw Xiao Yezi coaxing the children there, and she didn't bother her. She stepped on the Nanhuang specialty monster horse and began to greet the troops to disembark. It was some distance from the capital of Yan Kingdom, and the only way to go was the official road. The front of the canal was artificially blocked and impassable.

It may have been done by a human, or it may not be a human race...

Qiao Jin didn't have any sense of belonging to Yan Country. The scenes at that time became history. She was more used to calling herself a citizen of the new era or a soldier of the new era. All kinds of strange words were put forward by the mysterious demon emperor.

One after another, large ships docked at the ancient canal road beside the deserted village. Snake demon soldiers disembarked lightly with armored packages and weapons on their backs. With a group of good-looking and slender 'young people' heading north.

...

The capital of Yan Kingdom.

The majestic mansion is busy, and there are soldiers with flags on their backs running in and out one after another, and the horses outside the yamen run wildly to various places or return to the mansion.

At this time, this yamen has become the command center of the capital. The officials and officials have bloodshot eyes writing and drawing in front of the model of the capital.

In the innermost seat of the yamen was an official about sixty years old, frowning and discussing with several generals, the atmosphere was dull.

Another official in brocade clothes came in from outside the gate, and everyone bowed down to salute. The old man waved his hand and went straight to the innermost place, walking hurriedly with an anxious expression on his face.

"Fold the book."

The officials who came in said hello and looked at the generals.

The chief minister, surnamed Zhe, nodded, and several generals bid farewell with fists in their hands and left the yamen quickly. A waiter brought the officials a cup of hot tea and retreated far away. The servants should not get too close when the adults speak.

"Old man Dong, is this the first time you have stepped into my yamen?"

The official surnamed Dong saw no one sitting down and talking quietly.

"You forgot that you came here three years ago, don't talk about it, you really decided to stay and not go? Grand Master Gao and those people left last night. Also, have you ever seen that person when you entered the palace?" ? I’m afraid you can’t even enter the palace gate?”

"The old man went there yesterday, but I didn't see him."

Zheshang's writing was gloomy, and he had already guessed something bad.

"Of course I can't get in and I can't see it. The palace is empty. That person has already gone south a few days ago and ordered the palace gate to be sealed. Otherwise, do you think Grand Master Gao and the others dare to run away early?"

Boom!

He slammed his fist hard on the sandalwood table, his veins were exposed and his face was ferocious.

The old man took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions, sighed, and suddenly he no longer hated those who fled at night, yes, who is not afraid of dead bodies, even the immortals of Chunyang Palace and Western Sect can't help it, and the fall of several big cities in a row can no longer be reported Any news, some monks used precious photo stones to record the dead city, no living people...

Survival is instinct, who doesn't want to live well.

"Zhemou won't leave, and he will serve as Minister of the Ministry of War at the age of sixty. This life is enough, and he should live and die with the soldiers and common people in the city."

"You... Forget it, you were so stubborn back then, and I will stay with you."

"Brother Dong doesn't have to be like this."

"Actually, I don't want to do the thing of abandoning the whole city and fleeing for my life. Besides, I have lived for most of my life and I don't want to leave. It doesn't matter if you and I are old bones. The family members in the house still have to make arrangements. Take them out of town and down south."

"Thank you."

"Hey, I hope the tide of corpses won't go south..."

The two soaking officials sighed silently. Perhaps they are now the highest officials of the capital, and it is because of their persistence that the thousand-year-old city has been firmly guarded to this day.

Just as he was sighing, an official untied the letter from the carrier pigeon's feet, checked it and ran to Zheshang's book panting.

"My lord! Urgent letter! There is news from the demon army!"

Shangshu Zhe surname hurriedly got up to take the small letter, opened it and looked confused.

"The demon army is here. Although I don't like to be with beasts and monsters, I am the strongest reinforcement right now."
