This god is really evil

Chapter 166 Didn’t we agree on dozens of people?
The roar seemed to ring in everyone's ears at the same time. Although there was the sound of wind and snow, it still could not cover up the roar.

Liu Yunhe frowned, and said as he climbed onto his horse:
"What is this sound?"

Li Yan and others mounted their horses at this time. Li Yan did not say anything, but bowed and smiled to Li Hu who was standing at the door of the post station behind him. Then he took the lead in riding out of the post station and headed towards Qinghe County.

Seeing Li Yan like this, Liu Yunhe and the other two hurriedly followed, not knowing what Li Yan was up to.

After running a few miles, Li Yan said to Liu Yunhe:

"During the days when Master Liu was away, I recruited some of the evil cult members I had captured as informants. I received a tip last night that the Thousand Eyes Cult was planning to kill County Magistrate Song Kaida, and I think it might be about to start now."

After a pause, he continued:

"Master Liu, the county governor has a 3,000-square-meter demon camp, so he is naturally not afraid of those evil cult monsters. However, Qinghe County still needs our guards, so we'd better return to the city quickly."

Liu Yunhe was shocked. He didn't expect that what Li Yan said was actually true.

If it was before meeting the county magistrate Song Kaida, Liu Yunhe might have returned to the post station and stayed with the Pingyao Camp to resist the attacks of the evil cult monsters.

But after meeting Song Kaida and realizing that the other party was just a beast in human skin, Liu Yunhe naturally lost interest in such things.

Originally, as an official from the Imperial Observatory, he had a strong hatred for those evil cults and heresies, and a clear sense of right and wrong.

And now, after going through so many things and realizing that the wise emperor he had imagined was nothing but a man-eating monster, he has completely discarded some of his previous obsessions.

Only the common people, only the people of Da Qi, are what he truly cares about.

He nodded and said:
"In that case, it's a good thing. If these evil cult monsters can stop the demon-suppressing camp, or even defeat it, it will save the hundreds of thousands of people in Qinghe County."

Li Yan shook his head slightly and said:

"These evil cult monsters are not good people. To the county governor and those monsters, the common people are just fish on the chopping board. The only difference is who gets to eat them. It's better to let them fight to the point of both sides being injured, so that the common people can reap the benefits."

Liu Yunhe sighed:
"The so-called sitting back and reaping the benefits is nothing more than being able to survive. As the saying goes, when prosperity comes, the people suffer; when decline comes, the people suffer. It's difficult, difficult, difficult!"

Li Yan lowered his voice and continued:

"Master Liu, I got news from an informant that the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance might start a rebellion throughout Da Qi. If that's true, Master Liu must be more vigilant. Not to mention the distant future, the people of Qinghe County and even the entire Anding County may have to rely on Master Liu for protection."

Liu Yunhe's eyes widened and his body trembled on the horse.

The Gods Alliance is going to rebel! ?
If this is true, the entire Da Qi will be in a precarious situation!
He did not ask whether the news was reliable. He just thought about the suffering of the people he had seen during his investigation and realized that it was most likely true.

After all, the people of Da Qi were suffering so much that many of them would not be able to survive unless they rebelled...

If this is true, he must live for the people!

After hearing Li Yan's words, everyone fell silent and stopped talking.

If there really were to be a rebellion among the Ten Thousand Gods, it is conceivable that the entire Da Qi would be in a state of chaos.

This piece of news was so heavy that the three of them were unable to digest it for a while, and they just kept on going.

As they approached Qinghe County, they suddenly discovered that in the distant wilderness, there were dozens or even hundreds of figures heading towards the post station where the county magistrate Song Kaida was.

These people were all dressed in white, with white cloth wrapped around their bodies as cloaks. In this snowy weather, they would be almost unrecognizable if you didn't look closely from a close distance.

They all held weapons in their hands, some even had axes, pitchforks, and hoes. They looked like a mob, but they were all organized and listened to the organizer's words.

After seeing the four riders of Li Yan and others, most of these people stopped, their faces gloomy, with murderous intent in their eyes, and a hint of fear, but no conflict occurred.

Instead, he stood by the roadside, quietly waiting for the four people to pass, and then set off again.

The four of them now all understood that these people must be cultists!

Liu Yunhe couldn't help but feel awe-struck.

How can there be so many! ?

Moreover, these cultists are divided into small groups and gather and disperse in a rush, making it even harder to guard against them.

The organizational ability of the Pantheon is evident.

When they finally arrived at Qinghe County, they saw that the entire county had its four gates closed. On the city wall, a group of yamen runners and constables, as well as the Xuanzhengyuan's extermination cavalry, were patrolling.

At the city gate where several people were, the leader was the head of the police Zhao Mengsheng.

Seeing Li Yan coming back, Zhao Mengsheng did not dare to delay and quickly ordered the door to be opened.

After entering the city, Zhao Mengsheng immediately whispered, without waiting for Li Yan to ask:
"Lord Li, Lord Niuma Niu, the head of the Xuanzhengyuan, ordered the city gates to be closed. It is said that he was following the order of Lord Shentu Yun, the head of the Xuanzhengyuan of Anding County..."

"Right now, the extermination cavalry from the Xuanzhengyuan are patrolling the city. People are strictly prohibited from leaving the city. People are in a panic now, and no one knows what happened..."

Li Yan nodded slightly, understanding that it must be Shen Tu Yun who followed the order of the county magistrate Song Kaida and placed the entire Qinghe County under martial law before the arrival of the 3,000-square-meter demon camp.

When the army of the Demon-Suppressing Camp arrived, they naturally began to search and arrest people from house to house.

But Shen Tuyun probably never dreamed that Song Kaida might not be able to reach Qinghe County. He looked at Liu Yunhe and said to Zhao Mengsheng:

"Since it is Lord Shentu's order, then we should execute it well and tell the brothers not to worry. Everything is just to welcome the arrival of Lord County Magistrate."

Hearing Li Yan say this, Zhao Mengsheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said happily:
"So it's the county governor who's coming! I was wondering why he was so serious!"

Then he suddenly thought of something, looked around, and asked Li Yan in a low voice:
"Sir Li, the county magistrate is here to investigate the blood spirit case, right? This..."

Li Yan patted his shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, with Master Liu and I here, nothing will happen."

Thinking of the reputation of Li Yan and Liu Yunhe, Zhao Mengsheng finally felt relieved. He clasped his fists again and went on patrol with his detectives.

Li Yan and his three companions did not return to the Sitianjian government office at this time, but looked directly towards the post station in the wind and snow from the city wall.

The post station was far away to begin with, and with the wind and snow blowing, the sky and the earth were all white, so how could we see clearly?

Liu Yunhe now understood that not only the entire Da Qi, but also Qinghe County might have reached a critical moment of life and death. For a moment, he was extremely confused and had a lot on his mind. He sat on the city wall, staring at the wind and snow in a daze.

Li Yan sighed and strolled along the city wall.

Looking into the city from the city wall, Qinghe County was quiet at this time and the people had all hidden in their homes.

Only some exorcist cavalrymen rode fast horses and roared through the city in a show of force.

What they were guarding against was not some evil monster, but the people in this city.

According to Shentu Yun's orders, they were now only waiting for the arrival of the demon-suppressing camp led by County Magistrate Song Kaida.

Li Yan walked to a battlement at this time and saw a thin constable with a beard and a sallow face, guarding there with a spear in his hand.

When Li Yan walked over, the constable, wearing a straw raincoat, stared at the wind and snow outside and whispered:
"Son, what a good plan. I have already passed the message from you to Gongsun Mou. Gongsun Mou has already mobilized all the elite members of the Thousand Eyes Sect and rushed towards the county governor Song Kaida."

The voice was very gentle, and it was Yu Pianran who had disguised herself.

“According to Gongsun Mou’s intention, once he captures Song Kaida, he will turn around and lead his troops to attack Qinghe County, and ask us to help him open the city gates… But I see that the Exterminating Evil Cavalry in the city is very powerful, and there are Liu Yunhe and Shen Tuyun in charge. My Yuhua Association has just been recuperating, and if we really get involved, all our assets will be gone…”

Yu Pianran's voice was filled with anxiety and panic.

Faced with such a situation, she was also unsure.

Li Yan smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Grand Priest. The County Magistrate Song Kaida is not so easy to catch... I have left a mark for Gongsun Mou, and the rest depends on his luck..."

……

In the wind and snow, the sky and the earth were vast and dark. Gongsun Mou, with five thousand elite soldiers, was rushing towards the post station where the county magistrate Song Kaida was.

He didn't know where Song Kaida was, but there was a man with white eyes next to him, staring at the snow in front of him. He stopped from time to time and took out a red bean from under the snow.

This man was none other than a priest of the Thousand Eyes Cult. Even though the snow in front of him was thick, in his pupil technique, it seemed as if it did not exist at all.

He presented the red bean to Gongsun Mou and said:
"Master Jijiu, these red beans are connected in a line, pointing very clearly to that post village."

Gongsun Mou was sitting in a sedan chair with eight bearers at this time, wearing a luxurious felt hat inlaid with white jade. Although it was the coldest time of the year, he was still waving a feather fan and smiled faintly:
"That Holy Son of Yuhua was right in guiding me to find the location of County Magistrate Song Kaida, which was a great achievement."

These red beans were the marks left by Li Yan on his way to Yi Village in accordance with the agreement he had made with Gongsun Mou.

At this time, the post village had appeared in the distance before everyone's eyes.

Scouts have reported back that there are only a few dozen people in the post station, just as Saint Yuhua had said before.

Gongsun Mou raised the corner of his mouth slightly, came out of the sedan chair, and said grimly:

"My men, raise my banner!"

As he spoke, the soldiers behind him immediately raised a large banner, with a few blood-red characters on it that stood out in the wind and snow:

[Gongsun Mou, the Lantern Master of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance]

At this time, in the surrounding wilderness, those Thousand-Eyed Cult followers who had been broken up into small groups had already swarmed over like ants. There were as many as 20,000 to 30,000 of them, and they had arrived in front of the post village in the wilderness.

At the post station, a large flag was also erected, with a few large gilded characters written on it:

【Song, the governor of Anding County】

Immediately before the people of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance could react, they heard a cannon shot in the post village in front of them. Then, teams of soldiers from the Demon-Suppressing Camp, armed to the teeth, poured out from all over the post village and lined up in front of the post station.

On the high platform on the second floor of the post station, Song Kaida looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance pouring in from all over the mountains and plains, and Gongsun Mou, who saw the elite soldiers of the three thousand square demon camp, both took a deep breath.

They all asked the same question:
"Why so many!?"
