It is a world of evil, demons and chaos.
Natural resources, earthly treasures, food and nourishment. As long as one has good teeth and can chew well, and a strong fire and can melt anything, anything can be used as fuel for the Zhou Kao and Xiao Tai Sui.
The fierce general on the city wall was like a mad demon, stirring up a storm of blood and gore. Master Gu in the Red Dragon Army took a closer look and just opened his Dharma eyes when he cried out "Ouch", closed his eyes tightly and burst into tears.
"Master Gu!"
"I'm fine, but I never expected that man to be so murderous and so bright."
Master Gu just wanted to get a glimpse of the other party's fortune, but the other party was full of murderous intent, and his body was covered with flames, like sharp needles, which hurt his eyes at that time.
"I know! That must be Mr. Zhou! Hahahahahahahaha..."
The old general was overjoyed.
"Having such a brave general is a blessing to our army! It is also a blessing for Dayu!!"
Zhou Kao was in high spirits of killing, and the demons had no chance of matching him. He could kill off those with cultivation below a hundred years with just one sword strike and one kick. The demons had nowhere to escape, and they fled in panic, crying for their parents as they were chased by Tai Sui.
When Wang Jiaqi saw that there was no big monster among the monsters, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his judgment was correct. However, he was still quite afraid in his heart. Taishan Sanlang had run away, and the hatred was formed.
Qiantang County might face disaster in the future, but I don’t know whether Wang Jiaqi and Zhou Yixian will still be around by then.
"Fellow villagers! Follow me to kill the monster—"
I had been holding back so much anger that I was originally powerless to resist. But now, with someone taking the lead and backing me up, I suddenly took revenge and complained.
Zhou Kao is a martial arts expert, and ordinary people are no match for him. For a monster who has cultivated for ten years, killing a few ordinary people is no problem at all.
In the defense of Qiantang County, there were quite a few casualties.
In some low-lying areas, the houses were still flooded by the sudden impact of the tide.
Some were drowned.
Many young men and sisters whose fathers and brothers were either dead or injured mustered up the courage to wield sticks, door bolts, or kitchen knives and bricks, for no other reason than to vent their anger!
"Kill the demon—"
The shouts and cries of killing in the city were deafening, and the army outside the city was all encouraged.
All I saw was that no one was afraid of the rolling muddy water, and the people dared to kill the monster in a rage.
"Kill the monster!!!!"
On the top of the city wall, Wang Jiaqi personally beat the big drum that was made by the bull demon. His official power was so great that the sound of the drum was like thunder, which actually dispelled the haze on the top of the city wall, and the remaining demonic fog was suddenly shattered.
In an instant, a ray of sunlight descended from the sky, and the entire Qiantang County... was dawn.
A red sun gradually rises, and the waves above the East China Sea are huge, but not as violent as those in Qiantang County.
When the red sun rises again, the evil fog will dissipate and the people will be happy.
The Red Dragon Army was full of vigor and marched straight in, but when the army arrived at the city, they found that they had not done anything.
When the local people saw the Longxiang Army, although they expressed gratitude, from the county magistrate to the children, they all treated them as passers-by.
Wang Jiaqi was even more furious. If the army hadn't arrived in time, no matter how much of a delay there was, how could they have held on so hard?
If Zhou Kao hadn't taken over, the demon would have already conquered Qiantang County and made it his base!
What would the people of this city do then?
Master Gu saw that every house in the city was hanging white silk, and he felt guilty for not being able to see through the demon king's plan in time. He was still thinking about destroying the offending demon.
Find Wang Jiaqi and promise to pray for the souls of those who died in this battle, heal the wounded, and turn all the farmland submerged by the flood into a sweet rain, so that there will be a good harvest next year.
and many more.
At this time, Zhou Kao and he brought the little Tai Sui to the table. There was a plate of crystal pork elbow, a bowl of braised donkey meat, and a dish of dragon beard crisps. They opened their mouths and ate them all. Since Zhou Kao went to defend the city, they had eaten less good food.
Is the “Carp Girl” distracted and missing him day and night?
I am afraid that something might happen to my husband on the battlefield, and I am also afraid that he will be invincible on the battlefield.
She felt sad when Zhou Kao was injured and defeated; she wanted to leave early and go to the East China Sea when Zhou Kao defeated thousands of troops.
This is really a dilemma and I am in a state of confusion.
She hasn’t even performed the Duke of Zhou ceremony with Zhou Kao yet!
"Where is Zhou Kao in Beiguo County?"
Yu Niang's pretty face turned slightly cold, and she rolled her eyes madly.
What the hell! Someone disturbed the rare time I had alone with Zhou Lang.
With a delicate sigh, she returned to her shell and became isolated.
Outside the guesthouse, several burly men came to the door. They were dressed in armor and armed with sharp weapons, and they looked murderous. People passing by avoided them from a distance.
But after Zhou Kao went out, these armored soldiers were actually shorter than him.
"I am Zhou Kao. What do you want from me?"
"..."
"..."
Several soldiers were stunned for a moment, looking at each other, and one of them whispered, "Didn't they say he was a scholar?"
"But they also say that this scholar has the ability to exorcise demons and monsters."
"To exorcise demons and monsters, isn't it the same magic that Master Gu uses?"
"Maybe this is another family tradition..."
An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.
Zhou Kao just stood there. He was tall, although a little slender compared to them, but his imposing manner was so majestic that several veterans dared not make a sound.
They all subconsciously spoke cautiously, "Congratulations, Minister Zhou. Our General Lin has heard that Minister Zhou is quite brave and has the ability to slay demons and monsters, so he has recommended you as a full-fledged centurion. The documents from the Ministry of War are already on the way. General Lin also said that since you are still young, you can be promoted to a captain in two years!"
"Hundred households?"
Zhou Kao frowned slightly.
"The Autumn Examination is approaching, and I still need to take the exam. Please forgive me for not resigning."
"That's a legitimate centurion, Mr. Zhou. Your father was only a small flag officer in the Pacification Division. Now he's a centurion, which is a real honor for the family!"
Zhou Kao laughed and answered seriously.
"If I pass the imperial examination, it will bring honor to my family. Why do this? Even if I want to become a centurion, I have fought my way to it. I don't need a general or marshal to recommend me. A man of honor and fame must rely on his own hands."
Zhou Kao had said this a long time ago.
Chapter 73: No Injustice Under Zhou Kao's Fist
After saying this, Zhou Kao said to the men,
"I won't make it difficult for you. Please lead the way. I will go and explain to General Lin myself."
"please!"
"Please come in, Mr. Zhou!"
"please!"
The soldiers thought this was the arrogance of a scholar, but from Zhou Kao's words, they did not feel any discomfort.
Zhou Kao did not make things difficult for them and still wanted to go see General Lin. This made the soldiers feel that Mr. Zhou was upright and straightforward.
The Red Dragon Army did not enter the city, but stationed outside the city.
After reporting, he passed through the gate and entered. He saw that the temporary camp was mostly made up of tents. The soldiers were not lazy, some were resting, some were exercising, but they all had a neat appearance and did not look ruffian.
It can be seen that General Lin is a wise man who knows how to command the army.
"General, student Zhou from Beiguo passed the exam!"
"Come in."
In the military tent, General Lin was sitting reading a book when suddenly a bright light appeared inside. He was startled for a moment as he saw a man enter. He immediately praised him, "What a man!"
Zhou Kao clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Zhou Kao of Beiguo, greetings to General Lin."
"No need to be so polite, no need to be so polite..."
General Lin was overjoyed. He quickly stood up and walked to Zhou Kao, grabbing his arm and saying, "Oh, having a brave general like Xiao Zhou will surely greatly increase the prestige of our army!"
"Old General."
Zhou Kao stood there, raised his head and said solemnly, "I am grateful to the old general for his kindness in promoting me to the rank of centurion. However, I beg your pardon for not accepting the position."
"Ugh……"
I thought General Lin would be unhappy, but he actually sighed and patted Zhou Kao's arm.
"You are a scholar after all, and the imperial examination is the right path."
"Old General, please report."
"Oh?"
"I don't underestimate military positions, but being a centurion is not enough."
Zhou Kao looked at General Lin and said directly without hiding anything.
"There are several successful candidates in my hometown who allow their slaves to commit crimes and bully the people in the market. I have long wanted to eliminate this evil, but my fame is too low to compete with them. After I pass the imperial examination, I will use my reputation to eliminate the evil and bring justice to my fellow villagers!"
At that time, not only in his hometown Beiguo County, but also in several surrounding counties where Zhou Kao had traveled, he had to deal with bullies that he could not stand.
"If this is the case, I can help right now."
"If I can't eradicate violence and protect the good, I won't be happy. I will definitely strip those people of their honor and fame, and bring shame upon their entire families, bringing them three generations of low status."
This is another kind of method, which is to cut the grass at its roots.
"..."
Zhou Kao's calm words shocked the veteran General Lin.
After a moment of silence, the old general whispered, "Why implicate the innocent..."
"When you exploited the people, your wives, families, and even servants. Your food and shelter were the people's blood and sweat, weren't they? And every piece of clothing you wore was taken by force?"
"This……"
"They benefit from exploitation, but also suffer the guilt of exploitation. Those people, young and old, high and low, are all stained with the blood of the people!!! Zhou's fists..."
Zhou Kao slowly raised his palm and clenched it into a fist.
“Never injustice”
Zhou Kao bid farewell to General Lin, walked into the city, and walked around to see where he could help.
The mud on the main road was cleared, and most of the bodies were moved out of the city and buried one by one.
The victims also began to return to their homes one after another and started to take care of and clean the affected houses. However, as the pain of the disaster gradually subsided, in the past two days, whether day or night, there were people crying for their loved ones and paying tribute to the dead souls.
The grief of losing a loved one can only be healed by the power of time.
On the roofs and along the roadsides, people also set up clothes racks to dry their clothes.
When Zhou Kao walked to a place in the north of the city, he saw some people watching there, so he walked forward.
It was inside a shop. Although it was flooded, you could vaguely see that it was a teahouse.
There were a few men resting nearby, talking about the haunted shop.
"Alas, the old man from the Zhang family was poisoned to death by a poisonous insect while killing a demon a few days ago. The water here can't be drained out, and the collapsed house is blocked by silt. I'm afraid the wife of the Zhang family and her child are in great danger!"
"Isn't it! I heard that the child's crying has been heard for a long time these days. Could it be haunted?!"
"Hey, this place is the worst hit by floods in the city."
Zhou Kao frowned when he heard this. After he walked out, he really heard the sound of a baby crying in the shop. Although it was faint, it was real and clear.
The room was dark, and with the resentment of the wrongful death still lingering, the wronged soul hiding inside had begun to condense into a ghost form. After becoming a ghost, the baby had no wisdom, only instincts, so it was not impossible for it to cry out in advance.
"Mr. Zhou is here"
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
When the men who were resting saw Zhou Kao striding towards them, they all stood up and greeted him.
Zhou Kao nodded: "Is this shop haunted?"
