In Nanzheng City, Xingyuan Prefecture, it was the time when the lanterns were first lit. The highest Hanwang Platform was also bustling with bright lights, feasting, singing and dancing. Because the generals and generals of the conquering army who had returned victoriously received a banquet from Xingyuan Mansion that was like a celebration of success.
To this end, Duan Xianmo, who was the Shaoyin of Xingyuan Prefecture, not only requisitioned and chartered the Hanwang Terrace, the scenic spot with the best view and scenery in the city, but also specially recruited the best music troupe from the local Jiaofangsi branch. , and there are also a lot of lively Kabuki and dancers accompanying the performance.
Besides Duan Xianmo, who is temporarily vacant due to his resignation, Duan Xianmo, who is essentially the head of the general affairs of the government; the other chiefs of the Shannan West Road, such as the chief administrator, transfer officer, inspector, etc., as well as the chiefs of the three departments and four envoys and government offices, also have their own duties. Send your own children or close subordinates to support you.
In addition, there are also the internal supervisors in charge of the local palaces and gardens, the event officers and commanders of the Wude Division of Xingyuan Prefecture, the Nanzheng United Army Envoys affiliated to Xingyuan Prefecture, and several guards in the territory. Show your face and participate in this special post-war aftermath social event.
Therefore, with such a well-equipped civil and military lineup, the generals of the expeditionary army who were lucky enough to be present were a little flattered or frightened. However, Jiang Tian knew something about their plans, and he just took a fancy to these generals who had experience in crusading.
What's more, they originally came from different places and belonged to different yamen; therefore, in addition to the Jinwu guards and Gyeonggi soldiers brought by Jiang Di, the other military orders and numbers were probably all powerful figures in these places. The target of secretly wooing and negotiating for carving up.
Among them, the most popular one with the most promising future is undoubtedly Pang Xun, the Ningwu town general who personally participated in and commanded the entire battle from beginning to end as the temporarily assigned deputy in the army. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that, and he will soon have the opportunity to take a step further.
Although the military order set up by the imperial court at border passes and local key points was nothing more than the four levels of army (envoy), city (guarding and capturing), town (general), and garrison (chief); however, Shannan West Road was located in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and there were no There is a need to set up a dedicated army, and only Xingyuan Mansion can set up a number of guards.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the five towns in Shanxi under the jurisdiction of the Dudu Mansion are the main combat forces of the thirteen states in the province to deal with various local emergencies. Ningwu Town, where Pang Xun was appointed, is located on the western boundary of Lizhou, adjacent to Wuzhou on Longyou Road and Longzhou on Dongchuan Road and other places where Qiang and Hu are mixed.
After the fall of Tubo and the establishment of the Qing and Tang Dynasty Governor's Palace, Nanzhao also became the Nanping Governor's Palace. The Western Qiang people who were near the so-called Xishan Eight Kingdoms also led their troops to return to the Tang Dynasty in large numbers, and became Shanxi, Dongchuan, Between the various roads in Longyou, there are many Jisuzhous (settlements).
However, not all Qiang people were accustomed to the settled life after being naturalized in the Tang Dynasty; thus they became bandits in the mountains. There are also constant conflicts and disputes between these ethnic groups and tribes, and from time to time it is necessary for the nearby imperial garrison to intervene and provide armed mediation in time;
In order to avoid affecting and spreading the Tao, other enlightened areas that have already attached themselves to Wang Hua. Therefore, in a sense, the Ningwu Town led by Pang Xun can be regarded as the most experienced team in the entire Shannan West Road with experience in mountainous combat and daily conflict response. This time nothing less will be reused.
Therefore, after Duan Xianmo, Shaoyin of Xingyuan Prefecture, who was the host and convener, left the banquet for some reason, the banquet became a stage for everyone present to show off their magical powers. And Pang Xun, who was surrounded by everyone, became a kind of focus, and he could not resist the constant persuasion;
Seeing that his face was red and drunk, he was a little unsteady on his feet. However, Jiang Tian stood alone at the edge of the banquet hall, holding a glass cup with animal mouth and silver flowers, looking at the cityscape of thousands of lights; his ears rang with the laughter of the generals who were beginning to show off their bodies.
Although people of all kinds kept trying to come over to greet him or greet him, they were all politely stopped by the two followers who had been standing by in advance. Because Jiang Tian specifically confessed that he needed to be alone in order to think about things properly.
And below this railing, there is a school ground in the center of the city opposite the government office; where the trophies that the expeditionary army managed to get back from the mountains are placed and displayed. The only remaining head of the cave beast, and the entire skeleton of the beast in the pool, the armored beast
body...
Although the beast tide gathered in the mountains this time has been completely defeated and quelled by the power gathered by the local authorities; and the cave beast that was the potential source of the problem has also been successfully solved; but there are still some follow-up actions left. Finally, continued pursuit and investigation are needed.
For example, the origin of the cave beast. The decoration of the cave itself at the end of the small valley looks like a product of ancient times; but the giant beast covered with follicles on a large wall is obviously only born in recent years. When cleaning up the scene afterwards, more than a dozen half-dead offspring were found.
Through on-site containment experiments, it was discovered that the offspring born from these follicles have parasitic and coexistence distortion effects on various living creatures, especially mammals. It's just like the mycelium and granulation proliferating from the mummy underground in the Xijing branch, and its derivatives, flesh and blood.
Therefore, based on the known number of observed follicles, it has the ability to create a large number of deformed animals in a short period of time; this explains the original doubts. However, these alien beasts spawned in large numbers also have very obvious weaknesses, that is, they need to eat a lot to maintain themselves.
Otherwise, not only will the survival time be very short, but the flesh and blood will break apart and die easily. However, on the other hand, these alien beasts parasitized by quilt bodies seem to be particularly sensitive to sound rays of certain frequencies; this has also become an indirect control method used by those behind the scenes.
It was also because of the violent explosions and sounds produced by the gunpowder, and the yellow smoke produced later by the special extract, that destroyed the senses of these newly born alien beasts to varying degrees, causing them to completely lose control. It also forced the black hand who was hiding behind the scenes to throw in ghosts and armored beasts.
On the other hand, these snake-like flesh-worm-like hatched/half-hatched offspring seem to have extremely tenacious vitality. Even if they are burned by flames, violent explosions, or crushed by rocks, they cannot be completely killed. Instead, they are exposed to flesh and blood. After that, it will quickly penetrate and absorb and regain its activity;
Therefore, Jiang Tian ordered to try several other chemical ingredients derived from three acids and two bases on the spot. As a result, it was unexpectedly discovered that this kind of sporozoal flesh insect is actually seriously intolerant to quicklime water. It will cause severe ulceration and melting when it comes in contact with it, and it desperately avoids similar smells.
In addition, in that small valley, apart from the groups of strange beasts that were wiped out, no trace of a ghost was found; and some places in there that were obviously inhabited by people were also hastily abandoned in a short period of time. The traces are like the mouth of a valley that has been blocked haphazardly.
Then, not far from the mouth of the valley, several fairly hidden mountain trails winding up the mountain were found; and when a specialized search team followed these trails, they actually appeared in the neighboring county. In the boundary; he also ran into the civilians who were building a blockade in the area.
Regarding this, Jiang Tian also had some incomplete conjectures. This cave should have been a place of worship for the ancients; but the abnormal vacuole appeared in the world recently due to some kind of change. Therefore, the energy emanating from it, together with the small valley, are regarded as a breeding ground for poison.
Then, for some reason, some of them escaped out of control, which also aroused the vigilance of the local government and subsequent crackdowns. Only then did a series of events and changes occur. Therefore, after the night attack failed, the mastermind behind the scenes also decisively abandoned this place where strange beasts could be continuously produced.
Therefore, this time it only solved the threat of the beast tide in the mountains, but it did not completely solve the human factors that caused this beast disaster. However, Jiang Tian was not without other gains. After the bubble collapsed, the free energy condensed into a "space seed (collapse)"
Then the "Dimensional Bubble" template was automatically strengthened. The other thing was the large stone slab that Jiang Tian brought out from the void. It was the only one with no signs of damage and differentiation, no energy response, and no known purpose. There are at least three secret threats that Jiang Tian knows about.
For example: behind Le Xingda, there is a secret organization "Wutian" that has been dormant among the ruling and opposition parties for many years; Ma Qianzhu, the master of the underground city in Dongdu, is the behind-the-scenes supporter, codenamed "Taiyin Messenger (Wangshu)" ; The animal-worshiping association and the peripheral organization Qilin Society, which constantly cause animal disasters.
Before that, there was also the mysterious man "Ling Lang" who had intervened in many incidents, the most important person of the observer Gao Wentai. However, after the incident in the Forbidden Garden, he no longer has the ability.
There is no possibility or opportunity to crawl out from the ground and continue to harm others.
While Jiang Tian was thinking about it, he saw Pang Xun, his face flushed, already breaking away from the crowd; and he was walking towards this side staggeringly. Holding a silver cup in his hand, he continued to mutter something: "Supervisor...Old Pang, I...must..."
Jiang Tian nodded slightly, and the two servants who stood beside the corridor in silence like door gods calmly made way for him. However, when Pang Xun came closer, Jiang Tian could see clearly that although his face was red and his movements were slow, there was not much drunkenness in his eyes.
"Supervisor, I don't know when we will see each other again after this farewell, but all the benefits and humbleness are unforgettable." Pang Xun, with a sullen face, slightly raised the silver cup in his hand and said, "I hope you don't want it." Dislike it, in the future we can continue to communicate with each other and give you more advice..."
Jiang Tian was about to say something when suddenly something flashed in front of his eyes. Then, a ball of blood suddenly spattered from the chest of Pang Xun, who was wearing a scarlet robe and a crown. Then, it turned into screams and exclamations throughout the hall.
