At the city gate.
Lin Zhi was arguing with a man on the city tower. There were only a few soldiers around, waiting for a decision with indifferent expressions.
A group of people with unknown origins gathered under the city tower did not increase the city gate's defense. For these peripheral soldiers, they were used to seeing the life and death of the people in the city, and they were already numb.
"Fairy Linzhi, I heard that a group of monks have come outside the city to defect to Linzhi. The King of Heroes asked me to come and take a look."
Li Xiaobai went up to the tower and said with a smile.
There were more than thirty young monks under the city, and they were actually the same group of monks who came with Zhang Biao.
When they left Wuming City, they parted ways and chose to stay in the city. How long had passed before they became so embarrassed.
The whole body was dirty and the clothes were ragged. It seemed that there was indeed something strange in the city.
"Thank you, Mr. Li. I have already asked. These are the monks who have just entered the Starry Sky Ancient Road. They are all good players in the sects from all sides and have considerable strength."
"Furthermore, the skin around them is smooth and there are no wounds or bite marks. They should be allowed to enter the city. After a rest, they will definitely be able to use our Lincheng combat power!"
Lin Zhi said angrily.
"You know during times like this, we don't have the energy to care about other people!"
"Regardless of whether they have been bitten or not, we cannot let stranger monks into the city. What if they have evil thoughts in their minds?"
"Are you going to put the entire city in danger just to save a few of them?"
The man pushed Lin Zhi and said coldly.
In this dangerous moment, let alone a stranger whom you don’t know, even if your own father is in the city, you can’t open the door!
Lin Zhi was angry: "Lin Xiaohua, let me say it again, they are not in danger, living corpses will come at any time, we must hurry up and save them!"
The man screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Don't call me by my name, I'm your second brother!"
"Senior Li, is that Senior Li up there!"
Suddenly there was an exclamation from the city.
Li Xiaobai looked at her and saw that she was a girl, she looked a bit familiar.
"It's me. Aren't you staying in the Nameless City? Why did you run out?"
"We were wrong. The Nameless City is not safe at all. There are huge unknown creatures below that city. Just a sneeze can kill Zhang Biao and the others physically and mentally."
The girl said sadly.
"Did you encounter any living corpses when you came here?"
"No... never..."
Li Xiaobai turned around and said, "I think it's okay."
"Second brother, you see Mr. Li said there is no problem..."
Lin Zhi looked at Lin Xiaohua and stopped mid-sentence.
Lin Xiaohua suddenly nodded: "Well, since you all think it's okay, let's let the people in."
"Second brother...what did you say?"
Lin Zhi couldn't believe her ears.
Lin Xiaohua refused to open the door a second ago, but why did he suddenly change his attitude?
"Hurry up and open the door. If a living corpse appears, it won't be easy for them to come in."
Lin Xiaohua urged, his face expressionless and his tone cold.
"Come here, open the city gate!"
Lin Zhi hurriedly ordered the soldiers on the side to open the city gate and welcome more than thirty monks into the city.
"Thank you Fairy Lin, thank you Senior Li, thank you Master Lin!"
Entering the city, the monks thanked him one after another, their faces full of gratitude.
No one knows what kind of suffering they experienced after being separated from Li Xiaobai.
Li Xiaobai stared at the ankle of the girl who had just spoken to him. There was a small crack in the skirt of that piece, which was in a circle. The skin under the crack was smooth and there was no trace of a wound.
But Li Xiaobai knew that this was just an appearance. The living corpse rat he came into contact with for the first time also gnawed on his ankles without hesitation, and the same cracks were found on the trouser legs. This girl was not invulnerable, at least he had the ability to be attacked by living corpses. The corpse had been bitten by a rat.
"Haosheng arrange them, and I will reply to your father. The fairy has a pure character and will be praised by the King of Heroes."
Li Xiaobai smiled lightly.
"Thank you, Senior Li!"
Lin Zhi was delighted, feeling that she had done a rare good deed and saved people in troubled times, which was an immeasurable merit.
As for Lin Xiaohua, he didn't speak anymore and just silently followed and escorted more than 30 monks from behind.
After Lin Zhi and his party were out of sight, Yu Huanshui spoke: "Yu just viewed Lin Xiaohua's memory. The dignitaries are all in the Health Hall, and he alone is responsible for the order in the city."
Li Xiaobai asked: "Ling Zhi calls him second brother, but do you know where the eldest brother is?"
Yu Huanshui: "Died in battle."
Da Jianbi: "How can he be responsible for order in such a big city? Aren't you afraid of something happening?"
"Cleverness leads to mistakes. This should be the arrangement of the King of Heroes. He wants to deepen the connection between his children and the people in order to gain a higher reputation."
In order to contain the King of Heroes, the Prime Minister's faction put all their connections into the Health Palace and handed over the order of the city to Lin Xiaohua.
After all, maintaining order is just a trivial matter. If you do it well, the people will not be grateful. If you do it wrong, it will be used by the King of Heroes. This is also the reason why Lin Zhi went out of the city to seek support.
"Unfortunately, this has also completely cut off the connection between the Health Palace and the outside world. The group of monks who just entered the city have been bitten. Although I cannot see the condition of all of them, I can at least confirm that one of them has been bitten by a living corpse rat. Mutation is just a matter of time.”
Li Xiaobai said lightly: "Have you modified Lin Xiaohua's memory?"
"Of course, I will let him take full orders from Lin Zhi."
"Great, let's go back to the Health Palace, have a good meal and drink, and just wait patiently!"
…
After a cup of tea.
The four of them returned to the Health Palace.
There was still singing and dancing in the hall, and there was no tension at all.
"How is the outside world?"
The King of Heroes asked.
"We can't see the living corpses for the time being. More than thirty monks outside the city were blocked by Mr. Lin. Although Fairy Lin argued hard, Mr. Lin believed that the enemy was facing a formidable enemy and he should not accept strangers into the city."
Li Xiaobai vaguely talked about the matter at the city gate, only explaining the attitudes of both parties, but not whether anyone was let in.
But the superiors who pride themselves on being smart have already acquiesced that Lin Xiaohua will block the monks from outside, and they would do the same in other circumstances.
"My lord, I am afraid that there is something wrong at this time. Rejecting the people of other cities will make the relationship between Lincheng and the surrounding cities rigid. In the opinion of the veteran, a notice needs to be issued on this matter to elaborate on the dangers in order to prevent the world from misunderstanding Lincheng. .”
"My grandson has been fighting abroad for many years and has made good friends with several cities. I leave this matter to him to make sure nothing goes wrong."
The Prime Minister bowed and said with a slight smile.
"Well, that's right. He's better than my two untalented grandchildren. I'll leave this matter to the Prime Minister."
The King of Heroes said in a deep voice.
"I don't dare. Both Zhi'er and Xiaohua are very good children, but they just lack experience. With the help of their grandson, Lao Chen, they will definitely mature quickly."
The prime minister said cheerfully, looking at the young man in white robe with a slightly proud look in his eyes.
The more the King of Heroes does, the more mistakes he makes. In just a few days, the health palace will almost surpass the King of Heroes in terms of supporters for him. By then, he will raise the banner again and conquer the living corpses. Take over as the new city lord!
