Cheng Ling went to the east of the city to check the situation. Along the way, he also paid attention to observing and listening to various information.

  It turned out that the terrain in the area of ​​Ping'anfang in the west of the city was higher. Relatively speaking, the situation of flooding was not bad, but the more you went to the city and the east of the city, the deeper the water on the ground.

   Not only that, but more seriously, too many people died last night!

Although the    Ghost Yingren had retreated, they left corpses in various forms of death on the street. Among them, there are Guiying people, and naturally, there are also people from Wei.

   These corpses have not had time to be cleaned up, and are now soaked in the water, dyeing the already turbid water into a dark brown.

   The smell in the air was unpleasant. Many people squatted at the door of the house mourning and weeping, and some scattered people would go to the water to rummage and collect the bodies of their family members.

   This morning, Yongzhou City was not prosperous, only dilapidated.

   After walking all the way to the boundary near Fuyang Wangfu, Cheng Lingcai finally saw that there were organized and large-scale people cleaning the streets.

   These disciplined people are either the servants of the Fuyang palace or the guards of the palace. Among them were a few familiar faces, but Cheng Ling did not see Xiao Man.

   After thinking for a moment, Cheng Ling's eyes suddenly lit up.

  I saw that there was a steward on the street around the corner, who was commanding the servants to work in a spirited manner, but this steward was an old acquaintance of Cheng Ling: Tang Bingliang!

  Cheng Ling immediately stepped on the ridge next to him and jumped over gently. Tang Bingliang heard the movement and turned around and said, "Ouch": "It's Cheng Langjun! The road is full of water, why are you here?"

   After he finished speaking, he saw Cheng Ling standing on the wall of the courtyard, with agile exercises and a dry body. If she doesn't take the usual way, she is of course not afraid that the road will be full of water.

  Tang Bingliang laughed again, and said very cleverly: "Is Cheng Langjun worried about our son? Came here to see?"

  Cheng Ling said: "I heard that the ghost Ying people entered the city to loot last night, how is the situation now?"

   Speaking of this matter, Tang Bingliang has a lot to say.

   He is the steward of the palace, and he is more informed than ordinary people. This is like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, pouring all the news around him to Cheng Ling.

  It turns out that when the ghosts entered the city, the first thing they looted was the cities around Yongzhou Port in the east of the city.

   There is the most prosperous business district in Yongzhou. Ghost Ying people robbed cars, horses, and countless gold and silver treasures in Dongshi.

  There are many cities in the east of the city, and there are many powerful people in the city. The first to bear the brunt is Yongzhou Fuya!

  The Ghost Ying people knew that they could not occupy Yongzhou City, so they took advantage of the pretence to invade Yongzhou, and their primary purpose was to loot treasures, and they went to the most wealthy areas in the city to loot.

  The Luo family and the Lu family were violently attacked by the ghosts, and many other small and medium-sized families living on both sides were not spared either.

   To say the worst, it turned out to be the post office.

  The postmaster Zhu Peng was born in a poor family, and his roots were in the area of ​​Zhongyang County. After he passed the imperial examination, he was dispatched to Yongzhou by Emperor Wei. Although he also had guards by his side, he could not fight against so many ghost heroes like wolves and tigers.

  Tang Bingliang lowered his voice and said: "Cheng Langjun, Mr. Zhu was seriously injured, and it is said that his life is hanging by a thread!"

   Cheng Ling was stunned, the tragic situation in the city was much more serious than she originally thought.

   In Tang Bingliang's remarks, Cheng Ling learned that not only the postmaster Zhu Peng was seriously injured, but also many government officials lost their lives because of this disaster.

The Lu family and the Luo family were also not spared, Tang Bingliang said: "I don't know how many people died, the killing was so fierce, we didn't rescue them in time at the beginning, mainly because these ghost heroes were bold and attacked at the same time. Where is our palace!"

  The matter of the iron ore is a first-class secret, so Tang Bingliang didn't know that the elites of Luo and Lu went to sea.

   He also sighed softly: "The guards of these two families are really useless. They were beaten by the ghosts and they were powerless to fight back."

  Cheng Ling knew something in her heart, she talked to Tang Bingliang again, and gradually sorted out the follow-up of last night:

  Gui Yingren rushed into Yongzhou City, blocking them all the way, and plundered an unknown amount of wealth. However, the attack route of the ghosts is from east to west. There are many rich people in the east of the city, and there are many powerful people in the city. On the contrary, there are many civilians on the west side of the city.

   Therefore, the area of ​​Ping'anfang in the west of the city was not attacked by the ghosts. First, it was because the guards of the Fuyang Palace later came out. On the other hand, it was probably because there was no oil and water in the west of the city, and people didn't like it—

   This kind of time-limited plundering action is naturally to focus on the big and let go of the small, and focus on the big goal first.

  Thinking of this, Cheng Ling secretly exhaled in his heart, the strength of the ghosts is limited, after plundering this time, it is probably difficult for them to make a comeback in a short time.

  Cheng Ling quickly said goodbye to Tang Bingliang, Tang Bingliang was quite polite and asked her if she wanted to sit in the palace. Cheng Ling asked with a smile at the time, "Is the prince here, or else Mr. Tang will give me a briefing?"

  Tang Bingliang immediately stretched out his hand and scratched his head, hehe smiled: "It's a little abrupt, this... the whereabouts of the prince, the little one really doesn't know."

  Xiao Man is really not in the palace!

In the past, Cheng Ling had already guessed that in such a critical period of time, since the Guiying people were driven away, and the Lu family and the Luo family are now suffering, if Xiao Man had the will, now it is probably the time to pursue the victory. A good time to reap the rewards.

  Cheng Ling's guess was correct.

   More than 20 miles away from the sea, seeing the calm sea waves, the wind and rain last night did not seem to have left a trace in this vast sea.

   On the sea, there were more than ten large ships, which seemed to be vertical and horizontal, arranged to follow each other, and seemed to be pressing each other. They hurriedly rushed back to the direction of Yongzhou Port.

   These ten or so large ships are obviously not of the same camp. Although the flags on both sides have never been hoisted, the atmosphere of the two sides is opposite, and it is not difficult to distinguish.

   Even, on the way of this fast boat, there were people on both sides, sneering and scolding each other across the sea and the sea breeze.

   At this moment, the shadow of a boat suddenly gradually enlarged from the sea level in the west. The Lu family and the Luo family, who were still quarreling with themselves, fell silent.

   The shadow of the oncoming ship is not huge, but the flag hanging on the ship is clearly defined: Look at the word "Fuyang", fluttering in the sea breeze!

   A voice was sent far away from the sea breeze: "Luo Gong, Lu Gong, since they met at sea, why not come to gather?"

  This ship is flying the flag of the Fuyang Palace. The people on the ship are straight to the point, openly conspiracy, and invite Luo and Lu to board the ship!

   Can they not go?

  Luo Ping took off his cloak and strode out of the cabin.

   The advisor beside him quickly followed, while worrying: "Patriarch, do we really want to go?"

  Luo Ping said: "If I don't receive the news that the ghosts have robbed the city, I can't go this time, but this is the end of the matter, but I can't let me go."
