Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

In short, those who were dissatisfied or obstructed the empress from ascending the throne died inexplicably, and the entire Tiansheng Dynasty was in panic and turmoil.

In this way, the only people left in the court were those who obeyed the empress and controlled the government. Naturally, it was no longer important whether the former emperor was alive or not.

When Xiaocao told Lin Xiaoyue the news, she also made a special appearance and acted out the scene with great joy when Emperor Tiansheng heard the bad news, his face changed color, he vomited blood, his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground and convulsed.

It just... makes people laugh.

But after laughing, Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel curious about the empress who was said to be blessed by her ancestors.

Although she herself was a soul from another world, it was an incredible feat for her to be able to travel to this world. The Empress who was blessed by her ancestors was no different from her, and both were beyond common sense and could not be explained.

If she had to explain it in her own way, it would be the blessing of the ancestors that caused some people with ulterior motives to drown in the lake or be burned to death in inexplicable flames... Many of the so-called punishments from heaven that sounded incredible were more like supernatural powers after the end of the world...

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyue shuddered all over at her own sudden guess.

She wasn't sure if her guess was correct, but if it was wrong, that would be better.

But if it is really like her, with a soul traveling from another world, and bringing with it special powers, then that would be a big problem.

Thinking of the humans who survived the apocalypse, a very small number of them activated elemental powers and used various remarkable elemental powers to fight a desperate battle with the zombies.

For example, the gold-based supernatural power can condense into swords and daggers; the earth-based supernatural power can raise a wall of earth from the ground with a wave of the hand.

Fortunately, although the apocalypse brought endless despair to humans, as well as the threat of zombies that never tire and slaughter all living things with their cruel and bloodthirsty instincts, humans were finally able to fight for a glimmer of hope under the increasingly difficult threat of the apocalypse after stimulating their superpowers.

……

Moreover, according to the news sent back by everyone, this empress is ambitious, ruthless, and ruthless in eliminating dissidents. If she is really like her, they are all people who have been reborn in another world. If they meet one day, I am afraid they will be enemies rather than friends...

Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and threw away the wild and sudden thoughts in her mind. She was worrying too much. How could there be so many souls from other worlds like her? Her life was really too smooth, so smooth that she was dizzy.

Thinking of the inexplicable thoughts that came to her mind, Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel funny. She shook her head and shook off those unrealistic thoughts in her mind. She couldn't help but sigh softly. No matter what, the new empress of Tiansheng was so arbitrary and domineering. It was not only a disaster for Tiansheng, but also a disaster for the peace of Dayuan.

I'm afraid I won't be able to live a peaceful life anymore.

However, there has been a wave of unrest.

People here were still discussing the news that Tiansheng had changed its owner in just a few days, while a local soldier came to the inn with Ergou and a team of guards from Xianyu Villa.

Looking at Ergou's solemn expression, everyone felt a tightness in their hearts.

Ergou had no intention of hiding it, and without even having time to drink a sip of water, he hurriedly told the story of how Linjiazhuang was ambushed by the rebel general Qian Hui.

"How could it be..." Xiaocao and Chunxing jumped in shock.

Lin Xiaoyue's face suddenly changed. Although she had made preparations before leaving, she couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.

After a while, she regained her composure and asked anxiously, "How are they? Are there any casualties?"

Ergou lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly into Lin Xiaoyue's eyes, and replied in a heavy tone, "Everyone is fine at home, and everyone escaped from the tunnel safely."

"That's good, as long as there are no casualties. Sit down and tell me in detail."

Although she was not the original owner, Lin Xiaoyue still regarded everyone in the Lin family farm as her relatives. When she heard that they were ambushed by the rebel general Qian Hui, her heart was inevitably affected.

Ergou knew that Lin Xiaoyue was anxious, so he sat down and drank some water. After he calmed down, he hurriedly told her what he had learned after returning to the village.

It turned out to be one night almost half a month ago.

The rebel general Qian Hui, along with the 3,000 soldiers who had escaped with him, surrounded Linjiazhuang, intending to use the people in Linjiazhuang as a bargaining chip to force Lin Xiaoyue to hand over the formula of gunpowder weapons. He also sent people to investigate the situation in Linjiazhuang many times.

Unfortunately, he thought he had a sure win, and taking advantage of the dark night and strong wind, he led 3,000 elite troops from the back mountain to rush towards Linjiazhuang like a tide, intending to capture Linjiazhuang in one fell swoop and quickly evacuate after taking the hostages.

However, when they climbed the wall and tried to attack from above, they were shot to death by a barrage of crossbow arrows.

The people brought by Qian Hui were caught off guard by the sudden attack and fell down one after another with screams.

After losing many soldiers, they finally rushed into the yard, where a series of traps and horse nails were waiting for them.

After the furious Qian Hui and his men searched every room in Linjiazhuang inside and out, they did not find a single survivor.

It turned out that the people Lin Xiaoyue left in Xianyu Villa took turns arranging people to lurk outside Linjiazhuang every day. Long after Qian Hui led his men to take over Linjiazhuang, the guards entered the villa in advance through the fork in the tunnel and brought all the people who were awakened in Linjiazhuang into the tunnel.

With the help of the guards, Mr. Lin and his companions staggered down the tunnel, trembling. The women and children followed closely, holding their children tightly. Although the children, such as Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, were terrified, they tried to stay quiet under the comfort of the adults.

The tunnel was dark and damp, but at this moment it became their life passage.

The guards carefully escorted the Lin family forward, always alert to the situation above. Their nervous breathing could be heard with every step.

Qian Hui and his men searched and smashed everything in the manor. Just as he was getting furious and preparing to lead his men to evacuate, the guards who stayed in the dark lit the fuse.

With a loud thunder, flames shot up into the sky, the earth trembled, and Linjiazhuang was razed to the ground in an instant. The soldiers brought by Qian Hui were also blown to pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Amid the smoke, those soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were terrified by the tremendous power of the explosion and fell into chaos.

The guards did not let them go, hiding in the dark and shooting with bows and crossbows. Arrows streaked across the sky like meteors, accurately shooting at the enemies, and knocking down the enemies who tried to escape one by one.

Finally, after one hour, the yamen runners in Wanbao Town, the Sun family, and the military garrison outside the town all sent people to support.

Except for the mastermind Qian Hui who escaped with two of his cronies, the rest of the enemy were captured and tied up with strong ropes.

When Ergou returned, it was exactly the second day after the incident had subsided.
