Ke Ran was holding the torch, she didn't know whether it was from the heat or nervousness, a row of crystal sweat rolled down her face.

His appearance scared the other people who were already nervous enough, Tang Luoyu took a step forward, "What's the matter? But there is a scam?"

"It smells weird," Ke Ran sniffed, reminding everyone, "It doesn't smell like ordinary meat."

Hearing this, everyone noticed that there was a large cauldron in the jailer's room, the fire was crackling, and white smoke was rising from the cauldron, and the boiling water was bubbling non-stop, as if they were cooking something. The strange aroma must have come from this cauldron.

Everyone froze for a moment, covered their mouths and noses, and continued to move forward. The situation is critical now, and it is impossible for them to stop because of a suspicious cauldron.

After entering the room, Xue Lince quickly found the keys of the prison on the jailer, and quickly distributed them to his subordinates. Everyone took action and began to open the doors of each cell with hands and feet.

Tang Luoyu held up a torch to help illuminate the crowd. She was too close to the cauldron, and her ears were filled with the bubbling sound of "gurgle, gurgling". The ominous premonition in her heart became more and more violent, like a heavy wooden , beat her heart continuously, making her chest tremble.

Under the weirdness, she approached the cauldron carefully, covering her mouth and nose tightly, trying to find out what was in it. She always felt that the secret of the rebels not transporting food from outside the city lay in this boiling cauldron. in the pot.

After pushing away the layers of white water vapor, she finally saw clearly what was churning in the boiling water.

It was exactly as Ke Ran had guessed.

There is no ordinary meat in it!
Even though he had seen many cruel and terrifying scenes, Tang Luoyu was really taken aback by this earth-shattering scene.

With a scream, she staggered back a few steps in fright, and managed to stand still when she fell into Xue Lince's arms.

"What's wrong?"

Xue Lince supported his wife's back, and was taken aback by her reaction, and seeing Tang Luoyu's bloodless face and trembling lips made him even more anxious.

Tang Luoyu tremblingly raised his fingertips, and tremblingly pointed at the steaming cauldron, "This meat is really weird..."

Xue Lince's temples twitched twice, the expression on his face froze, and he was shocked in his heart, but he quickly reacted, quickly hugged his wife tightly in his arms, turned around and covered the cauldron, like It was patting her on the back like a comforting child.

"Okay, it's all right, don't have to look."

Tang Luoyu's body trembled slightly, his head rested on Xue Lince's arms, and he quickly regained his composure.

At this time, the officer in charge of opening the door hurried over again, "My lord, all the people in custody have been sent away, and we have also escorted the jailer to leave quickly."

Xue Lince raised his eyes and saw that his face was also pale and sweaty. His heart moved, he raised his eyes and scanned the prison, and saw that there were still many people lying in the prison.

"Isn't there still a lot of people here? How about sending them away?"

The soldier's Adam's apple rolled up and down for a round, his face showed embarrassment, and he sighed after a long time: "Look carefully, my lord, those common people are completely hopeless."

"It's no wonder that these beasts don't have to transport food from outside the city, and they can just use the county government prison to lock up all the people in the city. How dare they treat the people like livestock and ignore their lives. How is this different from wolves, tigers and leopards!"

"My lord, calm down," the soldier hurriedly dissuaded, "The culprit has been caught, and I will leave it to my lord to deal with it myself. Now that the matter has been settled, my lord should leave as soon as possible."

Xue Lince restrained his emotions, and worried that Tang Luoyu would be afraid here, so he nodded in agreement after thinking for a while, and led everyone back from the original road, riding all the way back to the camp to meet the regent.

After a busy night, when the two teams converged, it was already daylight, and the east gradually turned red. When the rebel leader woke up, he realized that all his troops had been captured. , and immediately rejoiced, bowing down to the regent and Xue Lince.

The rebels still wanted to resist, and the regent was not used to them, and directly ordered to kill them all. As for the high priest who proposed to eat human flesh, he tortured them in front of the people.

The rebels were swept out of the city, and the people were finally able to return to their normal lives, but the bustling and bustling city had already lost more than half of its population. Even if the people were brought back to the city at the same time, the streets and alleys still could not be filled. It was empty, only the sound of the wind was heard, whistling past.

The rebel army in the state capital was settled, so this time it was considered bloodless and there were no casualties. The soldiers did not stop too much, and the army continued to move south, attacking the base camp of the rebel army.

After walking for three days and three nights in a row, the people led by the regent finally arrived near the base camp.

Surprisingly, the wind here is sunny and the sun is shining brightly, just like the previous state capital.

Lanterns of different colors and shapes are hung on the gate of the city. The laughter of the people and the sound of various musical instruments are heard frequently in the city. It seems that the city is busy celebrating the festival, and there is no gloomy atmosphere at all. city.

The leaders found it strange, Chai Jin and Shen Huaizhong understood and volunteered to investigate, the regent also nodded.

Soon, the two quietly sneaked into the city, and saw crowds of people on the streets, bustling with people, alleys and streets were hung with lanterns, girls were dressed in colorful clothes, young people were smiling, and children were running around among the crowd with firecrackers go.

What kind of occupied city is this? It is clearly a scene where the country and the people live in peace and harmony!

Shen Huaizhong was puzzled, opened and closed the folding fan in his hand, "It's strange, isn't this city occupied by rebels? How can the people sing and dance like this."

Chai Jin frowned, and when he looked up, he saw a huge hot air balloon floating in the sky, on which hung two couplets that were more than ten feet long, which were actually poems praising the rebels, and the logo on the hot air balloon was indeed It is Hongyang Road without a doubt.

"It's probably because this cult used the teachings of the Dao to confuse the people and took the opportunity to recruit a wave of believers," Chai Jin sighed softly, "Look, the lanterns in the hands of these people are all the symbols of Hongyang Dao."
