Chapter 164: A Strange Empty City

The crown prince glanced at the two princes gloomily, gritted his back molars fiercely, and then shouted angrily: "The first team is leaving." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info: "The five hundred soldiers who followed him immediately pushed the carts loaded with gold and marched forward.

No one paid attention to the prince's departure, and Ru Huan even came to the refugees to inquire about the news: "This uncle, due to the plague, the imperial capital is very likely to be closed, why don't you go in the other direction?" ”

The man who was asked by Ru Huan swallowed the baked cake in his mouth hard, and said with a bitter face: "This son doesn't know that there is a cottage in the middle of Mengjiang and Liliu, among which there is a mountain king named 'wild wolf', it is said that eating human flesh raw is very ferocious, and the foot of the mountain is often haunted. We don't dare go through there! ”

"Really?" Ru Huan scoffed at the haunting, but it's not impossible to eat human flesh raw, maybe it's wild?

When the other refugees heard them mention the Wolf Mountain, they immediately expressed their fear of the mountain king.

Ru Huan frowned and thought that the food had been distributed, and Nioh gently comforted the refugees, and the relief army continued to move forward.

Along the way, refugees like Fang Cai continued to emerge, but fortunately Yubayashi Shuzawa had prepared enough food, but even so, the food had been reduced by a third.

When the team was more than ten miles away from Hancheng, the sky was already completely dark.

In front is the plum town belonging to Hancheng, looking from afar, the town is full of green smoke, obviously dinner time has arrived, the wind seems to faintly hear the aroma of food, smell it makes people drool, at this time anyone looks at the dry food in their hands and has no appetite.

"Ninth brother, let's go to Meizhen for dinner, seeing that Hancheng is coming, I want to exchange gold for some disaster relief items for my brother."

As soon as Yulin Xingli called the ninth brother, it reminded the Hades King of the brotherhood between the two.

At that time, Yubayashi Shuze was unsuspecting of people, because Nioh had sacrificed his life to save him, so among the brothers, he had the deepest relationship with Yubayashi Xingli. But since he was framed, he no longer trusts everyone around him, and he can't help but have a little doubt about this brother who has always been gentle.

At this moment, hearing him call his ninth brother again, Yulin Xiuze's heart warmed, and he even questioned his own caution in a trance, even if everyone in the world betrayed him, the starling would definitely not! Be careful with your occasional suspicions, they must be just suspicious of yourself!

Thinking that he almost lost his life by blocking a sword for himself that year, Yulin Xiuze's eyes like peach blossoms were slightly moist, and he coughed lightly to hide the surging of his heart, and he nodded in agreement: "What the starling brother said is very true, Xiuze also wants to have a hot meal." ”

Hearing that Yulin Xiuze called himself "Xiuze" instead of "this king", Yulin Xingli's eyes were warmer like soft water that cleansed the mortal dust, he smiled lightly, and then raised the reins and rode forward.

As if he suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly grabbed the horse again, hesitated for a few seconds, then turned his head and ordered: "The second team stayed outside the town to stay behind to guard the disaster relief materials and money. ”

Yulin Xiuze raised his eyebrows, not quite understanding what he meant: "Starling brother, this is ......"

"We have a thousand soldiers, and if we enter Meizhen at the same time, we will harass the people. What's more, Meizhen is very close to Hancheng, and I don't know if it has been affected by the epidemic now, so let's be careful and take half of the people in to see the situation first. ”

Yulin Xiuze saw that he was acting cautiously and nodded yes, even Ru Huan felt that Yulin Xingli was thoughtful and thoughtful, but she also had a trace of doubt in her heart, according to what the refugees said, the people around should have fled a long time ago, why are there still people left here?

Before he could bring it up, Yulin Xingli had already ordered the two captains of the Dark Guard, Duying and Susu, to lead the second team managed by Nioh and station them at the entrance of the town.

Ru Huan saw that Yulin Xingli, Yulin Xiuze, Hua Shuyue and others had already entered the town with the third team under the command of Hades, so they had no choice but to chase after them.

Although the town is full of smoke, fragrant smells, and warm light from the curtains, the opposite of this warm picture is that the whole town is surprisingly quiet, and it seems that a silver needle landing on the ground will also scare people's hearts!

The boundless silence is like a mysterious giant net, shrouding the entire Meizhen in the bleak night, making people witness the scene in front of them, the more they can vaguely feel a gloomy and cold taste of the dead city!

All kinds of shops on both sides of the street have been closed, and the street is empty and there is no one in sight, seeing such a strange scene, Ru Huan and the others immediately became alert.

Yulin Xingli glanced at the soldier on the side, and the soldier understood, and reached out to knock on the door of an inn with a closed door.

But he knocked for a long time and no one answered, so the soldier shouted at the top of his voice: "Shop, shopkeeper, is anyone there?" ”

His voice was thick and loud, and it was suddenly heard in the silence of the town, and it could not help but make people feel excited.

But no one in the inn answered, and the soldier glanced back at Nioh, and when he saw Yulin Xingli bowing slightly, he immediately stretched out his foot and kicked the door panel to grab it.

The inn hall was brightly lit, and a pot of fragrant meat was apparently burning in the back kitchen, steaming hot.

There were half-eaten wine and food on several tables in the hall, and the soldier reached out to find that there was still a faint warmth.

Seeing such a bizarre thing, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

The surroundings were quiet again, and the night breeze was cool, and this infinite mysterious silence made the darkness behind everyone have a sense of déjà vu that was about to swell and ferment, as if the creepy and eerie aura had been wrapped around their shoulders!

Yulin Xingli was the first to come back to his senses from this indescribable terrifying atmosphere, he frowned slightly, turned his head to the Hades King and said, "The ninth brother is waiting here, and he will take two hundred soldiers to investigate around for his brother." ”

Yulin Xiuze felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he just shook his head and didn't answer for a while.

Ru Huan's face also showed worry, and he couldn't help but persuade: "Don't disperse, everyone, this town is so quiet that you can't even hear the sound of chickens and dogs, it's really a little terrifying and weird." ”

But listening to Yulin Xingli smiled lightly, the voice was elegant and elegant, with a hint of dream-like drifting, which instantly made the Sen Ran in the air disperse a little: "Xingli thinks that it is possible that the people of Meizhen are afraid of the spread of the epidemic, so they fled to the house, but they have just evacuated not long ago, so the food is still hot." ”

As if to test his argument, a soldier came to report that the inn room was full of boxes, and everything of value had been packed up and taken away in a hurry.

Yulin Xiuze was a little relieved when he heard the report, but he still said to Yulin Xingli with a solemn expression: "Then starling brother should be careful, if there is anything wrong, release the signal immediately." ”

"Don't worry." After Yulin Xingli said this, he ordered two hundred soldiers to run out.
