And the lone boss was also disheartened and guarded the inn alone. Talking about the plague, the boss's brows trembled slightly, and his eyes were a little moist. Ye Wujian looked at his face and could feel that if he was given a chance to choose again, he might prefer to stay with his wife and children.

The owner said that he could often see his wife and children laughing at the inn. Everyone said that the boss was crazy, and he didn't dare to come to the boss's inn. Ye Wujian was surprised, it seems that Ye Wujian is not the only one who can see the dead person, right?

The current town is made up of people who left and returned to the town and refugees from the imperial city. Although the plague is gone, the town has also lost its original intimacy and warmth. There is a lot of indifference and strangeness everywhere.

And the boss also said that it seemed to listen to the grapevine, the plague that spread in the town overnight was actually artificially placed, and the person who put the gossip said that it was the poison used by the dynasty when attacking the city, the poison of the slaughter of the city. Speaking of the Imperial City, a city that made people feel cold and cruel, Ye Wujian obviously felt the hatred of the boss.

The samurai patted me on the shoulder from behind and said coldly, "Get up, hurry up."

Ye Wujian got up from the stool and remembered the real and sad dream he had last night. Suddenly, I felt that the figure of the samurai became heavier than before.

The boss quickly gathered his emotions and caught up with the samurai. The warrior and the boss briefly negotiated, and then left the unusually deserted inn with Ye Wuji. From beginning to end, Ye Wujian didn't see anyone else appear in this inn. Ye Wujian wanted to know that the man who came to stay at the hotel in the back last night really knew how to do that 'big knife' in his dream, and he seemed to be still in a certain guest room, dreaming peacefully.

The group was still the same as before, and the samurai led Ye Wujian through the city with an expressionless face. And this place is not even as crowded during the day as it was last night. Perhaps because it was too early, there were few pedestrians on the streets, and there were many shops on both sides of the street that were not open.

This kind of gap compared to last night made Ye Wujian instantly indistinguishable, even if Ye Wujian walked on a certain street yesterday, and walked again today, Ye Wujian was a little unsure that they seemed to be the same street. The city that Ye Wujian is staying in now seems to be the same one last night. The story of the boss is deeply imprinted on my chest, and ten-year-old Ye Wujian does not have much ability to distinguish between those who are true and those who are false, but there is always a heavy feeling. In this deserted street, imagine the people who once stepped on it, and felt so heavy without taking a step. Thinking about last night, there were dense river lights floating on the river. Ye Wujian suddenly didn't want to go to the imperial city so much.

Suddenly, people appeared on both sides of the street, and they looked at Ye Wujian and the warrior indifferently, as if all their sins originated here. This made Ye Wujian weak and afraid. Ye Wujian thought that he had to divert his attention, and unconsciously remembered that the 'big knife' was really good, Ye Wujian always felt that everything was inexplicably connected, the three non-commissioned officers who had their throats cut in the forest, the family of the Wilderness Inn, and all the residents of this town ten years ago, Ye Wujian always felt that all this was an arrangement in the dark, and everything in this arrangement needed to be commemorated by one person.

Ye Wujian even began to suspect that Ye Wujian must survive as a witness and confirm that all this happened. Ye Wuji's unusually clear dream last night was not a dream. Ye Wujian seems to have really become a ghost in the past, what happened to the samurai and the real meeting last night, it seems to have really happened?

With doubts, several people walked out of the town. Two words were engraved on the exit gate of the town: "Xuhuan Town." ”

Ye Wujian silently recited the name of the town in his heart: "Xuhuan, Xuhuan, illusory, illusory." ”

Soon, several people walked into a wooded area again. But the woods are incomparably familiar. Yesterday, in my dream, Ye Wujian was here. Ye Wujian suddenly felt nervous, Ye Wujian remembered that the location where he was really going to die was in front, would his body still be where? Has the big knife he inserted in the ground still been pulled out? Ye Wujian was a little expectant, but Ye Wuqian was even more afraid. If Ye Wujian found out that everything last night was true, does that mean that Ye Wujian ...... Is it a ghost? Or is it still just a simple dream.

The samurai didn't look at Ye Wujian from beginning to end, and he didn't notice anything strange about me. Soon several people arrived at the scene of last night's crime, but no big knife was found, and there was no real body. Ye Wujian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At this moment, Ye Wujian found a long strip of gray cloth hanging from the branch next to him. This strip of cloth is all too familiar, this is the strip of cloth tied to the big knife. Ye Wujian was stunned in place.

The samurai found that Ye Wuqian had not left, and looked back at Ye Wujian. He looked in the direction that Ye Wujian was looking. The samurai put his hand on my shoulder and whispered, as if with some comfort, "Let's go."

Ye Wujian followed the warrior and said indifferently: "Actually, you know that Ye Wuqian went out of the room last night, and you know that Ye Wujian saw him." You know that Ye Wujian can recognize the strip of cloth. You're here to kill him. Why don't you do it more simply, so that Ye Wujian doesn't find anything.

The samurai said, "Didn't you ask me who the man who killed the whole family of the Wild Inn? ”

The warrior suddenly looked down at Ye Wuji, frowned and asked, "Do you really know that he died here?"

The samurai's way of asking is actually a bit strange, for a normal person, he should ask, "How do you know that he is dead just by seeing the strip of cloth?" and his question seems to be certain in his heart, but he is a little suspicious.

Ye Wujian said: "I had a dream last night. You duel here. ”

The samurai suddenly laughed: "No matter how long it has been, the unique ability of your vein still makes people feel mysterious and terrifying. But one thing you are wrong, he didn't die in the hands of Ye Wuji. He committed suicide. Also, you should remember his name. His name is Zhenhui. He died for you. But you can only keep all this in your heart, and you can't mention it to anyone.

The samurai looked down at Ye Wujian again, and repeated seriously: "You can't mention it to anyone, you know?"

Ye Wuxian nodded. The samurai touched my head. Several people continued on their way.

Ye Wujian had heard of the slaughter of the city's poison. In Peach Blossom Village.

Ye Wujian remembered that it was an afternoon when it was easy to be lazy, and the sun covered Peach Blossom Village warmly. Ye Wujian and Lingling were playing together, and Ye Wujian had forgotten what the two of them were playing. Ye Wujian only remembered that the two of them were sneaking along the edge of the house, imagining that they were like legendary ninjas, flying on the wall and silently under their feet.

A few people leaned silently against a wall, eavesdropping on the sound on the other side of the wall.

A man said, "Are you sure it was the Imperial Dynasty? Can you find any evidence?"

Another man said, "I'm not sure. But to make so many people die silently overnight, I can't think of anything else that can be done except to slaughter the city poison. It is rumored that the poison of the slaughter city is the secret system of the chief pharmacist of the palace, and only the ghost pharmacist can refine this poison, which is silent and tasteless, and there is no medicine to save it. It is rumored that when Li Huangzong attacked the Western Wilderness, he could not attack it for a long time. The ghost medicine master Mao then recommended himself, saying that he could break the stubborn defense of the Western Wilderness alone, but he needed to pay an extremely painful price. Li Huangzong didn't think so, and he didn't stop it. The ghost medicine master left a message asking Li Huangzong to organize his army and prepare to break through the city gate the next day, and he would not be hindered in any way. After that, the ghost medicine master stole into the Western Wilderness City in the middle of the night with a candle alone. Early in the morning of the second day, Li Huangzong attacked the city and sure enough, there was no enemy army, and when Li Huangzong attacked the Western Wilderness, he found that the whole city, whether civilians or soldiers, were all lying on the ground, and died silently. Of the 100,000 people in the city, none of them survived. In the middle of the city, there was only a half-burned candle. Later, the ghost pharmacist was named the chief alchemist of the palace by Li Huangzong, and he practiced medicine in the palace alchemy pharmacy all the year round, and there was no other news. This slaughter poison is also named after this.

The man said, "Hmph." That ghost pharmacist still thinks that if he makes meritorious service, he will be able to enjoy happiness? Just kidding, this slaughtering city poison is so evil, I'm afraid that refining medicine in the medicine refining room is fake, and being imprisoned by Li Huangzong is true! I think Li Huangzong would not let such a dangerous person by his side. But that candle is the Slaughter Poison?"

Another man said, "It looks like this. ”

The man said: "I didn't expect the royal family to even use the poison of the slaughter of the city." If evidence can be found for the Sanyi Society, it will inevitably be able to shake many court officials, although it will not completely overthrow the rule of the Li Imperial Family, but it will definitely be able to deal a blow to its vitality.

Another man said: "Although the Slaughter City Poison is only available to the Emperor, this Slaughter City Poison is colorless and odorless, it is only a candle that burns and emits gas, and it is extremely diffusive. Those who hear it will die, and it will only take one night to slaughter the city, but only one night will the poisonous gas dissipate. No evidence could be found at all.

The man said, "No matter what, these ordinary people must not be allowed to die in vain." One day, Li Huangzong and his family will be punished by heaven. ”

Ye Wujian and Ling Ling looked at each other, and both of them showed incredible looks in their eyes. Because both of them realized that the two of them seemed to have heard some terrible secret by accident. But I don't know what the secret is, and this feeling of uncertainty shocks both of them. This shock lasted until Lingling's grandmother shouted in the village that Lingling had come home for dinner.

”

The samurai suddenly stopped and said, "Here we are." ”

Ye Wujian only looked back from his memories at this time, only to find that there were more people around him at this time, and there were constantly carriages around him, or people with burdens walking by. And in front of him, the huge city gate stood slowly, and the size of the horror was three times that of the good city. Many soldiers stood solemnly by the city gate, carefully checking the homeless people entering and leaving the city gate. Above the city gate are engraved two domineering words: "Taicheng." ”

For a while, Ye Wujian was shocked by this huge city gate that he had never seen before. Along the way, I have heard many people say that Taicheng and the Imperial City are the two largest cities of the Dynasty. Now that he is really facing this, his heart can't help but surge, and the warrior said that Ye Wujian seems to be going to stay here for a long time.

Suddenly, a thought flashed in Ye Wuji's heart. This is not the Imperial City? At the beginning, didn't you say that you were going to take Ye Wuqian to the Imperial City? Why did you come to Taicheng? Ye Wujian said, "This is not the Imperial City?"

The samurai said, "Of course it's not the Imperial City, this is the Taicheng." ”

Ye Wujian said, "Aren't we going to the Imperial City?"

The warrior was expressionless, and walked forward with Ye Wuji, he wanted to take Ye Wujian into this big city that countless people yearn for but fear: "I never told you that I wanted to go to the imperial city. You also never asked me where I was going. ”

Ye Wujian thought about it carefully, it seemed like this. Only when the three non-commissioned officers told Ye Wujian that the warriors would take Ye Wujian to the imperial city to enjoy the blessings, Ye Wujian thought that the place where a few people were going was the imperial city. But the samurai himself didn't really seem to say anything to Ye Wujian about where a few people were going. But then again, since Ye Wujian had already told me that he was going to the Imperial City, would Ye Wuqian ask him where he was going again? So the warrior still lied to Ye Wuji, just through someone else. Seem...... He didn't want Ye Wujian to know where I was going too soon.

Taicheng is bustling with people coming and going. The streets are lined with hawkers and filled with colorful high-rise buildings. Sure enough, not only is the city gate three times the size of the good city. Ye Wujian sighed sincerely, Taicheng is indeed the rumored Taicheng!
