There was no one nearby, and Chu Litian ate some dry food and drank some wine under the tree before continuing on the road.

Two quarters of an hour later, he came to the city gate of the southwest city, and found that the city gate was closed, but around the city gate there were only a few shops with the door ajar, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road, he still remembered that when he came here with his father to spend the summer as a child, the shops here were bustling and lively, and the streets were bustling with people, such loneliness was shocking and speechless.

Chu Litian pushed the city gate, and found that the city gate was not only closed, but also immovable, and an old man slowly walked out of the half-open shop, looking at him strangely.

In the end, he was still a step too late, the city gate had been closed, the people inside could not get out, the people outside could not enter, the city was closed.

He turned to the old man and asked, "When did the gates close?" ”

"Yesterday, the people who escaped from the city were also arrested and stuffed in. Where are you from? The plague in the southwest can't be controlled, so don't go in at this point. ”

Chu Litian frowned and asked in a low voice, "Do you know where those people guarding the city gate go?" ”

The old man shook his head helplessly: "I don't know why you want to go in, but the people who defend the city left after completely sealing this place, they not only added six beams to close the front and back doors, but also used coffin paint to fill the gaps to death, unless it is burned with fire, this paint will not melt at all." ”

And not only that, but the walls of the already high city gate were all planted with terrible thorns, and from a distance, the thorns seemed to be stained red with blood.

"In fact, there are still people in the city who have not been infected with the plague, but they are no longer able to govern them, so they all sealed them inside, and the powerful people tried to build a human wall last night to climb out, but they all died because of excessive bleeding from thorns, and no one will deal with the dead people, they are all rotten inside, you have to get closer to smell the stench." The old man shook his head helplessly, "Evil, I don't know where this southwest city has angered God." ”

Chu Litian looked up at the thorns that were more than one person high, and said in his heart that this time his father had made up his mind to close the city, and it was estimated that he would not be able to enter without a little effort, but he was confident in his physique, and at the same time, he was a little relieved, no matter how well-trained Chu Yatian's people were, they were not as good as his endurance.

He turned his head to look at the old man and asked, "Where is the hotel here?" ”

"Originally, there were, but now it's closed, who is still doing business these days." Seeing that Chu Litian was determined to leave here, the old man shook his head and left.

In desperation, Chu Litian had no choice but to watch the old man leave, and from time to time he raised his head and looked at the city wall that almost towered into the sky, although he knew that the city was closed, but he didn't expect that there was not even a person guarding the city, so he didn't bring anything, and now it has become difficult to enter now.

There was no other way, Chu Litian could only lead the horse around to find the ladder and the materials for making the nine-claw hook, although he knew that the road ahead was difficult, he had to go.

For two whole hours, Chu Li Tiantian found some bits and pieces, some wires, ropes, and wood that looked very strong, there were very few shops, and he couldn't find anything useful, but he also bought some things for the night's stay, some dry straw and straw mats, there was no hotel nearby, and it didn't look like someone would take him in.

Just as Chu Litian was leading the horse back to the city gate, his keen ears caught some sounds, and he immediately hid behind a tree, and then saw four or five black-clothed people hurrying in the direction of the city gate not far ahead, and turned his head to look around from time to time, as if looking for something.

Chu Litian narrowed his eyes, his pupils focused on the backs of the group of people, and his eyes, which were originally slightly tired, became as sharp as an eagle.

Chu Yatian's speed was much faster than he imagined, Chu Litian pinched his eyebrows with a headache, it seemed that he had to speed up his progress and enter the southwest city as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Chu Litian buried the things he bought in the soil, tied the horse nearby, and then cautiously followed in the direction of the city gate.

Chu Yatian's people were the same as when he first arrived, looking at the city wall in confusion and surprise, as if they were also helpless.

Seeing that they couldn't go up for a while, Chu Litian was not in a hurry, returned to the forest alone, found his things, and settled down in the tree.

As soon as dawn was the next day, Chu Litian woke up, quietly sneaked into the vicinity of the city gate, and saw the black-clothed men sleeping under the city gate with swords and leaning against the city gate.

But after cutting the throats of the two black-clothed people, the other three black-clothed people were awakened, Chu Litian simply pulled out his long sword and fought with them, several black-clothed people were all internal killers carefully selected by Chu Yatian, and their martial arts were no different from Mo Forget and Qingfeng, but they were still slightly inferior to Chu Litian.

After a few rounds, Chu Litian subdued the three black-clothed men and tied them to a tree at the city gate for torture.

"Did Chu Yatian tell you how to enter the city?" Chu Litian took the bloodclot dagger in his hand and played with it, with a relaxed expression on his face.

"Nope. We didn't expect the lockdown to be so complete. ”

Chu Litian's eyes swept over their faces one by one, and found that the last person's eyes were a little evasive, so he decided that there was a shortcut to this matter, so he showed a smile and asked: "Now there are only three of you left, I could have killed you, but your expression tells me, you are still profitable, don't be stubborn, let's say, is there any way to enter the city directly?" ”

The eyes of the three men in black suddenly became firm, and they shook their heads one after another: "I don't know." ”

Chu Litian hooked the corners of his lips again, and his cold smile was cold: "I don't know if you have ever heard of a kind of clavicle punishment, using the chain of a cow to pass through a person's collarbone, hanging a person in the air on a tree, like Ling Chi, passing the chains through the body one by one until the blood runs out and he dies." If you insist on not saying it, I will have to deal with you in this way. ”

He took the chains from the side, smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have many chains, and I wear them one by one, and you can watch them from the sidelines, and I will wear them until you change your mind." ”

The sweat that fell from the forehead of the man in black quickly seeped into the hot earth, and Chu Litian's eloquent depiction undoubtedly made them feel pressured to make a forced landing, although they were Chu Yatian's loyal servants, they would not sacrifice their lives for him, and they also knew very well that if they told Chu Litian this important information, they might not be able to leave completely.

But Chu Litian no longer had the patience to continue waiting, he held the dagger in his backhand, walked towards one of the black-clothed men, raised the knife in his hand, and stabbed the dagger into the chest of the black-clothed man hard.

As soon as the black-clothed man's face changed, his pupils dilated several times, and blood gradually stained his clothes red.

"Don't worry, I didn't stab you in the heart." Chu Litian's smile was poison, "But as long as I move a little to the right, you will die instantly." ”

The other two men in black were slightly nervous.

"I don't want to bluff and intimidate you any more, even if you don't sue me, I will be able to enter the city within a few days, but I see that your martial arts are good, and I don't want to kill innocents, if you don't want to cherish this opportunity, I can't do anything."

Chu Litian was right, he could also study a method by himself, but with such a resource available, he didn't want to waste it. Now it's about fighting psychological warfare, and whoever can carry it will be the final winner.

After a long five seconds, a man in black couldn't bear it, he was sweating profusely, and said in a low voice: "In three days, a group of city guards will come from Yongzhou, and they will open the city gate at that time, and we must rely on this opportunity to enter, otherwise such a city gate will not be able to enter at all." ”

I see, no wonder they didn't bring anything with them, and they still slept here leisurely.

"We've said everything we need to say, you should let us go, right?" The other two black-clothed people were unwilling, but they also had to fight to the death.

"Well, it's time to let you go." Chu Litian smiled and pulled out his long sword, wiping the sharp sword with a white brocade cloth.

When several people saw him draw his sword, their hearts sank, and they sensed that something was wrong, and one of them roared angrily: "You said that you would let us go!" You ......"

It's a pity that before they finished their words, Chu Litian killed them with the long sword in his hand.

People who are not their own, it is always a curse to keep them.

After disposing of the corpses of several people, Chu Litian began to plan, it would take three days to wait for the city defenders to come here, and he couldn't wait. At the very least, try to get in.

The city wall was very high, Chu Litian connected all the ropes he bought together, tied the finished nine-claw hook, hooked two or three times, hooked the extremely high city wall, and flew up the city wall with light skills, and then hit the thorn wall.

Chu Litian scolded bitterly, countless thorns pierced into his body, the pain was indescribable, and his expressions were all tangled, as hideous as kneading meat into dough.

Coming up with a trick of using a wall of thorns to prevent people from escaping is vicious enough.

The thorn wall was at least three feet high, Chu Litian stood on the edge of the city wall, the nine-claw hook had hung down weakly, there was no handrail to make him stand, and after pondering for a while, Chu Litian jumped to the ground helplessly.

For a whole morning, Chu Litian tried dozens of methods, but each of them hit him hard, those thorns pierced into his body mercilessly, again and again, the blood coagulated into blood quickly, and his clothes were also soaked with blood.

Numerous failures forced him to stop and re-study his countermeasures.

But despite the soreness and tingling in his body, despite the scorching sun, like being scorched by fire, and despite the difficulties, Chu Litian was full of strength when he thought of Ye Zitong who was trapped in the city, and he couldn't wait to muster up the courage to break through the thorn wall and jump into that city.
