Chapter 84: A Ghost Town on a Rainy Night
"It seems that the crux of this problem is still in that 'ghost town'!" In the caves, after inspecting several caves that still smelled of foul odors, Di Renjie came to such a conclusion.
Throwing away the two small pieces of iron ore in his hand, clapping his hands, Li Yuanfang asked, "My lord, what should we do now?" ”
"Naturally, I'm going to that mysterious 'ghost town'!" Di Renjie laughed, since arriving in Youzhou, the place "Ghost Town" has almost ground his ears out of the cocoon.
Around the cave, dozens of guards are scattered. Out of the cave, looking in the direction of the "ghost town", Di Renjie stretched out his hand: "Yuan Fang, Di Chun, call the guards, let's go!" ”
"Go now?" Li Yuanfang said in surprise.
Looking into the distance, above the continuous peaks, the clouds were thick, and the thunderstorm was obviously brewing above the sky, and the surrounding air seemed dull and abnormal. It was already late, and it was very dark.
"My lord, it's getting dark, and it looks like it's going to rain too!" Putting forward two reasons, Li Yuanfang couldn't help but persuade: "Let's take shelter from the rain in the cave tonight, and go to find out tomorrow......
Di Renjie knew that Li Yuanfang was worried about his safety, and joked: "In this stone cave, it is cold and damp, if you want to shelter from the rain, how can there be a comfortable house in the town?" ”
From the cave to the "ghost town", although there are only two mountain peaks, the straight-line distance is not far, but there is no road at all, and after a big circle, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang took people to the "ghost town".
Above the grave, the town stood alone, dead silence inside, the wind was gusting around it, night had fallen, and phosphorus fire flashed among the houses and streets of the town......
Standing at the entrance of the town, he turned his head to look at the three words "Yaojiapu" engraved on the old stone, and his eyes stayed for a moment. Looking up, behind the town is a mountain like a knife and an axe, and behind the peak, it should be where the stone cave is.
"Master, this place is a little evil...... Di Chun looked at the town, shrunk his neck, and said to Di Renjie.
Hearing this, Di Renjie turned his head to look at Di Chun, this little guy's eyes wandered, obviously a little nervous. The accompanying team of guards also had awe in their eyes. Even Li Yuanfang, although his face was expressionless and calmly facing the "ghost town", his tense body betrayed his uncalm psychology.
Di Renjie sighed in his heart, Di Chun had followed him for many years and had a lot of knowledge, and Yuan Fang was even killed from the pile of dead people, and even they were so afraid of the things of the ghosts and gods. It is no wonder that the officers and soldiers have found nothing in this place before......
"Don't be nervous, this is all a trick, how can there be a ghost ...... in the world" opened his mouth and muttered a few words, Di Renjie wanted to appease people's hearts.
Before he finished speaking, a violent roar surged, and the thunder filled his ears, and Di Renjie couldn't help but shudder.
The wind is getting stronger, and the whining is incessant. Looking up at the sky, above the night sky, a little arc light flickered, and sighed: "It's going to rain!" ”
"My lord, General Yuan has led the army and has arrived at the post!" A guard hurried over and said to Di Renjie.
These words immediately stabilized people's hearts......
"Good! You go back and tell Yuan Hui to take advantage of the opportunity! With a smile, Di Renjie ordered: "Let's go, let's go into the town first!" ”
"My lord, if the situation is unknown, don't take any risks! It's better to take the guards to inspect it, you are waiting for the brigade outside the town......" Li Yuanfang stopped Di Renjie.
However, Di Chubby is very stubborn and enters the town in person. Probably because of luck, the old man is full of confidence......
Behind a mountain beam in front of the town, Yuan Hui quietly came with five hundred soldiers, Di Renjie, a fat old man, openly asked Yuan Hui to scatter the soldiers to encircle and suppress, but secretly ordered him to lead his capable soldiers and come by the trail under the guidance of the local hunters......
A dazzling lightning bolt tore through the night sky, and a brief light illuminated Yuan Hui's handsome face. Standing on a high mountain beam and looking down, the "ghost town" under the thunderstorm is gloomy. I could see some light in the town, which should be the torches made by Di Renjie and his party......
"General, is the rebel party really hiding in the 'ghost town'?" Li Jian stood beside Yuan Hui and asked in a low voice.
Turning his head and glancing at the young brigade commander: "What, don't you believe it?" ”
"It's very strange here, and standing on top of the tomb, I don't think the rebel will be so bold! Besides, his subordinates have also led people to search before, but there is no trace, this is a dead town! Li Jian's tone was still hesitant.
"If it's a dead town, why are those houses and courtyards so clean and tidy, and who cleans them up?" Yuan Hui asked.
"This, will it be ......?"
didn't need Li Jian to finish speaking, Yuan Hui understood what he meant. I sighed in my heart, O foolish mortal......
"Okay, don't scare yourself. Whether it's a human or a ghost, we'll see later! With a wave of his hand, Yuan Hui stopped Li Jian.
Suddenly, I felt a chill on my forehead, accompanied by a violent thunder, and the raindrops crackled and poured down. Stretching out your hand, raindrops the size of beans splashed on the palm of your hand. As soon as it rained, the feeling of depression that had shrouded the surrounding mountains and forests dissipated a lot, and the day was brighter.
"You take your brigade of brothers to the back of the town and attack the town from under the peak wall!" After pointing to the town, Yuan Hui instructed Li Jian.
Yuan Hui gave the military order, Li Jian didn't say much, gave up the order, and was about to take someone to sneak away. was stopped by Yuan Hui: "Forget it, when you get around to the town, I'm afraid it's too late......"
Yuan Hui suddenly thought that if he stopped the people of the Iron Hand Regiment inside, it would be self-defeating. Like those people under Jun, he is still useful......
The rain was not small, standing on the post, but after a moment's effort, the armor was already soaked.
"Let's go, we're laid off!" beckoned, Yuan Hui personally led the remaining sergeants and cautiously touched the "ghost town".
In the town, the guards protected Di Renjie and had already gone deep. With sharp eyes, he kept looking at the surrounding environment, and stopped in front of a shop, Di Renjie laughed a few times.
"Why are you laughing?" Li Yuanfang stared at a face and asked suspiciously.
Without saying much, Di Renjie ordered: "Let the guards be careful!" ”
The heavy rain was falling, and he raised his hand to cover the rain, Li Yuanfang said: "My lord, the rain is too big, why don't you go into the house to hide?" ”
The houses on both sides of the street were dark and mysterious, pointing to the shops, Di Renjie said, "Go!" Let's take a look! ”
At the sound of an order, a group of guards around the area also divided into several groups and broke into other houses. Probably to release the tension in his heart, he broke the door and broke the window, which was very rude.
Inside the shop, it was pitch black, the dim light of the torch dispelled a little darkness, a lightning bolt lit up, Di Renjie clearly saw that on the wall in front of him was "hanging" a pale man with a hat, staring at his few people without the slightest emotion.
Di Renjie was shocked, Li Yuanfang also saw it, his expression tightened, and he immediately pulled out the chain knife from behind his waist, and several guards behind him did the same, immediately pulled out their weapons and guarded them tightly.
Holding the torch high, he saw that there was no one in front of the flat wall, as if what he had just seen was an illusion. Several of the guards were a little frightened......
Only Li Yuanfang's eyes were cold, and at that moment, he noticed a trace of strange movement.
Suddenly turning to the right, Li Yuanfang pushed Di Renjie away with his left hand, and shouted: "Protect your lord!" ”
The cold light was a little bit, launched from the right side, hit Li Yuanfang's face, jumped up, flashed a few poison darts, and the steel knife slashed, knocking one fly.
The other guards did not have Li Yuanfang's skills, and only one of the few people who entered the house survived.
The house was suddenly closed, and he couldn't take care of it, Li Yuanfang pulled Di Renjie and broke the door. In the gap between the broken doors, he casually slaughtered a blue-clothed killer who appeared to attack.
