Kou Ning glanced at Li Xiuyan, "Stingy, I won't go, it's weird to be tired, I'll wait for the prince to come down, he will definitely tell me what I saw." ”

Li Xiuyan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Okay, then you wait." ”

After speaking, he went to the carriage and fetched some water for Shen Xuanbing, so that she could drink some of it, and she was shocked, but she didn't mention what she saw just now, not wanting to make Shen Xuanbing uncomfortable again.

"Yanyan, what did you see?"

Seeing that Li Xiuyan didn't mention what he saw, Kou Ning endured it for a while, and finally couldn't help it, leaned in front of Li Xiuyan, and asked with a flattering face.

Li Xiuyan pointed in the direction of the city and said to him, "Actually, you don't need to go up, you can follow the direction of my finger and keep moving forward, about a few hundred meters, and you can see it." ”

"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier, why didn't you say it earlier!" Kou Ning said very quickly, turned to the side, and before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Li Xiuyan to look at Ding Xiaorou.

Li Xiuyan smiled bitterly in his heart, let alone look at it, even if he got closer, Ding Xiaorou would tremble with fright.

Take the fact that I went to the carriage just now to fetch water for Shen Xuanbing.

Before Li Xiuyan lifted the curtain, he could still hear Ding Xiaorou chatting with Li Shuyao, but when Li Xiuyan opened the curtain and Ding Xiaorou saw Li Xiuyan's face, Ding Xiaorou's face instantly turned as white as paper, and she hid directly behind Li Shuyao, and then began to tremble, shaking so much that the whole carriage trembled.

Li Xiuyan wanted to appease him, but after thinking about it, he gave Li Shuyao a look, and hurriedly put the curtain of the carriage back, for fear that Ding Xiaorou would tremble and startle the horses pulling the carriage......

"......"

Kou Ning, who went to explore the truth, after digging out the truth, let out a scream that was not like a human voice, and Li Xiuyan, who was a few hundred meters away, could hear it clearly.

When I looked up, I saw a round figure, as if it had been chased by a dog, and the girl ran back.

"Damn, why are there so many white bones!" Kou Ning, who returned to Li Xiuyan's side, said with palpitations while panting and wiping the cold sweat on his head.

Li Xiuyan smiled lightly, "You only saw one pit, and you were shocked like this, do you know how many pits like that there are?"

"Huh?" Kou Ning was almost shocked by Li Xiuyan's words, and asked in a trembling voice, "Many, how much?"

Li Xiuyan pointed at Baiyan City with his fingers, "The open space you can see is basically all ......."

"Huh?" Kou Ning was surprised again, "How many people are there?"

"Roughly estimated, there must be three or four hundred thousand. ”

"Fuck ......," Kou Ning sat on the ground. Then he looked up at the huge dead air like a dark cloud in the sky, and muttered: "No wonder, no wonder ......"

Chi Weiyang and Luo Tian and their party quickly walked out from the entrance leading to the top of the city wall, led by Chi Weiyang, with heavy footsteps and a tired face, walked straight to Li Xiuyan.

Li Xiuyan patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Chi Weiyang sighed heavily and nodded to Li Xiuyan in response.

After being silent for a long time, Chi Weiyang asked Li Xiuyan, "Brother Li, what do you think of everything here?"

Li Xiuyan said: "First of all, it can be determined that they are all unnatural deaths......

"You say, is it because they are infected with the disease, in order to prevent the spread of the disease, so ...... No, no, no!" Kou Ning interrupted Li Xiuyan's words, and was in a hurry to say what he thought, but halfway through speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and directly rejected himself.

Li Xiuyan chuckled lightly and glanced at Kou Ning, "You're not too stupid. Although their bones were sunk in the pit, there was no sign of burning inside or outside the pit, and neither were the bones. ”

Kou Ning smiled ashamedly, "Yes, yes, I just thought of this, that's why I ......"

Li Xiuyan didn't blame him for interrupting his words, and continued: "Since there are no traces of incineration, then the question is, what is the reason that caused them to turn from a corpse into a pile of white bones in such a short period of time, and the surface of the white bones is not involved at all, and it is incredibly clean, even if the chef has good knife skills, I am afraid that he will not be able to do this." ”

"Could it be the result of being eaten by something?" Kou Ning thought again.

Li Xiuyan nodded, "There is this possibility, but don't forget one thing, only the bones that belong to humans are clean, and there are a lot of things left on the bones of those war horses and other things." Unless the kind of thing you are talking about, with a soft spot for human flesh and blood, as for war horses and other things, it's just a second-best option. ”

Chi Weiyang frowned and said in a deep voice: "This ...... It seems unlikely. ”

Li Xiuyan nodded, "It's really unlikely." ”

Kou Ning said: "Otherwise, let's divide into several groups and go to the city to search to see if there is any life, I don't believe it, such a big city, there is not even a single breather." ”

Li Xiuyan agreed with Kou Ning's statement, "You can give it a try, otherwise we will never know what happened here just by guessing." ”

"Okay, then do as you two say. ”

After Chi Weiyang finished speaking, he immediately called Luo Tian and said: "You take them, in pairs, to search for live mouths in the city, whether you find them or not, before sunrise, you have to return here to meet, understand?"

"Yes, Your Highness. Luo Tian responded, and immediately summoned the twenty-three Imperial City Guards who accompanied him, plus him, a total of twenty-four people, who happened to be divided into twelve groups, and scattered to the city to start searching.

Li Xiuyan, Kou Ning and Chi Weiyang were not idle, they were a group of people, divided into three groups, and went out to search together.

As for Shen Xuanbing, Chu Qianhan and Li Shuyao, they were arranged to stay in place, after all, the situation in the city was too weird, and letting them stay at the city gate could prevent them from going deep into danger, and second, when Li Xiuyan had an accident, Shen Xuanbing and the three people who stayed outside could also go to the rescue in time, no matter how to say, it was one more guarantee.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the sky has already dawned.

Shen Xuanbing was a little worried about Li Xiuyan and them, and said hello to Chu Qianhan and Li Shuyao, then cast Xuanbing wings and flew into the air along the city wall, and when they flew to a certain height, the figures of Li Xiuyan and others appeared in her sight.

Shen Xuanbing's gaze swept over Li Xiuyan's and his party one by one, and judging from their movements, there didn't seem to be any emergencies, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiuyan, who was searching everywhere, would also glance in the direction of the city gate from time to time.

Shen Xuanbing, who had Xuanbing's wings on her back, was very conspicuous under the light of the early sun, and Li Xiuyan saw her at a glance.

Counting the time, it's almost time to go back.

However, just as Li Xiuyan was about to turn around and walk back, a roar similar to that of a beast suddenly came from a house not far from him.
