After listening to Chu Qianhan's words, Li Xiuyan was even more confused, he knew that those people in Chi Yan were all solved by himself after the rampage, but no one had told him the specific details.

So he asked Chu Qianhan curiously, "How did I get rid of those guys at that time?"

Chu Qianhan looked around and said in a low voice, "Are you sure you want me to say it now?"

Li Xiuyan thought for a while, "It's better not to do it, wait for the opportunity." ”

As soon as his words fell, Luo Tian, who had gone to prepare the carriage, just rushed back, and the group immediately set off on the road and rushed to Baiyan City, the border city of the Chiyang Empire.

The people who came to find Chi Weiyang this time, in addition to Luo Tian, were accompanied by twenty-three people, all of whom were the Imperial City Guards, and Luo Tian was the commander of the three teams of the Imperial City Guards.

As the day went west, Chi Weiyang, who was at the forefront of the team, gradually slowed down.

Luo Tian immediately stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to rest?"

Chi Weiyang nodded, "If it's over today, and you've been on the road for five days in a row, and people are sleepy and tired, you go to the front to explore the road, find a place to rest, let's rest for one night, and then continue on the road tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes. Luo Tian clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and according to Chi Weiyang's instructions, he rushed to find a place to rest.

Li Xiuyan immediately rushed to Chi Weiyang's side, "Prince, how long will it take to get to Baiyan City?"

Chi Weiyang said: "It's not far away, let's find a place to rest for the night first, set off tomorrow morning, and we can arrive before noon." ”

In the middle of the moon, Li Xiuyan and his party rushed for five days in a row, and finally had a chance to rest.

Kou Ning ate dry food for five days in a row, and the whole person lost weight, saying that he would go to the nearby woods to collect some game.

Chi Weiyang photographed ten Imperial City Guards to go with him.

Chi Weiyang picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the fire in front of him, the jumping firelight was reflected on the young man's face, and he looked like he was physically and mentally exhausted.

"I'll be in Baiyan City tomorrow, don't think so much, have a good rest tonight. Li Xiuyan reached out and patted Chi Weiyang's shoulder and comforted.

Chi Weiyang took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Li Xiuyan, and smiled a little tiredly, "Thank you, Brother Li, willing to accompany me......"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Xiuyan waving his hand, "I told you, we are brothers, this kind of unseen words, let's say less in the future, it hurts feelings." ”

Chi Weiyang smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I won't talk about it in the future." ”

"That's right. Li Xiuyan also picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the fire in front of him. He knew that Chi Weiyang looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he was diametrically opposite, so he directly diverted the topic, glanced in the direction where Kou Ning and his party left, and muttered: "This dead fat man, you won't get lost, you won't come back for so long." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard two sneezes from the woods, and then I heard Kou Ning's scolding voice.

"I can't help but think. Li Xiuyan smiled, stood up, and looked in the direction of Kou Ning.

The figures of Ko Ning and the Imperial City Praetorian Guards soon appeared.

Li Xiuyan looked at the group of people empty-handed, and couldn't help but be a little curious, so many people went out to find food, but they actually returned empty-handed, playing?!

Then asked Kou Ning, and Li Xiuyan learned that Kou Ning's scolding just now was not aimed at him, but that there was not even anything to breathe in the vicinity except for their group.

After Li Xiuyan listened, he seemed to suddenly feel something, and frowned at the night sky in the southwest direction.

The night sky there looks a little blurry, as if it is covered by a layer, but it is not like it, and after looking at it for a long time, it will bring people a strong sense of depression.

Kou Ning saw that Li Xiuyan didn't say anything for a long time, and looked in the direction where Li Xiuyan's eyes were looking for a while, but he didn't find anything, and couldn't help but ask Li Xiuyan curiously, "What did you see?"

Li Xiuyan retracted his gaze, glanced at Kou Ning and Chi Weiyang beside him, and spit out two words in a deep voice, "Dead air." ”

"Dead air?" Kou Ning felt that the word was a little unfamiliar, but he was not an idiot, and he could understand a little bit of the meaning, so he asked, "What the hell is dead air?

Li Xiuyan replied, "Any living being, including us humans, once it dies, it will exude a dead aura. It's just that the dead air is invisible and difficult to detect, so few people know about the existence of the dead air. ”

"Since death is invisible, what is going on in the sky?"

"Because there are so many dead people, a large amount of dead qi gathers in one place and cannot dissipate on its own, so it will change from invisible to tangible. ”

Kou Ning was shocked when he heard this, and immediately turned his head to look at Chi Weiyang, "...... in that direction"

Yu Weiyan nodded with a heavy face, "That's right, that direction is Baiyan City." ”

Kou Ning rubbed his face, "In other words, these dead qi are the soldiers of Baiyan City......"

Li Xiuyan took a deep breath and said to Chi Weiyang: "Let's go on the road, even if our people are resting, their hearts are restless, it's better to rush over early." ”

"But ......"

"Don't be, there's nothing to eat around here, stay here to gnaw dry food, since it's dry food, staying here to gnaw is no different from gnawing on the road. ”

Hearing Li Xiuyan say this, Chi Weiyang's eyes suddenly showed gratitude, in fact, he didn't want to rest at all, but he didn't want to hurt Li Xiuyan and them because of his own reasons, plus he didn't know the situation in Baiyan City, so he wanted to have a good night's rest before entering the city, but when he heard Li Xiuyan talk about death, Chi Weiyang had a feeling that his days were like years, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly directly to Baiyan City.

"Luo Tian, inform everyone, set off immediately. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

Li Xiuyan and his party set off again, and the speed of their march was nearly double that of before. After three moments, he finally came to the foot of Baiyan City.

Baiyan City is built on the mountain, after the continuous repair of the Chiyang Empire, it is like an impregnable fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention the same strength, even if the strength is more than double, it may not be able to break through the city wall.

But such an impregnable city, but in just three people, how serious is the epidemic that Luo Tian said?

"It stinks in here!" Kou Ning tore off a corner of his coat and blocked both nostrils.

Not only here, on the way here, Li Xiuyan and his party had already smelled a faint smell of rotting corpses, and when they arrived here, it was even stronger, and it was already a little pungent.

But what made them feel strange was that there was only the smell of carrion, but not even a carrion. To be exact, I don't even see a single corpse.

"You say, could it be that someone has already cleared the battlefield?" Kou Ning asked the question in his heart.

But it was immediately denied by Li Xiuyan, "No." If you think about it, is it not easy to sweep up a battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people? If you look at the blades scattered around, can it be that the people who sweep the battlefield only sweep the corpses, but do not want blades?
