"Young Palace Master, it's getting late, there's a town in front, are we resting where tonight?"

Jiang Ji slowly opened his eyes and said casually: "Sister Yuexi, you can just look at the arrangements for these things." ”

"Yes, Young Palace Master. ”

Yuexi answered, and then said, "Everyone speed up a little, and you can rest when you get to the town." ”

The many maids who were originally a little tired felt that their steps were suddenly a lot lighter, and their speed suddenly became a little faster.

In just a few moments, the group entered the town.

The little loach suddenly said, "I feel that something is wrong, do you think it seems too quiet here?"

Even if it's late and everyone is at home, it won't be loud at all, right?"

Yuexi raised her right hand and motioned for the others to stop, and then listened carefully, but she didn't hear the slightest human voice, not even the sound of chickens and dogs barking.

"It's really wrong, you stay here to protect the young palace master, and I will look around with the little loach. ”

Jiang Ji had already recovered from his speculation on martial arts and reminded: "Be careful, pay attention to your own safety." ”

"Young Palace Master, rest assured, we will be cautious. ”

After saying that, Yuexi took the little loach to go deep into the town to investigate.

Knock! Knock!

"Anyone? We want to spend the night, anyone?"

"Anyone? I want to beg for a bowl of water. ”

The two called the door separately and walked to more than a dozen houses in a row, but there was no response at all.

The two looked at each other, and then either climbed over the wall or broke down the door, and then found that there was no one in these houses.

Soon the two returned to Jiang Ji's side, and then informed Jiang Ji of all the results of the investigation.

"Are they all mysteriously missing? Could it be that this town is holding some kind of event, so they are not at home?"

Faced with Jiang Ji's conjecture, Yuexi explained: "Then it won't even go with the livestock and poultry, right? ”

The little loach on the side asked, "Sister Yuexi, what should we do now?" will we continue to live in this town tonight, or will we quickly move through the town and rush to the next place to stay?"

The little loach has no experience in the rivers and lakes, so I don't know what the situation is now and how to deal with it.

And Yuexi, who is much older, is quite calm, after all, she has gone down the mountain more times than others, not to mention being well-informed, but at least she will not panic.

"Let's just bypass this town, young palace master, what do you think?"

Jiang Ji smiled: "I'm afraid this has something to do with that Jiang Cheng again, all the people in a town have disappeared, it's really a big deal, I want to go and see it."

Besides, we represent the Xingyue Palace, if we take a detour just because of this, wouldn't we lose the face of the Xingyue Palace, maybe we just called Jiang Cheng's intentions. ”

"What the young palace master said is that Yuexi is not well thought out, so let's take a deeper look, if we don't find anything, we will rest here for one night tonight. ”

Yuexi turned around as she spoke, preparing to go all the way and continue to explore the situation in this town.

The corners of Jiang Ji's mouth rose slightly, and he had already expected the reaction of Yuexi and the others.

Directly talking about the reputation of the Xingyue Palace, for these maids who regard the Xingyue Palace as their home, it is naturally easy to be obedient.

In fact, Jiang Ji can give a direct order, and Yuexi and the others will not have a second word, but they don't know what they think in their hearts.

Maybe there will be danger, but it is best to keep the same heart and not give others a chance.

And Jiang Jiming knew that there was danger, and he wanted to continue to stay here because the task given by the Lord of the Juanyue Palace was to make Jiang Cheng desperate and kill him again.

Therefore, Jiang Ji planned to dissolve Jiang Cheng's methods one by one, so that he could experience the feeling of despair approaching little by little.

It's like a cat playing with a mouse, and when you've had enough, you can eat it in one bite.

The group was very fast, and after a while, they came to the center of the town.

"It smells of blood!"

Among the group, Jiang Ji's martial arts are the highest, and his five senses are also the keenest, so he is the first to find problems.

The others were on guard, and then walked on to the smell of blood.

It didn't take long for them to see corpses in a place, as well as a place of dark red blood, and the smell of blood was even more tangy.

Yuexi frowned slightly, and stepped forward to check the cause of death of these people.

"Young Palace Master, I'm afraid there are thousands of people here, right? The people in this town are probably here, so Jiang Cheng is so cruel? Even the children and the old people are not spared!"

The little loach's hands trembled slightly, and his belly churned, but he forcibly endured it.

Among the people in this group, he was the youngest, one year younger than Jiang Ji, and he had not been out of the Star Moon Palace a few times, and he had never seen such a scene.

Jiang Ji got down from the sedan chair, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "If the sky makes it perish, it must first make it crazy, everyone be careful, if he wants to deal with us, he will definitely not just disgust us like this." ”

"Yes!"

Yuexi checked for a while, then came back and said: "Young Palace Master, these people were all killed by scimitars, and the people who did this are not ordinary people, and the knife skills used are exquisite, if I am not mistaken, it should be the people of the Black Cloud Eighteen Horsemen." ”

"Black Cloud Eighteen Riders? I seem to have heard of it somewhere. ”

Jiang Ji rummaged through his memories: "Are they those bandits who obey the orders of our Star Moon Palace? How could they appear here? and do such a thing?"

The Black Cloud Eighteen Cavalry was originally created by eighteen people, because all the members were black armor and black horses, and they were like a black cloud when they ran, so they had this name.

More than ten years ago, they were subdued by the Lord of the Moon Palace, and since then they have obeyed the orders of the Star Moon Palace.

Yue Xi tightened the sword in her hand and said, "I don't know why they are here, I have a bad premonition." ”

Jiang Ji was not too nervous: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the trouble has already come." ”

As soon as the words ended, a group of centaurs appeared from the end of the street opposite, and then seemed to have noticed the anomaly in the town as well, and quickly approached.

Then a large group of vomiting sounded, and a thin middle-aged man holding a sheathed long sword noticed Jiang Ji and the others immediately, and his body was like a big bird, sweeping straight over.

He clenched his fists and saluted, "Wang Yanchen, the head of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, I don't know if you know what happened here, how could such a tragedy happen?"

Jiang Ji raised his eyebrows, surprised in his heart, and did not show it on his face: "I just arrived, and I don't know what happened." ”

Wang Yunchen glanced at the people in the Star Moon Palace, and saw that they were clean, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated.

Thousands of people, even if they don't have much combat effectiveness, but not just a dozen or so people can all stay, and these people have obviously been dead for a while, if Jiang Ji and the others killed so many people, it is impossible to stay here.

At this moment, a shout came from behind him: "Be careful, these people were killed by the Black Cloud Eighteen Horsemen, and those people in front of you are from the Star Moon Palace!"

Wang Yunchen was shocked in his heart, and his body retreated violently.
