Chapter 205: Lockdown

"It's not like waking up and finding that you're all gone, even the tribesmen are gone." Wei Changming looked at Jin Yi.

"I'm looking for you."

"Hmm." Jin Yi nodded,

"I woke up early, and there was no one in the tribe by then."

"I searched through the thatched huts, and even the elderly with limited mobility disappeared overnight." Afterwards, Jin Yi asked, "Do you remember when you fell asleep?" ”

"We didn't gather around the fire to discuss, and then—" When Wei Changming recalled, he found that he couldn't remember what happened afterward.

Looking at Wei Changming's expression, Jin Yi said: "It seems that you have also discovered that we may not fall asleep naturally, and we don't know what happened after falling asleep." ”

"So when I woke up, I kicked the other two people awake and told them to go out and investigate the situation first." Jin Yi looked at the sky.

"Count the time, they should be back soon."

"Then why didn't you call me?" Wei Changming was a little puzzled.

"I didn't shout when I saw you were sleeping." Jin Yi looked around.

"Besides, one of them must be left with the tribe, and maybe they'll come back."

"Okay." While the two were talking, there was a sound from a tree branch not far away. After a while, two teenagers in Momoyama costumes came from not far away.

"I got there first." Wang Yu's voice came.

"I've gone farther than you, so I should be counted as a winner." Feng Yichen replied.

"Whoever comes back first will win, this doesn't count." Looking at the two bickering, Jin Yi was a little helpless.

"You two are not naïve." Feng Yichen and the others gave up. The two stepped forward.

"I've searched, and there is no trace of tribes living within a few miles, as if they had disappeared overnight." Wang Yu nodded.

"It's the same over there, it's similar to Feng Yichen's conclusion, it's not like someone is passing by."

"That's weird." Jin Yi frowned.

"Is it haunted?"

"I think it's better to go and see where they used to live, maybe they can't say if they go back." Feng Yichen spoke,

"They're not always talking about going back to their tribe."

"However, we didn't ask for a specific location yesterday." Wang Yu scratched his head.

"How?"

"It's easy." Feng Yichen jumped on the trunk of the tree, reached the top, and pointed to a cooking smoke ten miles away.

"Where people live, there will naturally be traces left, and the direction I point to should be the place we are looking for." Feng Yichen, who then jumped off the trunk, glanced at Wang Yu.

"Use your brains more." Wang Yu's face flushed, and he wanted to argue a few words.

"Well, they're all children." Looking at the two of them, Jin Yi sighed.

"Let's hurry up and go!" At this time, Wei Changming, who was at the back, spoke.

"It's still my junior brother who is more reliable, and he has already taken action." Hearing Wei Changming's voice, Jin Yi finally felt some relief.

Then Jin Yi turned around, wanting to see what Wei Changming was doing. I saw Wei Changming pick up the map in his hand, and looked up from time to time, as if he was comparing the position in the direction that Feng Yichen was pointing.

"That, junior brother, we don't need a map."

"It should be due south, we just need to get there before dark." Wei Changming scratched his head.

"I don't have a good sense of direction, I'm afraid I'll lead you the wrong way."

“······” Jinyi forehead,

"There's no one who can be trusted." Wei Changming and his entourage of four people, finally under the leadership of Jin Yi, went all the way south and walked out of the dense forest before dark.

At this time, Jin Yi, who was at the forefront of everyone, asked with some uncertainty: "Is this it, right?" ”

"Should?" The crowd looked at the towering city in front of them. Wei Changming stepped forward and gently stroked the city wall.

These bricks are clearly some years old, and some small buds have grown from the cracks of the hard bricks.

This city was not guarded, not only because there were not enough people but also for the convenience of the surrounding peers, the most central gate was open, and all kinds of passers-by passed by Wei Changming's side and entered the city from the city.

"Let's go in and have a look."

"Hmm." The four of them walked into the city. Throughout the city, the streets are crisscrossed with stone slabs, and most of the roads are lined with wooden houses with eaves sticking out.

The shops in the city also sell things with the characteristics of Fengzhou, and most of them are mainly unique clothing and food. At this time, there is a shop selling it.

"Green bamboo cake, freshly steamed green bamboo cake." Jin Yi was a little greedy, his eyes were firmly fixed on the dark green pastries in the hands of the shopkeeper, and Wei Changming simply bought four skewers when he saw this.

"It's coming! Guest, take your green bamboo cake. Jin Yi took a bite with satisfaction, and her mouth was instantly filled with the fragrance of bamboo.

Compared with the common pastries in Qianzhou, the green bamboo cake is more glutinous and has a hint of sweetness.

"Some doorways." Feng Yichen was also a little surprised by the taste of green bamboo cake. Just as the four of them were tasting, Wei Changming chatted with the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, how long have you been open?"

"Decades have it." The shopkeeper was busy cleaning the steamer in his hand and replied,

"I can't tell you how long it will take, but I've been in the business since the city was founded." Wei Changming nodded thoughtfully, and then heard the shopkeeper continue to introduce: "This city is the largest city in the vicinity, and people who do business usually come here. The shopkeeper glanced at the costumes of Wei Changming and the four,

"A few guest officers aren't from Fengzhou, right?"

"Hmm."

"Then you'll have to take a good look around here." Speaking of this, the shopkeeper sighed: "Thanks to the great witch of the southern country, the unification of Fengzhou has also made the connection between the tribes closer, which is why there is a prosperous scene now." Wei Changming and the four of them looked at each other in surprise.

Wei Changming suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, I don't know if you have seen a few people, they should be from the Golden Silkworm Gu Tribe." A golden silkworm is tattooed on the cuff of the garment, which is not difficult to identify. ”

"Don't be a joke when you are objective." Listening to Wei Changming's words, the shopkeeper stopped what he was doing, raised his head to wipe his sweat, and replied with a smile: "Since Nanwu ruled Fengzhou, no tribes are allowed to exist. The Great Witch of the Southern Kingdom wants everyone to abandon the suspicion of the tribe and live together, so the beliefs of the tribe are also forbidden, and these things are not allowed to appear on the clothing today. ”

"I see." Wei Changming hugged his fists and thanked him,

"Thank you for informing me."

"It doesn't matter." Wei Changming and the four of them walked to a street corner and discussed.

"What the hell is going on?" Wang Yu recalled what the store had said earlier.

"If the tribe no longer exists, then what did we encounter earlier?"

"And—" Feng Yichen looked around.

"This city is obviously not new, and the people in it have been living for some time."

"But if we are not mistaken, according to what the people of the Golden Silkworm Gu tribe said before, it has only been long since they were forced to move out of here, and the location of this city should be the former site of their tribe."

"The time is not right." Just when the four of them couldn't solve this question, they suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Someone has died of poison in the city, close the city gate immediately, and no one is allowed to leave the city!" Then, the four people in the corner alley saw several figures walking towards the city gate.

After a while, with

There was a "squeak" and the door closed.

"Those few are from the Southern Witch Kingdom." Wang Yu found that the costumes of the figures were no different from the three people he had seen in the dense forest before.

"That's it." Just when Wei Changming felt that the people in the city would be in a commotion for a while, he found that the people on the street heard the shouting, but they did not panic at all, but breathed a sigh of relief and were not affected in the slightest.

Faintly, you can still hear the conversation of several people.

"Thanks to Nanwu Kingdom, our security here is much better."

"Yes, I don't know where the culprit is hiding this time, I believe they will be able to solve it."

"Hmm."

"It seems that the people trust Nanwu Kingdom very much." Wang Yu was a little shaken in his previous opinion.

······· The city at night is quite charming. Wandering on the stone streets of the city, the people in the city did not make a big noise, but talked softly, and the antique street market was even more lively.

Since they couldn't get out of the city, Wei Changming and the four of them simply walked out of the street to experience the uniqueness of the city. On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops.

The streets stretch on both sides to the residential areas in the distance, and the road is constantly filled with pedestrians: some carrying heavy loads, some pulling goods on horses, and some stopping to enjoy the scenery of the city.

If it weren't for the fact that a few guards from the Southern Wuguo were busy shuttling around the streets from time to time, Wei Changming and the four would have forgotten that they were arresting the suspect at this time.

At this moment, from not far away, there was a commotion.

"Found it! Don't run! Wei Changming turned his head to look. At this time, I saw a man pushing away the street vendors indiscriminately, and he was running in the direction of Wei Changming in a panic.

And behind him, followed by the guards of the Southern Wu Kingdom, shouted while chasing: "He is the murderer who poisoned him!" ”

"Get out of the way!" Seeing Wei Changming and the others blocking his escape route, a trace of ruthlessness appeared in the man's eyes, and he took his right hand from his arms, and then threw it at Wei Changming.

A few silver needles flew in.

"Humph!" Wei Changming stood still, took out the iron sword from behind his back, and waved it.

"Ding, ding, ding!" The silver needle was bounced off by the swinging iron sword, stuck in the crack of the brick. Among them, a popped silver needle pierced the steppe horse that was transporting goods on the side.

"Shhh With a neigh, the half-height horse actually fell to the ground in an instant,

"Whew" gasped for a few moments and then lost his breath, and the goods he was pulling behind him were scattered all over the ground.

"My horse! My goods! The merchant cried out in anguish. Seeing that the blow failed, the gangsters wanted to escape in a different direction.

How did Wang Yu make him wishful. In one breath, Wang Yu's body changed. In the next second, he appeared in front of the gangster.

"Boom!" With a kick, the poisoner slammed into the wall, grunted, and fainted.
