Chapter One Hundred and Six: The Wasteland

The fire elf carried the two to the wasteland near the south gate, and then they dispersed in a hurry, and the moment his footsteps landed, Xiao Qianye felt a violent nausea in his throat, his face was blue and white and shook a few steps, he used the sword spirit to support his body, and tried to stop the sourness that had been churning in his stomach.

"Hey, you're alright...... Not. Xiao Yibai just wanted to care about his younger brother's situation, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth and almost vomited, the speed of the fire elves was extremely fast, and they were bumpy and trembling all the way with the flames as the carrier, at least they were sent back at five times the speed of the Blazing Phoenix!

"It's fine. Xiao Qianye finally breathed a sigh of relief, barely stood firm, and then looked around carefully and cautiously - here is still a hundred meters away from the south gate, judging from the surrounding dilapidated houses and waste all over the ground, it should be in the surrounding wasteland, but there is no one in the surrounding Li'an, not even a sound, Xiao Qianye held his breath, raised his sword and walked towards an earthen house, he stretched out his hand to push the door, and found that the same dilapidated wooden door fell directly to the ground with a "creak".

The wasteland and Skyware City are just a wall apart, like two completely different worlds.

"Wasteland...... How could there be no one?" Xiao Qianye's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he didn't dare to be careless, he glanced back at Xiao Yibai, and found that he was sitting with his chin thinking about something, and he didn't hear him speak.

Xiao Qianye didn't bother him, and continued to walk into the house, although it was a wasteland near the Heavenly Imperial City, the furnishings in the room were still very simple, the messy furniture fell to the ground, it was very worn, even the bedding on the bed was dirty and broken, and there was a disgusting sour smell under the opening, and there was still spilled food on the ground, which had already rotted and deteriorated.

Xiao Qianye covered his nose and examined it carefully, kicked away the chair in the middle with his toes, his eyes shrank, he subconsciously grabbed the sword hard, and strode back.

Under the wooden table behind the chair, a dead woman was naked, her arms and ankles were broken, stiff and twisted upwards, her eyes wide open as if she had been looking at him, her mouth was wide open, and the blood at the corners of her mouth had long since dried up.

Xiao Qianye's face was expressionless, and he ripped off the tattered bedding on the bed and threw it directly on the corpse with a mechanical hand, at this time Xiao Yibai stepped forward, frowned and complained: "It's not that you haven't seen a dead person, how can I check it if you are in such a hurry to cover it?"

While he spoke, the futon had been lifted in his hand, Xiao Yibai looked very calm, it seemed that he had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and he didn't care about the dead eyes of the woman in front of him, he took out a lancet from his waist, skillfully cut the skin along his throat, and then tore the woman's chest with his bare hands, turning the internal organs directly inside.

Xiao Qianye gasped, although he had already seen the calm autopsy of his eldest brother in the Glacier Forest, such a scene still made him want to stay away.

"No poisoning, no fatal injuries, huh...... How did you die?" Xiao Yibai frowned beside him, and guessed to himself, "It has been about ten days since I died, and the corpses have begun to decay and suppurate, is it another infighting in the wasteland?"

Xiao Yibai turned his head and swept around the room, his eyes tightened, he stood up and walked to the edge of the bed, there was a knife hole near the pillow, it looked like a dagger was erected and pierced directly into the wooden bed.

Xiao Qianye followed, and after the futon was thrown to the ground by him, the two of them found the remaining blood stains on the bed, and they all frowned and looked at each other, after a long time, Xiao Yibai sighed silently, he picked up the bedding and put it on the female corpse again, waved his hand to wash the contaminated blood with spiritual power, and then walked out to the next room to continue to check.

Xiao Qianye was silent, and her heart was full of mixed feelings - if you look at the location of the blood stains, this woman should have been violated to death, she may have struggled to resist, but in the end she could not escape the clutches.

"Qianye, come over for a moment. Without waiting for him to think about anything, the eldest brother's voice came from next door, Xiao Qianye hurriedly followed, this house is a little bigger, there are two beds on the left and right, and the middle is separated by a screen, Xiao Yibai folded the screen and pushed it aside, only to see a cellar exposed below, but the door of the cellar was open, and the strong smell of wine came from below.

Xiao Yibai smiled bitterly, he could see that he was in a hurry, and he had to calm down and check the abnormality in front of him, and said: " I didn't have time to care about these idle things, but I suddenly remembered one thing, the person called Huangyan during the autumn election, he signed up by himself, and the name of this wasteland was reported at the time, Mo Ge didn't check his details, and he was directly let into the city to run for election, and then he caused something to escape, Mingxi once ordered the wind demon to investigate, but there was no other harvest, and then Gao Chengchuan sent the nearby garrison troops over, I see that there is no one here, and nine times out of ten it was slaughtered. ”

"Tu Village ......" Xiao Qianye held his sword hard, his eyes were full of anger, this is indeed something that Gao Chengchuan can do, the autumn election incident caused the fifth princess to lose her legs and was forced to amputate, and also caused many serious injuries, as the governor of the forbidden army, he can't swallow this breath no matter what, and he will definitely give the royal family a satisfactory explanation!

"But did you find it, there aren't too many corpses, and only women. Xiao Yibai reminded lightly, pointing to the cellar, "I'll go down and take a look, you have been sick to the smell of wine since you were a child, so you can wait for me on it." ”

"No, I'm with you. Xiao Qianye refused, and had already strode down the stairs of the cellar, Xiao Yibai paused, shook his head helplessly and followed him.

The cellar was dark, the smell of wine mixed with the smell of rotting blood, so that his face turned blue all of a sudden, Xiao Yibai's fingertips lit a spiritual fire, and the two looked at the past by the firelight, and they both stood motionless in place - the cellar was also a mess, although the blood stains had long since dried, but the entire ground was this thick black and red, so that they had nowhere to stay, the wine jar in the corner of the wall was broken, and the crushed slag of ceramics mixed with sludge, emitting a strange smell.

On the other side of the cellar were the bodies of a dozen young women, still naked, with their eyes open, half of their bodies soaked in wine, rotting and fermenting.

"It's only women. Xiao Yibai didn't mind the tragic scene in front of him, he strode over to check the situation of the corpse, and muttered, "It's the same way to die as the woman above, no poisoning, no external injuries, if my guess is correct, it was raped to death by the soldiers of the forbidden army's garrison troops, but it is like something they can do, after all, Gao Chengchuan gave an order to slaughter the village, and he died horizontally and vertically, it is better to be cool first, these scum......"

He shook his head, the spiritual power on his fingers burned into flames, laughed sarcastically in the darkness, and sighed, "You go up, I'll send them off for the last time, let them go clean." ”

"Well, good. Xiao Qianye reflexively took a step, and before he took a step, there was a slight sound of footsteps above the cellar.

Xiao Yibai quickly extinguished the flame in his hand, his eyes also turned ice blue in an instant, the two of them did not dare to raise their vigilance, the footsteps above hesitated and paced, coughed lightly twice, and shouted below: "Hey...... Is that you?"

"It's the sound of stopping the boat!" Xiao Yibai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left the cellar, Jiang Zhuzhou was surprised and delighted, looked at the two people who came out of the cellar incredulously, and stammered and asked: "You, you, why are you here?"

"Why are you here?" Xiao Yibai asked anxiously, clasping Jiang Zhuzhou's shoulder hard, the blood in his eyes bursting out, "Tianyu City is not enough manpower, why did you run out at this time?

"You, don't worry. Jiang Zhuzhou was blocked by his series of questions and didn't know where to start, and hurriedly jumped a few steps away, he rubbed his shoulder, which was instantly pinched by Xiao Yibai, and muttered in a low voice: "I originally came here to wait for you according to Gongzi's arrangement, you return to Tianyu City from Jialuo, even if you want to take a detour to the West Gate, most of you have to pass by this area first, I was still worried that I would miss it with you, I didn't expect to meet it so coincidentally! I just said that the female corpse in the house was dug open by someone, it looks too like you did it......"

"Gongsun Yan's arrangement......" Xiao Qianye ignored Jiang Zhuzhou's broken thoughts, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he remembered one thing in his mind, and asked sharply, "What about Ye Zhuofan?

"Ahh......h Ye, Ye Zhuofan!" Jiang Zhuzhou remembered that person and stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, "After knowing that His Majesty sent the secret department to secretly arrest you, in order to prevent the other guards of the military pavilion from being secretly detained, he directly tied up Ye Zhuofan and took him away under the pretext of the wind demon, but don't worry, he is now with my brother and has left Tianyu City safely." ”

Xiao Qianye paused for a while, and his anger disappeared a lot, although Gongsun Yan's style of doing things was simple and violent, but in the current complex situation, it may also be the best way.

Xiao Yibai was still thinking about other things, and he was extremely uneasy: he asked: "Stop the boat, what's going on here, there are only women's corpses everywhere, what about the others?"

"The man and the child seem to have been taken to the Water Prison of the Bound King, and I don't know where the old man went. Jiang Zhizhou continued, his heart was also tight, and he reminded, "You have to be careful, it seems that the King of the Water Prison has researched something strange recently, they have arrested a lot of people to enter, and they don't know what to do." ”

The brothers glanced at each other with a heartfelt understanding, and both sighed heavily.

"By the way, I've quietly opened the south gate. Jiang Zhuzhou hurriedly changed the topic, slipped to Xiao Yibai's side, and said anxiously, "Gongzi went to the Star Sacrifice Palace alone and destroyed the eyes of the imperial capital, and now the eyes of the whole city are invalid, I took advantage of the chaos to open the south gate, but my magic cultivation is very average, and the blinding method will not last long, you should hurry up and sneak into the city now, the guards there are less than one-third of the usual, and all of them have been transferred to the vicinity of Xingluo Lake, and it shouldn't be too difficult to sneak in now." ”

Xiao Yibai nodded, silently pinched the pendant that had been hidden in his sleeve, and asked: "Well, I originally wanted to try to enter through the south gate, but I didn't expect to go with Gongsun Yan, by the way, stop the boat, what is the situation in the city now, what about the prince and the prince?"

"I don't know. Jiang Zhuzhou's face was embarrassed and worried, "The city has been completely locked down since last night, and no news can be transmitted at all...... Ah, by the way, you can take this thing with you, it was left to me by Childe. ”

Jiang Zhuzhou hurriedly took out the green butterfly and handed it to Xiao Yibai, and said firmly: "You can contact him with this." β€β€œ

At this point, Jiang Zhuzhou paused, suddenly took a hard breath, and said, "What if...... No, not if, when you can come out safely, I will pick you up here, I can't help you with other things, but it's okay to hide from here for a while, Xiao Yibai, you must remember to leave from the direction of the south gate!"

"Good. Xiao Yibai didn't ask the reason, and responded with great trust.

"Let's go. Seeing that he trusted his companion so much, Xiao Qianye simply didn't ask, Jiang Zhuzhou bowed deeply to the two, and then returned to the cellar alone without knowing what to do.

"Let's go. Xiao Yibai's face was grim, and in the pendant in his sleeve, Cen Ge turned into a shape, staring into the distanceβ€”at the end of his gaze, the outer wall of Tianyu City was fifty meters high.

"I'm tired of you. Xiao Yibai spoke in a low voice, and Cen Ge sneered, "You're welcome, since I promised Chiqing, I will do what I should do, but ...... Pity these naked women, who will continue to be used when they die. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin layer of mist rose in the wasteland, and then, with a strange "click", the woman's body walked out of the various rooms lightly.

Xiao Qianye's eyes were cold, and he looked at the figures in the mist in disbelief, they retreated and were covered with blood, and their rotten bodies were miraculously healed, their skin was like jade, becoming snow-white and smooth, their faces were slightly ruddy, their eyebrows and eyes were full of affection, and they had a charming smile.

However, they moved naked and naked towards the city walls.

Cen Ge smiled mysteriously, put his finger on his lips, and made a boo gesture to Xiao Qianye: "Men, the most unbearable thing is the temptation, although this trick is brainless, but it is extremely useful." ”

Xiao Qianye's eyes lit up suddenly, although his face remained unchanged, he didn't know what to think in his heart.

This is the most real side of Feiyuan, the misery and helplessness that people in high positions can never see, and the most dilapidated and ugly truth hidden in the periphery of the magnificent imperial city.

Like a ridiculous mirror, prosperous on one side and decaying on the other.
