Maybe Su Changan's attitude when he said this was too serious, the look on Du Wei's face suddenly fell, he waved his hand a little sullenly, and finally stopped talking. Silently stepped on his horse again, took his three hundred black-armored tiger ben, and walked towards Lanling Town at the foot of the mountain.
Su Changan looked at Du Wei with a gloomy face a little strangely, and couldn't figure out how a person who seemed to be very concerned about his whereabouts just now could suddenly change his face and ignore himself after he appeared. But since he came to Chang'an, he has met too many people who don't understand things and can't understand. He was used to not delving into things he couldn't understand. And now he had more important things to do.
"Let's go. Chu Xifeng walked over and patted Su Changan on the shoulder, and then followed those black-armored tigers towards Lanling Town without hurrying.
Su Changan answered yes and was about to follow, but for some reason there was a slight throbbing in the dantian, and he keenly caught the slightest mistake. He stopped, trying to understand what had just happened, but when he calmed down, the strangeness disappeared without a trace. He couldn't help but wonder if the fleeting throbbing just now was his delusion.
At this time, he looked up, but saw that Chu Xifeng and Na Du Wei had already walked out hundreds of meters away. He shook his head, shook off the strange thoughts in his head, and trotted to keep up with Chu Xifeng.
At this moment, a yin wind rolled up in the position where Su Changan had just stayed, and a black figure suddenly stretched out from the debris of the dead grass all over the ground.
The figure was wrapped in a wide black robe, revealing only a pair of red eyes with no whites. I can't distinguish between men and women, and I can't see my face clearly. He stared at the people who were walking towards Blue Spirit Town step by step, his body twitching up and down, as if he was smiling silently. And the morning fog that had just begun to dissipate suddenly became a little thicker at this time.
Su Changan, who was walking to Chu Xifeng's side, noticed it, and he turned his head to look at the col with some doubts. The black-robed figure was startled, his blood-colored eyes suddenly widened, and a yin wind struck again, and his figure disappeared in that instant.
Su Changan looked at the empty col and couldn't help but shake his head. He secretly scolded himself for being suspicious in his heart, and immediately put away the slightest uneasiness in his heart, and followed everyone towards the direction of Lanling Town.
The town gate of Lanling Town is very large, and this size of five meters wide and four meters high is not much better than the city gates of some small cities with side plugs. After all, it is a place close to the imperial city of Chang'an, and many things can no longer be determined by common sense. But this also shows how rich and prosperous the former Lanling Town was in some directions.
When everyone came to the gate of this town, the gate was still ajar, and there was a sheng flag with the word "ancient" written on the city wall, which was fluttering in the autumn wind. Everything seems to be ordinary, as if it is just an ordinary town, open the door and walk in, you will see a group of ordinary people, living here in a very ordinary way. That's all there is to it.
However, the pungent smell of blood and rotting corpses wafting from the gate of Lanling Town reminded everyone that behind this half-hidden gate were the corpses of thousands of residents, who had once lived and worked in peace and contentment, but now became a graveyard where they could not rest in peace after death.
Du Wei, who was walking in the front, hesitated to stand at the door for a while, and when he came into contact with Chu Xifeng's puzzled gaze, he gritted his teeth and walked in first.
The scene inside was even more unbearable than Du Wei expected, the incident of the slaughter of the town had happened for several days, but because the matter was too bad, the imperial court did not send troops to collect the corpses of the dead in the city at the first time, but was the first to send the thief Cao Guo Sanyun and Gu Xianjun, who came voluntarily, to investigate the matter. Perhaps finding out the murderer of this matter as soon as possible in the hearts of the imperial court, with the anger of the people is the top priority. Then the bizarre disappearance of the thieves Cao Guo Sanyun and Gu Xiaohou Ye added a more terrifying color to this already unbelievable thing. And those ordinary officers and soldiers were terrified of this place, and the matter of collecting the corpses was even more indefinite. In order to thoroughly investigate this matter, the imperial court even sent a god general and three hundred tiger troops who were already scarce to Lanling Town, which shows how much importance it attaches to this matter. Not to mention the indignation of the people who were slaughtered in Lanling Town, just the disappearance of Gu Xianjun, the pearl of the old lady of the Gu family, gave the imperial court enough reason to pay enough attention to this, you must know that Gu Qingfeng, the king of Jin, one of the only seven starfalls left in the Great Wei world, has a heavy army, and has been in charge of the north for the Great Wei for many years, and his anger is not something that ordinary people can afford.
And it is precisely because of these or those reasons that the corpses in the town have been like this for several days, and no one cares.
As a great Wei god general, Du Wei naturally saw a lot of scenes of dead people. Not to mention thousands of people, even the mass graves where tens of thousands of corpses are buried, he has not dug them. But those are soldiers, whether they are from the enemy or from our side, and whether they are from the human race or the demon race or the barbarians. But first of all, they were all soldiers, so they were ready to kill or be killed before they even set foot on the battlefield.
But the scene in front of me was different, the corpses lying on the street in an irregular manner, most of them were civilians who had no power to resist. Du Wei couldn't understand what it was to make those villains dare to take such a big risk to do such a unconscionable thing.
The expression on his face was also ugly because of the rotting corpses on the ground. Even the black-armored tigers who came with him and were expressionless all the way changed slightly for the scene in front of them at this moment, which was like hell on earth.
Du Wei glanced back at Chu Xifeng and Su Changan, but saw that Chu Xifeng was still indifferent, and the surrounding scene seemed to be nothing to him. And although Su Changan's face was a little gloomy, it was not too unusual. Du Wei couldn't help but think a little higher of this boy in his heart, not to mention ordinary people, even those soldiers who had been through the battlefield, if they saw the scene in front of them, they would definitely be nauseated. Even a dead soldier like Da Wei Huben changed a little when faced with such a scene. And how old is Su Changan, he can maintain enough calm in such a place. Du Wei couldn't help but start to re-evaluate this boy who had swept away his son's face at the General Star Conference.
After these series of things, if Du Wei hadn't realized the extraordinaryness of the long and young in front of him, then he, the Great Wei God General, would have lost his name.
He had now completely put away his contempt for Su Changan and Chu Xifeng, and he threw away the sigh in his mind because of the scene in front of him. He knew very well that the purpose of his trip was not only to rescue the missing little marquis of the ancient family and find out the truth about the slaughter of Lanling Town, but more importantly, he needed to take the lead in this matter and win more chips for the crown prince in this battle for the throne.
So he arched his hand towards Chu Xifeng, and said very solemnly: "Brother Chu, this Lanling Town is too big, if you and I look for clues together, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, but Gu Xiaohou and Guo Sanyun are now uncertain about their lives and deaths, and they can't afford you and me to delay like this." Why don't you separate and look for clues. ”
What he said was naturally righteous and awe-inspiring, and it seemed quite reasonable, but in fact, he wanted to leave Chu Xifeng and the others aside, and rely on the three hundred elite soldiers under his command to complete this matter alone. He originally thought that Chu Xifeng would have to leave some people, and he had already thought of an excuse to refuse.
But who knew that his voice fell, Chu Xifeng nodded lightly and said, "Okay." ”
He replied quickly and spoke in a short and powerful voice. It was as if he had been waiting for this sentence, waiting to shake off some baggage.
This made Du Wei's already unsightly face become more and more pale, he silently arched his hand towards Chu Xifeng, and as soon as he pulled the reins, he walked towards the depths of the town with three hundred black-armored tigers.
