A total of five hundred officers and soldiers had their armor removed and were hanging precariously on the city gate wall like corn. All those weapons and armor were piled under the city wall. This scene was nothing short of spectacular, even for those patrolling the city at night. The generals and guards were all tied up.
This early in the morning, a large number of people gathered at the gate of the city. They were all looking at this scene in amazement, curious and worried as to whether something had happened in the city.
But some people in the city are also a little depressed. After being shocked by Shangguan Ye yesterday, the martial arts people in the city seem to be a lot quieter today, and they go out less. They seem to be afraid of accidentally bumping into the evil star, and that one The bloodshed caused some people to be so frightened that they simply stopped doing business. They closed their doors tightly and prayed in their hearts that these evil stars would go away quickly.
The lord of Yanyang City, Wang Han, was restless all night and could not sleep. There was almost no news from a group of soldiers sent to inquire, and none of the people sent to inquire came back. He did not dare to make any random moves again. One night I was so anxious that I could only walk up and down the hall.
After finally waiting until morning, he was about to send someone to sneak into the crowd to find out the news. He saw some officers and soldiers guarding the city coming over in a panic to report. As soon as he heard the details of the matter, his face suddenly turned black and gray, and he became angry. Going to see it.
But when one of the feet stepped out, he retracted it. After thinking about it, he still asked someone to send a message to the deputy general who defended the city. Then he quickly wrote a letter and sent it secretly, feeling even more uneasy in his heart. .
To be honest, he really didn't pay much attention to the shock to Wulin that happened at noon yesterday. In his eyes, the Wulin people were just a bunch of reckless people. They sent troops to find trouble not because of those people, but because their youngest son fell into their hands. , under normal circumstances, this good-for-nothing son would be dead if he died, but he knew a lot of things, so he naturally had to come forward.
But he didn't expect that the entire army was captured and hung on the city wall, obviously as a warning to him.
I originally thought that the two people wanted in Wulin were just a small vendetta caused by personal enmity, but I didn't expect that such things would happen.
A mile away from the inn, almost all the surrounding areas were filled with miasma starting today. Anyone who walked in would be poisoned and unconscious if they could not walk a hundred meters. This made those who came to inquire about the information retreat. Loud drums.
And at noon, outside the miasma, there was suddenly an open space that had been cleared and could accommodate about a hundred people. Two ten-meter-high flagpoles on both sides were connected to a piece of white cloth, with red cinnabar writing on it. The names, if you look closely, turned out to be some famous sects. At the end, there was a sentence: "The blood wolf is here, do you dare to come and get it." Under a flagpole, a temporary tea shed was set up with tables, chairs and tea sets. Everything is complete, but there are only two shadow guards guarding here for the time being.
Most of Shangguan Ye's penumbra guards have been transferred here except for staying in various places. Tiansha Pavilion has also transferred some killers to sneak into the city at this moment. I really want to catch turtles in the jar. It has never been Shangguan Ye's style to wait quietly. This time The beginning is announcing his counterattack.
There were a lot of pigeons flying in the sky last night, and I think today those who are supposed to be here or not are almost squeezing in here.
Shangguan Ye and Murong Qiufeng sat on the roof after eating and drinking early in the morning and watched the scenery. Youxiang was still interrogating the prisoners and testing poisons happily. Yuntian stayed with her all night. Xiao Yan and Yan Qiren went out in disguise when they had nothing to do. After inquiring about the information, the entire inn seemed peaceful, but there were many killers and shadow guards lying in wait around it.
A black figure suddenly appeared on the roof silently, holding a homing pigeon in his hand and handing it to Shangguan Ye expressionlessly without saying a word.
Shangguan Ye took out the note from the bamboo tube in the carrier pigeon, opened it, looked at it, and raised his eyebrows.
"What is it?" Murong Qiufeng went over to look at it, and was also stunned. It was a letter asking for help, but it only had the word "ask for help" and nothing else.
"Whose?" Shangguan Ye turned his head and looked at the black figure.
The shadow's lips moved, but there was still no sound, but Shangguan Ye knew the result from the shape of his mouth.
Murong Qiufeng handed the paper over, wondering and waiting for the answer.
Shangguan Ye rolled up the paper and put it back again, "Let it go and continue to stare. Don't alert the enemy."
The man took the order and left.
"It came from the city lord's palace."
"Will it be for those so-called mysterious people?"
Shangguan Ye nodded, "Perhaps you can tell just by looking at it. No matter what kind of monster it is, it will always show up."
At this moment, Xiao Yan and the others also ran back. Seeing the two of them on the roof, they also flew up to them.
Xiao Yan casually pulled off his human skin mask with a bored and depressed look on his face.
"What's wrong? Is there any news?" Murong Qiufeng looked at him funny. To be honest, having a lively person like him by his side made people feel more relaxed.
"Forget it, there are some great martial arts sects, all of them are as timid as mice, and now they have become cowards. Now Yanyang City is not in the same situation as it was a few days ago. Those who don't know think that it is about to become a ruined city. Streets
The few people in the city were probably too frightened to come out to make trouble. This morning they also heard the city lord’s order to close the city.
We opened the door to prevent the prisoners from escaping. Our emotions treat us as prisoners. It is very lively outside the city now. A lot of people are shouting outside. It is making a fuss. They all want to go into the city to do things. A newly transferred team to guard the city.
The army also had a conflict with them, injuring several people and almost losing their lives. It's really chaotic now."
"Oh, it's quite lively to say the least. Don't you always like to join in the fun? Why do you seem unhappy?" Murong Qiufeng listened and looked at him in amusement and teased a few words.
Xiao Yan muttered and sat down, waving his hand, "I won't wade into the muddy water when it's so lively outside and let them go dog-eat-dog. It's just that there are many sect strongholds everywhere in the city, but they are all quiet. What else can the alliance say?
If we start here, all the bounty hunts that have made a big fuss are retracted by this shock, isn't this disappointing? They are a group of people who are as timid as rats but want to take advantage of the chaos to gain fame and reputation."
Murong Qiufeng and Shangguan Ye looked at his depressed expression and laughed helplessly. They thought it was too chaotic, but he didn't think it was chaotic enough.
Yan Qiren said helplessly, "But this kind of quietness is obviously abnormal. It is said that there are several strongholds of major sects in Yanyang City. Those who entered Yanyang City in those days were only small figures in some sects, and many big shots also came.
, but after what happened yesterday, no matter whether it is public or private, we should not be so quiet. The martial arts sects have always been proud of themselves, and even if they know they are defeated, they are still unwilling to suffer such a secret loss without saying a word."
"Indeed, there may be two possibilities. One is that the purpose of their trip is not actually us. We are just a cover for them to gather together. The other is that they may be waiting for something." Murong Qiufeng pondered for a while and said leisurely.
Said.
"There's news." Another figure in white suddenly appeared on the roof. Yuntian suddenly appeared on the roof with an expressionless face. He said coldly, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to recover.
Then his body flashed down again.
Several people were stunned and looked at each other, wondering why Yuntian looked so angry.
