Chapter 372 Weird Town

Early the next morning.

Following Lin Ying's reluctant farewell, Lin Yun and Yun Ruoxi, together with several disciples, set off with Ren Tanqian, heading for the city of Kings in Wang Yu.

Wang Yu is thousands of miles away from Yuzhou, located in the northernmost part of Nanxia, ​​and very close to the border fortress.

To the north of the border fortress is the kingdom of Beiyan, the enemy of the Nanxia Kingdom.

The reason why the early Nanxia king built the city of the king so close to the enemy country is from the history of the Nanxia country.

Three hundred years ago, it was not the Nangong family who ruled the Kingdom of Nanxia, ​​but the Oriental family that had long since fallen.

The Dongfang family lived in a state of peril, they did not want to make progress, and they concealed themselves. As a result, their military strength was gradually declining, and they were captured by the Kingdom of Beiyan in one fell swoop.

At the time of the crisis, the Nangong family united with the Shangguan family, the Murong family, and the flower family to fight back, and finally kept the kingdom half a country.

When the war was stable, the Nangong family became king.

In the early Nanxia Wang Xiongcai heroes, he vowed to collect blood debts from Beiyan Kingdom. In order not to let future generations live in peace, the King City was deliberately set in the north, and looked at the territory occupied by the enemy.

The seemingly adventurous decision of the first king of Nanxia laid a strong foundation for the continuation of the kingdom of Nanxia.

Under the threat of enemy countries, survival instincts inspire people's blood. The descendants of the four major families went forward and went to the battlefield to practice. One generation was better than the other. Over the past two hundred years, numerous heroes and heroes have been born, making the kingdom of Nanxia more and more tenacious and stronger.

It is also because of the countless heroes and heroes of Wangcheng that they confronted enemy countries in the north. Only the people of the eight major states and counties in the south can live and work in peace and prosperity, and lay a strong enough foundation for the kingdom.

The group was hired by horses, and traveled hundreds of miles north on the same day. They went to the border area of ​​Yuzhou County that night, passing by a small town.

"It's getting late, let's sleep over here tonight, and hurry up tomorrow." Ren Tanqian stopped at the town entrance and said to everyone.

After all, the horses hurried for a day and needed a night's rest.

Several of them nodded, and then led the horse into the town.

After entering the town, everyone felt that the town was a bit wrong.

The size of the town is not small enough to accommodate thousands of people. But there was no pedestrian on the street, not even a light.

The whole street was dark and dark. The doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street are closed and lifeless, like a ghost town abandoned by people.

Walking on the deserted street, the sound of footsteps echoed clearly in everyone's ears, which seemed very strange.

"What's going on in this town? Why can't you even see a ghost?" Yuan Xiaofeng asked curiously.

"Isn't this a ghost town in the legend?" Hu Jin grinned grinningly.

Ren Tanqian looked up at the sky and found that there was still a ray of light at the edge of the sky: "At this point in time, it is not time to go to bed, this town has a problem."

Lin Yun never spoke, but he could clearly sense the human breath from the houses around him. This shows that everyone in the town is hiding in the house.

None of them had yet gone to bed, but for some reason they all curled up at home and were afraid to go out.

"The townspeople are all hiding in the house, it seems that they are afraid of something, it seems what happened in this town." Lin Yun said to Ren Tanqian with no expression.

Ren Tanqian nodded and said, "Let's go to the inn first, and ask the shopkeeper about the town."

"Okay." A few of them nodded, and then they walked along the block, searching more than half of the town, and finally found an inn.

The inn also closed its doors and windows tightly, and even the signboards were covered with cobwebs, giving people a sense of desolation, apparently out of business for a long time.

Ren Tanqian walked to the door of the inn, and there was a knuckle on the door frame, and he was born to ask if anyone was inside.

You can tap the question for a long time, but no one responds.

Ren Tanqian could only cling to the wooden door and amplify his voice as much as possible: "We are businessmen passing by here, and when it's late, we have nowhere to stay, so I want to stay overnight in your shop. Money is not a problem. Convenient. "

Perhaps the phrase "money is not a problem" moved the shop owner, and soon an old voice came from the house: "Are you really businessmen?"

Ren Tanqian hurriedly replied: "We are indeed businessmen, with a lot of money on our bodies, and we cannot find any place to spend when we come here."

Crunch ...

As soon as Ren Tanqian's words were finished, the inn door cracked to a vertical crack.

An old man's eyes appeared in the crack, watching the door with vigilance.

"One room, one hundred gold coins a night." The old man did not open the door immediately, but said tentatively.

"Yes, we live in four rooms." Ren Tan Qian immediately agreed. Although the price was very dark, for Ren Tan Qian, it was not much money at all.

"Come in, hurry up." The old man hurriedly opened the door, beckoning to the crowd nervously.

After several people entered the house, the old man looked around with a probe, and after confirming that no one was on the street, he closed the door nervously.

Seeing the actions of the old man, Ren Tanqian asked curiously: "Excuse me, are you the shopkeeper?"

The old treasurer said with a sad look: "The guest officer has no idea, we are forced to do so."

Ren Tanqian took the words of the old shopkeeper and asked, "Is there any reason? I would like to hear the details."

The old shopkeeper lowered his voice and said with a horrified expression: "Presumably the guest officer also found out just now that our town is inaccessible and almost empty."

"Excuse me, what is happening in this town? Why did it become what it is today?" Ren Tanqian had already placed four hundred gold coins on the counter while asking.

Seeing Ren Tanqian put down the gold coins, the old shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly accepted the gold coins. Then he said politely to everyone: "Everyone, please sit down and talk slowly."

With the greeting of the old treasurer, everyone sat down at the dining table.

The old treasurer took another menu and let everyone order some side dishes. When the crowd moved the chopsticks, he then sat down and told the people about what happened in the town.

This town is located on the border of Yuzhou, and is named Linzhong Town because it is surrounded by dense forests.

Linzhong Town was originally stable and peaceful, the people were simple and honest, and lived and worked in peace and contentment.

However, in recent months, a group of fierce bands have suddenly emerged, making waves in this area.

In the name of offering sacrifice to heaven, they forcibly abducted the townspeople in the town. None of the townspeople who were abducted returned.

Yuzhou City has also sent patrols to the bandits. However, the bandits are too strong, and even the patrols of Yuzhou City have never come back, and they can only let them continue to act arrogantly.
