The next morning.

Following Lin Ying’s reluctant farewell, Lin Yun, Yun Ruoxi and several other disciples set off with Ren Tan 1000, heading for Wang Cheng in Wang Yu.

Wang Yu is 1000 kilometers away from Yuzhou, located at the northernmost part of the Nanxia Kingdom, 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.

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

The descendants of the Eastern family did not want to make progress, so they concealed themselves and never settled down. As a result, their military strength was declining.

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 to prevent future generations from thinking, they will deliberately set Wang Cheng in the north, and look 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 4 big families went to the battlefield to experience, and one generation was better than the other. In the past 2 years, countless heroes and heroes have been born, making the kingdom of Nanxia more and more stubborn and stronger.

It is also because of the countless heroes and heroes of Wangcheng that they confronted enemy countries in the north. Only 8 surnames from the 100 major states in the south can live and work in prosperity and prosperity, laying a strong enough foundation for the kingdom.

The party was hired, and they traveled 100 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 Tan 1000 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 a few thousand people. But there was no pedestrian on the street, not even a light.

The whole street was dark and dark. The houses on the 2nd side of the street are also closed with doors and windows, seeming lifeless, lifeless, like a ghost town abandoned.

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 Tan 1000 looked up at the sky, and found that there was a lingering light on the edge of the sky: “At this point in time, it is not bedtime, there is a problem in this town.”

Lin Yun never spoke, but he could clearly feel the human breath from the house for 4 weeks. 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, and they seem to be afraid of something. It seems that something should have happened in this town.” Lin Yun said to Ren Tan 1000 with no expression.

Ren Tan 1000 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 a sense of desolation, apparently closed for a long time.

Ren Tan 1000 walked to the door of the inn, a knuckle bone tapped on the door frame, and was born to ask if anyone was inside.

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

Ren Tan 1000 can only cling to the wooden door and amplify his voice as much as possible: “We are businessmen passing by here, and when it’s too 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 Tan1000 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.”

Oh…

As soon as Ren Tan 1000’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, 100 gold coins a night.” The old man did not open the door immediately, but said tentatively.

“Okay, we live in 4 rooms.” Ren Tan 1000 immediately agreed. Although the price was very dark, for Ren Tan 1000, 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 out at 4 places with a probe. After confirming that no one was on the street, he closed the door nervously.

Seeing the actions of the old man, Ren Tan 1000 asked curiously, “Is this the treasurer, are you?”

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

Ren Tan 1000 took the words of the old shopkeeper and asked, “Is there any reason? I’d 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 happened in this town? Why did it become what it is today?” Ren Tan 1000 had already placed 400 gold coins on the counter at the same time.

The old treasurer flashed his eyes when he saw the gold coins put down by Ren Tan 1000. Then he quickly accepted the gold coins, and then said politely to everyone: “Everyone, please sit down and let us 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 their chopsticks, he then sat down and told the crowd 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, with a simple and honest 100 people, living and working in peace.

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.
