"Follow me closely. Once you come, be safe. Let's go into the city and see what's going on."
Wang Qi'an warned him and took the lead towards the city gate.
There were no guards, no signs of battle or corpses.
It's like an abandoned city. First update@
The four of them passed through the city gate, walked a short section of the official road, and came to the main street.
I saw rows of houses on both sides, with different heights.
Look at the shop names and signs, restaurants, inns, flower shops and cloth shops, you can find them all.
As you can imagine, this place must have been a prosperous place in the city on a daily basis, but now it is empty and lifeless.
Doors and windows of every shop, shop, and house are closed.
"Why is there no one?"
"Strange? There are six to seven thousand defenders in this city and tens of thousands of residents. Could it be that all of them have disappeared?"
"Lord Tong, do you think it's going to be haunted and capture everyone in the city?"
The three people behind looked at the deserted, almost unfamiliar streets, feeling panicked and whispering in low voices.
Wang Qi'an was also puzzled and couldn't help but be more vigilant. He looked at the streets on both sides intently as he walked.
After several people walked a short distance, Wang Qi'an suddenly felt something. He hurried forward a few feet, tiptoed a little, and rose up from the ground.
He violently opened the street window on the second floor of a double-storey shop and rushed in.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me... I didn't mean to..."
The appearance of Wang Qi'an frightened a sixty-year-old man with a long gray beard and he fell to the ground in panic.
He yelled and backed away with all his strength.
"Don't be afraid, old man, I'm not a bad person..."
Wang Qi'an saw that the room was quite spacious and filled with tables and stools, so he thought it must be a restaurant or something.
He stepped forward to help the old man up and explained with a gentle look.
"You...you're really not with them?"
The sixty-year-old man was still in panic and still asked quietly.
Wang Qi'an nodded, held it steady, let go, and walked aside alone to show that he had no ill intentions.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
There was a sound of footsteps going upstairs, and then Hu Tielin and two subordinates were seen hurriedly appearing at the stairs and rushing towards his position.
"Isn't this Shopkeeper Yang? What happened?"
Hu Tielin seemed to know the man and opened his mouth to ask hurriedly.
When shopkeeper Yang saw Hu Tielin, he quickly hid behind him as if he were seeing a savior, pointed at Wang Qi'an and said:
"Hu Dutong, you came just in time. This person's origin is unknown. Please arrest him quickly..."
Hu Tielin quickly interrupted him and said:
"What are you talking about? This is our newly hired master, Mr. Cheng..."
When Hu Tielin asked Wang Qi'an his name on the way, Wang Qi'an casually gave him the surname Cheng.
Shopkeeper Yang was stunned for a moment, showing embarrassment, and couldn't help but apologize again and again.
"It turns out to be Mr. Cheng. This old man is Yang Buer, the owner of this restaurant. I was really blind just now. I hope you can forgive me..."
Wang Qi'an didn't care about this, so he interrupted and asked:
"Who are they, shopkeeper Yang said? Why are the doors and windows of every house closed? What happened here? Why is there no one on the street..."
Wang Qi'an spoke so eloquently that Yang Buer almost couldn't react when he asked.
"Yesterday... I don't know where a large number of vicious people came from. What's even more terrifying is that one of them was riding a huge evil beast that I had never seen before, followed by a large number of wolves... It scared everyone and fled back. At home, close the doors and close the doors..."
Yang Buer pressed his chest, seeming to have lingering fears.
"This group of villains let wild wolves guard the door and warned every household that no windows or doors are allowed to be opened before midnight tonight, and no one is allowed to go out even half a step, otherwise they will be bitten to death by hungry wolves..."
He paused and said:
"Seeing that there was no sound outside, the old man couldn't help himself. He wanted to see if the evil gang had left... Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the window, Mr. Cheng flew in from the outside like a god from heaven... "
Wang Qian thought that the person he was talking about riding the evil beast must be the white fox boy.
"When these evil people appear in the city, can it be that the city guards are left unattended. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

? "
Hu Tielin asked.
However, after the bloody battle at the pier, he thought to himself that even if the city defense army wanted to take care of it, they would be unable to do so.
Yang Buer was also confused and said:
"I have thought about this too. But everyone was waiting and waiting, but from the beginning to the end, not even a single corner of the army's clothes was seen..."
Wang Qian thought for a moment, then turned to Hu Tielin and said:
"Hu Dutong will lead the way. Let's go to General Liao's garrison to see what's going on. Shopkeeper Yang should stop acting rashly, at least wait until midnight."
The Luchuan garrison is located in the north of the city and is built on the mountain. Behind it is the famous Luchuan Mountain.
Wang Qi'an and four others arrived and saw that the two gates of the garrison were closed tightly, and there were no guards in front of the door.
Wang Qi'an and others listened outside the door for a moment, and found that there was no sound inside.
"Even if, as Mr. Cheng said, General Liao has led his troops to rescue Rongzhou, the entire garrison should not be left unattended? Is there something wrong?"
Hu Tielin looked at Wang Qi'an with confusion on his face, as if waiting for his instructions.
Wang Qi'an stepped forward and pressed the heavy door with both hands. He found that it was not locked. He pushed it and slowly opened it.
The four of them cautiously walked around the screen wall, but still saw no one.
"Let's search separately and see if we find anything. First update @ "
After Wang Qi'an finished speaking, he found the general direction and ran towards the main hall.
"What the hell are Yama Luodian and White Fox Boy doing? Where have all the people been taken?"
Wang Qi'an walked quickly without seeing a single guard.
"There are obvious signs of fighting here..."
Wang Qi'an came out of the main hall and saw that the tables and chairs in the hall were tilted here and there, and the walls, pillars and floors were damaged in many places.
But there was no blood anywhere.
"Master Cheng, Master Cheng... something serious has happened... Come on, come on..."
Wang Qi'an moved quickly and ran towards the sound.
Hu Tielin and two of his subordinates gathered in the side courtyard on the left, looking confused and panicked, pointing to a room and saying:
"They...they are all inside..."
Wang Qi'an pushed open the door, only to smell a smell of fishy smell.
I saw a room full of corpses, stacked like a mountain, which was shocking.
"White Fox Boy...hum..."
Wang Qi'an felt his anger rising into the sky, and he couldn't help but slapped his palm, causing the wooden door to shatter and shake open.
"These are just the guards of the mansion, there are no city defense troops... Where are all the city defense troops?"
The four of them searched all over the garrison and found nothing unusual.
"I think that except for a large part of them who were taken away by General Liao, the rest are most likely like the soldiers at the dock. They have been possessed by evil spells and have been controlled by the white fox boy. It's just..."
Wang Qi'an organized his thoughts and began to think deeply.
"White Fox Boy...Jiuyou City...Yam Luo Palace...
What do they want to do?
You have captured Luchuan City, but you don’t send anyone to defend it?
Where are the missing city defense troops? Is he controlled by the white fox boy's blood curse?
The white fox boy failed to attack the dock, so where did he hide? "
Countless doubts swirled around Wang Qi'an's head. .
