Chapter 320 Weird Town
Since Huizhou encountered an enemy, the Ling family and his group left Huizhou and entered Jiangzhou. They encountered no obstacles along the way, which made everyone feel much more relaxed.
But it’s nothing strange to think about it. After the previous battle, the other thieves in Huizhou, except for the timely withdrawal of Yanwang Village in Yinyunling, all the other thieves suffered heavy losses. Several of them were even killed, so they naturally had no power to rob. On the Green Forest Road in Jiangzhou, the Zhuhua Gang was the dominant family. Since Du Shanzhu, the leader of the Zhuhua Gang, made a promise in person, the Jiangzhou territory was naturally safe and sound.
After traveling for more than a month, the Ling family and his party entered the territory of Yuezhou. As soon as they entered Yuezhou, a group of people from the Fuwei Escort Agency came to greet him. The leader was Ling Fang, the butler of the Ling Mansion. It turned out that Ling Zhennan was approaching Yuezhou and was about to arrive at the door of his house, so he informed his escort agency with a letter from Feige. Ling Fang also knew that the escorts that Ling Zhennan had taken this time had a great relationship, and the escort agency's general account happened to be nothing, so he personally led a group of people to greet him.
The reason why Ling Zhennan called so many people was not for safety reasons. With the three innate masters, Ling Muyun, Huang Rong and Mei Ruohua, they even had to be more insured than escorts from thousands of people, so there was no need to call more people.
However, Ling Zhennan considered that the destination of the escort they escort this time was Fuling County Fuwang Mansion, and the Fuwang Mansion was rich and powerful, if only three or five people simply escort the escort, they would probably be despised by the Fuwang Mansion, and even made the Fuwang Mansion think that their Fuwei Escort Agency did not do much work at all. Therefore, Ling Zhennan called more people in the escort agency, which seemed solemn, and it would be better to escort the escort to the door.
To put it bluntly, Ling Zhennan called people from the escort agency to pretend to behave.
After meeting Ling Fang and others, Ling Zhennan and others were relieved. They have now entered Yuezhou, and it can be said that they have arrived at their own place. The chance of another accident is extremely low. Moreover, Ling Fang has brought so many people this time, and with so many eyes to help stare at them, Ling Muyun and others have been holding their hearts a little relieved.
After rendezvousing with Ling Fang and others, Ling Zhennan and others headed to Fuling County together, preparing to send the escort to Fuwang Mansion first, and then return to the escort agency.
Because they are all natives from Yuezhou and have been traveling escorts all year round, they are very clear about the terrain of Yuezhou, so everyone is familiar with the roads. They know the mountains and roads, the roads are flat, where there are bandits, and where there are towns to rest. So they know the roads much easier and more comfortable than before.
This time, everyone walked for a day. In the evening, they came to a Zhendian named Panshan Town. Panshan Town is only a few hundred miles away from Fuling County, and is located in a key place for north-south transportation. Anyone who comes from the north must pass here if he wants to go to Fuling County.
Fuling County is the richest place in Yuezhou, with many merchants and the Fuwei Escort Agency has many escorts from Fuling County, so it is not unfamiliar with this path. I have calculated that it will take a break from Panshan Town at night. Then, after a few days of travel, you can reach Fuling County.
But as soon as they entered the town, everyone felt something was wrong, because it was not dark yet, but half of the figure in the town could not be seen. This was not the first time that everyone in Panshan Town has come, so they are very clear about the situation in Panshan Town. Panshan Town is located in a critical situation, and it is quite prosperous compared to other towns. In the past, this hour was the lively time. There were many pedestrians on the street, so how could it be as quiet as it is today?
Bai Erqi, who came with Ling Fang to meet Ling Muyun and others, said: "This is strange. Isn't Panshan Town quite lively in the past? Why is there no one now so early? Have you changed to bed early?"
Originally, Bai Er was just a stroll in the Fuwei Escort Agency. When he went out to escort, he was not afraid to express his opinions easily unless he was ordered, so as not to cause displeasure to others.
However, because Ling Muyun saw that he was quite well-behaved and was very happy to do things, and he was always serving him with his horse and was willing to give him some simple methods of breathing his internal skills, and passed on to him the sword technique of the Wuhu Broken Door Knife he learned when he was in the Deer Tripod World, which made him great progress in martial arts. From the original inequality to the level of fourth and fifth, he was promoted by Ling Zhennan to the head of the escort agency, and his words were much easier than before.
Ling Zhennan frowned slightly and said, "Let's find a hotel to stay in."
But everyone's expressions became more and more strange along the way, but they saw that each store had its door panels. Panshan Town said it was big or small, and there were one or two hundred shops, but at first glance it seemed like a dead town. It was clear that the afterglow had not yet ended, but the streets of Panshan Town were already like late at night.
Everyone turned around the street and saw a white cloth trick in front of an inn, with four big words "Rugui Inn" written on it, which was the inn that they used to stay. But the door was closed and there was no sound at all. Ling Muyun glanced at Bai Er, and Bai Er immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door with a wink.
Bai Er knocked on the door a few times, stopped for a while, and knocked a few more times. After a long time, no one answered the door and immediately shouted: "Shop, store owner, open the door, open the door quickly, a customer is coming. Is there anyone? Open the door quickly!"
Bai Erben was a whistleman who shouted horns, and his voice was very loud. In addition, he learned the method of breathing internal energy from Ling Muyun. After working hard for a while, he had achieved a little success and had more confidence and was able to go farther. In theory, even if he was separated by several yards, he should have heard it. However, no one in the inn agreed, and the situation was obviously very abrupt.
Seeing this, Bai Er held his ear on the door panel and heard it. The store was silent. He turned to Ling Zhennan and said, "The head of the escort, there seems to be no one in the store."
Ling Zhennan vaguely felt something was wrong. Seeing that the store was very new and the door panels were washed very clean, it was definitely not like closing the business, so he said, "Let's take a look, there is not only this inn in the town, but also another one."
After walking forward dozens of storefronts, there was another "peaceful inn". Bai Er consciously stepped forward to slap the door without anyone asking for instructions, but the situation was exactly the same as the first inn, and no one answered.
Seeing this, Huang Rong turned her head to Ling Muyun and said, "Brother Yun, let's go in and take a look."
Ling Muyun nodded: "Okay!"
The two of them immediately used their light skills and walked over the wall. They landed lightly in the yard. Huang Rongqing shouted: "Is there anyone in the store? Is there anyone there?"
No one answered, and the two walked into the living room side by side, and half of the figure could not be seen in the living room. Then when we went to the kitchen, stables, and guest rooms at the back, there was still no one. However, there was no dust on the table and chairs, and even the tea in a teapot on the table was still slightly warm. It was obvious that the person had just left for a while.
Seeing this scene, Ling Muyun and Huang Rong couldn't help but look at each other, and both were secretly alert. This situation was too abnormal. It was obvious that someone was making trouble in secret.
Huang Rong said: "Brother Yun, what do you think is going on?"
Ling Muyun said: "Let's go and open the door for my father and mother first, let everyone come in before talking about it."
After opening the door and letting Ling Zhennan and others come in, Ling Muyun and Huang Rong talked about the situation in the inn, and everyone was amazed. Ling Zhennan and other people in the world looked a little serious.
Wang Yue'e glanced at Ling Zhennan and asked, "Brother Nan, what should I do?"
Ling Zhennan pondered for a moment and ordered the escorts under his command, "You five people in a group, go to various parts of the town to find out why. Each group of two escorts and three escorts should not be separated. Whenever there is an enemy, they will blew the whistle as a trumpet."
Speaking of this, Ling Zhennan said to Ling Muyun and the others: "Yun'er, Rong'er, Brother Fang, Miss Mei, you guys are all fast, follow and take a look, so as not to make any mistakes."
This is because Ling Zhennan was in case, Ling Muyun and the other four had entered the innate realm, with quick body skills and outstanding strength. If there were enemies in ambush in the town, once the inspected bodyguards showed warnings, the four of them could quickly rush to help to avoid causing losses.
Ling Muyun and four others agreed with the escorts, and quickly left the inn and headed to the town.
For a moment, only Ling Zhennan and Wang Yue'e were left in the inn.
At first, when fashion heard the footsteps of the people outside, it became silent. The town of Panshan Town was so quiet that it was creepy that it was so quiet that people were silent. Even the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking was not heard at all. It was really unusual. Ling Zhennan and Wang Yue'e suddenly became worried again. Although they knew that there were four innate masters including Ling Muyun, and the chance of something happening was very small, they still couldn't help but worry.
Wang Yue'e said: "Brother Nan, let's go out and have a look."
"Okay." Ling Zhennan was also a little worried and nodded immediately to agree.
The two walked to the door and saw figures swaying in the northeast corner. Several people jumped into the house in the west, all of whom were sent to walk. Two figures were patrolling and wandering on the tiles of the roofs of the town. It was their son Ling Muyun and daughter-in-law Huang Rong. Then they felt a little relieved and returned to the store to wait.
After a while, a group of escorts made a lot of rewards, and then Ling Muyun and others also came back, saying that there was no one in the town. Bai Er said, "Stop talking about people, there is not even a single beast in the whole town. It's really weird."
Another older ward head said, "The head of the ward head, the people in the town have left for a short time. It seems that although they are in a hurry, they are not unprepared. Many families even have food to prepare for inadequate food, and most of the boxes in the room are opened, so everyone takes away all the valuable things."
When everyone finished telling the scene in the town, everyone fell into silence at the same time. Everyone felt a vague feeling that they seemed to be trapped in a carefully compiled conspiracy trap. (To be continued.
