"Young Palace Master, it's getting late, there is a small town in front of you. Will we rest somewhere tonight?"

Jiang Ji slowly opened his eyes and said casually: "Sister Yuexi, just arrange these things."

"Yes, the young palace lord."

Yuexi responded and said, "Everyone can hurry up and you can rest when you get to the town."

Many maids who were originally tired felt that their steps had become much lighter and their speed suddenly became a little faster.

But in a moment, the group entered the town.

The little loach suddenly said, "I feel something is wrong. Do you think this place seems too quiet?

Even if it was late and everyone was at home, there wouldn’t be any noise at all, right?”

Yuexi raised his right hand and signaled the others to stop, and then listened carefully, but there was no sound of human voices, not even the sound of chickens and dogs barking.

"Something is indeed wrong. You are here to protect the young palace master. I will look around with the little loach."

Jiang Ji had also come back to his senses from his martial arts study and reminded him: "Be careful and pay attention to your own safety."

"Don't worry, young palace master, we will be cautious."

After saying that, Yuexi took the little loach deep into the town to investigate.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

"Is there anyone? We want to borrow a stay, is there anyone?"

"Is anyone? I want to ask for a bowl of water."

The two of them called each other and walked around a dozen houses in a row, but they didn't react at all.

The two looked at each other, then either climbed over the wall or broke the door directly, and then found that there was no one in the houses.

Soon the two returned to Jiang Ji and informed Jiang Ji of all the found results.

"All have disappeared mysteriously? Will this town be hosting any events so they are not at home?"

Faced with Jiang Ji's guess, Yuexi explained: "That wouldn't even go to the livestock and poultry they raised together, right? There is definitely something wrong with this town."

The little loach beside him asked, "Sister Yuexi, what should we do now? Should we continue to live in this town tonight, or should we quickly pass through the town and rush to the next place to settle down?"

Xiao Niu has no experience in the world, and I don’t know what the situation is now and how to deal with it.

Yue Xi, who is much older, is quite calm. After all, she goes down the mountain more often than others. Not to mention that she is knowledgeable, she will not panic at least.

"Just bypass this town, Young Palace Master, what do you think?"

Jiang Ji smiled: "This is probably related to that Jiang Cheng again. All the people in a town disappeared. It's such a big deal. I want to go and see it.

Besides, we represent Xingyue Palace. If we take a detour just because of this, wouldn’t we lose the face of Xingyue Palace? Maybe we just want Jiang Cheng to say that.”

"What the young palace master said is that Yuexi is not considering it, so let's go deeper and take a look. If you don't find anything, you'll take a night off here tonight."

Yuexi said as she turned around, preparing to go along the way and continue to explore the situation in the town.

Jiang Ji's mouth rose slightly, and he had expected the reactions of Yuexi and others.

Just talking about the reputation of Xingyue Palace, for these maids who regard Xingyue Palace as their family, it is naturally easy to submit.

In fact, if Jiang Ji had direct orders, it would be fine, and Yue Xi and others would not say anything, but they would not know what they thought.

Maybe you will encounter danger later. It is best for people to keep their hearts consistent and not give others the opportunity to take advantage of.

Jiang Ji knew that there was danger, but he still wanted to stay here because the task given by the Lord of Wanyue was to make Jiang Cheng desperate and kill him again.

Therefore, Jiang Ji planned to resolve Jiang Cheng's methods one by one, so that he could feel the feeling of despair approaching a little bit.

It's like a cat playing with a mouse, and after you have enough fun, you can eat it in one bite.

The group was very fast and arrived at the center of the town in a short while.

“There is a bloody smell!”

Among the group, Jiang Ji had the highest martial arts skills and the sharpest five senses, so he discovered the problem first.

The others were on guard and then followed the smell of blood.

Not long after, they saw corpses all over the ground and dark red blood all over the ground, and the smell of blood was even more thrilling.

Yuexi frowned slightly and stepped forward to check the causes of these people's deaths.

"Young Palace Master, there are probably thousands of people here? Is the people in this town probably here? Is Jiang Cheng so cruel? Even the children and the old man don't let go!"

The little loach's hands trembled slightly and his abdomen churned, but he forced himself to endure it.

Among this group, he is the youngest, one year younger than Jiang Ji, and has never appeared in the Star Moon Palace several times, so he has never seen such a scene.

Jiang Ji got out of the sedan chair, then patted his shoulder and said, "If God destroys it, he will first make it crazy. Everyone should be careful. If he wants to deal with us, he will definitely not just disgust us like this."

"yes!"

Yuexi checked for a while and returned and said, "Young Palace Master, these people were killed by scimitars, and the people who did this are not ordinary people. The sword skills they used were exquisite. If I was not wrong, they should be the people of the Eighteen Riders of Heiyun."

"Eighteen Black Clouds? I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

Jiang Ji searched for his memory: "Is it the bandits who obeyed our Xingyue Palace's orders? How could they appear here? And they do such a thing?"

The Eighteen Black Clouds Cavalry were originally created by Eighteen people. Because all the members were black armor and black horses, they were like a black cloud when they ran, so they had this name.

More than ten years ago, they were subdued by the Lord of Wanyue Palace and have followed the orders of Xingyue Palace.

Yuexi tightened the sword in her hand and said, "I don't know why they appeared here either. I have a bad feeling."

Jiang Ji was not too nervous: "The soldiers came to block the water and soil, and the trouble has come."

As soon as he finished speaking, a team of people appeared from the end of the street opposite, and then seemed to have discovered an abnormality in the town and approached quickly.

Then a large group of vomited sounds, and a thin middle-aged man holding a long sheathed sword noticed Jiang Ji and others at the first time, with his figures like a big bird, rushing straight towards him.

He clasped his fists and bowed, "When Wang Quechen, the chief escort leader of the Weiyuan Escort Agency, I wonder if you know what happened here, how could such a tragedy happen?"

Jiang Ji raised his eyebrows, was surprised, and he didn't show his face: "We just arrived, and we don't know what happened."

Wang Quechen glanced at the people in Xingyue Palace, and saw that they were clean and their suspicion gradually dissipated.

Thousands of people, even if they don’t have much combat power, are not all ten people who can stay. Moreover, these people have obviously been dead for a while. If Jiang Ji and others killed so many people, it would be impossible for them to stay here.

At this moment, a shout came from behind him: "Be careful, these people were killed by the Eighteen Heiyun Cavalry, and the people in front of you are from Xingyue Palace!"
