After leaving Qingfeng Mountain, as soon as he stepped into the air and returned to the city, Xiao Simo keenly felt that the atmosphere in the city was not quite right.
There are many times more guards at the city gate than before, not to mention that even the streets are in an unprecedented depression, the gates are closed, and there are only patrolling guards on the streets. There are not many people, and some are old and weak sick and disabled.
"This time it's really the empty city that lives up to its name. It's empty, as if it's been swept away by devils. Lili, it's not like you took over the whole city, right?"
"Ghost devil? NiNi girl, it's almost sunset, let's hurry back to the palace as soon as possible."
Nan Xie looked at the empty streets, and recalled the legends that had been circulating in Konghui City these days, and she felt a little nervous in her heart, and urged Nihua to leave quickly.
"What's the matter? It's still a long time before the sun goes down. I still want to take a stroll. Once I enter the palace gate, I'm bored like a sea. I want to breathe the free air before I drown in the sea. Lili, Let's go for a walk, shall we?"
Ni Hua Yao stared at Xiao Simo eagerly.
"not good!"
"not good!"
The duet of Dongli and Nanxie caught their master's attention.
Talk about ghosts? When did Nanxie become so timid?
The rebellion of the Seven Kings is only a symptom, and it should be classified as a secret. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to catch the opportunity and move their families before the outbreak of war. So where does the weird atmosphere in the city come from?
Looking at Dongli's expression again, when Ni Huayao mentioned the ghost word, he seemed to be shocked for a moment. What could surprise them who had received special training?
The dark eyes burst into light, "Dongli, Nanxie, do you have something to hide from my highness?"
"Subordinates"
"explain."
It's not a particularly harsh tone, but a lowered tone is already a sign of the owner's displeasure.
"It's alsonot a big deal."
Nanxie looked at his partner Dongli begging for help, and the latter looked away flickeringly.
Huh, what a doomed fellow!
"Go, go, folks, the man-eating white-haired monster is coming again."
An old man with a gray beard was holding something like a medicine bag in his hand, shouting at the top of his voice while running.
After hearing this, the passers-by on the street ran in panic. It didn't take long for the empty street that Kitty knew two or three times to be completely booked by Nihuasha and four people.
"Why are you so courageous? The sun is about to set and you are all hurrying around the street. Go back, go back."
The old man saw that the big guys had gone home to take shelter, but the four young men who were still standing there didn't know what to do. run away.
"Wait, old man. We heard that the emperor was the most stable and prosperous honesty of the "Lihen" dynasty, and he specially came from his hometown to join his relatives in the imperial capital. I am not very familiar with this Konghui city. Can you and Let me tell you what happened to the white-haired monster, and what does it have to do with the setting sun?"
Before the old man turned into the alley, Ni Hua Yao called out to the old man at the intersection, and Xiao Simo came after him.
Dongli and Nanxie's hearts were pounding, and they stood in the middle of the street like logs, with only one thought in their minds, it's over!
"Maybe the girl really doesn't know?"
The old man lowered his voice and looked around, for fear that the white-haired monster would overhear his conversation and come and eat him.
"Do you know if we can still run? I just heard you say that there are some white-haired monsters who want to eat people! I was really scared when I heard that, so I asked you clearly. Otherwise, I will die in a foreign land for no reason, I I I just got married to my husband, and the doctor just told us a few days ago that I was three months pregnant, this If I died here for no reason, my husband and I will be fine, it's a pity The unborn child I"
With a choked voice, she climbed onto Xiao Simo's arm, Ni Huayao leaned shyly on his chest, her eyes were red, she took out her embroidered handkerchief, pressed her fingertips down on the corners of her eyes, as if she was about to cry.
Being able to tell lies so eloquently, fluently, and reasonably, the "husband" Xiao Simo has the desire to rub his temples, and he feels that his temples are a little sore.
"No wonderyouhey."
Seeing Ni Huayao's sour words, the old man immediately overshadowed his horror towards the monster with sympathy, stopped, and continued to lower his voice, "It's really not the right time for you to come, if some time ago, we would return to the city empty.?As the lady said, it is bustling and lively. But these days have come, and a white-haired monster came from nowhere, and it was going to enter the city to eat people after dark. In the city, several strong butchers, young men and women have been eaten by him. "
"Is this why there are more guards on the street, and there are no children, women, or young people on the street?"
Xiao Simo asked.
"Yes, yes. It's a pity that no matter how many guards there are, Hongmao, who is good at magic, can't help it. The strong men, children, girls, etc. in the city are still disappearing one after another."
Suddenly a sharp whistle sounded in the city, and the sun had sneaked into the twilight at some point.
The old man jumped up suddenly, "Young master, you should also take your wife to the relatives' house to escape. Avoid this night first, and go back to your hometown when the morning dawns. I have to go back to make medicine for my wife. Not much to say, farewell, farewell."
"Hey old man."
Nihua Yao also wanted to ask about the characteristics of the so-called monsters and where they usually appear, but the old man kept calling and never looked back.
"What happened? It looks like the soles of my feet have stepped on a steam wheel."
Run so fast. (So ??the meaning of speed, Nihua Shake's original combination of Chinese and Western styles, nondescript English.)
Looking at the back of the old man running away nimbly, Nihua thought to herself, how often she has been exercising in order to have such a peerless speed. The Jamaican sprinter Powell competed with the old man, so he had to cover his face and escape in shame.
"Let's go, maybe two people can tell us the answer."
Xiao Simo's eyes were full of unfathomable treachery, and Dongli and Nanxie in the middle of the street suddenly felt chills.
Hmmis it still summer? Is it too early for autumn? Winter is far away, right?
But a cold snap is coming.
At the end of the day, the gates of the city were closed, and the deserted streets were shrouded in a strange and cold atmosphere.
What made Dongli and Nanxie even more disturbed than the gloomy atmosphere was the expressionless face of the master who was slowly approaching them.
Although, it is still the same as before, with no temperature, nor an angry and indifferent face, this time I feel a little pressure for no reason.
"Your Highness, we"
It wasn't that they deliberately wanted to conceal the recent turmoil in the city, but the elders had ordered that His Highness should not be distracted by other trivial matters before thinking of a good strategy to retreat the Seven Kings' soldiers.
"Shh ? ? ?"
There was a bloody smell in the air, Xiao Simo tapped his lips with his index finger, and quickly dodged to an alley at the corner of the street to hide his figure against the wall with Nihua Yao in his arms.
Dongli and Nanxie also hurriedly followed.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a shrill and ear-piercing scream sounded in the sky above Kong Hui City.
The guards with hunting dogs on the street quickly surrounded them, and the leader of the guards ordered, "The white-haired monster must have come out to hurt people again, chase after it!"
"yes!"
The guards scattered in pursuit with great efficiency.
The whole city is full of weird atmosphere. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
