Chapter 1115: Strange Border Town

Zhou Shiyue dismounted.

"Let's go in together."

The others also dismounted and entered the city.

Zhou Shiyue walked in front.

This time, after his talisman was ready, he discovered something first.

It seemed that the horse became closer to him.

So now he doesn't need to lead the horse at all, the horse can follow him by itself.

The guards also found it quite fresh.

However, at this moment their attention was not on the horses, but on the silence and darkness of the city.

"Although we already knew that the people in the city had already fled, there must be a few people left, right? The city is so small that even if there are only two or three households, you can see a little bit of weak light. And there must be soldiers guarding the city, and there must be a few lanterns or torches hanging in the city. How come there is no light at all now?"

Qinglin and the others found it very strange and couldn't help but ask while watching.

"It's really strange. No matter what, it shouldn't be this dark or this quiet."

"We haven't seen any soldiers so far. Have they stopped patrolling? Or are they all on the city walls?"

"When I received the message from General Qiu, I felt that something might have happened here."

Maybe it's because the city is too quiet now, so they dare not speak too loudly.

Zhou Shiyue whispered, "Be careful."

When Qinglin heard his words, he subconsciously covered his chest, where the talisman given by the princess was placed.

After touching the amulet, he asked Zhou Shiyue again, "Prince, after the spell broke out before, you should have used up all the amulets on your body. Did the princess draw a new amulet for you afterwards? Or do you have no amulets on you now?"

Zhou Shiyue glanced at him, and his eyes seemed to say that he was asking a nonsense question.

"You all have talismans, how could it be possible that I don't have any?"

In Lu Xiaoer's heart, his position must be much more important than Qinglin and the others, so after removing the talisman for him, he drew a new amulet for him.

But it was indeed a little too little. At that time, Lu Xiaoer said that he would draw one on him when he had free time again.

But I haven't had any free time since then.

But for Zhou Shiyue now, he feels that having a talisman is enough.

After crushing the black energy of the big ghost that even Madam Sheng Sanzi had failed to disperse with just one kick, Zhou Shiyue understood one thing: the golden light of merit on his body also had the power to remove filth.

But he himself didn't know how to use it.

There is no rush, just explore it slowly.

"What's the situation in the city? We won't leave for now. Let's go to the tower and take a look."

Zhou Shiyue drove towards the city wall.

Only when they reached the city wall did they see the fire.

It was brighter upstairs, and people could be seen.

The flags of the Qiu family army of the Great Zhou were still fluttering in the night wind.

Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that they are all on the city wall. I guess those soldiers outside are playing tricks again, so they can't take care of the city. After all, there is no one in the city now."

Through the description of Blue Shirt No. 9, they roughly knew what happened outside Yu Lan City.

I just wonder if the soldier who suddenly disappeared recently has been found?

Zhou Shiyue didn't stop and went straight up to the city wall.

"You guys wait here first."

Qinglin told all the soldiers to stay where they were, and he, along with several other palace guards, quickly caught up with Zhou Shiyue.

When Zhou Shiyue climbed up the city wall, he saw many soldiers defending the city lined up neatly and standing straight facing the outside of the city wall. It looked like they were guarding the border city diligently and conscientiously.

Zhou Shiyue glanced over and saw a face he had seen before. This person was Lao Yu.

Zhou Shiyue walked towards Lao Yu. When he reached him, he had already passed behind at least six or seven soldiers.

So he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Some people had already come up to the city wall, and he did not deliberately slow down his footsteps, but none of the soldiers moved, and no one turned around to look at him.

He paused for a moment, but still walked in front of Lao Yu.

"Old Yu." he called out.

Old Yu didn't move, nor did he turn his head.

Zhou Shiyue saw that something was wrong and reached out and gently placed his hand on Lao Yu's shoulder.

"Old Yu, are you okay?"

He said it again.

Old Yu turned around stiffly and mechanically and looked at him.

In fact, Zhou Shiyue was mentally prepared just now. So many people didn't notice him, and after hearing his footsteps, they didn't even react at all. He felt that if he just reached out and patted Lao Yu's shoulder, Lao Yu might not react.

But the result was unexpected, Old Yu actually reacted. And he immediately turned his head and looked at him.

Such a result made Zhou Shiyue stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong with you? What are you looking at? Where is General Qiu?"

Zhou Shiyue asked him questions.

Then he also looked outside the city wall.

There is a large open space outside.

It's dark now, and I can't see anything. The moonlight today is very hazy and light, but no one is in the mood to appreciate the moonlight, right?

There was clearly nothing there, and there was nothing like what Blue No. 9 had told them before: there would be many torches lit neatly outside the city.

Since there was nothing, why were all the soldiers on the city wall watching so seriously and intently?

Zhou Shiyue took a look at the situation outside, then turned to look at Lao Yu.

He realized that even after such a while, Old Yu still hadn't answered him.

Logically speaking, Lao Yu should recognize him.

But now Old Yu just stared at him blankly, without saying hello to him, bowing to him, or answering his question. He even showed no emotion when he saw him, no surprise, no shock, no joy, no panic, etc.

At this time, Qinglin, Qingxiao and others nearby also noticed something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, these people are acting so strangely. They don't even respond when you talk to them."

Zhou Shiyue took a step back and did not touch Lao Yu again.

He turned to the others and said, "Stay away and don't touch them."

The guards immediately stepped back.

Zhou Shiyue also ordered to find General Qiu first. Finding General Qiu is the most important thing now.

Everyone then searched for General Qiu on the city wall.

But even though they made such a big noise, the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall still didn't react.

The soldiers who had turned around after being touched by them turned their heads away stiffly again and continued to look outside the city wall with the same posture as before.
