Chapter 4276 The Little Sheep Who Strayed Into the Wolf's Den
Hearing Liu Bocheng's words, Ye Qingxuan, who was about to say something at the time, suddenly stopped, then stuck her head out of the window and glanced into the distance.
In an instant, under the shroud of the gray-black sky, a city with a decent scale came into Ye Qingxuan's eyes.
Unlike the ruins outside, which are all broken walls, this city is dilapidated, but at least it is relatively complete.
By observing the city that was getting closer and closer to him, Ye Qingxuan could vaguely feel the glory of the city.
It is hard to imagine what happened to such a once incomparably powerful empire to become what it is now.
With Liu Bocheng leading the way, the carriage they rode passed through the city gate unimpeded, heading for the palace located in the deepest part of the city.
During this period, Ye Qingxuan had been observing the outside through the window of the carriage.
The soldiers guarding outside the city gate were also wrapped in black metal armor, making it impossible to see their faces at all.
However, unlike Liu Bocheng, these black-armored soldiers had much simpler metal armor than Liu Bocheng.
The streets of the city have undoubtedly been specially cleaned. Although they are dilapidated, there is not much dirt to be seen. The carriages are obviously moving more smoothly than outside.
But what surprised Ye Qingxuan was that on such a spacious street, she could not see any resident at all...
She originally wanted to gain a better understanding of the situation here by observing the residents of the city, but now it is clear that she can give up this idea.
Of course, although there were no residents, there were quite a lot of heavily armed patrols patrolling back and forth on both sides of the street.
Along the way, Ye Qingxuan has encountered no less than ten patrols like this one.
Originally, Ye Qingxuan wanted to hold back and ask, but in the end she couldn't help it and asked her doubts.
In this regard, Liu Bocheng still calmly gave the answer...
"The situation in our country is relatively special. More citizens will come out after nightfall, and now it is daytime."
"Of course, there is a more important reason that my king issued an order, ordering all citizens to return to their respective residences and not to go out."
Having said that, although there was no obvious turning of his head, Ye Qingxuan could feel that Liu Bocheng's eyes swept over him, and then added a sentence unhurriedly.
"Because of your presence."
"Ah this."
Ye Qingxuan obviously didn't expect that this reason would fall on their heads.
"There have been no living creatures here for many years. The citizens who live in the city have soul power above those wandering spirits outside and have their own consciousness, but in the face of living creatures, it is impossible to guarantee that they will not lose control. Soldiers who are more tenacious can have a certain amount of self-control."
"Living thing……"
This word caused a slight change in Ye Qingxuan's expression.
In fact, she had already guessed it long ago.
And now, Liu Bocheng's words have undoubtedly allowed her to further confirm some of her conjectures.
What she sees now, including Liu Bocheng, is probably some ghosts and undead...
If you are afraid, you are not too afraid.
For her, the unknown is the most frightening thing.
Before she reunited with Luo Ji, she was in a bad state. She didn't know where she was, and she didn't know what the situation was now. During that time, she was the most uneasy.
But after meeting with Luo Ji, the whole situation was gradually brought under control, and her heart quickly calmed down, slowly returning to her normal state.
It's not like Ye Qingxuan hasn't seen ghosts and the like before. If we don't go further, I'll say that it's been good recently. In the first universe, isn't there a similar existence in the ghost clan's troops?
And just when Ye Qingxuan was thinking about it, Liu Bocheng's voice sounded again...
"As a matter of fact, even tough-willed soldiers may not be able to control them sometimes. The reason why a few of them can be safe along the way is because they are accompanied by them."
This time, Ye Qingxuan understood her situation very well.
You can think of these soldiers and even the citizens as hungry wolves who haven't tasted blood for many years, and they are a group of little sheep that have strayed into the wolf's den. Now, isn't the situation clear?
The reason why the hungry wolves below did not immediately slaughter them and tear them apart was purely because they were afraid of the existence of Liu Bocheng, a 'lead wolf'.
With Liu Bocheng, the 'head wolf', other hungry wolves have the heart but not the courage, but once Liu Bocheng is gone, it's hard to say.
Therefore, Liu Bocheng's remarks, while clearly telling Ye Qingxuan about their own situation, is also reminding them to stay honest and don't run around, otherwise their little lives will not be guaranteed. can keep it.
The carriage was fast, and accompanied by the rapidly receding buildings on both sides of the street, they were like a blue-green black ghost, passing through the urban area covered with large buildings, and arrived at the majestic palace at an astonishing speed. outside.
In the slightly old city, the palace that symbolizes the supreme power still maintains his majesty.
The car door opened, and Ye Qingxuan could clearly feel the moment she stepped out of the carriage, there were a lot of eyes around her, and all of a sudden they focused on her and Jessica.
Both she and Jessica are sensitive people, especially Jessica, who has received 'focus', she is not in good shape, and these apparently menacing gazes continue to interweave, eventually forming an invisible wave The pressure made her face turn pale all of a sudden.
Until the sound of the metal boots stepping on the floor tiles sounded...
At the moment when the voice sounded, all the sights focused on them disappeared without a trace.
It was Liu Bocheng who dismounted.
According to Liu Bocheng's strength, even if he is wearing a heavy metal armor, his steps can become extremely light.
At this time, it suddenly came, and there was no doubt that it was warning the palace guards around.
Invisibly, the anger he carried made the souls of the guards around him tremble violently.
The performance of these guards made him very dissatisfied!
Although Liu Bocheng also knew how tempting it was for them who hadn't seen a living creature for so many years, it was understandable and understandable, but he absolutely couldn't forgive him!
Because they are the imperial guards of the palace, to put it bluntly, their existence represents the face of the royal family of Gu Yue! Such a gaffe is equivalent to smearing their Majesty's face!
