"In this Yingyang country, how can there be any living people?"

As soon as the shopkeeper's words came out, a gust of cold wind blew in, forcing Shen Tingyun to shiver.

The city gate, which was too quiet, looked extraordinarily weird. Shen Tingyun looked in the direction of the guard closest to where he was sitting, and suddenly found that the guard's face was ashen, and his steps were stiff and slow when patrolling. As a living person should look.

"But I have to go in." Shen Tingyun said.Ying Yang has become deformed and terrifying in the hands of its ruler, and has begun to threaten the subjects of Da Lu, Shen Tingyun must prevent more people from being forced to become walking dead.

"Even if you have unparalleled skills, don't forget one thing. How can the living fight against the dead? Ying Yang has locked the country for more than a month, in order to prevent the people who have not yet turned into corpses from escaping, and they are afraid of being noticed by the surrounding area. These guards The living corpse has accepted the order, and they can only be released if they see the pass." When the shopkeeper mentioned the pass, he deliberately emphasized a lot.

Shen Tingyun understood what the shopkeeper meant, tapped the edge of the table with his fingertips, and asked how he could bring himself in.

The shopkeeper laughed twice, and said that the young master is a cool person, and he likes to deal with the cool people the most.

"Although most of Yingyang is dead, there are still living people. If there are living people, they need supplies." Yingyang is a small country protected by Dalu, and it is humid and mountainous. It can only guarantee the most basic self-sufficiency. , Ordinary people can bear it, but those pampered princes and nobles can't bear it, so every once in a while, there will be caravans going to the capital to deliver supplies.

As long as Shen Tingyun's money is in place, he will definitely be able to sneak in.

According to the price given by the shopkeeper, Shen Tingyun threw a few bank notes to the other party. The shopkeeper accepted the bank notes with a smile and told him that there was a caravan coming in the next day. Shen Tingyun was waiting at the inn, and he must find a way Bring people in.

Shen Tingyun knew that there was no rush, so he opened a room in the inn and stayed.

The host of the Gu king who can control living corpses must be in a high position. Since this caravan is delivering goods to the royal family, he can take the opportunity to sneak into the palace and find the host.

Two days later, the ox cart carrying the goods arrived as scheduled.

The shopkeeper introduced Shen Tingyun to the leader of the caravan. Obviously, it was not the first time for the leader to bring someone in, so he explained to Shen Tingyun the first time they met.

"There are basically no living people here now. Our group is responsible for sending the goods into the palace. You can follow them as long as you want, but we can't protect ourselves in it, let alone protect you. Once you go in, you have to Rely on yourself, hide some soldiers, if you don't have a pass, you will have to be locked up and turned into a living corpse if you are caught."

Shen Tingyun nodded and asked when he would go in.

The team leader waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it tomorrow morning. Today is the fifteenth day. Our pavilion master can't do anything at night, so we can only wait for tomorrow."

Shen Tingyun was puzzled, thinking who is this pavilion master?Why are the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year still picking a date, and can't go to the city tonight?

But Shen Tingyun didn't ask much.The caravan that was able to deliver goods to the Yingyang royal family and escape in Yingyang City must have a lot of background behind it. The more you know, the faster you die.

At night, the caravan went to bed early, and the inn regained a moment of tranquility.

The moon is full tonight, and the originally ink-like night is much brighter than usual. Before nightfall, the team leader told me that the caravan will enter the city at dawn tomorrow. Shen Tingyun had better go to bed as soon as possible today, and don’t come out and walk around at night, so as not to disturb Let others rest.

This instruction was a bit of a cover-up, as if it was warning Shen Tingyun that it was best to stay in the house honestly tonight and not come out.Shen Tingyun watched the night in the house for a while, and then prepared to fall asleep.

Before his head touched the wooden pillow, he heard a piercing moan coming from a room not far away.

Although the voice was brutal, it was quite weak. The owner of the voice was obviously trying his best to suppress his groaning, but Shen Tingyun practiced martial arts and had good hearing, so the voice suppressed by all his strength reached his ears smoothly.

He pushed the door and went out without much thought. The inn had already turned off the lights, and the corridor was dark, which was even more strange under the background of the sound.

The strangest thing was that tonight the inn was full of people from the caravan, but every room was closed and no one came out to check the situation.

... Are they used to it, or is it only you who can hear this voice?Or is there some ulterior secret?

Shen Tingyun remembered the warning-like instructions of the team leader at night, which further aroused his desire to find out the truth.He searched for the sound, and finally stopped outside a room.The sound came from this room.

Then Shen Tingyun cut a small hole in the window and glanced inside.

The moonlight was very bright, and Shen Tingyun's eyes had adapted to the darkness, and he could vaguely see a person on the floor of the room, and he should be a man.

The man's hair was disheveled, his clothes were loose, and his upper body was uncovered. When the man was kneeling on the ground, Shen Tingyun could see his beautiful scapula through the moonlight.

But the man's current appearance is not close to being good-looking. He is like a wounded beast, hugging his right arm, and growling continuously in his throat.He was trying his best not to let his voice come out, but the pain at this moment could not be restrained at will.

Shen Tingyun couldn't see the man's face, but he could imagine the man's facial features deformed by the pain.

"Who's there?!" The man suddenly turned his head, his eyes fixed on the window, and he managed to utter angry words in the agony, "Did I say that no matter what you hear tonight, you are not allowed to step out of the window?" The door is half a step?! Tomorrow morning, you go back to the building to receive the punishment."

The man's long hair blocked his face, but Shen Tingyun thought for no reason that such a person should be a beauty.

"Don't talk, do you?" The man's voice was not loud, but full of coercion.But Shen Tingyun has been with you for many years and has met all kinds of people, so he didn't feel a little fear because of it.

He said: "I am not a member of your caravan, but I just need to enter Yingyang, so I have to go with you."

Shen Tingyun suddenly found that as soon as he said the words, the man's breathing became a little quicker, and he even leaned a little in his direction.

What's wrong with your own voice?

"You... what's your name?" The man suddenly asked.

Shen Tingyun is no longer the fool he was many years ago. Facing the unknown man in front of him, he would never say a word about himself.

He asked back: "Then who are you? Before asking someone's name, isn't it more polite to declare your family name first?"

The man was obviously stunned for a moment, his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but what he hadn't said was replaced by a low growl, and the pain in his flesh and blood caused the man to fall directly to the ground.

After a long time, he staggered up from the ground.The sky was covered by dark clouds and the night suddenly became dark, the pain on the pavilion master's body eased a lot, he put on his clothes, sat at the table and said: "I am the pavilion master of the Heiyun Pavilion in Tingyu Tower. "

Tingyulou is a rivers and lakes organization that sells information.They opened up shops in the rivers and lakes, and there are people from Tingyulou in all towns and cities in Dalu, so the sources of news are very well-informed.

When Ji Minggui wanted Qi Junlang's whereabouts, he also bought information from Tingyulou.

Shen Tingyun obviously did not expect that this group of caravans would be people from Tingyulou.

"I'm just a gangster in the rivers and lakes, far less powerful than the pavilion master." Shen Tingyun said.

"Then please come in and talk about it." The pavilion master lit the candlestick on the table while speaking, and in the dim night, Shen Tingyun saw the face that he dared not even dream about.
