Chapter 587 Changes in the Capital
Jiang Lin and his companions arrived at the gate of the capital by mistake, but, unusually, the gate was closed.
"Something happened."
They couldn't help but come to this conclusion.
Jiang Lin looked around. It was quiet and there was no sign of the bustling scene of the past.
"Anfeng, you stay here and keep an eye on them. I'll go in with Anliu to take a look." Jiang Lin made the decision immediately.
"Yes, master." An Feng nodded, then dismounted and tied up the people behind him together and put them under his nose.
Jiang Lin turned to Qin Xiangnuan, and before he could say anything, he heard Qin Xiangnuan say to him, "Go, I'll wait for you here."
"Okay." Jiang Lin's lips curled up slightly.
After turning around, Jiang Lin's expression immediately became tense.
After seeing this, Anliu also became extremely alert. The two looked at each other and nodded, then they jumped over the city wall together.
"Master, how come there is no one here?"
Anliu thought he would see corpses everywhere, but when he came up, he didn't see a single person.
"Be careful, don't take it lightly." Jiang Lin straightened the corners of his mouth, his eyes staring around like an eagle.
But even after they got down from the city wall, they still didn't see a single soldier guarding the city.
The streets were also deserted. There was no one on the street, the stalls were in a mess, and a few bloodstains could be seen here and there, making Jiang Lin and Anliu's steps lighter.
This place doesn't look like it has experienced a major disaster, but one can still imagine the chaos that has occurred.
"Let's go back and check." Jiang Lin searched everywhere but still didn't see anyone.
Now if you want to know what happened here, you have to find someone to ask first.
When Jiang Lin and his companions approached the mansion, they saw corpses on the road that they had never seen anywhere else. As they got closer to the mansion gate, they saw more and more people lying on the ground.
No one was left alive here. Jiang Lin saw that the door of the mansion was closed. Anliu frowned and asked Jiang Lin to wait here. He turned over and jumped into the yard to find out the situation.
As a result, when Anliu was about to fall from the sky, he felt a breath of death. He lowered his eyes and saw several weapons, each of which could take his life in an instant.
At this time, Jiang Lin outside the door also knew the fatal wounds of the people outside, and thought to himself that it was not good. Before he could stop it, he heard several panicked screams in the yard.
Jiang Lin didn't wait any longer and stood up and took the same path as Anliu.
The difference is that Jiang Lin did not feel the pressure of death.
This was because the undercurrent had occurred in advance, and Qin Feng and the others realized that they had hit the wrong person, so they were not on guard.
"How is it? Are you injured?" Jiang Lin saw several people gathered together, with Anliu lying on the ground in the middle.
"Master, it was so close! You almost couldn't see me." Anliu was thankful that he had been nimble enough to dodge the fatal blow. Now he only had some scratches on his body, which was a blessing.
"You came back early without telling me. When I saw clearly that it was an undercurrent just now, I was almost scared to death." Boss Jiang was still in shock. Fortunately, he was quick and deflected the direction of the weapon, otherwise the undercurrent would have been really dangerous.
"The incident happened suddenly. I thought I would be back in a few days, but who knew he would be like this now." Anliu stood up, brushed off the dirt and said.
"What exactly happened in the capital?" Anliu asked, "Wasn't everything stable before we left?"
"This happened suddenly. Let me explain it to you in detail." Jiang Lao San asked everyone to sit inside first and not stand here. The injury caused by the undercurrent was not serious, but it still needed to be treated.
"Where is my cousin?" Qin Feng turned around and asked as he turned back.
Jiang Lin closed his lips after hearing this, and then said to Qin Feng: "They are still waiting outside the city gate. I will bring them back. You go back first."
"I'll go with you." Qin Feng said as he followed Jiang Lin.
"No need, just stay here." Jiang Lin refused Qin Feng and quickly disappeared.
At this time, Qin Xiangnuan and the others outside the city were still safe and had not encountered any threatening situations, but when Jiang Lin left the city gate, he saw empty streets.
Only traces of a fight were left here.
"Nuannuan!" Jiang Lin was extremely panicked and shouted aimlessly, but he heard no response.
Jiang Lin's heart couldn't help but sink a little, but he soon changed from panic to calmness. He couldn't panic, at least after finding Qin Xiangnuan's whereabouts and safety, he couldn't lose his composure.
Following the traces left on the road, Jiang Lin found a place after a while. It was not far from the city gate, but a bit remote.
As he got closer, Jiang Lin could hear some sounds.
"Is there any hope for us to survive if we stay here?"
This is what the people guarding outside said.
Jiang Lin's eyes flashed. He was not sure about the people around him, but for those guarding here, Jiang Lin could cut off their lives.
At this moment, Jiang Lin heard another voice, "We'll have no way to survive if we leave. Don't you see that the capital is in chaos? People like us will be helpless no matter where we go. It's better to stay here and have a chance of survival."
"You're right." The man seemed convinced and nodded repeatedly.
Troubled times can take many forms and develop in many ways, but one thing that will never change is that there are always people who are floating in these troubled times, with no place to go. Even their existence and disappearance are not that important and can be abandoned at any time.
Jiang Lin didn't block their way in the end. He just knocked them out and found Qin Xiangnuan and An Feng.
"You should free An Feng first." Qin Xiangnuan was not surprised to see Jiang Lin, because she firmly believed that someone would come to rescue them.
Everything is fine with Qin Xiangnuan, but Anfeng is not doing well.
The injury to his left arm this time was more serious than that of the previous few days. Qin Xiangnuan was very angry about this. He had persevered for so many days and finally got through it, but now he was about to go back to the way he was before.
Jiang Lin stopped extending his hand towards Qin Xiangnuan upon hearing this. Seeing the serious look on Qin Xiangnuan's face, he immediately turned to the undercurrent.
"These bastards!" Qin Xiangnuan couldn't help but curse when Jiang Lin helped her untie him. After carefully checking An Feng's condition, she cursed even more fiercely.
"Miss Third, I'm fine." An Feng moved his left arm. He felt warm in his heart when Qin Xiangnuan was so worried about him, but he didn't want to make Qin Xiangnuan so angry.
"Don't talk." Qin Xiangnuan glared at him.
Then Qin Xiangnuan said to Jiang Lin, "It was Fan Zhengde. He took those people away."
Jiang Lin nodded and thought: "I can guess where he took people to."
Qin Xiangnuan also had a rough guess, but she didn't know the exact location. She thought the other party would not be able to leave there for a while.
