Chapter 135 Empty City



Chen Li knew that Pei Yu could hear it, and she never thought that she could hide it from him. After all, his internal strength was not something to be trifled with.

It's just that this person is quite smart and he doesn't choose to expose many things. The two of them, one pretending to be deaf and the other pretending to be dumb, seem quite harmonious at first glance.

Everyone discussed other things and then dispersed. Tonight, Shen Li and Lin Zhuo would keep watch together. Everything was normal.

In the middle of the night, her cousin was already dozing off, and she suddenly saw a group of men in black running towards her at high speed not far away. She raised her hand and immediately put her cousin into a deep sleep.

"Master Wei, didn't you say that you hid your whereabouts very well?"

"Also, this man is getting closer, where are your men?"

Chen Li looked over the wall at Wei Zian standing in the yard and asked a series of questions.

Her tone was not very good, but Pei Yu did not show any anger on his face. People with ability would always be treated preferentially by him.

"Don't worry, I promised you that I won't break my promise. Someone will lead them somewhere else and then deal with it."

Chen Li looked at his confident expression and investigated again, and found that it was just as he said. The group of people suddenly changed direction and went into the dead woods next to them.

I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed for a moment. Was I too aggressive just now?

When Pei Yu saw her expression, he knew that she had sensed it, and he was once again amazed at her unique ability.

"I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now. I just wanted to confirm with you, are your whereabouts really not exposed?"

Pei Yu shook his head. "It's okay. Your whole family is here, so it's right to be cautious. My whereabouts haven't been exposed. Perhaps these people just stumbled upon me by mistake."

Chen Li looked at him sideways, this was not like what he could say before, when this man was rescued by her, he spoke very little, but now he talks more.

However, since he said so, let's believe him this time. However, if something like this happens a few more times in the future, it can only be said that neither of them is stupid.

"Okay then, you should take a rest. I'll go back first."

After saying that, he took a running start and jumped onto the wall, then flipped down neatly.

After she left, Tianqing came out of the room and asked, "Has the letter been delivered?"

Tianqing already knew Pei Yu very well to a certain extent, otherwise he would not have stayed by his side, so he knew what he wanted to ask right away.

"The letter has been delivered, and the secret manual should be on the way."

In fact, he hadn't received the letter yet, but he estimated that the time was about right, and his master wouldn't want to hear words like "I don't know, I'm not sure".

Pei Yu walked into the room with his hands tied, and said indifferently, "Well, go and get rid of the person. Don't leave any traces."

"yes."

Chen Li returned to the yard and looked at her cousin who was sleeping against the earthen wall. She touched her nose and used a little mental power to wake him up.

Lin Zhuo opened his eyes and looked at his cousin beside him, "Ali, was I asleep just now?"

He remembered that when he was on guard duty before, although he was very sleepy, he did not fall asleep. Why did he fall asleep this time?

Leaving Ali alone to keep watch at night, what a shame!

Chen Li blinked, picked up the bag beside her, and lent him a piece of dried meat. "Well, cousin, you just took a nap, you can sleep soon, someone will take our place soon."

Anyway, my cousin didn’t know what happened just now, and he was indeed about to fall asleep.

Lin Zhuo took the dried meat and was no longer confused. After a while, someone came to take over the shift.

When I wake up, it is still dark, but it will be dawn soon. I get up at this time almost every day, and I have formed a punctual biological clock.

It's not just Chen Li, many people in the team already have a biological clock and wake up on time, so there's no need to worry at all.

As soon as Lu Jing woke up, he took his sister to make a fire and cook. In the past, his sister might not have used or been exposed to these things, but now she has to learn a little bit of everything so that when she encounters danger again, she will have ways to save herself.

He had already made up his mind that even if he returned to the Lu family in the future, he would not let his sister Lu Nian be a rich lady who never left the house.

Chen Li got up and found that there was no one in the room. She took out a wet towel and covered her face, which instantly made her feel much cooler.

Li Qiaolan's injury has almost healed, and she has returned to her carriage long ago. The wound on Liu Degui's back has also scabbed over. The two of them have the most serious injuries, but even if they hurry now, their wounds will not split.

After a simple breakfast, the team slowly drove out of the village and sped up after getting on the official road.

Chen Li knew that when Tianqing went out last night, there was still a faint smell of blood on his body when he came back.

As evening approached, the team approached a county town. A plaque hanging on the city gate read "Pinghe County".

However, at this moment the city gates were wide open and the city was very quiet. Looking from here, one could see a layer of mist lingering in the city, as if it were a silent dead city.

There were also refugees who came into the city with their families, hoping to find something to eat.

"Dad, let's not go into the city. Let's find a place to camp outside the city."

Chen Li dismounted and came to Shen Changshan's side. There was something strange in the city. Chi Yan became anxious as soon as he approached the city.

Upon closer inspection, not only Chiyan, but even the other animals were a little anxious, but none of them were as smart as Chiyan, so it was not very obvious.

"Do we have to go through Pinghe County?"

Shen Changshan had already gone to arrange the camping. Pei Yu walked to Shen Li's side. He was wearing a white round-necked, narrow-sleeved robe today, with auspicious patterns of black bamboo embroidered on the hem. This outfit made him look like a jade-like young man.

"We can save two days of travel by passing through here."

Um?

Pointing towards the city, he said, "But, as you can see, this is a bit... strange!"

Pei Yu held a white jade fan in his hand. He closed it and looked at her sideways, tapping the fan lightly in his palm. "Are you still afraid of this?"

Chen Li shook her head. "That's not the case. I have a family to support, unlike you, Master Wei, who are all alone. If anything happens inside, won't we all be wiped out?"

Pei Yu chuckled, "How about we two go in and take a look first?"

"OK."

The fog in this city looks very strange. The team should not go in until it is safe.

As Chen Li spoke, his mental power probed into the city, and after looking for ten miles, he saw the same thing as he saw outside: empty.

The people in the city seemed to be evacuating in a hurry. Some tables still had dishes and chopsticks on them, which were now not only covered with mold, but also filled with dust.

But why did the people in this city evacuate in such a hurry?

What situation could make them evacuate so anxiously?
