In the middle of winter, even if the cold comes, there are shouts, cries, and all kinds of noises on the streets, one after another, continuous and full of people.
As evening approaches, people are still enthusiastic; it seems that the whole Qingyun City is singing and dancing!
"Sir, Qingyun City seems to have become more lively."
Putting down the car curtain, Nangong Qianrou looked at Ye Wushuang and said with a smile: "It seems that after the young master got rid of Jiang Zikuan and the others, Qingyun City changed a lot."
"That's natural."
Lin Ruo'er nodded and said: "Uncle Ye was granted the title of Marquis, and now Qingyun City has become an independent county and has become prosperous, which is natural."
Speaking of this, Lin Ruoer suddenly frowned, glanced out the window, and said doubtfully: "However, the level of excitement is a bit excessive; and, for some reason, I always feel like looking at these people
A little weird."
"eccentric?"
Nangong Qianrou raised her eyebrows, raised the curtains in confusion, and looked outside carefully.
Pedestrians are rushing on the road, vendors on both sides are attentive, restaurant guests are drinking freely, and waiters are busy. It looks like a peaceful scene, with nothing abnormal at all.
"It's quite normal. What's weird?"
Withdrawing her gaze, Nangong Qianrou looked at Lin Ruoer, confused.
"have no idea."
Lin Ruoer shook her head and whispered: "I just feel that there is something weird that I can't explain..."
"No way?"
Nangong Qianrou nodded, glanced at Ye Wushuang who was resting with his eyes closed, thought for a while and finally did not speak. Instead, he lifted the car curtain and shouted to Old Chen who was driving the car: "Old Chen, do you feel weird?
?”
Lin Ruoer has now condensed Xudan and entered the martial arts; her five senses are much stronger than hers, so she can naturally discover many things that she cannot.
As for Old Chen Tou, he was also a warrior in the First Realm, and his cultivation level was even more powerful than Lin Ruoer's. So she subconsciously asked about Old Chen Tou.
"It's not weird, it's just..."
Old Chen reined in his horse, looked around with squinted eyes, and murmured: "I don't know why, although it looks prosperous here, I feel a little lifeless."
lifeless?
Nangong Qianrou frowned, and her bright eyes became even more puzzled. Her eyes swept back and forth between Lin Ruoer and Lao Chentou, and finally focused on Ye Wushuang.
She didn't feel anything, but since both of them noticed something strange, it naturally made her suspicious.
Ye Wushuang's eyes suddenly opened, and he directly interrupted Nangong Qianrou, frowning and said: "Once Qingyun City becomes a county, it is unlikely that there will be much change in a short period of time; and it is already winter now.
, even if the streets are not deserted, they cannot be so lively."
"Secondly, look at these people carefully; whether they are pedestrians or vendors, although they seem to be enjoying themselves, each of them is repeating themselves. Pedestrians will walk on the street again every once in a while; vendors, every once in a while
After a while, the same shout will be shouted..."
"Especially those people in the restaurant. If you look carefully, although they seem to be drinking and feasting, in fact, the wine in the glass and the dishes on the table have never been reduced or changed from the beginning to the end!"
ah?
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Qianrou was startled, and she quickly leaned on the car window and looked at it again.
Sure enough, everything was as Ye Wushuang said. Although the streets seemed lively, in fact everyone was following step by step and repeating things, which seemed very mechanical.
It's as if everything in front of you is a deliberately staged false scene!
"Could it be an illusion?"
Lin Ruoer was the first to react, looked at Ye Wushuang, and guessed softly.
Ye Wushuang shook his head slightly and said: "It's not an illusion, these people are real."
As a former unparalleled sword emperor, his eyesight and perception are far superior to ordinary people; even if his cultivation level drops and his martial arts is rebuilt, it is almost impossible to deceive him with ordinary illusions.
At least, he can clearly sense that these people are alive!
"Old Chen is right. Although this place looks quite prosperous, there is a thick air of death lingering around it, making it seem lifeless."
Ye Wushuang spoke again and said slowly: "Moreover, if you smell carefully, can you smell any different smells in the air?"
Different smell?
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and immediately sniffed.
Nangong Qianrou's expression changed slightly, but she didn't notice anything strange.
Old Chen Tou and Lin Ruo'er suddenly looked solemn and shouted in unison: "The smell of blood?"
"good!"
Ye Wushuang nodded with satisfaction, but his eyes as he looked out the window gradually became sharper, and he said lightly: "The smell of blood, and the blood of many people, the smell of blood mixed together!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all three people changed slightly and their expressions became serious.
Qingyun City is the seat of the Ye family, and the Ye family is Ye Wushuang's inverse scale; at this moment, the smell of blood and the smell of death actually appeared here.
Obviously, Qingyun City at this moment is by no means as simple as it seems!
"Sir..."
"Old Chentou, go directly to Ye's house!"
Ye Wushuang was too lazy to say anything more, waved his hand, then closed his eyes and thought quietly.
Although the Qingyun City at this moment looked quite prosperous, it felt extremely strange to him; especially the looming deathly aura and the faint smell of blood floating in the air all revealed something strange.
He had noticed this since he entered Qingyun City; however, he had not pointed it out before. Firstly, he wanted to test Lin Ruoer and the others, and secondly, he had not found the source of the strangeness.
And now, since Lin Ruoer's perception has been tested, all that's left is to find the source.
After all, since changes have occurred in Qingyun City, there is a high probability that the Ye family will not be spared.
I just don’t know what’s going on with the Ye family now!
The carriage suddenly accelerated and ran wildly on Qingyun Avenue, scaring passers-by into panic and running away.
But even so, no one screamed or complained, and no one gave way completely; instead, as if out of instinct, they just dodged for a moment, then returned to their original state and continued walking.
After a while, a large and simple mansion came into view.
Old Chen stopped his horse and stopped in front of Ye's house.
"Sir, we're here!"
Old Chentou jumped off the carriage and shouted respectfully.
"Um!"
Ye Wushuang responded and immediately stepped out of the car.
But as soon as the three of them got off the carriage, the closed door of the Ye family suddenly opened.
Immediately afterwards, nearly a hundred figures swarmed out with hula la la; the leader, a middle-aged man, strode over with a happy face.
"Haha, Wushuang, you are finally back!"
"Third uncle?"
Seeing the person coming, a smile suddenly appeared on Ye Wushuang's stern face.
The middle-aged man who came over was none other than the third elder of the Ye family, Ye Wenxi!
