C927 Gloomy 927

Thinking like this, she looked at Xia Tao Hua, and then turned to look at Yan Yuan. She was still thinking of persuading Yan Yuan not to take the risk, but Yan Yuan seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and before she could say anything, he had already cut her off, "Xia Tao Hua must follow."

The words Liu Ruo Qing hadn't even reached her mouth with, yet she had choked back with a single sentence from Yan Yuan, not even giving her the chance to speak.

Seeing the unwavering determination in Yan Yuan's eyes, she opened his mouth, but did not say anything more.

However, Xia Tao Hua, who was at the side, knew what Yan Yuan was thinking. Seeing Liu Ruo Qing think about him many times, he felt grateful in her heart, but felt that this person was too stupid.

But when they thought about it again, since Bull Guard was a man, no one would think that Yan Yuan would fall for a man.

Xia Tao Hua laughed lightly in his heart and said to Liu Ruo Qing: "Bull Guard, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

Since even Xia Tao Hua had said it like that, Liu Ruo Qing naturally would not say anymore and nodded.

The streets of the city reeked of blood. As the few of them descended from the city walls, the smell of blood assaulted their nostrils, causing them to feel nauseous.

The shops and houses on both sides of the street were tightly shut, so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.

"Boom …"

Just as they passed by a room at the side, the sound of bottles hitting the floor came from inside. The few of them stopped in their tracks.

Yan Yuan signalled with his eyes for Qi Feng to come forward. Qi Feng accepted the order and carefully pushed open the door, a blinding light shone through, shocking the people inside and making them scream out instinctively.

After getting used to the light inside, Yan Yuan and the others walked up and saw an old man who was trembling with fear kneeling on the ground. He looked at them with a face full of fear.

Liu Ruo Qing walked forward, squatted down in front of the old man, and felt the old man's body.

"Old man, don't be afraid. We aren't those monsters, we were sent by the emperor to kill those monsters."

Liu Ruo Qing tried to speak in a gentle tone with the old man. When she saw that the old man had heard the word "monster", his body trembled even more violently.

But after hearing Liu Ruo Qing say that she was sent by the Emperor to kill those monsters, her pair of muddy yet fearsome eyes revealed a glimmer of hope.

His body was still curled up, but he still looked at Liu Ruo Qing and the group of people in front of him. Can you really catch those monsters? "They are too terrifying, they can tear a person apart with their bare hands …"

At the mention of this, the old man's voice began to tremble.

"Mm, don't worry. In a few days, the soldiers of the imperial government will arrive. When that happens, the monsters in the city won't be able to survive."

Liu Ruo Qing comforted him gently, but seeing the fear in the old man's eyes eased up slightly.

The old man looked at Liu Ruo Qing's face, then looked at the other people in the room, all of them extremely good-looking, and just by looking at their appearances, the old man knew that they were good people.

Whether or not they could kill monsters, at least they had reduced the fear in his heart.

"Old man, get up first and tell us about the situation in this city."

Liu Ruo Qing helped the old man up and sat him down on a stool at the side.

The old man let out a long sigh and said, "Those monsters entered through the city gates that day. A lot of people died before they could react …"

He glanced at Liu Ruo Qing before continuing, "At that time, I was just about to take my grandson out to play. When I saw the scene at that time, I was so scared that I couldn't move, and could only watch as those monsters tore apart the people in the city one by one …"

"At the beginning, the yamen sent out some soldiers, but after many of them died at the hands of those monsters, no soldiers came out. At the beginning, the yamen sent some officers out, and after many of them died at the hands of those monsters, no soldiers came out anymore.

"We've been hiding in there for a few days now. My grandson was starving, so I decided to go out and find him something to eat …"

The old man started talking, his eyes filled with fear. After he finished, he looked at the people in front of him and asked Liu Ruo Qing: "Young lad, those monsters are really scary, can you really kill them?"

Seeing that these people looked so gentle, the old man really didn't dare to trust them completely.

Liu Ruo Qing looked at the old man's suspicious eyes and could not help but laugh, "Don't worry, we have a way to deal with them."

After saying his piece, Liu Ruo Qing paused for a while, and asked: "Do you still remember how many monsters appeared that day?"

"Three."

"Three? "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" That kind of thing, is something that I will never forget for the rest of my life. "

The old man said solemnly.

Liu Ruo Qing thought for a moment, then asked: "Then when those monsters were killing people, did you hear any movements?"

The old man frowned and thought for a while. Then he said, "I seem to have heard some tune. That tune was very strange. I didn't remember it. At that time, I thought it sounded creepy."

"Music?"

The old man nodded. "Yes, the song sounds eerie and scary."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded silently and did not ask anymore questions. She looked to be deep in thought.

After a long while, he heard Yan Yuan's voice sound out beside her, "Have you thought of something?"

Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head, and said: "Ye Man should not have many monsters on his hands, or it could be said that he does not have many Gu worms on his hands, at least for now, he does not have many."

"What do you mean?"

"The nurturing of Gu worms is not easy, if he has enough Gu worms on him, he doesn't need to work with the people from Nanling, he must also send people to kill me. He should be clear that I can scare away a few monsters by myself, but tens of thousands of monsters might not be enough to scare them away."

She raised her eyes to look at Yan Yuan, and said: "Which is to say, besides attracting the attention of the imperial government, it also allowed these monsters to kill people in the Huiyang City, in order to pry into the methods in front of the imperial government. It also has another reason, which is probably to lure me here."

"The reason why he kept the Gu worms in his possession was to deal with the imperial army."

Liu Ruo Qing smiled and raised an eyebrow at Yan Yuan. "Just like those at the Grand Preceptor's estate."

Yan Yuan immediately understood what Liu Ruo Qing meant, and said: "This is why Ye Man did not use those parasites immediately when they are already in the Jindu. It's because he has yet to understand the situation in the capital, so if he fails to use them, he will not have any extra parasites on him."
