C584 snare

Sometimes, the more people didn't want something to happen, the more of a time it would pop up. Was it a true coincidence, or was it a joke made by the heavens?

Gongsun Zaitian's plan to travel alone was quickly ruined. The reason was because of the sudden appearance of the Su sisters and Zhao Yiyang, who was also a 'follower'.

Of course, Zhang San and Li Si both left Feng Ruiyi's side and followed Gongsun Ze Tian from behind. At the same time, they praised him, "We are the pavilion master's personal guards, the pavilion master is there, we are there!"

Well, Gongsun Zaitian had to admit that the spirits of the two of them had moved him.

Gongsun Zaitian, who had a stomach full of pent-up anger, obviously did not plan to continue holding it in. Hence, he vented all his anger onto Zhao Yiyang, who was on the side, who was slapping his head.

"Old Zhao!" Hadn't they already completed all the missions? Why don't you go back and report? "Why are you still hanging around?"

"..."

"Old Zhao!" It can't be that you have taken a fancy to some beauty and are unable to move, right? "

"..."

"Old Zhao!" Could it be that you're carrying us onto the two sisters? The legendary Duo Fei? "

"Pei, you shameless!" Zhao Yiyang couldn't bear it any longer, he didn't want to.

"That's right, my name is Rogue and my name is Shameless! You are very good at being an intelligence agent! Why don't you leave Surveillance Council and join my side?! I arranged for you and the Su sisters to fly together for three nights, what's wrong? "

"You ?" "You're bullying me!"

"The one bullying is you, why didn't you go back to report to Lei Sheng? Why didn't you go back to your Surveillance Council and follow us?"

"Isn't it because of the mysterious power that suddenly appeared? The headmaster ordered me to search with all my strength, and coincidentally, the two little sisters of the Su family said that the reason was because of a small and weak power, and I think that the two of them still have some methods and abilities in this generation. That's why they gathered with them and investigated the mysterious power's background and power."

Hearing Zhao Yiyang's explanation, Gongsun Ze Tian fell into a short silence. In his mind, the Su Family sisters were not philanthropists who had good intentions to help others, and probably wanted to borrow the Surveillance Council's power to investigate this mysterious power that had risen up. This way, they would think for the future of the Listening Rain Pavilion.

Although this idea was not bad, it was still a little too presumptuous. As for who exactly this power belonged to, although it was not clear, but Gongsun Ze Tian could guess that there was definitely a huge monster backing this power. Their investigations and deductions could only be carried out over a long period of time, and it was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

"Do you have any leads?" After a moment of pause, Gongsun Ze Tian suddenly asked with a serious expression.

"Yes, and no!"

"What do you mean?"

"A few days ago, we received news that there was a small town in the southeast that everyone had disappeared in one night." A few days ago, we received news that there was a small town in the southeast that everyone had disappeared in one night.

"What little town? How far is it?"

"It's not too far. We'll be able to reach it in about 70 to 80 miles!"

"Hm!" Then let's go and take a look together! " Gongsun Ze Tian looked at the direction that Zhao Yiyang was pointing, and it just so happened to be the direction that Gongsun Ze Tian was going. He did not go too far, and Gongsun Ze Tian's curiosity had been sparked.

? ?.

The distance of 80 miles was a constant distance for ordinary civilians, but for those with horses, it was nothing. They just felt nauseous after being jolted up and down by the horses.

In the evening, the group finally saw the outline of the town, so they sped up their horses and quickly entered the town.

This small town was not as wild and crude as the north, nor as luxurious and dignified as the Central Plains. However, it gave off a delicate and small feeling, with a bit of a southeastern wind.

He slowly urged the horse into the town. Other than the sound of their horses' hooves, the only other sounds that could be heard were the sound of the wind blowing and the rustling of the leaves. Not a single house in the town was lit, let alone the sound of the chickens and dogs barking.

This was rather abnormal. The town had just fallen into darkness, and the whole town was surrounded by green smoke. How could there not be any movement?

This situation only further confirmed one thing. This town had become an empty town, and it was no different from the information that Zhao Yiyang had obtained.

However, what caused the hundreds of families in the town to disappear in one night?

At the same time, they looked around vigilantly. For the sake of safety, Zhang Sanli took the lead, leading the group, followed by Gongsun Ze Tian and Zhao Yiyang, and the two Su sisters were at the center of the group. Because their cultivation was not considered high in the entire group, and they were both women, they were the ones who the entire group had to protect.

On the outer circle, there were people brought over by Zhang Sanli and the others, as well as the people Zhao Yiyang had brought over from Surveillance Council.

"Marshal, should we visit every house?" Zhao Yiyang asked. Although Gongsun Zaitian had left on his own, the imperial government had not removed him from the position, and Zhao Yiyang felt that there was nothing else suitable to use.

"Zhang San Li Si, bring a few people to the nearby houses and choose a clean house. We'll spend the night here!" Gongsun Zaitian nodded and instructed.

Zhang Sanli and the other three moved quickly. They made a few hand gestures and even spoke less. Then, they quickly disappeared into a nearby house.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, a loud whistle was heard. It was so sharp that in this quiet town, the whistling sound could be heard even more clearly.

Gongsun Ztian understood the meaning of the whistle. His expression changed as he urged his horse to gallop ahead. The Su sisters could also understand what he meant. Their expressions also changed as they urged their horses to follow him.

Zhao Yiyang was not a person from Listening Rain Pavilion, so he naturally did not understand what the whistle meant.

Not long after, Gongsun Ze Tian brought a group of people to the place where the whistles were coming from. Zhang San and Li Si were already there.

"What did you find?"

"Marshal, come take a look!"

Gongsun Ztian saw that their faces were also not too good. He quickly dismounted and walked to a well nearby the two of them. He leaned over and looked down. It was pitch-black and he couldn't see anything.

Just as Gongsun Ze Tian was about to order the ignition handle, a torch was handed over. Without even looking at the torch, Gongsun Ze Tian inserted it into the well. Under the dim light of the torch, Gongsun Ze Tian finally saw the inside of the well clearly.

All that could be seen were layers upon layers of corpses. From the corpses at the top, it could be seen that these people were not thrown into the well after death, but rather had their limbs tied up and thrown into the well.

This also meant that these people were actually drowned in the well water while being unable to move.

"How did you find out?" Gongsun Ze Tian gave the torch back, and discovered that the one giving it to him was Su Wanyue, he did not waste any more words with her, and only asked Zhang San Li and her.

"The marshal once taught us that if we come to a strange place, we have to check on the water sources and food, and then we have to escape." The marshal once told us that if we come to a strange place, we have to check on the water sources and food, and then we have to escape.

"But our men didn't get any water, so they just lit torches to check and found out!" Li Si explained.

"Are there any other wells in the town?" Have you checked? "

"Yes, there are a total of three wells used in the town, and all of them are filled with corpses of civilians!"

"Any other discoveries?"

"Yes, we have another discovery on the east side of the town!" "It's ?"

"Speak, why are you still hesitating!"

"Yes!" Our people reported that on the east side of the town, some poles were stuck in the ground. They were filled with the bodies of infants, from birth to the age of eleven or twelve! and has already been burnt to a crisp! "

"Ah, ah!" Two soft exclamations came from the two Su sisters. Before Gongsun Zaitian's fierce gaze could reach his eyes, the two of them hurriedly covered their mouths. However, the fear in their eyes could not be removed.

"A pole?" Corpses? It seems a little familiar! " Zhao Yiyang sighed with emotion.

"Where have you seen it?"

"It should be five years ago. During a big operation in our Surveillance Council, I personally brought people to follow carrier pigeons, to change horses without changing people, and to travel through the night. When we arrived at a certain city in the southeast, we discovered a communication stronghold where pigeons landed.

"So you're saying, it's related to that group of people as well?"

"It's pretty close!"

"But is such a small town worth it for them to make a big fuss over it? Aren't you afraid of angering your Surveillance Council? "

"Your subordinate isn't sure either!"

Gongsun Ze Tian's brows tightened up. If Zhao Yiyang's judgement was not wrong, then this power should have had an extremely close relationship with the force that he had crossed blows with several times.

But the question was, why were they slaughtering the people of the town? What good would that do them? Who was he looking for? Or should he find something valuable?

Or could it be that there was really a clue here? For the sake of destroying something, he was actually not afraid of the Heavens' wrath and actually did such a cruel and tyrannical thing?

What puzzled Gongsun Ztian the most was why would he choose to stay here. Although this place wasn't a strategic location, it was a road that connected the north and the south. Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a large town to exist in such a remote place.

"Must pass? "Not good!" Gongsun Ze Tian's face suddenly turned serious and subconsciously shouted out, "Not good!"

"Marshal, what happened?"

"There's no time to explain now. Inform everyone to retreat towards the north!"

"Why the north?"

"So there's no other way. I'm afraid the east or south of the town has been sealed off. I can only try to break out of the encirclement with my life on the north side!"

"Break out?" "Could it be?"

"That's right, we have fallen into someone else's trap and are now surrounded here!"

"..." Everyone was filled with fear and puzzlement when they heard Gongsun Zaitian's words. Until now, the entire town had been silent, so where did they get surrounded?
