C12 Courtyard

Although Luo Yang temporarily suppressed the unease in his heart, over the next few days, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. Luo Yang had just repelled a wave of attack from the yellow-robed soldiers. However, he gloomily looked at the yellow-robed soldiers who had returned to the barracks. He didn't utter a single word, but he had confused the left and right defending soldiers.

Seeing this situation, Huang Zhong could not bear to continue watching. He quickly pulled Luo Yang aside and asked: "Zihui, what's wrong with you these few days? Why is his face always so stern? "The soldiers are all panicking now because of you!"

Luo Yang said with a bitter face: "General Huang! I don't want to either! But these few days, I feel more and more that this bandit is plotting something! But I just can't understand, this kind of feeling is too depressing, it's too hard to bear! "

Huang Zhong, on the other hand, didn't care and said with a smile: "My apologies! In my opinion, you're just too easy! Even if that bandit has a conspiracy, we just have to deal with it! Yet, you have to suffer here! It's really asking for trouble! "

Luo Yang could only bitterly smile in response to Huang Zhong's ridicule. He didn't know how to explain it to Huang Zhong. Because of his existence, Nanyang City hadn't suffered any damage from the yellow-robed soldiers. Other than the large number of people, Huang Zhong's impression of the yellow-robed soldiers didn't think they were that powerful. That was why he was so disdainful of Luo Yang's worries. However, even if Huang Zhong wasn't worried, it didn't mean that Luoyang wasn't. Raising his head and looking at the sky, he saw that the sun was already setting. He could only say: "Maybe it's because I haven't had a good rest during this time. General Huang! I'll take a walk around the city from the top of the city walls and take this as a break! "

Huang Zhong didn't care much about Luo Yang's explanation. Instead, he smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Enough! Let me see! Why don't you go home and get some sleep? As for here, you can leave it to me! "With me here, there won't be any problems!"

Nodding his head, Luo Yang knew that the Yellow Gown Army didn't engage in any night battles these few days, so it didn't matter much if Huang Zhong was left alone at the City Head. Moreover, Huang Zhong had been much more honest during this period of time. Even without his persuasion, he never said that he would go out of the city to fight. He then cupped his fists towards Huang Zhong and left the city.

After getting off the city walls, Luo Yang didn't follow Huang Zhong's instructions and went straight home to rest. Instead, he started strolling around the city with his long spear. In the past month, Luo Yang had spent almost all of his time in the city among the corpses. All he saw was blood, and all he smelled was a pungent smell. Now that he smelt this fresh air in the city, he felt so comfortable that he almost flew up.

"Lord Luo!" "Master Luo!"

Along the way, Lou Yang also met many officers and soldiers who were responsible for patrolling. These soldiers were obviously not regular soldiers, and could not even be counted as new recruits. In the future generations, they would be community policemen. However, these soldiers had more authority than the civilian police of the future. Putting everything else aside, just a large shining blade in their hands was enough to intimidate the common people. Of course, these soldiers also recognized the hot and popular Luo Yang in Nanyang City. When they saw him, they all greeted him.

Luo Yang did not put on airs and only nodded his head in response. He waved his hand again and called one of the soldiers to his side. When he saw Luo Yang calling him, the officer immediately ran over with a fart. When he looked at his comrades beside him, there was a trace of complacency on his face. When he arrived in front of Luo Yang, the officer immediately bowed and said, "This lowly one greets Lord Luo!"

Luo Yang waved his hand, gesturing for him to stand up and speak. Then, he smiled and asked: "How is it? There's nothing abnormal in the city, right? "

Although the officer looked a bit frivolous, he still had the manners of a soldier. He straightened his back and shouted: "Reporting to Lord Luo! This little one has been on a tour of the city for a whole day, and I haven't found anything abnormal yet! "

As long as there was nothing abnormal! Luo Yang heaved a sigh of relief before nodding and said, "Then, thank you for your hard work! However, you must ensure that there is no trouble within the city. If there is any exception, inform County Governor Manor and the city walls immediately.

"Here!" That soldier immediately shouted out loudly. To be able to receive the mission personally issued by Luo Yang, he felt proud! After bidding farewell to Luo Yang and returning to his own team, the soldier felt envious of his comrades and became even more pleased with himself.

Luo Yang didn't bother to deal with the matters between the soldiers. Instead, he turned around and continued to wander around the city. Nanyang City could be considered to be one of the big cities in the south. Although Luo Yang had visited every corner of the city, he had spent more than two hours. Staring at the nearby western gate, they saw that there were nearly a hundred soldiers standing guard there as well. Although the Yellow Gown Army had been attacking the east city gate, Luo Yang and Huang Zhong did not dare to relax at the other three city gates. Especially a few days ago, when Luo Yang thought of that wooden frame to increase the defense of the city walls, he immediately installed a wooden frame on the other three sides of the city walls.

Needless to say, after walking around the city, Luo Yang's boredom had lessened quite a bit. At the very least, the uneasiness in his heart had dissipated by quite a bit. Luo Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Was it really because he didn't rest well during this period, or was it because he stayed in that kind of environment for too long? When he was in the future, although he had spent quite a bit of time in harsh environments for missions, he had never stayed as long as he did for more than a month.

Immediately, Luo Yang smacked both sides of his face. The slight pain made his mind feel much better, and after taking a deep breath, he said to himself, "Good! Don't worry about it! Concentrate on killing the enemy! " After saying that, Luo Yang turned around and walked towards the east city gate. Although Huang Zhong said he would give the city wall to him tonight, Luo Yang felt a little sorry and decided to go back to the city and help.

"Ah!" Luo Yang had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a soft cry. He immediately froze in his tracks. The sound was not loud, but due to the siege of the Yellow Gown Army, the citizens of the city had rested early. Therefore, although it was not the dead of night yet, the city was already very quiet. To Luo Yang, that scream seemed especially miserable, as if it contained too much unwillingness and fear.

The reason why Luo Yang noticed this cry was because of the unease that had been lingering in his heart for the past few days. At this moment, a feeling of unease suddenly welled up in his heart. Luo Yang frowned and turned his head to look in the direction of the scream. Although the scream was extremely short, Luo Yang had received strict training back then, so he was still able to react to it.

Soon, Luo Yang locked onto a residential building on the side of the street. This was a small courtyard that couldn't be considered large. But from the looks of it, the owner of this courtyard should be completely carefree. From the outside, there should be five to six rooms in the courtyard, and on top of the walls, there were a few branches of peach trees.

After hesitating for a while, Luo Yang still walked up to the entrance of the courtyard, reached out his hand to knock on the scarlet door, and shouted: "Is anyone here? Is anyone there? "

Luo Yang called a few times, but he found something was wrong. Although he couldn't clearly see what was going on inside, when he arrived at the entrance, he could clearly see a trace of light through the crack of the door. However, after Luo Yang shouted a few times, the light disappeared. It was obviously hiding something.

There's something wrong with this yard! Luo Yang's heart skipped a beat, but before things get clear, it would not be easy for Luo Yang to call people over. He thought for a moment, then knocked on the door again and shouted: "Is there anyone inside? No one? Old Zhang San! When will you exchange the money for the wine that you owe laozi! "

He made up the last two lines of what Luo Yang said. He didn't even know the surname of this family. After shouting a few times like this, Luo Yang cursed a few more times and kicked on the locked door. Then, he pretended to leave. After taking a few steps, Luo Yang moved in a flash and entered a side alley. He then nimbly climbed up the wall of another house. He crouched down on top of the wall and looked down at the inside of the yard.

Tonight, the night sky was covered with clouds, completely covering the moon and stars. Therefore, besides the few families that had their lights lit up, everything else in the city was pitch-black. Luo Yang could only rely on the firelight at the western part of the city to vaguely see the outline of the courtyard. This was also due to Luo Yang having received special training back then. If it was anyone else, they would probably only be able to see in the dark.

He saw that the courtyard was still quiet and still, as if there really was no one there. However, Luo Yang's mind was still thinking about the lights that had suddenly disappeared. He was still standing on the wall, not moving at all.

After waiting for two incense sticks' worth of time, it was indeed a worthwhile effort. A ray of light suddenly lit up in a room in the innermost part of the yard. It seemed like someone had lit an oil lamp, but blocked the light with his hand. Seeing this strange scene, even though he knew that it was impossible for the other party to discover him, Luo Yang still subconsciously held his breath, his eyes staring intently at the room.

Although the oil lamp's light was blocked, there were still some figures reflected on the windows. When Luo Yang observed carefully, he found that there were no less than ten people in that small room! It was impossible for such a normal family to have so many people. It could be seen that there was something wrong with the yard!
