Chapter 1126 Frosty Castle
The next day, Ye Yuxian and others arrived at a new city, Shuangliang City.
Looking at the decayed city wall from afar, one could feel the desolation.
The city wall is obviously dilapidated, and there are many weeds growing in the gaps between the bricks. It seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time.
A corner of the plaque with the three characters "Shuangliang City" written on it at the gate of the city was broken, and the writing on it was also blurred by the wind and rain.
"What's wrong with this city? It's so barren, it doesn't look like a city." Su Wanyi commented.
Huangfuliang explained: "Madam doesn't know that Shuangliang City was a prosperous city thirty years ago, but it suffered two catastrophes in succession, and finally turned into this desolate appearance."
"Two great calamities?" What kind of two great calamities?
Huangfu Liang replied: "The first time was the great battle of the Ye family. One of the battlefields was outside Shuangliang City. There were rivers of blood in that battle, and there were countless casualties. After the war, a small-scale plague broke out. If you die, run away, most of the city is desolate."
"The second time happened ten years ago. Shuangliang City finally took a breather. Although it has not recovered to the grand occasion of thirty years ago, it has gained some popularity. But I don't want to be ten years ago. The city lord passed away, and the new city lord took office, and the nightmare began."
"What did the new city lord do?" Su Wanyi asked.
"That's a devil, a devil who regards human life as worthless. He doesn't treat human beings as human beings. He has arrested a large number of people and tortured them. His methods are cruel and he can't even be called human beings. The City Lord's Mansion in Shuangliang City has new ones every day." Corpses, the shrill screams can be heard every night."
"In the beginning he just attacked the slaves, then he attacked the old officials of the Ye family who were charged with crimes, and then he started attacking ordinary people when there were no more slaves and old officials of the Ye family in the city. how many people."
Huangfu Liang shook his head again and again.
Song Ming next to him said: "I advise you to take a detour. This Shuangliang City is very strange, too many people have died, and the perverted city owner is still in the city. That city is like a ghost town."
Lu Yuanyong also hurriedly said: "That's right, let's take a detour, it's a little bit far away without delay. This Shuangliang City is so desolate that the nearby cities don't bother to invade their territory!"
Valuable land will lead to scrambles, and Shuangliang City makes people avoid it for fear. Even though it is completely deserted, the nearby city has not come to attack.
"Then is there anyone living in this city?" Su Wanyi asked.
Huangfu Liang nodded: "Yes, there are still people living there. They are old, weak, sick and disabled who can't move away. The perverted city owner seems to have no interest in the old and sick. He specially finds young and healthy people to torture. The weak, sick, and disabled escaped unharmed. But these people’s life is not easy, there is no young labor force, no food, basically it’s a day-to-day situation.”
"You said that he captured and tortured the old officials of the Ye family in the original city. Is it possible for those people to be alive now?" Su Wanyi asked.
Huangfu Liang shook his head: "I don't know."
Huangfu Liang's face was full of regret, they were all followers of the Ye family, and after the catastrophe that year, they had no chance to meet again.
Their life is not easy, but it is better than those in Shuangliang City.
"Okay, let's go in and have a look. We have brought food, and we won't die of hunger after two days." Su Wanyi decided.
