Chapter 177 The Closed City

Night shrouds the Eastern Wilderness, and the busy city during the day gradually returns to calm.

The snoring coming from outside the house, combined with the whistling of the wind outside, cast a gloomy tone on the quiet Eastern Wilderness.

Lin Yuan lay on the ground, his mind filled with scenes from the day.

There is indeed a small border country located on the edge of the Boundary Sea, but this place has always been barren. Except for the indigenous people, basically no outsiders will travel across mountains and rivers to this ghost place.

Even the caravans coming and going, if they didn't have a special commission and rashly came to this desolate place, the result would not be much better.

Lin Yuan thought, and the look in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Today, he seemed to see a few familiar caravan flags...

Could it be that what the elder brother said was true and there was really something wrong with Jiehai?

His thoughts kept drifting away, and along with the gentle voices around him, Lin Yuan felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and then his vision went dark and he fell into a deep sleep.

…

Wow——

The sound of waves came towards the shore from near and far away, carrying a salty smell.

When the sky just turned white, the village that had been silent all night became alive again.

Lin Yuan was awakened by the noise outside the house.

He scratched his head, sat up from the ground, opened his hazy eyes and looked in the direction of the bed.

As a result, Luo Qinghan was not seen. When he turned around, he found that Luo Qinghan was already sitting on the wooden table not far away.

"woke up?"

Luo Qinghan's cold voice came, and Lin Yuan trembled, and the sleepiness on his body was immediately driven away.

"Master, you got up so early."

Lin Yuan half yawned and walked over and took the tea cup from Luo Qinghan's hand.

"Thank you, Master."

Luo Qinghan's eyes softened a little.

Lin Yuan picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp. The slightly sweet white water irrigated his dry throat, smoothing the wrinkles inside, and instantly awakening his body to life after sleeping all night.

"Are you going to the city today?"

Luo Qinghan saw that the tea in Lin Yuan's hand had reached the bottom, so she filled it up for him without leaving a trace.

Lin Yuan tapped his fingers on the table twice, "Before entering the city, let's find out the background of those caravans."

"good."

The two tidied up and walked out of the room.

As soon as I opened the door, another burst of noise rushed into my eardrums.

The air is mixed with the fragrance of food, and when mixed together, it becomes slightly greasy.

Luo Qinghan frowned and used his spiritual power to block the sweeping smell.

Lin Yuan stood on the second floor and looked down, finding that the hall was still full of seats.

It’s hard to imagine that this was the scene at the beginning. It had just been opened in white, and the seats were already filled with people coming and going.

When I was thinking about it, the waiter came up to me and said with a smile.

"Boy, how did you sleep last night?"

Lin Yuan responded casually, looked around, and asked, "Is the city gate open now?"

"Unfortunately, the city gate will not be opened today."

"Why?"

The waiter thought for a while and replied: "It is said that some distinguished guests are coming. The city lord is afraid of danger, so he prevents outsiders from entering."

While Lin Yuan was thinking, the waiter asked again.

"Sir, are you still staying in the guest room?"

Lin Yuan took out a piece of silver from his pocket and said, "Continue."

When the waiter saw this, he smiled happily.

"Okay~"

After collecting the money, the waiter went to do other things.

When the two came out of the inn, the greasy smell disappeared, and they suddenly felt that the whole world became fresher.

Luo Qinghan looked at the tightly closed city gate not far away, feeling a little complicated in her heart.

"Master, we won't go in today." Lin Yuan's eyes fell on the pedestrians walking around, "Compared to inside, there may be the answer we want outside."

But compared to the businessmen who were discussing, Lin Yuan felt that the people drinking tea around the roadside tea stalls were even less impressive.

A horse head first broke into everyone's sight.

They looked at each other speechlessly, sitting there drinking tea quietly.

It's not Taotie's whereabouts, but the reason why the city gate is closed.

When Lin Yuan passed them, he slowed down his pace, listened carefully to their words, and his eyes became serious.

Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and pursed his lips.

The tea stains hanging on the wall of the tea cup slowly fell down along the wall of the cup, and quietly disappeared into the cracks of the table, disappearing.

Ordinary people would only think that these were a group of people taking a leisurely stroll, but from Lin Yuan's perspective, they were the most out of place among the crowd.

Several people all restrained their auras in their bodies to prevent their spiritual energy from overflowing. While drinking tea, they looked around and listened in all directions, as if they were on guard for something.

The person's realm didn't seem to be high, but he was very flamboyant.

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips, and the tea cup in his hand was placed on the table.

What does it mean?

"Bah, I don't care what big shot he is. If you don't go in, the goods will all be robbed, and the things we took will be smashed into our hands."

It's spiritual power!

Sure enough, before the two of them had walked a few steps, they heard the caravan next to them discussing this matter.

What followed was the messy sound of horse hooves, stepping on the unpaved road, rolling up waves of yellow sand, directly covering up the white sky.

After going around, Lin Yuan was confused. Instead of understanding the situation in the city, he was even more confused.

Guards in armor followed closely on both sides, alert and alert.

Why?

Ordinary people simply couldn't bear this kind of intimidation. After a while, their thighs began to tremble and tremble, and their bent knees seemed to be about to kneel down in the next second.

Many people wanted to fish in troubled waters and followed in, but as soon as they took two steps, the opened city gate was closed with lightning speed, blocking the outside together with the guards behind them.

The carriage drove straight towards the city gate.

The originally closed city gate opened at this moment, welcoming the carriage in.

"It seems that this is the man the waiter in the shop called...what did I think he was..."

"What's going on? Even if we closed the city gate early yesterday, why don't we even open the city gate today? Isn't this obviously playing tricks on us?"

goods?

At this moment, the uproaring crowd suddenly became quiet.

Did the city gate close early yesterday?

Then, the carriage came quickly behind him.

Uh-huh-huh--

…

Even if you only have a little spiritual power, you must show your uniqueness and release all the spiritual power in your Dantian to form a coercive force on the people on both sides.

But the guards seemed to have long been accustomed to it. They stood on both sides of the city gate and looked at the onlookers with indifferent expressions.

Pedestrians who were originally crowded in the street stepped aside, leaving a lane in the middle.

"I heard that a big shot is coming."
