Chapter 224: Behind the Scenes

Master Zhang's words, Prime Minister Du Cheng was very useful, especially that sentence.

I saw Prime Minister Du Cheng pretending to be contemplative, and asked: If you make a move over there, it should be no problem, right? If it can be done, the military defense layout map or something else, everything is easy to say.

When Master Zhang heard this, he nodded and said: With Prime Minister Du's words, Zhang will have an explanation over there. As for what happened after that, the prime minister was relieved that Zhang would naturally do his best.

As he spoke, Master Zhang walked from behind the table to Prime Minister Du. Du Cheng was very satisfied when he saw that he looked like he was bound to win, and thought that the next time he heard it would be good news.

So, Prime Minister Du Cheng stood up from the chair, with a smile on his face, and said: Since Master Zhang has said so, then Du will sit and wait for the good news!

Master Zhang raised his hand and said with a smile: The prime minister can rest assured.

Prime Minister Du Cheng nodded and said, "That's it for today."

Master Zhang said: The prime minister walks slowly.

Prime Minister Du walked out of the main gate of Zhang's Mansion, got into a carriage, and returned to Du's Mansion.

Just tonight, Master Zhang came out of the mansion alone and went north with light work.

From time to time, to a mansion. It was the mansion that the Assassins had visited that night.

Fly into the house. The candles were shining in the room, and as far as the eye could see, there was a person sitting on the front seat facing the door. I saw that the man was dressed in a wide and bright red robe, as bewitching and uninhibited as the blood that had just flowed out under the candlelight, and a green hair poured down unadorned, and spread out casually over his shoulders, and his face under the candlelight wore a mask with distorted features.

As soon as Master Zhang saw someone sitting there, he lowered his head, stepped forward and knelt down and saluted: Master, Prime Minister Du Cheng has been to Zhang's Mansion today.

When he finished speaking, he knelt still and waited for a reply.

Immediately, I heard the man above say: What did you say?

Master Zhang immediately replied: complained that he didn't kill the surnamed Lu, and said that only by killing him could he get Xifeng's military defense layout map.

A sneer came from above, and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Hearing the question, Master Zhang pondered slightly for a while, and said: His subordinates have promised him that they will kill Prime Minister Lu. This is also a plan to have one less strong general in the future.

After speaking, I waited for a while and didn't hear a sound, and I couldn't help but beat a drum in my heart.

After a while, I heard a voice from above: since you have spoken, you should do it. What to do, you should understand?

After hearing the words, Master Zhang hurriedly said: My subordinates understand.

When he had finished speaking, he got up, bowed again, and withdrew with his back bowed.

After Master Zhang left, a figure walked out of the dark on one side of the house. It turned out to be Chengli.

Chengli stood in front of the man, faced him, and said: Have you really decided to kill Marshal Lu?

But the man did not reply, but raised his hand and took off his mask.

The face behind the mask is handsome and free, revealing a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, but a pair of eyes are very evil, adding a bit of demonic energy.

Nari stared at his movements. The man noticed that Nari was looking at him, so he smiled slightly and said, "Is this face so good-looking?"

Chengli Dao: Yes.

The man snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, how are you doing?"

Chengli lowered his eyes and said, "Everything is fine."

The man said: Okay. You remember, that's all you need to do. If anything happens to her, she must tell me immediately. Do you understand?

Naruto nodded silently.

Suddenly, the man threw something at Chengli. was immediately caught by Chengli, picked it up and saw that it was a medicine bottle. There are already several of these pill bottles in Chengli, if you want the Gu poison in your body not to attack, you must take the pills in this bottle on time. In a year's time, the Gu poison in Chengli's body has reached the final stage, although the Gu worm has become very weak after a long period of feeding, but it can't relax, once the pill is broken, the Gu worm will become manic and ferocious, running around in the body, invading the organs, within ten days, it will be poisoned, and try its best to die.

Under the control of drugs, Chengli has never had a seizure, just like an ordinary person, but his own fate is in the hands of others, and life and death are not up to him.

The man said, "When you go back, tell her, 'You've seen me.'" That's enough, if she asks anything else, you don't have to reply to anything.

Naruri asked, "Why do you say I've seen you?"

The man said: Just do what I say. You don't have to worry about anything else.

After finishing speaking, the man laughed again, and then said: According to her temperament, even if she asks you a few more words, if you don't say it, she won't ask again.

Sure enough, Chengli thought to himself, he had already planned everything.

Chengli agreed and left.

At this time, he was alone in the room, and through the dim candlelight, he saw that Chu Yunzheng reached behind the left ear of his face, gently lifted a layer of human skin from under the skin, and then slowly tore it open, gradually revealing his original facial features. Naturally, it is also a peerless face that only Qingqing has ever seen.

As early as when he was young, with that look, he won the love and flattery of others. But in the future, he was subjected to cold eyes and ridicule because of this, and his status plummeted and he became the target of public criticism. Chu Yun, who had nowhere to stay, sneaked into the mountains and forests after meeting the Taoist who claimed to be the Heavenly Master. Then, an ugly mask was his Chu Yun's appearance.

From then on, no one had ever seen the appearance of Chu Yun who had grown up as an adult, but those who had seen him when he was young could still distinguish his extraordinary face when they looked at Chu Yun's eyes through those masks and trembled with shock.

This mansion is Chu Yun's foothold in the Xifeng Imperial City, and as for the properties under his name, they are all over Xifeng, and the same is true for other small border countries, whether it is the Zhang family in Xifeng or the Baoyu Pavilion in the hills, they are all under his control.

Guarding the border wall, Lu Shui looked at the empty grassland in the distance, and under the endless end, more than a dozen people cowered as if they were approaching the city wall and then retreated, hiding in the distance from time to time to look at this side.

This has been going on for several days. Since the arrival of the army, there has been no more disturbance on the border, which should be a good thing, and the people are also comforted by the presence of soldiers, as long as there is a large army, those barbarians do not want to get close to half a point, and this is also true.

But in Lu Shui's view, things are not as simple as they seem. At first, he was satisfied that he could quell the border nuisance without injuring a single soldier, and that it was the best policy to make the enemy flee in fear by deterrence alone, and no one was not happy about it.

But as time went by, the barbarian bandits still came every day, a dozen people at a time, dozens at a time, and nearly a hundred people at a time, and when they were not close to the city wall, they fled far away. Fortunately, Hu Guangwei had rushed back from the imperial city.
