Chapter 20: Nanyansha tracks down the enemy behind the scenes

Wu Yu's encounter with a beautiful woman seems to wash away the fatigue caused by days of travel. He was in good spirits at the moment, sitting alone in the guest room of the restaurant, studying the scroll he had obtained from the Qingyang Mountain Palace.

"In the underground palace, why is the old man surnamed Yan so interested in this scroll?" Wu Yu remembered that the old man Yan was almost about to make a move on himself at that time, and he was extremely puzzled. In fact, this question flashed through his mind many times, but he didn't think about it in detail.

First, he was afraid that the scroll would be discovered, and secondly, he spent a lot of energy on Zhou Mengxuan. When I thought about it at this time, I felt more and more that something was wrong.

"This scroll is just a fragment... Could it be that the old man surnamed Yan also has some remnants?" Wu Yu thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he couldn't help but pace back and forth in the room, waving his fists from time to time, obviously his mood was very uncalm at the moment.

"You have to find a way to put this text together. The surname Yan wanted to make a move on me, hmph, then it's no wonder that I. Wu Yu made up his mind, remembering that in the scriptures, the demon god with monstrous power couldn't help but take a hard breath. Just wait for the matter to be over, and then we will find out the whereabouts of the Yanlin Sect.

......

Let's say that Zhou Mengxuan and Nan Yansha rode a high-headed horse and galloped on the extremely wide official road. As for the thousand wild goose guards, they are still in the rear at the moment.

Time is pressing, and arriving a moment earlier may have a very different effect.

"Senior Sister Zhou, we're about to arrive in Puhua City. Nan Yansha tilted her head and said to Zhou Mengxuan. At this time, his robe was agitated in the wind, and he looked very imposing. On the other hand, Zhou Mengxuan has long hair fluttering, and her originally cold and pretty face is slightly flushed with light red due to the wind and sun, and she looks a little more charming than usual.

"Haha, Senior Sister Zhou, you look much better than usual at the moment. Nan Yansha quipped. He can be regarded as a disciple of the high priest of the temple, so he is commensurate with Zhou Mengxuan's junior sister.

Zhou Mengxuan replied lightly: "Yes, thank you Senior Brother Nan for your praise." Zhou Mengxuan didn't like to speak, but she still did so at this time.

"Haha!" Nan Yansha laughed, and then fell silent.

In Puhua City, the two came to the city lord's mansion. At this time, although several days have passed since the attack, traces of the battle in Fuchu can still be seen.

The brightly colored bluestone slab left many black blood stains. At this time, the entire city lord's mansion was full of silence, and his anger seemed a little depressed.

"Oh, Commander Nan... The subordinates have seen the Southern Commander. When the city guard saw Nan Yansha entering the mansion, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Hmm. Nan Yansha nodded, said hello, and walked towards the main hall.

At this time, there was a pitch-black coffin parked in the main hall, Nan Yansha bowed slightly, and was led by the city guard to check it.

Zhou Mengxuan then turned her head to look into the coffin, and saw a dead face glowing black and purple, with black and purple liquid oozing from her lips, eyes, etc., looking extremely disgusting. Zhou Mengxuan's heart suddenly suddenly, her face instantly became extremely ugly, she covered her lips with her slender hands, and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the hall.

Nan Yansha looked at her back and shook her head slightly.

"What about the other corpses?" Nan Yansha asked.

"Lord Hui, the bodies of all the brothers have been handed over to his family. The city guard said respectfully.

"Well, tell me about the situation. Nan Yansha said slowly.

I only heard the city guard say: "It was the middle of the night, and the enemy entered the city from nowhere, and went straight to the city lord's mansion, perhaps he had already hidden in the city. The city guard chief looked at Nan Yansha's expression before continuing: "At that time, there was a shout of killing in the mansion, and when his subordinates led the guards to arrive, I saw that the guards in the mansion were killed and injured, and the city lord also fell in a pool of blood. ”

Nan Yansha interjected and said, "According to what you say, you have not seen any trace of the enemy. And those who see it are dead, aren't they?"

The city guard chief looked a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and said, "My subordinates are ashamed." ”

"Well, I'm not to blame you for this. It is expected that the enemy has already figured out the strength of the house, and the people sent are all elite masters, which is indeed too late for people to be on guard. Nan Yansha said slowly.

"Lord Commander. The city guard chief said with great gratitude.

"Hmm. Nan Yansha nodded, and asked again: "The city lord is obviously highly poisoned, can you verify what kind of poison it is?"

"Lord Hui, my subordinates have recently asked experts from all over the place to check it, but this poison seems to be extremely secretive, and it has not yet been verified, so it is the incompetence of my subordinates. The city guard chief was extremely remorseful in his words, obviously he did not make any effort in this attack, and he felt extremely guilty in his heart.

"Even the use of poison is so secretive, what kind of force is it?" Nan Yansha did not blame the city guard. He was also considered to be erudite, and the various texts in the temple were very extensive, but he could not recognize how poisonous it was.

Nan Yansha's brows furrowed slightly, he only felt that there was a pair of powerful black hands in the darkness, planning some conspiracy.

Nan Yansha asked all the details she could think of again, but she still didn't see the slightest clue, and her brows furrowed deeper for a while.

Zhou Mengxuan didn't know when she got behind Nan Yansha, Nan Yansha looked at her, and saw that her pretty face was pale, obviously the terrifying corpse of the city lord, which brought a shadow to her psychologically.

Nan Yansha was about to say a few words of comfort, but heard Zhou Mengxuan say: "I know this poison." This sentence seemed to be a natural sound, Nan Yansha was slightly happy, but she didn't believe that Zhou Mengxuan really knew it.

"I've seen people use this poison before. Although Zhou Mengxuan is not good at observing words and feelings, she still understands Nan Yansha's doubts.

"Oh, where has Senior Sister Zhou seen me?" Nan Yansha turned around and asked in a slightly surprised voice.

"In Yecheng. Zhou Mengxuan remembered that the master of the shuttle killed his companion with poison, so he told the matter again.

"Is that them?" Nan Yansha frowned, obviously this news did not bring him joy, but was extremely puzzled.

"How could the Dark Dragon Killer Organization attack the guards of the cities of our Federation State, it doesn't make sense..."Nan Yansha analyzed in his heart, he already knew the identities of Pu Rusheng and King Nightmare, but he couldn't figure out why the other party would do this. In his opinion, if the Dark Dragon Organization really wants to attack the Federation, it should be to send a powerful ace killer to directly assassinate the King of Chiba or the High Priest, and will not specifically deal with the painless role of the city lord.

"What's the matter, have you seen them?" Zhou Mengxuan looked at Nan Yansha with her eyes and asked.

Nan Yansha fell into thinking at this time, and was about to agree, but then reacted and said, "Oh, no, I haven't seen it." ”

His palms were slightly sweaty, and he was not paying attention, and he almost showed his feet. But when she glanced at Zhou Mengxuan's smiling expression, she suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart: "She won't know anything, right?"

This time, no useful clues were found in Puhua City, Nan Yansha thought about it for a while, and decided to go to the next city, Liushi City, to investigate.

He immediately left a message to the Yan Wei who caught up behind, and said to the city guard: "You must deal with the aftermath, especially the bereavement of those soldiers who died in battle, and you must properly handle it with your family." ”

"Yes, the subordinates will handle this matter well. Seeing that Nan Yansha didn't blame himself from beginning to end, the city guard chief was extremely grateful in his heart, and secretly determined to do this last thing well.

Nan Yansha nodded, immediately said goodbye and left, and rushed to Liushi City with Zhou Mengxuan overnight.

Flowing Stone City is not too far from here, maybe by noon tomorrow, it will be able to arrive, Nan Yansha secretly thought in his heart.

Zhou Mengxuan was silent all the way and didn't say a word. Nanyansha is so happy, lest she say too much and show the horse's feet, which will not be good.

By noon on the second day, the two of them rushed to Flowstone City. There is a large river outside the Flowing Stone Castle, and there are many large stones in the river that are half exposed. The river has been washed over the years, and the surface of the stone is extremely smooth, hence the name of the Flowing Stone Castle.

Just like in Puhua City, the two of them didn't rest much, and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion. After mourning the deceased, Nan Yansha asked carefully about what happened here.

Almost as in Phua City, the enemy also used poison, and only on the city lord. This seems a little strange, the other party seems to have to put the city lords to death. However, according to the previous reports, although the other city lords were not lightly injured, they saved their lives. Why was he so ruthless to these two city lords? Nan Yansha only felt that he couldn't figure it out and didn't understand.

"Back to the Commander, there was a soldier who was seriously injured and fell unconscious. Just a few days ago, I gradually woke up. The leader of the city guards of Flowing Stone City said to Nan Yansha.

"Oh, where is it?" Nan Yansha's face was happy, "Take me there." ”

"Yes, Lord Commander, please come with me. The city guard led Nan Yansha and Zhou Mengxuan and went straight to the backyard.

"He's in the mansion?" asked Nan Yansha.

"Yes, Lord Archon. We also knew that he was extremely important, so we let him recuperate in the backyard, and sent a large number of soldiers to help him, so as not to go wrong. The leader said respectfully.

"Well, yes, you've thought about it quite well. Nan Yansha's heart was relieved, but he could be regarded as finding something useful.

"Welcome to the Commander!" Outside the door of a guest room, all the soldiers guarding saw Nan Yansha and bowed in unison. Nan Yansha didn't put on a show, waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, everyone is their own people." Is he in there?"

"Yes, my lord, please!" A soldier immediately pushed open the door, and a very strong smell of medicine came out. Nan Yansha didn't care about this, and stepped into the house.

Zhou Mengxuan followed in, only to see a man lying flat on a wooden bed covered in bandages, only a pair of eyes and lips were exposed, and even his nose was wrapped in bandages.

Nan Yansha walked over and sat down at the head of the bed. The man seemed to sense someone coming in and opened his eyes slightly.

Obviously, he had been told that Nan Yansha was coming, so although he had never seen Nan Yansha, when he saw that the original city guard commander was accompanying him, he had already guessed the identity of the other party, and immediately wanted to get up and salute. Helplessly, his whole body was covered with bandages, let alone saluting, it was impossible to even move.

"Don't move. Nan Yansha stroked his hands lightly, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and then asked, "Can you speak?"

"Well, my subordinates have met the Commander. The man's tone was extremely weak, but there was a look in his eyes, and he was obviously very awake at the moment.

"Hmm. Nan Yansha nodded, and then asked, "Can you see their appearance clearly when those people entered the mansion?"

The man shook his head and said, "They are all dressed in black, and their faces are also covered with black cloths, and their subordinates don't see it clearly. ”

Nan Yansha sighed slightly and nodded, although he had already guessed that this was the case, he was still a little disappointed.

"Commander, although the subordinates did not see their appearance clearly, the subordinates remembered that there seemed to be a word embroidered on their black clothes. The man struggled to remember.

"Oh, what is the word?" Nan Yansha raised her eyebrows and hurriedly asked.

"It's likeβ€”" the man closed his eyes and said with a cry out of his mouth, "It seems to be a shadow word." Although his voice was weak, he was not an ordinary person present, and he heard it clearly.

"Shadow words?" Nan Yansha also frowned and thought at this moment, and the room seemed quiet.

"Well, it looks like it's still golden. They... The strength is too high, although we tried our best to resist, but it is not at all... Not their opponents. The man's voice was a little choppy, obviously extremely weak at the moment.

"Hmm. Nan Yansha nodded, this was also expected for a long time.

Nan Yansha asked a few more words, then let the man recuperate with peace of mind and retreated.

"In this way, this mysterious force has sent elite masters to deal with these soldiers who are not very strong... If it weren't for the broken brain, there must be a huge conspiracy!, but what kind of conspiracy is this?" Nan Yansha stood in the courtyard with his handrails, thinking hard.

There are not many clues, and Nanyansha still needs to go to several other cities to check and collect them one by one. However, he still passed the information of the golden warrior to the high priest through the internal channels of the temple.

This night, there is no wind. But Nan Yansha's heart is as if it is in the wind, and it cannot be calm.
