Chapter 17: Running into an Acquaintance
Regardless of whether their master and servant pretend to be pure or innocent, I don't want to get involved in the rights and wrongs related to the royal family. If the old alliance leader dies, the rivers and lakes will inevitably be chaotic for a while, but the affairs of the world will be divided for a long time, and those who are painstakingly and cautiously maintaining the stability of the overall situation will not be able to prevent the emergence of chaos.
The chaos will naturally calm down again, and there is never a shortage of people in this world who are engaged in things, and it is impossible to prevent it.
Moreover, the death of the original boss will also stir up waves in Shikoku, and the days of peace are few days away.
Ah Zhao didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food, just poured a stomach of wine, shouted 'slaves are incompetent', and fell asleep on the table.
Yunzhou has already cleaned up the food, and Ah Zhao's inability to eat is all his credit, he is in the wind and clouds on the table, and ninety percent of the good dishes on the table go into his stomach.
Seeing Ah Zhao lying down, Yunzhou poked him in the shoulder, almost poking someone under the table.
I grabbed the man and threw it on the only table in the room.
Ah Zhao slept like a dead pig, and he didn't wake up when he smashed the bed board.
I called Xiao Er to clean up the table and asked him to prepare another room, and our room was given to Ah Zhao to live in, and Yunzhou and I exchanged places.
At present, I haven't gotten rid of the habit of sleeping beams, and I don't need to rent more rooms.
In the second half of the night, someone touched the roof of the inn, and the light work was good, and the feet were on the tiles, and there was almost no sound.
But as long as it's a living person, I can sense their energy field.
The first person who came lifted the tiles on the roof of the next room, which was the room between me and Yunzhou.
Then they put the tiles back and did nothing.
It seems that they are targeting a specific person, not a randomly selected room and person.
They split up and went from room to room to reveal the tiles to find people.
When I got to our house, I hid in the blind spot of their sight, and they couldn't see me, but they could see the cloud boat lying on the bed.
A filament hung down and hung over Yun Zhou's face, who was not at all alert to his own safety.
When the target of other people's assassination was him, he was an ordinary person without the slightest internal force in his body.
There was liquid sliding down the filament, which was black and suspicious to look at.
I raised my palm, and the filaments and black liquor were blown back to the roof by a 'wind', and the people on the roof hurriedly dodged, making a movement in a panic, and trampled on a few tiles.
This is another assassination attempt against Yunzhou, I am guarding him and not moving, I don't want to know who the assassin is, saving his life is my goal, as long as I am by his side, no assassin can complete the task.
But the people on the roof didn't intend to give up, they rushed into the house through the window, the door, and the roof, respectively, and the assassination was changed to a clear killing.
Nightwear is their standard outfit, and they also wear a black iron mask on their faces.
They wore night clothes to hide their whereabouts, but the black iron masks they wore were a unique symbol of a certain family, half hidden, half revealed, and I couldn't understand what they meant for a while.
Four men in black were in the room and I was in the room, and there was no one else, so I didn't have to scruple and used my abilities to fight them.
My abilities can save people or kill people, and it's easiest to capture 'energy'.
Once the four of them touched my fists and feet, they would feel weak, as if they were seriously ill, and they were still dying and about to return to the West.
I didn't show any mercy, they touched my palms, and they fell unconscious, and one of them tried to escape, but I quickly stopped him and grabbed his wrist before he killed himself.
He lost the chance to bite the poison pill in his mouth, and fainted to the ground in the blink of an eye.
I lifted the masks from the faces of the four men, and unsurprisingly, their faces were so disfigured that they couldn't see their true faces.
These were the dead men of that family, three men and one woman, who had no personal belongings on them except poison and hidden weapons.
The only thing that can prove your identity is the Black Iron Mask.
The person who assassinated Yunzhou before had no mark, and his martial arts were very miscellaneous, so he should have been a killer hired from outside, not cultivated by himself.
These four dead soldiers are different, they have poison in their bodies, and if they can't complete the mission, they will definitely die.
Yun Zhou was woken up by the sound of fighting, he jumped off the ground and ran to me, his eyes were up and down, some of his actions I could guess the intention, raised his hand and patted his arm, telling him that I was not hurt.
He looked at the four dead men on the ground and walked over and kicked them.
But he seemed to notice something, crouched down and took the hand of one of them.
He was pulling the hand of the dead woman, who was also disfigured and hideous, with an old scar on the little finger of her right hand.
"Bend... ......"Yunzhou's language function has not improved much, and most of the pronunciation is inaccurate, he said 'bend', then this word may be any of the words in the late, wan, and chop.
"You know her?" Leaving aside which sound he pronounced, his performance made me suspect that he recognized an acquaintance.
"Crooked ......" He had tried very hard, but he still couldn't express what was in his heart.
I also walked over and squatted down to check the wound on the female deceased's hand, and found that she had six fingers, and the last little finger was chopped off, leaving this scar.
"Do you want to be on her? You don't have to speak, just nod when you want. ”
Yunzhou didn't understand, and still grabbed the woman's hand and 'bent' and screamed.
I saw this situation and felt the need to talk to this woman, so I first relieved her of the poison in her body, then treated her poisoned and dumb throat, and finally repaired her face, but I did not return her 'qi' to her.
The poison in their bodies attacks once a day, about every 24 hours, and about 12 hours before the next attack.
The rest of the problems of the female dead will take time to solve, and I will first detoxify the four dead soldiers to ensure that they are not tortured to death by the poison.
It also takes time to detoxify, it took nearly ten hours, and I was so tired that my eyes were full of stars.
The other three dead men were unconscious and did not wake up, and the female dead man gradually woke up after my treatment.
She was so weak that she couldn't even pinch an ant now.
She was surprised to find herself lying in bed, and I guess she thought she would be taken to a dungeon/torture/confession after being caught.
She had no shackles on her, and she had no other poison.
"You will lose your strength temporarily, this is a necessary means of treatment for you, rest assured, I have solved the poison in your body, and I will not attack again." The Dark Guard is not very good at conversing with people, and the original body rarely uses words to communicate with her boss, usually using simple gestures.
Fortunately, I'm not a secret guard who has been disciplined since I was a child, and I can do things that the original body is not good at.
It's just that the tone is relatively cold, and in the face of strangers, I can't pretend to be a gentle and amiable young lady.
The female deceased had a look of disbelief, her eyes full of suspicion, she was probably trying to figure out my intentions, suspecting that I had a conspiracy.
"Don't think too much, leave you alive because Yunzhou knows you, oh, it's the stupid one, the one who gnawed on the chicken neck." I pointed to Yun Zhou, who was sitting in front of the window munching on the neck of a smoked chicken, and from the perspective of the female dead man, she could not see the position of the window.
I helped her up, helped her turn her head, and asked her to recognize the person in front of the window.
