Chapter 244: Protecting a City for One Man
The courtyard is tightly guarded, and even rats don't want to get into the mansion. I let out a filament of air, and by the wind I drifted into the courtyard, and then paraded against the ground, and climbed into the courtyard where the patriarch lived.
To find out if he is dead or not, just check the life energy mass in the room.
There was not a single living person in the room, but the front and back yards were full of people.
They kept an 'empty' room tightly.
Qisi climbed onto the bed and sensed a humanoid object lying on the bed.
A maid came into the house with a tray, and she spoke to the bed, and then she took the bowl on the tray, and went to the bed and drank the contents of the bowl herself.
She pulled out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth, put the empty bowl back on the tray, and walked out the door.
When the uninformed saw the empty bowl, they thought that the patriarch had drunk the medicine.
Qi silk stained the skirt of the maid and followed her out of the yard.
She must have been instructed to do this, and I wanted to see who was the one who created the illusion that the patriarch was alive.
She didn't necessarily report this to the real master at the time, and I didn't do anything else but let Qisi follow her.
On Yunzhou's side, I told him that the patriarch Bacheng had died, and it was indeed someone who blocked the news and created the illusion that the patriarch was still alive.
After all, the patriarch is his father, although the relationship between father and son has been poor over the years, and it has become more and more stiff, to the point of breaking up.
But I believe that Yunzhou's heart will not be completely unwavering.
Although the relationship between their father and son is poor, it is not so bad that Lao Tzu died and his son clapped his hands.
Yunzhou assigned a new task to his subordinates, and sat in front of the window for a long time without speaking.
I walked over and sat down beside him, took his hand, and said solemnly, "I am also your relative." ”
He is now fatherless and motherless, and his brothers and sisters are indifferent, so won't he be a relative like me in the future?
Tonight is special, we didn't talk about the past before, what he was like as a child, what experiences he had when he was a teenager, and never told me.
The ones I know are from Wan'er.
Wan'er is a bystander, she only knows some things, but she doesn't know what Yunzhou really thinks in her heart.
"I feel like I'm ...... Like rootless duckweed. He took my hand, looked out the window at the night sky and sighed.
Since he was a child, he didn't have the love of his parents and the feeling that he had no one to rely on, so he always had a sense of suspension floating in mid-air.
"When I was a child, I was afraid of when I would fall, but when I grew up, I felt that it was more solid to fall."
When he was suspended, he had been studying hard and performing well, hoping to be recognized by his father, at least not to be abandoned, not to fall to pieces.
After being poisoned and stupid, he fell to the ground, and the result was not as terrible as he imagined.
"The luckiest thing for me is to meet you." His eyes were sincere.
"Your life is good~" I regret that the original body has a paralyzed face, and it is too difficult to convey emotions through expressions, so I can only find a way in tone and intonation.
"Yes, so in the face of the future, I am not afraid, nor is I uneasy, because you are with me."
"Don't worry, I'm always there."
The night was silent, with the occasional bark of dogs, far away.
Yun Zhou's subordinates reported that a few clan uncles who had been out of town all the year round had quietly set off and planned to return to Sun City.
Xixuan's grandfather is also secretly mobilizing people, he is the patriarch's favorite son, and many people believe that he will replace Xiqing, the eldest son, and take over the position of patriarch.
Whether it is a royal family or a wealthy family, the struggle for power has never been unusual.
Between Xiqing and Xixuan, there is destined to be an ultimate battle.
Yun Zhou only needs to help in the shadows, but as long as he lives, his brothers will not completely lose their guard against him.
Especially after the news of my return to the island spread, Yunzhou was resurrected from the state of 'heart like ashes'.
Their surveillance of Treasure Island has become tighter again.
But they can only monitor the sea, and Yunzhou's outlying islands are from the bottom of the sea.
Treasure Island has a steep cliff on one side with a very hidden cave underneath.
The cave is connected to the sea, and the exit from the island is hidden in the mountain.
As long as there is a 'mouth', the white hairball's biological shield can cover it.
People from the outside can't get in, but people from the inside can get out.
And this secret passage has not been discovered by outsiders for the time being.
The cave can accommodate the dive boats to sail in and out.
I built a dock in the cave, and no one outside the island of Yunzhou found out.
The coast is full of eyeliner planted by various forces, and when Yunzhou and I go out, we have to change our faces first.
Anyway, we are not the only people who use the disguise technique, and the professionals can only see that we have changed our face, and there is no way to see the true face behind the mask.
"What do you need me to do, just say, I'm a professional." I raised my hand and gestured twice on my neck, in addition to treating people and detoxifying, my longest thing was to send people on the road.
"There's something you need to do." As if he suddenly remembered something, Yun Zhou took out a booklet from the bookshelf and handed it to me.
"You choose."
I took the booklet and opened it and found that it was a 'fashion magazine'.
"The lady of the city lord of Sun City, the standard of clothing, food, housing and transportation is the same as that of the queens of other countries, I know that you don't like fancy clothes, so I specially asked someone to design a new style of dress, you pick one, if you like them all, I will ask someone to do it all."
He pulled out two more booklets, one for a jewelry magazine and one for a makeup magazine.
Three booklets were placed in front of me, and I suddenly felt like I was playing a game of face pinching and dressing.
The booklet is loose-leaf, and each one can be removed and spliced together with jewelry and makeup pages.
It can be seen from this that he is well prepared to seize power.
On the day he became King of Arturo, it was really not festive to wear black.
And what he means is that if he wants to marry me in front of his clansmen, the media is marrying and publicizing it.
After all, the conditions on Treasure Island are limited, and he wants to hold a large wedding in Sun City, and then return to Treasure Island to hold a small one, so that the residents of the island can also be lively.
I wasn't born to worry about it, he was looking forward and enthusiastic about preparing for our wedding, and I had to support, encourage and affirm him.
He told me to wait with peace of mind, and he was in charge of the wedding.
What I can do is protect the people of Cité Soleil.
Don't wait for our wedding day, there is not a single living person on the street.
I'm not exaggerating at all, the Xi clan patriarch died suddenly, and his thoughts were not only alive with his sons and brothers.
The forces that covet the wealth of the Xi clan, as well as the family feuds, are also heading towards Sun City.
They wanted to lead their troops to break through and slaughter the city.
Let the territory of the Xi clan become a desert and a ghost town.
The large army is numerous, and it is inconvenient for me to maneuver.
So only a part of the gas filament was mobilized, and it was wrapped in poison/medicine to infiltrate/enter/army/battalion.
While they are resting, add poison to the ingredients they are cooking.
This poison was given to me by the Demon Sect Poison Hall, a powerful 'creature' and 'weapon', with a very low lethality rate, but an extremely high transmission rate.
As long as you are hit, one will spread ten, ten will spread hundreds, the onset will be rapid, there is no antidote on the market, and you will not be able to get better without being in bed for three months.
Adequate rest and hydration can heal without taking medicine.
I started on the way they came, and based on the time of onset, they would never have been able to make it to Cité Soleil.
