Shen Ling said quietly, "This is the living dead, and it is also my puppet."

The assassin, who had been screaming in pain before, did not react at all, his expression was very wooden, and he just lay straight on the ground.

Seeing this, Peony squatted down, and he put his finger on the tip of the assassin's nose to test the assassin's breath, but he couldn't feel the breath at all.

"The man died."

Shen Ling bowed slightly, not surprised, "Naturally."

Then Shen Ling raised his hand and patted it twice, "Stand up."

I saw that the assassin who was lying motionless on his side on the ground actually followed Shen Ling's instructions and slowly moved.

The Assassin put his hands on the ground and slowly stood up.

Rao is Peony is well-informed, and she is still shocked when she encounters this kind of thing, she has just tested the assassin's breath and confirmed that the assassin is dead, but now......

The assassin was standing in front of her and Shen Ling, his eyes glazed over, and he didn't make any further moves.

In the past, the Assassin looked like he was fighting to the end, but now he is so obedient, even if he doesn't ask for useful information, the Assassin's own strength is still there.

Peony couldn't imagine how powerful it would be if Shen Ling had such a group of living dead people who didn't know pain and completely obeyed Shen Ling's orders.

Shen Ling didn't know what Peony was thinking, just looked at the living dead in front of him and ordered.

"Go to the back mountain and hide yourself, hide from some people and don't be discovered, and wait for my orders for the next action."

The moment Shen Ling's words fell, the assassin made a move, he slowly walked to the door, took advantage of the darkness, and hid himself in the night.

The blessings in the temple were carried out as usual, and the assassination on Shen Ling's side never stopped.

Sometimes Shen Ling walked alone on the path, and there would be black-clothed assassins jumping out of the shadows to assassinate Shen Ling, sometimes Shen Ling would sleep in bed, and in the middle of the night, assassins would sneak into her room and raise their knives at her, and sometimes Shen Ling would walk by the river, and the assassins would break out of the river and attack Shen Ling.

However, Shen Ling was already protected by poisonous Gu, and there was a servant girl prepared by Jing Xi, these assassinations in the secret were easily resolved by Shen Ling and the maidservant, and there was no splash at all.

It's just that these assassins have followed one after another, this one has died and the next one, and after half a month, Shen Ling has accumulated more than thirty puppets in his hands.

Unlike Shen Ling's side, the emperor's side has been receiving news of the failed assassination.

Inside the Imperial Study.

The Emperor leaned back in his seat, looking a little irritated.

"How about the people sent out today?"

The door of the imperial study was closed, and a middle-aged man dressed in black stood in front of the emperor.

Hearing the emperor's inquiry, the man threw himself on his knees, "The subordinates are incompetent, the assassin sent over today has disappeared again, and the subordinates can't contact him."

Hearing the news of the failed assassination again, the emperor's face was instantly clouded and the rain was pouring down.

"Rubbish!" The emperor angrily smashed the inkstone in his hand.

"I gave you so much money to train your subordinates, but as a result, your subordinates, not to mention that they couldn't even kill a woman who was powerless, and now they didn't even hurt her!"

The middle-aged man's forehead was smashed out by the inkstone, and the blood slid down his forehead, blurring his vision, but he didn't bother to wipe it.

The man fell to the ground, his head pressed against the ground, and snapped his head.

"The Holy One is angry!"

The emperor's face sank like the bottom of a black cauldron, and he cast two reproachful glances, which made people shudder.

If it weren't for the cost of cultivating a Secret Guard Commander who was loyal to him, the Emperor would have wanted to kill the person in front of him.

But the most important thing at the moment is to hurry up and dispose of Shen Ling.

Now that Shen Ling is only with two handmaidens by his side, he can escape the assassination of the assassins one after another, and he does not even leave any assassins alive, which is enough to prove Shen Ling's danger.

After this assassination of the temple, Shen Ling's vigilance will only get higher and higher, and if he wants to do something against Shen Ling in the future

I'm afraid it's not easy.

The Emperor stood up anxiously and paced back and forth in the room, the Commander of the Dark Guard still kneeling on the ground and not daring to come out.

After a long time, the emperor suddenly stopped and made a decision in his heart.

Since his manpower can't kill Shen Ling, he can only invite professional people to come.

"You go and contact the assassination organization on the rivers and lakes and let them deal with Shen Ling."

The Dark Guard Commander stood up, "Men obey."

However, the emperor still seemed to be a little uneasy, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, the emperor thought for a while and said, "Contact Concubine Lan, ask her to poison Shen Ling, and cooperate with the invited killers to act together, be sure to be foolproof."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, the secret guard retreated, and secretly contacted the high-ranking assassination organization on the rivers and lakes according to the emperor's request, gave Shen Ling's information to the other party, and notified Concubine Lan to cooperate with the killer's action.

A day passed, with the help of Concubine Lan, the killer of the assassination organization was successfully disguised as a maidservant and sent to Concubine Lan.

Concubine Lan also received various poisons sent by the Dark Guard Commander, as well as the corresponding antidotes.

In the afternoon, Shen Ling stayed in the room after praying for the blessing, she sat in front of the bookcase by the window, holding her chin and looking out of the room.

The sky was very gloomy, dark clouds had accumulated a thick layer, and the wind blew the branches of the trees, and many branches and leaves were dropped.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Shen Ling muttered, "It seems that the sky is about to change."

As soon as Shen Ling's words fell, the peony walked in.

Peony rushed at Shen Lingfu, "County Lord, Concubine Lan is here."

Shen Ling hummed lightly, withdrew his gaze from the window, and walked out of the inner room with the peony.

Concubine Lan was already sitting there waiting, and she didn't carry any maidservants with her.

"Why is Concubine Lan here?"

Seeing Shen Ling, Concubine Lan immediately got up and walked over to take Shen Ling's hand, "This palace has urgent matters that need the assistance of the county lord, and I ask the county lord to come with the palace quickly."

Shen Ling dodged sideways, "I don't know what happened? Please explain in advance."...

A touch of coldness flashed in Concubine Lan's eyes, she withdrew her hand, and her face had an anxious expression, "It's not easy to talk here, you go with the palace, and you'll know when the time comes."

Since Shen Ling forced Concubine Lan to punish Xiao Qianqian before, Concubine Lan has stopped a lot, not counting the frequent attacks of assassins, Shen Ling has lived a leisurely life.

However, if there would be something that would make Concubine Lan come to her in such a hurry, Shen Ling didn't believe it.

Seeing that Shen Ling didn't speak for a long time, Concubine Lan was anxious.

"Oh, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and go with the main palace, it's too late."

Shen Ling looked at Concubine Lan with a smile, until Concubine Lan looked creepy and wondered if Shen Ling had discovered something, and then Shen Ling nodded.

"Let's go."
