Chapter 257: Vampires
Tian Mang was talking about the recent changes in the imperial court, and suddenly someone came and saw Gu Shengchao present, so he didn't say anything, but pointed to the camp of Yan Yifan, the owner of Baixian Village.
"Brother Gu later." Tian Mang said, got up and ran over with others.
Gu Shengchao noticed that there were many people outside the camp, as if they were worried about something.
After a long time, Tian Mang returned tiredly.
He sat on the straw mat and beat his legs, and said in a low voice: "Brother Gu is not an outsider, I will tell you the truth, the prince we protect, Yang Jimin, has been poisoned by someone for some time, and he has been overworked and unwell in the past few days, and we can only use our true qi to temporarily delay his condition."
"The dignified prince and the former prince, can't you invite a good Langzhong for treatment?" Gu Shengchao did not know the specific situation of the Sirleng Kingdom.
Tian Mang sighed and said: "Although Yang Jimin has been demoted from the crown prince to a commoner, after all, the power to support him still exists, there are too many people who want him to die, and the black hand behind him is invincible, it is said that before we took over to protect him, we experienced many assassinations, it was too difficult."
Gu Shengchao thought of Baili Huan, and said casually: "My brother-in-law is a master of detoxification, but it's a pity that in the Dawu Dynasty, far water can't quench the thirst of the near."
Tian Mang was pleasantly surprised: "Yes, according to our people, someone specially invited a divine doctor from the Dawu Dynasty, and he was on the way here, wouldn't it be your brother-in-law!"
Gu Shengchao laughed and said, "If that's the case, it's really too coincidental."
"I hope it's him!" Gu Shengchao lay down, he was thinking about the rebel brother, and he didn't know how far the relationship between Baili Huan and Xiang Hongji had developed.
The team protected the deposed prince Yang Jimin and moved forward cautiously, even if it took more time to detour, it would definitely not have any conflict with the imperial court, and ensure the concealment and safety on the march.
Tian Mang was familiar with the terrain, and under his leadership, he gradually moved away from the range controlled by the imperial court and got closer and closer to Phoenix Fort.
Bypassing the last town of the Xileng Kingdom, Gu Shengchao followed Yan Yifan to continue to protect Yang Jimin's march, while Tian Mang led some men and horses to travel back and forth between the town and the team, providing the guarantee of daily necessities.
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, seven things to open the door, all of them are indispensable.
For a team of hundreds of people, the basic needs of eating, drinking, and Lazar every day are not a small consumption, and the farther away from the town, the more important the supply becomes.
In the evening of that day, when the team was stationed, Tian Mang also led the team back to the station.
Just when everyone was busy unloading, one person suddenly exclaimed, "Little San, where is Xiao San?"
"I talked to him a few times when we got out of town, and he must have been in the convoy, did he fall asleep in some car." Someone walked over and said disappreciatively.
"Little three, little three." Someone shouted, but no one responded.
Tian Mang also felt strange: "I definitely didn't leave him, I saw him on the way back."
After all the goods were unloaded, I rummaged through every car, but there was no figure of Xiao San.
Everyone split up to search, and there was no trace of him in the entire camp, as if a big living person had disappeared out of thin air.
In the evening, Tian Mang summoned everyone who transported the goods this time, and asked everyone to tell them about the last place they saw Xiao San.
Everyone, you and I said a word, and based on everyone's information, the last place I saw Xiao San was about ten miles away from the camp.
The driver who drove the car said, "Xiao San told me that he would wait for the next car, and he said that he had discussed it with the people in the next car and was going to have a few drinks in the evening, so he got out of my car."
The occupants of the latter car also admitted that they had left town for some loose drinking, and that they did have plans to drink alcohol.
However, they didn't see Xiao San, thinking that he had already returned to the camp.
Because the distance between the vehicles on the road is relatively close, it is convenient to protect and take care of each other, and only when they are about to return to the camp, everyone relaxes and gallops back as fast as possible.
As a result, the distance between vehicles is widened, and it is not guaranteed that everyone is in everyone's line of sight.
"I'll look for it, don't get lost and can't come back, it's not safe for wild beasts to come out at night." Tian recklessness
In a hurry, get up and go out.
Gu Shengchao followed: "I'll go with you, my mount has good physical strength and can run long distances."
The rest of the people also had to follow, Tian Mang stopped: "It's dark and you can't see the road clearly, one has already been lost, there must be no more mistakes, it is enough to be accompanied by the Gu brothers."
The two rode out of the camp and searched for them along the way they came.
In the vast twilight, there was still a trace of people, and after searching for a long time, they found nothing.
Gu Shengchao's perception was amazing, even so, except for the two of them, he didn't search for anyone's breath.
A big living person disappeared for no reason.
When the two returned to their station, they were both sullen.
Fortunately, the next few days went relatively smoothly and successfully found Phoenix Fort.
Gu Shengchao had Sima Xicheng's divine sense in his mind, and he was very familiar with the grass and trees here, but he couldn't tell others.
He first came to the deep pit where he met Sima Xicheng.
The magic vines inside had long since withered, turning into dust and melting into the dirt.
The terrifying big-headed monster is gone forever.
Tian Mang and the others saw the stone tablet standing on the martial arts training ground in the center of the castle, and the text on it recorded the hallucination of the magic vine, and he immediately led a group of people to set fire to the magic vine and weeds inside and outside the castle to avoid falling into the same illusion as last time.
Strange to say, since Sima Xicheng's death, the number of magic vines has decreased dramatically, and there are withered branches everywhere, and it is difficult to see living magic vines.
As a result, it was especially easy to burn, and there were raging fires all over the castle inside and outside the Phoenix Fort.
While everyone was busy, a miserable cry came from one of the relatively well-preserved houses in the castle:
"Hell, hell!"
Gu Shengchao was nearby, and he jumped over a few times, and met a person who rushed in a panic.
"This big brother, where is the ghost?" Gu Shengchao stopped him and asked.
The man's face turned pale from fright, and he pointed to an open house behind him and trembled, "Over there, junior, ghost."
From his incoherent words, Gu Shengchao vaguely felt that it was related to the junior who disappeared last time.
At this time, people who rushed to hear the news were crowded at the entrance of the alley.
Gu Shengchao waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look."
He is not afraid, but in the presence of many people, he can avoid a lot of unknown troubles.
After all, he is a newcomer, and he is not from the Sirloin Kingdom, so it is very easy to cause misunderstanding among others.
Near the open door, there was only a simple bed made of wooden planks, but it was clean and tidy, and it was clearly inhabited.
There was a man lying on the ground, his skin white with his robe exposed, and his eyes were wide as if he had seen something terrible.
There was a wound in his throat, and the flesh was turned outward, and it was bitten by something, specifically sucking the blood.
"It's a vampire, there really are ghosts."
"This is a forbidden place, we shouldn't be here, or we should leave."
Everyone was gossiping and talking, and they all showed a look of horror.
At the slightest movement, I looked over in fear, lest something terrible suddenly appear.
