Chapter 104: The Imperial Capital is just a stone's throw away

Even in the back streets and alleys where there are few people, there are a few sturdy burly men in black suits, one of whom is still naked and his upper body is so hot, it can provoke good onlookers in a moment.

When Peng Xiu and the others arrived quickly, they saw a group of men and women who were pointing at the men on the ground and watching the good deeds, and they were still talking in whispers.

The neighing of the fast horses disturbed them, and they hurriedly turned around to see Peng Xiu on the horse's back, and they were so frightened that they retreated. Peng Xiu dismounted and silently began to check the people on the ground.

Robert and Miga, and Mi Jian also quickly rushed over and picked up a few for Peng Xiu and Robert to see.

"Are these our spies, are they badly wounded?" asked Miga.

"These four are our people, and two of them are sent here to keep an eye on the Streamer Pavilion. The other two are liaisons. The other party's subordinates showed mercy and did not hurt their lives, even if it seemed to be a penetrating wound, they did not hurt their internal organs, and they could be saved. But you have to carry it back quickly. Robert frowned and pointed to four of them, all of whom were his direct subordinates.

"Those two are my people. Lance pointed to something else. "I think it was your people who came to help, but it didn't work. ”

While Lance was saying this, the naked man he was referring to woke up. It was probably not seriously injured, and he was woken up by the cold. As soon as he woke up, he subconsciously touched his bare arms and chest. When the people saw that he was awake, they hurried to move to his side first. He immediately saw Lance's face and tried to get up and salute, but the pain stopped him.

"Don't get up, tell us, what do you see?" Lance asked first in place of the eager crowd.

"We were originally at the other end of the Streamer Pavilion, and when we saw that His Highness's people were running towards this side, we followed. Who knows, when we came, His Highness's people had already fallen to the ground, and we had just stood firm, and before we had time to do anything, we were attacked by an orange light, and the people also fell. Before I fell to the ground, I could only see clearly that it was two women, one of whom was carrying a person on his back, and left us behind. ”

The two women carrying a man on their backs might not be able to go far, so they called someone to come and follow him in the direction he said. Peng Xiu said in a deep voice.

Miga and Mi Jian immediately got up, the two got on their horses, Mi Jian beckoned to the few people present, only two or three people were left to help, and the others got on their horses and went to look for them along the road, while Mi Jia had already run away in the direction of the mansion on horseback.

Just when Robert was urgently stopping the bleeding and treating several people, one of them also woke up, and it was from Peng Xiu's mansion.

"Your Highness, Lord Robert......"

"You lie down first, and I'll take you back to the house in a while. Tell us what's going on. Peng Xiu calmed his frustrated subordinates.

"There are too many people in and out of the Streamer Pavilion, so we will take turns with several observation points to monitor, and then two contacts will be replaced. The place we picked today is not far from here, but we didn't expect that Lord Sunshadow would be taken out from the opposite side of the Streamer Pavilion, and we were all shocked that we couldn't do it, so I used the dark whistle to summon all the people here. At that time, there were five of us, and we sent a little one to pass

Knowing that Master Robert was coming, the four of us went by ourselves. But unexpectedly, as soon as he ran over, before he could speak, he was attacked. It's useless to wait for subordinates, and finally found the traces of Lord Sunshadow, and saw two women carrying him, but before he could say a word, he was knocked to the ground before anyone could touch him. "It's impossible not to be depressed, they are also self-proclaimed elites, who know a cover, and fall without saying a word.

"Do you see his situation clearly?Is he seriously injured?" If it weren't for the fainting of the injury, Peng Xiu would never believe that the Sun Shadow would let a woman carry him, Peng Xiu thought of this, and asked tightly in his heart.

"Lord Sunkage seems to have shed a lot of blood, we smelled a stream of blood as soon as we arrived, and we didn't see much of it, but there were some large and small blood marks on my arms and face. We thought about stopping the two women, and before we could see too clearly, we ...... and we were about to cry.

"Where did you see them appear? Peng Xiu heard the answer of his subordinates, the green tendons in his fists were rising, almost biting his back molars, suppressing his anger, and spit out smoothly from his mouth word by word, he didn't want to blame his subordinates who had tried their best, they were also desperate for their lives. The anger in the heart is not directed against them.

"This is the building. The man who spoke reluctantly raised his hand and pointed diagonally behind him.

"You have a good rest. Peng Xiu got up and walked towards the single house. Lance followed.

"Xiao Xiu, don't be too anxious, people are still walking on their backs, which means that life is at least in sight. Maybe those two women should have come to save the little guy. Lance said soothingly.

Peng Xiu didn't answer, these reassurances didn't mean much to him, his anxiety, his sanity was almost out of control with the passage of time, and he didn't want to say a word at this time, he just walked quickly to the hut that his hand was referring to.

This detached house has its back to the street and a yard, which retains a bit of tranquility in the bustling street. And his back is facing the Streamer Pavilion. Who would have thought that people would abandon a place like the Streamer Pavilion, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, full of traps and labyrinths, as a stronghold, and hide people in a private house on the opposite side of the prosaic place.

At this time, the courtyard was still quiet, as if it was not disturbed by the killing not far away, the young man in the courtyard tree was still singing, and the blooming red hollyhock in the garden also attracted butterflies and bees to surround it.

Peng Xiu was not in the mood to look at this, so he kicked open the brown wooden door, and the doorbell behind the door was pulled down vigorously and thrown on the ground, ringing crisply.

There was no one in the house, and after kicking the door vigorously, no one came out, but out of nowhere a big black cat came out of nowhere and ran out neighing. The furnishings in the house are not much different from those of everyday people, the dining room, there seem to be traces of tea on the delicate teacups, and the cuckoo clock in the living room is still jumping out and cooing. Everything was peaceful, as if it had broken into some wrong space.

"Xiaoxiu, come and see. Lance had already scurried upstairs and called out to Peng Hugh to enter his study.

In the study, the curtains were tightly closed during the day, and it was dark

The dim wall lamp, when the door opened, the light overshadowed the light in the room, and the figure pulled a long shadow on the floor. A burst of medicinal incense mixed with some bloody qi spread out of the room, reaching the nostrils.

Peng Xiu stepped in, and he couldn't help frowning at the taste. It was as if it was a ghost's room. On one wall of the book, instead of paper, ink, pen and inkstone, there was a table of bottles and jars, and a small medicine stove, and there was even some residual temperature in the medicine stove.

"What the hell is this, why do I think this bottle is blood?" Lance held up a clear vessel, the crimson liquid in the vessel still swaying slightly.

Peng Xiu took it, put it under his snort and asked. "It's blood. ”

"So what are you studying? I think this blood is still so fresh, you said it wouldn't be the little guy who smoked it. Lance asked, with a big brain open.

It's not that it won't be, but it's definitely going to be. What Moses told is happening, is there anyone else in this generation who suffers from the disease of extermination? Peng Xiu looked through some small pieces of paper and documents in confusion, looking for some remaining clues. But most of the paper is full of pictures, and there are few words.

"Uncle, maybe it's the blood of the Sunshadow. They need blood to sustain their lives. My ghost rescued a scholar, Moses, who knew a lot about Morton's past and said things we didn't know. You can go and meet him. Peng Xiu explained directly.

"Impossible...... Although Morton is bad, he ...... "Is such an evil thing as sucking human blood to extend life a person he knows something that Lance couldn't help but have a miserable excuse, but then stopped again.

"Let Moses tell you. Maybe he can answer any other questions you may have. Peng Xiu said as he put down his Chinese pieces and walked out. He wondered where Sunkage was being tortured.

Peng Xiu looked down. There is no hidden space to develop upwards, but they are all houses with underground storage rooms. He began to look on the first floor.

He found a drop of blood next to the ladder up against the wall. Peng Xiu immediately leaned over. There seem to be some signs of sliding on the side of the wall. There's a secret door here.

Peng Xiu carefully observed the painting printed on the wall, among the many flowers, there was a hollyhock, which was different from the others, it seemed to be more three-dimensional and more vivid.

The door opened effortlessly. It's a downward corridor. A layer of ash and blood struck. Peng Xiu walked down without hesitation.

The whole underground was hollowed out, and a huge black metal box was entrenched in the center, and from the edge of the metal box extended some grooves and closed pipes, half-embedded in the ground, from the box to the edge wall, embedded in the wall, and I don't know where it extended.

At this time, one side of the black box, the side with the door opening and closing, has been cut in half by the unknown sharp weapon, and it has fallen horizontally on both sides of the inside and outside.

Peng Xiu could already smell the bloody breath as soon as he came down the stairs, and when he got closer, the bloody breath almost came to his face.

The shadow of the sun is shut up in a place of concealment.

Peng Xiu looked at the black box cell, surrounded by metal nails, the fluorite glowing in the dark corner, the untouched scraps not far behind the door, the broken cloth hooked on the wall, the wall, the fresh blood stains on the ground that had not dried up, and his heart ached.

Under his nose, in the place where he was close, Sunshadow was locked up in such a small dark room, like a lamb to the slaughter, slowly suffering from being sucked of essence and blood, but he knew nothing, could not do anything. Even if she is such a strong guy, is she resentful of him at this time? He himself resented his own powerlessness. He thought he could do anything, but he was like a waste.

"Hugh, your hand, take it away. Lance came down from the stairs and approached, and saw Peng Xiu's hand slamming against the wall of metal nails, which were like bloodsucking worms frantically pumping out the tiny blood. He hurriedly opened Peng Xiu's hand and said.

"What are you doing. Just look at the situation here, at least the little guy was rescued. The priority now is to find someone to go somewhere again, not to hurt yourself here. Lance said angrily.

"Uncle, this matter won't just end up like this. I want them to pay. Peng Xiu said word by word, his tone seemed to be completely calm, calm and unwavering.

But Lance knew that this was Peng Xiu's reaction after he was furious, and this time, this incident completely angered Peng Xiu and challenged his bottom line. He will definitely pursue it to the end. And what these people will pay is undoubtedly the price of their lives.

So what role did his former brother, his current enemy, Morton, play in it?
