Chapter 139: By the Queen's Order
Fortunately, Zhou Yi finally lost his spirit and dissipated in front of everyone's eyes, which saved Zhou Li and Tang Guan's lives.
Of course, the main thing is to save Tang Guan's dog's life. At this time, she was hiding behind Zhou Li, grabbing the corner of Zhou Li's clothes, and looking at Zhu Qianyun with regret with a wary face, for fear that she would jump off the wall in a hurry and spoil herself directly.
"Don't worry."
Zhou Li carried the back of Tang Guan's fate, threw her to Zhu Qianyun in the other party's roar of "Zhou Li, you calculate me", and complained indifferently: "If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, you have to wait for death." β
"Thank you, Brother Zhou, your punishment will be spared."
Sweetly thanked Zhou Li, and then Zhu Qianyun lowered and said softly: "Xiaoguan, you can't run." β
Ignoring Tang Guan, who was gesturing to himself for help, Zhou Li stepped forward, looked at the corpse of the dead man, the knife, and shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"His mutation has a lot to do with this underground camp."
With Hou Jue's support, Qianhu slowly walked to Zhou Li's side, looked at the corpse of this dead man, the knife, with him, and said with a solemn expression: "If my expectations are right, this hundred imperial forest army should be..."
"It's fine."
Zhou Li came back to his senses, shook his head, and said calmly: "Looking at it now, these Imperial Forest Soldiers are dead when they die, and they are harmless. From the very beginning, it was very different from what we thought. β
"Huh?"
Qianhu was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "How can you say this?" β
"Senho-sama, what do you think, what is the strength of the Dead Man's Knife?"
Faced with Zhou Li's inquiry, Qianhu pondered for a moment, and then replied:
"Strong, but not as good as me."
"That's right."
Nodding, Zhou Li looked at the unwilling face of the dead man, the knife, and said softly: "Not only is the strength inferior, but the wisdom is also inferior, you say, why did such a person come to Beiliang?" β
In fact, this question is not asked by Qianhu, but by Mrs. Golden Snake, who is not here at all.
Zhou Li clearly remembered that when he first ambushed Li Ci and asked him for clues about the Golden Snake Gang, he got the clues that Mrs. Golden Snake trusted the most was the Six Demon Kings.
Among the six demon kings, there are two toad demons, two bat demons, a scorpion demon and a butterfly spirit, but there is no such dead man's knife. In other words, the Dead Man's Knife is not the right-hand man of Lady Golden Snake, and according to common sense, he should not be involved in this matter.
Moreover, the dead man's knife did not understand the danger of Beiliang, and it was impossible for Mrs. Golden Snake not to know. After all, her strength is entrenched in the thirteen cities of the Northern Ring Road, but there is only one city missing, is it because she doesn't like Beiliang and won't come? Obviously not, Mrs. Golden Snake obviously knew about the existence of the old pedant, so she didn't dare to touch Beiliang.
So the question is, if the matter of ghast jade is really extremely important and the stakes are very high, then why did Mrs. Golden Snake send a dead man's knife whose brains and strength are not enough to be worthy of this great task even though she knew that there were thousands of households and old scholars who "rebelled" in Beiliang?
In other words, how many people was Zhang Sohao deceived so that he could step into Beiliang with confidence and without hesitation, and wanted to serve Zhou Li and the others in one pot?
A hundred Imperial Forest Army, it seems like a lot, but even if the army formation is opened, it is not enough to perfectly destroy the dead man's sword. If you encounter an old pedant who has no scruples, the hundred Royal Forest Army will not be wiped out within five minutes, and it can only be said that there are not all the people who come. And most importantly...
"It's stupid."
With a sneer, Zhou Li's face was a little relieved, and he said to himself: "Zhang Sohao, you are really stupid and hopeless." β
"Until now, you didn't understand who was really trying to kill you."
"Why... Don't kill me yet. β
Zhang Suohao asked this sentence repeatedly, he didn't understand, since the victory was in hand, everything was in the other party's control. Why didn't the old pedant kill him, but still hung him here and ignored him.
At first, he thought that the other party was trying to torture himself. But after waiting for a few hours, the old scholar still drank tea and sang songs by himself, and did not take himself to heart at all.
Slowly, Zhang Sohao began to wonder if the other party was going to let him go. He felt that the old pedant was still worried, worried about how the court would explain if he killed him, and how his sister's side would calm her anger.
If that's the case...
"Let me go, I can make a blood oath."
Zhang Sohao slowly raised his head, with hope in his eyes, and said breathlessly: "I... If the matter is not investigated, Zhou Li and the others are safe and sound. If these 100 Imperial Guards are dead, I'll finish it. Empress Zhang, she will not be guilty, she... Will listen to me. β
For some reason, after hearing Zhang Sohao's words, the old scholar suddenly put down the teacup. Just when Zhang Sohao thought that he had found what the old scholar really wanted, he suddenly became excited.
"Don't worry, I made a blood oath directly, and the blood oath cannot be violated, you know, you know!"
Zhang Sohao looked at the old pedant in front of him, and said with tears in his eyes:
"I am the younger brother of Empress Zhang, the governor of the three provinces, if I die here, the court will investigate it, and my sister will not give up. You let me go, I'm going to turn myself in, I'm going to tell me my crimes, I'll keep you, no one will blame you, my sister will give you a reward, I didn't lie to you, she will listen to me, she will listen to me! β
Gradually, Zhang Sohao found that no matter what he said, the old man in front of him had that strange expression. It seemed to be laughing again, and it seemed to be sighing, and after a long time, Zhang Sohao fell silent. Because, he recognized that expression.
That was his favorite pose, but no one had ever done this to himself, so Zhang Sohao forgot this expression for a while, which was called pity.
Pity each other's stupidity, pity each other's future.
"Why this expression?"
An indescribable panic gradually appeared in Zhang Sohao's heart, and he looked at the old pedant's look of pity, as if his soul was about to be withdrawn, and he was extremely frightened.
"You say! Why are you taking pity on me! I obviously gave you a perfect path, everything is perfect! I'm going to turn myself in, Dali Temple will investigate my sins, why are you still pitying me, why?!!! β
Zhang Suohao shouted hysterically, but the old scholar still had no words.
After a long time, outside the courtyard, there was a sudden shout.
"The steward of the Zhang family in the capital, I want to see the old pedant!"
"Steward Zhang!"
After hearing that shout, Zhang Sohao's face suddenly bloomed with a light called hope, and he immediately shouted, "I'm here!" I'm here! Save me!!! Help me!! β
The door of Gotham was slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged man with elegant steps and a kind face walked up to the old pedant with a smile on his face, dressed in an ordinary robe. He didn't pay any attention to Zhang Sohao's voice behind him, but saluted respectfully at the old pedant, and then spoke:
"Please sir give this man to me."
Zhang Sohao opened his mouth excitedly, wanting to say something, but only the sound of excitement remained. He was like he was in a desperate situation, and his eyes were full of light at this time.
"Over to you?"
The old scholar didn't seem surprised by Steward Zhang's appearance, he raised his eyes and asked boredly, "What are you doing here?" β
"He's here to save me, he's here to save me!"
Zhang Sohao was ecstatic and kept shouting. He looked at Steward Zhang, as if he saw his biological parents, and he was only grateful.
"By the Queen's Order..."
Bowing to the old pedant again, and raising his head, Steward Zhang smiled and said:
"Kill Zhang Sohao."
Mom, I went to the toilet and my feet were numb and I stood violently, and it still hurts, today's double watch, buddy really can't bear it, and I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to see if there is a bone problem.
