372 Poisonous corpses

Will sleep directly on the floor and sleep with the marquis, and now the other party has taken the initiative to invite him, and he is with Zhang Lingyunyi.

Under the leadership of the purple-clothed warriors, the two thoughtful people slowly came to the side hall to prepare for dinner.

"Lord Andrey, the dishes are ready, and if you need it, the kitchen is ready to be on standby!"

The purple-clothed warrior looked at the table of food that had been prepared, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, clenched his fists and lightly hammered his chest and leaned back, leaving the two of them to taste the food quietly.

"Sauce chicken, assorted Su plate, soft fried tenderloin, vinegared pork slices, three fresh mulberry soup, shredded yam, bergamot sea cucumber, eight crispy hazelnuts,

Today is a bit of a rush, their dish is a little simpler, I'll ask the kitchen to make you some delicious food now!"

Seeing that Zhang Lingyun was sitting next to the table and did not move his chopsticks, the masked boy comforted him in a slightly uneasy whisper, and suddenly got up and walked out of the door.

"The food is very good, but I am riddled with trivial things around me, and I don't have much appetite!"

"Everyone, friends, if there is anything difficult, you might as well say it, with my current strength...... It should help!"

Seeing that the other party finally spoke, the masked boy was not pretentious, turned around and sat upright at the table, like a well-behaved puppet, quietly doing the duty of companionship.

"Most of the other things can be taken care of, but now I'm just curious about what happened to him?"

"Ji'an, is the portrait recognizable?"

The strength of the 'Iron-Blooded Secret Guard' Marquis Andrey was very clear, and the reason why he didn't let everyone identify it on the spot was just to let Zhang Lingyun, who had been busy all day, have some food.

In today's situation, we can only waste these delicious foods with good color and flavor, and solve the depression in someone's heart first.

"Back to Lord Andrew, there have been three people who have seen the son in the portrait, and they are waiting outside!"

Hearing the young master's question, the gray-clothed warrior Ji An suddenly appeared, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned three hidden guards and waited outside the house for the instructions of Lord Marquis Andrey.

"Come in...... Talk back!"

Different from the ease and complacency when he had a private conversation with Zhang Lingyun, the appearance of the secret guard made the momentum around the masked boy suddenly turn cold, as if he was a king on top, giving people a sense of not being angry and arrogant.

"Subordinate, meet Lord Marquis Andrey......!"

As four strong men with strong bodies appeared, they saluted with their fists and arms lightly hammered their chests, and the low but awe-filled greetings sounded one after another.

"There are no outsiders here, tell me about this person in detail in the past few days!"

The slightly flirtatious hem crossed the table sideways, and the masked boy with the surging majesty around him slowly walked past several secret guards.

Seeing that everyone consciously bowed their heads slightly to show their submission, the masked boy reined in his prestige in vain, as if nothing had happened, and sat back beside Zhang Lingyun, waiting to hear the story.

"Lord Andre, since the beginning of this competition, it seems that overnight, several shops selling 'Nine Nations Competition Tickets' have appeared on the streets of the capital.

Originally, it was just a shop with no special significance, but its non-stop sales around the clock are breathtaking......

The people of the capital, who were already panicking because of the entry of many countries into Beijing, always paid attention to any information related to the Fanbang mission, and were deeply afraid that a major national event would affect the safety of everyone's small family.

Shops that sell 'Nine Nations Athletic Tickets' use this as a breakthrough point, but if you buy a certain amount of 'Athletic Tickets', you can learn about the progress of each country's competition in real time through special channels.

Many ignorant people, although they don't care about national affairs, are attracted by the super high odds of competitive tickets, and they also gather around the store all day to listen to the news, and the poisonous centipede is the more active one among them.

Dressed in ordinary attire, the Poison Flame Centipede stands inconspicuously in the crowd, but his figure is always intentionally or unintentionally around the shopkeeper.

"The specific process, I just care about his life and death now?"

Listening to the secret guard's detailed explanation process, Zhang Lingyun couldn't help the impatience in his heart, and whispered to Marquis Andrey what he thought.

"Tell me directly about the outcome!"

Seeing Zhang Lingyun clenching his fists and staring at the secret guard extremely nervously, the masked young man waved his hand and warned everyone to speak concisely and to the point as soon as possible.

"Three days ago, we were keeping a close eye on the movements of those shops, as usual, when this boy suddenly appeared, following the head of the shop...... ,”

The poisonous centipede followed the principal alone, and after skirting the small half of the long street, he came to the porch located outside the noon gate.

The principal entered the palace gate with the token of the peace mission, while the poisonous centipede was stopped outside the noon gate due to identity problems.

Under normal circumstances, he would have given up tracking and quietly left, but this poisonous centipede was very stubborn, and actually sat down in the teahouse not far from the noon gate.

Soon after, there was an earth-shattering explosion outside the noon gate, and because of the suddenness of the shock, almost in the blink of an eye, everything in the kilometer realm was destroyed.

"Heguo, Heguo!!...... Watching him die with your own eyes?"

Hearing that the principal was actually holding the token of the Peace Mission, Zhang Lingyun rushed to the sky with anger, clenched his fists and stared at the Italian soldier who spoke, and asked what he cared about the most.

Seeing Zhang Lingyun standing up tremblingly, his voice trembling slightly, the masked boy quietly approached Zhang Lingyun's side, in case he was too excited and had an accident.

"Returning to Gongzi, whether this Gongzi is dead or not, we haven't seen it with our own eyes, but no one around has seen him leave!"

"The explosion outside the noon gate is too vain, and the more than ten secret guards whose combat effectiveness is not inferior at all are dead in this explosion!"

"The incident happened suddenly, and many things didn't have time to react, so please mourn the son!"

The secret guard, who has always taken seeking truth from facts as his duty, felt sad for the news he brought, and bowed his head slightly to mourn for the dead man.

"Everyone has worked hard! Let's go and rest after eating!"

Andeli, who felt that Zhang Lingyun's body was unstable, waved his hand and grabbed Zhang Lingyun's wrist, put it on his shoulder, and dragged the person away from here and walked towards the pond in the side yard.

"Yes! Ordinary people with mortal bodies, even if they have some magic skills, how can they escape the ferocious self-explosion of that divine beast!"

In the face of the testimony of so many people, the already fragile little hope in Zhang Lingyun's heart was instantly shattered, and he followed the masked boy in a trance to this relatively quiet space.

"Sad and sad...... Cry out, there's no one here, I can leave if I need to!"

For the death of his brother who was born and died, Andre seemed to empathize, and there was a sense of loneliness all over his body, which made Zhang Lingyun suddenly cry a little uncontrollably.

"Lord Andrew, there is news from the secret guard, and many of the directors of the 'Nine Nations Athletic Ticket' are now heading out of the city, as if they are going to attend some kind of party!"

After just a few bites of food, he received the latest news from the Secret Guard, and Gian, fearing that he would delay the Marquis of Andrey, hurried to the arch of the side courtyard and reported the latest discovery loudly.

"Those who are in charge, there should be people who your friends have followed, do you want to follow me to see and avenge your friends!"

was worried about how to alleviate Zhang Lingyun's boring mood, so he took the initiative to send it to the door without a long eye.

Marquis Andrey naturally won't let them go easily, after all, the death of the poisonous centipede is inseparable from them.

"This ...... , will it cause you trouble?"

"Don't worry, the emperor is still living in the 'Summer Palace' temporarily, and most of the officials in the capital are also living in the suburbs.

Regarding this situation, Zhang Lingyun still considered his own safety, which made Andre very moved, and then comforted the other party softly.

Seeing that Zhang Lingyun's lonely mood gradually dissipated, and his eyes were full of wisps of essence, the masked young man directly pulled Zhang Lingyun's wrist and walked towards the back door of the small courtyard.

............

"At five o'clock in the morning, the dusk drum has been beaten, and the city gate is closed...... No travel!"

"I'm waiting for the envoy of Naihe to come to Beijing, and I was ordered to go to the Summer Palace to deliver tonics, so you can open the door as soon as possible, don't miss the matter of the nobles in the palace!"

"What noble person will summon your Fanbang envoy in the middle of the night, don't talk about it and cause trouble!"

"Come here, sparse ......!"

Zhang Lingyun, who had already changed into a black dress, was in the Subu carriage at the moment, holding the black tea that Marquis Andrey had just brewed by his side, savoring it.

Listening attentively to the Italian soldiers outside, whispering to the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, thinking about helping everyone out of the city gate so quietly.

But he didn't want the officers and soldiers to seem to have heard some secrets, and in vain they went against the norm, and they respectfully bowed to the Italian soldiers, and respectfully sent everyone out of the city.

"I was very fair and honest just now, but when I saw the money, I lost my principles!"

Zhang Lingyun, who was accustomed to the wave of operations in front of him, looked at the Marquis of Andrey, and felt that the actions of the officers and soldiers guarding the city were very vulgar, and he was embarrassed.

"You really wronged those little soldiers, they are very loyal to their duties, but they don't dare to delay...... His Majesty the Emperor's bed is just a big deal!"

While speaking, Marquis Andre took out a brocade box, which was the same as the thing in the hand of the Italian soldier just now, put it at Zhang Lingyun's feet, and motioned for the other party to open it by himself.

"Bed...... What does this big event have to do with this ...... 'Ten Acts of Spring Breeze Dispersion'?"

"This ...... , and the people of the country came to Beijing this time, but a large amount of tribute was paid to this thing, and I heard that taking this pill can make a man want ten women in one night!"

For Zhang Lingyun to get to the bottom of it, but he didn't want to pick up the text inside, he had to explain it to him in a low voice.

"Hehe, amazing, really amazing!"

Zhang Lingyun, who was untouched, was shocked by Andre's straightforward explanation at this time, and his face was as ashamed as a freshly picked peach, and it seemed to be as red as if he could pinch out water.

"Lord Andrew, the crowd has entered the house!"

Slowly stopping the carriage, the black-clad secret guard quietly approached, waved his fists and beat his chest to salute the car, reporting the latest information from the investigation.

"Leave the man in the painting with him, and the others will dispose of it at will!"

Through the bamboo curtain of the carriage, looking at the brightly lit houses not far away, the masked boy tightly pulled Zhang Lingyun's slightly moving figure, and gave the attack order to the Italian soldiers outside the car in a cold voice.

"Commanded ......!"

With the sound of rustling, the sound of wind whistles in the void jumped over the carriage and rushed towards the house not far away.

"This matter started because of me, it is not easy for you to send me out of the city, I really dare not bother you to help!"

"You and I are not related by blood, but there is a feeling of hatred at first sight, they dare to calculate you, they are enemies of me, and the entire Italian nobles are enemies!"

Seeing Zhang Lingyun stretch out his hand and break his fingers, insisting on getting out of the car and doing it himself, the masked boy immediately flashed his figure.

Relying on his tall figure, he blocked the curtain of the car and expressed his thoughts sincerely about what he wanted to do for Zhang Lingyun.

"Ping-pong, ping-pong ......!"

Just when the two were still arguing about whether to do it, the sound of blades colliding one after another was faintly heard.

"Whoosh......!"

The whistle of the wind, like a sharp blade cutting through the void, struck the carriage from far and near.

The masked young man who listened to the strange appearance of the outside world with his ears up, as if he had noticed something, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed Zhang Lingyun's wrist in vain and fell back.

In the carriage, which was not very spacious, the two of them looked very cramped as soon as they came out, and in the face of the sudden move of the Marquis of Andrey, Zhang Lingyun didn't know how to react at all.

At this moment of pause, Zhang Lingyun had lost his balance and slammed into the chest of the Marquis of Andrey, and then the two of them fell to the ground again.

"Ah......h

Zhang Lingyun, who was firmly surrounded by Marquis Andrey's chest, listened to the involuntary exclamations of the people under him, and just wanted to get up to check the current situation, he was driven by the masked boy to turn around, and the whole person rolled down on the grass on the side.

At this moment, Zhang Lingyun, who was confused, inadvertently swept the carriage beside him, looking at the existence of arrows like a hedgehog, and couldn't help but gasp.

If it weren't for the protection of the Marquis of Andrey just now, he would have been injured by a moment of carelessness, and if there were some strange medicinal powder on that arrow, the consequences would be unimaginable.

When the rain of arrows finally came to an end, Zhang Lingyun slowly stood firm, looking at the crowd of people in the house not far away, and the shadows of swords and swords were overwhelming.

The anger in his heart turned into battle intent, and he waved his hand to draw a talisman in the void, wanting to help the group of bloody secret guards and solve the battle in front of him as soon as possible.

"Trust them, you don't have to do this little mess!"

"If you dare to sneak attack me, won't you let me fight back?"

Zhang Lingyun was very puzzled by Marquis Andre's obstruction, and the general drawing talisman in his hand was extremely embarrassing floating in the void.

"Zhang Gongzi's strength is extraordinary, if you attack with all your strength, you can end the battle with two or three moves, but have you ever wondered if that swaggering attack will attract the attention of others!?"

The young man in the mask bit his lower lip, reasoned with Zhang Lingyun in a soft voice, and watched the other party slowly lower his arm, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through, and I almost put everyone in danger!"

Zhang Lingyun, who has always been in the spirit of admitting his mistakes, took a few deep breaths to suppress the resentment in his heart, felt very guilty for his impulsiveness just now, waved his hand and clenched his fists and bowed, and solemnly apologized to Marquis Andrea.

"People are not sages, plants and trees are affectionate, if it weren't for them, they wouldn't let your friends be implicated, it's normal to be angry, but you have to judge the situation!"

The masked boy raised his hand and gently patted the back of Zhang Lingyun, who was in a depressed mood, trying to say something that would not be too much, but could appease the other party.

"Lord Marquis Andrea, that ...... , several of the 'Nine Nations Athletic Ticket' shop directors who were captured alive, they ...... I've committed suicide by poisoning!"

The purple-clothed warrior, whose clothes had been soaked in blood, waved his hand and beat his chest to salute the masked boy, and told the two of them the results of the battle.

"All...... Die...... That's so cheap for them!"

"Are any of us hurt by this?"

Seeing Zhang Lingyun being ruthless at home, the masked boy turned to face his subordinates, patted the other party's shoulder to show affirmation, and cared about the casualties of the 'Iron and Blood Secret Guard'.

"Back to Lord Marquis Andrea, this operation went very smoothly, no one was killed or injured in the battle, and none of the opponents escaped!"

The Italian soldiers, who have not been able to relax their muscles for a long time, have been holding back mushrooms for a long time, and they are very active about this operation, and many people on the way here are privately discussing the reward for the action.

"Okay, everyone's hard work! After going back, let the kitchen prepare some good wine and food, and each person will go to the treasury to pay fifty taels of silver!"

"Subordinate warriors who travel on behalf of you, thank you Lord Marquis Andrey!"

The purple-clothed warrior with bright eyes, hearing the reward equivalent to five months, could not hide the joy in his heart, and knelt down on one knee with a smile on his face to express his gratitude to Andre.

"Lord Andrew, there's something I'd like you to come and see alone!"

Just when the surrounding atmosphere was very happy, the gray-clothed soldier Ji'an quietly came to the masked boy and whispered softly after saluting.

"Zhang Gongzi, please wait here for a while, I'll come when I go!"

The masked boy who was not worried about Zhang Lingyun being alone left a few people to protect him, while he followed the warrior Ji'an towards the bloody house.

In the dim and damp blue brick house, a thick layer of plasma exists on the ground, and the walls are covered with unknown torture instruments such as leather whips, broken blades, and short rods, which make people involuntarily tremble slightly.

In the corner lay the corpses of three men with missing arms and legs, one of whom had a long sword stuck in his neck, and the death was very tragic.

"Dead bodies all over the ground, what's there to see?"

Andre, who didn't understand what Ji'an's move meant, stood near the door with a little disgust, looked at the various torture instruments that were very bloody inside, and asked in a slightly dissatisfied whisper.

"The sword at the man's neck should have been hit by himself during the battle, and he had countless injuries on his body, the joints on both sides of his hip bones were shattered, and his waist bone was also severely injured......!"

Listen to Ji'an's unusual way of doing things, and explain in such detail what happened to a dead man.

The masked boy had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, and looking at Ji'an's evasive gaze, Andre slowly walked towards the direction where the corpse was.

"This person looks very familiar...... How could it be...... Why? Didn't you see him come out?"

With the help of the dim candlelight, looking at the unfamiliar face, it is the same as the portrait of the poisonous centipede handed over by Ji'an.

The masked boy couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, staring at Ji'an beside him in disbelief, trying to find an answer from the other party's face.

The subordinates don't know why this is the result, and they have just asked the testimony of the three people again, and they have not seen this person out of the teahouse.

The only thing that feels strange is that the clothes this boy is wearing now are not the clothes he wore when he entered the teahouse that day, and there may be something inside them!"

As for the anger of the Marquis of Andrey, Ji An had already anticipated it, and as early as the discovery of the body, he called three secret guards to identify it and confirm various details.

At this moment, when faced with Lord Andre's questioning, Jia An was able to answer with peace of mind, and dissociated himself from those who had nothing to do with everyone.

"It's just the main business of a small country, even if you follow him with bad intentions, you won't suffer such a catastrophe!?

"Zhang Gongzi, please slow down, let me report to the Marquis, please ...... ,”

Just as Andre was entangled in why the poisonous centipede was tied up and subjected to such abuse, the voice of the Italian soldier outside the house interrupted the masked boy's thoughts.

"Stop him, can't let him ...... Come in!"

Before Andre's words fell, Zhang Lingyun's murderous figure broke in in vain, and walked straight to the side of the poisonous centipede as if no one was around.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, I'm just afraid that you will be impulsive and do some radical behavior!"

Seeing Zhang Lingyun leaning over and picking up the corpse of the poisonous centipede, without even giving himself a look, the masked boy felt as if someone had dug him up, and his heart was empty.

"Overkill...... I'm an ordinary cultivator, with a highly cultivated master on my head, and a timid emperor on top of me.

Even if I want to make some big waves, there are so many envoys waiting for me! I won't do anything, I just want to take him back and bury him alive!"

Just when Zhang Lingyun released his spiritual sense to probe the surrounding situation, and accidentally overheard the conversation between Ji'an and the Marquis of Andrey, he once thought of rushing into the Heguo Post House and killing all those people.

But thinking that those who were related to him were likely to be involved in the whirlpool of incomparably bloody violence because of this impulsive behavior, Zhang Lingyun couldn't make up his mind to give it a go.

"I'll accompany you!"

Listening to Zhang Lingyun's calm analysis and answer, Andre did not show any appreciation, but felt that Zhang Lingyun lived a very hard and forbearant life.

Since childhood, both parents have died alone, and it is difficult to find a place to stay, but because of the special physique, they are not loved by the master and others.

As an adult, he finally found an opportunity to go down the mountain to experience, and by chance he found the truth about the destruction of his hometown, but due to his own lack of ability, he did not dare to take revenge due to the overall stability of the country.

Nowadays, even the death of the brothers in life and death is because the enemy's forces are too strong, and many obstacles are in front of them, and they can only let the knocked out teeth be swallowed with flesh and blood.

"Thank you, Lord Andrey!"

At this moment, the fierceness in Zhang Lingyun's eyes became more and more intense, the flame of revenge in his heart had been completely stimulated, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a mad smile.
