Chapter 4: The Living Dead
The two of them glanced at each other, both curious. Lu Mingdu has been driven home by the emperor to rest, and he is not far from losing power, how can he still have such a confidential posture?
What kind of people will come to Lu Ming to talk to?
Que Wan'er then whispered in Ling Ye's ear: "Lan Tai!"
Ling Ye knew that she was the Prince of Lantai. In terms of differences in supporting the next generation of monarchs, the imperial capital is divided into two factions: the blue faction and the witch faction. The Wu faction is headed by Marshal Wu Peng, and although the blue faction is to support the prince of Lantai as the primary goal, because the prince of Lantai is a prince who is divided into foreign places, the leader in the imperial capital is Lu Ming.
Therefore, if Lan Tai came to find Lu Ming, it seemed quite possible. Otherwise, who else would put on such a tight posture?
Ling Ye also whispered, "It looks like it!"
Que Wan'er pursed her lips and asked, "It seems that the defense over there is very tight, do you have any way to get over and listen to them?"
Ling Ye thought for a moment. It is definitely not okay to set fires, and when people see that someone is setting a fire, they will know that someone is making trouble with them, and they will naturally stop talking secretly. Tricks such as throwing stones and asking for directions will not work, people will know at a glance that someone is playing ghosts, and only fools will be fooled.
In a word, as long as you alarm the other party, don't think about eavesdropping.
Ling Ye pondered for a while before he said, "Looking at this posture, we can't go over and eavesdrop." But why do they have to eavesdrop? When they finish their secret talks and everyone is gone, their precautions will naturally be relaxed. Let's go to Lu Ming and ask Lu Ming when we get there, is it okay?"
Que Wan'er laughed in a low voice: "You are very open-minded." Okay, let's just wait! ”
The two lurked quietly in the trees. No matter who Lu Ming was talking to, they always had to eat, drink, and sleep, and they would always finish talking, and then the two of them would grab Lu Ming and ask, what was so difficult to know?
Although there were two teams of cross-patrolling guards who would pass under the tree every once in a while, both of them were silent, how could the guards have imagined that there were already people lurking in this tree?
After a long while, the two of them suddenly snorted at the same time and involuntarily squeezed Petts's hand. Que Wan'er immediately let go of her hand and said in a low voice: "Stinky rascal! If you touch my hand again, I will chop off your feet!"
Midnight: "......"
You also pinched my hand, why didn't I chop your foot?
But this is not the time to argue about this point. Both of them narrowed their eyes slightly, staring carefully at somewhere in the distance, for fear of missing something.
It was a group of rather tall people, who were slowly walking out of the shadows under the guidance of a Rao holding a lantern, and slowly walked towards Lu Ming's hall with this Rao footsteps. Although they seemed to be quite numerous, they were very quiet, and there was no sound at all except for the sound of footsteps
The two looked at each other carefully for a while, Que Wan'er's eyes were sharp, she saw it first, and whispered to Ling Ye: "Although these people are tall, they are pale, and they look very dull when they walk, not like living people, but like ......."
She accentuated her tone slightly and said, "Dead!"
Ling Ye nodded, looked at it for a while, and said in a low voice: "Not only dead people, but also very obedient dead people! Or okay, this is a group of living dead!"
The two looked at each other, and their eyes showed confusion.
If it was really Lu Ming and Prince Lantai who met and had a secret talk, what did they want such a high-profile dead man for?
Don't...... These living dead were raised by Lu Ming, they were prepared for Prince Lantai, and they were prepared for the use of force for Prince Lantai to seize the throne and ascend the throne?
If that's the case, Lu Ming gave it so solemnly in order to show off to Prince Lantai so that he could ask for credit from him?
The group of living dead followed the man in front of them, slowly emerging from the shadows and slowly climbing the stairs. They walked in a rather peculiar way, with their shoulders towering, their hands straight in their pockets, their shoulders slightly raised, as if they were ready to jump up and start fighting.
Ling Ye looked at it for a while, remembered something in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh softly, and whispered in Que Wan'er's ear: "Iron wolf!"
Que Wan'er understood what he was. In the Wolf Guard training camp in Yongzhou, that Humpty Dumpty called the Ghost Doctor painstakingly made living people into iron wolves. Those iron wolves are not only wrapped in steel armor all over their bodies, but they are also stimulated with "soul power" in some special way, not only are they as powerful as oxen, but they also have no soul, and will only obediently obey the orders of the lord.
Right now, this team of tall and powerful "living dead" who walk in a very strange posture is a team of "iron wolves" who are not wearing full-body armor!
Lu Ming, this bad old man who seems to be vulnerable, secretly cultivated a group of such living dead?
Ling Ye couldn't help but be a little secretly frightened. This old man's city is deep enough, and he has never seen these living dead before, no doubt because it is really not enough to let these living dead come to the world, and the consequences of premature exposure are naturally disgusting for him. And he is doing things for the Prince of Lantai, and he wants to support the Prince of Lantai, so until the Prince of Lantai comes to him in person to talk to him in secret, he will let people lead him out and show it to the Prince of Lantai.
Que Wan'er whispered in Ling Ye's ear again: "This proves that it must be Lan Tai who is talking to Lu Ming secretly." Moreover, Lan Tai was not very satisfied with Lu Ming, so Lu Ming was in a hurry to show these living dead to Lan Tai, so that Lan Tai understood that he did not eat or work in vain. Hehe, of course this is the result of your public humiliation of Lu Ming!"
Ling Ye nodded, but he didn't dare to speak. Although Que Wan'er wanted to kill him before, now that she has released her suspicions, she is very friendly to him. Ling Ye has only recently seen her side as a girl, sometimes laughing, sometimes dignified, sometimes smiling, sometimes resentful, gambling is changing, making him simply at a loss.
In the face of such a girl, and after all, there was guilt for killing someone's father, Ling Ye always felt that he had become very stupid, and he didn't know what was good about being stupid. At this time, Que Wan'er whispered in his ear, and the unique aroma of the girl's house wafted into his nose, which made Ling Ye's face red and red, and his whole body was hot, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
His gaze wandered wildly for a while, and then he suddenly sighed, stretched out his finger and pointed into the distance, and said, "Do you see? There is still a man crouching on the roof there, also watching the living dead!"
