Jialou City, North City, Zhu Mansion.

In the council hall, Zhu Junhao's face was extremely gloomy. One after another, he was already anxious.

Originally, in order to fight Bai Peng, he listened to Hu Ruyan's strategy, used Wu Yan as bait, went to Tianxiang Pavilion, lured Zhi Hu Yang out, and took the opportunity to solve him in one fell swoop. In his opinion, he took twenty ghost war horses and two black wind horse generals, plus Yuan Honglie and Zhu Jiufu in secret, and he and Hu Ruyan in the center, such a deployment was completely enough to deal with Nazhi Huyang.

Unfortunately, the truth was far from what he could have predicted. Others may not know, but he knows it. The killer of the Immortal Gate will never appear in Jialou City. In recent days, Zhu Junjie has been connected to the secret report, the Fairy Sword Sect, the Futu Palace, etc., especially the Futu Palace, which has launched an attack on several secret strongholds of the Demon Mansion in the Eastern Wilderness and Tianluo County the day before yesterday. This is the rhythm of igniting the flames of war, and at such a critical moment, the city of Jialou has long been heavily guarded, and every person whose behavior is suspicious has been secretly monitored by the night demon camp of the Governor's Mansion.

The Immortal Slashing Gate has long been listed on the list of the Demon Mansion's close monitoring, and the killer monks with a little reputation in its gate have all been listed by the commander of the Night Demon Army of the Demon Mansion and delivered to the Night Demon Camp Commanders of various castles.

Therefore, Zhu Junhao had already calculated in advance that if Bai Peng really wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Wu Yan, he would most likely send the insect demon who had never shown up under his command or Jin Wuming, who had always been by his side.

After all the calculations, Zhu Junhao definitely didn't expect that the dignified deputy commander of Jialou City, Lord Violet, this hateful woman, would actually turn into an assassin and assassinate Wu Yan with her famous stunt and magical powers.

And the co-ordination personnel Yuan Honglie and Zhu Jiufu, who were secretly deployed, were supported by this woman under various pretexts in advance.

He went to his eldest brother Zhu Junjie to roar and ask for an explanation. Zhu Junjie just said indifferently, "Why don't you go to her to theorize yourself?" and sent him away. Zhu Junhao was very suspicious, is this his biological brother?

Zhu Junyu because of Wu Yan's disappearance, now is too sad, this matter has aroused Zhu Junjie's great attention, for this reason also reprimanded his second brother, and a few days ago Zhu Junyu stole a large number of poisonous spiritual materials in the Tianji arsenal, Zhu Junjie was angry, put Zhu Junyu under house arrest, only to solve the matter of the Futu Palace, he would personally escort him back to Fengdu City, and she was not allowed to step into the north.

Because of this incident, Zhu Junhao has now fallen into a passive situation, coupled with the loss of Wu Yan, a master of using drugs, I am afraid that there is no need to participate in the demon mansion battle assessment this time, so as not to lose too badly and embarrassingly.

The more he thought about it, the more Zhu Junhao felt depressed and indignant in his chest, and glanced at the fox Ruyan next to him, a vicious plan was brewing in his heart unconsciously.

He twisted his eyebrows and was about to speak, but at this time, he heard the steward of the attendant outside the palace report to him at the door: "Second master, there is a person from outside the mansion, saying that he is your friend and wants to see you, I wonder if you want to meet you?"

Zhu Junhao was angry, and when he heard this, he immediately shouted: "Get out! In this Jialou City, who dares to call Young Master Ben a friend? If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful of your dog's head!"

The steward was startled, although he knew that the second young master had been in a bad mood recently, but thinking of the words of the man just now, he still had the courage to say: "Yes, yes! It's just that, second master, that person asked the villain to hand over this letter to you, and he said, you will definitely see him after reading it." ”

Zhu Junhao was furious, a subordinate dared to be so bold and presumptuous in front of him, and did not listen to his orders, which made him more and more anxious, but the habitual suspicion still made him hold back his anger, his eyebrows were twisted, he paced to the door, and said to the steward: "Bring the letter talisman!"

The steward hurriedly handed him a letter in both hands, and then cautiously stepped aside, waiting for his call.

Zhu Junhao took the letter talisman and did not immediately inject mana, but with a slight movement of his eyes, a divine sense had already swept over the letter talisman.

It's just a very ordinary messenger, and it hasn't been tampered with. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the corner of the letter symbol, and he saw that in the corner of the yellow letter symbol, there was a line of subtle transparent handwriting, which was difficult to find if he did not look carefully.

Zhu Junhao's gaze swept over the line of handwriting, and he immediately said to the other three people in the hall with an expressionless face: "Okay, let's stop here today." Stand down and come back tomorrow to discuss how to participate in the assessment battle. ”

The three of them were stunned in unison, Hu Ruyan's eyes rolled, and her eyes fell on the letter in Zhu Junhao's hand, but she didn't ask anything, just said goodbye and left.

Zhu Junhao took the letter talisman into his arms, and immediately walked out of the council hall and returned to his residence. A few moments later, he changed into extremely ordinary clothes and walked out again. He walked all the way through the courtyard and appeared at the gate of Zhu's mansion.

But seeing that on the empty square outside the house, the night breeze is blowing, and the shadows are gloomy, where is there anyone?

The strange thing is that Zhu Junhao was not surprised at all, let alone stayed, but an entourage did not carry it, and went directly out of Zhu's mansion, all the way to an area inhabited by mortals in the city and walked unhurriedly.

After walking around most of the circle in this mortal jurisdiction, Zhu Junhao is now walking to the high wall of the backyard called "Zhang Ji Iron Shop", but the door of this iron shop is closed, and the courtyard is also swaying and >loose

Zhu Junhao glanced around vigilantly, but did not find that he was being followed, and immediately dodged up and escaped into the backyard of this "Zhang Ji Iron Shop".

A few moments later, Zhu Junhao went and returned, but beside him, there was a young man in a dark green robe with an extremely ordinary face. Zhu Junhao glanced around with a strange look on his face, led this person to leave here in a hurry, and went straight to Zhu's mansion.

After returning to Zhu's mansion, Zhu Junhao arranged this mysterious young man in a separate courtyard. There were no attendants in it, and he gave a strange order that no one should come close to the courtyard for half a step.

The two conspired in this courtyard all night, and on the second day, Zhu Junhao looked like he did whatever he wanted.

This matter spread in the Zhu Mansion for a while, and everyone began to talk quietly in private, all secretly wondering who was in the single courtyard that would make Zhu Ergongzi value it so much.

During this period, even Hu Ruyan, who had always been most valued by Zhu Ergongzi, wanted to find out who was in the courtyard privately after learning about it, but she didn't expect that after Zhu Junhao learned about her move, she was mercilessly reprimanded by Zhu Junhao.

Since then, no one in the Zhu Mansion has dared to visit the single courtyard.

Seeing that the date of the start of the battle assessment was getting closer and closer, because Zhu Junhao's mood was restored, the atmosphere in Zhu's mansion was unprecedentedly relaxed. In the entire compound, it seemed that except for the other courtyard where the mysterious young man was, the rest of the place was as usual. However, what is strange to everyone is that Zhu Er Gongzi also issued a death order from the day the mysterious young man arrived, and no one was allowed to leave Zhu Mansion one step before the battle assessment.

So, as the battle assessment date got closer and closer, the reason why everyone's mood for Zhu Junhao and Zhu Ergongzi became better was all attributed to the mysterious young man in the single courtyard.

Because, just the day before the battle assessment, Zhu Junhao suddenly went to the Governor's Mansion in person, and changed the name of the original battle master "Imperial Spirit Poisoner", removing the word "Imperial Spirit" in front, leaving only the name "Poison Master". This move does not violate the rules of the battle assessment, even if Bai Peng knows about it, if he wants to find fault, there is no way. Therefore, everyone became even more curious about the mysterious young man called "Poison Master" who replaced the original "Spirit Poison Master".

This news reached Bai Peng's ears, and sure enough, Peng Gongzi was furious, he didn't get any news in advance about such an important thing that happened in the opponent's mansion. Originally, because of the good mood of getting rid of the "Spirit Poisoner", which was a big headache for him, he was really happy, but this moment was completely destroyed.

This newly emerged "poison master", Bai Peng's side didn't know anything about his identity and origin, and his methods were even more smeared. At such a critical moment, but not being able to find out the reality of the opponent is definitely a taboo in the art of war.

It's a pity that tomorrow is the day when the battle assessment officially opens, and the Zhu Mansion is now loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the guard is tight, if you want to find out the news of this person, no matter how he Bai Peng can do it, there is nothing to be done at this time.

......

In the middle of the night, in the inner courtyard of Zhu's mansion, the mysterious young man called "Poison Master" was in the single courtyard.

The mysterious young man who had always been rumored to be a mystery was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard at the moment, spitting out essence spiritual power at a gourd-shaped magic weapon in front of him, and his hands were constantly pinching, as if he was refining the gourd-shaped magic weapon in front of him.

On the ground in front of him, a thick layer of ash had piled up. These ashes are the remnants of the poisonous spirit material from which the essence of the toxin has been extracted.

At this moment, there was a strange poisonous grass that emitted a heavenly blood light, floating not far from the gourd magic weapon. There should have been five balloon-shaped grass seed fruits on this poisonous weed, but they had been removed at this time.

The blood light that rushed to the sky was emanated from the five thin stems and leaves that produced grass seed fruits. If you look closely, you can find that the five blood rays emitted by the five thin stems and leaves, like five arc-shaped sharp blood-colored blades, popped out of the stems and leaves, gathered in the air, and condensed into a strong blood light that soared into the sky.

The thick blood poisonous aura floated faintly in the blood-colored light. All the living plants and insects and beasts in the entire courtyard were silently turned into powder in the blood poison and evil qi that came out of this blood light. Such a strange and terrifying scene, if it is seen by outsiders, it will definitely be shocked and screamed. Because, the floating blood poison alone poisoned the living things in the entire courtyard into powder, and wouldn't it be even worse if it was swept away by the blood-colored arc-shaped blade-like blood poison and evil qi?-by:dasguoo|11329479084131178973|254->
