Chapter 77: Foregone conclusion
When the woman in plain clothes landed, all the sergeants present seemed to be frozen in time, standing there blankly. Even the wounded soldier on one side seemed to have forgotten the pain in his body and looked at them without blinking. The woman who fell from the sky like a fairy.
In fact, we can't blame these flat-headed soldiers, because this woman in plain clothes is so beautiful, her fair and moist skin is moist and shiny, her big bright eyes are pure and lovely, and her slim figure looks proud of everything. She is said to be a goddess in the sky. It's not an exaggeration to say that the fairy from Yaochi was reincarnated when he descended to earth. The soldiers were all dumbfounded and drooling when they saw him.
But unlike those sergeants whose eyes were shining and almost staring out, Lingji Marquis Liao Ze was much calmer. When he saw the woman slowly bowing to him, he only opened his eyes slightly and looked at it, and then returned to his original state, calmly said:
"Just come and get up,"
"My little lady, I obey," Zilan replied softly, then stood up, glanced at Liao Ze, and then said softly: "It's so late at night, I wonder why the Marquis is so anxious to recruit the little girl."
"It's nothing serious. I just want to ask you whether you knew this person before," Liao Ze didn't make any detours with Zi Lan. He pointed directly at Wu Ming's body on the ground and said to Zi Lan.
Zilan looked in the direction that Liao Ze pointed, and then she found a bloody corpse lying behind her. Zilan looked at it carefully, and suddenly there was a trace of reluctance and regret in her eyes, but in an instant Then he disappeared without a trace, put on an indifferent expression, and said to Liao Ze:
"It's so late. Could it be that the Marquis asked the little girl to identify the body? It's too baffling." After saying that, Zi Lan put her hands behind her back and her face became very unhappy.
However, Liao Ze seemed to have expected Zi Lan's reaction. Instead of comforting him, he showed a sly smile on his face. Then he took out a half-palm-sized light green jade token from his arms and faced Zi Lan. Lan continued:
"This is what I found in the corpse of the dog just now. The Holy Lady of Suwen's Huaqing Pavilion is well-informed and I dare to ask what this jade token is."
When Zilan heard what Liao Ze said, she turned around. The moment she saw the jade token, a trace of panic suddenly flashed across Zilan's face, but it was covered up by a calm expression in the blink of an eye. However, even such a small change did not escape Liao Ze's eyes. However, Liao Ze pretended not to see it and still held up the sign for Zi Lan to identify it.
At this time, Zilan already knew what Liao Ze was thinking, and she also knew that this old guy was beginning to doubt her. If she said that she didn't recognize the brand, this old guy would definitely have a showdown with her here. With his unfathomable martial arts skills, Zi Lan turned her head and reached out to take the jade token. She looked at it carefully for a few times and suddenly turned pale with fright and shouted to Liao Ze. :
"Master Marquis, if the young lady admits it correctly, this brand... this brand is from the 'Secret Shadow Camp'," After saying that, Zi Lan paused for a moment, and then whispered to Liao Ze with a serious face:
"There are people from the imperial court in the Hou Mansion,"
When Zilan said this, Liao Ze's face changed slightly, and his squinted eyes opened a few times. It wasn't that Liao Ze felt guilty when he heard the word "court", but that he didn't expect the plain clothes in front of him. The woman's mind was so deep, but in an instant, Liao Ze returned to normal and asked with a little surprise:
"Oh, how can I say this?"
"This is the token of the secret organization 'Secret Shadow Camp' that the current emperor established in his early years. This 'Secret Shadow Camp' once helped the current emperor seize the throne. Therefore, after the emperor ascended the throne, he relied more heavily on the 'Secret Shadow Camp' to recruit all kinds of masters. Join it, and specially use high-quality jade materials to carve this token to match the members of the camp as a symbol of status.
We, Huaqing Pavilion, were harmed by the Secret Shadow Camp and fell to where we are today, so even if the little girl burns him to ashes, she will recognize it," Zilan said at the end, that was His eyes widened with anger, he gnashed his teeth, and wished he could skin the so-called "Secret Shadow Camp", twitch its muscles, eat its flesh, and drink its blood.
But Liao Ze quietly watched Zilan's every move from the side without saying a word. After Zilan finished speaking, he pointed at Wu Ming's body and said lightly:
"This Wu Ming is from the imperial court. I have known it for a long time. However, because of the imperial court's reputation, I have not touched him so far. I have only put him beside me to restrain him. How could I have thought that he would die unexpectedly today? I really hope that he will die unexpectedly." An expert from the 'Secret Shadow Camp' can find her way back as soon as possible, otherwise, her end will be even worse than Wu Ming's."
After Liao Ze finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, and the muscles on his pale Chinese face twitched unnaturally a few times. Two sharp eyes were directed at Zi Lan opposite him, making Zi Lan tremble and quickly lower his head to flatter him. road:
"What the Marquis said is that the little girl will definitely have the great hope of the Marquis and help him complete his great cause,"
Liao Ze glanced sideways at Zi Lan, who was bowing his head in salute. After calming down his mind, he narrowed his eyes again. After a while, he said in a gentle tone:
"Ever since I found out that the people from the 'Secret Shadow Camp' had sneaked into the Hou Mansion, I secretly ordered my Yun'er to go and investigate, and gave him a gold medal from the Hou Mansion, allowing him to mobilize all the troops except the Lingnan Camp. "Young men and horses, how can you think that my son died unexpectedly just as soon as this matter had some clues," said Liao Ze, lowering his head and wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.
Zilan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her and said, "My condolences to the Marquis. The young Marquis also wanted to take care of his father's worries. The little girl will definitely capture that Lu Jin soon so that she can avenge the young Marquis."
Liao Ze waved his hand before Zilan finished speaking, and then continued: "My son's death will be regarded as a loyalty to the Wei State and a filial piety to his father. It's a pity that the gold medal was taken away by Lu Jin, which was behind Emperor Gao. relic,”
"Is it the Kowloon gold medal that was left with the jade seal?" Zilan said impatiently before Liao Ze could finish his words.
"Exactly," Liao Ze not only did not blame Zilan for her rashness, but continued to answer with tears in his eyes. However, his squinted eyes inadvertently glanced sideways at Zilan, but the twinkling tears revealed A hint of murderous intent that is not easy to detect.
After hearing such a definite answer from Liao Ze, Zilan's pink face became neither happy nor surprised, but there was an unnoticeable excitement between her eyebrows, but it was swept away in the blink of an eye. Covered up by a look of shock, Liao Ze smiled slightly and continued to say to Zi Lan:
"So I want to give you something,"
"It's just the Marquis' order, why should you be so polite," Zilan lowered her head and replied softly.
"Then I'll ask you to hunt down that Lu Jin. I don't care whether he's dead or alive, but I want to get that gold medal back as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
"Little girl, I understand," Zi Lan replied.
"Just understand. It has nothing to do with you here. You can go down," Liao Ze said, closing his eyes completely and putting his hands behind his back, as if nothing happened.
Seeing that Liao Ze had given the order to expel guests, Zi Lan did not stop, turned around and was about to get up. At this time, Wu Ming's body came into her eyes again, making Zi Lan's body seem to have no power at all, but Zi Lan turned around in an instant Then he gritted his teeth, jumped up, and flew into the air. His feet lifted a little out of the air, leaving a beautiful white shadow in the air. But behind the white shadow, two crystal drops of water separated from the air. Spread it down...
Just as Zilan left, Liao Ze said quietly to the back: "It's time for you to appear."
As soon as Liao Ze finished speaking, he saw a man in black emerge from behind Liao Ze. He didn't say anything, but just lowered his head towards Liao Ze and clasped his fists, which was regarded as answering Liao Ze's call.
"You were also a member of the 'Secret Shadow Camp' before, so you should be very familiar with the people there. Look at this Zilan..."
"Well," before Liao Ze could finish his words, the man nodded impatiently and made unpleasant sounding responses from time to time, indicating that Liao Ze's guess was good.
Seeing this, Liao Ze didn't feel too happy. Instead, he nodded slightly and said gloomily to the man in black: "Then do you know what to do?"
As soon as Liao Ze finished speaking, he saw the man in black touching the ground with his feet and disappearing into the vast night in an instant. Liao Ze raised his head and looked at the starry sky, with a confident smile on his face. Said softly:
"The drama has just begun..."
After a long time like this, Liao Ze lowered his head, and then ordered the sergeants present to carry away the wounded soldiers and clear the stables. As for the dead Wu Ming, he also carried them down and just found a random place to bury him. , Liao Ze was busy cleaning up the mess in the stable, but Lu Jin and Zhang Lian were still persevering in their escape journey.
"Sister, you...you...you can't slow down...I...my intestines...are about to be jolted out by you," Lu Jin lay on the back of a speeding horse, The heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys in his stomach were jolted so hard that they felt like they were about to pop out of his mouth. In desperation, he could only shout to Zhang Lian who was on horseback.
But instead of listening, Zhang Lian shook the reins even harder, causing Lu Jin to become helpless. She thought to herself, "Why did I end up with such a dead bitch? I really don't care." His husband took it seriously, but the complaints were complaints and the curses were curses. However, the horse kept running and his body was knocked wildly. There was no improvement at all. This made Lu Jin only lament the misery of his fate.
At this moment, Zhang Lian suddenly pulled down the reins, causing the war horse to raise its front hooves high, letting out a long neighing sound, and then dropped its front hooves heavily, knocking Lu Jin up. Fortunately, Lu Jin was thrown up. Zhang Lian held Lu Jin down with her hands, otherwise Lu Jin, the big assassin, would have to fall off his horse.
"What's going on?" Lu Jin was confused by the sudden stop and quickly shouted to Zhang Lian.
"There are people in front of us," Zhang Lian answered Lu Jin quietly, but her words revealed a vigilance as if facing a formidable enemy.
"What the hell, as long as it stops, it's best. Wait a minute and let me get up first. This bone is almost shattered by you. Oops..."
But before Lu Jin could get up, the war horse suddenly jumped up again. Instead of getting up, Lu Jin fell onto the horse's back again. He had no choice but to hit the horse's back twice with his fists. I scolded her a few times.
Zhang Lian tried her best to control the war horse, but the war horse seemed to sense unprecedented hostility. Although it became more calm, it kept spinning in place and snorted loudly from time to time.
"Who is here? Please tell me your name," Zhang Lian suddenly shouted into the darkness.
"This woman's martial arts skills are pretty good. She found out about our existence so quickly, but it's really annoying for me to see so many people now. Damn it," an extremely dull male voice came from the darkness in front of him, looking extremely Weird and terrifying.
"Yes, it's just that this woman is too ugly, so it's better to kill her. But that little man still has some flavor..." At this time, another feminine male voice came from behind, making Zhang Lian turn around suddenly, but in addition to the darkness In the dark night, nothing else can be seen.
"Hey, I think your girl is pretty. If you don't want her, leave it to me, my brother." At this moment, a thick male voice came from above her head. Zhang Lian was so surprised that she raised her head, but she still couldn't see anything.
"Okay, you dirty things, in my opinion, I should kill all of you, so as not to be dirty all day long, disgusting people." As soon as the thick voice fell, a male voice sounded like a butter boy. , but it’s just like the previous one, I can only hear its voice but not see its person.
"Who are these people? Why can't I see them?" Lu Jin asked Zhang Lian with a frightened look on his face while lying on the horse spinning in circles.
