The roosters in the upper capital crowed for the first time. It was the darkest time before dawn.
In the Duke of Rong's Mansion, the servants who were taking a nap on the corridor pillar were awakened by the crow of roosters.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and stomped slowly towards the latrine. In a daze, he tripped over something and got up to pick up the lantern and check it.
"ah!"
A scream resounded through the sky, drowning out the crowing of cocks throughout the city.
The dim light reflected the servant's extremely frightened face. His eyes were staring at the ground, a person projected by the halo of the light.
The man was lying upright, motionless, with a thin streak of blood on his neck that seemed to be absent.
In the darkness of the main hall, there were several shadowy figures looming here and there. Whether they were standing or sitting, their whole bodies seemed to be exuding the cold and bloodthirsty aura of Shura from hell.
The servant picked up the lantern and tried to escape, when he saw several hideous white faces shaking in front of his eyes.
The evil ghost smiled at him, his teeth dazzlingly white in the light.
"ah!"
Another scream completely shattered the tranquility of Rongguo Duke's mansion.
"Why are you howling in mourning so early in the morning?" The steward of the outer courtyard said with a cold face: "I have alarmed all the masters. How many lives do you have to pay for it?"
"In charge of... in charge of... in charge of things, there are... there are... ghosts!"
The servant trembled violently as soon as he said the word ghost, and was so frightened that he couldn't say another word.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The steward frowned: "You are deceiving the public with your lies and risking your life?"
"Guanshi Wu is so majestic!"
In the front hall behind the two of them, a calm but melodious man's voice came out.
Manager Wu was shocked. Is there someone in the front hall?
At this moment, the masters in the house haven't gotten up yet. When did they come? He doesn't know?
Manager Wu squinted his eyes and looked into the front hall.
At this moment, the lights suddenly brightened in the front hall, clearly illuminating the handsome man who looked like a lily in the snow sitting on the main seat.
At this moment, he was holding a glass wine bottle in his hand, and the wine in the bottle was as red as blood.
The man's jade-like fingers moved slightly, and the wine in the bottle rippled slightly. Manager Wu's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, as if his blood was boiling with the blood-sloshing wine.
That person is...
Manager Wu's breath was stagnant, and he subconsciously swallowed as his Adam's apple rolled: "Lin... Sect Leader Lin!"
The person sitting in the front hall is Lin Zhi! How could it be Lin Zhi?
Although the regent appointed by the late emperor cared about the clan of the Duke of Rong, didn't he and the Duke of Rong have no contact with each other for the rest of their lives?
No one will forget that on the day the Queen Mother gave birth to her son, the Rongguo Palace was almost destroyed.
He is the devil crawling out of the sea of hell! Wherever he passes, there are corpses everywhere and rivers of blood flowing.
He suddenly appeared here just now to...
"Go and call everyone here, I'm very busy." Lin Zhi spoke in a calm voice, and his whole body was filled with an undeniable awe.
Manager Wu's breathing was stagnant, and a chill came from the soles of his feet and went straight to his forehead.
The person in front of me is arrogant, arrogant, and cold! However, there are some people in the world who are born with the capital of arrogance.
He was unable to resist.
"What I want is everyone." Lin Zhi said slowly: "If one person is missing, I will kill both!"
Zheng!
The iron weapons clanked, and a blue rainbow seemed to suddenly appear between the sky and the earth. The cold sword edge carried a sharp murderous aura and swept across the world.
Manager Wu trembled, and then he saw four strange people following Lin Zhi.
None of these four people were dressed as ghost guards. They only wore the most ordinary clothes, with bare faces.
However, this did not prevent Manager Wu from shuddering when they looked at him, and then fell into deep doubts.
