Chapter 344 Looking for the Envoy at Night
Wan Xinrong, Tao Taoist priest and Qi Ren followed Bai Hu, walking along the street in the middle of the night, walked into the mansion, and then into the small courtyard, and immediately felt comfortable.
I saw lights burning in the small courtyard, reflecting a mess. The ground was covered with stones and traces of fire. The ground was covered with gravel and tiles, all mixed with blood. Both the courtyard walls and the tiled roofs had obvious signs of damage.
There were traces of tatters, and it was obvious that it had just experienced a fierce battle.
There were at least twenty or thirty corpses lying on the ground, almost all of them wearing gray clothes. They were both warriors and outsiders.
As the three of them walked in, they kept raising their feet to cross the door, while looking down carefully.
They were not invited to the emperor's birthday party half a month ago, but later in order to fight Master Dazu, the prince invited them over. From then on, no matter who won or lost, they had a seat in the palace, so they naturally recognized him lying in the hospital.
Who do these faces come from? That day in the palace, Master Dazu fought with strange people and strangers in the Juxian Mansion, and won more than he lost. If I don't say all of them are here today, I'm afraid they are probably here.
Plus those warrior warriors.——·
So many people came to deal with Master Lin!
And it’s all folded here...
Looking at the people standing in the courtyard, apart from Zhenren Lin and Mr. Luo, he was the only one holding a long sword and a whisk.
The junior sister whose body was stained with blood.
The three of them were frightened and shocked.
"Zhenren Lin, we came too late and couldn't help!" Wan Xinrong walked in front and was the first to salute. "After returning, Wan asked Wu Lingshi to change my residence closer to Zhenren!"
"It's great if you can come, thank you in advance."
"Don't you dare!"
Wan Xinrong was horrified. The lantern in his hand was given to him by Lin Jue.
There was another sound of footsteps outside the hospital.
In the dim light, two figures walked in.
One is Fan Tianshi who has just put on clothes, holding a torch, and the other is Pan Gong wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, with water on his body.
"This is---"
Fan Tianshi was equally shocked when he walked in.
"That day I saw that these Dazu people seemed to be equally interested in my bird's egg fragrance, and I had offended them, so I was very prepared in the past few days." Lin Jue said, "I thought they were going to come here.
I will stay in the capital for a month and will only take action before leaving. I didn’t expect to send someone here today.”
"That's so! These Dazu people really saw that the imperial court is weak now, so they are so bold!'
Fan Tianshi gritted his teeth and was very angry, but he changed his tone and said:
"The Dazu Mission originally had to stay in the capital for a full month before leaving. According to past practice, sometimes it would be more than a month. However, I heard that this time the envoy of the Dazu Mission was in poor health. After arriving in Dajiang
I was not accustomed to the climate, and in addition to the fire and cold that day in the palace, I fell ill when I returned. And the symptoms became more and more serious.
The medical officer in the mission couldn't do anything, and the imperial doctor couldn't see it well, so they decided to go back early. That's why they took action today."
"So that's it."
This kind of information is still very important, but I have neglected it.
Fan Tianshi added: "I just don't know if he is really seriously ill or if he is pretending to be seriously ill."
This time the Dazu mission brought many strange people and magicians, each with their own skills. They had a fight in the palace. If Lin Jue hadn't taken action, it would be difficult for the strange people and magicians in Juxian Mansion to defeat them. Therefore, if Dazu was right
Even if you deliberately pretend to be ill, it is normal for the imperial doctors in the palace and the strange people in the capital not to notice.
"It doesn't matter, I should go find them anyway." Lin Jue said, turning around and saluting a few people, "I will go to the hotel first and ask some of them to report to the official for me."
"Do you want us to go with the real person?"
"That's not necessary."
"Then please don't worry, Master, leave this place to us!" Wan Xinrong said.
"The envoys of Dazu live in Sifang Street, which is a state guesthouse for ministers from all directions. There is a special Dazu Pavilion in the middle, and they stay there," Fan Tianshi reminded.
"Thank you."
Lin Jue looked down at his body by the firelight and found that there was no blood on it, so he walked out.
When the fox saw it, he jumped lightly and followed him.
One person walked out of the yard in the blink of an eye.
Fan Tianshi, Pan Gong and Wan Xinrong finally looked away and turned their heads to look into the courtyard.
I saw Lin Zhenren's delicate and fair junior sister, all her clothes were soaked in blood. Only the whisk and sword in her hands were spotless, white and bright. At this time, she was lowering her head and looking at the corpses on the ground.
She picked up bone beads one by one. In her hands, she already had a small silver pot, a machete and a brown umbrella.
Luo Gong held the sword and struck with one blow after another.
The next five people looked at each other, and finally looked at Fan Tianshi.
Fan Tianshi thought about it for a while and then said: "The poor Taoist will report it to the officials. He might as well think about how to tell the officials and the higher-ups that they can clean up the corpses all over the ground. After cleaning up, Mr. Pan can use his magical power to
Bring water from the lake to wash away the blood-stained meat and meat on the ground, and we can talk about repairing the courtyard wall and roof after dawn tomorrow."
"good!"
Everyone should come down.
The capital has become quiet, and the streets are even quieter in the middle of the night, without even the sound of a watchman.
But it's not silent.
Nowadays, there are many goblins and ghosts in the capital city, and there are also many hidden people in the world, all kinds of people, a mixture of fish and dragons.
There are thieves walking on the roof, there are gangsters operating secretly, or they are drinking and talking all night, gambling for fun, or plotting something in a seemingly ordinary house.
There are also demons and ghosts who take advantage of the night to absorb people's yang energy, just like people during the day, come out to recite poems and social conversations, or hear the movement next to the Juxian Mansion's official office, and the blooming spiritual light and Dharma light make the curious want to check it out.
A timid whisper.
In short, most of them are movements that ordinary people cannot hear.
Lin Jue could detect some, but not all, but Fuyao could hear clearly.
So when it was walking with the Taoist, it would often stop, look at the houses on the roadside or in the distance, hold its breath and listen to a few words, and then quickly follow after the Taoist took a few more steps.
The steps of one person and one fox are undisguised.
This became the clearest sound in the night.
Most people in the world were alert, and fox spirits and monsters were even more alert. So wherever one person and one fox went, everything quickly became quiet. Even the sounds that ordinary people couldn't hear quickly disappeared. Only people held their breath and quietly walked to the doors and windows.
Through the gap in the door and window, I secretly looked out, trying to see who was still walking on the road at midnight. Only when a person and a fox passed by did I hear whispers.
"It seems to be Zhenren Lin——·
"The one whom Luo Gong protects——·
"He's a Taoist priest!"
"Hide quickly——"
Various sounds were heard by the fox, causing it to stop and look back involuntarily.
When the peepers saw it, they immediately held their breath again.
The Taoist moved forward calmly, and so did the fox.
One man and one fox are the watchmen tonight.
Until Lin Jue stopped and looked up.
Although it is the middle of the night, the stars above are very bright. Although it is cold winter, there are bright fireflies on the ground, like small lanterns holding small candles, flying up to the sky, using their own light spots to illuminate the people below.
Fox illuminates the signboard of the house, with three big characters looming.
"Dazuguan——."
The fox read it clearly and carefully.
"Cough cough cough————."
There was a violent coughing sound above the head, as if he was coughing out all his internal organs, and there was the sound of someone talking.
"Sure! Are you okay?"
"fine--"
"Hold on! We'll go back tomorrow!"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on anymore—
"You must continue to persevere!"
"Why are you so late ahem—you guys still haven't slept yet—"
"We are guarding the envoy!"
"Where are the mages? Where are the warriors?"
"them-----·
"Where have you gone?"
"He's sleeping!"
"Cough cough cough——.."
Unfortunately, it was in Dazu dialect and Lin Jue couldn't understand it.
And his response was to throw out his sleeves.
"!"
A gust of wind was so powerful that it easily opened the locked door.
The fox opened the way with a breath of cold air and jumped in first.
Its eyesight is also better. When it looks left and right, it jumps on the table and wall, and the oil lamp on the table and wall lights up.
When the people upstairs heard the noise, they couldn't help but panic. They shouted down in Dazu dialect. When they received no response, they each pulled out their scimitars or daggers, with death intentions in their hearts.
The wooden stairs creaked.
A young Taoist priest walked up slowly.
They have long remembered this man's appearance.
"It's you——"
Several envoys had wonderful expressions when they saw this.
Obviously, this person came here, but the mages and warriors who went to find him did not come back. Everyone knows what happened.
They were both in disbelief and turned pale.
The secretary and medical officer looked wary and confused.
"Zhenren Lin—"
Just then, he raised his head and opened his eyes with difficulty. He glanced at Lin Jue first, and then at the reactions of the people in the room. Then he closed his eyes again, already guessing what happened.
So as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked: "Is Master Lin here to kill me?"
"The envoy is worried too much. Even when the two armies meet, he won't kill him easily. How can I casually take the envoy's life?" Lin Jue said, "What's more, looking at the envoy like this, his vitality has been weakened. I'm afraid he won't even come back."
If you can’t hold it until you reach Dazu, killing you will only have the opposite effect, right?”
"Real person—ahem——"
"But please be aware that tonight you sent out magicians and warriors to steal my treasures, but they failed.
You want to kill me again, this will cost my life." Lin Jue turned his head and looked at several envoys in the room who had obviously different expressions and were holding scimitars and daggers, "I wonder who instigated this?"
Just as he slowly turned his head, he also looked at them.
Those people were all young and looked at each other. Starting from the one on the far left, he pierced his chest with a knife. When the other people saw this, they didn't hesitate and wiped their own necks directly.
Even Lin Jue was stunned for a moment.
This Dazu man is so strong-willed.
Then he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Dajiang is really in danger——
"Master Lin, if you want to kill me, please do so. But these are secretaries, medical officers, painters, etiquette and translators. Please let them go so that my king knows what is happening here. Otherwise, there will be inevitable war between the two countries.
There will be a catastrophe."
