In the dark underground building, torches shone in all directions, and a guard with a mask on his face, like a stone statue, stood silently in every corner.
Wang Xu was wearing the flying fish uniform of Jinyiwei Qianhu. He looked around and walked inside silently.
The Jinyi Guards in Fuzhou are different from those in the capital. Dragons and snakes are mixed in the capital, and even the Jinyi Guards have to keep their tail between their legs.
In Fuzhou, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the banner of Jinyiwei is still quite intimidating.
It doesn't even need to be hidden. It is located in the northern suburbs of the city. Not only does it have numerous training grounds on the ground, but it also has something else secretly going on.
"Wang Qianhu, the governor has been waiting for you for a long time. Come in quickly."
Walking to the plaque with the words "Zhengfufu" written on it, Wang Xu glanced at the person who was talking to him. This person was from a hundred households and could be responsible for entertaining guests for the Zhenfu envoy. This meant that this person was either a relative of Jiang Tianchen or him.
die-hard supporter.
"This Jiang Tianchen doesn't live in a nice big house, but he actually lives in an underground palace under the guard station. Those who know know that he is the governor of Fuzhou, but those who don't know think that he is a felon in prison!"
Thinking about the underground palace with a sentry post every five steps and a post every ten steps along the way, Wang Xu couldn't help but ponder.
Everyone doesn't like a big sunny house, but Jiang Tianchen lives here. Is it because his preferences are different from ordinary people, or is there something special about it.
After looking all the way, there was nothing special about it. If anything, it was that it was heavily guarded.
Tightly guarded!
Wang Xu secretly muttered, Jiang Tianchen could not live here because he was afraid of death. Could it be that he was not sick but injured, or was he injured by someone?
After thinking about it, Wang Xu was taken to the guard mansion by Baihu who led the way.
As soon as he entered the guard house, Wang Xu's first impression was that of darkness, and the second was of a strong herbal smell.
The smell of herbal medicine is strong, as if you are not visiting the lobby of the governor's mansion, but the warehouse of a drug store. The smell is a bit irritating to your nose.
"Sir, Wang Qianhu has arrived." Baihu, who was leading the way, was obviously familiar with the environment inside and walked over without even lighting a lamp.
As a Broken-level existence, Wang Xu has extremely strong perception. Even if the surroundings are pitch black, he still uses his perception and dim light to explore his surroundings.
This is the living room, with tables and chairs on both sides. There is a screen twenty steps away, and there is a faint sound of breathing behind the screen.
After listening for a moment, Wang Xu frowned slightly. He didn't hear Jiang Tianchen's heartbeat.
You must know that when warriors practice physical training, their heartbeats are already strong and powerful. In addition, the surroundings are so quiet. It stands to reason that even if Jiang Tianchen suppresses his heartbeat on his own initiative, he cannot not hear a trace of movement.
"Hold the lamp!"
Accompanied by a hoarse voice, an oil lamp lit up behind the screen.
Wang Xu looked up and saw two shadows reflected on the screen, one sitting on a big chair and the other standing respectfully aside.
"In our Fuzhou Health Center, including you, there are eight thousand households in total! Nowadays, demons and ghosts are rampant, and people's hearts are not as good as they used to be. I decided to put two of you in a team, responsible for one direction, and spread out to the southeast, northwest, and northwest. The top will monitor each other.
All the civil and military officials in the county will collect public information for Your Majesty. If nothing happens, you and Xiahou will go to the north to take charge."
Jiang Tianchen's voice was very hoarse, and it sounded like a severe patient with bronchitis trying to speak.
Wang Xu stood motionless. After a while, he seemed to realize that Wang Xu had not left, and another voice came: "Why don't you go to take office?"
"Mr. Jiang, I first came to the North Guards Station, and I'm afraid it would be bad if I didn't even see Shangguan in person!"
A huge Fuzhou has only eight thousand households of royal guards. If Jiang Tianchen is the Caotou King of Fuzhou, the eight thousand households are the messengers of his king's orders.
Wang Xu really couldn't think of any reason why Jiang Tianchen didn't even see him. It was like the emperor who had just ascended the throne and didn't go to see the civil and military officials, but hid in the palace to play alone.
"What, you want to see me?" Jiang Tianchen's voice came from behind the screen, with a hint of anger in his tone.
Wang Xu was not frightened, and said: "I heard that your Excellency is ill. Unfortunately, my subordinate happens to be a master of medicine. Why don't I help you take a look."
Having said this, Wang Xu strode towards the screen. Before he could reach the screen, Baihu, who had led him the way before, ran out.
"Wang Qianhu, what do you want to do, assassinate Shangguan?" Baihu stood in front of Wang Xu and asked sternly.
"Go away, I am trying to comfort you. Who are you? How dare you come to stop me!" Wang Xu waved his big hand, and Bai Hu who was blocking the way was immediately ejected and hit the wall pillar and fainted.
Wow!
Striding up, Wang Xu pushed the screen away and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Are you satisfied?"
Lying on the Grand Master's chair was a skinny old man with a purple complexion and withered hair.
"Zombies!"
Wang Xu glanced at him and took a breath: "It turns out that these herbal smells were used by you to suppress the corpse odor!"
"Surprised?"
The zombie's face vaguely resembled Jiang Tianchen's former appearance. Wang Xu had seen his portrait before coming and could still vaguely recognize it.
"Did you know that our territory in Fuzhou was the fiefdom of King Yan in the previous dynasty?" Seeing the look of surprise on Wang Xu's face, Jiang Tianchen asked with a smile.
Wang Xu nodded lightly, he knew this because the Wumenju where Yan Chixia lived in seclusion was the former Prince Yan's Mansion.
"The previous dynasty enjoyed national prosperity for 580 years. The palace of the Prince of Yan has been here for all dynasties. Over the past hundreds of years, I don’t know how many generations of Yan kings have changed. With so many people, there must be a resting place after death. Unfortunately, no one has found it in all dynasties.
The tomb of King Yan was discovered by me, and then" Jiang Tianchen shook his head with a look of sadness on his face.
Wang Xu listened silently, and when he heard something from behind, he opened his right hand and took advantage of the situation with a three-pointed two-edged sword.
Jiang Tianchen raised his head slightly, forcing a smile on his zombie-like face: "What are you going to do?"
"Burials were popular in the previous dynasties. Over the past hundreds of years, dozens of Yan kings have been buried in this place, and I don't know how much wealth has been accumulated. Especially the last generation of Yan kings, who was obsessed with alchemy and Taoism, gathered the power of the dynasty, and looted many treasures.
, otherwise you wouldn’t have fought so hard to get in. Now, son, you have to hide such an important secret, but you told me right away, hehe.”
Wang Xu is not a fool. Jiang Tianchen dares to tell him anything, which shows that from the bottom of his heart, he does not want him to live.
Perhaps, when he saw Jiang Tianchen's appearance, he had already had murderous intentions. After all, the position of the governor cannot be given to a zombie, and a place like the Tomb of King Yan must have many institutions inside.
Jiang Tianchen couldn't take it down by himself, he had to borrow the power of Jin Yiwei.
To sum it up, as long as Wang Xu lives, Jiang Tianchen will have to die. Otherwise, he will have to hide in the mountains and forests. Like those monsters and monsters, he will not be allowed to step into the city for the rest of his life.
But after Wang Xu died, he could live freely as the Caotou King in the name of the governor, and he could also borrow official power to take over the tomb of King Yan. A fool would know how to choose.
"If nothing happened to me, I would reuse subordinates like you, but it's a pity." Jiang Tianchen stood up suddenly and said angrily: "You shouldn't have broken my secret!"
Whoosh!
As soon as Jiang Tianchen stepped on the ground, he flew up and grabbed Wang Xu by the neck.
It's not like Wang Xu has never seen zombies before, but the zombies he saw were all stiff and moved as slow as a snail.
But Jiang Tianchen was not like this. Wang Xu only felt that his eyes were blurred, and the opponent's attack had already arrived.
Wang Xu quickly raised the knife and swept across it. With a "clang" sound, a huge force came from the blade, which shocked Wang Xu and almost let go.
"What a strength!"
Wang Xu's strength is not low, and he was so shocked by Jiang Tianchen that he almost dropped his weapon, which shows that the opponent's strength is at least 30% higher than him.
"The reaction speed is pretty good. If I hadn't turned into a zombie, I probably wouldn't be able to catch you, now."
Jiang Tianchen rubbed his nails, and after a hard fight with Wang Xu, there was not even a white mark left on his nails, and he said with a ferocious smile: "You are going to die!"
