Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three Zhou Family Leng Family
"Lifeless horses? The warriors hiding in the carriage... There is something strange about these people, I want to report it to the general!" Luan Xing thought for a while, Leng Xiaoyu suddenly appeared after missing for more than ten years, and it seems that his status in the motorcade is not too high.
There must be a conspiracy in it."
"A convoy from Zichen Mansion went to the Zhou family business in Chu State. In the convoy was Leng Xiaoyu, a warrior from the Leng family. The suspicion is that the horses are dead objects. It is suspected that the Jiangnan County of the Han Dynasty is sinister. There are hundreds of warriors hidden in the carriage.
!”
"Just write it like this!"
Luan Xing wrote a secret letter and gave it to the messenger accompanying the army. Then he thought about it and wrote another letter. However, he did not give this letter to the messenger. Instead, he took out a black letter from his storage ring.
Xiao Qi, with a wave of Qi in his hand, the secret message disappeared into Xiao Qi.
"Zi Chen Mansion, Zi Chen Mansion, a force that can attract so many people's attention, what are your backgrounds?" Luan Xing murmured as he stared at the shadow of the little flag dragging across the night sky.
Hengduan Gorge has been rarely passed by since the disaster in Jiangnan County. The clouds not only caused a devastating blow to Jiangnan County, but the Hengduan Mountains adjacent to Jiangnan County also suffered a lot of damage. The closer to the clouds, the lower the concentration of spiritual energy. The purple clouds before
The Dragon Transformation Spirit Vein Formation in Chen Mansion has not been released, and everyone in the mansion has to use spirit stones to maintain daily expenses. If it were not for the spirit stone veins under the Lingshi Valley, the current Zichen Mansion might not exist.
Hengduan Gorge is affected by clouds, and the spiritual energy concentration inside is not much higher. In the past, the spiritual energy concentration here was at least twice as high, but now it is at most eight points.
The convoy passed through the Hengduan Gorge without any danger and reached the final hurdle of entering the Chu Kingdom.
"Chengmen Castle!"
Due to the incident in Jiangnan County, a large number of troops were no longer stationed in Chengmen Fort, and General Zhang Heng was also transferred elsewhere. This time the convoy took out the token and successfully passed through Chengmen Fort and entered the Chu Kingdom.
"So simple?"
Heipi was in the carriage ready for a fight at any time, but he didn't expect Chengmenbao to let them pass so easily.
"That's why it means there's something wrong with the general named Luan Xing."
The official roads of the Chu State were much grander than those of the Han Dynasty, which also proves the importance of the Chu State.
On the carriage, Liu Zheji, Jin Xi, Hei Pi, Patriarch Hong and later Leng Xiaoyu gathered around to discuss the next matter.
"Xiao Yu, you are from the Chu country, so you should know our destination better." Liu Zheji said.
Leng Xiaoyu nodded, "We are now in Handan, a county in Chu State. This Handan is the fiefdom of my Leng family. I am familiar with everything here. The Zhou family trading house we are going to is in the main city."
"Your family's fief?? Boy, your status in Chu country is not low! Why did you come to Zichen Mansion?"
Patriarch Hong asked in surprise.
This question made both Liu Zheji and Leng Xiaoyu feel embarrassed, but after experiencing the initial silence, Leng Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Now I am used to the life in Zichen Mansion, and I have a family outside the door, so I don't want to
Went back."
"Are you married?" Liu Zheji asked in surprise.
"Yes! My wife is in the motorcade." As he spoke, Leng Xiaoyu glanced at the curtain of the carriage intentionally or unintentionally. He lifted a bit of cloth, pointed at the back of a figure riding a machine horse in the motorcade and said: "She is me.
wife."
"she?"
Liu Zheji recognized this person just by looking at his back. He was a member of the outer sect's golden warrior. She was the one who signed up. When she signed up, she said
There was a husband who was on a mission and would come back to pick it up after he completed it. Liu Zheji agreed without paying any attention. Unexpectedly, her husband turned out to be Leng Xiaoyu.
This woman has an extremely hot figure and is very strong. I don't know why she likes Leng Xiaoyu, who is so dry and thin.
"Palace Master! I want to go home this time and understand the matter thoroughly. Please allow me, Palace Master!"
Leng Xiaoyu hesitated for a long time and then said to Liu Zheji.
"Go home? Of course! We will go back with you then!" Liu Zheji had a hunch that Leng Xiaoyu would probably experience some troubles when he returned to Leng's house. It would be difficult if no one supported him.
"Thank you, Palace Master!" Leng Xiaoyu thanked him with excitement.
Somehow, the official road in Handan was quiet, there was no one there, only Liu Zheji and his team were walking on the official road, and the sound of the heavy hoofs of the machine horses on the ground could be heard far away.
"If it weren't for the integrity of the official system, I would have thought that I was back in Jiangnan County. Why is Handan in Chu State so deserted?" Liu Zheji sat in the coachman's seat for some fresh air. He looked at the surrounding scenery and was speechless for a moment.
Leng Xiaoyu also hurriedly walked out. When he saw that they were the only ones on the official road, he frowned fiercely.
"It shouldn't be! It shouldn't be! Handan is connected in all directions, and the official roads are connected to the five countries. Even at night, there is a scene of busy traffic, and...why are the surrounding lights not on?"
Liu Zheji also noticed something was wrong upon hearing this. The power of his soul spread out, but he didn't notice anything unusual around him.
But after traveling a few miles, Liu Zheji's nose suddenly smelled a very faint smell of blood, and there was also a hidden murderous aura that filled the air.
"Stop!" Liu Zheji hurriedly ordered the convoy to stop.
The warriors in the convoy looked around in confusion, not knowing what was happening. Zhu Er, who was in charge of the safety of the convoy, hurried back from the front.
"Report to the Palace Master! There is a situation ahead!"
"What's going on?" Liu Zheji's divine soul power had already detected it very far, but he didn't find anything going on.
"Master, you'd better take a look for yourself." Zhu Er hesitated and said.
Liu Zheji got off the carriage, and Coal Ball, who was lying on the side, sneezed and approached Liu Zheji and motioned for him to sit up.
When Liu Zheji rode coal briquettes and followed Zhu Er across the convoy, the smell of blood that filled the air became stronger and stronger. He was now in a state of being out of his mind and was extremely sensitive to information from the outside world. This smell of blood did not mean that someone would die.
It only takes two people to deliver it.
"Go forward... Palace Master." Zhu Er swallowed his saliva and said with a trembling voice,
Continuing to walk along the official road, the overwhelming smell of blood here has forced Liu Zheji to no longer use the power of the soul. Human blood is the essence of all things, and the freshly extracted blood can even be used as a spiritual object. However,
Once the blood is left for a period of time, the blood will quickly turn into dirty blood. This kind of blood is very troublesome. A small amount is fine. Once it gathers into a pile, all kinds of weird things will happen, and this blood can also pollute people's souls.
, an existence that even a master of transformation cannot avoid.
A few hundred meters further, the manager of Zhuang Shiyi and others were staring blankly ahead. After Coal Ball walked over, Liu Zheji suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"What happened in Handan?"
It was the first time that Liu Zheji saw so many dead people. The official road broke when he reached this point. In front of him was a deep pit with a diameter of 100 meters. The rich smell of blood in the pit was overwhelming.
The people were frowning, and countless corpses were lying in the deep pit. These corpses were all shriveled, as if the blood in their bodies had been drained.
"Call Leng Xiaoyu over." Liu Zheji said without looking back.
"We are already here!" Patriarch Hong's voice came from behind. Liu Zheji looked back and was surprised to find Jin Xi, Patriarch Hong and others observing the situation below with frowns.
"My Handan, what happened?"
Leng Xiaoyu knelt on the ground, his head blank. The corpses were dressed in different clothes, some were dressed as businessmen, and some were dressed as farmers. They were obviously the people around them and the merchants passing by.
"A blood evil has formed here. If you stay here for a long time, the blood evil will invade your soul. Let's go first." Ancestor Hong said calmly.
Liu Zheji nodded and ordered the manager to change the route.
There are several roads to Handan City, but this is the main road. After the caravan changed to a smaller road, they finally saw the survivors.
Several hurried pedestrians were walking on the dirt road. When they saw a convoy of tall horses approaching, one of the men struggled and finally gritted his teeth and stopped in front of the convoy.
"Yes husband!"
The man's companion exclaimed softly when he saw what he did.
On the carriage, after everyone arrived, Liu Zheji couldn't help but ask Patriarch Xiang Hong, "Senior Hong, do you know anything?"
Patriarch Hong’s hasty action of asking everyone to leave the corpse pit just now was unreasonable. Logically speaking, the reason for the formation of this corpse pit should be investigated, but looking at Patriarch Hong’s appearance, he seemed to know the origin of this corpse pit.
.
Ancestor Hong nodded and said solemnly: "I didn't expect that there were traces of demons in Chu State."
"Demon?" Liu Zheji was stunned, and he suddenly remembered this terrifying term.
"Have you ever seen a demon?" Patriarch Hong couldn't help but ask after seeing Liu Zheji's reaction.
"What are you all talking about?"
Jin Xi and Leng Xiaoyu looked confused, not understanding what the demon they were discussing meant.
"I once participated in the Eight-State Competition and saw demons in Mo Xun's Fallen Angel form." Liu Zheji recalled.
"but…"
Liu Zheji's expression suddenly turned very bad. He remembered what happened in the Fallen Angel's Grid, but he always felt that this memory seemed to be missing a piece. There was a key point that he had forgotten. What happened before they came out of the Fallen Angel's Grid?
What?? The memory only stayed at the scene of passing through the flesh and blood tunnel. Later, after he came out of the Fallen Angel.
"Don't think about it, it seems you have met a real demon!" Patriarch Hong shook his head.
"A real monster won't leave you any memory."
"I said, can you stop for a moment and tell us what the monster is?" Jin Xi said angrily.
Patriarch Hong smiled awkwardly and was about to speak when a delicate female voice came from outside the carriage, "Master of the Palace! Sirs! A warrior in front stopped our motorcade and said he wanted to seek asylum from the caravan."
Leng Xiaoyu's wife said outside. Liu Zheji was still surprised for a long time after seeing it. It was hard to imagine that such a burly woman could have such a weak voice.
"Take us to see it."
It's strange to have someone appear out of nowhere, but it's a good time to ask him if he knows anything about the corpse pit.
