treacherous world

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to the inn, pretended to fall asleep, and sneaked back into the cottage through the back window.

The two of them were exhausted after driving all the way. As soon as they entered the courtyard of the cottage, Zhan Zhao caught a glimpse of the fourth son who was dragged out of the house by Gongsun in a daze.

Bai Yutang approached him with a white face, successfully frightened the fourth son to wake up, his eyes widened like a frightened rabbit.Both Gongsun and Zhao Pu looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who were smiling happily——Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao had both learned badly together, so it's not unreasonable.

Everyone gathered in Bao Zheng's study, and Zhan Zhao talked about He Zheng's condition.

"Drinking blood can boost your energy if you're terminally ill?" Gongsun rubbed his chin thinking what kind of disease it was, and it was the first time he heard of it.He also heard that He Zheng benefited a lot from taking the life-extending pill, so he made some calculations and shook his head, "According to his condition, this guy probably won't live for three months!"

"Then why don't we wait?" Pang Yu gave a bad idea, "Three months will pass quickly, anyway, Bai Yutang is by his side now, give him poison! If he dies, the world will be peaceful !"

Everyone looked at Pang Yu. Although his idea was a little bit damaged, it couldn't be said that it was wrong. He could use any method to deal with anyone!

Bao Zheng asked Gongsun, "Mr. Gongsun, the most urgent thing is, is there any medicine that can save He Zheng's life?"

Gongsun was a little embarrassed, "My lord, the condition needs to be diagnosed and treated before we know how to deal with it. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if I accidentally poison him to death or really revive him, it will be self-defeating."

"That can't be done!" Zhao Pu hurriedly waved his hand, "Let him live a few more days, I see that those people in Tubo are conspiring with him, and I will teach them a lesson by the way."

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "What's wrong with him...maybe you can get a clue if you ask someone." Everyone looked at each other and knew what was going on—Blood King!

This time there were two night walkers brought by Ziying and Zhe Ying, one was the unlucky Blood King, and the other was the night walker who was staring at Zhan Zhao and wanted to exchange tribute with Bai Yutang, named Shen Qing.

Shen Qing was so frightened, he kept saying that it had nothing to do with him, that he was the son of a local official, and he joined the ranks of night walkers just for fun, and it was too late to change back.

It's not hard for everyone to lock him up for later use.

The blood king has suffered a lot, he was tied up and gagged, and bumped all the way here.

He looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang angrily, and he probably knew that these two people were by no means from the simple background they said.

Bao Zheng was sitting in danger, and asked Gongsun to see whether the blood king was a human or a ghost.

Gongsun felt the blood king's pulse, and found that everything was normal. It was clearly a person. Where did those sharp teeth come from?Gongsun wanted to see his teeth, lest he go crazy and bite someone, Ziying and Zheying found something to support his mouth.

Gongsun tapped the bamboo stick a few times, it was hard, and the root of the tooth was serialized together. It was his own tooth, so he became more curious. He asked the Blood King, "How did your tooth grow?"

The blood king kept moving, shaking his head sadly.

Bao Zheng asked everyone to remove the support from his mouth and told him to speak.

"Who are you guys? What's your intention in sneaking into the Chengdu Mansion?" The Blood King stared at the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Bao Zheng, as if he remembered something, "Could it be that you... are Bao Zheng?"

Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows, "The government is right to ask you, where are you from? Why did you go into the Central Plains to confuse people and harm people?"

"Where to go is my freedom!" Blood King turned his face away, "Those young people are eager to become night crawlers, and I didn't force them."

Seeing that he was quite nervous, Ziying was a little annoyed, "Hey, be honest, believe it or not, I tied you up in the yard and told you to bask in the sun?"

Needless to say, Ziying casually threatened and hit the blood king's weakness. He was really scared and looked at everyone nervously.

Gongsun frowned, "Are you really afraid of the sun? Why don't you expose yourself to the sun tomorrow morning and see what changes." No! "The blood king's fright was also beyond everyone's expectations. He shook his head again and again, "He will die. "

Zhao Pu sneered, "It is true that there is no injustice and no enmity...but it is also true that you deserve to die."

"Not bad!" Everyone nodded and cooperated to scare him together, "Bring you to the yard at noon tomorrow to have a good sun."

"What do you want to know?" The blood king's arrogance disappeared immediately, and he pleaded, "I was also ordered by others to do things for others. You have a wronged person and a debtor, so don't look for me!"

Bao Zheng slapped the table and showed his usual majesty, "Aren't you telling the truth?!"

The Blood King frowned, as if he was in a dilemma, "I said, can you guarantee my safety?"

"Promise that you won't be allowed to bask in the sun!" Zhe Ying urged him impatiently.

"It's not just about not basking in the sun, but also... and not being killed by others!"

Seeing his lingering fear, Bai Yutang seemed to be caught by someone for some reason, so he asked, "You are very talented, you can heal wounds in an instant, what are you afraid of?"

"It's not about the wound. It doesn't matter if the wound heals. If the head is moved or burned to death, it won't get better! Do you think there is no one around He Zheng?!" Blood King sighed, "There are many capable people around him, He thought it was used by him, but he didn't know that he was used by others. We are just small characters, and we don't have any ambitions, so we don't deserve to work hard. I'll tell you what you want to know, but don't kill me. "

Zhao Pu nodded and looked at Bao Zheng, which meant—Bao Xiang, hurry up and ask, this family is a pussy.

"From what you said just now, isn't He Zheng the mastermind?" Bao Zheng asked with a sullen face, coordinating with Zhao Pu to bluff and intimidate, and talk into the jacket.

"He was just being used by others, but he didn't know it himself, and thought he was done, even his illness..."

"How is his illness?" Everyone asked.

"His illness was caused by poisoning." The Blood King actually told him exactly what he had said, and glanced at Zhan Zhao as he spoke.

Zhan Zhao was sitting at the table at this time, and on his lap was the startled little four, who had already fallen asleep lying on the table.Seeing the Blood King looking at him, Zhan Zhao had a vague premonition in his heart, so he asked, "Does that person also have golden eyes like mine?"

Everyone also frowned, is it Zhanhao again?This person is really lingering, but there is no trace.

The Blood King hesitated for a moment, then nodded helplessly, "Yes."

Zhan Zhao's expression sank helplessly——Zhan Hao!Besides him, who else in this world has the same golden eyes?This person had a purpose for all the so-called before. He originally thought that he wanted to restore the mirage to take revenge, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

"Where is he?" Bai Yutang asked the Blood King.

The Blood King shook his head, "I only met him once, and it was because Lord Feng respected him very much, so I suspected he was some kind of big shot."

"Master Feng?" Everyone was puzzled, why did another person come out?

"He seems to be called Feng Tingshui." The Blood King looked at the crowd, "He is a military adviser of He Zheng. His origin is unknown, but he is very capable. He has a delicate relationship with He Zheng. He Zheng is so suspicious, but he trusts him very much. .Feng Tingshui is very smart, capable of both civil and martial arts, and he hides his secrets. The most terrifying thing is...he can use spells!"

Everyone silently looked at each other, thinking of what Doudou mentioned earlier, those who opposed He Zheng died strangely, which may also be due to a kind of spell.

"He can not only kill people, but also control other people's thoughts. This person is very dangerous!" The Blood King shook his head, "Actually, he made He Zheng sick and brought in Nightcrawler just to hold him back! He Zheng can't do anything during the day, he can only Hiding in the coffin, they have time to plan, as for what they are doing, no one knows now, because most people have become nightcrawlers like me."

"What would happen if you were exposed to the sun?" Bai Yutang asked curiously.

"The ashes disappeared, the whole body burned to death, I'm serious, I'm not joking with you."

When everyone heard his words, they were skeptical. What kind of poison could make people suffer like this?

Gongsun took out some blood from the blood king and the captured night crawler, and found that it was almost not blood, but a thick state, and couldn't help frowning.Gongsun took the medicine, and Bao Yan dragged the half-asleep and half-awake fourth son to do research in the back.

They left everyone to ask the Blood King in detail about Feng Tingshui's background, his purpose, and most importantly, where the hostages were being held.

"I don't know the details, but the hostages are divided into two pieces, I know that." The Blood King told everyone that a large group of young and strong people were taken to build some kind of building. Because they were in the mountains and were heavily guarded, no one saw them. Pass.But children are especially valued, and they don't know why they are taken away.But he shouldn't have died, because Feng Tingshui needs a lot of food every day, and he seems to love those children.

It sounded fresh to everyone. Could it be that the weirdo was crazy about children and kidnapped a large group to raise them?

"So many people are obedient?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Some are generals, how can they be controlled?"

"Feng Tingshui can control them with spells, which is what he is best at." After the Blood King finished speaking, he showed an expression that he had seen ghosts and was afraid of the dark, "I was originally just a traveler from the northwest. I was kidnapped by Feng Tingshui, and he bit me with a poisonous insect, and I became like this. He asked me to try my best to turn all the dignitaries in Chengdu into night walkers, and maintain He Zheng's half-dead state. If it can be delayed for three months, I will announce it, and I will be rewarded at that time. I occasionally saw him talking to a man with golden eyes. It can be seen that Feng Tingshui is very afraid of him and obeys orders everywhere. The reason The nightcrawler party and the tributes are displayed because Feng Tingshui ordered me to find some people with eyes that are different from ordinary people."

"Which color specifically?" Zhan Zhao and others knew that each color represented a different tribe, and knew which color eyes the other party was looking for?You can probably guess the other party's intentions.

"It's all right!" The blood king's answer was surprising.

"You mean, they're looking for people with different eyes, and they're not picky?" Bai Yutang asked with a frown, and the Blood King nodded in agreement.

Zhan Zhao's brows frowned—what exactly is Zhan Hao's plan?

Bao Zheng left both the Blood King and the Nocturnal Clan behind bars, waiting for Gongsun and the others to study the blood overnight to speculate on the cause of the disease and seek a cure.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang originally planned to rush back to the inn overnight and enter He Zheng's mansion the next day to inquire about news, but they were stopped by Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng told the two, "He Zheng is more anxious than you right now, you two are slower! He is an old fox, the more you care about him, the more suspicious he will be!"

The two nodded. According to what Bao Zheng said, sleep in the cottage first, and then go for a walk in the city tomorrow. Anyway, it's almost dawn, and He Zheng has to get into the coffin now.

Back in the room, Zhan Zhao felt his muscles and bones ache, lying on the bed and shaking his head, "Oh, it's a good case, and it's my elder brother's head again."

Bai Yutang took a piece of soap locust and washed the white face on his face. After washing it several times, and still washing it, he replied to Zhan Zhao, "It's better to have a clue than no clue. Let's see what your big brother is planning."

Zhan Zhao lifted his chin and raised his face to look at him, "Yutang, don't wash it anymore, the skin is already rubbed off, such a pretty face, it hurts so much when it gets scratched."

Bai Yutang wanted to laugh when he heard that Zhan Zhao was taking advantage again, but he didn't have time to reply right now because his face was too uncomfortable, "It's still white, Gongsun didn't know what kind of powder he made, it can't be washed off."

Zhan Zhao yawned, "You are born so white, no matter how much you wash it, you won't be like Mr. Bao."

Bai Yutang glanced back at him and was stunned.

"What are you doing?" Zhan Zhao saw that he looked like he had seen something novel, which was very interesting.

"Cat?" Bai Yutang frowned. Was it because of the light?Or dazzled?He took the oil lamp and walked up to Zhan Zhao, staring at his eyes carefully.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao was also surprised, "Have your eyes changed color again?" He asked, taking out the bronze mirror beside the bed to look at it.

"What can the bronze mirror show?" Bai Yutang took away the mirror, leaned over, and stared at him carefully, "Hmm... tonight seems to be more golden than any other day, what's the matter?"

"Will it change in depth?" Zhan Zhao wondered, rubbing his eyes, "But the eyelids are heavy, and I haven't been so sleepy for a long time."

"Sleepy? I thought you were happy. The color of your eyes will change slightly when you are excited." Bai Yutang said, lowering his voice to remind Zhan Zhao, "That night it will be very bright."

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a while when he heard it, and when he realized which night it was, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai Yutang, "Damn rat."

Bai Yutang took advantage of the situation and got into the bed, "Thieves, it's on again now!" As he said, he turned off the light and pulled the covers.

"Your face really hasn't been washed clean." Zhan Zhao nestled under the quilt, held Bai Yutang's chin, and gently rubbed the hair roots in front of his ears with his fingers. Like."

Bai Yutang stopped talking and stared at Zhan Zhao for a long time, "Cat..."

"Ok?"

"Can you see?"

Zhan Zhao blinked, and then remembered that both of them got under the quilt, and the lights were turned off...that's right!How can I see it so clearly?It's like daytime.

Bai Yutang looked into Zhan Zhao's eyes carefully, "Cat, there is light at night, there was no light before, this time I really am a night owl!"

"Did I bump into something just now?" Zhan Zhao was also puzzled, "I also feel that I can see more clearly than before, is it weird?"

Bai Yutang thought about it carefully, "Just now in He Zheng's house, you didn't eat anything, so you must have bumped into something accidentally..." Thinking of this, Bai Yutang lifted the quilt.

"Yutang? Where are you going?" Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang rushing out with his clothes on, and hurried to do it.

Bai Yutang rushed to the gate of the courtyard, bumping into the fourth son who hurried into the courtyard.Of course, the fourth son could only bump into Bai Yutang's leg.

"Baibai!" The fourth son rubbed his nose, followed by a string of rock-scissors behind him.

"Are you still asleep? Is your father in the backyard?" Bai Yutang pulled him off his lap, turned around and started to run again, when the fourth son said, "Daddy said, you may be poisoned, drink more water!"

Bai Yutang stopped and looked at the fourth son.

At this moment, Zhan Zhao also came out and exchanged a glance with Bai Yutang—poisoned?

Not long after, everyone gathered in the yard. Gongsun was holding two ladles, and there were two large buckets of water on the table. Seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang coming, he handed over the ladles, "Drink water! Drink all of these two buckets." Light!"

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at the buckets, they were full.Especially for Bai Yutang, letting him drink so much water would be better than drowning him directly.

Gongsun put some medicine powder and the blood that he had just taken away on the table, and said, "The reason why He Zheng can't be cured when he is sick, and people become vampires after being sucked blood is because the poison was put in He Zheng's house, and everywhere All!"

"Candles and oil lamps?" Bai Yutang thought of a method of poisoning that people in the Jianghu seldom used. They spread the poison on the wall or sprinkled it in the soil, and put it in the candle light. They lived here for a long time. People in this environment will be slowly poisoned.This method is invisible!

Gongsun nodded, "Everyone who entered the house was poisoned, especially those with wounds on their bodies, such as blood holes made by teeth."

Zhan Zhao subconsciously reached out and touched his neck, looked at Bai Yutang, Bai Yutang was a little embarrassed, could it be that he poisoned Zhan Zhao?

"The injuries of both of you were not done in He Zheng's mansion, so the poisoning is not deep. But people's eyes, mouth and nose are still easily hurt by the poison around them." Gongsun said, and nodded Zhan Zhao, "Ordinary people Eyes will change color when they are poisoned, but not as obvious as yours, look at you, your eyes are almost golden."

"So, those vampires, He Zheng, have been under the drug for a long time, so they got poisoned!" Zhao Pu sneered, "What kind of night walker, sucking blood to renew life, is just a cover! Under the poisonous environment, even if you don't suck blood, it's just If you cut yourself, you will become a night crawler!"

"That's right!" Gongsun nodded and told Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, "I will develop the antidote first, so that you will not be poisoned, but you still need to drink plenty of water to wash away the toxins deposited in the body!" After finishing speaking, he turned around Gone, leaving everyone to supervise Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang River.

That night, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao filled their stomachs with water in the yard, and they were not put back in the room to rest until Zhan Zhao's cat eyes returned to their original appearance.

"It turns out that drinking water is more tiring than practicing." Bai Yutang felt like vomiting when he saw the water, so he lay on the bed to rest.

Zhan Zhao leaned against him, patted his belly, leaned over to listen for the sound of water, Bai Yutang looked at him dumbfounded.

After Zhan Zhao lay down, he looked at Bai Yutang beside the pillow, and muttered, "You're quite careful, you can spot it when your eyes change color."

Bai Yutang turned to look at him, "That depends on who you're dealing with, I'm usually very careless!"

Zhan Zhao smiled, Bai Yutang's sweet talk had begun to fade away, he stretched out his hand to pull the quilt over his head, and dragged the white mouse beside him to hug him as a pillow.The two decided to have a good night's sleep, and after waking up, they would clean up old He Zheng.
