Chapter 48 Corpse Poison
There was blood on his black leather boots, so Xiao Yan frowned and rubbed them in the snow.

Some bad guys were on guard on the high wall, while the rest jumped over and pulled open the black robes of Day and Night Youxing, only to see that there were two dwarfs inside.

The two men huddled under the black robe, but they could use mechanisms to manipulate the wide robe, giving people an endless sense of mystery.

The women in the brothel looked up and saw that the two men had strange looks and very compact facial features. Considering that they had a habit of eating human flesh, they must be foreigners.

Some bad guys groped the bodies of the two dwarfs, and in the end they only found half of a handwritten booklet on each of them.

One of them took it, and after careful identification, he divided it into two parts, handed it to Xiao Yan, and said respectfully: "Captain, these two people should be Fuso people. I have learned some Fuso characters before..."

Xiao Yan flipped through it roughly, and then handed it back to the bad guy, saying, "The internal strength of these two people is not that strong, but their body movements are first-rate. I'll give it to you for safekeeping. Later, try to find a way to translate it into Chinese so that the rest of the helm can learn it together."

"Brothers at the helm..."

The bad guy was greatly surprised, and subconsciously glanced at the girls from Huanyinfang not far away, then turned his body to the side, as if he didn't want them to hear the conversation here.

He could not hide his excitement, and said with a trembling voice: "Thank you for your contribution, Captain. I really have no way to repay you..."

"We are all one, we live and die together, there is no difference between you and me." Xiao Yan patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "From now on, I have to walk with you, don't fall behind me."

His voice was not loud, and with the wind and snow blowing, others might have thought that his words just passed by suddenly.

But the shadowy figures on the wall were all startled at this moment, and then looked at the slightly thin figure, tightly gripping the hilt of the knife in their hands.

After revealing this story, Xiao Yan finally had time to take care of the girls in Huanyinfang.

Before he came, one woman had already died, and the other women were all injured to varying degrees, including Fanyintian.

But the one who looked the worst at this moment was Ji Ruxue.

She picked up the sword again, leaned against the wall, and silently wiped the scar on her wrist.

Only then did Fanyintian realize that something was wrong and went over to help her.

"Xue'er, how do you feel now?"

"It's okay. Does Saint Ji have any medicine for injuries?"

Fanyin Tianding looked and saw that the girl's wrist had been torn by the whip, and a black color was spreading up her forearm.

Her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly took out the special golden medicine from her arms.

"This medicine is useless."

Xiao Yan strode over, pushed her away, then crouched down and grabbed Ji Ruxue's right hand.

Fanyintian was rudely opened, but he didn't care about his dissatisfaction, and asked anxiously: "What do you mean by this, young man?"

Ji Ruxue retracted her hand, but couldn't pull it away.

Xiao Yan frowned, hesitated for a moment, dipped his hand in the blood on his wrist, and then put it to his nose and sniffed it gently.

The girl's face tightened and she remained silent, tense.

"This is corpse poison." Xiao Yan frowned and said, "I didn't realize it just now. The two whips are soaked with corpse poison. Once the defense is broken, the corpse poison will invade the body and control the internal organs and affect the person's mind."

Fanyintian's expression changed drastically. Her power was close to the minor heaven level, and she had her own defense. The whip broke the pipa but did not cause any substantial damage to her. Although Xiao Yan was also hit, his body protection was like iron armor, so it was not painful for him.

But Ji Ruxue, a low-level warrior who could only deal with ordinary martial artists, could not withstand the attack.

She asked anxiously, "Young man, do you know what to do?"

At this time, a bad guy jumped down from a high place.

"Captain, there's news that the city gates have been opened." He glanced at the women hesitantly and whispered, "Should we evacuate here quickly?"

Xiao Yan frowned, glanced at Ji Ruxue's calm but somewhat pale face, and said to Fan Yintian in a cold voice: "Where are your people?"

The latter stuttered a little, and then said ashamedly: "Not yet, not yet gathered..." "Go gather the others first and leave the city first." Xiao Yan let go of Ji Ruxue's wrist and said to the bad man: "Help keep an eye on the surroundings and give priority to ensuring that everyone can leave."

"Follow the order."

The bad guy led the rest of the people away quickly and disappeared almost instantly.

Only then did Fanyintian finally feel embarrassed. They were now like a burden to the bad guys and were completely useless.

"I'll leave Xue'er to the captain..." She bowed to Xiao Yan, and led the girls to the gathering point in a hurry.

Seeing that some of them used the mysterious powder to dispose of their companions' bodies, Xiao Yan looked down at Ji Ruxue and said, "Your martial arts skills are mediocre, but you want to get involved in these things. Is there really no one left in your Huanyinfang?"

"The rest of the help hasn't arrived yet..." Ji Ruxue defended herself, but Xiao Yan had already reached out and hugged her around the waist.

There was almost no blood on his body, but the smell of blood was quite strong. I wonder how many people he had killed that night.

Without waiting for Ji Ruxue to react, he just tapped his feet lightly and leaped onto the top of the high wall.

The sky was slightly bright, but the whole city was still shrouded in darkness. The snow was getting heavier, falling down in large flakes, covering the blood all over the city.

The girl exuded a delicate fragrance, and her soft body nestled against Xiao Yan's chest.

Her face was slightly pale, but she didn't know whether it was due to the corpse poison or some other reason. At this moment, she raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly, and saw that the 17-year-old boy had a calm expression, facing the snow and looking towards the palace city.

After a moment, Xiao Yan jumped out.

------

At the Xuanming Cult's headquarters, only half of the dead bodies outside the yamen had been taken away.

The steps were covered with dirty blood, dripping down bit by bit. The people carrying the corpses left bloody footprints everywhere.

There were arrows stuck into the wood of the copper ingot gate, and the gate had been cracked a little. There were also corpses inside, which were the traces left after the battle between the invading imperial guards and the ghosts pouring out of the underground palace.

There were figures everywhere inside and outside. The Xuanming Sect collected the bodies of the ghosts, and the imperial guards only took away people from a few groups.

Do not interfere with each other.

In the lobby of the government office, Cui Yu looked extremely disheveled, with his outer coat torn.

He dismissed everyone and was now frowning as he hurriedly sealed a letter.

Then, he solemnly handed it to his confidant.

"You must go to Luoyang immediately and personally hand this letter to Prince Jun."

The confidant did not dare to be careless and immediately left through the side door with the letter.

Cui Yu looked gloomy, called a messenger and asked, "Did Huanyinfang really not gain anything?"

"The entire brothel was on fire, and fighting broke out in the alleys. It has become a ruin, and nothing can be found..." The messenger said, "And the Saint Yan Jun and the two wandering star envoys have not been found either, and we don't know whether they are alive or dead..."

"How is Tongwenguan?"

“We only caught some small fish. The turmoil came too quickly and everyone was swept up in it.”

"Damn Ge Congzhou!"

Cui Yu was extremely angry, and cold sweat oozed from his back. He was left behind by Meng Po in Bianliang, and none of these things were done!
He waved the messenger away and walked back and forth in the lobby alone, his face changing from gloomy to bright.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of the hall.

"I never thought that Lord Cui had such an unknown relationship with Prince Jun Zhu Youzhen."
