Chapter 610 The Beginning of the Nightmare
Yan Zuozuo knew that the kid in front of him was much better than those who said they wanted to check for strange diseases, but in fact they just wanted to show their faces to the city lord and get some benefits.
Therefore, he also felt compassion, reached out and patted Gu Chan on the shoulder and said, "Although you are young, you are much more honest than those adults. In this case, it doesn't matter if I tell you."
"Thank you, old man." Gu Chan cupped her fists and said thanks.
Yan Zuozuo put the cigarette rod in his hand on the ground and said in a solemn tone, "When I did the autopsy before, I found that there was the blood of a mysterious beast in that man's blood. If I am not mistaken, this should be the blood of our Yexing Kingdom royal family. Some ghost bat beast’s blood.”
"Ghost bat beast? Never heard of it." Gu Chan shook her head and said.
"Your Tiancang Kingdom does not have this kind of mysterious beast, only our Yexing Kingdom royal family has it. This kind of mysterious beast is a powerful spiritual beast. It can control the minds of two-legged beasts and other mysterious beasts through blood, making them crazy. Run to find it and throw yourself into a trap," Yan Wuzuo explained.
Gu Chan frowned and said, "Then how can we explain the half-la body in the city lord's palace? Not to mention the cause of the strange disease, whether it is the blood of this ghost bat beast, just saying that the half-la body is still alive, wouldn't it be surprising? Feeling suspicious? ”
"Then you haven't thought that this might be the unique physical skill of the guard? There are many talented people in the city lord's palace, so it is normal for there to be a guard who knows this unique physical skill!" Yan Zuozuo Said with a faint smile.
Gu Chan's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and the doubts in her heart were finally solved at this moment.
She just said that after searching in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion for so long, she still couldn't figure out why the half-drawn body was still alive, and now Yan Wuzuo had given her the answer.
This world is dominated by physical skills, and the physical skills she possesses are also very unique. In this way, even if someone has the physical skills that can allow the body to be separated, it will still be alive. Strange, isn't it?
Thinking of this, Gu Chan said with great gratitude, "Master, thank you, you have cleared up my doubts."
"Don't be too quick to be happy. This may be the beginning of your nightmare. If you think about it carefully, the ghost bat beast is only found in the royal family of the Night Star Kingdom. If this is the cause of the strange border disease, does that mean that someone in the royal family deliberately Using this spiritual beast to disturb the border? Why would this person do this?" Yan Wuzuo reminded.
Gu Chan said in a deep voice, "The royal family wants to control the border in their own hands, and does not need a very talented city lord like Ye Tianyang."
"That's right! So you think about it for yourself, whether you want to continue the investigation or not!" Yan Wuzuo patted Gu Chan on the shoulder and said.
Gu Chan reached out and stroked her forehead, her expression extremely ugly.
As expected, the struggle for power is the same no matter which country it is in. The Ye family in Yaoye City is not weak. It is impossible to easily overthrow the Ye family and then gain control of the entire border.
Not to mention, there might be someone from the royal family behind the Ye family. In this case, this sudden and strange disease must be a series of reactions caused by the fight among the royal family.
It's no wonder why Yan Zuozuo didn't dare to publicize it to the outside world even though he had found out something.
This matter is not only a matter of life and death for the Ye family, but also a matter of life and safety for all the people on the entire Yexing Kingdom border!
After understanding this, Gu Chan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It seems that Ye Tianyang is in a more dangerous situation than me!"
"That's all I've said. It's up to you how to deal with this matter next." Yan Wuzuo said.
Gu Chan nodded quietly, took out the two ingots of silver, put them into his hands and said, "Take this silver, and after I leave, quickly pack up your things and leave Yaoye City. You can hide as far away as you can. As for Ye Ye, City Lord, I will find an excuse for you.”
"Do you know? The reason why I have waited for so long and never escaped is to wait for the right person and tell him all the secrets I know. Now it seems that I have finally waited for this person." Yan Wuzuo said with a long sigh of relief.
Gu Chan nodded noncommittally.
Then she didn't linger too much, but quickly stood up to say goodbye and leave. Not long after she left, Yan Zuozuo packed his luggage and ran quietly out of the back door of Shenghe Yizhuang carrying a baggage.
In the afternoon at dusk.
Gu Chan led the little maid back to the city lord's mansion.
After telling the little maid to rest, she went to the backyard study alone and found Ye Tianyang.
Ye Tianyang sat behind the desk and asked, "How is the investigation going?"
"Of course I have gained something. Hurry up and give me proof that the shipment of herbs is worth five million taels of silver. I promise to cure your strange disease within half a month." Gu Chan said confidently.
"I've already told you, your boatload of medicinal herbs is not worth so much money. Are you still trying to trick me in a different way? You still solved my strange disease in half a month? What are you bragging about? Do you think I'm a fool? ?" Ye Tianyang said coldly.
"I'm not bragging, I'm serious. My boatload of herbs can cure strange diseases. Do you still think it's not worth it?" Gu Chan said with a bad smile.
"Is this true?" Ye Tianyang asked with his eyes widened.
If the truth is what she said, then the herbs on the Great China are indeed worth the five million taels of silver.
Gu Chan reached out and patted her chest and said, "If I lie to you, I won't go back to Jiangnan to be a lord. I will just stay and let you do whatever you want."
"Okay, this is what you said. Don't regret it. This proves that I will open it for you." Ye Tianyang readily agreed.
After saying that, he immediately took out a pen and paper, and with a wave of his hand, he wrote a certificate of the value of the medicinal herbs to Gu Chan, and then stamped his city lord's seal on it.
After Gu Chan got the certificate, she smiled and said, "Then I will go back to the inn first, and then you can wait for my good news."
"Remember what you said, and don't think about escaping, otherwise I guarantee you won't be able to leave Yaoye City." Ye Tianyang reminded.
Gu Chan smiled and nodded.
After that, she didn't stay too much in the study, and immediately said goodbye to Ye Tianyang and left.
Not long after she left, Ye Tianyang sent someone to call the little maid who had been with Gu Chan during the day for questioning.
The little maid told him clearly the details of her stay with Gu Chan that day, but also about what Gu Chan said in private with Wang Tianxiao, Ding Xiang, and Yan Zuo. She had no idea at all.
In the end, Ye Tianyang could only tell the little maid to leave with a stiff face.
"Gu Chan, what exactly did you find out? Why do you look so confident when you come back in the afternoon?" Sitting behind the desk, Ye Tianyang murmured to himself in confusion.
At this moment, he had no choice but to calm down and wait quietly.
