Chapter 295 The Real Body of the Noble Man
The moonlight fell in the middle of the night. Zuo Chen was meditating in the room, but suddenly he opened his eyes.
His originally peaceful state of mind was filled with ripples, and strange perceptions lingered in his heart.
Someone was calling his name with extremely strong emotions.
With a wave of his sleeves, the windows of the restaurant opened wide, and he ran towards the sky under the moonlight. In the blink of an eye, Zuo Chen appeared on a wide street.
The bright moon illuminated the road, and it was already under curfew. There should be no one on the street, but there were two conspicuous figures at the end.
A soldier in black armor and an embarrassed young man covered in water.
Zuo Chen’s eyes fell on the black-armored soldiers.
The aura is strange, not like ordinary people, and the dantian is filled with hot flames, which is quite strange.
In the memories of the capital, this group of black-armored soldiers followed the nobles in sedan chairs, forming a team, terrifyingly silent and majestic.
At that time, Zuo Chen wanted to capture one and study it carefully.
Take a big step and reach behind the black-armored soldier. He reaches out his hand and gently pinches the blade that is about to fall.
The black-armored soldier seemed to have ducked his back, planted his right foot on the ground and leaned forward with his left foot, almost falling to the ground.
The long knife in his hand could not move at all, as if it was stuck in a high mountain.
The originally vigorous black-armored soldier turned his head stiffly and looked behind him.
Zuo Chen thought for a moment and waved:
"Hi."
Then Zuo Chen watched the flames in the black-armored soldier's dantian suddenly extinguish, and he fell directly to the ground. There was a loud thump.
Like a big iron lump, lifeless.
“Tsk.” Zuo Chen raised his eyebrows.
Very interesting.
He reached out to grab the helmet of the black-armored soldier and pulled it up hard.
“Boo~”
The black-armored soldier’s head was pulled out directly by Zuo Chen.
Putting his head in his hands, Zuo Chen showed a "Sure enough" look in his eyes.
Only then did he realize that there was some flesh and blood underneath the black armor.
It is clearly a mechanism man made of iron and wood!
This is clearly a unique art of controlling objects, exactly the same as the paper manipulative art that the noble man used so well.
I am afraid that the manipulator of this black-armored soldier directly cut off the energy in the soldier's body. Without the energy supply, this black-armored soldier will naturally be like a useless iron lump.
Waving his Taoist robe, Zuo Chen directly collected the black-armored soldier into his sleeve, planning to take it back and study it carefully.
After doing all this, Zuo Chen raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him.
He has seen this man before.
When he entered the mansion to kidnap someone during the day, this young man was sitting in the main seat.
Unexpectedly, he was attacked by black-armored soldiers.
The eldest young master of the Lu family was sitting on the ground in a state of embarrassment. Looking at the Taoist priest in front of him, he could not help but feel a dreamlike confusion in his heart.
He actually survived.
Immediately afterwards, a sense of desolation surged into his heart, until his vision was blurred, as if his vision was obscured by mist.
The Lu family has great achievements, including third-level officials and ancient secret treasures. Even so, in the struggle in Kyoto, it is like a wisp of ashes left after the explosion of a firecracker.
After tonight, there will be no more Lu family, only him, Lu Yang, is left.
Times are unpredictable.
"Thank you Taoist Priest for saving your life."
Lu Yang squeezed out a smile and kowtowed three times and five times in the direction of Zuo Chen.
"What's the matter with you? Why are they chasing you?"
Listening to Zuo Chen's questions, Lu Yang sighed, tears streaming down his face, and told Zuo everything that happened at home. Chen.
Zuo Chen listened to Lu Yang's words silently, and soon recalled the third-grade official who saw him hesitate to speak.
It was obvious that he wanted to talk to Zuo Chen about the noble man at that time, but he gave up for some unknown reason.
Zuo Chen estimated that at that time, the Lu family’s grandfather probably wanted to leak the secret to him, but he also didn’t want to openly quarrel with the nobleman.
I wanted to walk between the two parties, but I didn't expect that the noble man would go directly to the scene and send out his own black-armored puppet soldiers to directly slaughter their entire family.
Others did not comment well, but Zuo Chen could feel it:
That noble man is anxious.
I'm afraid the information this young man has is really useful.
"Taoist Priest, now my family has been destroyed and I have nowhere to go," Lu Yang kowtowed three more times: "My grandfather told me your nobleman's whereabouts before he left, and I am willing to tell you all about it. , I only hope that you can provide protection to prevent thieves from harming my life."
"If what you said is true, I will naturally protect you." Zuo Chen said, "Do you know the true identity of that noble man. ?”
“Actually... my grandfather has not seen the noble man’s face yet,” Lu Yang said: “But my grandfather has been in contact with the noble man many times and knows a lot of inside information. He should be able to help the Taoist investigate the noble man. Help."
"Say." Zuo Chen waved and took out two chairs from the Changxian Hidden Mansion in Xiukou, one to sit on and one for the young master to sit on. They started talking about it so directly on the street.
Lu Yang sat on the chair cautiously, feeling uneasy:
"The black-armored soldiers that the Taoist Master just dealt with are called the Black Army by the nobles. He has thirteen men in total, and their strength is extraordinary.
"The Black Army is unique. Even if it is damaged, it can be quickly replenished. My grandfather once thought that the Black Army has some special training method that can transfer souls physically. As long as the soul lamp does not go out, it can be passed down from generation to generation. Now it seems that these thirteen generals are not living people. It is obvious that the noble man can only control thirteen puppets at most. "
After sighing and introducing the black army that slaughtered his family, Lu Yangcai continued:
"The second thing is the true identity of the noble man.
"No one has seen the noble man's face, but he occasionally travels with officials accompanying him. Sometimes he goes to major states for business, and sometimes he marches in the palace.
"My grandfather once conducted an investigation and found that the noble man He is inextricably linked to the hidden sect Wu Xiang Forget, and he is probably the leader of Wu Xiang Forget. "On the other hand, the noble man has never appeared together with the left and right prime ministers, so the nobles speculated that the noble man is most likely one of them. But my grandfather was working in the palace once, and he saw this The nobleman rode in a sedan chair and went to the back garden of the palace.
"At that time, the two prime ministers were discussing the famine in Xuzhou with His Majesty the Emperor. "
Hearing this, Zuo Chen frowned slightly:
" Were there any high-ranking officials who were not there at that time? ”
"Basically all of them were in the court. Even the officials who were unwell that day and did not come to the court. According to my grandfather, he also went to investigate later. They were indeed not in the palace at that time."
Lu Yang finished. , paused for a few seconds:
"In my humble opinion, I am afraid that the main reason why the nobles came to destroy my Lu family today is because of this."
This is Lu Yang's words.
He actually didn't know why the noble man was so nervous and slaughtered his entire family, but tying the news to the demise of his family would always add some weight to the news.
Besides, it makes sense logically.
Zuo Chen could hear the little tricks in Lu Yang's words, but he didn't care about it.
As long as Lu Yang’s news is useful.
After thinking about it, Zuo Chen took out a talisman from his arms.
Write a letter of good fortune.
He aimed at Lu Yang's back and patted him directly, and the talisman was attached to Lu Yang's clothes.
"Go directly to the Yaochi Tower, find a room with their shopkeeper, and have a good rest."
Hearing what Zuo Chen said, Lu Yang was anxious:
" "Chief, won't you go back with me?"
"I'm going to the palace, so I won't go back with you for the time being."
Zuo Chen could see Lu Yang's worried expression, so he patted his shoulder and comforted him: "You can walk boldly and confidently, no one will stop you on the road."
Lu Yang looked big. embarrassed.
Taoist Priest, you are so skilled that you are not afraid of thieves sneaking up and ambushing you, but that’s not possible!
Any black-armored soldier who comes here is enough to chop off my head.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded stiffly.
Zuo Chen turned around and walked away under the moonlight. He disappeared on the street in the blink of an eye, leaving only Lu Yang around.
The cold wind blew by at night, and Lu Yang shuddered subconsciously, and hurriedly walked towards Yaochi Tower according to his memory.
He was always terrified along the way, for fear that a black-armored soldier would emerge from a dark corner and chop off his brain.
Walking cautiously on the street, the shadow cast by the moon would frighten him and shiver.
It wasn’t until he saw Yaochi Tower that Lu Yang finally let go of his worries.
But he also had a strong curiosity in his heart:
No one really came to attack him?
Such a wonderful method is truly mysterious.
......
Zuo Chen flew over the wall and landed in the back garden of the palace.
This is the second time that he has come to someone else's palace in the middle of the night.
The first time I went to someone’s ancestral grave, the second time I went to someone’s backyard.
I always feel that what I am doing is somewhat unethical.
Touching his nose, Zuo Chen took a step forward and strode forward.
The palace is naturally different from the streets. Even in the middle of the night, there are still guards with swords and armors roaming around to guard the safety of the palace.
It's just that they didn't have the means to see through Zuo Chen's hidden house skills. Even if Zuo Chen walked arrogantly in front of them, they didn't react at all.
In this way, Zuo Chen arrived at the back garden very smoothly.
Under the bright moonlight, Zuo Chen looked around.
Compared to other mansions, the back garden of Daliang Palace is not too big. Apart from the flowers, plants and trees, Zuo Chen can also sense the magic patterns on the door to prevent thieves. It is surrounded by nearby stone lanterns, rockeries and ancient trees.
As long as a thief with evil intentions sneaks into this place directly, these magic lines will make noise, attracting surrounding guards.
Under the moonlight, these protective techniques shimmered slightly, making them look a bit like a dream.
Looking around, Zuo Chen began to think about it.
What did the nobleman in the sedan want to do when he came here?
Relax and enjoy the scenery?
Or...
Suddenly I saw the middle of the back garden.
Under the slanting moonlight, a small house is easily visible.
Zuo Chen has been here before.
That was the place where he met the little emperor for the first time.
Royal study room.
If you come to this back garden, the most likely place to go is the imperial study room.
He walked directly to the door of the study and pushed the door open.
The moonlight falls in the room and reflects on the books.
As if waiting for someone to read them.
