Chapter 551: I Saw
a Ghost Jiang Zhiyu was unaware of the horror on the other side. When she regained consciousness, she could only hear the sound of "Ah Wu Ah Wu" coming from all around.
Jiang Zhiyu opened her eyes and saw a zombie with a purple body and a bloody mouth.
"!"
Jiang Zhiyu woke up instantly. Her heart almost skipped a beat. She looked around calmly.
Without exception, there were zombies.
What happened? She just slept for a while and the whole army was wiped out?
It didn't make sense. She couldn't not wake up in a fight.
And how could she still stay conscious? Where were the others?
Jiang Zhiyu got up carefully and searched among the zombies.
What he heard was a cry of "Awooo Awooo", but his mind automatically translated it into words.
"Who is this person? Have you seen him?"
"I don't know."
"Then have you seen him?"
"I don't know either."
Jiang Zhiyu: "..."
After searching around and not finding anyone else, Jiang Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention back to the zombies.
Thinking of the conversation just now, Jiang Zhiyu's eyes flashed with thought.
From what he saw just now, it is enough to prove that these zombies can communicate with each other. Does that mean that they were also instructed by the zombies to attack the city?
Is it the Zombie King?
But hasn't the Zombie King disappeared?
Or is it that in addition to the Zombie King, there are other zombies that can control zombies?
Are there a lot of them?
Her mind was full of questions. Jiang Zhiyu looked at the zombies who were busy doing something and asked tentatively: "Where is this?"
The words in her mind were indeed "Awooo" when she spoke out.
You should be able to understand, right?
The zombies next to her paused, and only the whites of their eyes were left staring at her.
...
"It was found out that when the rebellion took place, the third prince and their troops split into two groups at the city gate. There was a woman in the team. Judging from her clothes, she was a Nan Gu."
"After the matter was settled, the third prince did not hand this person over. Instead, he placed her in his own mansion. The servants in the mansion also treated her as a prince's consort."
A Nan Gu person as a prince's consort? Unless the emperor is too old and confused, this is absolutely impossible.
Su Bai sneered and said coldly, "What else?"
"The day before Miss Jiang got into trouble, she had seen the Nan Gu woman in the Third Prince's mansion. The Third Prince's behavior was unusual that day. After Miss Jiang got into trouble, the Nan Gu woman disappeared."
"I also found out that when the Nan Gu woman was in the mansion, the servants' behavior was also very abnormal, as if they were trying to please her."
"Could it be a gut?" Su Bai touched his chin and refuted before anyone could speak, "No, it's impossible. If it was a gut, Jiang Zhiyu had been in Nan Gu for such a long time without getting hurt. It doesn't make sense that she would get hurt after returning to Shengjing."
"But no matter what, the Nan Gu woman must know something. Go check her whereabouts."
"Yes!"
"By the way, are the people in the Xu Mansion moving today?"
"It's the same as usual, but Jiang Kangan is more vigilant, and his subordinates were almost discovered by him several times."
Su Bai nodded slowly and said no more.
...
"Who did you find out?" Jiang Kangan pinched the root of his nose, his face could not hide his fatigue.
Ah Fu nodded: "That person went all the way to Qingfeng Pavilion. I haven't seen his master, but from what he said, he was investigating the accident of the young lady."
Jiang Kangan's breathing stagnated.
Ah Fu continued: "But I didn't feel any bad intentions."
No bad intentions and investigating Zhiyu's affairs, could it be someone from He Yanting?
But he was far away in Mobei, and he blocked the news...
A face suddenly flashed in his mind. The man
's surname was Su, and he claimed to be an old acquaintance of Zhiyu. He said he had something important to do, but he hadn't been seen in the past few days. I think he was trying to check Zhiyu's news that day.
The emperor also said that he looked familiar, maybe he had seen him with He Yanting.
That makes sense.
"Watch him carefully. If you are sure that he is He Yanting's man, then don't worry about it. But if not, just solve it directly."
Jiang Kang'an's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He couldn't let Zhiyu's matter get out.
Ah Fu obeyed the order, and the moment he disappeared, a servant rushed in hurriedly.
He looked anxious and spoke incoherently. After being scolded by Jiang Kang'an, he finally calmed down and said, "Young Master, something bad has happened! Miss, she, the young lady has turned blue!"
Jiang Kang'an stood up instantly.
Jiang Sulan was still the only one in Jiang Zhiyu's room. Her face was covered with tears and her hands were trembling slightly. When she saw Jiang Kang'an coming in, she immediately came forward as if she had regained her backbone: "I was wiping Zhiyu's body just now and found a bruise. I thought it was an old wound that had not healed yet. When I was about to apply medicine, I saw that the bruise suddenly spread all over Zhiyu's body. I didn't dare to leave, so I hurriedly called the servant to find you."
Her voice was trembling, and it was obvious that she was very scared.
To what extent had the bruise spread? Even if Jiang Kang'an didn't walk in, he could see that it was densely packed on her exposed skin.
He almost flashed to the bedside, and after a careful examination, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What should we do? Or let that Nanlong priest..."
"She can't control her dreams," Jiang Kangan shook his head, "After she falls asleep, Zhiyu can only rely on herself."
"That's not possible. We can just watch..."
Before he finished speaking, he sobbed a few times and tears fell.
Jiang Kangan was also very anxious: "Don't tell grandpa and grandma about this. Zhiyu told me a name before. I'll go and look for her. Zhiyu must be fine."
Jiang Sulan looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Kangan put Jiang Zhiyu's hand back into the quilt and tucked the corner of the quilt. Seeing that she didn't wake up like before, he felt bitter.
He stood up and patted Jiang Sulan on the back: "After big brother leaves, this place is handed over to you. Remember, no one is allowed to come in before big brother comes back."
Jiang Sulan nodded firmly.
"Don't worry, big brother."
...
In the pile of zombies, Jiang Zhiyu understood everything from the zombies' howling and wagging sounds and the waving gestures.
This is the lair of the zombie king. Those who can stay here are high-level zombies.
Yes, zombies are also divided into different levels.
Wandering on the streets, without consciousness, attacking humans purely on instinct, are the lowest level zombies.
Those with a little bit of consciousness, like human cubs in elementary school, are a little higher.
And people like them, who have consciousness and can deal with some situations and communicate with each other, are the highest level under the Zombie King. Those
who can stay here are all such zombies.
As for how she appeared here, no zombie could say, and no one had seen her, as if she appeared here out of thin air.
It's really a ghost, Jiang Zhiyu cursed in his heart.
