Chapter 59: Following Like a Shadow

The thin man did not speak.

Of course he couldn't speak. His body was still able to feel itself, but it didn't obey his commands at all. Only his eyes, filled with fear, were moving.

Gu Dan walked forward, took out a few packets of medicine powder from his sleeve, selected one and sprinkled it on the thin man's body.

In an instant, the skinny man's skin turned bright red, goose bumps appeared all over his body, and unbearable itching spread all over his body.

"Ho ho!"

Miraculously, the thin man uttered discordant syllables from his throat and his eyelids trembled repeatedly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. There's more!"

Gu Dan poured another packet of medicine powder into his mouth and warned him gently, "At first you will feel like your blood is blocked by something, then you will feel your tendons being pulled back and forth by someone's hands, and then your internal organs will feel a sharp pain, like a knife cutting.

There was a prisoner who was very good at talking. He lasted for a quarter of an hour. I am watching you. You can't be worse than that prisoner! Otherwise, I will lose face. Ding Ji has praised me for more than ten years. You have to do better in front of him. "

The thin man was lying on the ground. Although he could not move his body at all, blood flowed out of his pores naturally, with a little black blood and accompanied by wisps of white steam.

After about ten breaths, his body began to twitch involuntarily. His tendons bulged high, twisted into a small hill like a knot, protruding on the skin.

His pupils almost shrank into a line, revealing large patches of whites. Blood gushed out of his facial features, and his cheeks looked hideous and terrifying.

"You can't hold on any longer?"

Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking extremely dissatisfied, "You must pay for what you have done!"

A slender and powerful finger was placed on the thin man's head. At the fingertips, a ray of green light carried a strong vitality, trying its best to keep him conscious.

Pain that was several times stronger than that caused by a thousand feet of stone emanated from his body. The skinny man's body was like a broken water bag, with blood gushing out indiscriminately. The extreme pain should have made him faint.

But from time to time, a cool air came from his head, which made his consciousness always sink in the sea of ​​suffering of the flesh and unable to be freed. Only his face was distorted to the extreme, and he looked like a demon.

A quarter of an hour later, the little bit of internal energy that had been restored in the body was completely consumed.

Except for his head, the lean man's body looked like a dwarf, as if his body had been hollowed out from the inside.

Gu Dan stood up, without a trace of pity in his eyes, "Good fortune and misfortune come from no door, only people bring them upon themselves; good and evil will be rewarded like a shadow!"

The night is still long.

The interest has been collected, and it’s time for the Jinyiwei to pay the price!

Zhianfang.

Among the 108 markets of various sizes in the imperial capital, Zhianfang is probably the worst one. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a slum in the imperial capital.

There was a heavy thunderstorm, but it could not wash away the fishy and foul smells that permeated the streets of Zhi'anfang.

Even though such a place is in the imperial capital, even beggars are unwilling to come here to beg! In a shabby house that looked like it had not been cleaned for decades, Jinyiwei Commander Lu An lit a night candle and sorted out the intelligence sent from various places one by one.

The other person knelt beside him, waiting for Lu An's reply respectfully.

“Cough cough cough!”

Looking at the letters from all over the place, Lu An covered his chest and suddenly started coughing. The short and intense coughing sounded as if he was going to cough out his lungs.

"Commander!"

The man kneeling on the ground quickly stood up, his face full of worry.

During his investigation in Yuzhou, Lu An was first slapped by Huang Chao and then ambushed by the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

Of the hundreds of best fighters sent by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, only one in ten survived. Even the commander had to fight hard to escape, but he was not immune from heavy injuries.

Now, whenever it rains thunderously, Lu An feels pain all over his body, cold sweats pour out, and he wishes he could cough up blood.

"Nothing!"

After a while, Lu An finally recovered. His face turned pale and he said in a cold voice, "It is impossible that all the hundreds of alchemists in Qingfeng Temple have disappeared. Keep investigating and catch as many as you can."

"What if we meet Qingpingzi?" asked the subordinate.

"What should I do? This is the emperor's order. You ask me what to do? You must hold him back even if it costs your life!" Lu An's eyes were fierce.

Emperor Zong Ming issued a death order, requiring Qing Pingzi's whereabouts to be found as quickly as possible, and either captured or beheaded!

The above sentence makes the people below run their legs off.

The Jinyiwei did not have any masters at the grandmaster level. At most, they had only mastered the art of internal martial arts. During the trip to Yuzhou, they did not catch Qingpingzi, but happened to discover another martial arts grandmaster, Huang Chao.

It doesn't matter who you arrest.

Since Qingpingzi couldn't be found, it would be a merit to vent his anger on Huang Chao and capture him. If he could be tortured to find out where the immortal stone was hidden, it would be a great achievement! Who would have thought that Huang Chao was so powerful that even an ordinary strong man with great internal energy training would bleed profusely after being hit by his punch? Not only did they fail to capture him, but more than half of the Jinyiwei were killed or injured!

Fortunately, the other party was worried about the coming of the army and did not engage in too much entanglement. As a result, he encountered an ambush by the White Lotus Sect leader on his way back. He almost lost his life there.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After such a long time, not only did they gain nothing but suffered heavy losses. They fled back to the imperial capital like a stray dog, without making any achievements. They completely let down the trust of Emperor Zong Ming, and the power of the Jinyiwei would inevitably suffer a great blow.

In addition, the Jinyiwei never gave face to anyone, and they started to make trouble when they received the emperor's order. It can be said that they had no way out.

After all, a sharp sword must not be allowed to rust.

"I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Qingpingzi has not been found yet, why does your Excellency have to target the Mohist school? In winter, the emperor just praised Mo Qiu for his loyalty to the emperor and his country, and he is the greatest chivalrous man.

Recently, the Mohist School has recruited many disciples, nearly 3,000 people! The Mohist School is in full swing, and Mo Qiu can even force back the martial arts master of the Huang Dynasty. Is it wrong to provoke the Mohist School at this time?"

"You know nothing!"

Lu An's eyes were cold and stern, and he threw a letter directly at his face. "Mo Qiu was praised by the emperor because of his contribution of the immortal stone! What if Mo Qiu secretly hid the immortal stone? As long as we capture the imperial physician and get the witness, the emperor will definitely not allow such a person who seeks fame to exist in the world!

So what if he is a martial arts master? Do you think there is no such master in the palace?"

The subordinate picked up the letter, glanced at it, and his face couldn't help but freeze! Willows in spring flourish like summer?

It is beyond human power! "I understand."

The subordinate put the letter away safely.

"What have they been doing for so long? Haven't they caught the person yet?"

Lu An waved his hand in annoyance. Things had been going wrong recently. Not only could he not rival the alchemists, he could hardly even protect himself.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came from outside the door.

Before they could do anything, they saw the door being kicked open.

A tall man walked in.

The night was too dark, and the figure standing by the door seemed as unclear as a shadow.

"You looking for me?"
