Under the moonlight, someone stood on the wall, holding a long whip and looking at him: "Brother Shen, you have great kung fu skills, but you have to be careful behind you. We can talk later. Let's solve the previous dilemma first."
When Chen Xin heard Xihe's voice, he thought he was hallucinating. It was not until the person stood still after looking at his back that he finally realized that the person standing behind him was a living person: "Their weakness is between their eyebrows, be careful not to get bitten."
"Understood. Leave it to me."
...After two hours of panic in the dark night, the commotion in the Duke of Liang's mansion slowly calmed down. After confirming that the living dead had been dealt with, Liang Shuyi accompanied Xihe to wash up. By the way, Shen Xin also got rid of Xihe and accompanied Liang Shuyi to rest for a while before dawn.
Duke Liang and Marquis Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Chen Xin returned unharmed. "How's it going? Have you finished counting the number of people?"
Chen Xin sighed and said, "...In one night, the loss of servants in the mansion was not large, but more than half of the guards were lost."
Duke Liang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your mother is already arranging compensation for the bereaved families. Leave the aftermath to us. But today's incident is truly bizarre. How could so many living dead suddenly appear out of nowhere?"
This matter was also something Chen Xin would focus on investigating later, but before that, he also had to thoroughly inquire about Xihe's situation. Looking at the long scar on her face that almost ruined her appearance, Chen Xin could sense the hardships she had endured to be here now. "What about Xihe? Has everything been arranged?"
After Madam Liang prepared hot water and hot soup for everyone in the mansion who had worked hard all night, she heard Chen Xin ask this and replied, "She is washing up in her room. To be honest, when I saw her, I thought what happened last night was just a dream. I heard Shuyi say that the little girl was gone. To put it superficially, a child with such beauty as her, just one look at her is something you will never forget in your life."
"Yeah, coming back from the dead, isn't that just a dream?" After saying that, Liang Shuyi suddenly remembered something: "Come to think of it, Xia Houqing just came yesterday, and this happened in the evening. Is he trying to show off to us?"
Mrs. Liang had a different opinion: "I think this is a bit like a desperate dog jumping over the wall, what do you think?"
Wen Hou's face darkened slightly, and he said, "Whatever he wanted to do, his goal has been achieved."
There was now a 70% to 80% certainty that tonight's events were Xiahou Qing's doing. Regardless of whether the undead that suddenly appeared in the Duke of Liang's mansion today caused losses to several key figures in the mansion, it had already served as a deterrent. He simply wanted to tell everyone in the mansion that if he wanted to attack them, he could do so at any time.
Chen Xin said, "...The Duke's Mansion is no longer safe. He can use the living dead to control our life and death at any time. What happened last night should have been just a small incident."
Not to mention being deeply worried, the worry in the heart of Duke Liang, who used to look cheerful and nonchalant all day, was now written all over his face: "Time is running out, and I don't know if the South Vietnamese have come up with a solution. Although these living dead have no consciousness, they are really too difficult to deal with."
Chen Xin said, "The two elders are also tired after a night. Go back and have a good rest. I will go find Xihe and the others later. I will tell you when I have figured out the matter."
Wen Hou laughed helplessly and said, "We do have some time to rest, but I'm afraid few people will be able to sleep."
Duke Liang packed up his things and said, "Even if you can't sleep, you have to sleep. If you're not in good spirits, you won't even have the energy to run away."
...Early the next morning, after Xiahou Qing sorted out his bag, he called the guard at the door in and asked, "Is there any movement at the Duke's Mansion?"
The guard replied, "From the outside, I can't see anything wrong. However, early this morning, apart from a few people left at the Wenhou Mansion to guard the house, everyone else went to the Duke's Mansion. Also, at noon, they seemed to have transported a lot of things out of the city."
If Xiahou Qing's guess was correct, the things they secretly transported out should have been the corpses of the zombies. What a pity! Judging from the situation today, he probably didn't hurt the people he hoped to hurt. However, his goal was achieved. "Last night, it was just a small fight. We need to let them know that the capital is no longer a place where they can do whatever they want. Are the horses ready?"
The guard replied, "It's ready. It's the Ferghana horse we sent as tribute."
"What a pity to waste such a good tribute horse." If it ran from the capital to Qinghe County to clean up Xiahou Chun's mess, no matter whether it was a Ferghana horse or an ordinary horse, it would not be able to withstand the galloping all the way, even with its excellent bloodline.
After saying this, Xiahou Qing handed the list he had prepared this morning to the gatekeeper. "Qingliang Valley's activities in the capital should be less frequent starting today. Take this opportunity to deal with everyone on this list."
The person who could guard the gate for Xiahou Qing must be someone Xiahou Qing could trust. Otherwise, if a knife was suddenly put to his neck in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be too dangerous? However, Xiahou Qing had never expected that these people who had followed him for many years would secretly lean towards others. Of course, these are all stories for later.
The gatekeeper glanced at the people on the list and said, "...then Duke Liang and Wen Xian, are they going to wait for the Pavilion Master's orders before taking action?"
Xiahou Qing said, "Compared to the others, these two are indeed a bit more troublesome because they have Chen Xin by their side. Find an opportunity to imprison them. These two people are still of some use to us."
"I obey your command!"
...After Xihe had rested, Chen Xin also came back to find Liang Shuyi to check her pulse. After confirming that Liang Shuyi's body was not in any trouble due to what happened last night, he turned his attention to Xihe.
Last night, Liang Shuyi had already understood almost everything that had happened to Xihe recently. So while Xihe and Shen Xin were discussing business, she went out to do her own thing. After all, something big had just happened at home, and although she was pregnant, she wasn't seriously ill and unable to move. She had to go see if there was anything she could do to help.
After Chen Xin listened to Xihe's story about his resurrection, he was shocked by what Xihe said next: "You mean, the real Yao Chen is in your hands now!"
