The two brothers looked at each other and immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. Jiang Sheng narrowed his eyes dangerously. He wanted to chase after the other person and kill him, but he was worried about his brother and had to give up the idea.
"Brother, he must be coming for you. You'd better change your courtyard and not stick to one courtyard. The people in the mansion should also be cleaned up."
"Come on, I'll take you back to rest."
After Jiang Ling came back to his senses, he asked in confusion: "San'er, why don't you rest so late at night? You came too quickly."
Jiang Sheng twitched his lips upon hearing this and whispered, "I couldn't sleep, so I went up to the roof to look at the moon. I didn't expect to see that man in black, so I followed him over here."
"So that's how it is. Now everything is fine. Go back and rest early. I will be fine."
"No, I have to keep watch for you. If the enemy attacks, there's no way the guards will be able to handle him."
His eyes deepened. He decided to secretly go to the Hun camp tomorrow night and find a way to kill that man. Otherwise, he would be unable to sleep or eat because someone would be watching him secretly.
Jiang Ling was lying on the bed. She turned her head to look at the person leaning on the couch and said softly, "San'er, can you control that power now?"
Jiang Sheng hummed, his tone full of confidence: "I don't need to go crazy now, I can control that power well, I can teleport and kill people without being seen."
"That's good. You have the ability to protect yourself. I can feel more at ease now."
"Brother, I have one more thing to ask. Who do you think is behind the Xiongnu? Why have we never heard of someone with such strange abilities before?"
Jiang Ling was silent for a moment, and then he spoke after a while: "I looked for ancient books and read them long ago when the living dead appeared. I only have a few fragments and don't know much about them."
"It is said that a hundred years ago there was a very powerful Temple of Eternal Life. The master of the temple was like a god and could bring people back to life. No matter how serious the injury was, as long as they sought the magic medicine, they would recover quickly."
"It is said that the status of the Eternal Life Hall at that time surpassed that of the royal families of other countries. However, for some unknown reason, it disappeared later."
Jiang Sheng seemed to be lost in thought. He had originally thought that with food and weapons during natural disasters and wars, they would be able to protect themselves even if faced with a large force. But now a strange force had emerged.
Compared with this strange power, Zhan Luan actually didn't worry him that much. The enemy was too passive in the dark, and he had no idea how to deal with them in the future.
"Brother, we must continue investigating the matter of the Palace of Eternal Life. Compared to the Huns who are out in the open, the people in the dark are even more terrifying."
"This time it was the Silk Thread Gu, but will it be something else next time? We have no idea what these people's motives are. If they come to deal with Da Gan one day, we will be powerless to resist."
Jiang Ling frowned and said in a deep voice, "Brother, I know about this matter and have already sent spies in various countries to investigate the Palace of Eternal Life at all costs."
"What on earth happened a hundred years ago that caused the Palace of Eternal Life to disappear? Why are you intervening now? I'm afraid there's a hidden secret hidden behind it."
The two brothers talked for a while and fell asleep unknowingly.
The next day, before dawn, Jiang Sheng got up early, washed up, and went straight to the pharmacy. He wanted to make some incense for tracking, otherwise it would be difficult to recognize the people from the Hall of Eternal Life next time he met them.
Half a day passed after tinkering with this. He threw the medicine bottle into the space and ran to follow Jiang Ling to protect her.
During the day, they dealt with those who were poisoned by the poison. They cut their wrists one by one and threw them directly into the water. With bursts of screams, the poisonous insects died quickly after entering the water.
The two brothers watched expressionlessly. A guard came over and whispered, "Major General, of the more than two hundred people who contracted the disease, only less than a hundred survived after being soaked in the water."
"...Well, send the dead to the outside of the city and burn them in a pit. Remember not to bury them carelessly, or they might come back to life."
The guard thought of the horror of the living dead, and the corners of his mouth twitched and he nodded quickly: "Yes, don't worry, General."
Jiang Ling posted notices again, going door to door to inform people that if anyone was bitten, don't panic, jump into the water as quickly as possible, as water can detoxify the bite.
When the people learned about it, they were shocked, but at the same time they also realized that the plague was not scary, what was scary was that there was no cure.
The day passed in a hurry and the sky gradually darkened.
Jiang Sheng waited until they fell asleep, then avoided the night patrols, escaped from the city by luck, and ran towards the Huns' camp.
He groped his way to the largest tent, took out a tinderbox and made a hole in it, looked inside through the hole, and after confirming that it was the commander's tent, he turned around and left.
When someone came, he would hide in the space, listen to what they said, pick out information from it, and then flash out when the person left, catch a lone person and feed him medicine.
Seeing the other party's dull eyes, Jiang Sheng asked in a low voice: "Are there people from other countries in the tent, such as staff or something like that?"
"...Well, Your Excellency is not a Hun."
"What is a Venerable?"
The soldier said blankly, "The Venerable is the Venerable. He is the commander's most trusted person. He always wears a black robe and his appearance is unclear."
Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up when he saw the man in the black robe. Perhaps that person was the one he was looking for. No matter whether he was the one or not, he had to go and see. He would know after seeing him.
"Come on, take me to find that venerable one."
"yes."
Jiang Sheng knocked a soldier unconscious, stripped off his clothes and put them on, then followed the drugged soldier and the two of them walked straight towards a small tent.
The soldier said blankly, "We're here. It's right in front."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was knocked unconscious and thrown into the bushes.
Jiang Sheng smeared potion on his face and observed secretly. When he saw a man walking towards him with a tray, his eyes lit up and he slowly walked over, disguising himself as the other person.
He walked in with a tray in his hand. As soon as he entered, he smelled a sweet smell, the same smell as those of sick people, the smell of blood mixed with a strange bitter smell of medicine.
The man in black robe lowered his head and wrote something. When he noticed someone coming in, he said coldly without even looking up, "Put your things down and you can leave."
Jiang Sheng approached step by step, put down the tray, and moved his hand. A silver dagger appeared in his hand and chopped towards the other person's neck.
At the same time, he used the space blade to strangle the man madly. The man in black robe dodged subconsciously, and his body was pierced by the wind blade. Blood flowed out like water, and his face turned pale with pain.
He shouted, "Who are you?"
Jiang Sheng attacked without saying a word, and every move he made was a killing move. Listening to the noise outside, the murderous intent in his eyes became even stronger, and he took advantage of the opponent's weakness.
A wind blade passed by, and only a scream was heard, and the opponent's arm was chopped off.
Youying was shocked. He didn't expect to meet the Venerable in this place. He couldn't even see what abilities the other party had, and why his attacks were invisible.
"Who are you and why do you want to kill me? Do you know who I am? The fate of offending the Palace of Eternal Life is to be torn into pieces. You must think clearly."
