Chapter 358 The Dead Man
There is no other reason, this group of people are neatly dressed, they look well-trained, and their walking posture is also neat and orderly. It is obvious that they are soldiers.

Otherwise, no group would be able to train such instinctive movements. This is a habit that has been deeply imprinted in their blood.

When they entered the ruined temple, they only took a look at Tong Ange and the others, then found a corner and sat down without saying a word. Among them was a man in a purple robe with an icy expression on his face, and there was a hint of gleam in his eyes. hostility.

"The ostentation is not small, but I don't know the origin." Tong Ange muttered in her heart. She really didn't know the origin of the people in front of her, but looking at the posture, she probably didn't look like an ordinary person.

And just now, she just took a look at the man in purple robe, and felt the aura of repelling people thousands of miles away on his body, as if the words "Don't approach strangers" were written all over his body.

Tong Ange guessed that this purple-robed man should be the leader among them.

The medicine king next to him guessed the same as Tong Ange's.He could recognize the sitting habits of the guards surrounding the men in purple robes and the samurai swords on their bodies. These people should be warriors trained by Zhou's royal family. will be dispatched.

Just how did these warriors appear here?

A flash of vigilance flashed in Yao Wang's eyes. These people must not have appeared here for no reason. He suspected that there must be some unknown conspiracy and secret behind this.

Thinking of this, the old man Yao Wang glanced at Tong Ange next to him. The few people quietly did not make a sound, or closed their eyes and fell asleep, or held their breath, thinking that one more thing is worse than one less thing. It is serious to get through tonight and get on the road as soon as possible. .

Because it rained all night, even the air became icy cold. When Tong Ange and the others packed up and set off from the ruined temple, they could see the white air they exhaled in the air.

"This is Nuanxiang Pill. Take one pill and your body won't be so cold." Seeing Tong Ange shrinking his shoulders, Yao Wang handed her a small jade-colored porcelain bottle.

Tong Ange took it, and was turning his head to thank the medicine king, but his eyes met a pair of cold eyes. It was the man in purple robe who entered the ruined temple to avoid the rain last night. He seemed to be looking at Tong Ange, but seeing Tong Ange looking over, the cold eyes His eyes looked away for an instant, before Tong Ange could see clearly the look in his eyes.

this person...

Tong Ange couldn't help but frowned, she felt that the gaze just now was a little weird.

"Let's go, or we will delay our journey again."

Yao Wang's voice came from her ear, pulling Tong Ange's mind back. She nodded, looked away, and followed Yao Wang and the others into the car.

After the carriage had gone for a long distance, the ruined temple was so far away that it was about the size of a small box. Tong Ange saw the seriousness on Yao Wang's face, who obviously had something to say, so he asked, "Old man, are you Have something to say?"

Hearing her question, Yao Wang didn't make any detours, and directly said in a deep voice: "Those people come from the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom. If I guessed correctly, they should be dead soldiers secretly raised by the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom."

"Dead man?" Tong Ange's brows sank, she was a little surprised. Although she saw that the identities of those people were unusual last night, she didn't expect that the other party was actually a dead man secretly raised by Zhou's royal family.

"Yeah." Yao Wang nodded, with a serious face: "I have heard about these dead soldiers in the Zhou Kingdom. They have no humanity, and they don't even blink when they kill people. Now that they appear here, I'm afraid there will be another It's set off a bloodbath." Said, Yao Wang sighed.

Although he is not a compassionate person, he is somewhat worried about those dead soldiers in Zhou State who are like machines who kill without blinking an eye.

Furthermore, the future of their trip to the State of Zhou is already unknown. Coupled with the information he inquired from Fu Mingyi before, he vaguely guessed that Tong Ange's trapping in the Jia Mansion was more or less related to someone from the State of Zhou. A dignitary can't get away from the relationship, now seeing these dead men, how can Yao Wang not be worried?

Tong Ange looked at Yao Wang's serious face, and understood what he was worried about. After thinking for a while, he comforted him: "Don't worry, old man, life and death depend on life and wealth, even if we can't find the antidote, then I will Tong Ange did not waste her life."

"Hey, you child." Yao Wang sighed: "That's all, let's take a step and watch, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, old man, I can't solve any problems here by sighing and frowning!"

"That's right, the soldiers are here to cover up the water and the earth. Don't worry, old man, we have the right to come out to relax. Anyway, the Lao Shizi poison has no signs of taking effect now. Maybe the old emperor took the wrong medicine. It is not a poison at all. , that is to scare me deliberately." Tong Ange laughed indifferently.

It's been such a long time, and she hasn't felt the slightest discomfort in her body, and it's not impossible.

Listening to Tong Ange's deliberately gag words, Yao Wang sighed in his heart, but he couldn't help being amused by her: "Alright, we won't scare ourselves!"

"And Qing Li, don't wrinkle your face anymore. It seems that you have not lost the wrinkles on your face during the time you have been out. If this continues, I am afraid that I will bring a young maid with me when I come out. But I brought a little old woman with me." Tong Ange looked at Qingli, couldn't help laughing and joked.

"The princess will make fun of the slaves."

"Hahaha……"

Being disturbed by Tong Ange so intentionally, the atmosphere on the carriage also became active. On the next journey, Tong Ange and his group swept away the previous gloomy atmosphere. It was already half a month later in Yanjing, the capital city.

"Princess, look at the bazaar in Zhou Kingdom this week is as lively as our Daqi's bazaar!" Qing Li looked at the bustling and bustling market outside, and couldn't help admiring.

Tong Ange's gaze has also been focused on the outside. The customs and customs of Zhou State and Qi State are very different, but the only thing that remains the same is probably the bustling street market: "Of course, this is Yanjing, the capital of Zhou State. The capital is the same."

"If you had come to Yanjing of the Zhou Kingdom a few years ago, you would have seen more prosperous scenes, but it is a pity that the current emperor of the Zhou Kingdom is only a nine-year-old child, and all the power is in the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhong. The national strength of the Zhou Kingdom, but It’s not as good as before.” Yao Wang said while stroking the beard on his chin.

Hearing this, Tong Ange couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Nine-year-old emperor? Does the old emperor of Zhou have no other sons?"

Let a nine-year-old child be the emperor, how big-hearted should the old emperor of Zhou Kingdom be?
"Yes, there are, but they are either demoted to the common people, or are seriously ill. When the old emperor dies, only the nine-year-old son of the Empress Dowager Zhong will survive. Who?" Yao Wang said, closing his eyes and leaning against the wall of the car to doze off.

Hearing this, Tong Ange instantly imagined a bloody harem battle, and at the same time was full of curiosity about the Empress Dowager Zhong.

To be able to quietly remove all the sons of the old emperor one by one, leaving only his own son, is really a talent.

"Let's find an inn to live in first, and make plans after we find out the situation in Yanjing." Tong Ange looked away from the outside and said aloud.

Since the poison came from the royal family of Zhou, the antidote must also be in the hands of the royal family of Zhou. They want to find out the whereabouts of the antidote. In the state of Zhou, there is no protection, everything can only be done by oneself, it is better to settle down and wait patiently for the opportunity to talk.

"Ah."

*
Compared with Tong Ange, who was relaxing and enjoying the mountains and rivers, Chaozhou City was covered with clouds, like a layer of haze.

Su Yu looked at the woman with pear blossoms and rain in front of her, not only did she feel no pity in her heart, but full of disgust, even just looking at this face could make Su Yu's whole body full of killing intent.

He hadn't figured out who was behind the scenes before, so he led him out of Chaozhou City with suspicion, but he couldn't find Tong Ange's whereabouts, but when he saw Princess Yong'an, all the thoughts lingering in his mind All doubts dissipated in an instant.

"Suyu, I finally found you. The emperor ordered me to be severely punished, and the concubine mother was thrown into limbo. Suyu, I have nothing left. Don't leave me, okay?" Princess Yong'an cried Lihua Daiyu is pitiful, as if she wants to soften Suyu's heart with her tears.

But her calculation was wrong, if it was another man, she might cry like this, she might be able to refine steel and turn it into soft fingers, but the man in front of her was Su Yu, when Su Yu thought that Princess Yong'an might be Attacking Tong Ange is not good for Tong Ange, and if she has already chopped off her heart, how can it turn into soft fingers?
With a cold snort, Su Yu looked at Princess Yong'an with icy eyes: "Princess seems to have found the wrong person, right? This king thinks that the princess is flourishing in Chaozhou City, and it seems that there are not enough helpers." Little, how can you say that you have nothing?" The cold voice had no warmth, it was full of sternness, hearing Princess Yong'an's heart skip a beat, and tried to make her face look more aggrieved.

"Suyu, I wandered here alone just to look for you, where can I find help?"

"Really?" Su Yu's voice became colder, that cold face slowly approached Princess Yong'an, the coldness in her eyes made Princess Yong'an's heart tremble, and she involuntarily took two steps back.

"If you are really alone as you said, how would you know that this king is in Chaozhou City?"

"I..." Princess Yong'an choked, and was immediately speechless.

The coldness in Su Yu's eyes deepened: "Maybe this king helped the princess recall memories, what did you do in Chaozhou City?"

After he finished speaking, the door of the inn was pushed open from the outside, and Zheng Kun came in with a person in his arms. Princess Yong'an's face changed instantly when he saw that person.
