Good Fortune Immortal Road

Chapter 74 Secret Guard Traitor

As a young swordsman trained by Divine Sword Villa, Lu Yun naturally understood that their mission this time was to prevent the King of Yue from obtaining the treasure, thereby also eliminating the King of Yue's ambition to annex neighboring countries.

Although he didn't know the secrets, the information passed down from generation to generation in Divine Sword Villa still made them realize the turmoil that would be caused if the King of Yue launched a war. When the time came, it would be those gods and immortals who would take action, not just them. Divine Sword Villa can solve it.

In order to avoid a greater disaster, Divine Sword Villa sent Dongfang Bai and Lu Yun. However, Ling'er heard about this operation and wanted to join in to gain experience. As the young master of Divine Sword Villa, Ling'er's talent is better than Lu Yun, but he is not as diligent as Lu Yun, so his reputation is not obvious in the world.

The owner of Divine Sword Villa is also a sophisticated person. Naturally, he will not leave such an important task to only these three people. There will be preparations later, but the three of them do not know these details. This is also for To prevent the news from leaking, after all, after the King of Yue established a secret guard, the owner of the village did not dare to guarantee that he would not have any of his people by his side.

The secret guards on the other side are also planning how to get rid of Dongfang Bai and the other three. Among them, Dongfang Bai and Lu Yun are both top masters. That girl seems to be a good opportunity for them to attack. All the conspiracies are in this small inn. produced in it.

The sky was gradually getting dark, and Shen Lang, who was listening bored in the room, suddenly discovered something interesting. Outside the rooms of the secret guards, a man in night clothes was lurking, trying to find out about the secret guards.

Shen Lang even discovered that the man in black was none other than Brother Zhao, who sat at the table next to Shen Lang during the day. He originally thought he was a man who was content with the status quo and focused on living an ordinary life, but now it seems that he is Knowing the identity of the secret guard, and now coming to inquire about the information, it seems that this person's identity is not simple.

Shen Lang asked Rakshasa to follow the man in black carefully to see what the other person wanted to do.

The man in black's martial arts was not as weak as he said during the day. It was not inferior to Dongfang Bai. For a while, these secret guards did not notice the existence of the man in black.

At this time, the short man leader of the secret guards took out a mirror, cut his hand with a dagger, and dripped blood on it. A man wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown appeared in the mirror. This person was the secret guard. Master, His Majesty the King of Yue, the Emperor of Yue Kingdom.

All the secret guards knelt down and saluted: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty rule the whole world and live forever."

The King of Yue waved his hand to signal them to level up. The man in black who was lurking outside had a slight fluctuation in his energy the moment he saw the King of Yue, which made the secret guards immediately discover his presence.

The short man shouted: "Who dares to eavesdrop?"

The dart in his hand instantly shot towards the place where the man in black was. The other secret guards also reacted instantly and shot towards the man in black.

The man in black did not want to reveal his identity and began to evacuate as soon as the other party found out. Although these secret guards were highly skilled in martial arts, they could not stay if the other party wanted to leave.

Seeing that the man in black was about to escape, the short man took out a weapon from his arms and threw it directly in the direction of the man in black.

The man in black screamed, obviously being hit by this weapon. The short man gave an order: "Hurry up and chase him, don't let him escape."

Shen Lang was surprised to find that what the short man used just now was a disposable Law Weapon. Although it was junk in the eyes of monks, it was often magical to mortals.

His heart moved, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that the country of Yue was indeed interesting. Shen Lang secretly released black-armored zombies to stop these people from pursuing them, while he used the invisibility technique to go and find out the true identity of the man in black.

Dongfang Bai, Lu Yun and others in the room were alarmed by these people and jumped out of the window to see what was going on.

This group of secret guards were held back by the black-armored zombies and could not move forward even half a step. The leader of the short man noticed something strange and asked: "Huang Liger, do you know your surname?"

Huang Shihu was shocked by the mysterious black-armored swordsman. He didn't expect this man to be so powerful, but he helped the man in black escape. Are they in the same group? He decided that it would be better to find out the identity of the man in black armor first.

The black-armored zombies ignored them, which made Huang Shihu look angry. He didn't expect that the other party didn't take him seriously. More people came out to watch the fun on the street. Hua Laosan whispered to Huang Shihu Tiger said: "Boss is too arrogant, let's retreat first."

Huang Shihu nodded gloomily, and the secret guards quickly evacuated the scene and returned to the inn.

Dongfang Bai and Lu Yun stared at the black-armored zombie with thoughtful expressions on their faces. They didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend. It seemed that since they had stopped the secret guard's actions, they would not be the minions of the King of Yue. Dongfang Bai stepped forward to establish friendship. .

"Brother, Dongfang Bai, I wonder if I can buy you a drink?" Dongfang Bai tried to see if he could win over such a master. After all, he could block those secret guards with special skills alone.

The black-armored zombie remained silent. After glancing at Dongfang Bai and Lu Yun, he disappeared before their eyes.

Dongfang Bai was stunned. He didn't expect the man in black to disappear like this. He was still thinking in his heart that he should inform the owner of the village as soon as possible.

Shen Lang secretly followed the injured man in black, and continued to erase the traces he left. Those secret guards were not vegetarians, and they could track him if they left traces.

The injured man in black hurriedly fled to a ruined temple outside the city, followed closely by Shen Lang to see what tricks he could play.

After the man in black arrived at the ruined temple, a large mouthful of blood spurted out. He took out the wound medicine from his arms and tried to stop the bleeding from the wound. However, no matter how much medicine he used, the blood still flowed out uncontrollably. .

This made the man in black panic. How could this happen? Could it be that today is the day that he will die in Yellow Springs? Thinking of this, the man in black sat down slumped in resignation.

Thinking about it, I have indeed done a lot of bad things in most of my life. Didn’t I already think of the result now? Sighing, the man in black's eyes dimmed.

Shen Lang walked out of the shadows unhurriedly at this time. The man in black immediately looked at Shen Lang warily and made a defensive gesture. When he saw Shen Lang's face clearly, he exclaimed: "No. Thinking that it’s you, are you one of theirs too?”

Shen Lang naturally understood that the people in black were referring to the secret guards of the King of Yue. Shen Lang shrugged and said with a hint of ridicule: "Do you think they can afford me?"

The man in black understood in his mind that if Shen Lang belonged to the other party, he would have been captured long ago, and he would not have to wait until he escaped to this ruined temple before taking action.

"I wonder who you are? I'm just a dying man. What do you want from me?" the man in black asked calmly.

Shen Lang snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "It seems that you also know that you are not going to die soon? If I say that I can save your life, what will I get?"

Hearing that Shen Lang was able to save his life, the man in black also had the faith to live in his heart, and he braced himself against the injury: "Do you really mean what you said?"

Shen Lang looked at the man in black indifferently and said: "You are like this, do you think it is necessary for me to lie to you?"

The man in black nodded mockingly, yes, now that he is not far from death, what else can he ask for? If I could live on, what else could I not exchange for?

"Okay, if you can save my life, I will do whatever you want." The man in black promised.

Shen Lang took out an elixir from the bracelet and said, "Take this elixir now."

The man in black watched with some surprise as Shen Lang took out an elixir out of thin air and drank it without any doubt. In an instant, the wounds on his body began to solidify.

I was really shocked by the elixir that Shen Lang took out. It was simply the elixir Spirit Medicine. It could heal my injuries so quickly. I quickly thanked him: "Thank you so much for saving my life."

Shen Lang shook his head and said: "Now I just stopped the bleeding from your wound. The Blood Condensation needle in your body has not been taken out yet. If the Blood Condensation needle cannot be discharged from the body within three days, you will still die. .”

The expression of the man in black changed again. Unexpectedly, his injury was still not cured. Shen Lang continued: "Don't worry, since I want to save you, I can naturally take out those Blood Condensation needles. Now you answer my question first." Let’s talk about the problem later.”

Life or death was in someone else's hands. The man in black had to answer honestly and took off the black cloth covering his face. As expected, it was Brother Zhao during the day. Shen Lang already knew his identity, so he was not surprised.

"Who are you, and what is your relationship with those secret guards?" Shen Lang asked directly.

The man in black smiled miserably, not expecting that the secret that had been hidden for so many years would be revealed: "My name is Zhao Hu, and I was the commander of the secret guards back then."

Shen Lang had a clear look on his face. He had already guessed Zhao Hu's identity, otherwise his expression would not have changed drastically as soon as he saw the secret guards.

"Why did you leave the secret guards? With your ability, how can you stay in the small Yuzhou City with peace of mind?"

Zhao Hu showed a reminiscing look, as if the events of that year were still vivid in his mind, and said softly: "I was already one of the commanders of the secret guards before the King of Yue came to the throne. Originally, the secret guards were only responsible for He was responsible for protecting the safety of the King of Yue, and at the same time, he was responsible for monitoring the officials and spying on the enemy, but everything changed after the King of Yue came to the throne."

Having said this, Zhao Hu couldn't help but lick his chapped lips. Shen Lang didn't rush him and slowly waited for his narration.

"The current King of Yue has begun to require our secret guards to adopt more orphans and train them. This was originally a normal thing, but the King of Yue asked us to train these orphans more strictly. Although the training of the secret guards was originally very strict, the King of Yue asked us to be like devils. Train them in the same way, and these orphans must be completely loyal to the King of Yue."

Shen Lang asked curiously: "Isn't this normal? The King of Yue just wants them to be more outstanding."

Zhao Hu shook his head with a bitter look on his face: "We thought so too at the time. The other three commanders also made suggestions to the King of Yue. Not long after, these three people disappeared. At that time, I couldn't help but want to ask the King of Yue, but He only told me that the duty of the secret guard is to obey the King of Yue obediently."

Shen Lang was puzzled by the actions of the King of Yue. These commanders were just worried that the orphans would suffer too many casualties, so why did the King of Yue take action to deal with them.

Zhao Hu said with fear: "At that time, I could only obey the orders of the King of Yue. After all, the secret guards were born to only obey the King of Yue. But I didn't expect that this batch of trained secret guards would not only perform their previous tasks under the instructions of the King of Yue. , and continued to assassinate ministers who opposed the King of Yue's decrees, and also exterminated those Jianghu sects who opposed the King of Yue, even babies."

Only then did Shen Lang understand in his heart that he had never expected that the Yue king would be so cruel. On the surface, the Yue country was prosperous, but as the leader of a country, he secretly used such methods. It seemed that his ambition was not small.

"At that time, when I was on several missions, I also wanted to plead for those innocent people, but the secret guards did not listen to my orders at all. Although I was the commander of the secret guards, the only master in their hearts was the King of Yue. I’ve been more careful since then, for fear of disappearing like the three of them.”

Zhao Hu's face turned pale as he recalled this painful past. Shen Lang also understood that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, but he did not expect that the Yue King had such a strong desire to control.

"Later, Lord Wen, a veteran minister in the court, objected to the King of Yue's wanton training of troops. Although the King of Yue agreed on the surface, he secretly sent secret guards to kill all the fifty-six male and female veterans of Lord Wen's family. Lord Wen was a veteran of three dynasties and was devoted to the country. , and finally died in the hands of the King of Yue. Since then, I have escaped from the secret guards, and I am afraid that one day I will die in such an unknown way."

Shen Lang sighed, he didn't expect that the King of Yue, who appeared to be a great and talented man, would be so ruthless in his actions. He was truly worthy of being an emperor and would do anything to achieve his goals.
