Even with her eyes closed, Xu Ling could tell who was coming.
This voice was all too familiar to him.
While Xu Ling was still looking for this adult, a voice came from the room.
"Guard Xu has sent me in."
Xu Ling quickly turned around.
On the chair in the room, an old man with a yellow face and a skinny face was sitting on the chair. At hand was the tea that Xu Ling had brewed for himself.
To be honest, this was the first time he had truly seen the true face of this adult in such a bright environment.
Seeing this, Xu Ling quickly lowered his head and said, "Sir... you have to listen to my explanation of this matter."
The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Okay, Governor Xu can explain to me why he gave me my hiding place."
When Xu Ling was about to speak, the old man took the lead and added: "If I'm not satisfied with this explanation, it's up to you whether you can see the sun tomorrow."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xu Ling swallowed them back alive.
He had expected this to happen before, so he naturally thought of the rhetoric.
But when the adult threatened him, Xu Ling's mind started to spin rapidly.
I immediately realized that there were many contradictions in the rhetoric I had originally prepared.
It is not easy to deceive this gentleman.
This is a matter that concerns your own life, so you can't be careless.
Seeing this, the old man said, "Why didn't Governor Xu say anything?"
Xu Ling quickly shouted, "Sir, this is really unfair."
The old man looked calm, just tapped his finger on the table, and asked: "Zheng Zhenxu didn't say anything, so why did he say it unjustly?"
Fortunately, Xu Ling had prepared another argument in his mind. After summarizing the first set of arguments, he said, "Sir, I am infiltrating the inside for you. Even though I betrayed your hiding place, sir." Yes, but I have paid special attention before that you would not be hiding in the secret room in broad daylight, so this is nothing, and I have not revealed your whereabouts, my lord."
The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Ling with a smile.
As a lieutenant of Xu Zhen, there really is no need to draft a lie.
Xu Ling was still talking, getting more and more enthusiastic as he talked, as if the things he did were really what he said.
If he were a dumber person, he might really have been deceived by Xu Ling's lies.
The old man suddenly interrupted: "Mr. Xu Zhen, is this your reason?"
Xu Ling was shocked.
He had almost convinced himself, and he didn't think there was any loophole in the argument he thought of.
The old man said in a deep voice: "It seems that the Governor of Xu Town is still not very smart, so what's your fate..."
"Plop!"
Xu Ling knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
At this time, he squeezed out two tears and said mournfully: "Sir, I am really unjust... The sun and the moon can tell, I have done these things entirely for you, my lord."
The old man stood up slightly, half of his body hunched over, and remained calm.
Xu Ling was still kowtowing and saying all kinds of good things.
The old man smiled and said: "Guardian Xu Zhen, I am a bit old, but I am not stupid."
Then, he waved his hand and said, "Guardian Xu Zhen is still useful to me, so I will keep your life for now."
Xu Ling knelt and moved to the old man's feet, thanking him repeatedly.
"Chief Commander Xu, remember to keep an eye on the kid named Gu these days. I will naturally do the rest."
Xu Ling asked: "Sir, what else can you do besides keeping an eye on him?"
"Guardian Xu, just follow my instructions. Remember to clean my secret room as well. I have already disposed of the corpses there. I won't say much else."
Xu Ling responded repeatedly.
The old man walked out of the door with a smile and said calmly: "I hope Governor Xu will not disappoint me again."
In the dark night, the old man turned into a wisp of wind and disappeared into the night.
...
Hao Hao has obviously improved.
In the past few days, his face has turned a little brighter, and he can already walk.
However, after Leng Qingqiu's examination, it was found that the toxins in his body were only a little weaker and had not completely dissipated.
All the white flowers collected from the corpse have been turned into elixirs by Gu Xiaotian.
Just taking this elixir all the time, Gu Xiaotian was worried about the side effects.
Even if the current situation is good, the origin of this flower is unknown after all, and it grows on a corpse, which is a bit unlucky, so Gu Xiaotian did not let Hao Hao continue to take it.
Hao Hao's most important task at the moment is to recover from his injuries quickly and recover as much as possible.
Naturally, Leng Qingqiu and Gu Xiaotian took care of the rest.
In the past few days, Xu Ling has naturally become much more honest in front of Gu Xiaotian.
Basically, wherever Gu Xiaotian goes, he follows.
As for the flattery, I still have to say it.
Even if Gu Xiaotian doesn't like to hear it, he still has to say it.
In his opinion, it is better to say these flattery words than not say them at all. Throughout the ages, how many people do not like to listen to flattery?
The fact that he was able to serve as the guardian, did so many shady things, and still survive to this day, among other things, was due to this mouth.
People in Wolong Town are still in panic.
Although no one died tragically on the streets in the past few days, the news of Hao Hao's poisoning has spread widely. These townspeople are ordinary people, not warriors. They can't even bear a warrior, let alone them.
In short, on the streets of Wolong Town now, even if the sun will not set for a long time, there are not many people visible on the streets.
After knowing the location of the secret room, Gu Xiaotian would patrol it basically every day, trying to find some clues in the secret room.
However, the body in the secret room had already been secretly disposed of.
As for other items in the secret room, they were also taken away.
This secret room is now an empty shell.
This made Gu Xiaotian think about it without thinking.
Where did this person hide?
Xu Ling, who was standing behind Gu Xiaotian, swallowed silently and stepped forward to interrupt: "Sir, you have been running here every now and then for the past three days and you can't find anything. In my opinion, let's forget it."
Gu Xiaotian turned to look at Xu Ling, frowned and said, "Did the Chief of Staff Xu know something?"
Xu Ling quickly shook his head.
Gu Xiaotian sneered: "Guardian Xu Zhen really doesn't know?"
Xu Ling nodded quickly.
Gu Xiaotian stared at Xu Ling, but did not delve into it.
Xu Ling felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Gu Xiaotian, but she still didn't say a word.
Gu Xiaotian still searched in the secret room for a while as usual, hoping to find something missing.
These missing things may become the key to breaking the situation.
However, Xu Ling was so frightened by the old man last time that she didn't dare to be careless in doing things. She almost cleaned the secret room from top to bottom, not to mention the things, just to find a hair. He loses!
After searching to no avail, Gu Xiaotian had no choice but to return to the town again.
However, as soon as he returned to the town, Gu Xiaotian's right eye twitched.
Old people often say that if the left eye jumps to wealth, the right eye jumps to disaster.
Gu Xiaotian frowned, with some bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, it was noon now, but I saw many people packing their luggage and running out like crazy.
Gu Xiaotian turned around and asked, "Chief Xu Zhen, what's going on?"
Xu Ling was also a little confused.
But soon, Xu Ling understood.
This is where the adult took action.
Immediately, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Sir, I really don't know.
, I have been under your nose for the past few days. If I want to rebel, can I still hide from your eyes? "
Leng Qingqiu happened to arrive at the gate of the town at this time. When he saw Gu Xiaotian coming back, he explained: "Two monsters appeared at the end of the town. These townspeople are afraid that they will be in danger if they continue to stay."
Gu Xiaotian couldn't figure it out and asked: "How come there are two more monsters in this good person for no reason?"
Leng Qingqiu said: "Those two monsters are townspeople."
Gu Xiaotian was shocked and immediately went to check.
Because he was a demon, Leng Qingqiu had no choice but to kill him with his sword.
The two corpses had been pulled back to Xu Ling's mansion at this time. As usual, Gu Xiaotian cut open the chest of a demon and took out the heart.
Xu Ling felt a little nauseous, but couldn't express it, so she had to endure it.
Holding the heart in his hand, Gu Xiaotian frowned and handed it to Leng Qingqiu to see.
Leng Qingqiu whispered: "The art of mind control."
Gu Xiaotian nodded, which was undoubtedly consistent with the hearts of the previous demons.
They all fall into the trap of mind control.
Gu Xiaotian thought about everything carefully, and in the end he could only draw one conclusion.
Someone from the Leng family has already reached the vicinity of Wolong Town.
Gu Xiaotian had more or less understood these townspeople before. They were really just ordinary townspeople. There were absolutely no hidden masters living here looking for a happy life.
Now it seems that the person behind Xu Ling must be from the Leng family.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaotian drew out his sharp sword and placed it on Xu Ling's neck.
Xu Ling trembled with fright and asked quickly: "Sir, what does this mean?"
Gu Xiaotian said coldly: "Call out the person behind you."
Xu Ling quickly clarified: "Sir, I have been by your side these past few days. If there is any trouble on my side, you should have noticed it long ago. You can't put the blame on me no matter what. "
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Chief Xu Zhen, do you think that if I kill you now, the person behind you will show up?"
Xu Ling shivered.
At the same time, I was thinking over and over in my mind.
Is he worth it to that adult for him to show up?
It seems to be worth it. After all, the master spared his life during the conversation that night. In order to repay the master, he helped the master clean the secret room. In a reasonable and emotional way, the master still valued his own life. That's right.
It doesn't seem worth it. After all, he is just a small town guardian. He has no strength and no influence.
It's just that I can talk a little, and I'm really good at work.
But finding a replacement is not a matter of minutes?
The more Xu Ling thought about it, the more clueless she felt.
At the same time, he slowly put his hands behind his back.
His vigilance is still high, and the poison basically stays with him while sleeping and is well hidden.
Just for moments like this.
Xu Ling stepped back slightly, and while Gu Xiaotian was still thinking, he had already spread the poison.
Gu Xiaotian was startled and quickly raised his arms to block it.
Xu Ling took advantage of this opportunity and immediately rushed to the door and fled in a hurry.
Just as Gu Xiaotian wanted to chase after him, he suddenly felt a sense of discomfort all over his body, and he fell to the ground.
While he was still conscious, Gu Xiaotian looked at his arm and saw that it was turning black and purple!
He was a little surprised.
This poison could actually penetrate his natural hegemonic body?
