Chapter 196: Extre asure (I)
Putting all the people’s lives in the city at stake had hit Long’s bottom line. So, he definitely wouldn’t spare the evil people.
If there were people from Eastern Darkness behind the scenes, he would surely fight back!
Long would just deal with them as they had done to him!
Nations could fight, but they shouldn’t be so an!
It was shaful to do so!
Long and Shi went to the street.
This was a major city, so the managent was very strict. Although the situation was bleak, people were still running business to maintain daily life.
So stores were still open.
Long and Shi walked into a shop at will.
There was only a shopkeeper in there and they didn’t see any other servants.
“What can I do for you?” The shopkeeper asked.
Long said casually, “You’re the only one here? Where are the others?”
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly. “They’re dead.”
Long was stunned. Then, he sighed. “A lot of people in the city have died, right?”
The shopkeeper was honest. “Compared with the plague more than ten years ago, this ti is much better. Only a dozen people died. Moreover, we’ve got an excellent doctor here and the plague is under control.”
Long felt a little relieved when he heard that, so he said with a smile, “Yes, that doctor is really capable. We must trust him. He will cure all the people in the city.”
The shopkeeper looked at Long and Shi carefully.
“You don’t look like you are sick...”
Long laughed. “Oh really? What makes you think so?”
The shopkeeper shook his head. “You aren’t sick... Ahem.” While speaking, the shopkeeper began to cough violently.
It could be seen that he was also infected, but it was not serious. Otherwise, he wouldn’t keep doing business here.
Looking at the shopkeeper, Long said, “You’re also infected. Have a good rest.”
The shopkeeper waved. “It’s okay. You look distinguished. Haha. Do you need to buy anything here?”
Long slowly shook his head. “No, we don’t. We just want to have a look... By the way, do you find anything suspicious these days?”
“Hmm?” The shopkeeper was stunned. He didn’t understand what Long ant.
Long smiled bitterly and said, “This plague is a natural disaster, but I think so people may also be involved... Sir, in order not to cause more trouble, you’d better keep it secret. I just want to know if you see any strange people in the city these days.”
Common people had their own ways to get information. For those who were running shops where many people would co and go, they were always well-inford. Long noticed that the shopkeeper was still clear-minded, so he wanted to try his luck.
The governnt still didn’t know that the plague was caused by so people.
“Ah...” The shopkeeper was shocked. Then, he beca very angry and said, “So people caused this? They must be insane.”
Hearing this, Long had to say, “It wasn’t totally caused by them, but they’re part of the reason. Sir, you see a lot of people coming and going. Have you heard of any strange things?”
The shopkeeper began to think carefully. A mont later, the shopkeeper said, “What you said reminds of sothing. Well... that was seven or eight days ago. The plague here was already very serious. There’s a man called Wang Er. He likes stealing, so nobody likes him. He also likes to boast. On that day, he ca to my shop and said that he saw a ghost by the river. He followed the ghost and saw that it went to Yihong House. He laughed and said that ghosts also liked won...”
Long and Shi looked at each other and found sothing aningful in each other’s eyes.
They knew that river, where the water had been poisoned.
Yihong House... Were those people hiding in that brothel?
Long and Shi got the clue. Whether it was real or not, they decided to go to have a look.
But... “Qingzhou, let’s stay outside. The Shadow Guardians can deal with things inside.”
After a short silence, Shi nodded. “Okay.”
There was another brothel opposite Yihong House, but no ordinary n would go there at this special ti.
Long and Shi entered that brothel and threw an ingot of silver to the madam there. Then, they went straight up to the second floor and looked at Yihong House opposite them. A dozen Shadow Guardians had gone to that place...
Originally, they just wanted to have a check because they didn’t know whether the clue was true or not. They didn’t expect that people there began to fight soon. A lot of won scread one after another and they could hear it clearly even in the brothel opposite.
Long was surprised. “They’re really there!”
Shi looked at the opposite side with cold eyes.
At this ti, two Shadow Guardians and three n began to fight on the roof of Yihong House.
Shi’s eyes flashed with coldness. “I’ll go help them.”
Long hurriedly grabbed Shi’s hand. “Let’s just watch. Don’t you trust the Shadow Guardians?”
Shi pursed his lips. His eyes beca a little red and he stared at the roof.
Suddenly, a Shadow Guardian was caught off guard and kicked.
The next mont, Shi rushed out.
“Qingzhou!” Long scread and frowned.
Ying Feng appeared. “Master, don’t go. It’s dangerous.”
Long also knew that he could not be exposed, so he knitted his brows and could only watch the fight over there.
With Shi’s participation, the three n were killed soon.
Shi was standing on the roof with a soft sword in his hand. Long seed to see a king of killers over there.
The will of fighting and killing at the bottom of Shi’s heart was too strong to be controlled.
Looking at Shi like that, Long felt very worried. He had to find a way. He had to make sure that Shi wouldn’t go to kill when he was by Shi’s side...
Long’s eyes flickered. After making the decision, he turned and went downstairs.
Ying Feng was surprised. He didn’t know what Long was going to do, so he said, “Master.”
“Don’t talk too much. Ying Feng, just follow in the dark. Don’t show yourself.”
Those words shocked Ying Feng. “Master! You can’t do that!”
Long said coldly, “This is an order! Don’t do anything even if I’m in danger!”
As Ying Feng was still in shock, Long had arrived downstairs.
Ying Feng gritted his teeth and could only follow in the dark.
He didn’t expect that Long was going to Yihong House as fast as he could.
Standing on the roof of Yihong House, Shi had seen Long’s action.
Shi saw that Long was going there and his pupils shrank violently.
When he noticed that Ying Feng was far away from Long, his eyes turned dark red...
At the next mont, Shi jumped down from the roof and rushed to Yihong House.
Ying Feng seed to have understood why Long did that.
He thought for a mont. Finally, he clenched his fists and didn’t follow Long into the room.
