Chapter 150 Death Soldier
"Who poisoned me?"

The first thing Liang Jin thought of was the scene on Hualong Island where his clone encountered the poison master Li Xueqing.

Li Xueqing's method of poisoning was so mysterious that Liang Jin still couldn't figure it out.

Could it be that today, I also encountered a powerful poison master like Li Xueqing?
"No!"

"I'm overthinking it, maybe it's very simple."

The pot of tea in Liang Jin's study was prepared by the servants.

Then the servant who made the tea should be the first suspect!
Liang Jin immediately rushed out of the door and jumped onto the roof.

Then he scanned the surroundings with cold eyes and shouted:
"Who prepared the tea in my study?"

Several servants and maids nearby heard the sound and hurriedly replied:

"My lord, it was Li San, the new servant, who brought it into your study."

Liang Jin asked again:

"Where is Li San?"

Upon hearing this, the servants hurriedly looked for the servant named Li San.

Liang Jin stood on the roof, looking down from above, and opened the [Thousand Mile Tracking] panel.

The strength of [Thousand Miles Tracking] lies in the fact that it doesn't matter whether the other party uses a real name, a pseudonym, or a nickname.

As long as he is indeed called Li San these days, he can't escape.

really.

Liang Jin quickly locked onto the target.

"So, you were hiding here!"

Liang Jin moved and quickly moved in one direction.

Gao Hongzhe was confused when he saw this scene.

However, the experienced Cangdu had quickly guessed something.

He hurriedly called a guard in and gave him a few instructions.

The guard took out a sparrow from his sleeve and then fed the bird some tea.

After a while, the sparrow's body became stiff and it died soon.

"This tea is poisonous!"

No matter how slow Gao Hongzhe was at this point, he understood what was going on.

He said hurriedly:

"Master Cang, it definitely wasn't Brother Meng who poisoned us. He wouldn't harm us!"

Cangdu said:

"I didn't say it was him."

"It's my fault for being careless. It seems someone has been watching us."

These days, Cangdu and his group were very cautious and carefully checked the food and water before eating.

But this time when he came to Liang Jin's house, Cangdu did not think that Liang Jin would harm him, and when he saw Liang Jin and Gao Hongzhe drinking the same pot of tea, he gradually felt relieved.

However, he didn't expect that when he relaxed for a moment, the enemy in the dark took the opportunity to poison him.

At this time.

Outside the study, a figure fell from the sky.

The two looked and saw that it was Liang Jin who came.

Liang Jin was holding a dead body in his hand, which was Li San.

Liang Jin looked very unhappy:

"When this guy saw me chasing him, he immediately committed suicide by taking poison."

"He even stabbed himself in the neck after taking the poison, fearing he would be revived."

"A person who is so ruthless and decisive even when attacking himself must have been a death warrior trained for many years."

"Ordinary people can't afford to support such a group of assassins. Who did you offend?"

Liang Jin believed that Li San was definitely not coming for him.

So far, he has not committed any crime that could support such a dead big shot.

As Liang Jin spoke, he threw Li San's body to the detectives from the investigation station.

These detectives are professionals in investigation and maybe they can get some clues from the body.

But Liang Jin didn't have much hope for this.

This assassin looks very professional, so it's probably difficult for him to leave any clues.

Cangdu said:

"Young Master Meng, let's go inside and talk."

So the three of them returned to the study and continued their secret conversation.

After sitting down, Cangdu looked at Liang Jin and said:

"Young Master Meng doesn't seem to be afraid of this poison?"

Cang Du saw Liang Jin drinking a lot of tea, and was sure that Liang Jin determined that the tea was poisonous after drinking it.

Those with profound internal skills can rely on their internal strength to force out the poison in their bodies.

But this behavior is also fraught with danger.

There are some strange poisons specifically targeting masters of internal skills, which are often very scary.

Even those with strong internal strength can only temporarily suppress the poison. Without an antidote, it is difficult to avoid the harm. Before being poisoned, no one can be sure what kind of poison is in the tea they drink.

That's why Cangdu was full of confusion and interest in Liang Jin's behavior.

Liang Jin replied:

"You don't think I have an antidote for this poison?"

"Or do you think I'm playing a trick to gain Lord Cang's trust?"

"I just have another trick up my sleeve. If you believe me, Lord Cang, please don't change the subject and be direct."

"If Lord Cang has any doubts about me, then Lord Cang will leave at ease."

Cangdu looked at Liang Jin, as if he wanted to tell whether he was genuine or not.

Liang Jin looked at him calmly, waiting for his decision.

finally.

Cangdu nodded to show that he understood:
"Of course I trust Young Master Meng."

"Our mission this time needs to be kept strictly confidential."

"But since Young Master Meng asked, I'll reveal a little bit."

Gao Hongzhe couldn't help but sit up straight.

He still doesn't know why Cangdu and his group came to the Western Desert.

I only heard Cangdu continue to say:

"We came to the Western Desert to track down something lost by the imperial court."

"An internal spy colluded with the enemy and stole something to the Western Desert."

Upon hearing this, Gao Hongzhe looked at Liang Jin.

He had heard from Liang Jin that a theft had occurred in the palace a while ago.

Cangdu continued:

"We've received intelligence that the thing will appear in a place called Hidden Wind Valley in a while."

“That’s the goal of our trip.”

"But this time the enemy is strong. We have fought against them once before."

"To be honest, we were at a disadvantage in that fight, and many of our brothers died."

"But our mission still needs to be completed, so I hope to recruit talented people from the Western Desert to assist us."

"We came to see Young Master Meng today because we want to ask for his help."

Cangdu stopped talking here.

It seemed like he mentioned the mission, but it was actually the same as saying nothing.

What is missing?
Who stole it?
Who are their opponents?
What do you want to do by stealing this thing?
Cang glossed over a series of questions.

But looking at Cangdu's expression, you can tell that he is a tight-lipped person and probably won't reveal anything easily.

Liang Jin asked:
"I know your mission needs to be kept secret."

"But I just want to know two questions."

"First, who exactly is the enemy and how strong is he?"

Cangdu replied:
"I didn't tell you because I was afraid I'd scare you to death."

Liang Jin smiled slightly. This kind of provocation was meaningless.

Cangdu then spoke:
"To be more precise, the enemy this time is the Evil Slayer King of the Black Dragon Dynasty."

"The last person I fought was one of Tu Xie Wang's men, a peak fourth-grade warrior whose martial arts skills were higher than mine."

"If Young Master Meng helps us, we won't be afraid of him."

Liang Jin and Gao Hongzhe were both surprised to hear this answer.

The Black Dragon Dynasty is a country in the north that is hostile to the Daqian Dynasty.

The Black Dragon Dynasty got its name from the worship of black dragons, and even their capital was called "Dragon City".

Two years before the Daqian Dynasty, there was a war with the Black Dragon Dynasty, but it ended in failure.

Although the Black Dragon Dynasty won, it was a pyrrhic victory.

The two sides then chose to cease fire, but the fighting in secret never stopped.

At the same time, the Black Dragon Dynasty also borders the Western Desert.

This makes sense.

Someone stole important things from the imperial court. If they went directly north, it would be difficult for them to cross the heavily guarded border of Daqian.

If you choose to enter the Western Desert from Daqian, and then enter the Black Dragon Dynasty through the Western Desert.

This route is much easier.

The Daqian Dynasty was no longer able to control the Western Desert, but it could not allow the enemy to control it either.

At the same time, there is another powerful country bordering this place, the Kingdom of Shali.

The checks and balances between these three powers, coupled with the constant swings and jumps of some small countries, have resulted in the Western Desert still having no owner and becoming a buffer zone.

Liang Jin didn't know much about the Black Dragon Dynasty, and he had no idea who the Demon-Slaying King was.

But since he can be called king, his status must be good.

We can get a glimpse of this from the fact that one of his subordinates is a top-level fourth-grade master.

Liang Jin then asked:
"The second question is, what benefits can you bring to me?"
