Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

Although they were very sleepy, Lian Li and Yun Huizhou still cheered up and asked some questions, and the answers they got were similar to those of the first group of people.

Captain Zheng knew that they were inquiring about the situation in the imperial mausoleum, so he specially asked other people separately from them, and their statements were basically consistent.

Captain Zheng's expression became increasingly unclear, but Lian Li saw that when daybreak was about to begin, Captain Zheng called a team member, and the two of them left alone for a while.

When Captain Zheng came back, the team member had not returned.

After daybreak, there were still more than a thousand zombies scattered outside the city wall. Captain Zheng organized people to lead these zombies to a large pit on a wasteland three miles away and burn them.

After dealing with those zombies that can still move, we will deal with those zombies whose limbs are not strong enough to support their movements.

Knowing that Yun Huizhou wanted to go to the vicinity of the imperial mausoleum to take a look at the situation, Captain Zheng did not call Lian Li and Yun Huizhou to join the operation. He asked them to return to the inn in the city to rest in the morning and go in the afternoon.

After two days and one night, although Yun Huizhou and Lian Li could still hold on, they were not prepared to go near the imperial mausoleum in this state.

So he left the city wall and found the nearest inn.

The innkeeper naturally recognized the two of them. Apart from Captain Zheng, they were the two who made the greatest contribution in defending the city yesterday.

Every time the morale of the defenders was low, the two of them would always jump outside the city to clean up the zombies.

If it weren't for their actions, which made the defenders always believe that they could hold the city from the monsters, I'm afraid that when the pile of zombies reached five meters high, some people would have thrown down their weapons and weapons.

Because the city was only defended for one day, the supplies in the city were quite abundant. The innkeeper was very enthusiastic and arranged two rooms for them, and sent them the best meals and hot water.

Even though the innkeeper kept saying thank you to them and said they didn't have to pay, the two men didn't want to get it for free and they didn't need the money.

After waking up, the two had lunch, bought some dry food, and left Jiaopan City and headed towards the imperial mausoleum.

On the way to the imperial mausoleum, they saw many corpses of people from the martial arts world, including disciples of their sects and others.

"It seems that some people escaped, but failed to reach Jiaopan City." Lian Li said softly.

Yun Huizhou: "Be careful."

The two walked to a corpse. Lian Li stared at the corpse's face for a long time and said, "He was not poisoned to death. He was killed after being poisoned."

Knowing that the man had been poisoned before his death, Yun Huizhou did not touch the body directly, but gently turned over the corpse on the ground with his scabbard.

"This is the result of the most common sword technique. There is no way out." Yun Huizhou said.

After saying that, the two of them prepared to move forward. Lian Li used a whip to wrap up the corpse and placed it under the tree next to him. He then raised his hand to lift up the fallen leaves and weeds to cover the corpse.

There is no time to bury them now, so we can only deal with them simply like this and let them rest in peace.

However, Yun Huizhou's eyes fixed after seeing Lian Li moving the corpse.

He stared at the palm of the corpse until Lian Li covered the corpse with fallen leaves.

They continued to move forward and found that most of the dead were killed by the most common knife or sword techniques.

Some even just used a dagger to cut the throat directly, leaving no clue at all.

But Yun Huizhou always made a point to take a look at the exposed parts of the corpse, such as the palms and wrists.

After looking at several bodies, he showed a disappointed expression, but did not give up. Instead, he moved his gaze to the feet of the corpse.

Lian Li noticed his abnormal behavior and walked over to him to ask him what he had discovered.

But before he could finish his words, he saw Yun Huizhou pointing at the ankles of the two newly discovered bodies.

Lian Li looked over there and found that there was a hole so small that it was almost invisible on the ankles of the shoes of the two corpses.

Although the locations are not exactly the same, they are all on the ankles, insteps, etc.

"This is..." Lian Li slightly widened his eyes: "A tiny needle-shaped hidden weapon?"

Yun Huizhou: "It could also be a poisonous insect."

Lian Li thought so too. Such a low position was just the right place for insects to climb up. If they climbed any higher, they would probably be discovered.

Moreover, one of the two corpses was wearing relatively thin cloth boots, while the other was wearing cloth shoes.

Thinking about the scorpions and spiders that I saw in the Spiritual Sect that were almost as big as my palms, I should be able to pierce them easily.

Lian Li recalled the people who escaped last night and said, "The shoes of the people who escaped last night seemed to have much higher defense than cloth shoes."

Yun Huizhou said: "It seems to be the case. Their shoes are relatively thick, so they were not hit."

Lian Li didn't know what to say for a moment and looked down at his shoes.

Well, the quality is pretty good and it shouldn't be easily pierced by scorpions and spiders.

Since coming here, Lian Li has basically been with Yun Huizhou. Apart from the Qinghong Sword Sect, he has never been to any other sects, and doesn't know many people from other sects.

However, Yun Huizhou basically hung out with Zhao Honglan and Qu Tingquan before Lian Li came, so he knew quite a lot of the sect's disciples.

Among the dead people, he saw someone familiar.

Yun Huizhou stood aside and looked at the dead person on the ground with his eyes open. He had no expression and cut off the cloth from his clothes to cover the person's face.

In fact, not many people died on the road. The two could only judge from the few people Yun Huizhou knew that their martial arts skills were not bad, but they were only average among those who entered the imperial mausoleum.

But perhaps many years later, they can all become the backbone of the sect.

Lian Li gently pressed his thumb on his lips, and after a while he said to Yun Huizhou: "Counting the people who came out yesterday and the people who died here, more than half of them are still in the imperial mausoleum."

Yun Huizhou paused for a moment and suddenly said, "Come to think of it, Uncle Master said before that Alliance Leader Zhao was also in Jiaopan City. We didn't seem to see him yesterday."

Lian Li replied subconsciously: "That might be entering the imperial mausoleum."

After saying this, Lian Li suddenly realized that Zhao Rong must have known that the treasure in the imperial mausoleum was a scam, so his purpose of going in was definitely not for the treasure.

Thinking of the reason why Qu Tingquan went in, Lian Li's expression suddenly became complicated.

He admires and respects people like them, but it is difficult for him to become such a person, and he does not want the people around him to become such a person.

"After Alliance Leader Zhao goes in, Miss Qu will be much safer if she joins him. With Alliance Leader Zhao's organization, their danger will be less." Yun Huizhou said.

"Yeah." Lian Li replied softly.

The two men walked forward for a while, and suddenly stopped at the same time. Without any communication, they took out their weapons at the same time, and one of them attacked to one side.
