The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

It turned out to be him. Shen Xianli was silent.

Zhang Zhisheng's throat was smoking with thirst, and he leaned against the wall boredly, smoking wild grass roots.

"gone!"

Zhang Zhisheng felt weak all over, hungry, and thirsty...

"Master Du, how about we go find something to eat? I'm exhausted and haven't eaten anything all day."

Zhang Zhisheng didn't want to move, so naturally the other guards didn't want to move either.

Du Liang was also hungry. He had only eaten half a meal in the town last time and had finished the few pancakes in his arms.

There is no one living in this area within a radius of ten miles. Where can you find food? Even if you want to rob it, there is nowhere to steal.

"Stop talking nonsense and get up quickly. You'll have to eat when you get the food."

Judging from the expressions of the others, they probably knew that there was nothing to eat and they had to get up and work.

Shen Xianli and the other three survivors were tied with a rope and walked towards the place where they were captured before.

After circling around for an unknown number of times, Du Liang grabbed Shen Xianli's rope, causing Shen Xianli to stagger and fall to the ground.

"Are you kidding us?"

Du Liang's face was gloomy, and he looked at Shen Xianli with dark eyes.

Shen Xianli felt dizzy due to excessive blood loss and didn't react for a long time.

Smelling the fragrance of the green grass on the ground, Shen Xianli felt a little confused.

"Or you could just kill me."

Seeing Shen Xianli looking like he was about to die, Du Liang's heart skipped a beat.

"Hey, hey, wake up."

Du Liang shook Shen Xianli, and Shen Xianli forced himself to open his eyes.

Du Liang was relieved and yelled at Zhang Zhisheng resentfully:

"It's all your fault. You hit me so hard that I almost killed him. If you don't get the thing, you can expect to die as an apology."

Zhang Zhisheng looked innocent and just fell to the ground and didn't get up when he heard it.

"Why do you blame me? It was you who said you would torture him severely and force him to tell you where the secret letter is. Now you're blaming me."

He turned over and faced Du Liang with his back. "I'll die if I want to. I'm going to starve to death before the adults know."

idiot!

Du Liang was so angry that he wanted to whip him, and he also felt a little resentful towards the adults for letting him come with him.

The situation was now a bit stagnant, and everyone was too hungry to move on.

Shen Xianli thought it was a pity. It was such a good opportunity, but the people around him were either dead or injured and unable to escape.

With the mentality that no one should have an easy time, Shen Xianli said:

"I really put it under the rock where you caught me, but my vision was blurry at night and I can't remember where it was."

Du Liang stood reluctantly, still feeling somewhat suspicious.

"You really didn't send it out? If you lie to me, I'll make sure you die miserably."

Shen Xianli laughed at himself, "Scholars don't tell lies. We got separated at the time, and I only found out later that he had escaped. If I had known earlier, I would have given him the things."

Du Liang intuitively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find where the problem was.

There is no other way but to keep looking.

"What kind of a lousy place is this? It's all trees."

Zhang Zhisheng was really exhausted. He had never seen so many trees in Yuanning before and felt dizzy.

Suddenly, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach. Thinking of the two green fruits he picked in the morning, he got upset. Zhang Zhisheng shouted, "Ouch, my stomach is a little uncomfortable. Wait for me."

Du Liang, who was walking in front, regretted very much why he brought this idiot with him. All he did every day was eat and poop.

"Keep going. No need to wait for him."

Zhang Zhisheng hid behind a tree, squatting there with a relaxed look on his face.

At this moment, someone patted his shoulder, which scared him.

He squeezed his buttocks, feeling unsatisfied, and turned his head impatiently, ready to curse.

After seeing who it was, he was knocked unconscious by a palm before he could say anything. As luck would have it, he fell on the pile of yellow and white stuff.

"vomit!"

Meng Hai, who knocked Zhang Zhisheng unconscious, almost vomited the biscuits he had just eaten at noon. If he had known earlier, he would have let him put on his clothes and knocked him unconscious.

Failed!

He couldn't kill him directly, so Meng Hai was in a dilemma.

Forget it, the Fourth Master and his men will catch up soon, he is ahead to gather information.

Now that he has seen the figure of his son-in-law, Meng Hai goes up and strikes him with a knife, and he will probably be unconscious for a whole day.

Enduring the discomfort, Meng Hai tied the man up and tied him to a tree, then hurried back to report the news.

Du Liang and his group were walking when suddenly someone caught up with them. No one in front looked back.

The guard walking at the back felt someone approaching him and thought it was Zhang Zhisheng.

"Brother Zhang, are you back?"

Before he could finish his words, he fainted on the ground.

The incident happened suddenly and no one reacted.

The masked man scattered a handful of ash. After inhaling it, the five people who were close to him felt weak all over and fainted within two breaths.

Du Liang realized that something was wrong and pulled Shen Xianli in front of him.

"Be alert!!"

The remaining eight people quickly formed a circle and looked at the newcomer vigilantly.

More than twenty people slowly came out from all directions. When Du Liang saw one of them clearly, his face turned extremely bad.

"It's you?! How is that possible?"

Du Liang couldn't believe it. It would take at least three days to travel from here to the capital, which means six days for the round trip.

Li Wei looked at his master who was tortured beyond recognition and was filled with rage.

He shouted sternly, "Why don't you surrender now?"

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

Du Liang cursed loudly, "Shen Xianli is in my hands now. If you don't want him to die here, retreat!"

Du Liang hid behind Shen Xianli and spoke in a timid tone.

I was extremely panicked, knowing that the situation was hopeless and that today would be a very bad day.

Duan Jingan watched the scene quietly, and her eyes met Shen Xianli's.

Shen Xianli breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was his brother-in-law who had come.

Duan Jing'an signaled Shen Xianli with his eyes, and Shen Xianli nodded silently.

Just as the situation became tense, Shen Xianli suddenly shouted, "Li Wei, don't worry about me. The secret letter is under the stone to your right. Go!"

Du Liang didn't care about anything else when he heard it.

"Go quickly!"

Du Liang also let go of Shen Xianli's hand. The most important thing at this moment was to get the thing.

At this moment, Du Liang saw that the pedestrian did not try to rob, and realized that he had fallen into a trap.

Duan Jing'an ordered at the same time as Shen Xianli spoke: "Protect Lord Shen!"

Seeing that he had missed the opportunity and the situation was hopeless, Du Liang turned around and tried to escape.

But the other side is more numerous and powerful, so there is no way to survive.

As a result, a total of fourteen people, including Zhang Zhisheng, were captured alive and tied up together.

"Third brother-in-law, you are injured!"

Duan Jing'an stepped forward and carefully checked Shen Xianli's injuries. His body was covered with whip wounds, and there was not a single piece of healthy flesh.

Shen Xianli's face turned pale and he smiled with relief.

"Nothing, just be alive."

The two looked at each other and smiled

When they were cleaning up the mess and preparing to leave, a group of men in black rushed up.

"Your Excellency is right. This is more trouble than help. Brothers, attack! Kill everyone without mercy."
