I am a living immortal.
Chapter 216 Intelligence
The word "hello" frightened the people in the carriage, making them stagger. With a shake of their hands, the curtain fell down again.
Li Peng's face, which was about to intimidate him, froze. He then tore off the entire side of the carriage and cursed, "You think you're the bride? Get off!"
The people in the carriage were trembling a little.
At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, illuminating the surroundings.
He finally saw it clearly, but it would have been better if he hadn't seen it. The heavy rain was still falling, and the soldiers who were supposed to be burned and killed couldn't even scream at this moment. They were already dead, and could no longer die.
He looked up at Li Peng again. The lightning made Li Peng's face pale. He had seen this face not long ago. The portrait on the paper seemed to jump out of the paper.
"You...you...you are Li Peng..."
The visitor's trembling arm spoke out Li Peng's name.
"Oh, are you looking for me? Who sent you?" Li Peng was a little surprised to hear his own name suddenly, but he soon figured out the whole story.
After the initial shock, the manager gradually regained his composure. His trembling stopped and he took a few deep breaths: "You won't..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Mu flicked the raindrops with her fingers and they hit the man's stomach with a "bang", sending him flying several meters away. He spat out a mouthful of blood along with the poison hidden under his tongue.
When the man saw that his suicide plan had been seen through, he closed his eyes and looked determined to die rather than surrender. To some extent, he was also one of these many assassins.
But Li Peng has seen many cases like this.
"There's a phrase called 'life is worse than death'. Can you guess why this phrase came into being?"
"Brother Su, will he hand it over to me?"
Su Mu nodded and walked into the abandoned house, but how could no one fail to notice such a loud noise?
After a burst of screams, both vendors and civilians were frightened when they saw this horrific scene. They no longer cared about the heavy rain, packed up their bags and fled in all directions. In a blink of an eye, there were only a few people left in the abandoned house.
Su Mu didn't care and sat back in his original place. The fire had burned out and was flickering with a faint red light. He added a few branches and rekindled the flames.
Qi Jin next to him did not leave, or rather, he could not leave. His sister still had a fever and could not get wet in the rain, and running away alone was not a manly act.
But he wanted to ask but didn't know how to ask.
Just as he was struggling with this, Li Peng walked in and said, "It really has something to do with me, and it also has something to do with you two."
"Us? That monster?" Li Jin reacted immediately.
"Yes, we may be in trouble... I'm sorry, Brother Su, for dragging you into this." Li Peng still felt a little guilty. He hadn't thought much about it before and urged Su Mu to attack, wanting to see the other party's strength.
Su Mu laughed and said jokingly, "Why don't you just take on the responsibility? It's dark, windy, and raining heavily, so it's hard to tell whether it's real or fake."
"This...is also possible." Li Peng thought about it and it turned out to be a solution. After all, for him, it didn't matter if there were too many lice on his body, but this time it really had something to do with him.
I didn't expect that he would come here. The Eclipse Society can even establish connections with the local gentry families. It's no wonder that there is someone behind this.
But there are some things he can't say.
He is outgoing, but he is not stupid.
Su Mu smiled and said nothing.
Li Peng finally understood that what Su Mu had just said was a joke. "I'm really sorry. I'll share the information I got from that person with you. You can make another decision."
"First of all, that man is from the Feng family. The reason they mobilized so many people this time was to silence him. Because of the plague corpse, that is, the monster you encountered. The Feng family spent a huge amount of money to transport this monster from Qingshangang to treat their son, but an accident occurred on the way, causing the plague corpse to escape."
"As for why they sent people to kill those who knew about it, it was because of the plague in Qingshangang. The imperial court had already surrounded the area. Any negligence would cause the plague to spread. The Feng family couldn't afford the cost, but they still did it."
"The reason was stated before: to save his only son."
"As for why plague corpses were used, that involves another organization, the Eclipse Society."
"This is a cult organization. I wonder if you have heard of it. Based on the intelligence I know, I suspect they are the culprit behind the Qingshangang plague."
Li Peng told all the information he had received in one breath.
"So, this time it's not just the Feng family, there's also the Eclipse Society behind this."
When Su Mu heard the name of the Eclipse Society, he was stunned. It was not because he had heard of the name of this cult organization, but the name of the Eclipse Society stirred his spiritual perception.
This means that the Eclipse Society has some connection with the antique that he is looking for.
It was an unexpected gain.
On the other side, Qi Jin had a complicated expression on his face. He never thought that he just took his sister out to relax, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
If they hadn't been lucky, they would have died on the road. The Qi family couldn't swallow this humiliation, so he said, "Thank you both for saving my life. I, Qi Jin, will never forget it. But my sister is ill and I'm afraid I can't go with you."
Qi Jin took off a jade token from his waist and said, "This is my Qi family's jade token. As long as my Qi family can do something, we will definitely help, no matter the cost. In addition, this jade token can be used to withdraw money at any store in the Qi family. I hope you two will accept it."
As he said this, he knelt down and presented the token with both hands.
"This..." Li Peng looked at Su Mu hesitantly for a moment.
Su Mu shrugged and said, "You saved him, why are you looking at me?"
In the end, Li Peng took the jade token. Although Qi Jin was young, he had all the arrogance that only people from big families have. It was like you saved my life and I don’t want to repay you. Do you look down on me, Qi Jin, or do you look down on my Qi family?
The rain outside stopped abruptly at daybreak.
They were also preparing to leave quickly. The Feng family was not a good look, but the Eclipse Society was definitely not to be underestimated.
The old coachman walked all night in the heavy rain and went to the nearest Qi family shop for help. Soon, two carriages and several guards arrived at the abandoned house.
In addition to the doctor, there was also a manager-like figure who came with them. When he saw the corpses all over the ground, he did not show any shock. He said that he would leave everything here to them.
The Qi family is not a pushover. The Chengwei Qi family started out by escorting goods, and later they took over shops and restaurants. Now they still have several escort agencies, which are legally armed. They are much more powerful than the secretly raised assassins, and this matter is not over yet.
