third chapter
"Third Master!"
Wu Xuanzhi skillfully turned a few alleys and flashed into a courtyard from a small door.
Someone had been waiting in the courtyard. When he saw him coming, he hurried up to help him.
"Are the things ready?" Wu Xuanzhi's face could hardly see any blood. This time, the backlash he suffered was extremely serious, and he could not even suppress his spine.
"It's ready, Master Third, come with me." The servant was very capable, and did not talk nonsense, and led the way directly.
After approaching a side room, I moved the bookshelf inside the room and exposed a dark and clean secret room. This secret room is not small, with a length and width of no less than three meters. There are a large amount of rice, flour, sugar and fresh flesh. Before I get close, I can smell a fishy smell of meat.
"If someone comes to search, you can deal with it carefully." Wu Xuanzhi nodded and walked into the secret room.
Then the bookshelf slowly closed, and no one could see any strangeness around him. No one knew that there was a different world here.
"ah!"
As soon as he entered the secret room, Wu Xuanzhi could no longer hold on and knelt on the ground. He roared, his handsome face was pale and twisted, looking like a devil who chose people. His back suddenly arched, and his bones were twisted in an unnatural posture.
Then, with a "tearing" sound, a bloody spine tore through his back and stretched out.
Blood slowly dripped down, and the spine became smoother and smoother. It was as good as jade at the beginning, but in the later stage it was like gold and iron, looking full of sharpness.
As the entire spine was pulled away, Wu Xuanzhi did not die. Even his condition looked much better, and his face became a little rosy. He breathed a long sigh and leaned against the side.
But in his sight, the spine couldn't help but make a "crack" sound.
It actually slowly extended, with the original column becoming wider and flat. The most exaggerated thing is that an exaggerated hole was cracked at one end, and sharp teeth grew inside, as if they had turned into a strange creature.
The creature seemed extremely hungry and rushed directly to the flesh and blood, swallowing and biting it in big mouths.
"Click click."
The sound of teeth biting and flesh being torn into pieces was heard throughout the secret room, which sounded creepy.
Thousands of kilograms of beef, mutton and pork were stocked here, but this strange creature swallowed it very quickly. In less than five minutes, all the flesh and blood were consumed. After eating the flesh and blood, it continued to eat rice, flour and candy.
It lasted for about half an hour, and all the food in the entire secret room was swallowed.
Wu Xuanzhi slowly stood up and walked to the front of the strange creature.
The creature's appearance has changed a lot at this moment. On its wide and flat body, branches and branches extend out, just like beetles' limbs and feet, and they are still dancing intertwined, looking quite strange.
Seeing Wu Xuanzhi approaching, the creature suddenly rushed forward and lay behind him.
The limbs and feet turned into sharp blades, piercing the skin on his back, then drilled into it, tightly wrapped around his ribs, and the broad and flat body of the creature also contracted, turning into a complete spine, supporting Wu Xuanzhi's body again.
"call."
Wu Xuanzhi let out a long breath, and his originally dark eyes became brighter again. He looked at him with a look of a treacherous dress, and he could have a look like a young master in the turbid world.
"At least I can hold on. What a second-rank official in the Qing Dynasty, what a murderous Zhao Erfeng. Even at this time, I can only seriously injure him, but I can't kill him." The dangerous aura in Wu Xuanzhi's eyes flashed and became calmer again.
"However, my spine sword demon is already mature. Although I still can't fight against this late Qing Dynasty, which had a life span of less than three years, I finally have the power to protect myself. When the assassination of Zhao Erfeng spreads, my reputation can be further increased, enough to allow most of my evil three-eyed demon to be born."
Wu Xuanzhi thought to himself that he had a decisive plan.
Between his thoughts, his left and right eyeballs suddenly seemed to have come alive, and suddenly started to wriggle. Then another circle of hands and feet appeared on his eyeballs, and he wanted to crawl out of his eye sockets. If someone saw them, he might be scared to death.
After struggling for a while, his eyes were still unable to escape from the constraints of his body. After squirming for a while, he gradually calmed down and returned to his eyes.
...
Chengdu, church hospital.
Zhao Erfeng's eyes were closed, his face was as paper as paper, and he was lying on the bed with thick gauze wrapped around his chest. Although he was of good physical fitness, he was also an old man over 60 years old. After suffering such severe injuries, whether he could wake up depends on God's will.
The foreign doctor in the hospital had already done sutures on him and injected a drug that was very popular among foreigners in recent years, called "penicillin". As long as Governor Zhao can wake up, it should be fine.
After retreating, Zhao Erfeng's several aides all had serious faces. If their benefactor was assassinated, if something really happened, they would have to leave.
"You can see the movement that day." An old man with gray hair and wearing a jacket spoke first.
"The methods of the lamas in Tibet should be the so-called ghost magic." Others nodded. The sword light suddenly came and appeared strangely, and it was absolutely extraordinary.
"The benefactor is a chief official. It is logical that the court officials are blessed by their luck. How can those things that pretend to be gods and ghosts appear in front of the benefactor? I'm afraid there is something else here." The old man twisted his beard and sighed.
"No matter how strange it is, only by siege, no matter how powerful the army is, it will turn into a sieve. If these savages in the wilderness are really capable, they will not have been killed by us." Some young people among Zhao Erfeng's aides. When they heard the old man's disgusting words, they immediately retorted.
"Da Army? Then please ask Mr. Zhongmei to transfer the army and find the assassin." The old man raised his eyes and said.
The man was about to speak again, but suddenly his expression changed, as if he had thought of something.
They are just staff members and have no official status. Unless Zhao Erfeng himself took out the governor's order, there would be no possibility of mobilizing the army.
Generally speaking, if something happened to the Governor, the power of the Governor was usually temporarily taken by the Governor or the Governor, but since the 13th year of Qianlong, the Governor was dismissed from the position of Governor in Sichuan. As for the Governor, the Governor was usually in charge of the officers and soldiers of the Green Camp. During the Tongzhi Dynasty, the court felt that the Green Camp was useless, so it trained a new army and was directly mobilized by the Governors of various places. Then the position of Governors was in vain, and the position of Governors in many places was hanging.
Otherwise, it would be the garrison generals who were in charge of the Han traditional territory. However, most of the garrison generals who were like Manchus came to support their elderly care. If they asked them to lead their troops, it would be a disaster.
To count further down, it may be Zhong Ying, the co-supervisor of the Sichuan New Army. This person is rebellious and has repeatedly contradicted the governor. Now that the governor has a problem, he may be watching the excitement somewhere.
What's more, if the power of the imperial generals to lead troops and train troops is separated, it is impossible to put all the military power into one's hands, otherwise it is easy to gain a military power.
When Zhao Erfeng was awake, the southwest of the Qing Dynasty was as stable as a mountain. When he fell, he was completely disconnected from the people who had power for him.
