Chapter 303
A cup of tea passed quietly in silence, and the secret guards finally came back. They all looked a little embarrassed and uneasy.
"My lord, princess, there is not a single civilian in this town." The secret guard reported.
When Shangguan Ziling heard this, she widened her eyes, as if she couldn't believe her ears, "How could this be? Where have all the people in this town gone?" There was a hint of anxiety and worry in her voice.
The secret guards shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know either.
Mo Shaoxie frowned, his eyes revealing a deep thought and worry, "Let's check it out." His voice was low and firm.
"Yes." The secret guards answered in unison, then turned and left to continue their investigation.
Shangguan Ziling looked at their departing backs and said, "Wait."
The secret guards stopped and turned to look at Shangguan Ziling.
Shangguan Ziling took out Qingxin Pills and some spiritual spring water from the space, placed them on the table, and said: "Carry these with you, they can detoxify common poisons. Even if you encounter a strong poison, it can ensure that you will not be poisoned immediately. If this happens, you must come back immediately and I will detoxify you." Her voice was full of concern and worry, and she was obviously worried that the secret guards would be in danger.
The secret guards picked up the medicine bottle on the table, put it in their arms, bowed respectfully, said "Thank you, Princess" and then turned and left.
Their figures gradually disappeared in the night, leaving Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie sitting facing each other.
"Ling'er suspects that the disappearance of the people in the town is related to the Poison King?" Mo Shaoxie asked.
Shangguan Ziling nodded and said, "It's better to be careful. I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy. I think the disappearance of the people in this town is related to the Poison King."
Mo Shaoxie couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he heard her words. He knew that Ling'er's worries and uneasiness were definitely not groundless speculations, and they had to be more careful to avoid falling into the trap of the Poison King.
An hour later, darkness had enveloped the entire town. The secret guards ran back panting, with a look of uneasiness and anxiety on their faces.
"What's going on?" Mo Shaoxie asked in a cold voice, his voice revealing an unquestionable majesty. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through all the fog.
The secret guards looked at each other, and no one dared to answer for a while. Finally, one of the secret guards mustered up the courage, stepped forward, and said, "Master, the people in the town are here, their eyes are bloodshot, and they attack us when they see us." There was a tremor in his voice, and he was obviously shocked by the scene just now.
Shangguan Ziling's heart sank when she heard this. She walked to the window and looked out at the dark street.
In the distance, the streets were crowded with people, and the dense crowds were pouring in like a tide. Their eyes were bloodshot and their faces were hideous, as if they were controlled by some evil force.
"Oh my god!" Shangguan Ziling exclaimed, her face turned pale in an instant. She turned back to look at Mo Shaoxie, her eyes full of worry.
Mo Shaoxie held her hand tightly and called out in a low voice, "Ling'er." He followed Shangguan Ziling's line of sight and was also stunned.
Shangguan Ziling calmed down her inner panic, "Quick, let's leave quickly. They are under control and will attack us. The people are innocent."
Mo Shaoxie hugged her, leaped up, and jumped out of the window. Their figures passed through the night sky, light and agile.
The secret guards followed closely behind, jumping out of the window and following them.
The people on the street bared their teeth and roared at them. Although their movements were clumsy, they were extremely ferocious.
Shangguan Ziling looked down and frowned, feeling nauseous.
Mo Shaoxie hugged her and quickly jumped onto the roof. They avoided those crazy people and didn't hurt them. They knew in their hearts that these people were innocent and they were just being used.
They rushed all the way and finally escaped from the town. They stopped only when they came to a dense forest. Mo Shaoxie looked back at the town behind him, his eyes were terribly cold.
The secret guards gathered around, all with a look of uneasiness and uneasiness on their faces. This incident made them realize more deeply the horror and cruelty of the Poison King.
Shangguan Ziling took out some food and water from the space and gave it to everyone, "Eat something, we need to maintain our strength."
The secret guards took the food and water and said in unison: "Thank you, Princess." Although they wondered where the princess got so much food and water from, they did not ask any more questions.
Mo Shaoxie sat aside, his eyes deep. He remembered that at that time, the Nan family also used the people as pawns to manipulate the imperial army to fight, which resulted in the death of countless innocent lives. A strong anger surged in his heart, and he tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Ling'er, is there any way to rescue those people?" Mo Shaoxie asked in a deep voice.
Shangguan Ziling shook her head slightly. "We need to capture a few civilians and check if there is any cause or poison in their bodies, and then we can think of a solution."
Mo Shaoxie nodded, and he stood up, ready to go and capture the people. He knew that this was the only way to find a way to save them.
"I will go and capture a few civilians and bring them back for Ling'er to examine." Mo Shaoxie's voice was low and powerful.
"I'll go with you." Shangguan Ziling stood up, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.
Mo Shaoxie glanced at her, then he gently held her hand and said softly, "Ling'er will wait for me here. I will go and come back quickly."
Shangguan Ziling nodded, her eyes full of worry, and said, "Then be careful."
Mo Shaoxie said "hmm" softly, then turned to look at the secret guards and said, "Protect the princess well."
The secret guards responded in unison, "Yes!"
Mo Shaoxie's figure quickly blended into the night. His figure shuttled through the darkness and disappeared into the distance like a flash of lightning.
In the space, the little fat man sat on a stone, holding a straw stick in his hand, drawing circles on the ground. His brows were furrowed, and he was obviously thinking about the evil poison king and those innocent people.
"Master, this Poison King is so evil that he actually uses innocent people to deal with you." There was a hint of anger and dissatisfaction in the little fat man's voice.
Shangguan Ziling leaned against a big tree, her eyes revealing a deep worry and uneasiness.
