Chapter 34: Returning to the Prefectural Yamen, Bao Gong Takes Action (1)

  Zhan Zhao let out a wry smile, walked forward and picked up the silver pendant, re-hanging it around his neck. Suddenly, he felt as if there was something different about the pendant, but at the same time, he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was, which made him feel very strange!

  Upon hearing Bai Yutang's words, Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Brother Bai, I also don't know what this silver ornament is. It seems that Fourth Brother and the others were telling the truth - this silver ornament is probably a divine object!"

  Bai Yutang nodded, tossing the Juque Sword to Zhan Zhao and drawing his own Huaying Sword. Suddenly he bellowed, "If this silver ornament is so useful, why didn't you take it out earlier?"

  Zhan Zhao took the giant ring and heard Bai Yutang's words, slightly stunned, and said helplessly, "If it wasn't for being forced, Zhan wouldn't have thought of this silver ornament either. This silver ornament hasn't been useful for a long time, who knew..."

  Zhan Zhao had not finished speaking when another white light burst forth from his chest, enveloping him. Zhan Zhao only felt a strange power roaming within his body, and his internal energy seemed to be completely subdued by this power, unable to move at all!

  "Kitty, what's wrong?!" Bai Yutang hastily appeared in front of Zhan Zhao and asked anxiously.

  The white light appeared for a very short time, only about thirty or forty seconds. As this strange power surged in, Zhan Zhao only felt a warm and gentle current flowing slowly through his meridians, and he actually produced a very comfortable feeling!

  When the white light exited from Zhan Zhao's body and disappeared, Zhan Zhao spat out a mouthful of blood towards the sky. In an instant, he felt refreshed and revitalized, as if his entire being had become more spirited and radiant!

  "Kitty, what's wrong with you?" Bai Yutang saw Xian Zhao spitting blood and hastily reached out to grasp his wrist. His face suddenly twitched, "It seems your body is still okay, just a bit of internal injury... but no, your internal injury was much worse than this earlier!"

  Zhan Zhao slightly stunned, smiled, it seems that the white light just now was helping himself heal his injuries!

  Bai Yutang withdrew the Rat's Claw, saying, "Forget it, you have so many secrets, I won't ask for now. You don't seem to be seriously injured, that internal injury will heal in less than an hour. But I'm in a bad shape, my inner energy is almost depleted!"

  "Ah......" Zhan Zhao hastily said, "Brother Bai, you'd better hurry up and take a break!"

  Bai Yutang glared at Zhan Zhao with a bad temper, "What nonsense! We've already wasted a lot of time. The most important thing now is to hurry up and take those people back to the prefecture, let them go see Lord Bao!"

  Zhan Zhao smiled lightly and cupped his hands towards Bai Yutang, who waved his hand in response. The two of them walked directly to the people they had rescued, and upon seeing them, their faces twitched uncontrollably!

  No wonder nobody was making a sound during the fight earlier, it turns out everyone had passed out. Great, this is just great, we're fighting for our lives outside and you guys are sleeping in here!

  Zhan Zhao's heart was filled with gloom and his eyes were fixed on Bai Yutang's expression, which seemed to indicate that his mood wasn't much better either!

  "Pinch those who are asleep and wake them up!" Zhan Zhao said with a loud voice!

  Bai Yutang nodded and then fiercely pinched the people's acupoints!

  Finally, those people woke up, but it seemed that each person's face had already turned purple, and some were even swollen!

  "Two seniors, just now..." A person suddenly spoke up after everyone woke up. Bai Yutang directly cut him off impatiently, "Don't ask about anything else, we've already wasted a lot of time, hurry up and follow us to see Lord Bao!"

  Everyone quickly agreed and Xianzhi and Bai Yutang hastily led these people towards the Chenzhou Prefecture Government Office.

  After walking for a while, Bai Yutang stumbled and Zhan Zhao hurriedly supported him, saying, "Brother Bai, let's take a break and catch our breath first!"

  Bai Yutang waved his hand, "Cat, now hurry back to see Bao Daren is the most important thing. The card just now, obviously did not die, must have escaped. And he said that Anle Hou Pong Yu is one of his executors, so Anle Hou must know about Ruan Hongtang's life. Hurry back with people, it's good for Bao Daren and the people of Chenzhou! Moreover..."

  "That Na Ka is not dead yet, we have to hurry back and discuss with Mr. Gong Sun and others what to do if we encounter him again. If he comes openly, it's easy to deal with him using your silver accessories. But if he comes to assassinate Lord Bao for the sake of An Le Hou, then what should we do?" White Jade Hall smiled slightly, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes!

  Zhan Zhao paused slightly, the bright moon shone brightly, clear and vast for thousands of miles. The night fog rode the wind, rustling and lifting his white robes as Bai Yutang danced with the wind, his movements like flowing water. His calm and serene eyes sparkled like stars, filled with a strong sense of justice. It was evident that Bai Yutang's words came from the heart, he was indeed worried about what would happen next!

  Modern people are all armed to the teeth, locking their true hearts in layers of shackles, afraid that others will see through them. Bai Yutang's words, though brief, came from the heart and made Zhang Zhaowen feel a warm current flowing into his heart... This world is really lovely... So, we must help Bao Daren make this world a bright and sunny place!

  "Let's go, Brother Bai!" Zhan Zhao smiled and helped up Bai Yutang, and the crowd continued to rush towards the Chenzhou Prefecture Government Office!

  As time passed, the crowd walked into the Chen Prefecture Government Office. Xian Zhao and Bai Yu Tang directly led the crowd to the Flower Hall. Xian Zhao called for Ma Han and told him to go inform Lord Bao!

  In the flower hall, "The humble commoner (female) has seen Lord Bao!" Everyone saw Lord Bao and their eyes were filled with tears, they knelt down with a thud, and several of them couldn't stop sobbing. "This is not a public court, get up." Lord Bao saw the miserable appearance of everyone and couldn't help but sigh slightly, saying in a gentle voice.

  "Thank you, sir." The crowd then stood up one after another. Bao Da Ren looked around and asked: "The prefect asks you, why are you in the Soft Red Hall? Was it that An Le Hou Pang Yu who brought you here?"

  As soon as this was said, the several women who had just stopped crying again began to wipe away tears and could hardly answer. Even those men fell silent for a while before one of the women slowly stepped forward and replied in a stuttering tone, "Sir, it's true that we were forcibly taken away by Duke Anle. We thought we would become his playthings, but who knew that after he took us away, at first...we indeed served Duke Anle..."

  "But later on, I don't know what happened, but the Duke of Anle became indifferent to us and only sent people every day to cut our wrists and take our blood, without any interruption... But how could we women endure this? Many sisters have already died from the frequent cutting of their wrists..."

  "What!?" The men beside those women also had an expression of disbelief on their faces, apparently they were completely unaware of this matter as well.

  Bao Daren was almost furious, his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes blazing with anger; Gong Sun's face changed slightly, his brow furrowed in silence; Bai Yutang clenched his fists tightly, the joints cracking with a loud crackle.

  Zhan Zhao shook his head secretly, feeling both sorrow and anger in his heart. The sorrow was that such a young woman had suffered such cruel treatment, having experienced the bitterness of life; the anger was that An Le Hou relied on his imperial connections to do as he pleased, his actions truly infuriating heaven and man alike.

  Zhan Zhaoyu's eyebrows furrowed, no wonder these women were all pale and haggard, seven parts ghostly and three parts human. It turned out that it was caused by Anle Hou cutting his wrist to take blood. However, speaking of which, why did Anle Hou cut his wrist to take blood?

  Could it be related to that demon world?

  "Then why did Duke Anle cut his wrist and take out blood?" Bao Daren also hesitantly asked.

  A group of women heard this question and none of them answered, most of them slightly shook their heads indicating they didn't know.

  "It seems that there are many doubts about this matter, and as for Anle Hou... " Bao Daren furrowed his brow after a moment of contemplation, saying, "This Chen state is full of mysteries!"

  "What about you?" Bao Daren looked at those men and asked, "Why are you in the Soft Red Hall..."

  Before he had finished speaking, Bao Gong's body shook, his eyes went dull, and he fell backwards from the stool!

  "Lord Bao!!?" Zhang Zhao and others hastily stretched out their hands to support Lord Bao, while calling out in unison!

  Little brother begs for collection and recommendation, okay...... Begging you......
