“Then, do you dare to kill me?” “Under the watchful eyes of the public, the posthouse guards are outside. If I can’t get out alive, think about what the rumors will spread about you. Will His Majesty let you off?””
When he said this, besides mockery, there was also a trace of pride in his tone.
It was as if he felt very comfortable watching Xu Bai suffer.
He was certain that Xu Bai wouldn’t dare to kill him.
Because he was still in the Yin Posthouse. If he couldn’t get out of here alive, the posthouse people outside would definitely start to make unnecessary guesses.
If word got out, not only would Xu Bai lose his position, but it would also attract even more trouble.
After all, according to the laws of the Great Chu State, killing an official of the imperial court would definitely be severely punished.
Thinking of this, Ou Yin Posthouse couldn’t help but praise her own intelligence.
“I dare.” Xu Bai said indifferently.
“What did you say?” Posthouse Chief Ou was stunned.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Bai raise his Ghost Head Blade and slash at him.
His limbs were broken and blood spurted out, quickly dirtying the floor.
Xu Bai used the medicine he got from Qing Xue to stop the bleeding on Ou Yi’s limbs. Then, he quickly raised his foot and stepped on Ou Yi’s mouth, making him unable to make a sound.
Posthouse Chief Ou’s face was filled with fear. He couldn’t understand why the other party was so decisive.
Why, why did he dare?
Aren’t you afraid of the laws of Great Chu?
Why?
“You… Are you really not afraid?”
At this moment, although his limbs were aching, he could not suppress the shock in his heart.
“I don’t have to worry about you framing me. As long as Yun Zihai believes me, it’s fine.”Xu Bai said with a smile.
What was this place? Yunlai Manor.
Who is in charge of Yunlai Mansion? Yun Zihai is in charge.
Who was in charge of the Yin Posthouse? It was Xu Bai.
Counting them one after another, it was equivalent to the two of them occupying the entire Yunlai Mansion.
Afraid?
There was nothing to be afraid of.
“Come on, tell me. I want everything you know.”Xu Bai took out the pill he got from Qing Xue and said with a smile,””Let me remind you, eating this thing is very painful.”
Posthouse Chief Ou stared at Xu Bai. When he saw the medicine bottle in Xu Bails hand, he suddenly smiled.
Xu Bai frowned, and a bad thought appeared in his mind.
Just as this thought formed in his mind, he saw a change in Posthouse Commander Ou.
From the top of his head, layers of blood mist spread out. Within the blood mist, he turned into a puddle of blood.
“Corpse-rotting poison?” Xu Bai took two steps back and waved his sleeves to disperse the blood mist in front of him.
This was also recorded in the True Solution of the Hundred Poisons. It was an extremely painful poison. After eating it, it would turn into blood in less than a moment.
“To actually be willing to eat such a painful poison and not reveal the secret behind it, it seems that the waters of Yunlai Manor run deep.”Xu Bai thought. Since things had come to this, there was nothing more to say. Xu Bai found a
broom, cleaned the house, and went out.
As soon as he left the door, his eyes sized up the surrounding posthouse attendants, wanting to see if there was anything wrong.
But regrettably, these posthumans all behaved normally, and none of them showed that there was something wrong.
Xu Bai thought for a moment and went back to his room. Then, he picked up the books on the table and began to read them one by one.
Even the Yin Posthouse was the minion of the mastermind. It seemed that this net was extremely deep. He had to figure out the function of the Yin Posthouse before making any plans.
The content of this book was very concise, and every point was just right.
Posthouse Chief Ou must have written it very seriously in order to let him read it patiently.
In less than the time for an incense stick to burn, he had finished reading all the contents. After that, Xu Bai found a cage in the cabinet in the room. There was a carrier pigeon in the cage.
This was the pigeon that contacted Yunlai Manor. It could lead directly to the government office, which was where Yun Zihai was.
After all, the Yin Posthouse belonged to the Yunlai Mansion. This was a necessary communication tool and was self-prepared.
Xu Bai thought for a moment and wrote down what had happened. Then, he tied the pigeon to its leg and set it free.
After doing all this, he did not stay idle. Instead, he directly stepped out of the door and followed the pigeon’s flight path towards Yunlai Mansion.
The pigeon flew very fast, but Xu Bail s speed was not slow at all. He used the Four Steps to the fullest.
After a while, the pigeon flew into the government office and Xu Bai returned.
When he climbed over the wall and entered, he happened to see Yun Zihai take the pigeon from his hand and remove the paper from the pigeon’s leg.
When Yun Zihai saw Xu Bai, he was clearly stunned for a moment before he said,””Brother Xu, weren’t you the one who released the messenger pigeon?”
Xu Bai nodded.” I just wanted to see if this carrier pigeon was flying to you or somewhere else.””
As he spoke, he recounted his encounter.
He had followed the messenger pigeon this time to see if it was going straight to Yunlai Mansion. If there were any abnormalities along the way or if it went somewhere else, then he would have new clues.
Unfortunately, the other party seemed to be very cautious and did not make any mistakes in these details. There was no problem with the pigeon.
Yun Zihai listened to Xu Bai’s story and frowned.””Brother Xu, it seems that the other party doesn’t only welcome me here, but also doesn’t welcome you.”
“Indeed. He even used poison. This is good. Otherwise, this life will be too boring.”Xu Bai said..
