Chapter 742 - Jin Country Envoy (3)

There were corpses all over the courtyard. Some of them had been buried in snow, and some of them showed half of their legs. Strangely, on the folded corridor, there were bloodstains everywhere, but there were no bodies, not a single one.

There were obvious traces of blood dragged on the ground, as if it had been specially cleaned up here, and then the dead were thrown into the open space in the courtyard before the blood of the corpse had solidified. Obviously, there must be important people who had to go this way, and so they just cleaned up in such a hurry.

Across the long corridor, there was not a single living figure on the way. The door inside was wide open, and so the two of them walked straight in. Zhou Gang’s hand gripped the handle of the sword. He also couldn’t help but lighten his steps and listen to the sound in all directions.

There were also dead people in the rooms. But just like the outside, the dead were clustered on both sides. There was no obstruction in the middle path that leads to the stairs.

It felt like it was guiding them to go that way.

Looking at the clothes of these dead people, they should the staff in this post house and the guards of Jin Country. They were dressed differently.

The two stood still in the hall. And before they could take a step into the stairs, they suddenly heard a sound of pedaling downstairs. Fortunately, they were two men and it was daytime. If they were replaced by two women standing with corpses, and then suddenly they a noise, they would have scared to death.

A plain white figure turned out from the corner of the stairs and looked at the two of them. It was a girl. After seeing them, she turned around and ran upstairs.

Zhou Gang was about to chase, but Hu Feng stopped him. Hu Feng shook his head without saying a word and pulled Zhou Gang back.

“Your Highness, why don’t we go upstairs?” Zhou Gang asked in a low voice.

Hu Feng said: “The girl clearly came to lead us. There must be a trap on that staircase. Let’s change our way and see what she is trying to do.”

Zhou Gang suddenly realized that this might be the case after careful consideration. They kicked the door so loud but that girl didn’t come out early. Instead, she came out only when they to this place. She was obviously leading them to go that way.

Hu Feng led Zhou Gang over to the courtyard with dead people and said, “The upper window is broken, let’s go up from here.”

As soon as he said those words, Hu Feng jumped up, swung up, and broke into the window.

Zhou Gang followed closely, and after entering through the window, he rolled on the spot. Unexpectedly, he fell into the arms of a corpse. He felt gloomy and stood up immediately.

The woman in white clothes was standing at the other end of the stairs and waiting while looking downstairs. Suddenly, she heard a noise, and so she quickly turned around to look. Then, she saw the two men she just met downstairs, they were already standing at the end of the corridor.

“Miss, why do you lead us up here?” Hu Feng asked.

The woman’s face turned pale. She kept retreating until she reached the corner.

Zhou Gang wanted to step forward to hold her but was stopped by Hu Feng: “Don’t go there. This woman is very sly, there must be something over there. She is leading us to go that way again.”

Hu Feng was a martial artist, his senses were much more sensitive than ordinary people. Right beside him, inside the closed door, there was shallow breathing.

He pulled Zhou Gang and winked at him. Zhou Gang understood his meaning, he turned around and kicked the door, and then they dodge aside. No mechanism or people was coming out of the door. The breathing was still shallow. It seemed that the person was not shocked by this sudden movement, and even affected by it.
