Madam let me die

Chapter 55 Ghost Gun!
Early the next morning, Mr. Shen fell ill.

And very sick.

When Li Nanke came to visit, he lay listlessly on the bed, as if he had been drained of all energy, with a sickly haggard appearance, and even opening his mouth to drink medicine seemed extremely laborious.

Several aunts were crying around the hospital bed.

People who didn't know thought that the county magistrate was going to die soon.

Taking this opportunity, Li Nanke glanced at the other party's third wife.

It is indeed petite and exquisite, with a small mouth like a cherry, and the eyes move down... I wonder if it can really hold a half-pound peach?

"... Nanke."

Shen Chunhe signaled the housekeeper to take the wives out, waved Li Nanke to the hospital bed, and said in a weary voice. "The job of receiving the shadow guards is entrusted to you. You have to perform well and don't let down the trust that I have placed in you."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will receive you well."

It's all pretended to be this, and Li Nanke really can't refuse this commission.

Through the understanding of this adult, Li Nanke also roughly figured out the other party's intention of pretending to be sick this time.

When Shen Chunhe was young, like everyone else, he had lofty ideals. Although he developed his abilities through repeated encounters, he still failed to realize his ambitions due to various reasons.

Either the opportunity was snatched, or involved in the struggle and implicated, or inexplicably demoted...

All kinds of bad luck came to him.

In the end, exhausted physically and mentally, he simply looked away, and spent his days guarding a small county master.I don't seek to make progress, but I can't lose this iron job.

This time, facing the shadow guard who was the emperor's personal guard, someone else might see it as an opportunity, but Shen Chunhe, who had already decided to lie down, avoided it.

After all, shadow guards are too difficult to serve.

Opportunities represent risks, and he doesn't want to lose his black hat for a little risk.

But it's okay to pretend to be sick, but there must be someone to receive it.

Li Nanke is the best candidate.

Although on the surface he is the master of the yamen, he is actually a member of the night patrol department. Even if he offends the shadow guards, it will be a battle between the two departments.

Besides, for a young man like Li Nanke, it is indeed an opportunity.

If he really has the ability to climb high branches, this favor is still his.

Near noon, a group of people approached quietly.

There were about thirty people in this team, except for the two leaders, the rest were all dressed in black soft cloth armor, with fish scale iron pieces on the cloth armor, and the temples on both sides were bulging high, exuding a chilling aura.

Even the mount under him is far taller, stronger and fatter than ordinary horses.

Judging from the imperious aura exuded by these shadow guards, they are all first-class masters.

The dogs passing by hid far away for fear of being slapped.

But what attracted the most attention was a carriage escorted by them.

The carriage was much bigger than ordinary carriages and horses, and it was actually pulled by four horses. The carriage was very wide and extremely long, and the central hub of the wheels was inlaid with copper runes.

Entering the mansion that Shen Chunhe had already arranged, the two leaders dismounted.

They are a man and a woman respectively.

The man's arms were wrapped in leather wrists, his figure was tall and broad, with a thick mustache under his chin, and a black cloak fluttering behind him.

The woman next to her was dressed in black green, her waist and abdomen were wrapped in a layer of soft leather armor, her hair was tied up, her slightly pointed chin matched her cold eyes, and she was as sharp as a white blade.

Her left face was covered with half a silver-white mask, and there was a stretched scar at the corner of her lips.

It's different from Leng Xinnan.

Although they all act very cold, Leng Xinnan is just a habitual disguise, and she is relatively approachable to others.

But this woman completely gives people a feeling of ice skates out of their sheaths.

It was as if the whole body, inside and out, had been frozen into ice.

"Li Nanke, the magistrate of Dongqi County, has seen two adults from Qianhu."

Li Nanke stepped forward to salute.

Through the limited information given by Shen Chunhe, it was known that the two thousand households who came this time were called Dong Wankun and Nie Ying.

Both of them are from Beizhen Fusi.

Dong Wankun was promoted from a hundred households to a thousand households last year, and Nie Ying was originally a member of the Commanding Division of Longjiang, the governor of the Left Army, and was later transferred to the Fusi of Beizhen to work for the Supreme Emperor.

The woman ignored him and walked past him into the hall.

The moment they rubbed shoulders, a thick bloody breath rushed into Li Nanke's nose, sending chills down the man's spine.

Li Nanke realized that... this woman has come to be a big aunt.

"Where's Shen Chunhe?"

Dong Wankun glanced around and frowned.

Li Nanke cupped his hands and said, "Master Shen is sick and can hardly get up from bed, so I specially asked the humble staff to come and receive the two of you."

"Humph."

A sneer sneered at the corner of Dong Wankun's lips, and he stepped into the hall.

Serving the tea, Li Nanke respectfully said: "Master Shen has already been arranged by the humble official. This house is for the two adults to rest. If you have anything to do, please tell me. In addition——"

"Has there been any suspicious persons in Dongqi County recently?"

Dong Wankun interrupted him and asked.

Li Nanke thought for a while and said: "A monster escaped from Yuncheng appeared in Dongqi County, and the people from the Night Patrol Division are hunting it down." Li Nanke didn't mention the Tianqiong Sect.

"Monster?"

Dong Wankun frowned and looked at the woman.

Nie Ying didn't make a sound, took out two Emei thorns from her sleeves, and gently wiped the wet blood on them.

"Okay, let's go out first."

Dong Wankun waved his hand to signal Li Nanke to step back.

"Yes."

Li Nanke had no expression on his face, and after bowing his hands in salute, he exited the hall.

Watching Li Nanke leave, Dong Wankun sneered and said: "This Shen Chunhe is too timid, like a mouse seeing a cat. But this master is handsome. Ask my friend later, if he likes it, give him a taste Try it out."

Seeing that the woman was still indifferent, Dong Wankun said indifferently:
"The task of escorting Princess Shanyun has changed from a secret operation to an open one. Too many eyes are staring at us. I don't know why the higher-ups want us to stay here. One more day of delay means more risk. .

Now this little Dongqi County has come to make a fuss with monsters, I don't know if it is targeting us, so we have to be careful.

And I heard that the people of Tianqiong Sect have been active recently, and that Mr. He Pan has already made us suffer once, so we are afraid that this woman will persevere and pester us.

There is one more person to be aware of..."

Dong Wankun paused for a moment, and fear appeared in the depths of his eyes. "That's the ghost gun! I heard that a few days ago, someone saw her appearing near the God Turtle Island, maybe she was following us secretly, so we must guard against it.

Back then in the North General's Mansion, this person was quite well-known, he was the personal bodyguard of Princess Shanyun, and later he defeated the Demon Saber Xiao Ke with three shots, and became famous all over the world.

Among female cultivators, her strength is second only to Sword Immortal Ye Yaoyao.It will be even more troublesome if she comes to snatch the owner of Shanyun County. "

The woman's face was cold and expressionless, she carefully wiped the weapon clean with tea, put her slender fingers into the ring in the middle, and swished the Emei thorn.

"Hope everything goes well."

Dong Wankun sighed softly, and glanced at the woman with a trace of disdain.

……

After Li Nanke left the hall, he prepared to report the situation to Shen Chunhe.

Walking to the spacious square outside the courtyard, I saw that the shadow guards were being rectified, and the wide and long carriage was also led to a corner that was easier to protect.

What is it pulling?
Li Nanke was puzzled.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew away a corner of the hard black cloth covering the carriage - a pair of ice coffins came into Li Nanke's eyes!

Under the scorching sun, an inexplicable chill rose from the ground.
