Chapter 464 An extremely terrifying opponent (4200)

After they entered the Camel Grave, someone definitely came to the palace!

Moreover, from the very fresh grape skins and cantaloupe skins on the edge of the fruit bowl, as well as the incisions on the cantaloupe that have not been oxidized and discolored, it can be inferred that the visitors should not have been eating these fruits for a long time, probably before they entered the palace.

effort.

certainly.

It cannot be completely ruled out that these fruits have also been affected by this strange world and have become things that will not oxidize and rot. After all, it has been a week since Wu Liang and others left the city, and these fruits

The fruits in the banquet hall are still as fresh as the last time I saw them...

When Wu Liangzhong was analyzing.

"Brother Youcai, what do you think that is?"

Zhuge Liang was the first to find a small foreign object on the ground near the exit of the banquet hall, stretched out his hand and pointed at it and asked.

"Let me see?"

Wu Liang looked in the direction pointed by Zhuge Liang.

It was a small lump of stuff that looked like chicken shit. It looked slimy and greasy. The color was more white, but mixed with a little bit of red...

At first glance, Wu Liang really couldn't tell what this was.

So he walked forward several steps under Dian Wei's protection until he came to the small lump of things, squatted down and took a closer look.

"Leftover pomegranate seeds?"

Wu Liang was stunned.

He had eaten pomegranates in later generations, and he loved to eat pomegranates, so he was naturally familiar with pomegranate seeds. They were small particles like insect eggs, and there were some transparent seeds wrapped on them that were not completely eaten.

Isn’t the red pulp just pomegranate seeds?

And this person who eats pomegranates obviously has the same way of eating pomegranates as him.

That is to peel off the pomegranates one by one and save a handful, then stuff it into your mouth and chew it. At that time, a large amount of pomegranate juice will fill every corner of your mouth, and the sweet taste can fully stimulate all the organs.

The taste buds are not too pleasant at all, it is definitely more satisfying than eating them one by one.

And only this way of eating can spit out such a small lump of pomegranate seeds instead of just one piece at a time.

"It turns out it's just pomegranate seeds. I thought it was something... eh?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, but Zhuge Liang immediately thought of something and said quickly, "Brother Youcai, if we follow the pomegranate seeds spitting everywhere, can we know where the people who entered the palace have gone?"

"That's it. Brother Zhuge Xian is really getting smarter and smarter."

Wu Liang nodded and expressed appreciation.

The pomegranate seeds are located on the ground at the exit of the banquet hall, and this exit is the road leading to King Shanshan's palace and harem, so it is not difficult to guess where the mysterious visitor went afterwards.

"It's all thanks to the careful cultivation of my talented brother."

Zhuge Liang scratched the back of his head and laughed a little sheepishly.

"Everyone must be more careful from now on. We may encounter people entering the palace at any time. Jingjing, please listen carefully to the sound and don't let go of any clues."

Wu Liang then gave another special instruction before giving the order, "Let's go!"

…

So the mermaids passed through the exit of the banquet hall and continued to search for the small piles of pomegranate seeds that appeared every few meters.

finally.

The pomegranate seeds took them to the door of King Shanshan's chamber.

Wu Liang and others had entered this dormitory before, and soldiers from the Hu army often entered it in order to "protect" King Shanshan. Although the area inside was not large, only about forty or fifty square meters, the decoration was extremely luxurious.

There are countless ivory products, silk products, ceramic products, gold and silverware, and every closet is filled with them. It is simply a small treasure room.

There is also a layer of linen blanket with rich patterns laid on the floor of the dormitory. It is soft when you step on it, and you can't hear any footsteps.

Oh, right.

besides.

When everyone first entered King Shanshan's chamber, what they were most interested in was King Shanshan's "Hu Bed".

In this era, it was still rare to see "Hu Beds" in the Central Plains. The princes and nobles slept on couches, while the common people slept on Kangs. A rather spacious "Hu Bed" like this was naturally considered a rarity to everyone, but it was not.

It's not a big surprise. After all, they had slept on a "cot" in the small courtyard arranged for them by Apuqiu along the way, especially after entering Jani City. In fact, sleeping on a couch or a kang would be fine.

There isn't too much of an obvious difference.

What they were curious about were the inch-wide ribbons and leather belts hanging from the roof above King Shanshan's "Hu Bed". The leather belts were also equipped with exquisite small buckles made of metal, which seemed to be just enough to be used as shackles when fastened.

Used with handcuffs…

This made them very puzzled. King Shanshan was also the king of a country, so why did the "hu bed" used for sleeping in his palace look so like a torture scene?

Fortunately, everyone in the army was polite and polite and did not ask King Shanshan in person.

It was only after he came out that he asked Wu Liang for advice in private, because Wu Liang obviously exchanged looks with King Shanshan at that time, and the look was like "I understand you", which made King Shanshan a little embarrassed.

"It should be some kind of special custom, don't worry about it."

Wu Liang replied seriously.

Then she turned around and whispered to Bai Jingjing. Bai Jingjing didn't know why, but she immediately blushed while listening to Wu Liang's words. There was an obvious look of reluctance on her pretty face, but in the end, after pinching Wu Liang, she shyly

Nodding, no one knew what the two of them were talking about at that time.

I've gone a bit far, so let's get back to the point.

When everyone arrived at the door of the dormitory, the carved wooden door of the dormitory was ajar, revealing a gap as wide as a finger.

Dian Wei and Wu Liang exchanged glances, and then under Wu Liang's instruction, he slowly moved closer to the crack in the door and looked inside...

at this time.

"You are finally here."

Suddenly, a dull male voice came from the dormitory, saying in a calm tone, "Come in now that you are here, I have been waiting here for a long time."

"?!"

Although they were mentally prepared, the sudden sound still startled everyone.

After looking at each other for a while, Wu Liang nodded slightly to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei raised his hand to push open the carved wooden door in front of him, and then walked in with caution.

Wu Liang took advantage of the situation and looked inside.

I saw a middle-aged man with an obviously European face, leaning quite relaxedly on the recliner in the dormitory. He was holding half a pomegranate in one hand and some peeled pomegranate fruits in the palm of the other hand.

, the mouth is moving slightly, and beside the recliner, there are already a few small pieces of chewed pomegranate seeds.

"Stay outside the door and don't let down your guard."

After seeing clearly the situation inside, Wu Liang first gave these instructions to the rest of the people, and then followed Dian Wei into the hall carrying a diamond umbrella.

Without knowing the other party's details and purpose, he really had to be on guard.

In case this person has set some trap in the palace in advance, everyone who comes in together will most likely be killed in one pot.

"Bah, bah... bah!"

Seeing Wu Liang walking in, the middle-aged man finally straightened up and spit out the pomegranate seeds in his mouth several times. Then he looked at Wu Liang with a smile and said proactively, "You don't know me, but I

But I have already met you, and when you used the power of thunder and fire to kill everyone in Jianni City, I already expected that girl's good luck to come to an end."

"That girl?"

Wu Liang guessed that the person the middle-aged man was referring to should be Fang Qiong.

At the same time, it also derived some other speculations from the middle-aged man's words: This middle-aged man should be a resident of Jianni City, and has seen the power of black gunpowder with his own eyes, but his specific identity is unknown.

"Fang Qiong, if my guess is correct, Fang Qiong should have been successfully and completely eliminated by Your Excellency... I know that girl somewhat well. She has a cunning mind and an extremely strong temper. She will definitely not compromise with Your Excellency.

But now that you have returned here safe and sound, there is only one possible result, and I am afraid that she has been completely eliminated by you."

The middle-aged man still said calmly, "There's just one thing that puzzles me. Since you can get rid of Fang Qiong, you should already know that the wooden coffin has extremely miraculous effects. Therefore, I don't understand."

The question is, why did you not choose to take advantage of this rare opportunity yourself, but instead put my body back into the wooden coffin?"

"What did you say? Your body?"

Wu Liang couldn't help but be stunned.

Everyone in the Hu army also had a look of surprise on their faces.

They looked at the middle-aged man's face carefully and compared it with the appearance of the male corpse in their memory. It may be because the male corpse had been severely weathered outside the wooden coffin, and they had not seen it before.

I honestly didn't think it looked familiar at all. The most important thing was that the male corpse had a bald head, but this middle-aged man had dark brown hair.

But now that they looked at each other carefully, they felt that their facial features were somewhat similar.

so……

Is the middle-aged man in front of me the "resurrection" of the male corpse?
