Chapter 452: The Evil Cough Curse

Chapter 452: Evil Cough Curse
On the way from Qingyu City to Fufeng County City.

A gray shadow ran quickly, raising a cloud of dust.

Jiang He controlled the gray warhorse and hurried on the road.

In the Cangwu province, Fufeng County nominally belongs to the Yu family, but because the province is located in the frontier, Fufeng County has no choice but to become a material storage center. Large and small camps are lined up one after another, and the six middle-level families have corresponding locations.

Si Ning sat sideways on the horse's back and introduced the internal situation of the Si family.

"…Every year, the Si family gets a share of taxes from the Si County they belong to, which is roughly 100,000 taels of gold. The land, shops, and salaries combined are also a similar amount. The total annual income is about 200,000 taels of gold. In theory, they are very wealthy."

"But the daily expenses, personal relationships, children's training, and private soldiers are all very expensive. In addition, the province was defeated last time, and the government has been building Rong'en Garden in recent years. The Si family has actually been unable to make ends meet for a long time, and they are just trying to save face."

"Originally, there were three golden elites in the palace, namely the youngest and youngest marquis and the chief of the Marquis Siming Guard, Mr. Zhenshan. Now the youngest marquis is almost a useless person, and Mr. Zhenshan is not from the clan. The eldest marquis, a colonel in the military department, is actually a bit overwhelmed."

"The foundation of the Si family is nothing more than five things. The first is the old lady who is the pillar of the family, the second is the 3,000-man private army of Houwei, the third is the large amount of source gold that comes in every year, the fourth is the epic martial arts "The Sword of All Stars", and the fifth is the relationships and titles that have been accumulated over time."

As for his allies, Si Ning believed that he had told them everything he knew.

The main body of Hou Wei's private soldiers is composed of illegitimate sons, house-born sons and collateral relatives. The soldiers are all ordinary silver, which is enough to be appointed as second lieutenants in the military. There are three gold captains in total. One of them, Si Chuan, disappeared in the winter offensive. The leader of the guard is Mr. Zhenshan.

As for the epic martial arts "The Sword of All Stars", its level is actually higher than that of a normal middle-grade family. It is related to the old lady's father-in-law. The origin of the Si family is orthodox in the current realm, which is also one of the main reasons why there are two marquises in the family.

Jiang He slightly increased the speed of his warhorse and asked casually, "Return to the orthodoxy, you don't have any advanced skills?"

There was undisguised greed for the Si family's skills in the other party's tone, he was almost drooling.

"The body and soul can't bear it. In a narrow sense, it's talent. Needless to say." Si Ning played with the jade card. "Every time you master abilities across time, you are gambling your life. Or you simply can't bear it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so difficult for the big forces in the void to cultivate the great powers of the time. So, your skill of tailor-made martial arts is actually quite popular."

"In short, the degree of compatibility between the Sword of All Stars and me is probably second to none. The problem is that the complete version will only be passed on to the future helmsman, so I have to take my time."

"Really?" Jiang He was speechless and could only remain silent.

He is Gluttony, controls all extraordinary things, and has never had similar troubles. Because of Lilith, he can also share most of the pressure with his team members, just like the three disasters of the Dragon Clan.

However, whether you know about this matter or not seems to have no impact, and in the end it can only be regarded as enriching your experience.

Deng Deng Deng!
The gray warhorse rushed into Fufeng County and headed straight for the northern part of the city where military supply suppliers gathered.

"The building in the front left." Si Ning pointed.

The warhorse stopped in front of a six-story building. On both sides, there were numerous warehouses where supplies were stored, and eventually a large amount of stay fees would be paid to the Yu family.

The grey charger disappeared, and the two men set off on foot.

"You have a bad temper." Si Ning looked around, "No one showed up."

"Something's wrong." Jiang He frowned.

The two men walked into the building. A faint smell of blood hit them in the face. The lights dimmed, the corridor looked dilapidated and old, the wind was howling, and an eerie atmosphere arose.

call!
Outside the building, more than a dozen warehouses storing important materials caught fire. At the same time, a layer of dim light spread rapidly along the floor of the corridor. This was the unfolding of the domain.

The attack came unexpectedly.

Unfortunately, Jiang He had already activated the Immortal-level All-Seeing Eye, and could see everything within a radius of thirty-six kilometers.

On the top floor of the building, a golden vampire covered in a black robe was activating his domain, and then he vaguely saw a pure white shining eye.

——Immortal Grade Shining Demonic Eye.

boom!
The back of the blood clan gold's head exploded, and the shadow field collapsed. He looked around in horror, turned around and wanted to leave.

But in the next moment, a figure emerged from his shadow. Jiang He held a pure white spear in his hand, which was shaped by the Shining Heaven and Earth and the ultimate skill of spearmanship: Impermanence.

The shining white spear easily shattered the vampire's golden light armor, then broke through a layer of shadow defense and pierced through his heart completely, bringing death.

Click!

The core of the domain collapsed.

At the moment when the blood clan's gold revived, the Spear of Glory exploded to a limited extent. The strong damage from the sublimation of thunder and fire almost killed him completely. The overflowing energy turned into countless ropes that tightly wrapped around the prey.

When Si Ning arrived at high speed, the battle was over.

For an ordinary gold assassin, someone's speed of capturing him alive was outrageous, and he crushed him with his silver body. Si Ning couldn't help but re-examine the value of the Overlord.

"Four suppliers and more than 700 employees were killed."

"The blood count appeared in the empire. Interesting."

Jiang He dissipated his strength, and his black and red alchemist's attire was spotless. This guy was coming for him.

"I will interrogate him." Si Ning calmed himself down and stepped forward, patterns of flowers and swords intertwined in his eyes. After continuous cultivation and investment, the Abyss Logic Disease has now become the ultimate level, and the three-stage activation prerequisite is no longer necessary.

The flower sword pattern was imprinted in the golden eyes of the vampire. After a twitch, he began to laugh wildly and talk nonsense.

"Hahaha, it's rare that the employer is so cautious. Who would have thought that he is such a useless person, so vulnerable to attack."

"All twelve of you must die. Ten thousand taels of gold are enough to buy a life. You are indeed the Yan family, rich and powerful."

"The louder the noise, the better..."

Vampire Gold told all the intelligence in detail. In his logic, the winner of this battle would not only belong to him, but with the final payment he was about to receive, he would be promoted to a hero, leap to a legend, and achieve a myth. All of these were just around the corner.

Si Ning finally cut off the guy's head.

"The Yan family is seeking revenge for the assassination of the super genius."

"From one month before Yan Liang left Jinxi Fortress until his death, the Yan family planned to kill all the 22 suspects they came into contact with without leaving a single one alive."

"The assassins sent out are from the Dusk Society, a killer organization in the western region, mainly based in the two provinces of Cangwu and Jinxi. Because they are afraid of being exposed, they have recruited many dark races. If the matter is exposed, they will often just brush it off."

"It's worth mentioning that the number of failed assassinations is directly proportional to the suspicion. If he doesn't go back to report, the next one to come should be a gold elite. The next time, the situation may not be good."

Jiang He groaned. This was a counterattack against a political assassination. There was no need to find the real murderer, only a list of executions. As a top-grade family, the Yan family had a strong foundation and was fully capable of launching a purge of those involved in the incident. The truth was not that important.

"What do you mean?" Si Ning looked up. "If it was really you who killed him, we can take the blame together. If not, then we can try to negotiate a peace. I am not innocent if I show up here."

The only way to negotiate peace is to go to the old lady, the head of a middle-class family. If she is willing to pay a price, she can probably save the two of them, provided that they really have nothing to do with the assassination. Otherwise, it will be difficult to cope with the endless in-depth scrutiny.

"I killed him." Jiang He said.

Si Ning rolled her eyes, she guessed it.

Jiang He looked at the fire outside. More than a dozen warehouses of precious materials were burned. All the Cangwu families suffered losses, but these families would not fight against the Yan family. Instead, there was a high probability that they would come forward to appease the criminals in order to calm the situation as soon as possible.

"The ordinary warehouses all belong to us." Jiang He said.

"That's fine, at least we can hold on until we find a new supplier." Si Ning said. A full 10,000 evil guards walked out of the domain gate and plundered the ordinary materials in the camp in the east district of the city as quickly as possible. The preparations for the spring war were imminent, and the resources here were extremely relevant to the war.

There are a total of sixty-four ordinary warehouses, with a cost value of more than seventy thousand source gold.

Si Ning made an estimate and said, "If we sell it secretly and buy raw materials, it is estimated that we can support the smuggling business for more than a month. Leave this matter to me, and you can find a way to deal with the assassination."

Jiang He asked: "Is it possible that the head of the Yan family will take action personally?"

Si Ning scratched his head and replied, "Not really. After all, the super genius is already dead. Once he's gone, there's no one guarding the resources and heritage in the Yan's base camp. But I can't say everything."

"Jiligulu..."

"Hey, hey, hey, did I kill that person?"

The evil guards looted all the supplies and the two men retreated immediately.

……

Imperial Millennium, March 3th.

A fire broke out in a warehouse in Fufeng County, causing heavy losses.

This incident occurred during the war mobilization period, which led to the dismissal of a large number of logistics officers of the Cangwu Army.

The descendants of the Yu family came forward and invited the Yan family and representatives of a number of aristocratic families to organize a joint investigation team to investigate the cause of the incident.

Just when Si Ning was secretly dealing with the supplies, Jiang He returned to the worship house.

The Alchemy Tower appears in the style of a house.

Jiang He took away 25% of the supplies, and the smuggling business could be sustained for only one month.

This time he began to refine the Beggar's Version of Yuanmen and the Ultimate Life Potion, Source of Life.

It will take at least several years to complete the design and completion of a complete Abyss Gate, but if the core matrix that allows living beings to pass through is removed, the difficulty and workload will be significantly reduced.

Just like the teleportation in Origin, at the beginning, the item bag was prohibited from transporting living creatures from other worlds. It was probably because it was not worth the investment for players in the initial stage. Of course, it is still not fully released now. In the portable imperial city, there are only the item guards and their large group.

It took three days to complete the casting of the small special abyss gate that can only transport rare-grade bullets and mosquito coils.

In addition, Jiang He used the remaining materials to refine three ultimate-level life sources.

In three days, 9000 taels of source gold from the smuggling business had been received. After Jiang He completed nine hours of standard training, he put away the alchemy tower and went out to the marquis' mansion across the street.

"Offer to the Lord."

"Jiang Gongfu."

The guards at the gate of the Marquis's mansion did not stop him. As a quasi-alchemist master could be on equal footing with the Marquis, he was already considered a great figure.

Led by the servants, Jiang He found the first-class steward and then went to the villa where the young marquis lived.

In the quaint villa, the young marquis with white hair on his temples was sitting in a wheelchair sipping tea. His eye sockets and cheeks were slightly purple. After the commotion in Rong'en Hall, if the Le family of Yulu County wanted to marry their daughter Le Qingyu to someone else, they would have to pay a price to appease him, the original relative.

"Lieutenant Jiang, please take a seat." The young marquis put down his teacup and said, "I apologize for any offense I caused you that day. If you have anything to say, please speak up. My place is getting more and more deserted, so I don't want you to stay for long."

Jiang He said: "I want to find a position in the military."

The young marquis looked a little more serious, and after a moment's silence, he said, "I once knew a colonel from the Cangwu Army. He was from a branch of the Yu family and had considerable power. The Si family never fell after all. Although I am suffering from a serious illness, I still have some dignity."

Jiang He nodded and pushed out a fountain of life.

"The ultimate-grade potion may be helpful to the young marquis."

The young marquis picked up the potion doubtfully. He was not worried that the other party had ill intentions. After all, his importance to the marquisate had been greatly reduced. But he really didn't dare to have any expectations for what the specific effects would be. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

The Undying Thorns spell that Duke Merrick cast before he was promoted to a hero severely injured two gold elites in one blow. Even the middle-level music master who was good at healing was powerless against this killing move that was more like a curse, mainly because his body was too damaged to withstand the relatively strong effect of the medicine.

The young marquis smiled freely and drank the fountain of life. A warm current swept through his internal organs, and his cold hands and feet gradually regained some temperature. He suddenly vomited a mouthful of black, smelly blood, and the bruises on his face completely disappeared.

Unfortunately, the effect came to an abrupt end.

"What a pleasant surprise." The young marquis turned his head and stared at someone. He wanted to roar at the top of his lungs, wanting the other party to hand over more potions, but this was not the right emotion for a negotiation.

"I'm a potion alchemist." Jiang He said, "I'm good at life and purification, and the effect is relatively mild."

"Hehe." The little marquis laughed and said, "Si Ning is under the command of the Cangwu Army. He is the lieutenant colonel advisor of the 1st Regiment of the Sijun Division, and is on the same level as the regiment commander. Recently, a large number of logistics officers have been dismissed. I can transfer you to the logistics of the 1st Regiment. After that, I want the second potion."

Jiang He thought to himself that the source of life was a secret recipe that the newly promoted alchemy master Ramanov had researched. It was only at the ultimate level, but it was effective for most injuries.

"Thank you in advance."

……

Jiang He returned to the worship house and immediately began to research and compile curse martial arts, assisted by the acceleration of divine thinking. His current limit of martial arts compilation is immortality, and this time it will be used specifically against the Old Lady.

A few days later, July 3th.

In the alchemy tower, all arrangements necessary for offering sacrifices to heaven have been made, including the lyrics, sacrificial music, and sacrifices.

The old lady has been cursed, which is the hatred of the Eternal Dark World towards the human race, which has caused the lifespan of the strong to be as short as that of ordinary people.

Jiang He does not need to curse alone. He plans to mix his own curse into the world's curse. This is the theme and essence of "The Evil Cough Curse".

In order to successfully blend in, one needs the world's permission.

The problem is that there are only a few people in the world who are qualified to submit applications to the world. Fortunately, among those who offer sacrifices to heaven, there is definitely a seat for the emperor.

——The first emperor.

This is one of the core elements of Curse of the Evil Cough.

Jiang He's status at this moment is immortal, which is equal to the target old lady, so there is room for the curse to be effective.

When the Yin hour came, Jiang He held a simple ceremony to offer sacrifices to the heavens. The cast words began to burn. He took out his mind-image weapon, Momentary Echo, and opened his all-seeing eye.

The epic energy property of sin was infused, eventually forming a cursed bomb with no lethality or striking power.

This is the medium of Curse of the Evil Cough.

boom!
Jiang He fired and the bullet disappeared.

In a flash, he cancelled all his abilities and turned around to clean up the alchemy tower.
