Chapter 55: Lock Dragon Gu
Xu Buling's assassination in Renyi Hall must have brought a lot of turmoil, and the wolf guards of the Investigation Division poured out of the nest that night, searching for the rebels scattered into the city, and all the squares also began martial law.
After the third watch, the whole scene was silent, and only the wolf guards occasionally rode by on the street.
Ning Qingye took Zhongli and Chu Chu out of Renyi Hall, it was impossible to really chase and kill Wu Wu and Xue Yi, and after leaving Hutai Street, he withdrew in disguise and returned to the dilapidated small courtyard where he was hiding.
The three of them stopped in the uninhabited courtyard, and after Hu Yanjie cautiously looked at the surrounding environment, he spoke:
"Miss Ning, among the wolf guards who came over just now, there is a woman who is selling lanterns today, I have seen it, and it must have been following me to find Renyi Hall. The envoy's affairs have leaked and been targeted, Chang'an can't just stay, and can only meet again in the rivers and lakes! ”
As for Ning Qingye's attraction of Xu Buling, Hu Yanjie did not mention it.
Although this move broke the rules of the rivers and lakes, it was thanks to this that he was able to save his life. If he was really inexplicably deceived into killing Xu Buling, based on what I saw today, he would not be able to die with a hundred lives.
Ning Qingye didn't pay attention to this matter, someone wanted to kill Xu Buling, but he couldn't stop Xu Buling from doing it, he could only blame Chen Siye for his bad luck and met a brainless gold master.
Ning Qingye knew about Hu Yanjie and Zhongli Chuchu pretending to be envoys, so he immediately raised his hand and said:
"Think twice in the future, and take care of yourself all the way."
Hu Yanjie returned the salute with his fists, then turned around and jumped over the courtyard wall quickly, disappearing into the vast night.
Ning Qingye moved her gaze to Zhongli Chuchu, and seeing that she hadn't left, she was a little puzzled:
"Anything else?"
Zhongli Chuchu still has palpitations in her heart, if she is not allowed to help in the interval between the battles, she has already been stabbed through with an iron gun, although Fang Cai turned against Xu Buling to do something, but a word of thanks still has to be said.
Moreover, Zhongli Chuchu has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has always been above the top, and he has never looked down on men, especially the scholars of Wen Zou Zou in the Central Plains. But the last time she glanced outside the restaurant, it made her feel unattainable.
In the past, no matter how arrogant a man was, his attitude would change greatly after seeing her appearance, and he would start to be courteous without a head.
Although Zhongli Chuchu didn't take pleasure in it, at this moment, he really wanted to see what would happen to the prince of the Central Plains, who was peerless and a little cynical, when he saw her appearance.
"Miss Ning, that friend of yours, will you come over later?"
Ning Qingye's slender eyebrows frowned slightly:
"You know his identity, there was a big mess today, and I don't have time to come."
Zhongli Chu Chu's green eyes showed a bit of pity, and after looking at Ning Qingye a few times:
"Is it okay to ask you a question?"
"Say."
"That little prince, what was your reaction when I saw your appearance for the first time?"
Ning Qingye saw her ask about this, a little unclear, thought about it slightly, and frowned slightly:
"Men are all the same, what kind of reaction can they have, and the rhetoric is not pleasing...... However, he is also a real temperament, and he is still a good person......"
Zhongli Chuchu was suddenly - but so, it seems that he is also a gentleman who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman...... When I see her in the future, I guess it's the same reaction......
Thinking of this, Zhongli Chuchu showed a bright smile and hooked the corners of his mouth: "I wanted to get to know him, but it's a pity that tonight I am masked and there are branches, and I don't know when I will meet again." ”
"He's not from the rivers and lakes, and you may not be able to see him a second time in your life."
It's a bit straight, but it's true.
For the powerful vassal king, the rivers and lakes are just a small mud pond, and there will be no interest at all. And Zhongli Chuchu, a foreign Jianghu person, is not qualified to go to the palace as a guest, how can he have the opportunity to contact Xu Buling.
Zhongli Chuchu chuckled lightly and pondered a little: "As long as it is a human being, it will remember human affection...... I heard that he fell for the Lock Dragon Gu, is it true? ”
Ning Qingye's eyes condensed slightly, and his expression suddenly changed a little: "Do you know the solution to the Lock Dragon Gu?" ”
"Hehehe......"
Zhongli Chuchu covered his lips with red sleeves and laughed a few times: "Miss Ning cares a lot about that little prince." ”
"He has saved my life, so he naturally cares. If you know, you will remember your personal feelings. ”
Zhongli Chuchu slowly walked to the eaves and dragged a small stool to sit down: "The Lock Dragon Gu is from Southern Xinjiang, it was originally a secret technique of the Hundred Worm Valley, and it is extremely domineering to die in the middle, and it used to be very famous in Baiyue, but it was lost. ”
Ning Qingye sat down opposite and put the long sword on his lap: "I know it's lost, do you know how to detoxify?" ”
Zhongli Chuchu shook his head: "The Lock Dragon Gu is domineering, the domineering Gu poison erodes the limbs and hundreds of bones, there is no cure at all, you can only warm the body and suppress the cold poison with strong wine, you may be able to live to old age, but you must be a waste person in this life...... For the little prince, he should be an ordinary person in this life, he should not be poisoned deeply, otherwise it is impossible to live a dragon, but poison is also a matter of time. ”
"There is no cure for ......"
Ning Qingye's face became a little solemn: "There is no way at all?" ”
Zhongli Chuchu nodded: "If there is an antidote, the Lock Dragon Gu will not make the people of the rivers and lakes talk about it." There have been many people in Baiyue Jianghu who have been poisoned by this poison, and they have never heard of it. ”
“……”
Ning Qingye opened his mouth, his beautiful cheeks obviously showed a bit of loss, he was silent for a while, and sighed softly.
Zhongli Chuchu thought for a while: "I also use poison, and I heard Master talk about the method of raising Gu. Generally speaking, Gu worms are alive, in order to prevent backlash against themselves, after the poisonous insects become Gu, they will be fed with their own blood, and after a long time, the Gu worms will not poison the owner, and people with the same blood as the master will not be hurt. ”
Ning Qingye didn't know much about this kind of secret technique in southern Xinjiang, but he understood the meaning: "If you have the same blood as the Gu cultivator, you won't be poisoned, and if you are poisoned, it means that you have no blood, and you can't solve it at all?" ”
Zhongli Chuchu nodded, was silent for a moment, and remembered something again: "It's not completely impossible, my master has studied these things, but they may not be useful......
Ning Qingye's eyes lit up: "Say, it's better than waiting for death." ”
Zhongli Chuchu's eyes were a little strange, and he leaned over to Ning Qingye's ear and muttered a few words in a low voice.
Ning Qingye's brows gradually furrowed, and he hesitated slightly: "This ...... Wouldn't it be better to find a Gu cultivator? ”
"It's okay to find relatives of the same blood, but this method was researched by my master, she has never been very reliable, don't report too much hope."
"If there is a way, the poison is ordered by the emperor, just find a princess and try it."
Zhongli Chu Chu sneered: "Even if it is poisoned by Emperor Dayue, how can the Ninety-Five Venerable raise Gu by himself." ”
Ning Qingye thought about it too, and was a little embarrassed: "The entire Dayue belongs to the emperor, as long as the emperor doesn't hand over the Gu cultivators, it's not useless." ”
Zhongli Chuchu thought about it carefully: "The Lock Dragon Gu is from Southern Xinjiang, and there is no one on Da Yue's side. Before Jiazi, the Baiyue Kingdom was broken, and the Hundred Worm Valley was regarded as a crooked and evil way, and it was slaughtered and set on fire by the Dayue Imperial Court, and many poisonous Gu were lost. However, after that, there were several people on the Dayue River and Lake who were poisoned by Gu, and the Sword Saint Zhu Silk Mountain was rumored to have created this poisonous hand. ”
"Are you saying that the Imperial Court secretly took away the Lock Dragon Gu at that time? It's been more than 60 years......"
"Gu worms have an extremely long lifespan, and they can still kill people after sleeping in the mausoleum for thousands of years, what is sixty years. If it was a lock dragon Gu under the imperial court, it was very likely to be taken away at that time...... However, it was Xu Lie who led the troops to break through the hundred Yue back then, which is interesting......"
Ning Qingye was also stunned - yes, it was Xu Lie who led the troops to break through the hundred Yue, if Xu Lie handed over the lock dragon Gu to the imperial court, it would be impossible for the emperor to use this thing to poison Xu Buling, isn't this pouring dirty water on himself.
The two of them were puzzled, Zhongli Chuchu still had to dare to leave Chang'an before martial law, and he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he got up and said:
"I know so much, if the little prince is poisoned, he owes me a life, remember to let him come and thank me."
As he spoke, he dodged out of the courtyard wall and disappeared into the night.
Ning Qingye sat in place and thought for a moment, thinking that it would be better to wait for Xu Buling to come over and tell him the news......
