Chapter 135: Selfish After All
Qu Nishang walked beside that Qianlan, with a proud posture, wearing a red long skirt, warm and bright.
Qiu Yi's puzzled gaze swept over her and fell on that Qianlan, and for a while, she forgot to say hello and asked, "Master, this is ......?"
That Qianlan stood still in the hall, arching her hand at him, although her tone tried her best to hide it, she still carried a little smugness, "This is Qu Nishang, the princess of Beining, who came specifically for the poisonous people in the city. โ
She thought that after she said this, she would get a surprise reaction from everyone, but none of the three people present showed any unusual reactions, and they didn't seem to care about the person in front of her.
"Your Highness the Princess?"
Qiu Yi's eyes fell on Qu Nisheng, and he secretly disdained in his heart, the poisonous people raging in Yancheng were raging and ferocious, how could this woman easily solve it? Several Yancheng elders were unable to suppress it.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yi couldn't help but sigh, and several elders were unfortunately buried under the poisonous people.
Qu Nishang heard his contempt and his distrust, but for Qu Nishang today, she didn't care at all, who made her dignity useless by that man long ago!
She looked back confidently, and her voice was very modest: "Lord Qiu, the situation in Yancheng is not optimistic, for the sake of the people of Yancheng, disciple Qu Nishang is willing to try his best." โ
She said with her hands folded on one side, generously and confidently to salute Qiu Yi.
As soon as he made a move, he was stopped by that Qianlan.
That Qianlan looked at Qu Nishang disapprovingly, "Your golden body, no one can bear your courtesy." โ
Qu Nishang bent her lips embarrassedly, glanced at Qiu Yi, and replied, "I forgot my ......"
She said that half of it is left and half is left, leaving unlimited space for everyone to diverge their thinking.
This continent is different from the outside world, the Fengtian Dynasty has long been divided into many cities, a city is self-contained, relatively speaking, it is a small country, and although he Qiu Yi is now called the city lord, it is not impossible to say that he is the lord of a country, how can he put a little princess in his eyes.
stared at Qu Nishang for a while, and then looked at that Qianlan, vaguely guessing something in her heart, but thinking that Shangguan said that the dream girl was the one who opened the Fengtian Pot, why did that Qianlan serve Qu Nishang as the little master?
It can't be that the little masters of the Fengtian Dynasty are two people!
The doubts in Qiu Yi's heart are one after another, and it is said that he should trust that Qianlan, but ......
"Forgive the offense, then Master, Yancheng only made a fuss today, I don't know how this princess is far away in Beining, how did she know about it, and how did she arrive so quickly?"
Qu Nishang lowered her eyelids slightly, her long eyelashes covering the gaze under her eyes, and no one could tell what she was thinking.
It was that Qianlan, hearing him ask, not only did she not mind, but explained with a smile: "Speaking of which, I naturally didn't bring Nishang here for the sake of poisoning people, but I just happened to encounter this major incident, as a ...... Ahem, how can you stand by and watch, after all, you know the power of this. โ
When the words fell, that Qianlan glanced at Qiu Yi deeply, this glance, Qiu Yi who saw it chuckled in his heart, and incredulously re-projected his gaze on Qu Nisheng's body, as for what he was incredible, this ...... Nature speaks for itself.
Shangguan Xi stood by and watched them greet each other, his body was detached, as if he was outside this world, even the crazy poisonous people they mentioned couldn't affect him in the slightest.
I didn't want to see the scene of them testing each other again, so I left first.
Xiangying saw him leave, and hurriedly ran out, but her movements were a step slower, and when she went out, she couldn't see Shangguan Xi's figure anymore.
Back in the room, Shangguan Xi told Mengqing everything about his place in Qiu Yi.
"Qu Ni Dress...... Does she really have a way to save the people of Yancheng? Meng Qing obviously didn't believe it, and was even more puzzled about how Qu Nishang got together with Xiao Yiting's master, Na Qianlan?
Shangguan Xi's pale eyebrows condensed together, but the words he answered were not as sure as before, with some hesitation, "She...... No. โ
Everything in the world has mutual restraint, thinking of Qu Nishang and that Qianlan's firm attitude, he didn't dare to be too arbitrary at this moment.
Mengqing sent the sleeping Bao'er to Xu Sanniang's arms, and it wasn't until she watched them go to the back room and close the door that she was relieved.
"Shangguan, I have a feeling that these poisonous people must be related to Zong Shilan in the ancient tomb, you see, ......"
She crouched down and picked up the soles of her shoes, which were dark blue, exactly like the poisonous blood spat out by spiders in ancient tombs.
"This was brought back from the tomb?" Shangguan Xi asked.
"It's not." Meng Qing threw the shoes back on the ground and continued: "It was the filth that I forced to vomit after I fed Xiao Yiting blood, so I guess that those poisons were spread from Zong Shilan's body in the ancient tomb, as for how it spread to the outside world......
"The one who stole the Mukden Pot!" Shangguan Xi insisted.
"That's exactly what I thought."
At this, the two looked at each other suddenly, and then shook their heads.
They were thinking about the same thing, that is, would that Qianlan be the one who took the Fengtian pot? But then I thought about it, how could it be, not to mention that they had just arrived here, and it was difficult for the ancient tomb to enter by ordinary means.
"Even if the source of the poison is determined now, it is useless, the poison spreads too quickly, and they must be detoxified as soon as possible for the sake of the future, so ......"
Before Mengqing finished speaking, Shangguan Xi's body suddenly exuded this terrifying cold, and Mengqing was shocked and didn't dare to say any more.
It seems that such Shangguan Xi has only seen it when she fell off the cliff, but why is it at this moment?
Why, there is only one way to solve the poisonous people in the city, and that is the blood of Mengqing, who is the only descendant of the Fengtian Dynasty!
But he would never allow Mengqing to do such a thing!
Not to mention that she has lost too much blood in order to save Xiao Yiting, and the people of a city have released all the blood in her body, and they can't save it at all. make
What's more, once this matter is known by those people, Mengqing may become a life-saving medicine in the eyes of many people, and they are afraid that they will not be grateful for it.
This is the selfish side of human nature.
Just thinking about this possibility, a chilling killing intent rose in Shangguan Xi's heart.
Meng cautiously approached him and tugged at his shirt, "Shangguan, what's wrong with you?" โ
Shangguan Xi quickly restrained his surging killing intent, and looked back at Mengqing, "Don't worry, when I came out, the city lord summoned almost everyone to come over, and they are estimated to be in the hall all night tonight to discuss how to treat the poisonous people, you don't have to worry, rest early." โ
"But ......" Mengqing still has a hard time letting go, although she is safe for the time being, but as soon as she is free, she will remember what she experienced in Zong Shilan's tomb before.
His gaze moved down and landed on his wrist, which was slender and faintly had cyan blood vessels.
Exhaling softly, Meng made a decision in her heart, she raised her eyes to look at Shangguan Xi, and Shangguan Xi had a bad premonition at that moment.
"With my blood!" Meng Qing stretched out his left hand to Shangguan Xi, with a firm expression.
Shangguan Xi subconsciously refused, "No! โ
"But only my blood can save them, can it?" Meng Qing stared at Shangguan Xi persistently, without the slightest intention of giving up.
Shangguan Xi's thin lips were pursed, and he confronted her silently.
For a long time, his tightened eyebrows sank deeper and deeper, but he admitted defeat to this stubborn woman.
"All it takes is a few drops of your blood, and I'll sprinkle it in the well." Shangguan Xi stared at Meng Qing and told him seriously word by word, "Also, you went to bed very early tonight, you don't know anything, I didn't tell you anything." โ
Mengqing hurriedly agreed, as long as Shangguan Xi promised to help, but ......
"Is just a few drops of blood enough?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted Shangguan Xi's cold gaze, and Meng shrank his head lightly, and replied to himself: "It should be enough." โ
On the second day, as soon as Mengqing got up, he saw the maids of the City Lord's Mansion gathering together in twos and threes, happily discussing something.
She hugged her baba and yawned as she approached.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Beining is so righteous that she is willing to sacrifice her life to save the people of Yancheng!"
"I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess used her own blood to save everyone, what a big pot!"
"I saw this with my own eyes, Princess Ni Dress's face was pale, I was almost scared."
A few little maids were still chattering and discussing, Mengqing was no longer interested in continuing to listen, holding Bao'er's chubby little hand, she walked slowly towards the hall while teasing him, planning to feed Bao'er.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, could Qu Nishang's blood really save people? I hadn't heard of it before.
However, as long as the crisis in Yancheng can pass, it doesn't matter who is responsible for this.
While eating, Shangguan Xi rushed in with a deep breath full of depression, and when he saw that Meng Qing didn't care, he was even more angry and landed his palms directly on the table.
"Do you know that Qu Nishang has replaced you for your merits, and now she is thanked by all the people of Yancheng and is regarded as a guest!"
Meng lightly coaxed Bao'er to drink a spoonful of porridge, raised her eyes to look at him, and nodded, "I know, they're all talking about it." โ
The more she didn't care like this, the more angry Shangguan Xi was for her, and she turned around and was about to walk out, "I'll tell the truth!" โ
"Don't!" Mengqing hurriedly stopped him, "I don't want to come out, besides, there are so many people in this Yancheng, how much blood is needed!" โ
She sighed, gently rubbed Bao'er's back, her eyes were gentle, "I still want to live well and watch my Bao'er grow up healthy." โ
And also......
Xiao Yiting.
I don't know how far the poison in his body has spread, and I don't know how much blood is needed to treat him, so she has to ...... in order for both of them to live well
After all, she is also selfish.
On the other side, Qu Nishang was resting in a room specially prepared for her.
Nominally resting, in fact, she is practicing her internal skills.
A wisp of blue qi was on the top of her head, and at this moment, that delicate face was quickly covered with blue blood, looking like countless earthworms winding on it, extremely terrifying.
However, just as she adjusted her internal breath to the extreme, the bone-eroding pain suddenly spread to her heart, like fifty blunt knives poking at once, and the pain was unbearable for her.
"Poofโ"
A mouthful of blue-blue liquid spewed out of her mouth, and the blue-blue liquid bubbled up on the ground in an instant, burning a large hole in the carpet beneath her feet.
"Damn! It's obviously the last layer away, why can't it be broken through! โ
Wiped the "blood" stains from the corners of her mouth, Qu Nishang cursed, and all that was free in her eyes was monstrous unwillingness.
