Chapter 254: Anger
Cheng Jin glanced at her and felt that she was simply asking this question, what good did the Nanban do to help King Qi ascend to the throne without getting involved in the Central Plains? Are all the Nanbanians so helpful?
Ye Ping knew that she had asked something stupid, and she already had the answer in her heart, but she couldn't believe that as a person from Daliang and a descendant of Taizu, King Qi would do a stupid thing to lure wolves into the house and slaughter his own people.
"No one knows what the situation is with King Qi, maybe he is crazy by his obsession, maybe he has been controlled by the Southern Barbarians with Gu magic, in short, don't expect anything from King Qi." Cheng Jin's expression didn't fluctuate, "As for whether that god king is a Gu master who is ambushed in the capital, this may not be." β
Ye Ping's heartstrings trembled and looked at Wen Shao'an.
Wen Shao'an didn't look at her, and peeled a few melon seeds for Cheng Jin like gossip, "Those Gu worms that appeared in the capital before were brought from the Southern Barbarians, and the one who attacked you today was only born and raised in the capital?" β
Cheng Jin felt that talking to smart people was worry-free, "Yes, this colorful beetle has a variant today." β
"How do you know where this beetle was raised?" Ye Ping suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Didn't you say last time that you couldn't tell what this Gu worm was raised with, why are you even able to distinguish the origin now?" β
"Because of the Blackwater River, this beetle does not have the fishy smell of the Blackwater River." She wrinkled her nose in disgust, although the appearance of the Gu worm was good-looking, but the smell was really bad, ordinary people might not be able to smell it, she had seen too much, and she had a special sense of this kind of thing.
"What's that smell like?"
"The smell of Pingkangfang's fat powder." Cheng Jin sniffed his fingers and washed them so many times, he could still vaguely smell the fragrance of fat powder.
"Qinglou?" This was Ye Ping's first reaction.
"Not necessarily," Cheng Jin's eyes condensed slightly, "That colorful Gu worm is fed with the girl's flesh and blood, and the fat powder used by the girl before her death is the most famous rose incense powder in Pingkangfang Jiaoyan Pavilion, and it has been used for many years. β
"Rose powder?" Ye Ping looked ignorant.
Cheng Jin was very surprised, "Lord Ye has never used it?" Jiaoyan Pavilion has been there since the time of Qianyan, and the formula of that rose fragrance powder has not changed for hundreds of years, and the girl who has used that fragrance powder since she was a child will not need it, and she will also have the fragrance of roses on her body. β
Ye Ping, hehehe, you're talking about yourself.
Although she is a woman, but unlike those boudoir daughters who have been pampered since childhood, her mind has never been on the fat powder dress, although she knows that there is such a place as Jiaoyan Pavilion, but she has never cared about the most famous rose powder.
As for Cheng Jin, that's an old monster, what is there she doesn't understand?
"Maybe it's because the Nanban girl has used rose incense powder since she was a child?"
"Lord Ye, do you know how much this rose incense powder is worth? The girl who can afford to use rose incense powder in Nanban will not feed Gu with her body, take 10,000 steps back and say, there is such a girl, Gu worms can't stand it, the Heishui River stinks, but Gu worms just like this kind of smell, Gu worms are afraid of fragrance, especially in the young age of Gu worms, once they come into contact with fragrance, they will definitely die. β
"And those Gu worms you collected before?"
"Naturally, they're all dead, what do I feed them? It's that they don't adapt to the water and soil, and they are also starved to death by me," Cheng Jin felt funny, "You really take the Gu worms I collected with me, and give a Gu to whoever I see is not pleasing to the eye?" I'm not a Southern Barbarian, it's no problem to solve Gu, but if you want me to raise Gu and lower Gu, it's difficult for a strong man. β
"In other words, this Gu worm has a variant, and it doesn't like the smell of fish, but the smell of fat powder?" At this time, Ye Ping should have been angry, but Ye Ping actually laughed along, as if she saw a fly suddenly turn into a butterfly.
"Let's just say that," Cheng Jin thought for a while, "Go and inquire about the girl who has recently disappeared in the capital, her family is well-off, she can afford to use rose incense powder, and there are those girls with cards in the Qinglou, this Gu worm is very fresh, and it will probably be raised for two or three months." β
"I understand, the girl who can afford to use rose powder but is missing, I will send someone to Jingzhao Mansion to investigate. You maidβ"
"My maid is fine, please go to the pharmacy and grab a patch of medicine for her." Cheng Jin bowed his head and wrote a prescription and handed it to her.
"I'm afraid she has Gu worm eggs on her." Ye Ping tugged at the corners of her mouth.
"Don't worry, I can't dirty your place."
"Then, I'm going to investigate the case," Ye Ping glanced at the two of them hesitantly, always feeling that the two of them still had something to hide from her, but she was too embarrassed to ask more, "You two talk first?" β
Wen Shao'an nodded at Ye Ping calmly, and saw that Ye Ping's back had completely disappeared, so he stood up and rushed to Cheng Jindao, "You come with me." β
Cheng Jin pursed his lips and followed him to the room where the red silk was placed without saying a word.
"I'm going to put a blood curse on your maid." He doesn't have any mood swings when he speaks, even more so than "I brought you a braised pig hand".
"Don't," Cheng Jin vetoed without hesitation, she had read the book he gave her, and knew what the blood curse was, "I promised her a good future, and now she is injured because of me, if she becomes crazy and stupid again, I will not only be sorry for her, but I will not be able to pass this level by myself, not to mention that the blood curse is extremely damaging to you, why bother with such cause and effect because of the Southern Barbarians." β
"This matter must be settled today." It was rare for him to be so tough in front of her, completely to the point of ignoring her opinion, "Does your maid have a good future, what does it have to do with me?" I don't care if there will be people who will be bad for you, I can be merciful once, there can't be a second time. β
"It's just a Gu worm, I'm not afraid!" Cheng Jin was anxious and grabbed his hand, after all, in his previous life, he was the Empress Zhuang Jing who was able to sacrifice herself for the people of Limin, but now she does not bear the common people in the world, and she is not willing to kill innocents indiscriminately.
Wen Shaoan glanced at her, with a compelling cold in his eyes, and his disregard almost froze her.
He has never been as calm as he seems, and his gentle smile is just forcibly suppressing his emotions and covering them up in front of Ye Ping.
She was stunned for a moment, and he used his hand to cut through Hongxuan's fingers, and a few drops of blood fell.
"Wait a minuteβ" she immediately stood in the way, "wait a minute! I've got a way! Shao'an, wait a minute, listen to me first, if what I say is wrong, then curse, okay? β
For the first time, she was frightened by his appearance, and she almost forgot what kind of person he was, he was a man who was so determined that he would not even want his own life, and he really didn't care about getting angry.
