"As far as I know, except for the people of southern Xinjiang, no one will tattoo a black scorpion pattern on their neck." Fang Qi took a sip of tea and continued, "You said, if I handed you over to His Royal Highness King Ming, who was about to go to southern Xinjiang to quell the rebellion, and let him see the black scorpion pattern on your neck, would he let you get out of this camp alive?" ”

The southern Xinjiang man was shocked and asked, "This is Xiao Guo's military camp?" ”

Fang Qi smiled and did not deny it.

After carefully looking at his surroundings, the face of the southern Xinjiang man gradually returned to calm. Looking at Fang Qi, with a smile like a fox on his face, he said, "Your Excellency doesn't want His Royal Highness King Ming of your country to know that you saved a person from Southern Xinjiang!" ”

"It's nature." Fang Qi nodded, looked at the calculation on the face of the southern Xinjiang man, shook his head, and continued, "So, if you don't want me to send your body to His Royal Highness King Ming, it's best to be honest." ”

The smile on the faces of the people in southern Xinjiang froze, and after looking at Fang Qi for a long time, he smiled, and Fang Qi said, "Your Excellency is not afraid that the wall has ears?" ”

Fang Qi understood what the southern Xinjiang people meant, and approached with some precautions, and attached his ear to the lips of the southern Xinjiang people.

The southern Xinjiang man's lips moved, and he said a name in Fang Qi's ear.

Fang Qi's face was shocked, and after straightening up, he looked at the people from Southern Xinjiang with a suspicious face, and asked, "Your Excellency can have evidence?" ”

The southern Xinjiang man reached out and took out an ice-blue eagle pendant from his arms and threw it into Fang Qi's hand. Fang Qi took a closer look at the eagle pendant, and the doubts in his heart dissipated. Facing the southern Xinjiang people, he saluted and said politely, "I didn't expect that I saved your life by mistake, and I was offended by all of them, so please don't blame you." ”

After speaking, Fang Qi handed back the eagle pendant in his hand.

After the southern Xinjiang people put away the eagle pendant, a mocking smile hooked up on the corner of their mouths, and said to Fang Qi, "Now, you can talk about your purpose." ”

Fang Qi looked at the southern Xinjiang man and whispered a few words in his ear.

The smile on the face of the southern Xinjiang man became bigger and bigger, and he said to Fang Qi, "This is simple, but well, you have to heal my injuries first." Otherwise, if I don't make it back to southern Xinjiang alive, the agreement between us will be useless. ”

Fang Qi nodded with a smile and said, "This is natural. ”

In the next few days, Fang Qidu sent someone to quietly bring the military doctor who was very tight-tongued to the prison camp tent, and used the best medicinal materials to restore the injuries of the southern Xinjiang man.

However, after three or five days of hard work, most of the injuries on the southern Xinjiang man were healed.

"It seems that Your Excellency's injuries are almost healed." Fang Qi looked at the southern Xinjiang people who were sitting in his camp tent like an uncle, and said with a smile.

"It also needs to be carefully arranged by the labor supervision army." The southern Xinjiang man glanced up at Fang Qi and said.

"I wonder when you plan to leave? This overseer army should let his subordinates arrange in advance. Fang Qi asked, the meaning of eviction in his eyes was very obvious.

In the past few days, I have been looking for a military doctor to come over, although it is all done in secret, but there is no impermeable wall in this world. If it reaches the ears of Xiao Zhihan and Yan Xi, his good opportunity to fall from heaven will be completely in vain. If they find this southern Xinjiang man again, I am afraid that his life will end here.

"Don't worry, Lord Warden, I will leave tonight, and I will definitely not affect Lord Warden." The southern Xinjiang man smiled, took out a palm-sized box from his arms, shook it towards Fang Qi and said, "Please accept this gift from the Prison Guard, it will be regarded as an expression of my sincerity." ”

Fang Qi stepped forward and opened the box, only to see ten dried brown insects the size of silkworms lying in the box. Fang Qi frowned and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Heart Devouring Gu, all it takes is a drop of blood from Lord Overseer, and this Gu worm will be awakened. When the time comes, driven by the sound of a special flute, this Gu worm will burrow into its body while people are unprepared. As long as you fall into this Heart-Eating Gu, no matter who it is, you have to obediently obey the orders of the Prison Lord. A playful smile appeared on the face of the Southern Xinjiang people, and he took out a half-arm-long piccolo, handed it to Fang Qi's hand, and continued, "This piccolo is made of human bones, and the only thing that can drive these Heart-devouring Gu is to be put away by Lord Overseer." ”

Fang Qi was overjoyed, closed the box, and carefully put it away together with the piccolo.

After sending off the Southern Xinjiang people, Fang Qi took out the box containing the Heart Devouring Gu. According to the method taught to him by the people of Southern Xinjiang, he cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto one of the Heart Devouring Gus.

I saw that the blood on the Heart Eater Gu gradually seeped into the Heart Eater Gu's body, and the Heart Eater Gu, which was originally like a brown insect that had been sun-dried, gradually came back to life. The silkworm-sized body plumped up, and the whole body turned from a dry brown to a blood-red color full of life.

Fang Qi took a finger-thick bamboo tube, picked up the living Heart-devouring Gu in the box, crashed into the bamboo tube, and then called Ah Hu's name towards the outside of the tent.

"Your Excellency." Ah Hu walked in and looked at Fang Qi respectfully.

Fang Qi handed the bamboo tube in his hand and a half-arm-long piccolo to Ah Hu, and whispered something in Ah Hu's ear.

Ah Hu nodded, and put the bamboo tube and piccolo into his clothes.

That night, Fang Qi had someone bring a pot of sake and a few dishes to accompany the wine. Sitting at the table, eating and drinking happily.

As soon as he thought of what he had arranged for Ah Hu to do, he couldn't help but rejoice. As long as Ah Hu succeeds tonight, Xiao Zhihan and Yan Xi will no longer be able to turn over his palms.

Let's say that Ah Hu on the other side quietly approached Xiao Zhihan's tent outside the night tent. Seeing the two people on duty outside the camp, Ah Hu thought about it, walked to the grass on the side, and made some noise.

A guard outside Xiao Zhihan's tent heard the sound of the grass and immediately turned around and went there to check. Ah Hu took advantage of this opportunity and quietly went around to the dark place behind Xiao Zhihan's tent.

Seeing the shadows of Xiao Zhihan and Yan Xi projected on the camp, Ah Hu's eyes were confused, and a malicious smile appeared on his face.

took out the bamboo tube given to him by Fang Qi from his arms, opened the lid on the bamboo tube, and poured it on the ground, and saw a small blood-red insect slowly crawling out of the bamboo tube.

"This is the Heart Devouring Gu!" Ah Hu looked at the blood-red worm that was slowly wriggling on the ground, muttered quietly, reached out and gently touched the small body of the Heart Devouring Gu, and said softly, "Little guy, I'll see you tonight." ”

After speaking, Ah Hu took out a piccolo from his arms. He put the piccolo to his lips and played it gently according to the melody that Fang Qi had taught him.

But Ah Hu blew for a long time, and he didn't hear any sound from the piccolo.

Ah Hu frowned, checked carefully, and saw that there was no damage on the piccolo, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Where did the adults get this broken flute, it can't make a sound at all!" What can I do? Could it be that my playing method is wrong, or try again? ”

Thinking like this, Ah Hu picked up the piccolo and continued to play.

This time, Ah Hu still didn't hear any sound. Ah Hu sighed, a hint of frustration on his face.

Forget it, let's go back and ask the overseer, why is this piccolo without a sound!

Ah Hu held the bamboo tube with the thickness of his fingers, and was about to put the Heart Eater Gu on the ground back, but when he lowered his head, he couldn't find the shadow of the Heart Eater Gu. Ah Hu was shocked and hurriedly looked for it nearby.

How could it be gone? I'm obviously here!

Ah Hu searched and searched and couldn't find the blood-red Heart Devouring Gu, and sweat broke out on his anxious forehead.

He didn't complete the task, and he also lost all the Heart Devouring Gu that Lord Overseer handed over to him, so how could he go back and deal with him!

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from inside the camp, Ah Hu listened with his ears pricked up, only to hear Yan Xi say with a little surprise, "Xiao Zhihan, where did this insect come from?" ”

Ah Hu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder he couldn't find the Heart Eater Gu, it turned out that it was the Heart Eater Gu who had gotten into the camp tent by himself.

"This bug looks so strange, it's red, and it's weird and good-looking." Yan Xi's voice came from the tent again.

Ah Hu sneered and muttered disdainfully in his heart.

Isn't it pretty? This is the Heart-Eater Gu of Southern Xinjiang. When this Heart Devouring Gu burrows into your body and allows you to obediently listen to the instructions of the Prison Lord, I will see if you still think this Heart Devouring Gu is good-looking.

At this moment, there was a scolding sound in the distance, and it was the two guards who had been led away by him who had returned. Ah Hu hurriedly lowered his head and put away the bamboo tube and piccolo on the ground, and quickly left Xiao Zhihan's camp around.

In the tent of the prison camp, Fang Qi was drinking the wine in the cup, when suddenly there was a strange flute sound. Listening to the sound of this flute, Fang Qi's face gradually became dyed with a layer of joy.

"King Ming, King Ming, this time, the prison army is here to see, how angry are you." Fang Qi muttered to himself.

Fang Cai's weird melody is very familiar to Fang Qi. This was the only thing that the Southern Xinjiang man gave him before he left, and it was the only thing that could control the Heart Devouring Gu.

At this time, the flute sounded, and it must have been Ah Hu who had completed the task and manipulated the Heart Devouring Gu to drill into the bodies of Xiao Zhihan or Yan Xi.

Such a good event, how can you not have a few glasses to celebrate?

Fang Qi poured himself a glass of wine again and drank it happily.

When Ah Hu came back, all he saw was Fang Qi sitting crookedly on a chair, already a little drunk.

Fang Qi squinted his eyes, saw Ah Hu in front of him, and said with a smile, "Ah Hu is back!" This time you have made a great contribution, and the prison army must reward you well when you turn back. ”

Ah Hu stepped forward, helped Fang Qi's body that was almost falling, and said with a smile, "It is Ah Hu's blessing to be able to serve adults." ”

Fang Qi pushed away Ah Hu's hand holding him, walked tremblingly, looked at Ah Hu and asked, "Ah Hu, tell this prison army, who fell into the Heart Devouring Gu between King Ming and that annoying military doctor?" ”

Ah Hu knelt down in front of Fang Qi suddenly, and said with a little weakness, "My lord, Ah Hu doesn't know. ”

Hearing Ah Hu's words, Fang Qi's alcohol instantly sobered up. He looked at Ah Hu who was kneeling in front of him with a calm face and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Taking out the piccolo from his arms, Ah Hu explained to Fang Qi with a serious face, "My lord, it's the problem with this piccolo. The small one blew several times in a row outside King Ming's tent, but no sound came out at all. ”
