Chapter 183: Ghost-Faced Parasitic Wasp

"Lord Ding has seen it?" Seeing that Ding Yunliang seemed to know something, Qiao Xiya hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked urgently.

"Xia Guan heard Hu Tou'er mention it, Xia Guan may not be able to draw what it looks like, but he can still draw an outline, Xia Guan can still do it." Ding Yunliang's hands trembled a little, at this moment he just wanted to avenge the dead officials.

"Lord Ding." Chu Yun brought a pen and paper and spread it on the table beside Qiao Xiya.

Ding Yunliang took the pen, brushed a little bit, sketched a few strokes, and a flying insect that looked like a bee but not a bee was presented on the paper.

"What is this?" Qiao Xiya asked, pointing to the stripes on the bulging abdomen of the flying insect.

"Hu Tou'er said that this is the biggest difference between this bug and a bee." Ding Yunliang wiped his moist eyes and continued, "He said that the black ecliptic on the bee is circled one by one, but this one is not, this insect is one by one."

"One by one......" Qiu Yueling looked at the drawing paper and fell into deep thought, "Could it be its ......" The two thin eyebrows frowned, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.

"What does Your Highness remember?" Qiao Xiya asked.

"Ghost-faced parasitic wasps." Qiu Yueling raised her eyes to look at Qiao Xiya, "This kind of bee will inject its own eggs into the living objects it encounters, and then these eggs will eat up the parasitic living creatures from their bodies little by little, and eventually leave a dry skin. Then, they sleep in this skin wrap, hatching, waiting to be summoned. And on the back of the living creature he parasitizes, a ghost face with blue faces and fangs will appear."

"What happens if you are called?" Qiao Xiya seemed to have guessed the answer, but she still wanted to hear it with her own ears.

"They will bite all the living creatures around them to death, just like the bearded ones."

Qiu Yueling's words were the confirmation that Qiao Xiya hoped to get, and it was also the words that Qiao Xiya didn't want to hear.

"If we hadn't arrived, there would have been no more living people in the yamen in less than half an hour."

Qiu Yueling's words made everyone present stunned.

"Then why did it turn into black smoke in the end...... Ding Yunliang asked unwillingly.

"Last stand. If it succeeds, the girl Qiao and the prince in front of you at this time will be their new parasitic ground." Qiu Yueling glanced at Ding Yunliang coldly, "It's a pity that they lost the bet."

"If what His Royal Highness said is true...... Qiao Xiya glanced at Mo Haoning, "Then Imperial Doctor Peng, is ......it possible?"

Mo Haoning glanced at the gradually falling night outside the door, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart.

"Chu Yun, you and Miss Qiao are waiting for Su Huaizuo's troops here, and General Su and I will enter the palace to face the saint." After that, Mo Haoning paused and looked at Qiu Yueling, "What are the plans of His Royal Highness?"

Qiu Yueling looked at Qiao Xiya, took off the bracelet on her wrist and handed it to Qiao Xiya: "Jin'an City is full of dangers, you are already overwhelmed, and the matter of finding the Worm King will not trouble you." If I can't save my mother, I'll find a way to contact you. By holding this, you can ensure that you and the people around you are not attacked by these evil spirits that have been transformed by insects."

"Thank you, Your Highness, then you ......" Qiao Xiya took the bracelet and looked at Qiu Yueling worriedly.

"Do you not believe in Lord Ding's governance or in my methods?" Qiu Yueling chuckled softly, "Okay, I'll be careful."

"She still won't?" A pair of morning boots walked around the room a little impatiently.

"I can't get close at all, the whole thing is that the oil and salt don't enter, so it's better to kill it!" The eldest lady stirred the handkerchief in her hand with some impatience.

"Where's Jinyu?" Chao Boots frowned, his heart a little restless. According to his plan, tomorrow's Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the most suitable time to do it, but now the captured insect king oil and salt are not entered, which makes him a little worried about his plan. He couldn't help but think of the trump card raised in his back garden, the mermaid Jinyu.

"Jinyu hasn't responded to me in months." The eldest lady took a sip of the tea at hand and replied with annoyance.

"Months?!" Chao Boots couldn't help but raise his voice, "I haven't responded for months, why haven't you reported it for a long time?"

"I want to report it." The eldest lady snorted lightly

"In order to save your life, you forcibly gouged out your eyeballs, how long have you been cultivating, have you forgotten? And your painting, which said that it could be immortal, almost ruined the family, and made a mess for so long, didn't you just remember that there is a Jinyu aunt and grandmother in the back garden?"

"You kid!" was robbed of a few words by the eldest lady, and sighed towards the boots, unable to refute, "I'll say one sentence, you have ten sentences waiting for me." I really didn't know that I raised such a disobedient and unfilial child as you."

"Hahahaha......" The eldest lady let out a burst of laughter like silver bells, "It must be that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked!" Are these things not disobedience to you?"

"Presumptuous!" Chao Boots couldn't help but growl.

The eldest lady was not afraid, sneered, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly, without looking at the boots, and muttered in a low voice: "Dare not do it, but still think about being the emperor, I see you, you are also a short-lived emperor!"

"You ......" Chao Boots trembled with anger, but there was nothing to be done.

"Let's go, go see that Aunt Jinyu." The eldest lady stood up, walked out, and when she walked to Chao Boots, she gently patted Chao Boots' shoulder, "Don't be angry, don't forget, you are changing your life against the sky, and when the time comes to burn the watch and sacrifice to the sky, without me, you still can't sit in the Jinluan Palace." With that, the eldest lady looked up to the sky and laughed and walked out.

The moonlight sprinkled, and there seemed to be tears flashing in the corners of the eldest lady's eyes.

There was silence in the back garden, and Chao Boots and the eldest lady walked up to the bamboo arch bridge on the lotus pond in the back garden.

"Jinyu." Whisper to the boots.

The back garden is quiet.

"Jinyu." He called out to the boots again.

Still no response.

"How? That aunt answered you?" The eldest lady looked at the full moon reflected in the lotus pond and sneered.

Glancing at the eldest lady, he called out again, "Jinyu."

"Whoa!" A burst of water sounded unexpectedly, and the water in the lotus pond made a huge splash, splitting his head and covering his face and smashing it into his boots. When Chao Boots wiped the water off his face and struggled to open his eyes, Jinyu was already sitting on the railing of the bamboo bridge, looking at him coldly.

A moon-white fishtail, reflecting the moonlight at the moment, looks brilliant and dazzling.

"Long time no see." Jinyu's hoarse voice pierced the night sky, and Chao Boot couldn't help but shudder.

"Oh, I haven't seen you for months, and you're still so useless." Jinyu sneered, "Say it, you have always been a person who has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so if you have something, just say it."

"Hehe," Chao Boots laughed embarrassedly, "Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I have gathered all the people and horses, and I am ready to force the palace when the emperor sets up a palace dinner tomorrow, and when the time comes, you can force the emperor to get back what you want."

"Okay, I'll definitely help out then!" Jinyu said, sneered, plopped, escaped into the lotus pond, and disappeared.
