Chapter 172: Riding a Tiger
At the moment when the jade bottle approached, the scroll in the darkness turned again, and the candle flame was faint, reflecting some vague and broken images:
Pain, fear, despair, loneliness, and ...... Sentimentally attached.
There is no exact person or thing, only bottomless darkness.
Wei Shu's eyes were misty, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the jade bottle fell to the ground.
After a breath, she suddenly shook her spirit, and her eyes cleared.
Another hallucination?
Previously, after the fake priest mistakenly hit the poisonous sword of the green sword woman, his body was like dry bones, his face was smiling, and his death was still terrifying, and Wei Shu was attacked by this woman twice, and the hallucinations he had were all beautiful dreams; But now that the poison has been removed, the illusion has become depressed again.
Poison also causes hallucinations, and the solution also causes hallucinations, is the reason for the poison and the antidote to make people hallucinate that is the opposite of their effect?
Wei Shu picked up the jade bottle, searched the corpse again, and found many bottles and cans, including many special wound medicine made by the villa.
After smearing the Jinchuang herb on her back, and swallowing a few pills for internal injuries, she sat on the spot to breathe, and waited until the medicinal properties in her body dissipated slightly, and the heartache was not so spicy, she opened her eyes, stretched out her arms and knocked twice on the window railing:
"Come out and speak."
The cold voice echoed in the empty cabin, and the aftermath was lingering, inexplicably with some majesty, which made people dare not refuse.
In the corner of the cabin, an overturned table of eight immortals suddenly moved, and then a head cautiously poked out.
"Tell your master to come out, I'm busy."
Wei Shu didn't even look at the person who showed his head, and his voice was still very weak.
Ali stood stiffly behind the table, half of his body covered in blood, which was quite terrifying, and his eyes were very evasive, not daring to look at Wei Shu, only using a very awkward posture to stretch his neck to look out the window.
The wind and rain were blowing, the dark river was churning endlessly, the boat was jolting badly, and Ali's face was pale and his body was shaky.
Suddenly, a low sigh sounded, and then a figure appeared from behind the square table, leaning against the wall and walking slowly.
Wei Shu raised her eyes and looked at it, her eyes suddenly opened slightly, and the expression on her face instantly froze.
This is...... Good?!
Listening to his voice and feeling his anger, the person who came was indeed Major General Gude, but what appeared in front of Wei Shu's eyes at this time was a middle-aged man with a full beard, with an ugly and vicious appearance, and two staggered scars on his face.
Gude is disfigured? And the scars on this face......
Isn't this the leader of the guards under Brush?
Wei Shu was surprised.
She had seen this man twice in Youmarshuai's Mansion and Yedu, and she was still impressed by the scars on his face. If you just look at the face, the person who came and Wei Shu looked exactly the same as in her memory, but the body shape was slightly different.
What's even more shocking is that this person is actually wearing a priestess's colorful dress, a wig, and two braids hanging down on his chest, which is simply ...... Treacherous.
Outrageously treacherous.
Why did Goode disguise himself as the leader of Blusch's guards? And she also pretended to be a woman?
Wei Shu looked him up and down, and soon noticed that Gude's left leg seemed to be inconvenient, and he only supported it with his right foot when he stood there, as if he was not lightly injured.
What really happened on board?
"Your Excellency should still recognize me, right?" Gude, who had a middle-aged man's face, spoke, his voice still in a gloomy tone familiar to Wei Shu, but it was a little more sarcastic than usual.
"Is this disguise technique, Your Excellency must be very familiar, so you don't need me to say more?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and lifted the wig on his head, revealing the wolf's head tattoo on his head.
Wei Shu was stunned, and immediately realized that this was actually the handiwork of the villa.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately felt that "it should be so" and "it should be so".
Such a delicate and almost chaotic disguise technique is rare when looking at the rivers and lakes, and only that mysterious mountain villa can easily do it.
"Why are you on the boat?" Wei Shu asked him rhetorically.
Compared to disguise and women's clothing, this is the most puzzling thing for her.
According to the agreement between Wei Shu and Good, Goode will find a way to keep Giller's on the ship, while Goode himself will hide back to the docks.
Gilles had a grudge against him for a long time, and he always had to pluck himself out before anything else.
"Someone made a deal with me."
Gude seemed to have been waiting for Wei Shu to ask this question for a long time, his face was full of mockery when he spoke, and his eyes were flickering, as if he was provoking, and as if he was hinting:
"Didn't you make the same deal with me? The people of your mountain village really love this way, and you have to make deals with people at every turn. In your hands, I have nothing to say. ”
It's actually a mountain villa again?
These people have really long hands, and they are doing things everywhere, everywhere.
However, even this does not explain why they want to disguise Gude as a close confidant of Blusch, is it......
"Why you?" Wei Shu looked at Gude and said word by word: "Why does it have to be you, the young general?" ”
What's so difficult about finding someone with a similar body type who can be disguised as Blusch's personal guard? Why does it have to be the Major General himself? Could it be that there is no one available and credible around Mang Tai other than this eldest son?
Also, does Mangtai know about this?
Hearing Wei Shu's question, Gude suddenly laughed "ha".
Even with a mask, there is an indescribable bitterness in his pen, and his laughter is short, and it stops at first:
"I don't know why, I thought you did. At first, I was at a loss as your Excellency, but now I understand a little, maybe there is...... People want me to die. ”
Speaking in a low tone, he looked up to the sky again and sighed: "I have to do it as a last resort." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Wei Shu deeply.
was first threatened by this woman, and then persecuted by Wang Kuang, and involuntarily came to this point, and there are more and more secrets on his back.
Knowing this, it was better to confess everything directly to his father at the beginning. What are flowers? What is the eldest lady? Even if you admit it directly, it is better to be a little neglected and suspicious afterwards than to be hanging by a thread right now.
Now, he is really difficult to ride a tiger.
Death is not what you want, but you can live, but you are confused.
"Is the eldest lady dead?" Wei Shu asked for the third time.
Since meeting Gude, she has asked three questions in a row, not a word about herself, but Gude has not felt strange, as if she has become accustomed to this. Hearing this at this time, he was stunned for a while before he turned back to his senses, and nodded lightly:
"Well, she's dead."
"Who killed it?" Wei Shu didn't believe that Gude would kill his mother seriously.
Sure enough, I saw the corner of Gude's lips hooked, stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky above his head, and spit out a word in his mouth:
"Him."
