"What's wrong?"

Wei Yao was leading the way in front of him, and he couldn't hear Zheng Quqi coming up, so he turned around and saw her stopped in front of a cell and meditated.

Zheng Quqi pointed to the person inside: "This person, I seem to have seen it somewhere?"

"Have you seen it?" Wei Yao looked into her eyes, thought about it together, and said, "He is an assassin, he was brought back by the general from the Wujue Temple in Yongfeng Mountain in the Julu Kingdom.

After he said this, Zheng Quqi suddenly remembered something, and she sighed: "I remembered, it turned out to be him."

"Madame knows this Assassin?" Now it's Wei Yao's turn to be curious.

Know?

Less.

It was only when she shouted Yu Wensheng in the bamboo forest of the Wujue Temple that this assassin was able to survive to this day.

She shook her head, "I don't know, but you brought someone back, you can't keep him here forever, right?"

Wei Yao glanced at the assassin: "This assassin's origin is not simple, he should be a person from the nine autonomous regions of the Beiyuan Kingdom, it is too troublesome to kill us, and it is impossible to let it go, so we can only be locked up like this first."

Nine autonomy?

Why does the name sound so weird, is it a place name or the name of an organization?

Her curiosity was not strong enough to continue the conversation, and she stepped forward, "Then let's go."

They walked through a passage of light and dark, and then they came to the place where the bandits were being held, and basically these cells were held by seven or eight people in one room, although not crowded, but definitely not rich, and as she walked through the cell without squinting, she felt a word—like a man's back.

The look in the eyes of these bandits when they saw her again was vicious and resentful.

But Zheng Quqi didn't make any eye contact with them, she didn't see anything, and then she saw Xiao San and Xiao Qi being locked up alone in a cell.

Now the two little ones seemed to be asleep, curled up in a ball on the straw, and the two brothers snuggled together to keep each other warm.

However, everyone else is held together, so why are they the only ones alone?

Wei Yao saw the confusion in her eyes and replied, "Seeing that Madame seems to treat them differently, she separated the two of them from the others."

Zheng Quqi did not refute Wei Yao's temptation, she bowed her head: "Well, what about Xing'an?"

"He was arraigned in solitary interrogation last night, and he was still in the torture room."

As soon as Zheng Quqi approached the torture room, she keenly smelled a faint smell of blood, and she walked through the aisle full of various cold torture instruments, and sure enough, she saw a slender pitch-black figure being hung up.

"Hung Yen?"

As she approached, Wei Yao took the oil cup from the nearby niche to illuminate it.

He raised his slightly sticky and moist eyelids, saw that it was her, and stared at her for a moment before he said in a dumb voice, "Zheng Quqi."

Coldly called his full name, Zheng Quqi couldn't help but shudder. It's all cold under the ground.

"It seems that people are not confused, and remember my name."...

He laughed without emotion, "I'll never forget your name."

Why does this sound like a resentful spirit?

She didn't talk to him anymore, and said directly: "I came here this time, just to ask you something, if you are willing to answer honestly, I will let them stop torturing you, and will treat your injuries."

She felt that her conditions were good enough, with a death row prisoner like him, who would waste medicine to heal his wounds? How many people were tortured to death in a harsh environment, their wounds rotted and festered, and they were tortured to death.

Xing'an really didn't refuse: "Okay, what do you want to ask?"

She asked Wei Yao to give her the lamp, and then gave each other a look, Wei Yao understood that Mrs. wanted to talk alone with Xing'an for a while, so she stepped away and walked away, leaving them enough space and time.

Zheng Quqi saw Xing'an drooping down

's lazy eyebrows eased unconsciously, and she asked, "Xing'an, I've always felt strange since I came back, your martial arts should be very high, I don't know how high it is, but why don't you seem to have resisted from beginning to end?" Do you know you're cornered and willing to be caught, or are you actually planning something?"

Her hijacking is actually a kind of delaying policy, she had thought that she would be caught by Xing'an, and she didn't think that she could let him be coerced by her all the time, but things went unexpectedly well, and he didn't have any special mood swings until he was caught.

This is obviously not normal.

When he heard this, he bluntly bowed his head, "Yes, I am indeed planning something."

Really.

Zheng Qu's eyes were clear: "What's the matter?"

She asked smoothly, and he replied even more sharply, "Guess."

Zheng Quqi: "......"

Guess your sister.

"You said you only asked one question, and I've already answered it, haven't you?"

As for her second question, that's the second question, and it's not within the scope of their deal.

Zheng Quqi knew that he wouldn't tell her so easily, but at least she guessed correctly, this thing was actually plotting something.

"I'll only answer half of this matter, and I won't force you to answer the remaining half, but you have to answer me one more question." She said.

Xing'an pointed out her mind with a word: "Do you want to ask about Xiao San and Xiao Qi?"

This person's reaction power is really terrifying, Zheng Quqi feels that he may not be able to get him, if only Yu Wensheng is here, only others have been afraid of him, and he has never been afraid of anyone.

Since she couldn't hide it, she simply confessed to the end: "Yes."

Xing'an didn't beat around the bush in this matter, and directly told her what she wanted to know: "Xiao San and Xiao Qi are not road bandits, oh, maybe it should be said that the two of them are not the former queen's guards with knives, they are Gu people."

In this way, Xiao San and Xiao Qi are really not the same people as them, but what is a Gu person?

Zheng Quqi was shocked.

It's not that she understands what "Gu Ren" means, but she feels that this "Gu Ren" is unusual when she hears it, and there is definitely something shocking about it.

But if she asks again, he probably won't be kind enough to solve her puzzles again.

Seeing her face fall down all of a sudden, and the aggrieved look that she wanted to ask but couldn't ask, he seduced and said, "If you come back tomorrow, I will answer you another question, how about it?"

「……」

Damn, he was completely hung away.

"I don't have any more questions for you."

After Zheng Quqi finished speaking, he called Wei Yao, and the two returned the same way, on the way, she asked Wei Yao, "Brother Wei, have you heard of Gu people?"

"Gu people?" Wei Yao looked surprised.

"You know?" She was pleasantly surprised.

"It's not." Wei Yao shook his head, and then muttered, "It's just that I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while."

Isn't this just a piece of nonsense literature?

Zheng Quqi used his imagination to guess, "Could the Gu people be the ones who have been poisoned? I do know that some Gu raisers just take poisonous living creatures and put them together to bite each other, and the last one that lives is Gu."

"It turns out that this is Gu, Madame is really knowledgeable." Wei Yao praised.

Zheng Quqi said modestly, "Where, where."

If Xiao San and Xiao Qi are Gu people, then is it a bit too risky for her to release the two of them rashly? We'll have to wait until she understands what a Gu person is.

Otherwise, just ask the two of them?

But she was afraid that they wouldn't tell her easily.

Gu Ren may not be a big secret, the relationship between her and them has long been different, so she has to come again tomorrow?

Come on, who's afraid of whom.

times

On the day, Zheng Quqi came to the dungeon early, this time she didn't call Wei Yao, after all, Wei Yao was busier than her, and she didn't want to bother him with everything.

She called her four "extermination groups", and the five of them went to the dungeon together.

"You're here?"

Although Xing'an's eyes that had expected everything were a little unpleasant, Zheng Quqi had never cared much about face, and he wanted to suffer from face.

She is more particular about doing things with a clear purpose.

She opened her mouth and asked, "What is a Gu Man?"

"Before you talk about Gu people, do you know what Gu is? It's not something poisonous that you can just bite into and do casually."

「…… Are you justified in eavesdropping on others?"

Is this broken dungeon so soundproof?

"The first step in Gu making is to catch twelve kinds of Gu worms and come back, and the time to catch Gu is also particular, it's not that Duanyang can't raise Gu if he catches it back that day."

Zheng Quqi thought that he was not interested in this kind of creepy thing, but listening to him talk about it, he listened to it.

"When I caught the Gu worms and came back, I put them together in the jar and covered the lid. Usually Gu worms are poisonous snakes, eels, centipedes, toads, scorpions, nematodes, silver sickle mantises...... In short, they are all poisonous Gu worms. For a year, those Gu worms would devour each other in the vat, until one of the powerful poisonous insects ate the other eleven, forming something called Gu."

"At this time, the Gu has already been completed?"

"Naturally not, the Gu has been cultivated, but it is not yet a climate, at this time, the person who raises the Gu will dig out this tank, and put it in a secret room that does not have air and light to hide, the things that Gu likes to eat are scrambled eggs with lard, rice, etc., and after raising it for another three or four years, the young Gu will grow up, and it will become a climate, and it can be released."

After listening to him, Zheng Quqi knew that the original cycle of raising Gu was so long, and it was so troublesome.

After listening to the correct method of raising Gu, she still had to go back to her original question: "What about Gu people? Is there a way to raise Gu worms?"

However, like fishing, Xing'an asked, "Will you come back tomorrow?"

What do you mean? He put this talk on purpose, and it stopped abruptly at the climax, and another sentence to be continued?

She was reserved, "I'm very busy on weekdays."

"Then go and ask somebody, if they know." Xing'an said calmly.

Good guy, he is really the emperor's daughter and doesn't worry about getting married.

Zheng Quqi squeezed out a hard smile: "I'll come back tomorrow."

Day 3.

"What is a Gu Man?" As soon as she saw Xing'an, she asked straight to the point.

Xing'an sat against the wall, knowing that she was in a hurry, and she didn't go around in circles: "It's actually similar to raising Gu, Gu people are a group of poisonous people who have been poisoned since they were children, all of them are locked up and raised together, they have been fed poisonous juice since they were very young, until they grew up smoothly and did not poison the group of people, they will be locked up in a dark and damp place, not given them food and drink, and wait until a year later, and then open the door to release the Gu people who have devoured other poisonous people, but in the past, there was always only one Gu person, but this time, there were two, It's the brothers Xiao San and Xiao Qi."

No wonder they don't have names, only numbers, three and seven.

No food, no drink...... How did they survive in a year's time?

Zheng Quqi didn't dare to think deeply, because it was too cruel and disgusting.

"And they...... After becoming a Gu person, will there be any special changes in his body?" She asked.

"It's poisonous, right?"

The corners of Zheng Quqi's mouth twitched: "However, they don't look very poisonous, or do they actually hide their strength all along?"

"This question ......"

"I see, I'll answer tomorrow, right?" She didn't have a good airway.

Xing'an, but he smiled silently.

——

But on the fourth day, before Zheng Quqi could go to the dungeon to see Xing'an, he received a shock

The news - the road bandits have escaped from prison.

Just when the soldiers in their camp relaxed their vigilance, they, the road bandits who had their hands and feet tied, quietly opened the dungeon door and rushed out of the camp at night.

Moreover, they also took an unexpected person with them - the Assassin of the Nine Autonomy.

When Zheng Quqi heard the news, he was stunned for a long time.

But soon, she went straight to the case.

"It's finally done! I'm going to die!"

Wang Zebang and Wei Yao were both in the tent, and when they saw her excited, they couldn't help but smile and said, "Madam, you're too excited."

"We've spent so much time with them, just to know what this group of bandits want to do, and now we know, they really tried their best to sneak into our camp...... I just couldn't figure out why they had to save the assassin?"

"They won't be able to run far, and it will be clear when they are caught." Wei Yao said.

"That Xing'an thought that he was playing with me in the palm of his hand, but he didn't expect that I was just acting with him." The main thing is that she also prostituted a lot of knowledge from him.

"Madame is wise."

"Grab the man who gave them the wooden tools, and I'm curious to see who is behind them."

"Madame, don't worry, we have already laid out the situation, they are difficult to fly, and this time they also found out the people who King Ye planted in our camp." Wang Zebang said.

"Don't startle the snake yet, keep it, except it will be troublesome."

Anyway, if you make this thing carefully, it is the grass of spring, and after cutting one stubble after another, it is better to keep this stubble of "old grass" to bounce under your nose.

"Well, I'll transfer them to the horse camp, so that the news they hear will lag behind, and they won't know what they shouldn't know."
