Chapter 573: Situation, Purpose, Relic

"Where are Furong and Sun Yilin, have you dealt with it?" Jingwan asked.

Li Hongyuan glanced at Jingwan, but the reaction was not the same as before, just flat. "No, it's closed."

Closed, I am afraid that it will not be closed purely, not dead, at least several layers of skin have been shed.

"Sun Yilin has a problem, and Furong has a problem too."

"Isn't that obvious?"

"A Yuan, you understand what I mean, don't try to fool around." Jing Wan looked at him lightly.

Being so rational and calm, Li Hongyuan felt that he was a little suspicious of Jingwan, who was always relying on him to control him. However, her daughter-in-law is so attractive now that she wants to rub her into her bones and blood. "They'll leave it to you, okay?" Li Hongyuan compromised, and gave Jingwan a savage sip on Jingwan's mouth.

There was no reaction on Jingwan's face, but her heart was completely soft. She knew how possessive this man was, and also knew that he was not so calm now, but because it was her, he was willing to control and he could accept it. With all the negative emotions, his real thoughts might be that he wanted to tear those two people, especially Sun Yilin, into pieces.

Jingwan stretched her arms around his neck, buried her face on the side of his neck, and said nothing.

At this moment, silence is better than sound, Li Hongyuan laughed silently, gentle but cruel.

Jingwan walked out of the door, ready to move her muscles and bones a little, and then, keenly smelled a different smell in the air, Jingwan's sense of smell was much sharper than ordinary people, not to mention now, I am afraid that ordinary people Can smell a little strange.

When I entered this mountain pass yesterday, my own people were only a few. Now, it seems that only my own people are left. Although I had expected such a situation, are those people dead? Jing Wan frowned slightly, that was a real enemy, and there would definitely be no mercy. "All killed?"

"Well." Li Hongyuan replied, but he didn't hide it.

"So, when do we leave? It's not too long to come out. Grandma and the others should be worried."

"Maybe we'll have to wait a little longer." Now he can't leave if he wants to.

"Is it because there are many enemies outside?" Jingwan guessed.

"This place is near a mountain range on the western border of Qiyuan. Further west, there is a small country called Zhang. When the former dynasty ruled this territory, the country of Zhang was still the territory of the former dynasty. A local official took advantage of the situation, ceded the land as king, established Zhang Guo, Qiyuan was established at the beginning, the country was not stable, and the mountain range on the side was a natural barrier, Zhang Guo was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Qi Yuan let Zhang Guo go. The existence of Zhang Guo, and later, Zhang Guo voluntarily made a tribute to Qi Yuan, so they have been peaceful for a hundred years, but now, things have changed..." Li Hongyuan gave the answer in another way.

"Zhang Guo betrayed Qi Yuan and fell to Nan Qi?"

"Yes, although there is a mountain range on the edge, but in the early years, a road was opened up to link with Qiyuan to form an official road. Zhang Guo paid tribute every year, and he took this road. It was difficult for the army to march, but If it’s just a few hundred people, it’s totally fine, our current location is only a dozen miles away from that official road.”

It is not a military fortress, and the number of people guarding it is quite limited. Moreover, it is the border between the two countries. There is a certain amount of trade. There are always some people who come and go. It's not difficult either.

Jingwan said that it is impossible to choose such a place for no reason.

"Wanwan, there may be some obstacles in the future, probably not just swords and swords, don't be afraid, we will definitely return to Beijing safely."

Jingwan chuckled lightly, "Why should you be afraid? Don't worry, even if I'm a drag, I'll drag it out with peace of mind. I'll stay where it's safest, and I won't run around, and I won't be brave."

"That's how it should be." Li Hongyuan kissed her, "Also, you are not a burden, you are a treasure worth protecting with everything."

Whether it is worth protecting her with everything, she doesn't know, but, she knows, he will do that. In addition, even if he doesn't show it, in essence, she can feel it. It seems that because of the previous things, someone seems Insecure, she dared to guarantee that even when she was sleeping, he didn't leave her for half a step, hugged when she was asleep, and watched when she was awake. In this relationship, he was passive. In fact, he is as strong as he is, and there are times when he has to worry about gains and losses.

Jingwan touched the corner of his lips, "A Yuan, you can do whatever you want, really, you don't have to endure so hard." Once, she told him that if it's not necessary, try not to kill karma, but Now, she doesn't want to say this anymore. He should have lived a free and unrestrained life. He can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't need to feel wronged. They have come to this point, and they can't accept anything from each other, no matter whether he is No matter what, even if she is really sick or perverted, she accepts it all, and accompanies him regardless of karma.

Hearing this, Li Hongyuan's eyes flickered with fierce light, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. It was really undisguised evil. He held Jingwan's hand and kissed the tip of her finger. He didn't say anything, but , which is enough to express his happiness. As for what to do next, that's another story.

Jing Wan looked at it, and the thought of "Ah, someone is going to be unlucky" suddenly flashed in her heart. The thought just flashed, and no trace was left. No matter who the unlucky person is, no matter whether they live or die, they can't Arouse her emotions again.

Jingwan still had her, Gong Jiu prescribed her a contraceptive pill, although the conditions are limited, but, after all, here is the backing, there is no ready-made medicine, you can still find a way, every time before the medicine and after the medicine, check the pulse, others It's three times a day, she's doing three times a day now

The pulse is far more than that. Li Hongyuan also changed the medicine frequently. This kind of wound medicine is ready-made. When he left the White Dragon Temple, after all, the road ahead was dangerous, and the most dangerous one was probably the wound medicine. In addition, Gong Jiu returned it to him. Acupuncture to promote faster wound healing.

In the current situation, a healthy body is naturally far better than a wounded body. After all, his force value is there. If he cannot move due to injury, it will not only waste a battle force.

However, if it is hurt, it cannot be healed in a day.

Does Jingwan regret her stab? Still no, I will feel distressed and worried, but I have no regrets.

Li Hongyuan didn't avoid her about the situation outside. She was listening when the people below reported to him.

The matter is more serious than expected, and I also know that since Qiyuan's Prince Jin knew that Zhang Guo was linked with Nan Qi, it is imperative to get rid of Li Hongyuan for his own safety. After all, Nan Qi has nothing to do with Qiyuan. What kind of ambition, what kind of plan, until it succeeds, it's all empty talk, and no matter how bad Qiyuan is, if he is determined to clean up Zhang Guo, the betrayer, Zhang Guo has no power to resist. Before Qiyuan’s annexation—at least the large territory bordering Zhang Guo and Nan Qi became the possession of Nan Qi, Zhang Guo would not express his vassal to Nan Qi on the bright side. It's one thing to communicate behind the scenes, it's another thing to betray you on the surface.

Cleaning up Li Hongyuan was originally the plan of Nanqi. Ruan Fangfei, the saintess of the Yi tribe, was the main executor. Among them, there were not a few people who cooperated with her. In short, because he knew that the Prince Jin of Qiyuan was capable of It is no trivial matter. Such a person, in his hands, is far more valuable than directly killing them. The probability of success is very high. Some people in Nanqi, because of unlocking the emotion, believe that after planting the emotion in Li Hongyuan, The overall situation is already under control. Zhang Guo's people take action, it is just to add a layer of protection, and I don't think it will be used at all, so it will be so thoroughly exposed in Li Hongyuan's eyes.

As a result, Ruan Fangfei died!

It must be said that the Gu in Ruan Fangfei’s body is not one kind or two kinds. When she died, some people in Nan Qi, thousands of miles away, already knew about it, and so did the people in Zhang Guo who were hidden in the mountains and forests.

There is nothing to say, people with great ability, since they can't be used by them, they can only be completely eradicated.

If one person can't kill him, only ten, and if ten can't kill him, only one hundred. In short, he can't be allowed to leave alive.

Jingwan looked at the direction of the exit of the mountain. Although it was not the only way out of here, if they retreated into the mountain, it would probably be even more disadvantageous, and she herself was the biggest trouble. Looking down at his stomach, sure enough, it was right to wait for everything to settle down before having a child. However, this child really has a special meaning, and Jingwan is full of expectations for it, in various senses.

The people outside insisted that they would not enter the mountain, so they did not attack with all their strength at the beginning. They just wanted to fight the war of attrition because of the large number of people. However, they did not know that Li Hongyuan brought out basically all of them. It is the dark guard, the dark guard, that is the least afraid of the war of attrition. They have experienced various aspects of training such as endurance and hunger. When the opponent will no longer have more manpower, at the end, it is uncertain who will win.

It's just that when the other party finds out about this, the tranquility on this surface should be broken soon.

From the death of Ruan Fangfei to the present, almost 18 hours ago, the other party should have figured out some things. Even if they want to continue to delay, the other party will not wait any longer. After all, it is Qiyuan's territory. There are Qiyuan's troops stationed more than ten miles away. Even if the number is small, it will exceed the people who came from Zhang Guo. Once they are disturbed, the identities of hunters and prey will be reversed. This night , I guess, is a hard fight.

The sky was already dark, and the lights were lit in the house, only a small one, which could illuminate every square inch.

Jingwan leaned on Li Hongyuan and didn't speak. At this time, she didn't need to say anything.

Gong Jiu checked Jing Wan's pulse again. In fact, Jing Wan felt it was superfluous. How many times this day has come, she has not been doing well. What else could go wrong? , Seeing that he was asked once an hour, he would not perfunctory things, forget it, just check the pulse.

However, this time, Gong Jiu's pulse seemed to be extraordinarily long. Jingwan returned from wandering around for a while, but it wasn't over yet, and she couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart. Could something go wrong?

Li Hongyuan's brows also wrinkled, and when Gong Jiu stopped, "What?"

"Go back to the lord, the princess' body is no different from before, but today, I got the pulse again, and my subordinates realized a problem, the princess was caught in the sleep Gu, this is a certain fact, Sun Yilin asked Fu Rong to relieve the princess' sleep Gu, Taking the princess away from the White Dragon Temple, it is reasonable to say that no matter what kind of Gu worms are drawn out of the body or die inside the host and disappear, the traces of the Gu worms in the host will remain for about three months. Judging from the situation, there is no trace of Gu worms in her body."

Jingwan sat upright, and Li Hongyuan also showed some seriousness on his face. "Go and bring Fu Rong here."

Originally, Jingwan was going to deal with Furong and Sun Yilin after returning to Beijing. How to do it will be discussed later, but now it seems that Furong's words have no other use. If it was said that she wanted to harm Jingwan, her performance was wrong at the beginning.

When Jingwan saw Furong, she was a little surprised. What should I say, she was much better than expected, and it seemed that her face was just a little worse, and it didn't look like she had been tortured.

"This servant has seen the prince and princess." Seeing that she was still Jingwan's maid, she never forgot

duty.

"Furong, what method did you use to solve the Sleep Gu for me? Besides, it was true that I had been subjugated to me before, didn't it?" Looking at Furong, he lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, "Furong, you Are you really not going to say anything?"

Fu Rong was silent for a moment, then raised her head slightly to look at Jing Wan. This has already been exceeded. Since she has completely learned the rules, it is the first time that she has "made such a mistake". Fu Rong briefly explained her origin. , and those griefs were all concealed, "...It was the Minister of Rites Su who kept the innocence of slaves and maids when he was the governor. He was not from Qiyuan, but from the former Wei Dynasty, and his status was not low. They clearly gave their slaves a tragic fate, but they still need slaves to serve them, so why? Even if slaves come from a humble background, they are still a human life, and some things will naturally be returned."

Well, Jingwan also understood what Furong meant, that is, those people dominated her destiny, she was angry and unwilling, and wanted to take revenge. However, she was just a weak woman, or she was a scumbag, and there was no such thing. Ability, so he borrowed strength, and the object of this borrowing was of course Prince Jin.

Therefore, she docilely accepted the tasks given to her by those people, and gave Jingwan a trick. In essence, it was not to hurt Jingwan, but to anger Li Hongyuan. She believed that Li Hongyuan would eventually find out about the former Wei. , Qian Wei will pay a price to some extent. The price paid by a country, no matter how small, is far more than her own hatred. Although it may still not be the real culprit, it can at least give some comfort.

Not to mention Jingwan, even Li Hongyuan looked at Furong with a slight change in his eyes.

I really didn't see it, Fu Rong had such a temperament, her inner toughness was never smoothed out, she didn't accept her fate, she seemed docile and harmless, but once she exceeded the limit she could endure, she would secretly Showing off her sharp claws, relying on her intelligence and ingenuity, she made the layout bit by bit, but in fact, until now, Fu Rong wanted to use Li Hongyuan's power to clean up Qian Wei, and the goal has been achieved, even if she didn't do anything, Li Hongyuan will still not let the former Wei go. However, the nature of what she did and what she didn't do were different, not to mention, she stepped on Li Hongyuan's weakness accurately and ruthlessly.

Li Hongyuan chuckled, a woman like Furong had a lot of existence, he had never paid attention to it, but now he was used ruthlessly once, this experience is fresh enough.

Jingwan glanced at him, and she could read the danger from it, no matter how he was in front of her, but he had absolute pride. In his eyes, Furong was just like an ant, being put together by an ant. Strange.

Only now, that's not the point.

"Furong, what's going on with Sleep Gu and Substitute Gu?"

"Returning to the princess, this matter has to start with the true identity of the slave's mother. They all think that the slave's mother is an ordinary woman. This is true, but it is not entirely correct. The slave's mother is actually from Nanqi, and the Yi people . . . "

Having said this, Jing Wan didn't know what expression to make.

"When I was young, my father was absent all the year round, and I was with my mother almost every day. At that time, she said a lot of things to the slaves and servants, and said it over and over again. Maybe she didn't understand, but, over and over again, I can't remember it. It's difficult. About her life experience, there is less talk about her. I vaguely remember that she seems to be the daughter of the patriarch of the Baiyi clan. In addition, she has a high talent for raising gu, and she is an inherent saint. However, I don't know what happened later. However, she left her hometown and was in a situation where life and death were controlled like the former Wei Dynasty. She never raised Gu again. I don't know if she couldn't raise her anymore, or there was some reason why she stopped raising her when she died. Gu, she told the slaves all about it, but she only told the symptoms after being hit by the gu and how to get rid of the gu. As for how to raise the gu, she did not mention a word. When she was 'on her deathbed', she gave the slaves one. A bead, a bead that can detoxify hundreds of poisons and turn hundreds of Gus, is said to be a sacred artifact that has been passed down by the Yi people for thousands of years. Because of it, the sleeping Gu and the substitute Gu in the princess' body were transformed, and because of it, when she was in the palace. , the slaves can get those medicines from the Gongfu hospital."

"Hand over the beads, this king can spare you from dying."

Furong was silent, her eyes lowered, and she passed the Buddha beads on Jingwan Jingwan's wrist.

Li Hongyuan sneered, "Don't pay? When you die, this king can always find it and take it with you."

"Wait," Jingwan followed Li Hongyuan's hand, she remembered that Furong had said something meaningful to her before, but now she recalled, "Furong, is that bead on me, from you to me? After you got rid of Gu, have you never taken it back?"

"The kindness of the concubine cannot be repaid, and it is useless for people like slaves to hold it." Fu Rong admitted in disguise.

"But, where did you put it? I don't even have a purse on me now." It's been so long, there's one more thing on my body, it's impossible to be completely unaware. She bowed her head slightly because of doubt, and then her eyes suddenly settled on the Buddha beads, which were the only beads on her body. The question is, is it possible? Jing Wan stretched out her hand and fiddled with each one.

"That bead is rather peculiar. It can change its appearance within a certain range. As long as it is about the same size, it will become the appearance of the nearest bead."

So, in her string of beads, a different kind has actually been mixed in? Jingwan's expression is a little sullen, this is, insects can defy the sky, and beads become essence?

The role of the worms can barely be considered to be that there are human nerves, hormones or other things in the worms.

What about this bead, is there something similar to a chameleon in it? But the chameleon is alive, alive.

Even if its own existence is unscientific, Jingwan still needs a certain amount of time to accept the unscientific things.

Li Hongyuan held Jing Wan's wrist, and his acceptance was much higher than that of Jing Wan. Such a good thing would be given to Jing Wan by all means. Now that it is on Jing Wan, it would be even more rude. However, to Jing Wan Of course, it is necessary to ensure absolute safety. Therefore, Li Hongyuan directly took off the beads and handed them to Gong Jiu.

Without Li Hongyuan's explanation, Gong Jiu also knew his intentions.

Gong Jiu had a lot of poison on her body, and Ruan Fangfei lived in the house where she could find quite a few Gus. It was easy to verify the effect. As for the safety, Jingwan had been carrying it with her all the time during this time. There is an exception, which is already a good proof. If it is harmful, even if it is extremely small, there will be signs of it for so long. And if it takes a few years for the harm to appear, then Li Hongyuan probably won't wait that long. No matter how suspicious he is, he has not reached this point. It is not suitable for not wearing it, which may cause the treasure to be dusty.

The result of the verification is quite obvious. When those Gu insects touched the Buddha beads, they turned into flying smoke in an instant and disappeared without a trace, and let the rabbit carry the Buddha beads, and Gong Jiu sprinkled it with various poisons. Or pouring it directly, it is more than enough to poison hundreds of thousands of people, but the rabbits are still alive and kicking.

What I heard, and what I didn't see, was shocking. This bead is really a good thing.

"Do you know the scope of this bead?" Li Hongyuan asked Furong.

"My lord atonement, slaves don't know." She got something from her mother, and she never had a chance to verify it. Maybe there was, such as poison or something. After all, she probably got in the way of other sisters, but, It was solved ignorantly, and she had no way of knowing.

"My lord, my subordinates know a little bit at the moment." Gong Jiu said.

Li Hongyuan was accustomed to him having some memories popping up from time to time recently.

"Placing the sacred artifact of the Yi clan does have such an effect. For Gu worms, direct contact is just what I have seen. If you don't touch it, it will take some time, at most three days. Wearing the sacred artifact, the Gu worm is basically not close. In the event of an accident, it will not affect the host. Like any poison, the maximum effective range is ten feet."

As the absolute nemesis of Gu insects, it is really strange enough to be regarded as a sacred object.
