Chapter 113 Gu King
Chapter 113 Gu King
After hearing Yin Shi’s report, Xie Changan was speechless.
He turned to Jiang Li and asked softly, "You've been sleeping for two days and two nights, are you hungry?"
As soon as he said that, Jiang Li immediately felt extremely hungry: "I want to eat roasted chicken and roasted rabbit!"
"You just woke up. Brother Shen said that you can't eat those greasy things."
Xie Changan called Yinjiu in again.
Yin Jiu opened the tent door and was very happy to see Jiang Li sitting on the bed. "Little Sixteen, are you awake?"
"Brother Yinjiu, I want to eat roasted rabbit and mutton hotpot!"
As soon as Jiang Li saw Yin Jiu, she looked at him eagerly.
"No. Yinjiu, go to the small kitchen over there and get a bowl of porridge." Xie Changan said.
Yin Jiu gave Jiang Li a look that said "I can't help you" and turned away.
Nangong Qinghe had already instructed his small kitchen to prepare delicious meals at any time.
Yin Jiu then went to bring a bowl of shredded chicken porridge and some snacks.
Jiang Li ate it reluctantly, and then asked: "Can we have mutton hotpot tomorrow morning?"
"How can you eat hotpot so early in the morning?"
"I've been sleeping for two days. I just want to eat..."
"Okay, let them do it for you tomorrow morning." Xie Changan agreed reluctantly.
Jiang Li then smiled happily.
When Nangong Qinghe heard that Jiang Li had woken up, he was overjoyed and came to visit her early the next morning.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Jiang Li was eating mutton hotpot. Upon hearing this, he quickly grabbed a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.
Xie Changan quickly picked up the mask and put it on her face.
He didn't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to see his little slave!
Yin Jiu on the side curled his lips.
"Sixteenth Miss, can I come in?" Nangong Qinghe asked softly while standing outside the tent.
Yin Jiu hurriedly went out to greet him, bowed and said, "Your Highness, please come in!"
Nangong Qinghe's heartbeat quickened as he stepped into the tent.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xie Changan and Jiang Li bowed deeply.
"No courtesy, stay on your own."
Nangong Qinghe looked at Jiang Li steadily, only to see that she had put on the mask again, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
When I looked up, I saw a mutton pot on the table!
He was stunned. Eating hot pot so early in the morning?
A'li's hobbies are always so different.
Nangong Qinghe couldn't help but smile.
"Sorry to bother Miss Sixteen while she's having dinner." Nangong Qinghe said with a smile, "I wonder if Miss Sixteen is feeling better now?"
"I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Jiang Li felt uncomfortable all over. Obviously everyone present knew the inside story, but she insisted, "I know you know, but I have to pretend that I don't know you know." It was so awkward and uncomfortable!
"Sixteenth Miss has made great contributions this time. I will definitely reward you handsomely when we return to the capital!"
Under Xie Changan's sharp gaze, Nangong Qinghe felt as if all the secrets in his heart were exposed. He felt so guilty and embarrassed that he could only say some dry and polite words.
"No need!" Jiang Li blurted out.
She quickly explained, "My skills are somewhat special and are not afraid of poisons. This is the secret of our sect. Your Highness, can you keep it a secret for me?"
"But, many imperial guards also witnessed it..."
"Just say we're wearing Ghost Doctor Valley's anti-poison pills!"
Nangong Qinghe smiled: "That's fine, but it will be unfair to Miss Sixteen."
"I don't feel wronged, I feel honored to be able to share your worries!" Jiang Li also replied dryly.
The atmosphere was really awkward, and Nangong Qinghe had to go back in disappointment.
Xie Changan said sourly: "Am I hindering your conversation with His Highness by being here?"
Jiang Li rolled her eyes at him. She was not yet satisfied with this jealous man and didn't want to pay any attention to him!
She sat down at the table and continued to eat.
"Speak up, could it be that I have said it right..."
Yinjiu simply couldn't bear to watch. Xiaoliu was pissed off, so didn't he have to coax her?
Why did Xie Touer lose his rationality when he met Xiao Shiliu?
Shen Muchun was still invited back by Nangong Qinghe, who asked him to examine Jiang Li carefully to see if there were any sequelae.
Jiang Li glared at him while he took her pulse.
Shen Muchun had no choice but to beg for mercy: "It's because Brother Chang'an was too nervous that I tried to wake you up earlier. Besides, you haven't eaten or drunk anything for two days, and it's not good for your health if you're hungry for too long."
Jiang Li then snorted and let him go for the time being.
Shen Muchun added: "This time we have killed one of the four great envoys of Miaojiang. The Gu King will definitely not let it go. We need to prepare early and strengthen our defenses."
Xie Changan asked: "What kind of person is the Miaojiang Gu King? Are there any rumors about him in the martial arts world?"
Shen Muchun said: "Everyone who has seen him is dead. So people in the martial arts world know very little about him. We only hear that his witchcraft is superb."
He turned to Jiang Li, his eyes sparkling, "Since Sixteenth Sister is immune to all poisons, is there any way to prevent the poisonous insect?"
Jiang Li thought about it, frowned and said: "With my current skills, I can only protect myself and Brother Changan."
Besides, her spiritual consciousness will also be exhausted!
Xie Changan said: "The only solution now is to ask friends in the martial arts world. It would be best if we can find the weakness of Miaojiang Gushu so that we can formulate a countermeasure."
He then summoned the secret guards and asked them to use their connections to gather intelligence about the Miao Jiang Gu King.
Dongchang and Miao Gu are now enemies fighting to the death, and a life-and-death battle will occur sooner or later!
Jiang Li pondered for a long time, and then quietly said to Xie Changan: "Brother Changan, I do have an idea, but I don't know if it is feasible or not?"
Xie Changan looked at her deeply and said, "If it requires you to take risks, then don't mention it."
Jiang Li felt sweet in her heart and smiled, "You don't have to take risks. You see, bee colonies have queen bees, ant colonies have queen ants, and the Miaojiang Gu King will also have a king of all Gu who can command all Gu insects?"
Xie Changan's eyes lit up: "You mean..."
Jiang Li said proudly: "If I can lure his King of All Gu here, I can replace the King of Gu and command the other Gu insects!"
Maybe I am the new Gu King!
Xie Changan thought about it, shook his head and said, "No, you are going to sign a contract with that bug, it's too dangerous!"
What if I can't suppress it? The poisonous insect is different from ordinary animals. I wonder if it will turn against its owner?
"Just let me try. If it really doesn't obey, I can strangle it with my spiritual sense!"
Jiang Li was eager to try it out, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.
Xie Changan embraced Jiang Li in his arms and whispered, "Little Li slave, I can't take this risk. If something happens to you, how can I live?"
Jiang Li was touched: "Brother Changan, don't worry, I will be fine."
Xie Changan hugged her tighter: "Promise me that you won't act rashly and think of me in everything, okay?"
"Okay." Jiang Li nodded obediently.
At this time, the capital city was bustling with people.
People entering the city lined up like a long dragon winding out of the city gate.
On both sides of the city gate, soldiers from the Five Cities Army were wearing armor and holding spears, meticulously checking everyone entering the city.
A tall man wearing a veiled hat followed the crowd entering the city. After checking the pass, he walked into the city gate leisurely.
He lifted his veil, revealing his extremely beautiful eyes and brows, and looked at everything in front of him with great interest.
I haven't been to Beijing for a long time. I didn't expect there are so many interesting people here.
