Chapter 358 Not good, we were discovered!
The woman bowed her head in shame: "The subordinate is incompetent."
Ye Xiu still lowered his head and seemed to be looking at the shadow floating on the ground, and asked quietly: "Then how did you confirm that King Su came to Xianyang County?"
The woman didn't dare to hide anything, she said exactly:
"It's also a coincidence. After learning about King Yu's incident, the saint ordered me to get rid of Fan Jinzhong's future troubles, as well as the female slave named Hongyu. Hongyu's body was poisoned by the slave gu. Through the induction of the wave drum, we found The disguised King Su and his party."
The so-called Slave Gu is the Gu insect that fell on the female slaves such as Hongyu and Yunniang. As long as the specific wave drum is shaken, the Gu insect in the victim's body will be agitated, causing unbearable abdominal pain, and even the internal organs ruptured to death.
But there is also a distance limit, and it is only useful when you are one foot away from the person who has been infected by the Gu.
And they, the intelligence leaders of each region, rely on the wave drum to control these female slaves. Of course, this does not mean that they can do whatever they want, because their bodies are also planted with Gu, as long as the master wants to, he can easily kill them.
"We didn't find a chance to do it until they stopped in Xiangyang. We asked a little girl to kill Hongyu with a rattle.
But in this way, it means that we can no longer grasp the path of King Su and his party.
So we put Tracking Gu on one of the guards in King Su's team. "
Except for the master, none of them know how to breed Gu insects, and the few tracking Gu were also given by the master.
Since King Su and the others are highly skilled in martial arts, they naturally don't have the guts to get close.
"We followed them quietly, while sending a letter to the saint. When we arrived in Xianyang City, the saint sent someone to kill Fan Jinzhong, and then let someone pretend to be him. The purpose is to lure King Su to Qishan, where the killing has been set up."
Ming, who was squatting on a big tree, smacked her lips when she heard this, secretly thinking that the rich and powerful were playing tricks among themselves. She, the leader of a quack killer, would be ashamed of herself.
Looking at the interlocking links, Princess Su really guessed right, King Su will indeed encounter danger in this mission.
However, she is only responsible for getting money to do things, no matter how big the conspiracy is, she has nothing to do with it. She continued to listen with bated breath to the conversation in the room.
"Afterwards, Master Ye, you will bring Princess Xiyue to Xianyang County, and you will know the rest,
The Holy Maiden thinks that King Su is not so easy to fall for, so we must find a way to keep Concubine Su alive. The Holy Maiden said that as long as Concubine Su is captured, King Su will have nothing to fear.
Ke Su took away the guard who was under tracking Gu, so we couldn't be sure where Princess Su was. "
Yexiu murmured: "Concubine Su is a female class, if she is submissive, in order not to drag Su Wang down, she will just find a secluded place to hide. If she is bold and bold, she will go to Qishan with Su Wang.
There is another possibility, the most dangerous place is the safest place, Princess Su is probably hiding right under our noses. "
The woman couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, and asked: "What is there in Qin, why did King Su go to Qishan?"
People like them only need to obey orders, and it is impossible to know anything about her master and the prince's secret plans.
Ye Xiu finally turned his head, his eyes were cold and oppressive: "For the sake of your life, don't ask if you shouldn't."
The woman knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and fell to her knees with a plop in fright. "The subordinate knows his mistake, and he will not dare to do it again next time."
She knew how ruthless the Lord was when he was in Gaochang, but the other party was the most trusted confidant around the saint.
Yexiu looked back flatly: "Go to my guards to receive the punishment."
After speaking, he turned his head and continued to look out of the window unconsciously. When he lowered his eyes and casually glanced at a piece of moon shadow cast on the ground, he always felt that something was wrong. He looked up at the gentle breeze outside the window. Ask the guard standing outside the house: "Is it windy just now?"
The guard nodded because he didn't understand: "Yes! The wind is from the southwest, and the wind was slightly stronger just now."
When he was talking to the woman just now, although he was concentrating, he obviously remembered that the shadow of the tree reflected on the ground did not move, and when he turned his head after speaking, through the refraction of the moonlight, he happened to see a shadow flashing by. He just thought it was a passing bird.
The expression of the woman kneeling on the ground changed: "How is this possible..."
Yexiu pointed to a luxuriant tree on the oblique right outside the courtyard and said to the guard in a low voice: "Go and have a look."
Not long after, the guard came back, holding a piece of black cloth in his hand, and reported in a low voice: "Master, that tree did have traces of being climbed. We found this among the branches. It seems that when the other party left, It was accidentally scraped off by a branch."
Ye Xiu turned around and walked in front of the woman, and understood everything in an instant:
"We've been tricked. If I'm right, you've already fallen into a trap when you enter the Xianyang Governor's Mansion tonight."
The woman did not want to believe it: "Impossible, Yunniang is a slave girl. She has been planted with Gu, so she cannot betray her master..."
Ye Xiu lightly raised his hand to interrupt her, "It doesn't matter what happened, what matters is that you were followed, and the other party heard our conversation?
In less than half an hour, someone will bring someone over here and wipe us out. So we have to move quickly,
Fortunately, the other party has only seen you, so hurry back to Gaochang! "
The woman lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly. The master has never tolerated sand in his eyes. If she returns to Gaochang, it will be tantamount to a mission failure, and the only thing waiting for her is death.
Seeing the attendants rushing to pack their luggage, Princess Xiyue, who was sitting in the yard eating snacks, yelled dissatisfiedly:
"Hey! What are you crazy about? We have been driving so hard for so many days, and we can finally settle down. You also said that King Su is in Xianyang County, why are you leaving again?"
Yexiu didn't bother to talk to her, and only asked her maid to help pack her luggage.
Seeing that no one in the yard listened to her, Princess Xiyue stomped her feet angrily, and couldn't help but give the white-faced woman a hard look.
"It's all your fault, you underachieved slut!"
The woman didn't seem to hear anything, she tried to recall everything before and after.
When I was in the Sheriff's Mansion, apart from the Sheriff and the servants in the mansion, the only person who spoke was a concubine of the Sheriff's Mansion.
In the blink of an eye, she reacted abruptly. Perhaps that concubine Ji was pretended to be by Princess Su.
She gritted her teeth and hated secretly, but unfortunately it was too late now.
When she stepped out of the courtyard, she suddenly thought of the first time she saw the concubine of the sheriff's mansion at the inn a few days ago, and the phrase "a noble lady" she overheard,
In an instant, a light flashed across her already dead eyes.
…
In the inn, Gu Danxue knocked on the bedroom door and said softly, "The medicine is ready."
After a while, the door opened from the inside, and Xing Qi hurriedly dressed and walked out.
Seeing him like this, Gu Danxue couldn't help being speechless: "It's been said that it is inconvenient for you to take the medicine alone. We are all women. What are you afraid of?"
Xing Qi did not speak. He took the medicine bowl in her hand and drank it down. "Okay, take it easy now!"
Scanning the sky outside the courtyard, he said softly: "It's getting late, go back to your room and rest!"
Gu Danxue hummed: "You also go to bed earlier."
