Forgotten by Death

Luo Yi's illness became more and more serious, and even the witch doctor was helpless.

After drinking the medicine prescribed by the witch doctor, Yun Xi's condition improved a lot. Seeing Luo Yi wailing in pain all night, she stayed in front of the bed night after night, worrying and worrying.

Luo Yi's tortured face was completely lost, withered and emaciated, tears streaming down one after another: "Prince, I might die, I can't bear you..."

Yun Xi held his hand, feeling very distressed: "Don't say stupid things, I will definitely cure you."

After the witch doctor came to see him for the last time, he sighed heavily: "Time is running out, if you don't find out the person who made the Gu, this young master may not survive for two days." How can I find it?"

The witch doctor pondered for a moment: "It's actually very simple. The person who poisoned himself will not be poisoned. If the eldest prince wants to be quick, he will find out all those who have not been poisoned by the poison, and interrogate them one by one."

Shen Ji suddenly realized: "Yes, the man himself will be fine, and the order will be sent down to bring all the people who have not been poisoned, and the general will interrogate them one by one himself!"

The deputy general said: "But if they are all arrested, I'm afraid there will be too much movement, and it will inevitably cause panic again."

Shen Ji: "My lord genius doctor, is there no better way to identify it?"

"It's not difficult at all," said the witch doctor, taking out a small box from his pocket, and opening the lid, an ugly red bug poked its head out.

"This is the Gu insect I caught from those dead people. When they smell people, they will crawl out and try to get into the human body, but if the person has a Gu king on him, the insect will not dare to move, and may die."

"This method is good!"

Shen Ji immediately summoned the lieutenant, took the bug carefully, and ordered him to find that person as soon as possible.

The people below took action quickly and searched everywhere in the city. With the help of Gu insects, the search work was much faster, and they searched all the people in the city overnight.

Everyone waited eagerly, but unfortunately the lieutenant general worked all night and did not bring good news.

"So it seems that this person is hiding in the barracks?"

Luo Yi secretly looked at An Mo, covered his face and coughed heavily, and said angrily, "Prince, I can't stand it anymore..."

Yun Xi hurriedly hugged him: "Check quickly! Don't miss any of them!"

Shen Ji immediately ordered a thorough investigation in the army, and suddenly the servants there came to report in a panic: "General! General Shen is awake! You can still eat, and it looks like you are recovering!"

"What?!" Shen Ji was excited, leaving everyone behind and ran to Shen Qing's tent.

The person who was told by the witch doctor that he was hopeless came back to life. Shen Ji cried with joy seeing his elder brother who was able to sit up and eat two bites of food soberly.

"Why is this? Why did the eldest brother recover suddenly?"

Shen Qing's body was still very weak, but that sense of powerlessness and heaviness had disappeared from his body.

"I don't know too well. When I woke up, I felt much refreshed. Before, I felt that the whole room was under the weight of boulders, and I couldn't breathe. I thought I was going to die. I didn't expect to feel better all of a sudden."

The witch doctor squinted his cloudy eyes and looked around, but he didn't see any decorations to exorcise the Gu, which is strange, the poison was severe, and only he had the antidote in his hand. Mixed in with others?

who is it?

He stepped forward and asked carefully: "Has anyone entered or left General Shen's tent recently?"

Shen Ji: "Miraculous Doctor, what do you mean?"

"Brother Ling's illness is a bit strange, I want to know which expert saved him." "Is that so," Shen Ji called the guards outside and asked carefully.

In addition to the servants who came to deliver soup and meals every day, the guards suddenly remembered An Mo who broke in two days ago.

"An's been here too?" Shen Ji knew that his elder brother had a good relationship with An, so it was not surprising that he came to visit.

Shen Qing said in a daze: "I also remember seeing An, who came to visit me..."

The witch doctor's expression changed slightly after hearing An's name, and he kept it in his heart, and then he went back after a few rounds.

Early the next morning, the barracks began to review.Due to the strict precautions in the early stage, the number of people infected in the military camp was better than outside, and a group of people including Shen Ji were considered safe.

Since there was an investigation to be done this time, Shen Ji naturally took the lead and went to Gu worms to confirm his innocence.

Gu worms have no eyes, only a three-lobed mouth with sharp teeth can be seen on the red head, as soon as the box is opened, it sticks out its head following the smell, trying to crawl towards Shen Ji.

The witch doctor closed the box quickly, indicating that Shen Ji was fine and replaced him.

From the soldiers to the generals, it took almost a whole morning to check them all, and finally only the slaves were left.

The witch doctor saw that An Mo was always standing beside Yun Xi and had not been singled out for trial, so he couldn't help looking at Luo Yi.

Luo Yi frowned, and cried out in pain again, dripping cold sweat, and fell into Yun Xi's arms, sobbing softly.

Yun Xi saw that he was almost unable to hold on anymore, and said anxiously: "Is there any more? There are still a few that have not been tried, Luo Yi can't hold on any longer!"

The lieutenant bowed and reported: "Back to the First Prince, except for the attendants around you, everyone else has been interrogated."

"Beside me?" Yun Xi hurriedly waved: "Then what are you waiting for, check it out!"

The lieutenant general and the witch doctor looked at each other, and they were about to go up to grab An Mo, but Yun Xi's face changed and blocked his outstretched hand.

"He doesn't have to, he can't be."

"This……"

Luo Yi was surprised and angry when he saw this, he didn't expect that he had trusted An so far.

The witch doctor gave a not-so-sneering smile: "Even General Shen himself stood up to set an example and was censored, let alone a servant, the eldest prince should not take it lightly."

Yun Xi didn't like his tone, and said forcefully: "I said he is not, then he is definitely not, hurry up and check others, don't waste time!"

The witch doctor chuckled: "Actually, it's not a waste of time, just try the Gu insect's reaction to him and you will know, are you right?"

Speaking of which, the witch doctor opened the box and walked towards An Mo. An Mo frowned slightly and stood still, letting the witch doctor walk in front of him with the Gu worm.

The worm in the box just poked its head out, then shrank back, and didn’t see it for a long time. The witch doctor shook it strangely, and everyone’s eyes followed. The witch doctor turned the box down with his backhand, and the worm fell to the ground. It has turned into a shriveled gray-black mass, dead! "Oh my god! The bug is dead!"

"Gu King? He is the Gu King—"

The generals who had gathered around to check immediately dispersed in horror, looking at An Mo in fear, as if they were looking at a devil.

The witch doctor immediately stared at An Mo like a cold poisonous snake, and let out a hoarse throaty voice from his throat: "It's him! He is the mastermind behind this disaster! He is a voodoo!"

"Impossible!" Yun Xi pulled An Mo to his side: "He is just a lowly slave I sold back in the slave market. He doesn't understand anything. He has never even been out of my imperial residence. How could he have a background in Northern Xinjiang? Gu poison!"

"Eldest Prince, it's the easiest place to sneak into a place like slave city where there are mixed fish and dragons. I'm afraid the person next to you has planned it for a long time!"

"Ridiculous, what kind of conspiracy can he have, what good will it do him!"

Although the facts are in front of him, Yun Xi doesn't believe a single word. He has nothing to say about others, and it's a joke to say that An is the mastermind behind the scenes. Is there anyone who knows better than himself what kind of person he is?

"Eldest Prince, the facts are already very clear. He was not infected with the Gu poison, and the Gu insect was already dead when he saw him. With so many of us watching, how can we wrong him? Besides, I heard that he I also went to the tent of General Shen Da, and after he came out, General Shen recovered from his illness, so I wonder who else can detoxify the poison besides the Gu poisoner, can this also be a coincidence?"

"..." Yun Xi suddenly turned her head to look at An Mo: "Did you go to Shen Qing's place?"

"……Yes."

Yun Xi stared at him in shock, apart from anger, there was also a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

"As for the so-called benefits of the eldest prince, I'm afraid only he knows it in his heart, maybe he wants to take this opportunity to clear away all the obstacles in his way!"

"What's in the way?"

The witch doctor looked at Luo Yi with ulterior motives: "He is in the prince's mansion, what he seeks is nothing more than the prince's appreciation, or is it... the only favor?"

Hearing this, Luo Yi immediately clutched his chest and began to groan, coughing violently and bending over to cough up a puddle of blood: "Yun Xi... the eldest prince... save me, please save me..."

Yun Xi was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, looking at the bloody heart on the ground.

Shen Ji frowned: "Prince, if you are worried, you can ask the genius doctor to try a few more times. Now the lives of the entire border people are at stake. If he is really a poisoner, he needs to make a decision as soon as possible to save thousands of people." The lives of thousands of people are what matter!"

The witch doctor seemed to have come prepared. Hearing this, he immediately took out four or five identical boxes from his body and opened them all to find the red worm. To prove that these worms were the same as the one just now, he also found a few innocent The person demonstrated it to prove that the bug is not fake.

Then the terrible scene happened again. After seeing An Mo, these bugs shrank back into the box, and within a few seconds, they all shriveled up and died!Facts speak louder than words, and now even Yun Xi is speechless.

The deputy general ordered people to surround An Mo with knives. Everyone was on high alert, for fear that An Mo's witchcraft would come over and make them covered with poisonous insects.

Yun Xi stared at him deeply for a long time: "Are you?"

An Mo remained calm from beginning to end: "What do you think?" Yun Xi turned a deaf ear and continued to ask: "What did you do at Shen Qing's place?"

An Mo: "...to visit him."

"Why did he suddenly recover?"

An Mo pursed her lips, just a moment of hesitation made Yun Xi's heart sink, he knew An's nature too well, he could detect just a subtle change in his eyes, An just hesitated!So Shen Qing's recovery is really related to him? !

"What the hell did you do?"

Looking into his eyes, An Mo has regained her composure: "I didn't do anything."

"Elder Prince! Take him down for interrogation, you won't be able to find out if you do this."

"That's right, First Prince, he won't tell the truth without strict torture, so leave it to us."

Everyone has been busy all day and night, and now they have finally found the culprit, and it is still a big devil who has tens of thousands of lives at stake, so naturally they will not let it go easily.

The tip of the knife tentatively got closer and closer, wishing to pierce that body immediately, smashing the flesh and blood, in order to pay for the pain of losing relatives and friends for many days.

With one stabbing, this terrible plague will be over, and all the fears and fears of the past few days will be over!If it wasn't for the eldest prince still standing in the middle, how could they still conduct any interrogation, just hacked to death!

Just a slave, so what if he was wronged?It's nothing more than finding another one, they can't figure out why the eldest prince wants to protect a slave like this!

Luo Yi suddenly threw herself into Yun Xi's arms and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, struggling to ask for help: "Help me, I don't want to die, I don't want to leave you, eldest prince—"

The witch doctor hurriedly stepped forward to check it, and said seriously after reading it: "Prince, this young master won't survive tomorrow, if you don't make up your mind tonight, he won't be able to save him!"

"This……"

Yun Xi hugged Luo Yi, turned her head and looked at An Mo, but An Mo didn't look at him, she looked down at the point of the knife in front of her in a daze.

Seeing the stalemate, Shen Ji stood up and said, "Prince, this matter will eventually come to an end. Please put the people at the frontier as the most important thing, and ask the minister to take him into the dungeon for interrogation first!"

Seeing that Yun Xi still didn't say anything, Luo Yi hugged him with tears in his eyes: "Prince, I really can't take it anymore, I'm in so much pain!"

More people participated in the persuasion, and Yun Xi was forced to help: "Okay, let's detain him first, no torture!"

"Yes!"

An Mo was taken away, and Yun Xi didn't even come to look at him again, when Luo Yi cried and hugged her and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood...
