Offer a tripod

Chapter 37 Thin Ice

When they arrived at the east of the city, the sky was already full of stars and the night was silent.Chu Yu temporarily bought a horse, and galloped towards the Prince's Mansion under the shadow of the lotus lantern above the water.When he was approaching, he saw the figure of Cao Ruyi standing with his sword in his arms. Chu Yu thought that he was sent by Yuan Jing to pick him up, jumped off his horse, threw the reins to him, and said, "Where is the prince?"

Cao Ruyi was still a little afraid of him, and said to him five meters away: "The prince has entered the palace, he asked me to wait here and tell you."

Chu Yu's footsteps stopped: "Enter the palace? Won't you come back at night?"

Cao Ruyi said: "Yes, the imperial decree came in the afternoon, and he didn't go until dusk, so he definitely won't come back." After a pause, he seemed unhappy: "The crown prince has been waiting for you for a day."

Chu Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth: "Is he unhappy?"

Cao Ruyi was bold for a rare time, met his gaze, and said sadly: "What do you think?" After being swept by his cold gaze, she fell silent in fright, and moved away a little.

It was almost curfew at this time, and it was impossible to leave the city and return to the camp now, Chu Yu thought about it, and turned back to the mansion.He didn't want to disturb others, so he went straight to the backyard after entering the door.At that time Fang Qing was in Chi Zhu's room, when he heard that the Patriarch had returned, they went out to meet him together.Fang Qing held a red light in his hand, which showed the anxiety of the two of them.Seeing that their expressions were wrong, Chu Yu asked, "What's the matter?" Seeing the Gu clock in Chi Zhu's hand, his face sank, and he walked back to the room indifferently, and when the wooden door was closed, he asked, "Is there an answer? Gu?"

Chi Zhu felt a little fuzzy in her heart, and smiled dryly: "Well, it's a Gu."

Seeing him hesitating, Chu Yu was very displeased: "If you have anything to say, can you ask me a sentence?"

Chi Zhu knew in her heart that hiding was impossible, so she just bit her bullet and said, "It's Jiuli's baby poison, it needs 99 babies to make it. Hundreds of pregnant women are raised, and when the fetus is seven months old, the offspring are taken by caesarean section." , this child can't be dead yet, it needs to be injected with poison while it is still alive, take a piece of heart and flesh, and feed it to the Gu worms for a hundred days. When it is cultivated, the Gu clothes are shaped like flowers, more Strange phosphorescence, the Gu worms are sleeping inside, and they cannot get close within dozens of steps.

People who have been poisoned by this kind of poison feel like falling into an ice cave when they attack, and the pain is unbearable, as if someone crushed their bones inch by inch, tearing off their flesh and blood, and it takes half a month of pain before they die.At the beginning of the prince's poisoning, he should have been helped by an expert to forcefully suppress his toxicity, so that he can live until now. "

Chu Yu's expression became extremely gloomy, and after a while, he said coldly: "How to solve it?"

Chizhu shook her head and smiled wryly: "I can't solve it. 99 babies were fed with 99 kinds of poisons. Six out of ten died at the time of caesarean section. After feeding the poisons, half of them will be lost. Hundreds of thousands of lives can be obtained. Single-taste Gu. Most Gu masters can’t make it, even I have only heard of it. If the crime is too deep, you must solve it, and you must know what each poison is, and then use the antidote for each poison to prepare it in the same way. Perhaps it is possible, but this can only be asked by the person who made the Gu. Just think about it, Master, a person who spent so much effort to create a Gu must have great resentment in his heart. How could he leave the enemy behind? On the day the Gu is completed, everyone who knows the inside story will be killed."

Chu Yu said: "If he can't find the antidote, how long can he live?"

Chi Zhu said: "If you take good care of yourself, you shouldn't have a problem living to 30 years old, but it might be, if you feel great sadness and joy when the poison occurs, and get angry and angry, it will increase the time for the poison to enter the heart, and maybe it will disappear all at once. It's gone." The lonely lamp was dim, unable to see clearly Chu Yu's expression, Chi Zhu secretly thought that he must be in a bad mood at this time, so as not to get involved, she hurriedly said: "But it will be fine in a while, I will think about it later , maybe I can think of a way.”

Chu Yu waved impatiently and let him go down.Chi Zhu felt apprehensive, and before leaving, she tugged at Fang Qing's sleeve, signaling him to say something nice for her, but Fang Qing looked forward and ignored him.The angry Chi Zhu took out a big centipede from his waist and threw it at him.Fang Qing frantically frantically busy before driving the centipede away.When he looked up, he saw that Chu Yu was still in the previous posture, not moving.He comforted: "My lord, don't worry too much. Didn't Chi Zhu say that there will be no problems in the next few years. This old boy still has some skills, so he won't let the crown prince really die young."

Hearing Chu Yu's sarcasm, he said coldly: "I have nothing to worry about. He trusted others and brought this trouble on him. No matter how hard he suffers, he deserves to suffer it himself. Besides..." After a pause, his tone changed Dan: "He has a limited lifespan. If he can have no heirs in the future, it will be a matter of time before he loses power."

It took Fang Qing a while to understand the meaning of his words, and he couldn't believe his ears. All the care he had for the prince before suddenly changed.Chu Yu stopped talking, stood up slowly, and walked outside.

Outside the door, the bright moon hangs high, and the clear spring is like a mirror.A dark cloud passed quietly, covering the moon in the sky and the shadow in the water. When Fang Qing chased him out, Chu Yu had already disappeared.

The whole palace is quiet and peaceful, but the inside of Zichen Palace is filled with murderous aura, talking about the kingdom of the dead and the extermination of the race.

Quli is not an aggressive country. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the city defenses were strengthened every year. The defensive walls were built higher and higher. From a distance, it looked like a country within a castle. Ordinary siege equipment was useless. Food transportation is also a big problem. Most of the food and grass sent are consumed on the road. It is not easy to gnaw this hard bone.In addition, Dayan had lived peacefully for many years, and there were many peacemakers in the court. Emperor Yan decided to raise troops this time, and he will be outside. He cannot interfere with how to use troops, but the rear needs to be stabilized first. A confidant and veteran to discuss countermeasures.

Whenever discussing matters, Emperor Yan would bring Yuan Jing by his side, and let him listen and think more, so that he could make progress.However, today Yuan Jing was absent-minded all night and hardly listened to anything.Until Cheng Xiang said casually: "Foreign aggression is flat, I'm afraid there will be internal turmoil, Your Majesty has to make plans early."

Since Yuan Jing went out of the palace to build a mansion, after he often walked among the people, he heard some gossip that could not be heard in the palace, and knew that the prime minister was probably referring to General Shenwu.Under the overturned nest, how can there be any eggs?If something happens to General Shenwu, I'm afraid that Chu Yu's side will also be in trouble.Yuan Jing's expression tensed, and then he became serious, but Emperor Yan didn't let him continue listening, saying that it was getting late, and asked him to go back to rest.Before he could refuse, the soft sedan chair was already waiting outside, he had no choice but to leave with a lot of worries.

Back in the bedroom, it was almost midnight.He bumped all the way on the soft sedan, feeling drowsy.Xiao Liu was distressed that he hadn't eaten much all day, so he asked someone to bring some supper over.Yuan Jing ate two mouthfuls, but he really didn't have any appetite, so he put it aside, climbed onto the bed by himself, didn't even bother to turn over, put his face on the back of his hand, and fell into a deep sleep.Dimly aware that the bed curtain was gently lifted, he thought it was Xiao Liu, he waved his hand weakly: "I don't want to eat, you go down."

There was no reply for a long time, Yuan Jing only felt his cheek being caressed by a rough hand, he barely opened his eyes, a hot breath pressed down on him, and something soft seemed to touch his forehead , he yawned, and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he immediately woke up: "Brother!" He jumped up and rubbed his eyes for a long time before he was sure it was not a dream. Where did you go! I have asked someone to look for you for a long time!"

Chu Yu looked at him gloomyly, without saying a word, seemed very unhappy.After Yuan Jing was pleasantly surprised, he also came to his senses, and snorted angrily: "It's agreed to come to me! You don't mean anything!"

He looks very vivid when he is angry, his cheeks are puffed up, his eyes are black and bright, if he is in a hurry, his skin will be a little flushed, and his fists are clenched tightly, like a little beast ready to pounce on people at any time. Not sure he was a short-lived ghost.

Chu Yu's face became more and more serious. He had been silent for too long, and Yuan Jing suddenly felt a little uneasy. He remembered what he heard tonight, and moved closer to touch his face: "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong? Something happened. It doesn't matter, you tell me, I will never let others harm you."
