"But you have to think clearly." Gu Ning said softly, "Your only chance to leave this vortex is gone."
Xu Qingqing gritted her teeth, but still resolutely agreed to Gu Ning: "Thank you Princess for saving your life. If I come, I will definitely hold the grass as a ring to repay your kindness!"
"It's just this life..." Xu Qingqing's voice was choked up when she said this, but her eyes were still as firm as ever, "I am destined to live for Your Highness in this life."
Gu Ning glanced at her, and there was no pity in her eyes, but indifferently: "You made your own decision, as long as you can accept the consequences of this decision."
"I'll leave it to you to keep an eye on Gu Qingqiu." Gu Ning ordered, "Since you know that Gu Ning has raised so many people in the Third Prince's Mansion, you should know what she's doing."
"You keep an eye on the movement of the Third Prince's Mansion, and report to me immediately if there is anything unusual."
"Yes!"
Xu Qingqing immediately agreed.
……
The Third Prince's Mansion at that time.
A secret door was opened, and in the dark tunnel, two strands of candlelight appeared, and after that, there was Gu Qingqiu's pale and beautiful face.
Every time Mr. Zhuang sees Gu Qingqiu, he can't help being terrified.
He swallowed, and said in a low voice: "Crown Princess, the capital is heavily guarded these days, and no more people can be caught."
Having said that, but under Mr. Zhuang's feet, there were still five unconscious people on the ground.
Looking at the age of these people, Gu Qingqiu frowned dissatisfied: "Why are they all old? Are there no younger men?"
Hearing this, Mr. Zhuang smiled wryly: "Since those 20 people disappeared, people in the capital are in panic. Even these old people were found by the subordinates and others with a lot of effort!"
"As for those young and middle-aged men..." Mr. Zhuang sighed, "We don't have enough manpower to take them away without disturbing the patrolling imperial troops."
Gu Qingqiu's complexion became a little dark, her eyes changed, and she said in a deep voice, "Forget it, these people can make do with it."
"How is the condition of those people before?" Gu Qingqiu asked coldly, "Are they still alive?"
After hearing this, Mr. Zhuang regained his energy and nodded vigorously: "As you expected, Princess, they are all alive! And they are all alive and well! They look like ordinary people!"
Hearing this, Gu Qingqiu's eyes finally softened.
She nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the handbook left by Yuntian is really good, and it can indeed make people advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time."
Mr. Zhuang is all about Gu Qingqiu's dream of using these Gu worms to control the emperor, and he doesn't realize that such a handbook that makes people advance by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time may not be a good thing.
And Gu Qingqiu is already a madman, she doesn't care about the side effects of these letters at all.
Only Ban Xia stood behind Gu Qingqiu with a worried expression on his face.
Wearing a black robe, Gu Qingqiu slowly walked into the passage in the rockery.
The large space under the rockery is the secret dungeon of the Third Prince's Mansion.
And these people who Gu Qingqiu sent people to kidnap from the capital were all thrown into the dungeon. After seeing Gu Qingqiu in black robes, their eyes showed panic.
Once people in black robes enter, they will immediately become pigs to be slaughtered. If they resist a little, or make the people in black dissatisfied, they will become souls under the knife, just like those who were dragged out before. same as people.
Thinking of this, their faces became even more rigid.
The entire dungeon was pitch-black and seemed lifeless.
But these people who were imprisoned in the dark dungeon all had red faces and looked very healthy.
Gu Qingqiu could see the blackness in their eyes at a glance, but even so, she still chose to go her own way.
"Give them the food." Gu Qingqiu beckoned, and immediately someone came in from the outside, holding an earthen jar in his hand.
Seeing the crock pot, everyone backed away.
But Gu Qingqiu's movements were very quick. As soon as the crock was carried in, she stretched out a hand, and quickly and accurately threw black wriggling bugs into the crowd.
The bugs seemed small and could be crushed to death with one finger, but their movements were extremely fast. Before these people could catch them, they had already burrowed into the human skin.
In the dungeon that was still quiet just now, their painful howls sounded instantly.
When Gu Qingqiu saw this scene, a happy smile flashed across his eyes.
Mr. Zhuang has long been used to these scenes, and he can even separate his mind to clean up the mess for Gu Qingqiu.
Just the moment the two walked out of the dungeon, the outside of the Third Prince's mansion was illuminated by countless torches.
The light from these torches directly illuminated half of the sky, and the third prince's mansion was as bright as day. Gu Qingqiu paused, and immediately realized something was wrong.
Without even thinking about it, she took Ban Xia and ran to the secret passage.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhuang also realized that something was wrong, and immediately followed Gu Qingqiu's footsteps.
The rest of the subordinates followed suit and quickly followed Gu Qingqiu.
Just when he walked into the secret passage, Gu Qingqiu noticed something unusual inside.
Almost subconsciously, she pulled Mr. Zhuang out from behind him.
Although Mr. Zhuang is a man, his strength is not as strong as the delicate and weak Gu Qingqiu. Gu Qingqiu looks delicate and weak, but in order to protect herself, she has learned a lot of martial arts over the years, although it is not enough to step into the realm of a master. However, when dealing with a frail scholar like Mr. Zhuang, he still has a great advantage.
Mr. Zhuang's eyes widened in disbelief, but Gu Qingqiu's movements were very quick and merciless. She opened the porcelain bottle, and a dark worm crawled all the way into Mr. Zhuang's mouth.
Mr. Zhuang covered his neck, desperately trying to spit out the bug, but no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain.
Gu Qingqiu patted Mr. Zhuang on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "It's up to you to raise a soldier for a thousand days, Mr. Zhuang, whether I can leave here today!"
Hearing this, Mr. Zhuang wanted to stop Gu Qingqiu immediately.
However, his reason could not control his body, he could only watch helplessly as he blocked those who wanted to attack Gu Qingqiu without hesitation.
Mr. Zhuang is just a frail scholar, even though his heart is a bit cruel, but his body is too weak to withstand a single blow.
When Chunyu moved secretly, Mr. Zhuang couldn't stop her at all.
But even so, Mr. Zhuang still ran towards Chunyu, he hugged Chunyu's leg tightly, and stopped Chunyu with his body.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Qingqiu had already fled away with Ban Xia.
The rest of the secret guards in the secret passage, like Mr. Zhuang, stopped Chunyu and the others irrationally for Gu Qingqiu. They were completely irrational and didn't care about their own lives. Their only mission was to help Gu Qingqiu. Qingqiu left this secret passage.
As a result, Chunyu and Yue Rong's actions were greatly hindered, and it was impossible to track Gu Qingqiu at all.
Therefore, only by capturing Mr. Zhuang and others alive can he barely complete this mission.
On the way back, Yue Rong had already mentioned this matter, with a depressed expression on his face: "Then Gu Qingqiu's fate is really serious! You can escape this!"
"It's better to say she's ruthless than her fate." Chunyu recalled the scene where Gu Qingqiu pushed Mr. Zhuang to block the gun without hesitation, and couldn't help but sigh, "She is so ruthless, no wonder she can escape. Gotta lose!"
"I think there is something mysterious about her." Yue Rong said sullenly, "You haven't seen her weirdness. Didn't Yundie say that everyone can learn to use the Gu technique? But she can do it in a short period of time. In just one month, she has controlled the puppet Gu and can manipulate so many people, even that Yuntian is not as powerful as her!"
Speaking of this, Yue Rong couldn't help the slander in his heart, and said all the words in one brain: "In my opinion, there are probably some experts behind her to help."
However, Chunyu didn't take Yue Rong's conjecture seriously.
"Whether it's the help of an expert or her fate, she can't win against the Princess." Chunyu said firmly, "The Princess only needs to use her hands to wipe out all the forces she has cultivated so hard."
"She can push Mr. Zhuang out to block the knife this time, who else can she push next time? In the end, she will only be left alone."
Chunyu's words were indeed reasonable, Yue Rong nodded, but his fear of Gu Qingqiu still made him go to Xie Yan after returning to Xie's mansion.
However, Yue Ming's solemn expression outside the study made Yue Rong stop immediately.
Yue Rong didn't even think about it, he was about to walk out with a numb face.
But at this time, Yue Ming stopped him: "You came just in time, go and persuade the adults."
Hearing this, Yue Rong's eyes widened: "Brother! Are we blood brothers? You actually want to push me into the fire pit!"
Even Yue Ming, who was used to watching Xie Yan's face, was thrown outside the study. How could he, who was about to be thrown to the border for "experience" from time to time, dare to meet Xie Yan?
When Yue Rong said this, he lifted his feet and was about to run outside.
But as soon as Yue Ming stretched out his hand, he grabbed his collar.
"If you follow the princess, you will definitely have a lot of interesting stories about the princess. My lord has not seen the princess for a long time, so I am waiting for you." Yue Ming smiled, not giving Yue Rong any chance to resist, and rushed Looking at the study room, he shouted: "Your Highness, Yue Rong is here!"
"Let him in."
As Xie Yan's icy voice sounded in the study, Yue Rong walked inside with a frowning face, glaring at Yue Ming while beating him.
If it weren't for Yue Ming's voice, my lord wouldn't want to see him!
Thinking of this, Yue Rong felt wronged for a while.
But he had to bite the bullet and walk in.
Xie Yan's eyes were cold, but when he mentioned Gu Ning, his eyes seemed to melt like ice and snow, showing a faint smile.
"What is she doing these days?"
"My lord, the princess is planning to deal with the princess."
Xu Qingqing gritted her teeth, but still resolutely agreed to Gu Ning: "Thank you Princess for saving your life. If I come, I will definitely hold the grass as a ring to repay your kindness!"
"It's just this life..." Xu Qingqing's voice was choked up when she said this, but her eyes were still as firm as ever, "I am destined to live for Your Highness in this life."
