Paranoid Raiders Manual [Quick Pass]

After getting this random task, Qiao Xi's men paused.

Quietly brushing off the hair that was entangled in the comb, she stuffed it into her cuff, and continued to comb her hair without changing expression or beating heartbeat.

However, how could such an obvious action be hidden from Gu Luan.

"...?"

Witnessing the whole process through the bronze mirror, the corners of Her Royal Highness's mouth twitched, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

This is not the first time.

From remembering the last time, she seemed to have collected the nails that she cut off...

If it weren't for Gu Luan not believing in ghosts and snake spirits at all, Qiao Xi's actions alone would have been convicted of evil intentions long ago.

"Your Highness... you can rest now."

Feeling that the combing is almost done, Qiao Xi put down the comb and said in a gentle voice.

At this time, she didn't realize how big a mistake she had made.

The smooth progress of the task made her feel a little overwhelmed, so much so that she still hasn't figured out the rules of this era.

"... "

Glancing at her indifferently, Her Royal Highness stood up without saying anything.

In fact, sometimes even Gu Luan himself felt that he was a little too indulgent towards Qiao Xi.

Early in the morning of the second day, it was just dawn.

Her Royal Highness was ready to go, and brought a group of attendants to the hardest-hit area.

The flood destroyed the houses near the river. Although the people moved early, they still lost something.

Looking at the rushing river below from afar, Gu Luan said to County Magistrate Wang.

"Where do the people near the river live now? How do they eat on weekdays?"

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ren didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have arranged them in the old courtyard in the city, and will distribute soup and meals on time every day..."

"That's good..."

Hearing such an answer, Gu Luan's expression relaxed, and a slight smile appeared on his solemn face.

"Looking at the weather, it will rain for a while longer. Mr. Wang must always pay attention, and if necessary, he can dig a canal to drain the water." She warned in a warm voice.

The rain has not been getting smaller, and I don't know when it will stop.

The flood is fierce, but dare not take it lightly.

"Yes! This minister will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations!"

……

Listening to the conversation between the princess and Lord Wang, Qiao Xi's eyes could not help but drift to the water below.

The turbulent water flow is menacing, and it seems to break through everything.

suddenly.

A small black spot caught her attention.

His eyes widened, after repeated confirmation several times.

Qiao Xi finally found out that there seemed to be a person floating in the flood.

"There are people underwater! Protect the princess and adults!"

The first reaction was to pull Gu Luan behind her. Qiao Xi's eyes were sharp and she was very vigilant.

There are many people who come to Jincheng this time and want to take this opportunity to kill the princess.

Even the queen, no, she also ordered herself.

So for this sudden person, even in the flood, she dare not be negligent.

"Protect the princess and adults!"

"Protect the princess!"

Qiao Xi's words disturbed the surrounding attendants, who surrounded them in a circle to protect them, and everyone pulled out their official knives, ready to strike.

"What's going on?" Surrounded inexplicably, Gu Luan frowned and his face was gloomy.

"... "

After staring at it for a while, there was no movement from the person in the water. Seeing that the water was about to wash him away, Qiao Xi bit her lip, turned her head and said: "Princess, be careful, this subordinate will go and have a look."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Luan to react, she used lightness kung fu and went straight to the river.

I have to say that having martial arts is indeed very convenient.

With lightness kung fu, Qiao Xi quickly lifted her from the river.

The thin body was light and weightless, and he threw it on the ground fiercely. Only then did everyone see clearly that the person in the river was actually a woman.

She didn't say a word, as if she had been dead for a long time.

"Your Highness, she is still alive."

Stretching out her hand to wipe the rain off her face, Qiao Xi tried the tip of the man's nose with two fingers, and got this result.

"Let someone show her." Gu Luan ordered.

"Yes."

……

……

With such an episode, Qiao Xi was inevitably a little absent-minded in the subsequent itinerary.

Escorted the princess to the city to 'consolate' the people beside the river, and at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the group of them returned to the mansion in a mighty way.

Just after serving Gu Luan for dinner, Qiao Xi received a notification that the woman rescued from the river had woken up.

"woke up?"

Slowly putting down the letter in his hand, Gu Luan raised his eyelids and glanced at her: "If you want to read it, go there, I don't want you to keep thinking about it."

"... "

Unexpectedly, the princess saw through her little thoughts, Qiao Xi scratched her head, and said with a sneering smile, "This subordinate is just curious..."

The main thing is to worry.

"You'll find out if you ask yourself." Gu Luan waved his hand a little funny, and Gu Luan sent her away like a fly.

"Subordinates retire."

...

The rescued woman was arranged in an empty room in the front yard. With brisk steps, Qiao Xi pushed open the door of her room.

Squeak-!

The wooden door was pushed open, and the woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

"How is she?" Qiao Xi strode over to the bed as she glanced at the doctor who was taking care of her in the room.

The delicate face was swollen with blisters, the woman's lips were pale, and she looked sickly.

"Return to your lord, this girl is suffering from a cold and a fever. The grass people have prescribed a prescription to dispel the cold. As long as the fever is gone, it will be fine for a while." After a respectful salute, the doctor said so.

"That's good..." Nodding clearly, Qiao Xi ordered him to leave first: "I have something to ask her, you go down first..."

"Yes."

Picking up the medicine box on the table, the doctor quietly retreated.

For a moment, silence was restored in the room.

Pulling a chair and sitting by the bed, Qiao Xi looked her up and down several times.

After a while.

Xu Shi hadn't seen her speak for a long time, and the woman on the bed couldn't bear it anymore.

"Did you save me..." Her pale lips moved, like a dry traveler in the desert, her voice was hoarse, and her face was flushed unnaturally.

"It's me." Nodding without hesitation, Qiao Xi went straight in: "Why did you appear there?"

"Sudden flood, I didn't have time to run..." Pursing her lips, the woman explained very simply.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and understood her attitude.

It seems that I don't intend to say more...

The atmosphere became cold again, and after sitting in silence for a while, feeling that there was nothing useful to ask, Qiao Xi stood up.

"You have a good rest, I'm leaving first."

After speaking, she pushed the chair away, turned around and wanted to call someone in.

at this time.

The silent woman spoke again.

"You saved me...and I will repay you," she said.

repay?

Frowning high, Qiao Xi swallowed the words in her mouth, and turned around.

Her eyes fell on her with a smile that was not a smile, and the corner of her lips curled up, asking, "How will you repay me?"

I don't even want to say extra words, so how can I repay.

"I..." The eyes dimmed slightly, as if hesitating, the woman paused for a while before slowly saying: "There are Gu worms in your body...I can feel it."

"what?"

"Don't you know?" The expression was different, the woman blinked: "There are Gu worms in your body..."

"Gu worm?" Qiao Xi's face changed in vain, and Qiao Xi felt very bad.

The so-called Gu worms...could it be what she thought...

"Mother-child Gu..."

Sitting up from the bed with difficulty, the woman leaned against the side of the bed and explained softly.

Through her words, Qiao Xi probably understood what it was.

Mother-child Gu, as the name suggests.

A mother Gu will have many child Gu, and the child Gu obeys the orders of the mother Gu and is controlled by the mother Gu.

When the child Gu dies, the mother Gu will not be affected, but when the mother Gu dies, the child Gu will die along with it.

Simply put, this is a one-way controller.

The person who controls Gu has the absolute right to speak, and can easily control the life and death of the controlled person.

In a way, Mother and Child Gu has almost the same function as the products in the system store - "You have to be obedient".

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi felt very complicated.

In the last world, she bought similar products to control the enemy.

Now the feng shui turns, but I have become the one who is controlled...

"I'm a Gu master...I can help you get rid of the sub-gu in your body..." Eyelashes drooping slightly, the woman clenched the horns of the quilt, and said so.

This is her repayment.

"you……"

There was a wave of turmoil in her heart, and Qiao Xi understood what she meant.

In fact, apart from the shock at the beginning, she quickly figured out that there would be Gu worms in her body.

After all, she was trained by the queen, so how could she be assured to do things without any means of control.

What surprised her was that her luck was so good.

The woman who is rescued casually is a Gu master.

Her eyes flickered, and Qiao Xi suddenly remembered something.

"If you are a Gu master... you must know something about blood Gu..." A faint smile appeared on her face, she pulled back the chair and sat down again.

"I want to know what's going on with the blood gu..."

According to the information provided by the system, Qiao Xi knew that the queen had a blood gu in her hand.

That blood gu will become the emperor's nightmare after the flood is over, and the plot of this world will be completely unfolded as a result.

She quickly understood the identity of a female Gu master.

This is a rare opportunity.

As long as she figured out the matter about the blood gu, her mission would be almost completed.

"Ask clearly?"

Seeing Qiao Xi coming from outside with a serious face, Gu Luanyouyou put down the reply letter he had just written in his hand, and asked softly, "Why is your face so unhappy?"

"Princess…"

Barely restraining the serious look on her face, Qiao Xi stepped forward and reported to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"This girl didn't tell me her name and address, but my subordinates found out a very important piece of information..." After a slight pause, she was thinking about what to say next.

At this time, the people in the imperial city may have already taken action, and the matter of the blood gu must be known to Her Royal Highness as early as possible.

Thinking of the things she would face when she returned home, Qiao Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "A few months ago, a man from the imperial capital bought the blood gu worms that she carefully cultivated... It is said..."

"and many more!"

The eyebrows were tightly furrowed, interrupting what she hadn't finished, Gu Luan asked with an ugly expression: "What did you just say you bought?"

"...Blood Gu worm." Qiao Xi said in a daze.

"Why does she have this thing?"

With a harsh tone, Gu Luan took two steps back while holding back the letter.

Seeing her distance from her, Qiao Xi blinked in confusion, and answered honestly: "This girl is a Gu insect master...so..."

"Insect Gu Master?!"

The voice suddenly raised, it seemed very unbelievable, Gu Luan's face was ashen, and he looked like the sky was falling apart.

"...?"

What's going on here?

Qiao Xi didn't quite understand.

But soon, she understood why Her Royal Highness reacted so strongly.

"Insect Gu Master can't live without insects all day long, you actually stayed with her for so long..."

Lifting the hem of the skirt with her fingertips, like a frightened rabbit, Gu Luan retreated further and further away with messy steps.

It was only when there was no way to retreat that Her Royal Highness managed to stabilize her figure.

The beautiful face was full of undisguised disgust, looking at Qiao Xi from a distance, Gu Luan pursed his lips, and simply gave the order to evict her.

"Go away! You must have bugs on you! Stay away from me!"

Qiao Xi: "..."

She seems to understand a little bit...

It turns out that Her Royal Highness is afraid of insects? ? ?

But in fact, Qiao Xi herself is also very afraid of insects.

It's just that I didn't expect that the green out of the blue is better than the blue...

Her Royal Highness is even more exaggerated than her...
