King's Landing [Rebirth]

Mentioning the recent events in Qiao County, Ye Cheng's expression became serious.He took the clothes handed over by the shopkeeper and put them on, hesitating rarely.Sitting beside the bed and meditating for a moment, instead of answering Liang Jian's question, he looked at Jiang Shengxue and said, "Girl, how much do you know about Gu?"

Jiang Shengxue nodded and said: "I have been a doctor with my father for more than ten years, and I have dabbled in both Gu and poison."

Jiang Shengxue didn't plan to hide anything about the Gu from Liang Jian and the others. When she solved the Gu for Ye Cheng, she knew that there was something she couldn't hide anymore.Those people were tyrannical on the territory of Qiao County, if she was still worried about causing trouble and didn't intervene, it would only put more people in trouble.

Ye Cheng seemed dissatisfied with Jiang Shengxue's answer, he raised his brows lightly, and said solemnly: "The county magistrate's concubine is still alive, that woman must have made some kind of deal with a Gu master from Fujian, relying on Gu to live Come down. She controls the entire county now, arresting strong men everywhere. Most of your neighbors fell into their hands, and a few escaped with our help. My teahouse was attacked by a group of living dead, and one of them was a Well, I was stabbed by him, if you meet him, you must be careful."

The matter of Qiao County is just a matter of a few words, and Ye Cheng is currently in a weak state, so he can't take it anymore after talking.He sat leaning against the bed, his lips pale.

Liang Jian's heart trembled when he heard this, and a bad feeling rose in his heart. He stood up from the stool, and said with an ugly face: "The government office has also fallen?"

Ye Cheng nodded, the government office can be said to be the first to fall, the concubine killed the county magistrate's son, and took the power of the government soldiers in her hands.

Mei Zhenghan exclaimed: "Then Mr. Xu and the others are not going to the tiger's mouth? Is it too late for us to go there now?"

Liang Jian shook his head, it might be too late.

The concubine of the government office is just a puppet, and the person hiding behind it is a Gu master from Fujian. Xu Ze's sudden visit will definitely arouse their suspicion, and even if they don't do it immediately, they will monitor him.After Xu Zezhi discovered something was wrong, he would probably be able to deal with it for a while. If they rushed over at this moment, those people would rather kill by mistake than let them go.

Liang Jian couldn't help becoming worried. Xu Ze is a capable person who can be used, and he doesn't want the other party to fall here: "I hope Xu Ze can react and use your case as a shield."

Liang Jian was sure that behind Jiang Yi's case was not simply the government's disregard for human life, so he glanced in Jiang Shengxue's direction when he said this.Jiang Shengxue avoided his gaze, and clenched her sleeves tightly with drooping hands.

Ye Cheng was a little confused by Liang Jian's words, he asked in surprise, "You brought officers and soldiers here?"

Liang Jian nodded. Mei Zhenghan didn't know Ye Cheng's identity, but only knew that he was the one who helped her out of trouble back then, and said unsuspectingly: "Brother is now the lord of Hongye City. We came here this time for my case. The second is to know that it is indeed not peaceful recently."

Ye Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect Liang Jian to become the lord of Hongye City in just one month. This was beyond his expectation.

"Okay, very good, you really surprised me more and more." Ye Cheng looked at Liang Jian excitedly, even his own injuries were not that important.If he was interested in Liang Jian at the beginning only because of the legend of the blood moon, then now he is interested in Liang Jian himself. He sees infinite possibilities in Liang Jian, and he really wants to know how far Liang Jian can go .

Liang Jian indifferently accepted Ye Cheng's compliment, which was not considered a compliment. He originally planned to ask about some more things in the city, but seeing Ye Cheng's weakness, he stopped talking and asked Ye Cheng to lie down and rest.

Ye Sheng was indeed at the end of his strong bow after holding on for many days, and he was not trying to be brave with Liang Jian, so he lay|lay on the bed and rested.Jiang Shengxue prescribed a prescription for him, and the shopkeeper asked the people below to quickly fry it and deliver it, and took Liang Jian and the others out by himself.

It was dusk now, the sky was dark, the crow was squatting on the wall and singing hoarsely, and the shadow fell on the gray wall.

Jiang Yi's family not only has people from Tingyin Pavilion, but also a few people from Qiao County. They all huddled here. After dark, they huddled in the room and dared not come out.Jiang Shengxue didn't expect that her home would become a refuge one day. It was a familiar house, but the atmosphere was completely different, strange and chilling.She originally planned to walk around the house, but now it seems that she can only sit in the yard.

The shopkeeper looked at the three of them apologetically, and said, "I'm really sorry, this is obviously your home, but now you don't even have a place to sleep."

"It doesn't matter. I think everyone is quite frightened. The change in this place is really unexpected. The shopkeeper might as well tell us in detail. Now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope. It is not good for everyone to hide it. "People who practice martial arts have a keen sense of six senses. Mei Zhenghan can feel the tension and fear floating out of the room. Everyone is terrified, like a frightened bird, unable to bear any movement.

What Ye Cheng said just now was just a rough idea, they need more and more detailed information.

Liang Jian is now the lord of Hongye City. If his identity has changed, his meaning here will also be different. The shopkeeper is a person who knows the importance, and he dare not hide anything about this place. He tells Liang Jian everything he knows.

There are only two Gu masters here in Fujian, the trouble is that they have around a dozen dead warriors, all of them are very skilled, these people are not afraid of pain or poison, and they can move freely even after their arms are cut off.After all, Tingyin Pavilion is the largest news selling place in the world, and the shopkeeper is not a mediocre person, knowing that these dead men are insects and can't go head-to-head, so I didn't get too entangled with them.

The Gu master took advantage of the little concubine's desire to survive, and let her take control of the power and arrest all the young men in the county. The last time the shopkeeper and the others found out was that these people were thrown into the prison of the county government. Afterwards, the teahouse was burned and Ye Sheng was injured. They retreated here and no longer cared about the situation in the prison, so they didn't know whether those people were dead or alive.

In contrast, the women and children in the county town are quite safe, the Gu master didn't attack them, but they were so scared that they basically wouldn't go out.

After listening to the shopkeeper's narration, the three of them looked very ugly. Gu masters and those worms are not a big problem. With Jiang Shengxue's help, they can definitely prevent the other party from laying down Gu. The problem is, why are they arresting those young men?It's just some hard-working ordinary people who don't know anything about other things except for their strength.Arresting them is just to reduce the labor force in Qiao County, and it does not pose a big threat.

Liang Jian raised his forehead with a headache, he still had too little contact with Gu masters, only this useful information was not enough for him to understand the joints.In comparison, Jiang Shengxue might know more than him, Liang Jian thought so, subconsciously looked at Jiang Shengxue, her pupils shrunk, and she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Jiang Shengxue put her hands on her knees, tightly grasping her skirt, her face was pale, and there was uncontrollable fear and surprise deep in her eyes.Her shoulders trembled, and her lips trembled: "Impossible, they can't do this."

Mei Zhenghan stretched out his hand to cover the back of Jiang Shengxue's hand, calmed her down, and asked, "Shengxue, do you know something?"

Jiang Shengxue looked up at Mei Zhenghan, her voice trembling uncontrollably: "If my guess is right, they want to cultivate worms here and use Gu worms on a large scale. Once they succeed, Qiao County will become The place where they raise Gu, the remaining living people here will become the host of Gu insects, until the Gu insects eat away their vitality!"

The best materials for cultivating living insectoids are healthy young people who don't know martial arts and know how to resist. Although the finished products can only be used as low-level insectoids, they have a higher chance of survival.When Ye Cheng said it just now, Jiang Shengxue faintly felt something was wrong, but now that the shopkeeper told her in detail, a shadow that could not dissipate shrouded her heart.

The cultivation of insects is prohibited in western Yunnan, not only because this method is inhumane, but also because it will cause endless killing|killing.But Min country doesn't care about these, they are all devils who keep moving forward for profit, it is not enough to commit murder|killing in their own country, and they will transfer the battlefield to Qiu Tong.

Jiang Shengxue didn't dare to imagine the consequences of their success, that would be the beginning of hell.

All the people present were shocked by Jiang Shengxue's words, Liang Jian's face was ashen, and she stood up from the stool suddenly.He raised his head and looked in the direction of the government office. There were little lights lit there under the twilight, like a flickering light in the dark, which would go out at any moment.

Liang Jian had seen the war between insects and the cultivation of insects, and even his hard-hearted heart was moved by it.He didn't want to see such a tragedy a second time, let alone under his nose.

Although what Jiang Shengxue said was hypothetical, it was not unreasonable.Liang Jian was worried about the safety of Xu Ze and Wen Yao, and wanted to go to the county government to find out.Mei Zhenghan saw his plan and got up to go with him.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Shengxue stopped the two of them, and said worriedly: "You don't know much about Gu, and you won't be able to defend against a Gu master. Wait until I prepare something for you."

Jiang Shengxue said that he wanted to prepare things, but he borrowed a shovel from the shopkeeper, went to a corner of the yard and started digging.Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan looked at each other, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.Mei Zhenghan has been in the Jiang family for so many years, but he never knew that there was something under the soil.Liang Jian glanced at it but didn't think about it, turned around and asked the shopkeeper for a long knife and a silver gun.

The shopkeeper also used knives, so the knives were ready-made. Although they were not Liang Jian's usual long knives but lancets, the advantage was that they were comfortable in the hand and Liang Jian did not refuse.The knife had a silver gun but it was hard to find. Mei Zhenghan glanced at the room and told the shopkeeper that his usual silver gun was at home, but the room was occupied by someone and the shopkeeper needed to get it out.

Mei Zhenghan's silver spear was forged by Mrs. Jiang at the blacksmith's request. It was not a precious magical weapon, but it felt very comfortable to Mei Zhenghan's hand after having been with Mei Zhenghan for many years.

"Good brother, I thought I would never have the chance to fight with you again." Mei Zhenghan stood in the courtyard holding a silver gun, his eyes revealing reminiscence.He had fled in a hurry before, and this thing had been kept at home, and the tip of the gun shone with silver light in the dancing candlelight.

Jiang Shengxue dug out a palm-sized box in the corner for half a cup of tea. She carefully shook off the soil on the box, opened the box, took out two small pouches from inside, and handed them to Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan. , one per person.

"What is this?" Mei Zhenghan looked at the purse in a familiar shape, and vaguely remembered that Mrs. Jiang sewed it, but she didn't know why it was buried in the ground by Jiang Shengxue.

Liang Jian picked up the purse and sniffed it between his nose, a very faint fragrance emanated from the purse.The scent is very unique, a bit like the snow on the top of the mountain, clear and cold.

Jiang Shengxue patted the dirt on the dress, and said: "This is 'condensation incense', which can drive away Gu insects. I thought it would not be needed, so I buried it, but I didn't expect to dig it out one day."

Condensed incense is not incense, but a kind of wood that only grows in places with perennial snow.Gu worms are very sensitive to the smell it emits, and will avoid it far away.These two purses were made by Jiang Shengxue a long time ago with Jiang Yi's leftover condensed incense. They were originally prepared for the Gu Master Conference, but after those things happened, she thought they would not be needed and buried them.

Liang Jian had heard Ning Xiangxiang's name before, he stared at the purse thoughtfully, and then looked back at Jiang Shengxue.Jiang Shengxue did not avoid his gaze this time, and met his gaze with determination.Obviously, she had stabilized when she was digging the soil just now, and made a decision after deliberation.

Escaping cannot solve problems, facing difficulties is the right way.
