Ji Tong looked him up and down, as if to judge whether he was lying, and Xiao Yanli let him look at him.

Although Ji Tong was not with Jiang Wenjing at the beginning, he had heard it.

At first, no one in the army respected him, and correspondingly, the people in Mobei also thought he was a young brat.

Underestimating the enemy is the biggest mistake on the battlefield.

That's why Jiang Wenjing won that battle beautifully.

But he had little experience after all, and once the people of Mobei were on guard, Jiang Wenjing began to have a difficult time.

There was no need to tell Xiao Yanli about this. Xiao Yanli suspected Jiang Wenjing, which was exactly what Ji Tong wanted.

"So what does Your Highness want to ask?"

Xiao Yanli looked at his alert expression and slightly trembling eyelashes, and chuckled softly, "It's late, little brother Ji, please stay in my house for the time being. We can discuss it in detail tomorrow when you've rested well."

He just told Ji Tong, so he turned around and left without waiting for his reply.

After he left, Ji Tong screamed "wow" and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

His injuries had just begun to improve, but Xiao Yanli's men attacked him without mercy. He had to stay alert and deal with Xiao Yanli. It was not easy for him to hold on until now.

His eyes went dark, and he staggered and groped his way to the edge of the bed and lay down flat on his back.

Even the bed is prepared. It seems that Xiao Yanli will definitely not let me go in the short term.

Ji Tong, who had originally planned to go to Nan Gu immediately after his injury healed, had to put this plan on hold.

The more intense the internal fighting among the people of Tianqi, the more beneficial it is to Ji Tong. He opened his eyes, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

What he had to do next was to help Xiao Yanli and prove Jiang Wenjing's crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy!

…

The miasma is getting thicker and thicker, and there is even a tendency for it to spread to the surrounding areas.

The news can neither be transmitted in nor out.

Xiao Mingye couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Bai Yan was still fiddling with his bottles and jars as usual.

Xiao Mingye was anxious. He couldn't stand his leisurely look and approached him. "We're already outside Nan Gu, don't you have any ideas?"

"Of course, but I want to go back. Are you willing?"

Bai Yan didn't even raise his head.

Xiao Mingye choked.

"When will this miasma dissipate?"

Bai Yan looked up and said, "At least one month."

Without waiting for Xiao Mingye to speak, he continued, "In this kind of weather, the poisonous insects around here will be more active. Give orders as soon as possible and have them sprinkle realgar around the tents."

As if to confirm Bai Yan's words, a scream was heard from the tent the next second:

"Snake! There's a snake!"

"Doctor! Call a doctor! Someone has been bitten!"

…

Although Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu did not know what was happening outside the dense forest, they could see from the village that the miasma in the dense forest was becoming increasingly thicker.

"At this level, I'm afraid that once someone steps in, they will enter a fantasy world."

Jiang Wenjing frowned softly.

Jiang Zhiyu responded to him and then said, "It's been many days, and there's still no news from over there. It seems that the Southern Gu King doesn't intend to execute his children."

"If that's the case, then it's easy. No need to pretend, we can just go straight to war."

Jiang Wenjing chuckled.

Erzhu Huaji and Tudola were still placed in the side hall at the beginning. In the past few days, Erzhu Huaji tried various methods, but failed to make the high priest give in. Even when King Nan Gu sent people over, the high priest remained unmoved.

Worried that Tudola would be upset, Erzhu Huaji always made excuses to shirk the responsibility, but he became more and more anxious.

At the same time, he inevitably recalled Casas' attitude that day.

Why is he so sure?

In the main hall, King Nan Gu and the five elders sat together, discussing how to deal with the situation.

Gongta was the first to speak: "The high priest represents the oracle. Since the high priest is unwilling to take action, it can only mean that these two people are no longer useful to me, Nan Gu."

"So, I thought it would be better to fulfill their wish, give them an explanation, and let them leave as soon as possible."

King Nan Gu looked at him with his cloudy eyes and did not respond.

Shan Tai coughed a few times, and the snake on his crutch also wilted: "No, how can the royal family of my Nan Gu die so easily? We have to give an explanation to Tianqi!"

"If you ask me, we should just hold off for now. The miasma in the dense forest is getting thicker, and the news won't get out. We might as well take advantage of this time and do something drastic..."

He hadn't finished speaking, but everyone present had already understood his implication.

Si Li frowned and said, "No, these two people have already entered Nan Gu. If something happens in Nan Gu, wouldn't it be obvious that they are forcing Tianqi to go to war?"

"They were just two envoys," Shan Tai coughed a few times and continued, "We lost a prince in Tianqi. Princess Tudora was paralyzed. Wasn't it the people of Tianqi who instigated this?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

The hoarse voice of the Southern Gu King broke the silence: "Great Elder, what kind of character do you see in these two people?"

After a moment's silence, the Great Elder said softly, "You are young at heart, acting rashly, and appearing aggressive but being weak on the inside."

After hearing the last word, everyone looked at him in confusion.

The Great Elder did not explain further.

The Southern Gu King waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't explain, he didn't want to ask any more questions. After a while, he said, "Have you seen the high priest recently?"

This question was asked suddenly, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

Gunta said, "Yes, Amusha hasn't woken up yet. I went to see the high priest yesterday."

When Gunta mentioned Amusha, there was a hint of worry in his tone.

"What does the high priest say?"

Gunta's expression suddenly changed, and he said with a complicated look: "The high priest asked me to wait, saying that the time has not come yet."

wait?

Everyone's expressions were somewhat complicated.

They had seen Amusha's situation before.

Although the arrow wound had healed, his face was blue and his lips were purple. If it weren't for the slight movement of his body and the weak heartbeat, one would almost think that the person lying there was a corpse.

In this situation, the high priest asked us to wait?

Wait for the poison to heal itself?

The look in the Southern Gu King's eyes suddenly became complicated.

He didn't say anything more, just waved his hand tiredly: "The Great Elder stays, everyone else go down."

Everyone stood up. Gongta, still thinking about the purpose of his visit, said, "Prince Narzhu Huaji and Princess Tudola..."

The rest of the words were swallowed back at the sinister look in the Southern Gu King's eyes.

"Those are my children! I will make my own decisions. For now, let's do as Shan Tai says and delay them!"

Seeing that he was angry, the others didn't dare to say anything more and retreated.

The emperor waved his hand again, dismissed the servants around him, and closed the door of the hall.

When he spoke again, his anger was gone: "What do you think of the high priest?"

The snake on the crutch twisted its body. The elder calmly stroked it with his fingers. After a while, he spoke: "I am loyal only to Your Majesty. The high priest is also a court official. I think it is the same."
