Chapter 294
"It's impossible to ask him," Shen Jiao said slowly, "Who would give away the meat that's right in front of their mouth? Once the girl leaves, all these utensils will be his."
What Shen Jiao said makes sense.
Bai Shan still believed her words and comforted Qingbian, saying, "It's okay to try it. If it doesn't work, forget it."
Bai Shan is not greedy.
He has been working loyally over the years, so it is understandable that he wants to gain some benefits for himself.
Yongcheng's attitude, however, seemed a little hesitant.
Just said: "We'll talk about it later."
The Red Umbrella, who had delivered the message, said, "Sister White Shan, Mother told us to return first. When the rebellion begins, the master will make his own arrangements. It's not a good time to show these artifacts to others now, lest they find out and take precautions."
"Like this..." Bai Shan couldn't hide his disappointment.
Hongshan hadn't finished her words yet: "Aniang also told us to move faster and not delay Mr. Wuyong's time, as he still has things to do."
Mr. Wuyong is the strategist sent by Yongcheng.
Shen Jiao had never seen this before. Bai Shan really did things as he pleased. He would just lock people up in a dungeon and leave them there.
Judging from the way she looked at it, she must have done this more than once.
No one would believe that Yongcheng has no objections.
No matter how good-tempered the owner is, he will feel overwhelmed when encountering such a thorny attack.
Bai Shan was rather dissatisfied when she heard the urging: "Why rush it? Even if I'm willing to hand it over, he might not be able to bear it. If he dies, won't Mother blame me again?"
"Again?" Shen Jiao interrupted, "Has this kind of thing... ever happened before?"
Didn't they ask several times if they could transfer but to no avail? Did they try before?
"Oh, you don't know," Bai Shan said nonchalantly, "When I was young, my mother and master were afraid that I couldn't bear the burden, so they sent some people over, saying they were to help me. But those people were all idiots. They either begged for death and insisted on seeing what Wang Gu was like, or they just didn't believe in it and ran around and lost their lives. Not long after, they all died. There were more than a dozen people, and only the three of us sisters were left. Otherwise, we wouldn't have watched them so closely."
One reason is fear of leaks, and another is fear that these people will die here.
Shen Jiao: "So how did you handle it then?"
"I buried them. Who knows what was on those bodies, and it's not easy to send them back to the city. I just found a random place to bury them. Mother Xue even called me back and scolded me."
It's more than just scolding.
Perhaps her mother, Xue, had become suspicious and wanted to see if she was excluding dissidents and had any ulterior motives.
If Bai Shan had not returned, he might have lost his life. It was like that then, and it is still like that now.
Shen Jiao felt something was wrong no matter how she looked at it.
"Such a thing has happened before. The master and Mother Xue must have remembered it. Maybe... the person who came back this time is really capable." Shen Jiao said softly.
Bai Shan: "That would be great. If he can't withstand this King Gu, then I'll have to wait. I should have warned Mother Xue earlier and sent a few more people over to try."
"From what the young lady said, could it be that this King Gu also needs a human as a container?" Shen Jiao asked tentatively.
"How is that possible? It's no exaggeration to say that the King Gu is a divine object. How could a mortal be able to bear it? What I mean is that the King Gu is greedy and picky. It needs the contractor to nourish it with poisonous blood and spiritual energy in order to do its work. If it can't afford it, it will die. The King Gu has a bad temper. It will get angry if someone looks at it. If it feels that it has been tricked, it will swallow it whole."
It is true that the contract they signed with Wang Gu was that of master and servant, but Wang Gu was the master and they were the servants. If they died, it would not harm Wang Gu in the slightest, so Wang Gu would naturally not show mercy.
Bai Shanxiu's poison skills are special. He can absorb the essence, blood and spiritual power of others and use them for himself. That's why he can afford the King Gu. However, not everyone can master this skill.
She seemed to be enjoying the show to some extent.
Ask Qingbian to invite the man in gray robe over.
Most of his face was hidden in the shadow of his hood, and he was wearing a mask. His hands were wrapped in black cloth, and only his delicate chin and slender red fingertips could be seen.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he uttered a hoarse voice: "I have already experienced Miss Bai Shan's hospitality. I wonder when we can get down to business?"
This voice - hoarse and mocking - is hard to listen to.
What he said was true, full of sarcasm.
Bai Shan said, "Mr. Wuyong, please forgive me. This is the rule here. It's the same for everyone. Why don't you have some food first? I'll take you to seek death. We are colleagues after all. I can't just watch you starve to death, right?"
She put one foot on the stool, leaned sideways, and rested her hands on it, sitting like a sloppy and rude bandit.
It doesn't look like he will live long.
He is the kind of person who can draw his sword at any time when he is angry.
Wuyong sneered hoarsely, "Don't worry, Miss Baishan, just lead the way. Wuyong is a tough guy, I'm afraid he won't die."
People are very confident.
Shen Jiao said cautiously, "Sir, please don't misunderstand me. My daughter is saying that Wang Gu is dangerous. Please be careful. It's better to eat something and make sufficient preparations before going. Sir, you're new here. If you don't get enough rest, I'm afraid you won't have enough energy. If you suffer any harm because of this, it will be our fault for not hosting you well."
White Fan:?
Is this what I mean?
No, I really want to see this weird thing die!
"Yeah, that's what I mean."
Bai Shan pointed at the table with his folding fan without blushing or panting.
"Eat something."
Qingbian put the food on the table and stepped away.
Even when a warm-hearted person asks a dog to eat, it has to respond with a "huff, huff, huff" sound. They are really inhospitable.
Shen Jiao: "It's just some rustic food. Please don't be disrespectful, sir. Please use a little of it. I'll also ask my daughter to show her hospitality."
"Let's skip these false courtesies."
This person is blaming the ungrateful person, and is full of complaints.
"Big things are important."
It turns out that he is the one who has something big to do.
Shen Jiao has something important to do, and that is to find a way to escape from here.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t think of a solution for the time being.
She also had a second important thing to do, which was to find a way to mess up the handover.
But she couldn't even see Wang Gu. He went to take over the task, and she ate the food.
He said worriedly, "Did Wang Gu take this long to kill people in the past?"
Hongsan frowned: "No need."
"It seems the girl can go back now."
"Perhaps."
"You don't look happy."
“I was born with a stinky face.”
This person is cold and indifferent. Shen Jiao did not give up and asked, "Do you think it's a good thing for the girl to go back?"
"nature."
Okay, that's all there is to say.
Shen Jiao waited and waited, and waited for a sentence -
"All instruments, listen to my command. Kill White Fan, Green Whip, and Red Umbrella with all your might. This is treason."
Shen Jiao stood up suddenly.
Wait, no her?
Oh, yes, these people don't know her name.
There's no need to take her seriously...
