"What if you just find a scapegoat?" Jiang Zhiyu said indifferently.
The elders didn't expect her to point it out directly, and were stunned for a moment.
"How about this, I heard there's a kind of insect in Nan Gu that can control a person's mind and behavior? Leave it with me as collateral. I'll return it to you after I've dealt with the real culprit."
"No." One of the elders flatly refused.
"If we find the person and you don't recognize him, then wouldn't this poison be given to you for nothing?"
Especially when it's such a rare insect, how can I give it away so easily?!
"Then let's look for it now."
Jiang Zhiyu folded his arms across his chest and looked at the Great Elder leisurely.
King Nan Gu is still waiting to meet someone, so we can't waste too much time here.
The Great Elder clenched his cane with his mottled hands and ordered, "Go get it."
“Elder!”
The others couldn't help but speak out. The snake on the crutch suddenly opened its mouth wide, and its cold pupils swept over everyone.
The voices of dissuasion stopped abruptly.
A man ran out in a hurry and entered a room at the door. After a while, he came out holding a brocade box.
The Great Elder signaled with his eyes, and Jiang Zhiyu reached out to take it. Jiang Wenjing blocked her way. Jiang Zhiyu opened the purse that contained the looted poisonous insects, and then opened the brocade box.
The poisonous insect in the purse began to wriggle.
Jiang Zhiyu picked up the poisonous insect, turned to look at the Great Elder, and then moved his two fingers, and the poisonous insect was crushed into pieces in an instant.
The Great Elder's cloudy eyes moved.
The others were also stunned and were about to scold him when they heard Jiang Zhiyu say, "That's not necessary, Great Elder. Why would you use such a nice box to store such a low-level poisonous insect?"
In fact, poisonous insects are just like some people. They bully the weak and fear the strong. When they encounter someone who is not as strong as them, they will be ready to eat them.
If you encounter a powerful enemy, you should naturally run as far away from him as possible.
Of course, the people at Nan Gu didn't know Jiang Zhiyu's identification method, so they just assumed she knew how to use Gu. The Great Elder's eyes changed slightly, and he forced a smile and said, "Maybe you took the wrong one. Why don't you go get it again?!"
The man hurried over again.
When he came back, Jiang Zhiyu looked again and found that the poisonous insects in the purse had started to hide, so she put them away.
It doesn’t matter whether this is a poisonous insect that can control people.
What’s important is that this insect is of high grade. The higher the grade of the insect, the rarer it is.
What's more, according to his previous discovery, with this one poisonous insect, he can control most of the poisonous insects.
That's enough.
"Then let's wait for you to investigate it thoroughly," Jiang Zhiyu said with a smile.
But in the eyes of the Southern Gu people, it is extremely hateful and terrifying.
"Since you are satisfied, please follow me to see the king. Prince and Princess, please follow me."
After the Great Elder finished speaking, he turned around and left without even wanting to look at them.
The other elders followed suit.
Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu followed behind them.
The people around him looked as if they wanted to rush up and kill them. Yougu was furious. He was an impatient person who got angry easily. The anger that he had just suppressed with great difficulty burned more and more fiercely as he watched their backs as they were about to leave.
He suddenly took a few steps, leaped up, and stabbed Jiang Wenjing's back with the dagger in his hand: "Die, you scum from Tianqi!"
He said this sentence in Nan Gu language, and it was very long.
He was so long that he was kicked away by Jiang Wenjing, and then kicked back by Jiang Wenjing. The dagger he used to stab him pierced his abdomen, and he didn't even finish his words.
Suddenly, a shrill cry rang out from the crowd: "Yugu!"
The young man who led the way with Yugu ran out of the crowd, picked him up and ran in the opposite direction.
Jiang Wenjing realized that the knife might not have killed You Gu, and before he could finish him off, he only saw the boy's back running away.
Jiang Wenjing sighed regretfully.
The others stared at him intently. Jiang Wenjing shrugged, "We all saw it. He was the first to do it."
Everyone: “…”
Yes, I saw it all.
The regret in your eyes is also clearly visible!
The Great Elder coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, disperse! No one is allowed to follow me!"
At this point, the contempt that only two people came from Tianqi has completely faded in the hearts of the Nan Gu people, and instead, it is replaced by a strong fear.
We walked all the way to the palace without any problems.
It is more like a village with more luxurious decorations than a palace.
As I walked into the palace, I saw ministers sitting on the ground on both sides, and in the middle, a man was lying barefoot on a soft couch.
"Prince Casas, where is the king? The envoys of the apocalypse have arrived."
The Great Elder bowed slightly.
Casas raised his eyelids, his pupils were a clear, deep purple. "Wait a moment, I'll be right back."
He stood up, walked barefoot to them.
Jiang Zhiyu noticed that his clothes were different from others.
It is no longer the apocalyptic style embellished with gauze, but clothes woven from colorful vines and hung with bells.
But the bell seemed to have nothing in it, so there was no sound when walking.
【Casas, the least favored prince of Nan Gu.】
[Don't be an ass to me. I'm on the throne, but I'm still not favored?]
While they were observing Casas, Casas was also observing them: "You are the envoys sent by Tianqi, Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu, right?"
His Tianqi dialect is very standard and has no accent.
After hearing his words clearly, everyone in the hall stood up immediately.
???!!!!!!
who?
Jiang Zhiyu?!
The one who killed Prince Malzahar?
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and the snakes coiled on the elders' crutches straightened up and opened their mouths wide.
Jiang Wenjing blocked Jiang Zhiyu with one hand.
The elders all had strange expressions on their faces. The king only said they were envoys of the apocalypse, but didn't say who they were. If they had known it was them, they would have killed them at the door even at the cost of their lives!
The Nan Gu people are indifferent to friendship. In comparison, Malzahar is an outlier. He is very kind to everyone and has no airs at all.
[Malzahar's previous ending was: the Nan Gu people were instigated by Xiao Yanli and pushed him out, where he was trampled to death by the Apocalypse army.]
[Now that Malzahar has died, the Nangu people remember his kindness and are eager to avenge him.]
Jiang Zhiyu clicked his tongue a few times, his meaning unclear.
Jiang Wenjing looked at everyone warily.
At the same time, he replied, "Yes."
After receiving a positive response, Casas raised the corner of his mouth and bowed: "Thank you."
This brilliant move not only stunned Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu, but also stunned the ministers and elders in the hall.
Malzahar was his biological brother, after all, and yet he was bowing and thanking the man who had killed him?!
This action was like a loud slap in the face of all the Nan Gu people present!
Immediately afterwards, Casas' next sentence made their heads explode.
"Thank you for helping me eliminate two powerful enemies. Only then can my father start to use me. You are truly my benefactors!"
Jiang Wenjing: "..."
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
Is it okay to say this?
