Even though they had poisoned Song Shiwei's cup, lit aphrodisiac incense in her room, and put a knife on her neck, even leaving a bloody mark, they still couldn't take her life!
Needless to say, even if Xiao Yanli was fatally injured, he would be able to recover in just a week.
It was so unreasonable that it was no wonder that the emperor cooperated with them without any reluctance.
…
Nan Gu, it was almost late at night and everyone finally gathered.
From ten people at the beginning to three hundred people now.
Although the Nan Gu army behind him was still pursuing him, its speed had slowed down a lot compared to before.
After their anger subsided, they all felt a little scared.
Yes, I’m scared.
They were not chasing and playing like children along the way. They fired crossbows and hidden weapons many times, but not only did the people in front survive, but they often lost their lives because the hidden weapons they threw were thrown back.
Rather than playing the game of catching a turtle in a jar as they had previously thought, it was more like a game of cat and mouse.
The one in front is a cat, and they are the mice that the cat plays with before eating them.
Many people have already started to back out.
Now that everyone had gathered, it was time to leave the city. Everyone rushed towards the city gate. The city wall was brightly lit, and from a distance, a black shadow could be seen hanging on the wall.
The two groups of people stopped in front of the city gate at the same time.
As we got closer, we could see the hanging figure in the light of the fire. It was Casas!
The Nan Gu Army suddenly became agitated.
"Prince Casas? Why are you hanging him?"
"Have you forgotten who was attentive to these people when they arrived? Was it not he?"
"Prince? Have you forgotten how ugly he was back then? Is he worthy of being called a prince?"
The whispering sounds particularly real in the quiet of the night.
Casas had obviously been tortured. His favorite jade-white robe was in tatters and stained with blood. Hearing the sound, he raised his head with difficulty.
Shan Tai stood on the city wall and said, "I heard that the people of Tianqi value friendship the most. He and you have become friends over the past few days. I think you will not stand by and watch someone die."
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
She looked at Shan Tai with a worried, confused, and incredible look: "You are using your Nan Gu people to threaten us?"
[Are you okay? Are you okay?]
【When you have nothing to do, go eat Liuliumei! 】
Perhaps her speechless mood was contagious to others, and the Nan Gu Army suddenly quieted down.
Shan Tai was silent for a moment, followed by a loud "bang".
He drew out his sword and slashed Casas directly!
Casas groaned in pain.
During this period, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Zhiyu. Seeing that her expression did not fluctuate at all, his pupils trembled slightly.
"I told you..." Casas endured the pain, "Calling them benefactors is just wishful thinking. In reality, they look down on me just like you do. Using me as a threat is useless."
Shan Tai had a cold expression. He looked at him, then at Jiang Zhiyu under the city wall, as if judging the truthfulness of his words.
After a while, he pinched Casas' mouth open and fed him something.
Casas' originally dejected expression suddenly changed.
This taste! He will never forget it!
Memories flooded into his mind like a tide: the person holding his chin and pouring medicine into his mouth, the person pouring the poisonous insects on him, the itching and pain that spread all over his body, the foreign body sensation in his ears and even other parts of his body, and the piercing laughter that seemed to penetrate his eardrums...
He began to struggle violently, his eyes quickly turning red, and he clenched his teeth, his whole body filled with anger: "You, $%$*!"
After hearing a string of Nan Gu curse words, Shan Tai's expression became even colder. A mocking smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "Since they look down on you, then use the last bit of your power and use your body to refine Gu worms."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless poisonous insects, snakes and venomous insects flew towards the direction directly below Casas.
Jiang Zhiyu frowned.
Below that, was Casas's sweat dripping.
Casas looked as if he was ripe, with a strange red complexion, which made the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth less noticeable.
His knuckles were already turning white. Looking at Casas who was breathing heavily, Shan Tai said softly, "Untie the rope and let him down."
The soldiers guarding the city responded and pulled Casas up first.
In fact, they could have cut the rope with a sword and let him fall, but from what Elder Shan Tai said, it was obvious that he wanted to humiliate him, so the officers and soldiers had to pull Casas up first.
Casas was obviously unconscious. They had seen the effect of the drug with their own eyes, so they were not worried about what Casas would do.
The officer who untied the rope sighed softly.
What this prince did was worse than that of an ordinary citizen.
The moment he stood up, something strange happened!
Casas, who should have been eager to release him, pounced on Shan Tai like a tiger and strangled him tightly!
!!!
After taking the medicine, Casas became incredibly strong, and Shan Tai started to make a gurgling sound in his throat.
He pinched Shan Tai and walked to the city wall. Considering Shan Tai, the officials next to him did not dare to approach.
"Still want to humiliate me?" Casas said with a sneer on his face. "To tell you the truth, I've been hoping for Nan Gu's death for a long time. As long as Nan Gu is dead, my own death won't matter. Having you accompany me on my journey to the underworld is even better!"
Shan Tai's face had turned purple due to suffocation, and his struggle had weakened. His eyeballs seemed to be bulging out as he stared at Casas.
The people below could not see the mutation on the city wall at first, until Casas pushed Shan Tai to the gap and everyone could see it clearly.
There was a sudden uproar.
Jiang Zhiyu winked at Jiang Wenjing, and Jiang Wenjing rode his horse slowly to the side.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on the city wall, and no one noticed him.
Casas' will was already blurred. He held on to the last bit of consciousness and looked at Jiang Zhiyu. Then, as if all his strength was gone, he grabbed Shan Tai and fell down!
“Elder!”
A scream came, and Casas had no strength left. He let go of Shan Tai the moment he fell.
Amidst exclamations, Jiang Wenjing rode his horse to rescue Casas, and rushed towards the city gate, stepping on Shan Tai's body.
With a loud bang, the tightly closed city gate was blown into pieces, and even the city wall above the gate seemed to be cracked.
The Nan Gu people were all frightened by the deafening sound and froze in place. When they came to their senses, Jiang Zhiyu and the others had already left...
…
"What?! Shan Tai is dead? The city gate was also blown open?!"
King Nan Gu looked incredulous.
The guard who came to report stammered, "No, not only the city gate, but even the city wall was collapsed..."
King Nan Gu took a deep breath.
"Is gunpowder so powerful?"
