Chapter 107 The climax of the snow maggot is about to begin, let us welcome the protagonist Yi...
When Qin Yuqing's voice fell, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Lord Li.
Lord Li wiped the nonexistent beads of sweat from his forehead and said in a fawning and servile manner, "Sixth Princess, you're joking. How can life in Yongzhou compare to that in the capital?"
"Oh? Is that so?" Qin Yuqing looked at the expensive food on the table. Even bear paws and deer antlers were just side dishes on this table.
However, a banquet of this scale is extremely rare even in the capital.
Qin Yuqing still remembered that neither the royal banquet she had just attended after entering the book, nor the banquet hosted by the fifth princess Qin Youran at Chunshanting, had been of such a scale.
When Lord Li saw that Qin Yuqing's eyes were fixed on the food on the table, he understood what Qin Yuqing meant by what she had just said.
"I'm afraid the Sixth Princess has misunderstood."
Hearing this, Qin Yuqing withdrew her gaze, sat down at the table beside her, and picked up a pair of crystal white chopsticks. They felt cool and warm when she touched them.
Tsk, even the chopsticks are made of fine white jade.
"These dishes were specially prepared by the people of Yongzhou when they heard that you and your group were coming."
"Prepared specially?"
Qin Yuqing put the chopsticks aside, picked up the other small plates and bowls and examined them carefully. They were all made of the finest white jade.
Everything on the table, including food and dishes, would be enough to feed three cities for a month if converted into grain.
"Yes." Lord Li walked forward eagerly, took out a small wine jar from his arms, opened the lid, and poured the wine into the small pot in front of Qin Yuqing.
"I've heard that the Sixth Princess can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. This wine was specially prepared for her."
Li Muyan stood behind Qin Yuqing. Without the interference of the strange "insect", his mind was unusually clear. Looking at Lord Li's behavior, Li Muyan frowned.
When he saw Lord Li pouring wine into the Sixth Princess's glass, he could no longer hold back and took a step forward and was about to speak.
Qin Yuqing waved her hand, signaling Li Muyan to calm down. Then she looked at Lord Li and said with a smile, "Lord Li, there is no need to test me. It's a waste of time, effort, and energy."
Lord Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then the flattering look on his face disappeared. He looked at the Sixth Princess Qin Yuqing kindly, put the wine pot aside, and said happily.
"As expected of the Sixth Princess Qin Yuqing, nothing can be hidden from you."
"Hide? Lord Li, you didn't want to hide it from me from the beginning, right?" Qin Yuqing relaxed his body, looked lazily at the wine on the table, then picked it up and smelled it.
“Good wine.”
Lord Li laughed and patted the wine pot, his tone filled with pride and pride: "This wine was buried with Madam when she was pregnant with Ah Yan."
Qin Yuqing took a sip of the wine. The wine was mellow, smooth and mellow. It had a strong taste but did not irritate the throat. It was indeed a good wine.
"Father." Li Muyan looked at the wine in front of him, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, but he changed his mind and thought, according to Lord Li's meaning, this wine is...
Daughter's Red Wine?!
It’s still Li Muyan’s...daughter’s red wine!
"Everyone said at the time that the lady was pregnant with a girl, but who knew that the baby that arrived full term was actually a fat boy!"
Lord Li hammered the table as he spoke, looking at Li Muyan with a hint of disgust.
Li Muyan: Although I have known for many years that my father likes his daughter, I still feel a little heartbroken when I see his disdainful look.
"So, Lord Li didn't invite us here to chat, right?" Qin Yuqing looked at Lu Jingchuan and saw that he had opened the window.
This is the highest place in Yongzhou. You can see the whole Yongzhou by opening the window.
There are more street vendors than during the day, and more people are strolling on the streets, many of whom have happy smiles on their faces.
Just like in the modern world, some scenic spots or parks with night views often have the most people late at night.
"I won't hide it anymore." Lord Li of Yongzhou put the wine pot on the table, walked over and pulled Li Muyan over, then knelt on the ground and said.
"I beg the Sixth Princess to save Great Yin."
As Lord Li finished speaking, a violent storm suddenly arose all around. Countless windows were blown open by the strong wind, and countless candles were extinguished at the same time.
In the darkness, Qin Yuqing smelled the familiar scent of plum blossoms appearing beside her, and she silently curled the corners of her lips.
In this scene, the stage finally began to reach its climax.
"Chun Tao and Yao Yu, protect Lord Li and the head of the Yao family. Xiao Wu protect Xiao Lu. The rest of you should be alert!" Qin Yuqing took out a longbow with his backhand.
In fact, no one knew that when Qin Yuqing used a longbow during the day, he would be affected by the light.
Whether in modern times or in this imaginary world of book transmission, Qin Yuqing has a problem with her eyes that cannot be exposed to strong light. This problem has always existed since she entered the book, but Qin Yuqing does not show it.
Now, it's dark.
The hunt has truly begun.
There was a subtle sound behind him. Qin Yuqing turned sideways, drew the bow with his backhand and shot directly. There was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by the sound of dripping sticky water in the room.
Qin Yuqing drew her bow again, not affected by any external influence at all. On the contrary, it was dark, and her vision was better. She shot arrow after arrow without stopping.
Lu Jingchuan followed Qin Yuqing's long arrow. Wherever the long arrow landed, Lu Jingchuan's long sword would follow and kill other "enemies".
Lord Li and Yao Zhentian, the head of the Yao family, who were gradually becoming familiar with the night, had undisguised surprise in their eyes. They knew that the sixth princess Qin Yuqing was very good at archery.
But looking at the mess in front of him, he and Qin Yuqing didn't stop at all.
This, this, this, this!
Wouldn't she get tired? Wouldn't she aim? Was she still human?
Qin Yuqing listened to the increasingly sticky sounds of water around her. Her eyes swept over the corpses pierced by the long arrows. They all turned into a pool of neither liquid nor solid matter.
"Lu Jingchuan, there's something wrong with these things." Qin Yuqing shot four arrows at once and said loudly.
"Yeah." Lu Jingchuan shook off the dark brown liquid on the long arrow and said coldly, "Chun Tao, take everyone away."
After Lu Jingchuan's voice fell, Chuntao whispered to Lord Li and Patriarch Yao, "I'm sorry." Then she jumped down from the nearest window carrying the two old men.
Xiao Wu picked up the deer and ran away with Chun Tao.
Li Muyan was still hesitating and hadn't reacted to what was happening when Yao Yu pulled him to the window and kicked him out.
"Yao Yu! You brat!" Li Muyan still had some skills left. He staggered to the ground and said with gritted teeth as he looked at Yao Yu who was floating down.
"You can't talk nicely! If I didn't have some martial arts skills, I would be dead if I fell from such a height!"
Yao Yu clapped his hands, looked at Li Muyan with disdain, and said in a cold voice: "If I don't do this, will you jump down immediately?"
"I!"
"You won't, because you don't trust the Sixth Princess."
After saying that, Yao Yu ignored Li Muyan's expression and looked up at the sky with concern. Countless soldiers jumped out from the windows all around and gathered around them.
Xiao Wu supported Xiao Lu and stood in the center of the soldiers. They knew that they were the least able to protect themselves among their group, so they had to ensure their own safety as much as possible and not cause trouble for the Sixth Princess Qin Yuqing and Lu Jingchuan, the son of the Lu family.
Soon, everyone in the room left. Qin Yuqing and Lu Jingchuan stood back to back, one took out a tinderbox and the other took out a dagger.
"Aruan, your blood can make these things inactive!" This time, Lu Jingchuan explained quickly.
"Your blood has absorbed the snow lotus from the southern snow mountains. It is the strongest poison to the snow maggots that grow in the snow lotus!"
Qin Yuqing cut his arm directly, and blood dripped onto the tinder. The tinder, which should have been extinguished, emitted an even stronger light.
"Let's go." Lu Jingchuan threw the letter in his hand out.
"Okay." Qin Yuqing shot the last long arrow and jumped out from different windows with Lu Jingchuan.
While Qin Yuqing and Lu Jingchuan were still in mid-air, there was a sound of explosion from upstairs, followed by a sound like a child crying.
As the flames burned, the sound of the child's crying became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared.
Lord Li stepped forward, tears in his eyes. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and said to Qin Yuqing devoutly, "Please, Sixth Princess, grant me a drop of blood."
Lu Jingchuan stood in front of Qin Yuqing, his eyes filled with murderous intent, looking straight at Lord Li without any concealment.
Now, Lord Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his eyes full of confusion. Why would Lu Jingchuan, the son of the Lu family, be so hostile to him?
Qin Yuqing patted Lu Jingchuan's hand, signaling him to relax. She probably knew why Lu Jingchuan was so hostile towards Lord Li.
After all, in the time and space that Lu Jingchuan had experienced, Lord Li was controlled by the "worms" planted by Yu Bingyan. They must be the snow maggots that Lu Jingchuan had just mentioned, which eventually killed many people.
But Qin Yuqing believed that the Lord Li in front of him had not been completely controlled, and he still had a trace of his own clear consciousness.
"Why?" Qin Yuqing looked at the blood dripping from his arm to the ground, and there was a hint of temptation in his voice.
"Tell me why you want my blood?"
Lord Li pushed away Li Muyan's support and even forced Li Muyan to kneel down with him. An old and painful voice sounded.
"I know I have committed serious sins, but my time is running out."
Qin Yuqing didn't say anything, but looked down at Lord Li.
"When Yu Bingyan, the young master of the Yu family, was still young, he found our Li family and secretly rained snow maggots on everyone in our Li family."
"At first, no one in the mansion noticed anything was wrong. It wasn't until a few years later, when servants began to commit suicide uncontrollably, and as more and more people started to commit suicide, I realized something was wrong."
"All those who commit suicide have black lines on their faces, pupils, and skin. What makes me even more terrified is that my wife also has the same black lines on her body."
Having said this, Lord Li closed his eyes in pain, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye, and when he opened his eyes again, there was only overwhelming, scarlet hatred.
"The lady was controlled and forced to harm the people. Whenever she regained consciousness, she knew she had hurt the people and was in so much pain that she had no choice but to lock herself up in chains in a high tower."
Li Muyan looked at Lord Li in disbelief, his tone was a little unbelievable: "Father, you mean mother is still alive, she is still alive."
Lord Li's tears were surging. He mocked his own uselessness, "But is the Madam still alive? Perhaps the person controlling her realized she couldn't escape their control and stopped caring about her."
"But the lady was worried that she would harm others again, so she locked herself in the tower. She loved her children and the people so much, but for the sake of Great Yin, she imprisoned herself in a dark room."
"Therefore, I beg the Sixth Princess to save us."
