Chapter 347 It Was a Wrong Pay After All
Zhou Yuande was so frightened when he heard this that he wanted to persuade Xiao Jingfan to return to the palace.
Saving the Grand Tutor and His Royal Highness Prince Rui is important, but His Majesty's safety is more important.
After Xiao Jingfan heard this, his frown slowly relaxed and he ordered, "Keep on your way."
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yao asked, "Aren't you worried?"
Xiao Jingfan was worried just now, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips: "If Yin Lanci really had such ability, there would be more than just Ji An coming today."
Jiang Yao didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
[It seems that Miao Wu didn't tell Junior Sister that the price of using the Netherworld Gu is lifespan. The Tyrant seems to have guessed something.]
Chu Liuzheng glanced at Xiao Jingfan and continued to look at the information retrieved from the system.
[The Netherworld Gu is indeed very powerful, and can be called the king of all Gu. However, the more powerful the Gu, the greater the cost of using it.]
[The Netherworld Gu resides near the host's heart meridian. Although it can protect the host from death, each time the host uses the Netherworld Gu, it will eat away at the heart meridian a little bit. Once the heart meridian is completely eaten away, the host will die.]
[Yin Lanci still wanted to overthrow Dasheng and become the empress. How could she possibly use the Netherworld Gu without limit and end up losing her life in the end?]
Chu Liuzheng flipped through the pages.
[Sure enough! Over the years, Yin Lanci has raised a total of six Nine-Eyed Gu, and they all parasitized people who were already highly skilled in martial arts. Only Ji An was an exception.]
[Hmm... Ji An wasn't destined to die. Although he doesn't know martial arts, he just happens to have the physique that the Nine-Eyed Gu likes.]
When Yin Lanci passed through Xinbao City, the Netherworld Gu suddenly became agitated, affecting the Nine-Eyed Gu and causing it to flee. By the time Yin Lanci had calmed the Netherworld Gu and gone back, the Nine-Eyed Gu had already entered Ji An's body. Not wanting to waste the Nine-Eyed Gu, Yin Lanci reluctantly accepted the situation and took Ji An away to be trained as a medicine man.
If Xiao Jingfan was just guessing just now, now he was sure after hearing Chu Liuzheng's voice.
He had doubts in his mind when he heard Jiang Yao talk about the Netherworld Gu before.
Since the Netherworld Gu is immortal, its owner can live as long as it is in his body. Doesn't that mean his owner can live forever?
But this is obviously impossible.
If the Netherworld Gu could really protect its master from death, even if it only allowed him to live another ten or twenty years, it would have been taken away by his ancestors long ago. How could it have been left in the hands of the Miao witches and passed down from generation to generation?
According to Jiang Yao, every Miao witch is very cautious when using the Netherworld Gu, and will only use it when it comes to matters of life and death.
Jiang Yao thought that this was to highlight the importance of the Netherworld Gu, protect the status of the Miao witch, and maintain the mystery of the Netherworld Gu.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons, but Xiao Jingfan feels that the more likely possibility is that using the Netherworld Gu will come at a price that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
And what price could be more unbearable than life?
After all, even if you are the emperor who rules the world, you are just like ordinary people and are born with only one life.
After figuring this out, Xiao Jingfan felt that even if Yin Lanci could train medicine men, the number would not be large.
No matter how skilled a martial arts master is, he will eventually run out of strength. How can he compete with an army?
So, there is no need to worry for the time being.
Facing Jiang Yao's question, Xiao Jingfan did not explain, but looked at Chu Liuzheng: "One carriage is destroyed, and there is not much distance left. Do you want to ride a horse?"
Chu Liuzheng was a little moved.
She wasn't afraid of riding with Chen Xing. It was only three miles away, and they would be there soon. Her butt shouldn't hurt much.
Of course, the main reason was that she really didn't want to be tossed around in the carriage anymore!
You can also enjoy the scenery along the way while riding a horse.
After making the decision, Chu Liuzheng turned around to look for Chen Xing: "Chen Xing, I'll talk to you later--"
Before she could finish, Chen Xing said quickly, "I'll take a carriage and study the poison in Ji An's body with Doctor Feng, right, Doctor Feng?"
Feng Jing:?
You don’t know medicine, so what can you research?
He refused to research with non-professionals. Just as he was about to decline, Mitsuki stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve: "We just agreed on this. Do you want to go back on your word?"
Feng Jing: ? ?
When did we agree on this? How come he doesn’t know?
Si Yue winked at him and thought to himself that no wonder this man had been hunted by Doctor Qin with silver needles. With such eyesight, it would be a great honor for him to be able to marry a wife in this life.
Although Feng Jing didn't understand, he thought that Siyue was a person who knew how to use poison, which was better than Chenxing, so he agreed.
As a result, Chu Liuzheng's second and third hitchhikers were gone.
Now they want to change their mind and take a carriage. These three plus Ji An, Ping Yu, Jiang Yao, and maybe Tong Niang, there are already seven people, and it will be difficult to fit them all.
The only acquaintances left were Lu Fei and Zhou Yuande. Although there were still a group of guards, she was afraid of riding a horse and felt uneasy if they were not acquaintances.
So, she first took a look at Eunuch Zhou's belly, which was smaller but still very noticeable, and decisively chose Lu Fei.
Receiving the sharp glance from his own Majesty, Lu Fei calmly declined, "I have to be on guard duty, so it's not convenient for me to bring the girl along."
Zhou Yuande, who was standing aside, glanced at Xiao Jingfan, whose face had turned black, and said very consciously that with his weight, it would be hard enough for the horse to carry him alone, and if another person was added, the horse would probably be overwhelmed and would not be able to carry anyone.
Chu Liuzheng, who felt rejected, said: "..."
【嘤~ It was a wrong decision after all! 】
She stood on tiptoe and looked at the remaining carriage.
The carriage roof is quite spacious. How about I sit on it?
[Not only was there no one squeezing me, but even if I tied it up with a rope, it wouldn't fall off, so I could get there in one nap.]
If you can't sleep, you can enjoy the scenery. Sitting high up, you can see far away. The natural scenery is beautiful. Add some sunflower seeds, snacks, and tea. It's a perfect spring outing! It's simply perfect! !
Xiao Jingfan, who was the first to bring it up but was completely ignored: "..."
He gritted his teeth, and seeing that Chu Liuzheng was really going to use a hemp rope to tie him up on the roof of the car, he could not help but speak coldly: "Chu Liuzheng."
Chu Liuzheng was just calculating how long the hemp rope would be when he heard Xiao Jingfan's call. He immediately walked over and looked at him, "Master, what do you want?"
Her almond-shaped eyes were as clear as water, and her expression was very innocent.
This woman didn't even notice anything was wrong!
Xiao Jingfan felt chest tightness.
Isn't she usually very good at reading people's expressions? Where did Linglong's thoughts go?
"Follow me." He walked towards the place where the horses were tied with a cold face. Chu Liuzheng followed him in confusion, thinking secretly in his heart.
[Would the tyrant be so mad as to make me ride a horse alone?]
She looked at the tall figure in front of her, and the more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
[Wow~ If a tyrant weren't so ruthless, he wouldn't be called a tyrant! What should I do? Will I get trampled to death by a horse's hoof because of my poor riding skills?]
Xiao Jingfan's ears were filled with muttering: "..."
This woman doesn't think about what she should think about, but thinks about a lot of things she shouldn't think about. It's really... It makes me angry!
"Go and feed it." Xiao Jingfan stopped and took out two peanut candies from his pouch and handed them to Chu Liuzheng.
