Chapter 40 The Lady is Playing with Snakes
"Yes! Yes! Yes..."
What is
Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci looked at Hou Yuanji who exclaimed.
Hou Yuanji had just gotten up from the ground when he was frightened by the thing behind them and his legs trembled.
His mouth seemed to have just been installed, and he couldn't utter another word for a long time.
In an instant, Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci turned around.
The guards immediately formed a V-shape and stood on both sides of the two of them.
The guards held the bracelets tightly in their hands, their eyes sharp, ready to fight the enemy.
However, when Lu Wanyue met a pair of black vertical pupils with a yellow background, he was stunned.
Looks a little familiar.
Isn't this the giant python that ate the jailer in the prison earlier?
Everyone present had seen the scene of a giant python swallowing a person, and the scene was almost deeply engraved in their minds.
The python's eyes were as big as eggs, and around its eyes were smooth scales with black and yellow markings.
"hiss!"
The head in front of him, as big as a millstone, suddenly opened, the smell of blood sprayed out, and a blood-red snake tongue stretched out from the sharp teeth.
Everyone was frightened and ran away in all directions.
The guards stood closer and could see the giant python clearly. Its body was thicker than a wooden barrel.
If you open your mouth as wide as possible, chewing three or five human heads at once should not be a problem.
Although, pythons don't chew their food.
But it eats people!
And now its belly is bulging, as if there is already a person in it.
This is not good news.
After all, given its size, it would have to swallow two or three people in one breath.
Xuan Qi had already reached out to grab Xie Jingci's arm, ready to carry Xie Jingci away at any time.
The other guards tightened and loosened their grip on the bracelet.
If they are targeting people, they can also use chains to hit people or strangle them.
But right now, it is obviously extremely dangerous.
Even so, none of the guards had any intention of retreating.
Xuan Yi kept his eyes fixed on the giant python, and said in a low voice, "Madam, please escape when you find the right opportunity. I will do my best to stop this thing."
When he spoke, he made noticeable panting sounds, which was rare.
"Need not!"
Lu Wanyin opened her arms to block the attack of her personal guards.
After seeing that it was a giant python, she gradually felt relieved.
Lu Wanyin looked at the giant python and asked softly, "You...are you here to find me?"
Previously, she accidentally discovered a giant python in the prison and controlled it to swallow several jailers.
Afterwards, they were afraid that it would be surrounded and hunted by the imperial court, so they let it hide on its own.
I didn't expect that he would follow her all the time!
The python obviously understood what she said and made a hissing sound.
With his head raised high, he created a strong breeze like a palm-leaf fan.
Then, the giant python opened its bloody mouth to the extreme, and its body began to wriggle violently.
Qin Wei was afraid that it would eat Lu Wanyin in one breath, so he subconsciously went forward to protect his master.
"Listen to her!"
Xie Jingci's voice was as dull as the sound of a drum.
His eyes were fixed on the giant python's movements, but his right hand, hanging in front of his abdomen, had already been clenched into a fist.
It can be seen that he is no less worried about Lu Wanyin than his personal guards.
However, since Lu Wanyin has shown that she can handle it.
He believed her.
Seeing this, Lu Wanyin responded with a relieved smile.
That's good. She no longer has to worry about a sneak attack or the giant python getting irritated and accidentally hurting someone.
The next moment, a black foot spit out from the python's mouth.
Everyone was horrified.
Xie Derui, who was deeply frightened, had just recovered when he saw this scene.
His neck immediately tilted and he fainted completely.
It is a very painful process for a python to vomit food out of its stomach.
It kept squirming, pressing its body against the abdomen.
He almost twisted himself into a pretzel.
The dust on the ground was stirred up by the giant python, blocking everyone's view.
But just the sound of its bodies colliding is enough to make people feel how fierce its movements are.
After a long time, the dust settled and Lu Wanyin went forward to check.
Her tone was full of excitement: "Oh, this is a gift for us."
Everyone turned their stiff heads with difficulty and looked at Lu Wanyin in disbelief.
Who the hell is this person?
Xuan Qi swallowed his saliva and said, "Madam, there is... there is a giant... python, right?"
The giant python was tired of vomiting and was coiled behind Lu Wanyin in a listless manner.
It actually revealed a bit of obedience in a strange way.
It feels as unreal as a dream.
"Don't worry, it has no intention of hurting anyone."
Lu Wanyin said, waving at Xuan Qi: "Come over here and take a look. Do you recognize this person?"
In the face of danger, the guards are determined to fight.
But there was no danger anymore, they simply didn't dare get too close to the giant python.
The guards kept exchanging glances with each other, and finally Xuan Qi walked forward with weak legs.
On the ground, the man in black was breathing out more than breathing in.
He was covered in white slime.
His face was dark purple, and his tightly closed eyelids were trembling constantly, as if he was frightened by something.
The left forearm seemed to have just been broken during the giant python's squeezing, and the blood dyed the white bones red.
Xuan Qi recognized this person, and his hatred for him was much deeper than his fear of the giant python.
He kicked hard: "It's the King of Qi!"
The King of Qi was the ninth son of the previous emperor. He tried to win over Xie Jingci but failed, so they began to compete with each other.
During the war, he did a lot of immoral things, such as withholding food and fodder, giving inferior armor, and stealing credit.
After Xie Jingci returned to Beijing, he was constantly attacked by various means.
Xuan Qi felt that poisoning food was something he could do.
Thinking of this, Xuan Qi walked to the side of the road and broke off a branch from a tree.
Use a branch to push King Qi so that he lies flat on his back.
Then he used a branch to pry open his belt, sleeves, and lapel.
Finally, a small brown medicine bottle was found in his lapel.
Xuan Qi picked it up and examined it, confirming that it was poison.
He gritted his teeth and said, "The general has been exiled, and he still didn't hesitate to chase him and poison him. For a prince to do this, he must really hate the general to the core!"
Xie Jingci thought more deeply.
According to the laws of this dynasty, not to mention princes, even ordinary officials in the capital are not allowed to leave the capital without an imperial edict.
The King of Qi must have obtained the emperor's permission to follow here.
The emperor really won't allow him to live another day.
Xie Jingci pursed his lips. If the King of Qi failed, there would be trouble in the future.
Lu Wanyin looked at these people's reactions and had an idea in her mind.
She said meaningfully, "It looks like he's been swallowed by the python for some time. I don't know if he can still survive."
Hou Yuanji came running over, tumbling and crawling: "Your Highness will definitely survive!"
"hiss!"
In response to him, the giant python's bright red tongue swayed slowly.
Hou Yuanji was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
He crawled back two steps and looked at Xie Jingci: "Prince Qi is the emperor's younger brother. If he died here, neither you nor I would be able to explain it!"
Xie Jingci withdrew his gaze from Lu Wanyin's face and smiled faintly: "I am a criminal now. The life and death of the King of Qi has nothing to do with me."
Lu Wanyin asked casually, "That's right, he was swallowed by a giant python. Whether he lives or dies, my husband can't be blamed, right?"
No one noticed that when the wind blew, some powder flew out from under her sleeves.
All of them fell on the wound of King Qi.
The King of Qi suddenly trembled violently and vomited blood.
Hou Yuanji wanted to get closer but didn't dare to, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
He shouted, "Hurry up and save him! Come and see what's happening to him!"
Lu Wanyin moved sideways and made room for herself. “I’ve never seen anyone survive after being eaten by a giant python. I can’t save him anyway. If you have a way, come on.”
Faced with Lu Wanyin's rogue attitude of "If you can do it, do it yourself", Hou Yuanji cursed her ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
He didn't even dare to get close!
He can save a shit!
