Gu Xinglang listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer to him, and his black and white eyes were gradually occupied by the blood-red color. Gu Xinglang closed his eyes, just not to look, but the sound of his heart beating and the sound of his blood flowing kept ringing in his ears, making Gu Xinglang very upset.
A palace guard stopped and called out to his companion, "What kind of insect is this?"
In the mud of the forest, more than a dozen poisonous insects were huddled together, with the brown soil and white worms, creating a sharp contrast in color.
Four imperial guards stood in front of the insect group. Since they couldn't see clearly, they squatted down.
"These don't look like maggots," a eunuch reached out to touch the ball of insects.
A white insect suddenly jumped towards the finger that was extended to him.
The palace guard slapped the white insect to death with his backhand.
When the white worm reached the hand of the imperial guard, it opened its mouth to bite, but suddenly closed its mouth and fell heavily to the ground.
The palace guard had no idea that he had walked around the gates of hell, and when he saw the white worm fall to the ground, he raised his foot to step on it.
Gu Xinglang stood behind the tree, staring at the palace guard with bloodshot eyes.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Zhuojun's voice came from behind the four palace guards.
The palace guards turned around quickly, and when they saw that the person coming was Jiang Zhuojun, they knelt on one knee and saluted Jiang Zhuojun.
Jiang Zhuojun took a look at the scattered poisonous insects on the ground, which looked like they were about to bite people, and ordered the palace guards, "You have nothing to do here, retreat."
The four palace guards were not convinced. This was the imperial palace of Fengtian. How could you, a prince of Suzaku, give orders? But the emperor had ordered that if they saw this person in the palace, it would be like seeing him in person. This person was also one of the princess's friends. How could they afford to offend such a person?
"Go," Jiang Zhuojun urged the four palace guards to leave quickly.
The four palace guards stood up and looked at the food box that Jiang Zhuojun was carrying. They couldn't understand why Prince Jiang wanted to eat in this camphor forest?
"Anything else?" Jiang Zhuojun asked the four people.
The palace guards looked up at the cold face of Prince Jiang, dared not speak anymore, lowered their heads and quickly retreated.
After the four palace guards left, the poisonous insects began to roll on the ground. Although these insects could not speak and humans could not see their expressions, Jiang Zhuojun felt that these insects were unhappy.
Gu Xinglang walked out from behind the tree.
As soon as Jiang Zhuojun saw Gu Xinglang's bloodshot eyes, he lost interest in caring about the insect. He walked to Gu Xinglang and asked, "Can't control it again?"
Gu Xinglang rubbed his eyes and said, "If I'm like this in the future, stay away from me."
Jiang Zhuojun said nonchalantly, "If you wanted to kill someone, you would have done it long ago. Why would you wait until I come back?"
Gu Xinglang raised his head and looked in the direction where the imperial guards left, and said coldly: "I want to kill them."
Jiang Zhuojun put the food box on the ground, sat down himself, and called Gu Xinglang, "Sit down. I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare a bowl of chicken blood and a bowl of duck blood. You can try them both." As he spoke, General Jiang opened the lid of the food box.
Gu Xinglang took a look at the food box. He wanted to drink raw blood. He had no appetite just looking at cooked food.
Jiang Zhuojun patted the empty seat next to him and said, "Sit down."
"Oh my god," Yu Xiaoxiao's voice reached the ears of the two people, and people also dropped from the sky. Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at the big bowl in the food box and said, "You actually ate secretly!"
Jiang Zhuojun...
Gu Xinglang...
Yu Xiaoxiao sat down on the ground, picked up a large bowl, and asked, "What is this?"
Jiang Zhuojun said: "Duck blood soup."
Gu Xinglang sat down, handed a pair of chopsticks to Yu Xiaoxiao, and said, "Why don't you eat first."
Yu Xiaoxiao ate a piece of duck blood and said, "It tastes quite fishy."
Jiang Zhuojun knew that the duck blood would not taste good, so he said to Yu Xiao: "This is made by the imperial kitchen specifically for Xinglang."
Yu Xiaoxiao chewed the duck blood and swallowed it down, saying, "It tastes good."
Jiang Zhuojun really wanted to know what was so unpalatable in the princess's food.
Yu Xiaoxiao put the duck blood soup bowl in Gu Xinglang's hand, and tried the chicken blood soup herself. The taste was still very fishy. Her Royal Highness the Princess said to her own Xiao Gu and Jiang Zhuojun: "I feel that the chefs in the imperial kitchen are pursuing the original flavor this time."
Jiang Zhuojun held his chin with his hand, watched Yu Xiaoxiao's mouth move, and said, "I only asked them to add a little salt."
Yu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked, "Xiao Jiang, is this a famous dish of your Suzaku?"
Jiang Zhuojun wanted to hide the fact that Gu Xinglang wanted to drink raw blood, but he felt that if he admitted it, it would be too unreasonable. When did chicken and duck blood become famous dishes? For a moment, General Jiang was very conflicted.
Gu Xinglang ate a piece of duck blood. It was the first time he tasted it in so many days. Yu Xiaoxiao thought it was fishy, but Gu Sanshao thought it tasted a bit sweet. Before he knew it, Gu Xinglang had eaten half a bowl.
Yu Xiaoxiao watched Gu Xinglang eating without even raising his head, and the corners of her mouth twitched. Her little Gu had always been very elegant when eating, but today he ate a bowl of duck blood soup as if he had been hungry for many meals. Suddenly, Yu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to eat the bowl of chicken blood soup in her hand, as she was afraid that her little Gu wouldn't have enough to eat.
Jiang Zhuojun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his trick worked.
Yu Xiaoxiao saw Gu Xinglang finish the duck blood soup, and handed the chicken blood soup that she had tasted to Gu Xinglang, and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"It's okay," said Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang is okay, which means Yu Xiaoxiao is fine. Yu Xiaoxiao never thought that her little Gu would like to eat chicken and duck blood soup. "He is so easy to feed," Yu Xiaoxiao touched Gu Xinglang's head.
Gu Xinglang's body stiffened.
Jiang Zhuojun reminded Yu Xiaoxiao: "Princess, you have to kill the chickens and ducks to eat this."
Yu Xiaoxiao..., yes, if you want blood, you have to kill chickens and ducks, right? No one has done experiments, chickens and ducks can survive within a certain range of blood loss.
Gu Xinglang looked at the bowl of soup in his hand and found it hard to accept for a moment. How could he think this was delicious?
Seeing that Gu Xinglang had stopped eating, Yu Xiaoxiao patted Gu Xinglang on the head and said, "It's okay, eat it. We don't need the money. If you like it, we can eat it every day in the future!" At worst, we can just sell the house! Yu Xiaoxiao thought to herself. (This is really not the case, -_-|||)
Jiang Zhuojun then asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Why is the princess here?"
Yu Xiao: "Fu Boyuan and his wife have discussed it. They want to join the gang and follow Gui Ning to conquer the world."
Jiang Zhuojun became serious and asked, "Are they sincere?"
Yu Xiao: "I don't know. Anyway, Jing Mo said that this is their true feelings. He and my father are talking to Fu Boyuan and Madam Wu at the moment. There is nothing for me to do, so I came to find Xiao Gu."
Jiang Zhuojun said: "It's a good thing that Fu Boyuan is willing to switch sides."
"I just want to join," Gu Xinglang explained to Yu Xiaoxiao without waiting for her to ask what defection meant. He had already finished the chicken blood soup in his hand.
