Chapter 168 How do you feel?
Ye Lanzhou said nothing and closed the lid. The servant's Adam's apple rolled and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"What's your name?" Ye Lanzhou asked suddenly.
The man realized he was being addressed and quickly replied, "Achang."
"How do you feel?" Ye Lanzhou pointed at his wrist and motioned him to look over.
There was nothing wrong with his wrist originally, but after she pointed at it, he felt a tingling sensation in his wrist, as if a bug was gnawing at his flesh.
He looked down and saw two insect-like things twisting under his skin at his wrists. Originally, they were just on his wrists, but later they showed a tendency to move upwards.
He quickly pressed down on his wrists, trying to stop the two worms from moving up, but the two worms were very active and bypassed his fingers and went towards his upper arms.
When he thought about the worms crawling around in his body for the past two days, he felt his stomach churning and couldn't help vomiting.
Everyone was also frightened by this scene. Ye Lanzhou waved his hand and dismissed everyone, leaving only Achang.
Ah Chang wiped the corner of his mouth, knelt down at Ye Lanzhou's feet, and begged, "It's not me, girl, why did you put this thing on me..."
Ye Lanzhou reacted very quickly and took a step back, leaving Achang empty-handed. He thought to himself that this guy was really tough on his words. The golden silkworm Gu had revived the twin Gu. As long as the two Gu worms got close to their original owner, they would return to the owner's body.
If he wanted to see her, he would live; if he didn't, he would sleep forever. Now both poisonous insects were inside him, and they would not stop until they had completely eaten away his internal organs.
Ye Lanzhou didn't open his mouth to explain. This Achang was the owner of the twin Gu, so he must have known the consequences. Ye Lanzhou looked at Xie Chengyan standing not far away and asked, "How does the prince plan to deal with this?"
Ah Chang hadn't noticed Xie Chengyan standing nearby. He was like he had found a lifeline and said, "Your Majesty, I was wrongly accused. I have followed you for so many years, how could I have stolen your military intelligence?"
Xie Chengyan was annoyed by his cries, so he asked Jian Xing to drag him away and lock him up in the woodshed. He gave him some food every day and left him to fend for himself.
He was about to ask Ye Lanzhou to go back and rest, but before he could say anything, Zhang Qiyue entered the Rui Palace. The palace staff knew he was the prince's subordinate and hurried in to report, but how could the people at the door stop him?
Seeing this, Xie Chengyan knew that something was wrong, so he dismissed everyone and went into the study with him.
When no one was around, Zhang Qiyue finally spoke up, saying, "Marshal Lu's deputy general has returned to the capital, saying your gunpowder hasn't arrived yet, and Marshal Lu is still using last year's stockpile."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Chengyan frowned unconsciously, thinking that this matter was strange. The gunpowder had been divided into two batches and shipped over one after another. It was recorded in the books of the Ministry of War. It should have arrived by now.
How come I can’t receive it?
Could it be that Pei Ge Lao was behind this again? But that shouldn't be the case. A while ago, Xie Zhaohe openly rebuked Pei Ge Lao for his avoidance of battle in the court and personally restored the progress of the Shenji Camp. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Pei Ge Lao to intervene again.
The new Minister of War is a fence-sitter who will follow whoever is in power. This makes it even more unlikely that something went wrong with the Ministry of War.
Xie Chengyan asked, "What about the deputy general?"
"I ran here all night, I'm exhausted, I've worn out two horses, I'm waiting at the door."
As he spoke, he handed Xie Chengyan a letter.
