"Are you a dog? Last time you bit my shoulder, and this time you're biting my hand?"
Just as she was getting angry and cursing, she saw Yuwen Sheng open his mouth and vomit. However, since there was nothing in his stomach, he only vomited some sour water and the braised meat he had just been eating.
Zheng Quchi was stunned for a moment, then quickly squatted down: "What's wrong with you?"
Yuwen Sheng didn't say anything, but the veins in his neck bulged and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, indicating that he was in great discomfort.
“Master, your hand…” Gan Xin frowned with worry.
But Zheng Quchi didn't care about this small wound; she always felt that Yuwen Sheng's current condition was not good.
Afterwards, she fed him some steamed buns. Since he felt nauseous from eating meat, what about something bland? But he absolutely refused to eat. He wouldn't eat anything except water. Even if she tried her best to coax him into taking a bite, he would vomit it all up the next second.
Zheng Quchi finally noticed the problem and quickly ran to ask Leqi, "Why can't he eat?"
Lech knew who she was asking about. He had been through a lot these days, so he didn't put on airs and just said listlessly, "He can't eat anything except blood."
Zheng Quchi remained silent for a long time, but he did not possess the fearless spirit of sacrificing himself.
She wanted to try it, so she had the soldiers find some prey, put a bowl of its blood in it and brought it to him. He drank it at first, but later he vomited it all up.
Zheng Quchi thought Taiqi was lying to her, so she went to him again: "Didn't you say he drank blood? Why are you still vomiting?"
"The blood is wrong."
The blood is not right?
It took Zheng Quchi a while to react before he exclaimed in surprise, "Don't tell me he won't drink anything that isn't human blood?"
“That’s right, the human blood is for the poison in his body to drink. If you don’t appease it, he won’t be able to eat anything.”
If he continues like this, won't he starve to death?
As soon as Zheng Quchi returned to the camp, she hurriedly discussed the matter with Wang Zebang and the others. Upon hearing her explanation, all three of them turned pale.
They naturally understood everything she could think of, but now they were confused about what to do.
Wei Yao slammed his hand on the table, trembling all over: "The matter of curing the Gu is urgent, but Leqi refuses to reveal anything. He is like a person who has gone mad. He believes that as long as he follows his faith, he can lead the Kezhu tribe to glory."
Zheng Quchi calmly replied, "But once his faith is shattered, I believe he will naturally return to reality and understand how to make a choice."
Lechi is currently the only person they can contact who understands "Phoenix Tears," so if they want to obtain information on how to cure the curse, they must start with him.
Wang Zebang had been in a heavy mood lately, so anxious that his lips were cracked and burning. He looked at Zheng Quchi and asked, "What does Madam think we should do?"
"Find the force behind the Kezhu tribe and destroy it!"
They were not surprised by Zheng Quchi's words, and even secretly intended to do so as well.
“Actually, we have a general idea of the forces behind the Kezhu tribe,” Fu Rong said.
Zheng Quchi immediately asked, "What do you mean?"
Fu Rong turned around and called out to the outside of the tent, "Yan Hong, come in."
At his summons, a beautiful and tall woman lifted the curtain and entered. She gracefully bowed to Zheng Quchi: "Commander Yan Hong of the Vermilion Bird Clan greets Madam."
"I never imagined that Commander Suzaku would be so young and beautiful. Truly, outstanding strength transcends gender and age," Zheng Quchi said sincerely after looking her over.
Upon hearing this, Yan Hong pursed her red lips and smiled sweetly: "Yan Hong is far inferior to Madam."
Fu Rong reminded her, "Yan Hong, tell Madam what you found out from the Xidi tribe and Kezhu."
"yes."
It turns out that Yan Hong was the beauty Yuwen Sheng arranged for the Xidi tribe to use as a "honey trap." She bewitched the Xidi tribe's leader, causing him to reveal many secrets, one of which concerned the Kezhu tribe.
Unlike other barbarian tribes, the Kezhu tribe does not possess strong physiques and nomadic skills. They are more adept at underhanded tactics, which leads them to compete for territory with powerful and predatory river tribes, gradually making their living environment more difficult.
But not long ago they suddenly became very confident and even dared to challenge the Creek Tribe.
During one battle, they even discovered that the enemy was using a powerful concealed weapon that could cause the ground to crack and rocks to explode upon detonation.
Out of suspicion, they sent people to keep an eye on them every day, and finally they discovered that the Kezhu tribe was suspected of colluding with someone and that there were many outsiders hiding in the tribe.
It was only after these people arrived that the Kezhu tribe changed its previous sneaky development approach and began to build bow towers to shoot and kill passersby, harassing the border and seemingly trying to start a war.
