If it were an ordinary, non-venomous snake, Gu Nian wouldn't be afraid, but this color meant it was highly venomous. Even though Gu Xin had given her some pills, if she were tied up and bitten, she wouldn't have a chance to get the pills.
The masked man stretched out his hand, and the snake coiled around his wrist a few times before flicking its tongue at Gu Nian.
The masked man looked at Gu Nian: "Second Miss Gu, are you scared? I'll take you to see General Xue then! If he doesn't withdraw his troops, I won't get to know you so quickly. I'll let General Xue watch my Little Red play with you. If he can stand it, then Second Miss Gu, I can tell you with absolute certainty, this man is no good. Luckily, you haven't developed feelings for him yet. Second Miss Gu, tell me, am I a good person?"
Gu Nian calmly looked at the masked man.
The masked man chuckled to himself, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the sweat from Gu Nian's forehead: "Don't pretend to be so calm, you're sweating. Alas, what a pity for such a beauty! If it weren't for my people, I would have liked to take you to bed for some fun."
Ignore those disgusting words and focus on the important points, my people.
Could this person be the King of Southern Xinjiang?
Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe joined the Peng family army and learned about the neighboring countries. She had heard Princess Jinghe mention that the King of Southern Xinjiang was very tall and strong, but his appearance was extremely ugly because he usually played with poisonous snakes and insects, probably because he was poisoned when he first started playing with them.
How can she get this person to let her speak?
This person clearly wasn't going to give her a chance to speak; they were being very cautious.
And there was the venomous snake coiled on that man's arm; she dared not speak rashly, lest the snake bite her and she be finished.
The masked man sighed softly, lowering his arm slightly: "Little Red, go outside for a walk and check out the surroundings. I've rested enough; we should continue our journey back."
The snake climbed off his arm and slithered away.
Gu Nian looked incredulous. She believed you could control large animals, but she really didn't believe you could control a snake and make it understand her words.
At most, you can control whether they attack or not, yet you expect them to keep watch for you?
This southern Xinjiang must be a mutation, it's so bizarre.
Before she could think further, the masked man stood up, hoisted Gu Nian onto his shoulder, and said as he walked, "Little beauty, you're too cunning. I have no choice but to let you do this. It's not comfortable carrying you, but you're not as obedient as little animals! Sigh!"
Gu Nian struggled for a moment; being carried like this was really uncomfortable and made her feel dizzy.
It was pitch black outside, and Gu Nian, being carried, had no sense of direction at all.
Moreover, the masked man didn't care at all that he was carrying a person on his shoulder, and he rampaged through the forest. Gu Nian was pricked by the thorny trees in the forest, and there were marks on his face.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, dawn broke.
After a day and a night without food or water, Gu Nian was completely exhausted.
The masked man finally remembered this. He took the water pouch and handed it to Gu Nian. Then, looking at Gu Nian who was tied up and unable to move, he laughed and said, "I forgot you were tied up."
He removed the gag from Gu Nian's mouth and fed her water.
At this moment, Gu Nian couldn't care less about anything else; she couldn't go without water.
After drinking the water, she tried to get some information out of him, but the masked man really didn't give her a chance to speak, being extremely cautious.
Gu Nian: "..."
