179. Chapter 179 Shi Jingjing, you and I are just foils!



system:……

It knew it would be like this!

Damn it, I’ve been tricked by the host again!

After Ten and Thirteen came back, the team continued to move forward.

There was a calm period for several days without any incidents, but that’s not right, there was still one person missing.

Chen Wu.

Considering what happened, Shangguan Zhi would no longer trust this person.

Chu You found a reason to convict him and sent people to escort him back to Beijing to be interrogated by the Ministry of Justice.

In the following days, the more normal the situation became, the more uneasy Chu You felt.

He always felt that this matter would not end here.

Although he looked normal on the surface, Chu Yaoyao was still keenly aware of his emotions.

She began to draw madly, hoping to draw more plot fragments, but apart from elixirs and talismans, all she got was a bunch of useless things.

[System, I want to see the images of the Fifth Prince's Mansion in Xiyue, why can't I?! ]

System: The distance is too far.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yaoyao collapsed instantly.

【What use is there for you! 】

The Fifth Prince's Mansion of Xiyue.

In the courtyard where the guards lived, Shangguan Zhi looked at the doctor with a gloomy face, "How are the four of them? When will they wake up?"

The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied tremblingly: "To answer the Fifth Prince, perhaps my medical skills are not very good. The internal injuries of these four people are not serious, but they have injured their heads. I have used all the methods I can use. The only thing I can do now is..."

The doctor glanced at him and big beads of sweat fell from his forehead.

"We can only wait. Maybe he will wake up soon, or maybe... he will never wake up again."

"You're talking nonsense!"

A woman in a guard's uniform grabbed the doctor by the collar and glared at him fiercely.

"How many times has Mozhu's life been on the line over the years? He has survived every time, and he will be fine this time too!"

Mo Zhou stepped forward and pulled her away, "Xiao Die, don't do this."

Shangguan Zhi waved his hand and asked someone to take the doctor away, then he looked at Mo Die.

"What exactly happened that day? Tell me again in detail!"

Mo Die wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "That day, my subordinates led people to ambush at the designated location, but Da Qi's team had already walked out of the explosion range, and there was no sound over there."

"I felt something was wrong and was about to check it out when I heard a loud noise."

Shangguan Zhi stared at her closely, "Are you sure it only rang once?"

Mo Die looked at him and nodded firmly, "I am sure, just one word."

In the past few days, she has heard this question more than once and has been recalling the scene over and over again.

When she arrived nearby, she just saw several people falling from the rock wall!

Shangguan Zhi's brows furrowed.

The four men were examined, and apart from the bruises on their backs from hitting the rocks, they had almost no external injuries.

This is definitely not caused by explosives! What is going on?

"Are you sure there are no signs of burning around?"

He stared at Mo Die closely.

Mo Die frowned and recalled carefully, "I also find it strange. If there hadn't been a hole on the ground and the big rock hadn't been pushed away, I would have thought that Mo Zhu and the others were just pretending."

Suddenly, she knelt on the ground and begged desperately, "Your Highness, please ask the imperial physician to come to Mozhu to see you, I beg you!"

Shangguan Zhi closed his eyes tightly, feeling very conflicted.

If we ask the imperial physician to come in, I'm afraid this matter can't be kept secret.

At this time, a servant ran out of the room, shouting excitedly, "Your Highness, Guard Mozhu is awake!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Several people ran into the room quickly and saw Mo Zhu leaning against the head of the bed, rubbing his head.

"Mozhu, are you okay?"

Mo Die rushed over and held his hand tightly.

Looking at her, a trace of confusion flashed across Mo Zhu's eyes.

"How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Mo Die looked him up and down.

"Xiao Die, please speak louder. I can't hear you clearly. Is your throat damaged?"

Mo Die covered her mouth instantly, tears slowly sliding down her moist eyes.

Shangguan Zhi and Mo Zhou looked at each other and said, "Quick, go find a doctor!"

Noticing him, Mo Zhu got off the bed and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, I am incompetent and have not completed the task."

Shangguan Zhi walked aside and wrote two lines on the paper.

Mo Zhu took a look and then answered his questions one by one.

"It seems that Chen Wu changed his mind at the last minute and betrayed us. The explosives in the barrel are also missing."

“It’s a small round ball.”

As he spoke, he put his thumb and index finger together to compare their sizes, "After we landed on the ground, we were thrown open and hit the stone wall!"

At this point, Mo Zhu's expression turned into horror.

It was really weird! Before he passed out, he took a dazed look and saw that it was clearly the power of the bomb, but there was no sign of burning around him.

If it weren't for the pain in my body that made me unable to move, then everything would have seemed like an illusion! After hearing his words, Shangguan Zhi's face turned ugly.

Did Daqi create some new weapon? "You should take a good rest."

After giving these instructions casually, he strode out of the room.

After he left, Mo Die hurriedly helped Mo Zhu up.

Looking at the handwriting on the paper, her eyes darkened for a moment.

Mo Zhu was so badly injured, but His Highness didn't even say a word of concern? And just now, His Highness hesitated. He didn't want to ask the imperial physician at all.

After leaving Mo Zhu's room, Shangguan Zhi hurried to the yard where Shi Jingjing was imprisoned.

Shangguan opened the door and walked in. Looking at the haggard figure sitting on the chair, he was in a trance for a moment.

I still remember the first time we met, her cleverness, scheming and ambition were all written all over her face.

But now, it seemed like I hadn't seen any emotion other than disgust and ridicule on her face for a long time.

Thinking of this, he felt a hint of guilt in his heart, but it only lasted for a moment.

"I came here today because I have something to ask you."

Hearing this, Shi Jingjing raised a mocking smile and glanced at him with her eyelids raised.

"Fifth Prince, you are really embarrassing me. Do you need to ask in person what you want to know?!"

Shangguan Zhi took two steps closer and said, "I know you hate me, but if you were willing to cooperate, why would it have come to this?"

However, Shi Jingjing simply closed her eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Do you know that there is a kind of explosive that will only cause internal injuries to people after it explodes, without any external damage?"

Shangguan Zhi slowly told the story of what happened to Mo Zhu.

Hearing this, Shi Jingjing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her hands under the table tightly grasped the hem of her skirt.

If it is really as he said, that kind of thing could never be made in this era.

Even in her original world, the level of technology had not developed to this level!

unless……

Noticing her subtle emotional fluctuations, Shangguan Zhi stared at her intently, with a barely perceptible excitement in his tone.

“You know!”

Shi Jingjing raised her head, with pity in her eyes, both for Shangguan Zhi and for herself.

"You can't beat him."

How could an ancient person possibly defeat a time traveler with a golden finger?

Shangguan Zhi strode forward, grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard, his eyes were cold and he looked at her with gritted teeth.

"What do you mean by that?!"

"Hahaha……"

Shi Jingjing suddenly threw her head back and laughed a few times, her voice sounding crazy and creepy.

"You can't beat him, and I can't beat him either!"

As she laughed, tears gradually formed in the corners of her eyes.

She had been wondering before, why?

Since she was allowed to travel here, she should be the heroine of this world.

Why did she have to endure this? Now she knew that the knowledge and insights that she was proud of, which were beyond this era, were worthless in front of the golden finger of that time traveler! Seeing her like she was in a crazy state, Shangguan Zhi was a little dazed.

Shi Jingjing took the opportunity to push him away, then stood up suddenly.

She pointed at Shangguan Zhi with a distorted expression, "A foil!"

"You! Me! All of us are just foils!"

Shi Jingjing grabbed her hair randomly and frantically. Her hair, which had not been well-groomed to begin with, became a mess, which matched her distorted face.

More like a madman!

"Why?!"
