Tian was also completely powerless, but she still threw herself on Qi Xing and struggled with him. Qi Xing was held down and could not struggle. His hair was messed up and he angrily said, "It's already this late! You still have the mind to care about these things!"
Tian cried, "You clearly said you were only seeking revenge for the Saint, why..."
She suddenly thought of something, paused, and suddenly cried out: "You are having an affair with the saint, right? No wonder! No wonder you would come out of seclusion for her and avenge her!" She desperately tore him apart.
Qi Xing dodged in a panic, somewhat regretting having used the Gu on her. Although she was obedient, she sometimes couldn't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant!
While the two were making noise, the shadow guard came in with a box: "This is it, we found it from where they stayed."
When Qi Xing saw this, he suddenly straightened his waist. Tian was frightened by his expression and slowly stopped.
"Is the commotion over?" Yan Shiyue then asked, "Yue Niang, is she the Saint?"
"Yes!" Tian said, "What saint? She's just a bitch!"
Yan Shiyue nodded: "Okay, it doesn't matter." She pointed at the two people and said, "Drag these two away and kill them."
Qi Xing was stunned: "Wait! Why... why?"
...
...
"Hmm?" Yan Shiyue asked, "You didn't think you could survive after you put a curse on the princess and got caught red-handed, did you?"
The shadow guard immediately reached out to pull him, and Qi Xing struggled violently: "Don't kill me! I can control the Gu! I can help you do things!"
Yan Shiyue didn't even raise his head, and the shadow guard chuckled: "Who dares to employ someone like you?"
Qi Xing was dragged a few steps, and hurriedly pushed his hair away with his hands, saying: "Princess, please spare me! I, I have no ill intentions! I used the love poison, which is not fatal! I don't have the courage to harm your Highness! Spare me, look at me, I am the Holy Lord of Langda Village, I am willing to serve your Highness for the rest of my life..."
What the hell are the Saint Lord and Saint Daughter... They take themselves so seriously. Yan Shiyue made a gesture, and the shadow guards quickly dragged the two away. After a while, a scream was heard.
Tian was shaking like a sieve.
The shadow guard then dragged Tian over for interrogation.
Tian looked a little confused and thought Qi Xing was dead. She was shocked and found out the truth right away.
These people have lived in an ancient village for many years and have been able to control Gu since childhood. Qi Xing's nickname is Xing and Yue Niang's nickname is Yue. After leaving the village, they changed their names to Qi Xing and Luo Yue. Because they are the ones who have inherited the Gu Master's legacy, they are called the Holy Lord and the Holy Girl, which are equivalent to gods in the village.
However, to learn Gu, one needs to try it.
The best way to test Gu is of course to use a living person.
At first they only came out secretly at night to catch people, but as time went on, everyone knew that there were monsters hiding in the mountains, and people were often captured. The capable ones gradually moved away, and the rest could only endure the hardship.
However, what they didn't expect was that they later mistakenly captured someone from the princess's mansion.
Then the people from the princess's mansion went up the mountain to look for it several times, but couldn't find their village, so they simply built a wall with cement to surround the entire Langda Mountain, leaving only two gates.
It was fine if the siege lasted for three to five months, but if it lasted for a year or two, they would still need food, so they had to take the risk to come out. However, they did not dare to use the poison, and most of them were killed or injured in the fight. Only a few people escaped.
Then they hated the princess's mansion, so Yue Niang seduced Ye Huaiting and successfully entered the princess's mansion.
Later she asked Ye Huaiting to take care of them, and Ye Huaiting agreed.
You know, Ye Huaiting didn't know that the "monsters" in Langda Mountain were them, so when he knew that they could control Gu, he wanted to use them for his own purposes, but he never expected that they would be sleeping with wolves.
But Yue Niang eventually fell in love with Ye Huaiting and couldn't bear to kill him. She later went to Chang'an with him, but ended up failing.
Then... Qi Xing learned about this and hated Yan Shiyue again. He said he wanted to kill her to avenge the saint, so the two of them came.
They had never left the village in their lives and had never failed, so they had not thought about the consequences.
As for the love poison...it is said that Yue Niang had used it on Ye Huaiting.
Qi Xing had also used the love poison on Tian Xiu, and it was said that it had been three years. It was also said that this person had a long criminal record and had used the love poison on many young ladies, so Tian Xiu had already lost his patience.
Yan Shiyue thought that this love Gu wasn't really that affectionate!
Ye Huaiting thought Yue Niang was dead, so he escaped easily. Tian Xiu thought Qi Xing was dead, so he confessed happily.
But according to Tian Xiu, she didn't like Qi Xing before she was poisoned, but later, whenever she saw Qi Xing, she couldn't control her blushing and her heartbeat.
so?
Yan Shiyue wondered if this was a suspension bridge effect? Could it be that this kind of poison would make people's ears hot and their hearts beat fast, and then they would mistakenly think that they were in love?
But this is not important anymore. I guess the side effect of doing it for a long time is that people will become a little stupid, just like Tian Xiu is now.
She asked her shadow guard to send the two men back to the capital for Su Ji to study.
At the same time, people were sent to the location of Langda Village to search for the remnants and deal with all subsequent matters.
After giving the order, Yan Shiyue took the transcript and read it again.
The butt determines the head. Anyway, as the prime minister who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else... now she really feels that this underworld way of "revenge" at every turn is very annoying.
Don't these people deserve to die for poisoning others at will? Don't Yue Niang deserve to die for poisoning an official of the imperial court? Besides, killing the princess just for revenge? How lawless!
Yan Shiyue couldn't help but talk to Emperor Ming Yan.
Emperor Ming Yan's view was very much in line with the feudal ruling class. He said: "The knights-errant used force to break the law. These people do not work and spend their days wandering around. They should be banned."
But it is not so easy to completely ban it.
Moreover, not all of these people are bad. There are indeed some "heroes" who kill evil, rob the rich and help the poor, and have justice in their hearts.
But think about it again, what these people call "eliminating evil" is actually a kind of extra-legal punishment from a modern perspective! Deep down, they still don't take the law seriously.
Generally speaking, the lack of strict laws, corrupt officials, and bullying are the reasons for this kind of thing, but this trend must not be allowed to continue... If the people, when they encounter something, look to the knights for help instead of the officials and the emperor, that is definitely not a good thing.
As a superior, you should guide.
In fact, vernacular novels already existed in the previous dynasty, but they were not popular and there are not many in this dynasty. However, The Biography of Empress Fu by Xu Wenqu can barely be called a representative work.
So, should she try to guide him?
Don't be like Jin Yong, or rather, don't be completely like Jin Yong.
Because that way, many people will aspire to be "heroes", but that's not okay. In this social environment, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans are the right path. What she wants is to guide...
The greatest heroes serve their country and their people, which is acceptable.
It’s not okay to play around in this world of revenge and retribution!
Yan Shiyue stood up suddenly, turned around and left.
