Chapter 358 He is angry
Mu Nanzhao's eyes moved as he looked at the two people tied up under the tree.
His eyes swept across the female kidnapper and fixed on Fan Dongping.
"Big harvest?"
Gu Xixi looked in the direction he was looking, "That's him, the prince is very smart!"
Mu Nanzhao said, "If you don't mean it, why bother praising me."
Gu Xixi pursed her lips with a sour look, wondering why this person was so hard to please.
At this time, Mu Nanzhao looked at her and said, "Don't you think that if you praise me, this matter will be forgotten?"
Gu Xixi immediately controlled her expression, and said seriously and sincerely, "No, no, Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he makes his own decisions on everything. How could he be affected by a mere compliment?"
Mu Nanzhao's expression still showed no emotion, "Prince?"
Gu Xixi gritted his teeth, thinking that Lu Jing's case still required his cooperation, and the bodies also needed to be dealt with.
She raised her smiling face, "...Mu Nanzhao."
The frost on someone's face finally showed some signs of melting.
"You can say that this is your big catch."
Gu Xixi winked, and after the two walked a few steps away, she said, "That bastard is Fan Dongping."
Mu Nanzhao's eyes suddenly turned sharp, "Because you rescued that woman?"
Gu Xixi nodded, and this time she finally stopped praising the prince for his intelligence.
Mu Nanzhao said, "I chased him to the capital, but I didn't find Lu, so I targeted you first."
"Hiring a killer to kidnap, first to force Lu's whereabouts, second to take revenge."
Gu Xixi agreed, "Yes, that's it!"
However, Mu Nanzhao didn't listen to what she said at all.
"You really don't know how to live or die."
Mu Nanzhao turned around and left, murderous aura rising from his body.
His expression was so gloomy that no one dared to approach him. Only Gu Xixi kept talking to him:
"On the way here when I was kidnapped, I guessed it might be him. As luck would have it, I won the bet."
"Now that we have captured him, as long as we get his confession, Lu Jing's case will be heard soon."
"At the same time, we also have a legitimate reason to go to Nanyi County and Fan Dongping's home to collect evidence. We will surely be able to make a solid case and completely rid the people of this evil."
"There is also his relationship with the Fan family. I have thought about it these past two days. If I hand this person over to you, maybe he can uncover the flaws of the Fan family and help you."
"It seems like this is really killing two birds with one stone..."
Mu Nanzhao suddenly stopped, and Gu Xixi, who was happily planning, accidentally bumped into him.
"Ouch!" She covered her nose and stepped back.
Before she fully opened her eyes, she saw Mu Nanzhao turned around and stood facing her.
"So, you wanted to redress the injustice of the Lu family and help me overthrow Lord Fan. You didn't hesitate to hand over your life to the bandits."
"Gu Xixi, it's rare that you are so selfless. Should I be moved to tears of gratitude?"
Gu Xixi was secretly frightened when he called her by her full name.
She looked guilty and murmured, "I dare not move. I really dare not move."
Mu Nanzhao frowned, "What did you say?"
Gu Xixi said hurriedly, "I mean, I don't have the idea of handing my life over to others. I haven't lived enough."
She looked at Mu Nanzhao again and tried to defend herself with a sincere attitude.
"Don't you know me? If I wasn't fully prepared, how could I risk my life to be the bait?"
Mu Nanzhao was displeased, "How dare you? You were just guessing at first."
"Fortunately, you only encountered a bunch of robbers and a local thug named Fan."
"If it's a master sent by someone else, are you sure you can escape unscathed?"
Gu Xixi looked at him cautiously, "I might actually have it."
She opened her palm, revealing a small bamboo tube.
Mu Nanzhao picked it up and looked at it. "Another poison?"
Gu Xixi suddenly said nervously, "Don't move! Don't twist the lid!"
She took the bamboo tube back and breathed a sigh of relief, "The antidote is all used up, we can't let anything go wrong again."
According to Gu Xixi's detailed explanation.
This time, she not only upgraded the formula of the poison, but also made the poisoned person become stiff and numb more quickly.
The change in usage method was also completed ahead of schedule.
The lower end of the bamboo tube contains poison, while the upper end, sealed with wax, contains a special powder.
The "catalyst" is formulated according to the medicinal properties of the poison.
Just gently twist the lid, the wax seal will break, the primer and the poison will merge, and the effective ingredients in the poison will be vaporized.
Compared with the previous method of spraying pesticides, it is more covert, quicker and has a wider killing range.
Mu Nanzhao watched Gu Xixi put the bamboo tube back into her sleeve and hide it away.
For the first time, I felt a lingering fear.
He almost got poisoned again just now?
After a moment of silence, Mu Nanzhao said, "When the poison technique reaches this level, it is hard to defend against. Even the top masters may be affected."
Gu Xixi was happy that he finally understood, "Really?"
Before entering the Agricultural University, she always got high scores in chemistry.
Mu Nanzhao was worried and anxious when he learned that Gu Xixi was missing, and when he saw her, he was filled with worry again.
Only after confirming that she was unharmed did I feel deeply scared and angry.
I’m afraid something might happen to her.
He was angry that she didn't take care of herself, and that she didn't consider that he would worry when she decided to take the risk.
However, this last bit of emotion melted away into helplessness when he saw her confident and bright smile.
Mu Nanzhao sighed heavily, "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst."
Gu Xixi blurted out, "It's okay! Don't we still have you?"
She regretted it as soon as she said it.
It sounded as if she depended on him so much and it was natural!
Mu Nanzhao's eyes were deep.
Gu Xixi tried to make amends, "I was just trying to say that you are so smart and capable, you will definitely come here soon."
Mu Nanzhao took a step forward, "Let's go."
Gu Xixi was stunned for a moment, then continued to follow.
In the central open space, He Jinghui had already led his men to count the bodies and moved them all to one place.
Seeing that Mu Nanzhao had recovered as usual, He Jinghui stepped forward and counted the number of people.
Including San'er, who ran away and died far away.
Mu Nanzhao looked at Gu Xixi, who nodded, "There are so many people, no one has escaped."
"It's just..." She rolled her eyes, "How should we deal with these?"
Mu Nanzhao's tone was light, but his eyes unconsciously revealed a bit of doting.
"Now you know it's hard to deal with the aftermath? Why didn't you think about it when you poisoned me?"
Gu Xixi needed help from others, so she had to smile and act innocent.
Mu Nanzhao said that she was "purely selfless", but of course that's not the case.
To find out how the poison could be vaporized, she only found a rat hole and did a micro experiment.
Today was the first actual combat, and of course we gained some data.
So, some benefits were still gained.
As for how to deal with the body, she had never done it.
This place belongs to the emperor. If many corpses with strange causes of death appear here, I don't know what kind of chaos will arise.
In fact, while Gu Xixi was waiting, she also thought about how she could handle the situation on her own.
Feed the beast?
It is not okay to poison animals.
Push off the cliff?
It's possible that someone will find out sooner or later, and it would be a sin to scare innocent people.
Burial? I can’t dig a hole that big.
Cremation? Setting the mountain on fire…
However, Gu Xixi didn't know that the problem that was bothering her was just a trivial matter to Mu Nanzhao and He Jinghui.
