Chapter 6: Huqu Lu Gu



Ying Wuji glanced at Bai Zhi's petite but uneven figure and felt that people's physiques could not be generalized. He didn't know how she managed to eat a lot without gaining weight and how she managed to grow flesh in the right places.

However, he was a little surprised that Wu Shuangxu came to him so soon.

After he came back in the morning, he filled a bottle of Huilong Decoction and sent it over. Unexpectedly, the result came out in less than a day.

The two of them walked out of the training room one after the other.

The front hall of the embassy handles diplomatic affairs, while the back hall is where the embassy handles internal affairs. There is a small courtyard behind the back hall, which is where Ying Wuji lived for fourteen years. He was sent here as a hostage at the age of four, which was really miserable.

When the two arrived, Wu Shuangxu stood up and said, "Young Master Wuji, we have found out!"

"Please take a seat!"

Ying Wuji quickly made a gesture of invitation. Wu Shuangxu was born with a chivalrous face and was very capable in doing things without any procrastination.

This kind of person is worth making friends with and getting along with.

After she sat down, he made her a cup of tea and asked, "How is it? Have you found any traces of the insect?"

Wu Shuangxu frowned, "Yes! And quite a lot."

Although she agreed to help Ying Wuji investigate the case, she did not actually trust him completely, because Wei Qian's statement that "fabricated the villain to protect his reputation" was not without reason. She just didn't want to do her job in a muddle and wanted to find out the truth.

If there is really no trace of the poisonous insect, she will stay away from Ying Wuji in the future.

But she tested it with liquid medicine and found that it was indeed there!

The message behind this is somewhat sinister.

Ying Wuji's eyebrows also flashed a trace of anger: "What kind of Gu?"

Wu Shuangxu shook his head: "I don't know about that. There are many Gu worms in this world that will dissipate when the host dies. Most of the Gu worms used for assassination are of this type. We can only detect some residual poison from the Gu corpse at the site of the Gu injection, but it is extremely difficult to determine what kind of Gu worm it is."

Ying Wuji took a sip of tea and asked: "Have you told the Feiyu Guards about this?"

Wu Shuangxu's hesitation flashed across his brows, "I'll be frank! At first I was going to report this to my superior, but when I got there, I heard the conversation between Wei Dianke and the commander of the Feiyu Guards. They said that Gan and Li had reached an agreement, and that no matter if someone was behind this or not, they would suppress this matter."

While speaking, she subconsciously looked at Ying Wuji once more.

It’s not that she felt indignant for him, after all, they were only slightly acquainted with each other, but she still felt that this proton was a little pathetic.

The proton is wandering in a foreign country and has only his motherland as a support. Now his motherland also treats him as a dispensable person. Such a gap is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Dynasties are ruthless, that's probably the case. The Ying clan has a prince who has awakened ancient blood, and he will undoubtedly become the next monarch. This hostage is just a face between the two countries, as long as he doesn't die, it's fine.

However, to her surprise, Ying Wuji did not look sad, but rather had an expression that stated it was as she expected.

Ying Wuji smiled and cupped his hands: "Miss, help me. If you can find out the identity of the criminal, you will be rewarded handsomely!"

Wu Shuangxu seemed unimpressed by the "substantial reward" and simply said, "Please tell me the situation in detail. Although the Gu worm is unpredictable, if you want to control it, you must use some tricks. As long as you find this, you can follow the clues to find the cause."

"this……"

Ying Wuji rubbed his head and said, "I drank too much last night and only remember a few fragments. I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry!"

Wu Shuangxu took out a piece of talisman paper from his bosom: "This talisman is a wake-up talisman, which can make every detail of memory come to light. Young master can stick it between his eyebrows!"

"Thank you!"

Ying Wuji took it and almost forgot that this was a world of immortals and heroes. Taoism had many magical talismans.

He stuck the talisman on his forehead and soon felt a cool breath penetrate into his eyebrows. Suddenly, his previously vague memory became clear, and he hurriedly recalled the scene of last night.

The lights are bright, the wine is red, and the curtains are caressing.

It was as if one was in a brothel, and even the foul fragrance seemed to linger at the tip of one's nose.

The virtual reality of the previous life is nothing but a pile of rubbish compared to this thing.

Pooh!

No need for dogs!

Ying Wuji did not delay any further and sped up his recollection, going over all the details in his memory from the time he entered the brothel to his sudden death.

Very clear!

But the feeling of watching a porn movie at ten times the speed really makes me want to vomit.

When the magic power in the awakening talisman dissipated, Ying Wuji happened to open his eyes and told all the possible details.

However, Wu Shuangxu denied one by one the possibility that these details were related to the art of controlling poison.

"Anything else?"

Wu Shuangxu frowned slightly.

Ying Wuji's eyes suddenly lit up: "There is one more! Before the poisonous insects rioted, I seemed to hear a sound of a piano."

"Piano music? What kind of piano music?"

"I don't know how to describe it, I'll hum it for you."

As Ying Wuji spoke, he hummed a few tunes.

Wu Shuangxu was silent for a while: "Sir, please describe it with words!"

Ying Wuji: “…”

He felt that his musical dream had been destroyed.

But how to describe it?

He frowned and pondered for a long time before he said, "The style of this song doesn't seem to come from the Central Plains!"

Wu Shuangxu asked, "What are the details?"

Ying Wuji was a little embarrassed, rubbed his temple and said: "Why don't you just let me hum a few times!"

First, the voice was too soft, and second, he really didn't know how to describe it.

Wu Shuangxu waved his hand quickly: "No need! Hu Diao is rarely heard in Li Tu. Please tell me the time, I should be able to find it out."
