Yan Yuan's voice was extremely cold. Although he did not have much expression on his face, looking at his made people feel terrified.
Liu Ruo Qing was not sure either, but to be able to get the Grand Preceptor Pang to lie to him like that, how could those bugs be normal?
That night, an assassin barged into the Prince Rui's Palace to kill Shen Qin. Although there was no sign of the assassin, Sixth Brother mentioned to the Grand Preceptor Pang that there was a dowry for the assassin on the second day of assembly. That old thing was quite scared. "
Yan Jue said to Yan Yuan.
Yan Yuan frowned, his lips puckered into a line, causing his entire aura to become even sharper.
"In other words, before Shen Qin fainted, she probably knew some secret of the Grand Preceptor Pang."
Yan Yuan said softly, his tightened eyebrows did not loosen.
Liu Ruo Qing had never liked the Grand Preceptor Pang's family. Other than being retarded due to Pang Yue Qiu, they were also the old cunning fox, Grand Preceptor Pang.
Although she had never fought against Grand Preceptor Pang before, she knew that the old thing definitely wasn't a good person.
"What if the Grand Preceptor Pang has colluded with the xieqing in secret?"
Liu Ruo Qing said softly, as though she had already forgotten that she was currently just a little guard. In such a solemn occasion, she, a little guard, did not have the qualifications to speak.
However, when she said those words, no one felt that anything was amiss. Hearing him say it like that, Yan Yuan and Yan Jue's faces did not look good.
Clearly, they had also guessed this possibility.
As a minister, he only had the status of being equal to the princes. Even the Prime Minister Wang was only on equal footing with him, so what benefits could the Nanling and the xieqing give him to be willing to be a traitor?
"If Grand Preceptor Pang is the traitor and Shen Qin knows about this secret, it would be completely reasonable for Grand Preceptor Pang to want to kill us to keep this a secret."
Liu Ruo Qing continued, "Gu makers usually plant their Gu on carriers, such as humans, cattle, horses, and other creatures. However, the probability of success is too low so most of the people who use the Lich Gu are usually the ones who plant their Gu on the insects. As long as someone is infected with the Gu, they will be easily controlled by the person raising the Gu."
Saying that, she looked at Yan Yuan and the others, seeing that they did not say a word, and did not have any intentions of opposing her, she continued: If Grand Preceptor Pang is working with the enemy to sell off the country, then he must have some sort of connection with Ye Man, and those bugs, are actually Ye Man's Insects that pass through him and hide within the Easternum.
Liu Ruo Qing's face paled, and she did not continue.
The Grand Preceptor's estate was in the Jindu. If those Gu worms were to be loaded into the entire Jindu, then the entire Jindu would be in danger. At that time, even the Imperial City would not be able to protect them.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruo Qing couldn't stand steadily.
Although these were just speculations, it was clear that these speculations were very reasonable.
Yan Jue and Yan Yuan's expressions were also very ugly. Seeing Yan Jue grabbing onto Yan Yuan's arm, Yan Jue said: "We must immediately rush back to the Jindu.
Yan Yuan knew that if all of his guesses just now were correct, the Jindu would be in great danger.
But Qing Er...
It wasn't easy for him to find a clue related to Qing Er and tell him to give up now.
But, could he really just let the citizens of the Jindu, or even the citizens of the entire Easternum, off the hook like this?
He knew the consequences. Once someone changed into Dong Dan's appearance, the world would be in chaos.
He suppressed the struggle in his heart and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let's go."
Liu Ruo Qing cast her gaze at Yan Yuan, and her crystal clear eyes instantly dimmed.
After staying with him for the past few days, she had almost thought that she had returned to the past. However, she had forgotten that she was now just a guard at the side of King Duanren of the Nanling, and he was the noble Prince Jing of the Easternum.
Qin Xuan's gaze turned to look at her, and saw the look in her eyes as he looked at Yan Yuan, full of reluctance. Qin Xuan's eyes turned down slightly, and just as the two of them bade farewell to him, Qin Xuan called out to him.
"Brother Yan, please wait."
Yan Yuan turned around and looked at Qin Xuan. Seeing that Qin Xuan was looking at him, Yan Yuan turned to Yan Yuan and said, "Let Xiao Niu and Brother Yan go back."
Liu Ruo Qing and Yan Yuan were startled at the same time, and looked towards Qin Xuan at the same time.
"Prince …"
Liu Ruo Qing was about to say something anxiously but she raised her hand and stopped her.
walked in front of Yan Yuan and pointed at him. "Those monsters in Ye Man's residence are afraid of the calf, it's very likely that it's because of the parasites that are controlling them. That is to say, if the worms in the Grand Tutor's manor were to be used to control monsters after Ye Man died, it's very likely that those bugs were also afraid of the calf."
As he spoke till here, he then looked at the stunned Liu Ruo Qing and said: "You came back with Prince Jing, and were able to successfully get rid of those bugs, can also be considered to be a great achievement. When you return to Nanling, this king will heavily reward you."
"Prince, I …"
"This is an order."
Qin Xuan spoke in a calm voice, interrupting Liu Ruo Qing's words, "This matter is not only related to the Easternum, it is also related to us, the Nanling, so do well."
He patted her solemnly on the shoulder, and the moment he placed his hand on her shoulder, he exerted a little more force.
Liu Ruo Qing understood that this was only one of the reasons why Qin Xuan told him to stay by Yan Yuan's side.
She was grateful to Qin Xuan for thinking all of this for her, but if she followed Yan Yuan back to the Jin Capital, she would definitely stay by Yan Yuan's side. The closer she got to, the more afraid she became, afraid that she would accidentally be exposed.
However, Qin Xuan was now her master in name. If she insisted on not returning with Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan would probably think too much about it.
Furthermore, in the depths of her heart, she really did want to stay by Yan Yuan's side.
After a moment of silence, she nodded her head. "I will do as you bid."
Yan Yuan looked at the little guard beside him, but did not object, he only nodded at Qin Xuan, "Thank you, Brother Qin."
After Yan Yuan and the other two had left, Qian Wei, who was standing behind Qin Xuan, could not help but speak: "Your Highness, did you let Lady Liu leave just like that? What if Prince Jing recognizes her? "
Qin Xuan's hand, lightly stroked his sleeves, and laughed: "She's by Yan Yuan's side, safer than us. Yan Yuan would sooner or later recognize her."
Although Liu Ruo Qing was standing next to Yan Yuan with a different face, he clearly felt that Yan Yuan still treated her, a little guard, differently.
Qin Xuan had no way of knowing what that feeling was. When you love someone deeply, even if she changed her face, even if your eyes couldn't recognize it, your heart would still treat her more special than it would anyone else.
