C196 controlling Gu(1)

"How tyrannical." "But I like it."

"What about your female shadow guards?"

He smiled and shook his head. "There are no women in the shadow guard that I protect at close range. They are all people from the 'Dark Pavilion'."

"Dark Pavilion?!" Gu Qing Li's shock overcame her jealousy. She suddenly turned around and looked at him with wide eyes.

How many more secrets did he have that she did not know? No wonder the people from the Dark Pavilion could enter and leave the palace so easily without a trace. No wonder those people who had intercepted them on their way back to the palace knew the speed of their journey like the back of their hand …

"Xiao Yi Xiu, there are too many things that I don't even know about."

Xiao Yi Xiu smiled silently, bent his head and lightly kissed her lips, "I'll tell you whatever you want to know." "Actually, there's nothing to hide from you. It's just that you didn't — that's all."

Gu Qingli thought about it for a moment and felt relieved. He didn't hide it from her on purpose, but she didn't go into details to explain everything to her. After all, during the four years that he had been bedridden, he had been secretly plotting for the fight for the throne. As for how many hidden forces and chess pieces she had set up, perhaps even three days wouldn't be enough to fully explain everything to her.

There were only a few dozen steps before they reached the end of the secret passageway. In the secret chamber at the other end, two dancers' gazes were dull as they were shackled to the wall.

"The Gu in your body, can it really suppress the original Gu worms in their bodies?"

Gu Qingli nodded with a serious expression, walked forward, and pressed their acupoints and meridians. Soon, more than ten silver needles shot out from their bodies, and landed with a ding.

She was proficient at controlling needles, and it was simple and agile as well. She just lightly pushed the needles along the meridians and pressed them into a few acupoints. It was completely not as complicated as what Xiao Yixiu had taught Xiao Yiyan.

Xiao Yixiu lowered his eyebrows slightly, "The technique you want me to teach Ah Yan …" It doesn't seem to be that simple? "

Gu Qingli turned around and smiled sweetly, "Firstly, I am proficient in making mistakes, and Duke Chen can't operate as freely as this. Secondly, my internal energy is more profound than his, and my attainments are extraordinary …"

"Third, you deliberately lied to him, in order to create an ambiguous atmosphere between him and the princess."

Gu Qingli giggled. "Don't break it."

"This move of yours is probably the opposite."

"I think it's very effective for the princess …"

Just as he was about to say something, the two dancers slowly woke up, their eyes turning bright and clear. When they saw them clearly, one of their faces changed as if trying to get lucky. The other looked around in fear and asked in a trembling voice, "Where is this?"

When Gu Qingli faced them, her expression turned frosty. "Don't try to move the Gu worms in your body in vain."

She slowly stretched out her left arm and rolled up her sleeves with her right hand. In the blink of an eye, a black streak shot out from her arm like an arrow, extending all the way up to her fingertip.

"A Gu Master!" The dancer who'd been trying her luck suddenly went limp and looked at her with a deathly pale face.

"Should not have... You... How did you become a Gu? Isn't it supposed to be Fang Yanzhu? "

Xiao Yixiu and Gu Qingli looked at each other and saw a strange look in each other's eyes. He lightly tapped his hands with both palms, and a secret passageway immediately appeared on the walls of the secret chamber. Two shadow guards walked in and respectfully asked, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"Take her away." Xiao Yi Xiu pointed at one of them.

As she passed by, Gu Qingli once again sealed a silver needle inside her body. The woman's head drooped limply, as if she had fallen into a deep slumber.

Xiao Yixiu sat down beside the long table in the secret room and took Gu Qing Li into his arms. Startled, she struggled a few times, feeling that the intimacy of interrogating a prisoner was inappropriate, but then she was locked up by him and couldn't get out.

"Tell me everything you know, especially the organization behind you."

The dancer's face was still ashen, unable to trigger the Gu worm within her body to commit suicide. It seemed that she did not really want to die, but after hesitating for a moment she still cautiously asked, "I said, can you let me go?"

Gu Qingli thought for a moment. "I'll give you a way out."

The dancer pursed her lips and slowly shook her head.

"Not enough?" Gu Qingli slightly furrowed her brows. "What else do you want?"

She didn't want to be a thorn in the side of someone who would sell him for a living. What she could not do, she did not want to easily promise.

"If you don't kill me, someone will. As long as I leave this secret room, I will not have more than three days to live. My master will not leave behind any traitors, and he will make me die a graveless death.

It sounded like her master's methods were not something that a normal person could endure.

"That's fine. If you don't mind your freedom, you can stay in this secret chamber until you feel safe."

The dancer let out a breath of relief, as if being a prisoner in this secret chamber was the safest thing in the world. She nodded and said, "Princess Mo, come over here."

Gu Qing Li hesitated for a moment before stepping forward. Under her gaze, he drew closer and lowered his head.

The dancer's eyes suddenly glowed red, her lips curved in a strange smile. Her red lips parted, and a golden dot of light shot out, quickly shooting towards Gu Qing Li's snow-white neck!

The tip of his finger moved, and somehow, a silver needle that had been picked up from the ground came out and penetrated that golden spot. The needle did not stop there, and the entire thing sank into the dancers' cheeks, leaving only the end of the needle quivering. The golden spot that had been penetrated was actually a living creature!

Gu Qing Li was prepared for this. Although she didn't have the time to use her silver needles like Xiao Yi Xiu, her body moved three feet horizontally and displayed the silver needles on her fingertips, aiming them at the dancer's neck.

On the dancers' snow-white face, a thin stream of blood flowed down from the tip of the silver needle. Her eyes were filled with terror as they rolled to the point where the whites of her eyes were completely exposed.

At this point, Xiaoyi Xiu had already arrived behind Gu Qing Li like a gust of wind, pulling her back a few steps and hugging her tightly.

I'm fine." Gu Qing Li looked carefully, what was nailed to the dancing girl's face was a small golden beetle, about the size of a fly, its thin, transparent gold wings were moving at high speeds, its entire body looked round like a pearl, it had eight legs and two curled antennae, it was a type of bug that she had never seen before.

"Take... Take it away! " The dancers were extremely ugly.

"This is your own fault, you can't live on. What, if you let it out, you'll be even more afraid of it than we are? " Gu Qingli suddenly took a step forward and was about to reach for the silver needle when her wrist suddenly tightened and was grabbed by Xiao Yixiu.

The head of the little gold bug suddenly exploded open. A mere little bug actually opened its mouth that was as wide as the body of a person, and suddenly leaped forward, biting onto the snow-white face of the dancer.

Gu Qingli watched helplessly as the lively and fragrant woman in front of her opened her eyes in terror. The spot where she had been bitten off turned black and quickly spread throughout her body.
