C263 Outbreak(1)

Although Helian Yu had no intention to congratulate this banquet, he still brought a large gift with him. After all, he was the Crown Prince of the Northern Chu and even if he spoke in a disrespectful tone, he could not fail in etiquette, or else people would laugh at how stingy Bei Chu was.

After the birthday banquet had ended, the Helian siblings left one after another. Naturally, Xiao Yixiu would leave with his main wife. Gu Qingluo wanted to follow them, but Yu Bi Ling called upon her to stay behind and accompany her for a while.

Gu Qingruo sensed it for a moment, but didn't feel anything unusual about her, so she left it uneasily.

After they got into the carriage, they rode for a distance before Gu Qingli stared at Gu Qingxiao and asked, "Who gave you the Gu worms? What do you want?"

In the face of her harsh questioning, Gu Qingxiao's face suddenly turned deathly pale as he trembled and said, "I don't …" "I can't say …"

"What happened?" Xiao Yi frowned. Although he could tell that the attitude of the three of them was a bit unnatural, Gu Qing Li's eyes were calm. He thought that nothing big would happen.

Gu Qingli was about to say something when a strange sound came from Gu Qingxiao's throat. Her entire body twitched and curled up, her four limbs spasming nonstop. Bright red blood flowed out of her mouth, her eyes rolled back, and she bent her arms.

Gu Qingli quickly took out some silver needles. "Hold on to her." Xiao Yixiu took the hint and controlled Gu Qingxiao's convulsing body.

With a wave of her jade-like hand, silver needles rained down one after another. Her slender fingers pierced several dozen acupoints before she finally stopped to catch her breath.

Xiao Yi Xiu released Gu Qing Xiao. He raised his hand to wipe away the sweat on Gu Qing Li's forehead. Looking at her appearance, she seems to be a little similar to the last time when we forcefully drove out the Gu. "

Gu Qing Li became lost in thought. He shook his head lightly and took out a thick and long silver needle, stabbing deeply into Gu Qing Xiao's fingertip. Bright red blood flowed out of the needle as it was pulled out.

She sighed lightly, "You are right, she might have been poisoned, but I do not know what it is. I only know that this Gu can be controlled from a distance, and the person who cast it will not allow her to reveal her secrets, for fear that she will not wake up again."

Xiao Yixiu was still glaring at her, obviously waiting for her to continue.

Gu Qingli was helpless. She recounted what had happened before and instead comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Xiao Yi Xiu held her hand and pulled her into his embrace. He looked at her fingers and scolded, "You know that's not a good thing, but why did you call it out so easily? You want to use it to suppress the Gu in Gu Qingruo's body, who knows how strong these two Gu are? What if the Gu in your body loses, and you get counterattacked? "

"That won't happen, I feel that the Gu in my body is much stronger than that red Gu worm …"

"Don't use common sense to guess. Those are Gu worms. Exactly how many poisonous substances did they fight and filter out? We simply do not know about them." I've seen the Golden Gu before, but I still feel that it has intelligence. Even though it is not as strong as an animal, it doesn't look like an ordinary insect. What if that red Gu was the one who purposely showed weakness and lured you into underestimating the enemy? "

Seeing that his eyes were filled with worry, Gu Qingli giggled. "Don't worry, even if the Gu are so cunning, do I not have a way to deal with them?"

"The Gu in your body is now connected to your blood vessels and can no longer treat it as an ordinary Gu. If it suffers, I'm afraid it will affect your primordial spirit."

Gu Qingli's eyes flickered with a smile. Just as she was about to say something, he covered her lips with his hand. "Can't you stop trying to be brave? We have tried many times to expel it from your body, but we have already proven that it is now with you in both life and death. Until there is no way to safely expel it from your body, you will not be in a condition to do anything dangerous, do you hear me? "

Anxiety and nervousness filled his eyes, causing Gu Qingli's heart to soften. Although she didn't answer, she gently nodded her head, opened her mouth slightly and bit into his fingertip. Her small smooth tongue licked one of his fingers, teasing him.

Xiao Yixiu felt his body heat up as the tightness in his fingers extended to the depths of his heart. He subconsciously pulled his hand away and kissed her with a sly smile.

The two of them gradually entered the beautiful state as the carriage jolted about. The temperature within the carriage vaguely rose, and a burning sensation spread through their bodies. Xiao Yixiu gradually found it difficult to endure.

Unknowingly, Gu Qingli's front lapel had been disbanded. The biting winter wind blew past the heavy cotton curtain, causing her bones to ache. She shivered and then woke up, shyly pushing him away. "Don't …" "There's someone in the carriage …"

Xiao Yixiu didn't even look at Gu Qingxiao, but pressed her gently onto the wide chair. It was a brocade made of snow-white fur, warm and soft.

"That won't do. What if she wakes up …"

Xiao Yi Xiu finally leaned to the side and waved his sleeve, sending out a gust of wind. With a flick of his finger, he sealed Gu Qing Xiao's acupoints.

Ever since he had recovered, he had actually never fought against anyone before. Gu Qing Li rarely saw him make a move, his Qi had reached a superb level, but it was used to prevent others from spying on him. He was both angry and amused.

Before he finished his sentence, the body of the carriage shook and lost weight. It was actually a horse pulling the carriage that had its front hooves kicked up as it screamed.

The carriage was being driven by the guards of the Palace of the King, and they were quite skilled. They pulled the reins in their hands and swung the horsewhips, forcing the horse to fall to the ground with a loud thud, causing the people inside the carriage to sway.

Gu Qingxiao fell from the opposite seat, still unconscious.

Xiao Yi Xiu deftly caught Gu Qing Li in his arms. Although they were trembling, he didn't fall down.

He closed his eyes and sighed. An accident really happened as soon as he said it. This kind of thing that had never happened before could actually be said by Gu Qingli.

Gu Qingli laughed softly, "Am I right?" Accidents are everywhere. "

Her face was flushed red as she held the lapel of her clothes to cover herself. She was also curious as to how she had met with such an accident today.

Xiao Yi Xiu sat up with a dissatisfied expression.

The curtain of the carriage moved as if someone was about to enter.

Xiao Yi Xiu immediately straightened his posture and straightened his clothes. Luckily, his clothes were still neat and tidy, and only a few of his creases were left on. Using his body to block Gu Qing Li, he lifted a corner of the cotton curtain and stuck his head out. Who dares to alarm This King's chariot? "

The guard then turned around and replied, "Reporting to your highness, we have reached the border of the inner city. There are heavy guards outside the inner city. As long as people from the outer city enter, they must pass through the inner city to prevent the plague from bringing them into the inner city!"

"What is it?" Xiao Yixiu saw two rows of city guards standing by the side of the horse carriage. They had silver spears and iron armor, and their faces were filled with a ferocious aura. They were asking to inspect the inside of the horse carriage.
