Gu Qingli's eyes lit up. "Is it a red worm with wings on its back, two horns on its head, and many pairs of eyes on its back?"

Zhou Qianxi was surprised and nodded, "Yes, why …" Who was infected with the Scarlet Gu? "

"No, it's my sister Gu Qingruo. Someone planted the Scarlet Gu and became the Gu. Can you tell me about the Scarlet Gu?"

Zhou Qianxi was even more surprised. Who exactly were the Gu sisters, to actually turn them into a Gu? Was that a coincidence or an accident?

From her narration, Gu Qingli found out that the red Gu's nature was fire, and it had a major fever. Its toxicity could make one's body boil as if they were dead, and in the end, it was like they had been boiled alive.

All Gu worms, first of all, have to be highly toxic, to be able to kill people. The five Gu they practiced were not only the Gu's poison, but each Gu had its own uses.

For example, the Golden Gu could cause one's movements to slow down gradually, and in the end, they would become stiff as if they were dead, but they would become clear-headed. The Green Gu could cause people to go crazy, attack people with blood, and the person in the middle could control the mind of the person in charge of the Gu to attack the enemy, and the Red Gu could turn the person in the middle into their own puppet. The White Gu could cause people to hallucinate, and they could even get drunk and never wake up.

"In other words, even you don't know what attribute the Gu in my body has?"

"I'm not sure. Death to the Gu is only the smallest effect, the person who used to control the Profound Gu to cause the poison to act up instantly was only a small test. "

"How will it affect her if the Gu is born in the Gu's body?"

Zhou Qianxi replied, "If you are obedient, it should not have any effect. As long as the person controlling you does not control the Gu in your body, you will be safe and sound. Back then the person who controlled the profound Gu was killed a long time ago, and then Master trained another one. I am also not sure what level this person can control to, and I don't even know her identity. "

"Control Gu also has levels?"

"Yeah, how else can we talk about training?" Beginner level can only control young Gu, causing a person to die due to poison, and higher level can only have a special effect. When it can control the parent Gu in the Gu Master's body, that would be the highest level.

Gu Qingli stayed silent for a while before asking with difficulty, "A Gu Master …" Can you have children? "

"..." There has never been such a precedent, and I don't know. " Zhou Qianxi's dazed eyes gradually revealed some doubt, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Royal Concubine, could it be …" Are you pregnant? "

Gu Qingli staggered as her face turned even paler. Luckily, Xiao Yixiu held her back.

"This is troublesome. Your emotions and mother's are linked, so your bloodline is naturally connected. This child was born …" What if there is poison from the Gu? "

The two were both speechless.

Zhou Qianxi frowned for a long time and said, "Those who learn how to control the Gu must know more than I do. If you can find her, then it will be useful."

"Even you don't know her identity." On that trip home from the hunting grounds, Xiao Yi Xiu had also set up spies to look around, but none of them had been able to figure out who was secretly controlling the profound Gu to kill people.

"But at least you know that person must be in the hunting grounds. The hunting grounds are extremely wide and her control cannot be extended out of the entire hunting grounds. You should still check the subordinates that each person has."

Xiao Yi Xiu didn't reply. If it was that easy, how could he not have found out for so long? He changed the topic and talked about the epidemic in Beijing.

Zhou Qianxi immediately confirmed, "It's the Green Gu. The Green Gu is also known as the Poison Bee Gu, it's shape is like a bee, and its poison is a hundred times stronger."

"Do you know the Green Gu's Gu or how to control people?"

"I know what's the use of her changing her identity and appearance to sneak into the capital. She is not someone I know." Zhou Qianxi's words blocked their way of speaking.

"Maybe not?"

Zhou Qianxi thought for a moment and said, "She must have some traits that I know. If I can see her, I should be able to recognize her."

Gu Qingli instantly came up with an idea. "You can disguise yourself and follow by my side. Help me find that person hiding in the shadows."

"Let me try..." You believe me? " Zhou Qianxi hesitated. In fact, she would rather be trapped in a secret chamber in the Dark Pavilion. At least, her life would be safe and she would not have to worry about food and clothing.

"I have no reason to trust anyone." Gu Qingli inserted a few silver needles into her body and lightly said, "My silver needles are the same as the ones you use to control the Gu. If you listen to me, it will never harm you. If you want to play any tricks, it will make you want to die just the same. "

Zhou Qianxi smiled bitterly, obediently allowing Gu Qingli to change her appearance. She then followed them out of Xuanhua Tower.

Returning to the palace, Zhou Qianxi changed into the servant clothing of the mansion and followed Gu Qingli like a shadow.

She had some skill, so following her would be enough to protect Gu Qingli.

Gu Qing Li was too preoccupied with his own problems to take care of the situation in the inner city. He only paid a visit to Gentleman Ye to find out that Autumn is almost over. He visited her twice and saw that the black spots on her body were fading, even her scars were much better.

He followed her out of the city and headed straight for the simple fortifications.

Liu Yanyu was still patiently taking care of these patients, saying that the medicine for the past two days was very normal. Perhaps it was due to the freezing snow and the difficulty in moving around, but no one had switched the medicine.

Gu Qing Li thought about it for a moment, then decided that if she wanted to capture this thief, she would have to stay in the epidemic area at night. She decided to have her shadow guard secretly report to Xiao Yi Xiu, saying that she wouldn't return to the inner city for the time being.

The shadow guard did not dare to disobey and could only report back. However, his heart was filled with anxiety, afraid that he would be ordered to serve by Prince Mo.

Zhou Qianxi followed Gu Qing Li on a patrol, but didn't find anything wrong. She reported to her in a low voice that there were no Gu Master in the epidemic area.

This was within Gu Qingli's expectations. After all, that person could come and go as he wished, and there was no need for him to stay in this epidemic area all day long. Even if she was a Gu Master, there was no need to be afraid, the living conditions here were too poor. This blizzard had frozen more patients to death, but this was not something the soldiers could solve.

It was night. The crescent moon shone brightly on the endless snow, illuminating the surroundings.

Gu Qingli, Zhou Qianxi, Liu Yanyu, and Feng Zi were all lying in the same simple fortifications.

In the past few days, Feng Zi's condition had improved and she was no longer highly contagious. She had been allowed to rest together with Gu Qing Li to prove to her that Gu Qing Li was indeed innocent.

The crunching of snow was particularly ear-piercing in the silent night. Although the newcomer did his best to slow his footsteps, the sound of walking in the snow could not be covered up.

The four looked through the gap in the window and saw a black shadow walk into the medicine warehouse.

After the person entered, he lit a candle and carefully flipped through the medicinal herbs. As he flipped it over, he even whispered to himself. It didn't look like he was stealing medicine to change the smell.

After rummaging for a long time, he seemed very disappointed and walked outside.
