Looking at this battle, Murong Shan's face was completely pale. He hurriedly explained, "I really didn't know …"

Halfway through his explanation, he was unable to continue.

The way was taken by her, and she was the one who had planned all this in advance. Now, the Magistrate Zeng had coincidentally brought people along to wait here, and even caught a turtle in a jar. For her to say such words now, forget about whether or not there was anyone present to believe, even she did not believe it.

Xiao Jingyue looked at her coldly, and did not say a word.

Eighth Prince's face turned dark, and he asked coldly: "What is the meaning of this, Lord Ceng?"

"Your Highness misunderstands." "It's not easy for Your Highness and General Xiao to leave the cave, this subordinate has only specially come to welcome you all back to the Residence."

Eighth Prince pointed at Chen Linye and Xiao Er who were tied up, "Arrest the officials ordered by the imperial government. Is this how Lord Zeng welcomes you?"

Magistrate Zeng smiled and did not explain. He did not want to say anything more.

Raising his hand, several soldiers walked over with ropes.

Xiao Er and Xiao San immediately took out their swords and stood in front of Xiao Jingyue.

In a certain infirmary in the city, in a room that was filled with the fragrance of medicine, the senior doctor was focused on bandaging the wounds of the collapsed man.

The man's eyes were tightly closed, and his impeccable face was pale. No matter how the old doctor moved on his wound, he didn't utter a single word.

In front of the bed, there was a burning stove. The charcoal inside the stove made "pa, pa" sounds from time to time.

After an unknown period of time, the door opened and a slim figure walked in.

The woman stood behind the screen and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at the man on the couch. She said in a low voice, "I've already given the item away."

It just so happened that the doctor had already finished treating his wounds. He stood up and clasped his hands together with the person on the bed, then said: "This subordinate will go out and make medicine for Second Boss."

Rong Xi still had his eyes closed, and nodded his head lightly, which was considered to be agreement.

The old doctor packed his stuff and helped Rong Xi put on his clothes, then left without looking back.

The room was silent for a while.

Rong Xi slowly opened his eyes, looked at the figure behind the screen, and said indifferently: "Come over."

Jin Yi pursed his lips, but didn't go over. He only said, "Just now, I saw Young Master Mu Rong and Young Master Chu on the street."

Rong Xi's expression immediately changed, and asked with narrowed eyes: "Have you been discovered by them?"

Jinyi shook her head and said, "No."

She was forcefully brought out by Rong Xi, how could she have ran out herself and appeared in front of Murong Yan?

Rong Xi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, closed his eyes again, and said: "Come and sit here."

The embroidered clothes did not move.

Rong Xi asked again: "What's wrong?"

Jin Yi gritted his teeth and slowly walked out of the screen. He walked to the stool the doctor was sitting on and sat down.

Silence reigned in the room.

The embroidered clothed sneakily glanced at the man on the bed, a complex expression flashing across his eyes.

In the cave, she had wanted to kill the man.

But in the end, he was still unable to make a move.

There was no other reason.

What Rong Xi had previously given her was not ordinary poison at all, but a child Gu of one of the mother poison parasites of the Miao Boundary.

A child Gu has always been subject to the mother Gu's orders.

The mother Gu was in Rong Xi's body, if Rong Xi died, she would not be able to live after being infected by the child Gu.

She did not want to die, so Rong Xi could not die either.

In the simple room, Qu Ling was lying on the table boringly, playing with the little poisons, sighing from time to time.

In the upper reaches of the Huai River, they were surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. With Chen Linye and Xiao Yi as hostages, they had no way of resisting, so they simply did not resist. They allowed the Magistrate Zeng to order people to confiscate their weapons and bring them back to the residence.

At Xiao Jingyue's request, Magistrate Zeng did not lock Qu Ling up in his cell, and had them bring him to a room to lock him up.

Qu Ling played with them for a while and then felt bored.

He opened his bag and took out the Worryfree Lanterns that he retrieved from within, carefully inspecting them.

Maybe it was because she was weak, or because she knew that Miao Renlong did not dare to casually touch her things, Magistrate Zeng did not order anyone to confiscate her baggage, be it bags, flutes, or the three poisonous things, they were all still by her side.

Whether it was because of his promise with Huo Xinyi or the fact that Xiao San was also infected by the parasite, the matter of removing the parasite was extremely urgent.

The Gu Worm that Murong Yan had previously used for her research was used on Xiao San, and luckily she had observed that Gu Worm pretty much before, if she had followed it now, it would not hinder her from researching ways to remove the Shrao Zi Gu, but it was just that …

Qu Ling looked at the few worry-free lamps in his hands, and laughed as he muttered to himself: "This is pretty good too."

Unknowingly, the sky had darkened.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside.

Moments later, the sound of the lock being unlocked rang out and the door was pushed open.

Qu Ling raised his head, and saw the Magistrate Zeng carrying food in with a smile.

Magistrate Zeng placed the dishes on the table and sat down in front of her. "I didn't know what Mrs. Xiao liked to eat, so I got some for myself. If these dishes are not to Mrs. Xiao's liking, feel free to bring it up. "

Qu Ling looked at the steaming dishes and raised his eyebrows, saying: "I am not picky with food, I just do not know why Master Zeng is here, why?"

Magistrate Zeng glanced at the object in front of Qu Ling, laughed, and said honestly, "I do have a request."

So she had a request. No wonder she agreed so readily to lock her up here, and didn't confiscate her things!

Qu Ling looked at him expressionlessly, and slowly put away the messy bottles and jars in front of him. He got up to wash his hands, returned to the table and sat down, pulled the food in front of him, picked up the chopsticks, and began to eat slowly.

She hadn't eaten since the breakfast yesterday morning, and now she was hungry and thirsty, and everything had to wait until she was full.

Seeing that, the Magistrate Zeng did not speak anymore, and sat quietly and waited.

During this time, his gaze inadvertently swept across Qu Ling's bald head, he got up and walked out of the room, and when he returned, he held a hat in his hand.

When Qu Ling was satisfied, he put down his chopsticks and placed his hat in front of Qu Ling and said: "I heard that Mrs. Xiao's health is not good, please do not catch a cold."

The doubt in Qu Ling's heart grew, but he did not say anything as he took the hat and put it on.

After losing his hair, he felt chilled and insecure without his hat on.

Now that he had put on the hat and his head was warm, Qu Ling's mood became better. Out of the corner of his eyes, he quietly peeked at the direction of the door, and seeing that the little guy had successfully slipped out, he asked: "Is there anything Magistrate Zeng that I can help you with?"

Magistrate Zeng did not speak immediately. She personally poured a cup of tea and poured it in front of Qu Ling.

Qu Ling looked at him, held the teacup in his hand and thanked him.

Magistrate Zeng nodded, both his hands in his sleeves. After a long while, he opened his mouth: "I wonder if Mrs. Xiao has heard of Soul Borrowing Gu s before?"

Soul Borrowing Gu? Qu Ling was startled, he immediately shook his head: "I've never heard of it."

Seeing the disappointment on Magistrate Zeng's face, she paused for a moment, then asked: What's the use of the Soul Borrowing Gu?

The Magistrate Zeng sighed: "It's really useful, it can bring a person back from the dead."

Resurrection from the dead?

Qu Ling's face changed, the hand holding the teacup tightened.

Magistrate Zeng, who was already without hope, noticed her abnormality and hurriedly asked, "Has Mrs. Xiao heard of it?"

Qu Ling lowered his eyes.

After a long while, he exhaled and said softly, "I didn't know that thing was called 'Soul Borrowing Gu'."

This explained the first sentence that he had answered, "Never heard of it."

Without waiting for Magistrate Zeng to speak, Qu Ling asked with a smile that was not a smile: "What, someone at Magistrate Zeng's side used this Gu?"

Magistrate Zeng's face instantly became extremely unsightly, as a trace of awkwardness was hidden in his eyes.

After a long while, she said hoarsely, "It's my wife."
