Yuwen He's face finally had a hint of a smile, and he ordered Chong Yang and Chong Yue: "Ink, brush and paper, record everything that a Gu Master Weng Dai needs, get it done as soon as possible."
Finally, he added, "If you delay the time because of you guys, come and look for me."
Chong Yang straightened his back and said simultaneously: "Understood!"
When Chong Yue went to grind them, the one who was writing them was Tang Jingzhi who did not speak for a long while.
Weng Dai looked at Tang Jingzhi meaningfully for a moment, then started to count everything he wanted. As a doctor, he naturally understood what Weng Dai wanted one by one, and when his eyes fell on Tang Jingzhi many times, he did not say anything related to the treatment of the parasite.
The first thing Weng Dai wanted them to look for was poisonous insects, and the more poisonous they were, the better. After that, he also needed to find a lot of medicinal ingredients, and the list of them would be filled up with a piece of paper. After Tang Jingzhi finished recording all the medicinal ingredients, he would give the list to Weng Dai for final confirmation.
Fortunately, Chong Yue had the experience of collecting poisonous bugs for the Empress, so he was much calmer towards the scorpions, centipedes, toads, and other items on the list.
After determining what the parasite needed to prepare, Weng Dai and Tang Ze did not stay any longer. They both left, and Chong Yue brought along his new mission to leave.
Yuwen He, Vice General Yang and the others who were left in the main hall immediately fell silent.
Tang Jingzhi was the first to let out a cold laugh, "These two people have truly put on an interesting show."
Yuwen He also laughed, "And your acting is also superb, it can be said to be both divine and flawless."
It was because they knew that Yuwen He would not easily believe their words just because of a few words, but unfortunately, time was of the essence, and they couldn't wait any longer, so they hurriedly created the Gu worm's berserk mode outside the city. They wanted him to make sure that even if he did not trust Weng Dai, the so called Keeper of the Southern Wilderness, he still had to let go to expel the Gu.
This move was to put one's life on the line and live.
Chess was dangerous, but it was effective.
At the very least, the current situation was what they wanted.
Next, it was up to him, the chess player, to arrange his troops.
Originally, this game of chess was a matter of life and death. Since the other party was trying to turn the tides, he might as well go with the flow.
Victory or death was entirely in the hands of the chess players.
Yuwen Xiao and Yang Junda looked each other in the eye, and said while rubbing their noses, "When big brother talked about the Gu worms outside the city, that Tang Ze fellow immediately asked about the situation of the Gu worms outside the city. He was so worried that he probably did not expect that such a reaction which he thought was only normal would expose his preparation."
Yang Junda laughed: "Indeed, this was originally a normal person's reaction, but it's precisely because this is a reaction that a normal person should have, that's why it appears on his body. For example, someone from the famous Tang Clan who is more cautious than anyone else and claims to have come to remove the Hong Xiang Gu from outside the city, how could he be so stupid as to require someone to explain it with a single sentence? "
His purpose was too obvious. The first reaction of this kind of ordinary person to appear in his body was too unnatural.
This kind of person should be able to understand everything at once.
It was the complete opposite of how he acted yesterday.
When a person lies and disguises himself as someone else, he or she can easily forget what he or she looks like after disguising himself or herself.
Yuwen He's thin lips curled up as he looked to the side and instructed Chong Yang who was beside his, "Chong Yang, arrange the people in the west wing, don't miss out on an interesting moment of theirs."
"Yes sir!"
Tang Jingzhi asked again: "Then do you still want me to run errands and squat in the corner?"
Yuwen He smiled lightly, and under Tang Jingzhi's eyes that was filled with anticipation, he laughed: "Such an honorable and difficult mission, other than you, I can't think of anyone else who can accomplish it."
"…"
Tang Jingzhi ground his teeth in his heart: Yuwen He, you old fox who tried his best!
Emperor Dog!
"They took great pains to come to Yanzhou City and recommend themselves to your side. Their goal should be to make use of the chance to remove the Gu, creating more trouble. It's best to take precautions against this matter."
The delicate voice of a woman suddenly rang out.
Everyone in the hall turned towards the source of the voice. Who else could it be but the empress who stood against the light at the door?
Yuwen He's brows slightly furrowed, as he turned his face away.
Tang Jingzhi looked at him, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was: Is the dog-emperor really angry?
But he did not speak: some things were better said secretly in his heart, if he said them out loud, he would be in trouble.
Xiao Ruyue held Yin Lin's hand and walked across the threshold. Seeing that Yuwen He had turned his face away, Xiao Ruyue was not in a hurry to go up, and instead looked at Tang Jingzhi and said: "Mr. Tang, Big Sister Ya Yin asked me to tell you something. From now on, the two of us are much more difficult to deal with than you think.
Tang Jingzhi was startled at first, but then nodded happily, "I will."
It was such a rare occasion for Liangqiu Yayin to pay attention to him, how could he not be happy?
Yuwen Xiao and Vice General Yang stood up and saluted Xiao Ruyue. "Greetings, esteemed empress."
Xiao Ruyue also smiled and replied with a bow, "General Yang, no need to stand on formalities."
After the greeting, Yuwen Xiao no longer considered himself to be an outsider, he took a step forward, "Sister-in-law, your stomach is getting bigger, it's better not to walk around, in case I worry."
What he said actually had a hidden meaning behind it.
Judging from his brother's character, one could tell that he was in an awkward situation unless he was blind.
Otherwise, when he saw the esteemed empress today, his eyes would have shone. How could he sit still?
Xiao Ruyue could naturally understand the meaning behind his words, and replied with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Great General, but the child is still young and needs to walk more. You can't sit in your room and not move all day, can you? "
"Sister-in-law, are you interested in taking a walk in the army?" When the soldiers heard that you, sister-in-law, had entered the Yanzhou again, they all looked forward to meeting the empress. "In the previous battle, the soldiers had already witnessed the empress's heroism. They said she was a good role model and hoped for another one."
The general was anxious for the world to be at peace, so he took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
Xiao Ruyue's expression did not change as she laughed, "Great General, if you do not mind, I also want to take a look around the army. I am afraid that with my body, and the fact that I am a woman, going to the army will bring trouble to Great General."
"Sister-in-law is the mother of a country. Your presence in the army is the fortune of your subjects and the soldiers. How can you say that you are creating trouble?" Yuwen Xiao spoke seriously, "If sister-in-law is willing, Chendi will prepare a carriage."
"Thank you for your help!"
Before she could even say the three words "Great General", Yuwen He coldly interrupted her and said, "Yuwen Xiao, you seem to be very relaxed in military affairs, right? I still have a lot of memorials, do you want to take a look? "
The smile in the depths of a great general's eyes grew wider. He shrugged his shoulders and bowed towards Xiao Ruyue, "Then Chendi will take his leave.
Before leaving, he did not forget to add more firewood.
It was enough that the matter of fanning the flames and adding oil to the fire had reached this point. If he were to stay any longer, it would be difficult to say.
Xiao Ruyue said as she walked slowly out of the room.
The atmosphere in the hall turned cold.
Yuwen He's gaze slowly fell on Xiao Ruyue's body. Her originally bright eyes did not have a trace of smile, and what remained was only an ice-cold gaze.
The smile on Xiao Ruyue's face had also disappeared completely.
The atmosphere suddenly dropped to ice. The originally cold October weather was now like winter, and the snow that covered the sky seemed to have frozen. Tang Jingzhi and Yin Lin rubbed their hands together, as if by arrangement, they were completely frozen.
Xiao Ruyue looked at Yuwen He.
No one spoke for a long time.
Xiao Ruyue turned around and instructed Yin Lin, "Go back."
Yin Lin hesitated as she looked at Yuwen He with a cold face. She did not dare disobey Xiao Ruyue, so she supported Xiao Ruyue and left slowly.
Yuwen He stared at Xiao Ruyue's leaving figure, a complicated expression in his eyes.
Chong Yang looked at Tang Jingzhi, and asked silently: What should I do?
Tang Jingzhi shrugged with a look of helplessness. "How would I know?
It would already be very difficult for him to chase after Xiao Yayin, and he was even less able to help with the matter of Yuwen He and his wife quarreling.
For matters of the heart, a highly ranked expert like Yuwen He basically did not need his help.
It all depended on what he wanted to do.
However, for the Empress to use her own blood to nourish the Gu was an extremely taxing and tiring matter. Yuwen He, who viewed the Empress as a precious treasure and was afraid of losing it in his mouth, would definitely not accept this.
Tang Jingzhi looked at Yuwen He's cold face and raised an eyebrow at him. He was betting that Yuwen He would compromise first.
Chong Yang was speechless for a moment, "…"
With such a tense atmosphere, Mr. Tang, don't make fun of me, I really can't laugh.
Tang Jingzhi pursed his lips and said to Yuwen He: "I will go to the west wing to look for the two people." With that, he left.
Chong Yang's heart almost collapsed.
How could he be left alone to face the cold Emperor?
My little heart can't take it.
After exiting the hall, Xiao Ruyue was not in a hurry to rest, she was being escorted to the flower garden.
Just as she was about to pass through the Moon Cave Gate, she heard someone call out to her from behind. Xiao Ruyue suddenly turned around, and saw Qiu Yin rushing over.
Xiao Ruyue was startled, "What rare guest?"
Autumn Word blurted out, "Empress doesn't know?"
With that, he looked at Yin Lin.
It was obvious that Yin Lin was a person who knew about this.
Xiao Ruyue also looked at her, waiting for an explanation.
Yin Lin and Qiu Yin exchanged glances, they were certain of something, and then said: "Wenshansu should have arrived two days ago, but because of the delay on the road, we arrived today. His Majesty was afraid that you would be happy for nothing, so he instructed you to tell me when Wenshansu arrives. "
So, this was the surprise that he had said earlier on the road.
After saying this, she seemed to have more to say, but after hesitating for a bit, she swallowed her words back.
But even if she didn't say it, Xiao Ruyue could guess what she wanted to say. His gaze turned indifferent as he asked Qiuyan, "Where's the Gui Shi?"
