Chapter 679: Seizing the Opportunity
She couldn't move her hand away, so she could only turn sideways and push him aside with her butt.
As soon as the little purple ivy snake head reached her wrist, she shrank back in fear as if she was electrocuted.
"Don't come here!" She said with a serious face, "These poisons can't hurt me."
"Be careful!" Ji Zimo was still frightened, and the others were also feeling chilly.
Xia Qianqian shook off her sleeves, and some powdery stuff floated out and fell into the palm of her hand.
She rubbed her hands together, spread the powder evenly on the outside of her gloves, and approached the body again.
When his fingers stretched towards the corpse's neck, the purple vines did not rush forward this time. Instead, they shrank back as if they were suppressed by the blood.
Visible to the naked eye, the purple lines shrink back.
"It's a poisonous insect!" Xia Cheng'an blurted out, "In the southern barbarian land, witch doctors are everywhere. What they are best at is raising various kinds of poisonous insects. They use their bodies to nourish the poisonous insects and use them to harm people."
"Yes, it's a Gu insect."
Xia Qianqian confirmed Xia Chengan's conclusion.
She examined the ten corpses one by one, and with each corpse she uncovered, the horror in everyone's hearts increased.
The patterns on each corpse are different.
There are vine-like shapes, cord-like shapes, clustered stars, irregular square shapes...
They have different shapes and postures. The only thing they have in common is that as long as someone touches the corpse, the Gu insects will easily sense it and quickly transfer to the body of the person who touches it.
Geng Zhong was horrified, "Girl, my brothers just moved these corpses, they won't..."
"Call them all. During this period, everyone they have come into contact with will also be summoned." Xia Qianqian's cold and calm voice made people feel heart palpitations.
"Yes!"
In a moment, at the gate of the house, the torch lit up half of the sky red, and a hundred soldiers stood on guard one meter at a time. Under the night, it was dark and full of people.
Xia Qianqian stood at the door. Each soldier came to her in turn, lifted up their sleeves and collars, and asked her to check the condition of their skin.
Everyone who has completed the examination needs to go to Geng Zhong, receive another black poison-proof elixir, and take it.
Half an hour later, everyone had finished checking.
Xia Qianqian breathed a long sigh of relief and said with emotion: "I'm so lucky, they are all very good."
"My master left me an ancient book. The book records that there is a kind of poisonous insect that is ingested by people in the form of eggs and enters the human body. They reproduce very quickly. From the time a person dies to breaking out of an egg, it only takes
Three hours."
"These soldiers touched the corpses just after the hosts died. At that time, the poisonous bugs were still eggs and not aggressive, so they were fine."
Under the firelight, her small face exudes a warm luster, making people unable to take their eyes away. "But once they turn into adults, they are more aggressive and destructive than the Apis agratus."<

Xia Chengan has lived for such a long time, hanging out in the court all day long, and has seen a lot of all kinds of dark and dirty things.
Even so, he still said angrily: "Feng Wei, you are so heartless."
Everyone looked solemn and silent.
Xia Qianqian let out a long sigh and said quietly: "Gu worms are more difficult to cultivate than the black-lined squirrels. Feng Wei spent all his energy cultivating them. How could his purpose be just a few slaves?"
Geng Zhong looked livid, "He must have wanted to hurt His Highness's golden-armored guard."
Xia Qianqian shook her head, looking at Ji Zimo with increasingly worried eyes, "His goal has always been His Highness."
Geng Zhong was puzzled, "He put the poisonous insects on these slaves. How could he be sure that His Highness would come into contact with these people? If His Highness didn't come, wouldn't his conspiracy fail?"
Geng Zhong is the only one with a straight mind among the golden armored guards. I don’t know why Ji Zimo favors him.
Xia Qianqian answered, "Feng Wei knows His Highness well and knows me even better, so he has concluded two things."
She had a complicated look on her face, "First of all, His Highness will definitely handle the plague issue personally. Once the body is discovered, Your Highness will definitely come and see it in person."
"His Highness likes to do things personally. At this step, he may personally inspect the corpse. If he touches it, he will definitely be attacked."
"If this step fails, if the soldiers who moved the corpses become ill in the future, Your Highness will still come to see them, and they may be exposed to poisonous insects."
"The last step..." A sad smile appeared on Xia Qianqian's young cheeks, "A few servants in the house have died, and I may not come to see them. But if the golden-armored guards get sick in large numbers, based on my relationship with His Highness, I will definitely
I will go there personally to check, diagnose and treat."
"Once I come into contact with those soldiers and become infected by the poisonous insects, your Highness will definitely suffer from it if he is close to me."
"Actually, I'm a little worried."
Xia Qianqian paused and took a deep breath, "According to Feng Wei's temperament, he would rather have the jade broken than the whole thing. He wants to harm His Highness and let His Highness die, which can no longer satisfy him."
She felt heavy, "The best way to destroy His Highness is to destroy the things he cares about."
"The foundation of Daqian Country, the people of Daqian Country, and the people most cherished by the Palace Master are all targets of Feng Wei's attack."
"Cuttlefish." She called out affectionately, "At this stage, I can't tell how far the plague and worms will spread among the population."
"Both of these two epidemics, no matter which one, are like gangrene in the bones. Once they spread, they cannot be controlled. The national destiny of the country will be damaged, and the consequences will be unimaginable."
Her voice was low, and every word and sentence was like a heavy hammer beating a drum, and the buzzing sound echoed in everyone's ears.
When everyone heard this, they felt complicated and heavy.
Feng Wei's strategy is profound and he calculates every step of people's hearts so accurately.
The only thing he missed was Xia Qianqian.
She is not the same person.
Her five senses are sensitive, and as soon as she enters this place, she catches a faint strange smell in the air.
That's the scent of the poisonous insects that have broken out of their eggs, eaten away at the human body crazily, and metabolized.
Ordinary people can't tell, she is not an ordinary person.
She relied on her breath to quickly identify the differences on the corpses, and then accurately found the deadly Gu.
If you predict it in advance, you will have the opportunity to prevent the development of this matter in advance.
Under the silver mask, the young man's face was ugly, his hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists, and the cold air emanating from his body was terrifying.
Xia Qianqian understood that he was angry.
The purpose of letting Feng Wei go was to fish out the person behind the scenes in the capital.
He thought that everything was under his control. Who would have thought that things were getting more and more out of his control?
"Don't be upset!"
She stepped forward slowly, gently grabbed his sleeve, and shook it, "Feng Wei's plan will definitely not succeed. Because, you have me by your side."
She said it solemnly, which warmed his heart.
"I will stop Feng Wei's behavior and restore peace and prosperity to Daqian Country."
He patted the back of her hand and pulled the sleeve out of her hand.
Normally, his hands are gentle.
Today, his palms were cold and covered with fine sweat.
"You go back home first and wait for the news!" He got on his horse and said condescendingly: "I will definitely do what I promised you."
What he promised refers to Xia Chi's safety.
Xia Qianqian understood this, trotted forward, reached out and grabbed the hem of his robe, raised her eyes, and said, "Promise me not to put yourself in danger."
When she said this, Xia Qianqian felt heavy.
Their eyes met each other, and their eyes intertwined in the air, like a rope, penetrated through her eyes, penetrated into her chest, and wrapped around her heart, getting tighter and tighter.
From then on, her bohemian and freedom-loving heart finally had a tie that she couldn't get rid of.
