Suddenly leaned over and held the side of her face with his palm.

His fingers were slender and white, and the hard calluses in his palms gently rubbed the side of her face. Under the bursts of itching, her wrinkled heart relaxed little by little.

"What's wrong with you?" She rarely showed the shyness of a girl and tilted her head slightly.

He turned his palm into a pinch, lifted her little face up, and said with a chuckle: "Is it possible that your Highness's IQ is not as good as Feng Wei's, and he knows how to follow him?"

She was in pain, shrank back, and covered her face with one hand: "Today, if you catch him unharmed, I will reward you with something."

When he heard this, he became interested and asked, "What reward?"

"There's no need to ask in advance. You have to understand clearly the premise of my reward..." She paused and said in a more serious tone: "First, you are unharmed. Second, catch Feng Wei."

She deliberately teased him, "Don't do it the other way around. You are covered in bruises and were caught by Feng Wei."

This sentence was taboo in ancient times, especially before a war.

In particular, a little girl, even the county lord, cannot say such unlucky words to His Highness the Xian King.

Everyone present took a breath of air and stared with big eyes, not daring to say a word.

"Hahaha..." Unexpectedly, the majestic King Xian, instead of being angry, actually looked up to the sky and laughed.

It's as if she told a big joke.

"Do you underestimate my highness?" he asked with a smile.

"I only look at strength and results!"

She stood still, with her hands behind her back, her head slightly raised, her autumn eyes warm, "I want to give you a reward legitimately."

"Okay!" His dark eyes focused on hers, "I will decide your reward."

With his legs clamped together, he spurred his horse forward quickly.

Many soldiers got on their horses and followed.

Xia Qianqian stood on tiptoe and looked. Under the dark night, rows of torches were like fire dragons, traveling between heaven and earth and gradually disappearing.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Xia Qianqian calmed down and said, "Let's go back to the hospital and take a look."

Geng Zhong was afraid that she would be in danger, "Girl, I have ordered people to seal this place. All matters will be dealt with when the cooper and the witch doctor arrive."

"We don't have time to wait," she insisted.

While walking to the backyard, she explained: "Gu insects are difficult to cultivate, but once cultivated successfully, they are very easy to reproduce. Their eggs fly in the wind, fall to the ground, and contaminate people's bodies. When the time is right, they will enter

Human body."

"They can lie dormant for years or decades. During this period, they use human body nutrients to nourish themselves, split into thousands of them, and consume human essence and blood."

"Once people die, they break out of the eggs, and a new generation, a new generation... From then on, the descendants and descendants reproduce endlessly."

Geng Zhong felt cold sweat break out on his back and stammered: "Girl...girl, didn't you say they are not easy to cultivate?"

"Yes!",

She sighed lowly, "The original Gu worm eggs, the first eggs, often require cultivators to work hard, sum up experience from countless failures, and select in every possible way to collect the first Gu worm with such powerful vitality.

."

She turned her head, looked at Geng Zhong, and then looked at Xia Chengan, who was following silently, "Those dirty things are really bloody and tough, you better not listen to them."

What?

Are these two grown men still afraid?

Xia Chengan and Geng Zhong looked at each other, not knowing how to answer the question.

Returning to the backyard, she took out a palm-sized transparent box from her messenger bag, sprinkled some pink powder into the box, and placed it on the head of the corpse.

After a moment, the roots of the corpse's hair began to move, and strips of pink, earthworm-like things broke out of the body. They swarmed to the box and drilled into it through the small holes on the lid.

Collect ten corpses one by one, and collect the Gu worms in each corpse one by one.

She does these things herself, skillfully and seasonedly.

On her small face, the immature girlish aura has not completely faded away, and those black stone-like eyes are like the brightest stars in the sky, giving people unlimited hope.

Xia Chengan stared at her for a moment, his eyes never blinking.

He still has three sons in his family.

His son can be regarded as one of the best among men. Among all the princes in the capital, he is one of the best in terms of knowledge, talent, and elegant temperament.

If compared with the girl in front of them, they are far behind.

She is small in stature and can only be considered delicate in appearance. She has a strong aura of a country woman in every gesture.

In particular, in her words and deeds towards His Royal Highness, she did not have the humility or respect of a daughter from a noble family.

Sometimes, she blurts out unruly words, which is really treasonous.

Such people are disgusting.

But she looks so eye-catching when she stands in the crowd.

Just like him now, looking at her, he couldn't turn his eyes away.

Just like a majestic golden-armored guard, His Highness's personal bodyguard, he is now transformed into her little follower, being directed east and west by her, and dispatched at will, with great pleasure.

She is a peculiar girl.

In the transparent box on the ground, pink bugs are crowded and entangled, twisting and rolling in a dizzying way, and it is impossible to tell clearly where the head is and where the tail is.

Xia Qianqian picked up the box, took a look at it, and then put it into her crossbody bag.

"Wait, girl..."

Xia Chengan kept looking at her. When he saw this, he shouted to dissuade her, "What if the lid is not closed properly... What if they run out..."

Is he worried about her?

Xia Qianqian had a calm look on her face and handed the box in her hand to Xia Chengan, "How about the Marquis help you put it away?"

"How can I do this?"

Xia Chengan reflexively took a big step back, and quickly retracted the cuff of his outstretched hand.

The person who always had a rigid face had a hint of panic in his thick eyebrows and sharp eyes.

"Hey hey hey!" Xia Qianqian held the box and couldn't help laughing, "Is the Marquis scared?"

Afraid?

Of course I will be afraid!

Gu insects have no eyes.

Bloodthirsty and ruthless.

He is a dignified Marquis of Pingyang and has assisted three generations of monarchs with boundless merits.

In the historical records of Daqian Kingdom, he must be the most colorful page.

If so, about the cause of his death.

He didn't die on the battlefield or in the government or the public, but died from Gu insects.

This way of death is enough to cover up the magnificence of his life.

When future generations mention him, the focus is no longer on his achievements, but everyone will be curious about what kind of poisonous insect poisoned him to death.

"Who is afraid?"

He was afraid, but he couldn't say he was afraid.

How could the dignified Marquis Pingyang lose face in front of a little girl?

"You damn duck has a tough mouth!" she muttered.

What?

Does this dead duck refer to him?

Offended, the anger that was stuck in Xia Chengan's heart suddenly exploded, "Xia Qianqian, watch your words."

His whole face turned red, whether it was from the torch or from anger.

"Okay!" Xia Qianqian restrained her temper at the right time and said to herself: "The pink powder in this box has a hypnotic effect. Once the poisonous insects enter, they will fall asleep and will not run around."

She stroked the Gu worms inside with her fingers through the glass, "Keep them, I still have use for them."

Geng Zhong looked disgusted, "Girl, the box is so safe, or I will keep it."

"No need." She casually put the box into her cross-body bag.

Let your wrist stay in the cross-body bag for a while, and take advantage of this gap to put it into the Ruyi bracelet.

Using Gu insects to wage war is equivalent to modern bacterial biochemical warfare.

She must detect the cell sequences of these Gu insects in the shortest possible time, and then determine what biological DNA is contained in the previous generation cells in their bodies.

In this way, it may be possible to deduce where these Gu insects once parasitized in the state of eggs.
