It would be better to be a piece of jade than to be whole. What a great nobleman of the Wei State with backbone... Is Su Wang Ji Run?
The aloof witch watched quietly from the side.
She glanced at Zhao Hongrun, but only once.
It's a pity that no matter how brave a person is, he can't survive for long...
She sighed slightly and slowly turned the barbecue in her hands.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun and the little witch Mi Rui were staring at each other in a competitive manner.
To put it nicely, neither of the two parties wanted to lose their momentum, but to put it harshly, it just looked like they were angry.
To be fair, Zhao Hongrun is not exaggerating. You must know that Qi and Lu are allies against Chu, while Wei and Wei are allies against South Korea. Therefore, when Qi and Wei form an alliance, they are equivalent to Qi and Wei,
Lu, Wei and the Four Kingdoms Alliance.
Furthermore, if Zhao Hongrun really encounters an accident in Chu State, the severity of this bad news will be far more serious than when the envoys of Chu State were attacked in Yongqiu of Wei State. As the emperor of Wei, he is now the most respected and loved one.
One of his two sons, once Zhao Hongrun encounters something unexpected in Chu State, I believe that neither the Emperor of Wei nor the Wei court will give up and will definitely send troops to attack Chu State.
Once the Wei State intends to send troops, King Xi of Qi, who has long wanted to destroy Chu, will definitely respond and send troops. At that time, the Lu State, which is dependent on Qi State, will also join. Qi, Wei, and Lu will join forces to attack Chu State.
It is irreparable.
But the problem is, if Zhao Hongrun really dies unfortunately, what's the point of worrying about it?
The reason why he gave the warning was just to scare the two witches.
He would not compromise because of the threat. In this case, it was necessary to ensure that the two witches would not become angry and kill him.
As for the heart-eating poison, Zhao Hongrun believed that as long as he could survive it until he was on the verge of death, these two witches would still be able to cure him of the poison.
Unless, the other party actually does not intend to help Chu State, but intends to retaliate against Chu State...
However, from what Mi Rui called Chu and the tone of her address, Zhao Hongrun could tell that the other party really loved their country. Therefore, after Zhao Hongrun gave them that warning, the other party would not watch him die.
.
But before that, it was a long process of fighting for strength and endurance.
Even though Zhao Hongrun seemed calm, in fact he was nervous to death. After all, Mi Rui told him that the heart-eating Gu would slowly eat his heart. How painful would it be to have his heart eaten away?!
Cold sweat slowly trickled down from Zhao Hongrun's forehead.
I have to say that waiting is a very painful thing, let alone waiting for a nightmare like torture.
It was simply painful.
Time passed slowly.
Zhao Hongrun, who was full of nervousness, waited for a long time, but he found strangely that there was nothing unusual about him.
"That heart-eating Gu...when will it take effect?"
Zhao Hongrun asked Mi Rui calmly for the first time since his fall out.
The little miko Mirui was seen standing in front of Zhao Hongrun with her arms folded in front of her chest, paying condescending attention to Zhao Hongrun's condition.
After hearing Zhao Hongrun's inquiry, she seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness between the two of them just now, and murmured in confusion: "It's strange, it should have happened long ago..."
"Is your Gu insect expired? I mean...ineffective?"
"How is that possible!" Mi Rui argued nervously: "I cultivated it myself, how could it fail?"
"But..." Zhao Hongrun looked down at himself and said in an inexplicable tone: "There has been no movement at all."
"One...it must be because the weather is too cold." Mi Rui gave a very far-fetched reason.
In order to prove her confidence, she simply cut off all the ropes that tied Zhao Hongrun with a dagger. She deliberately said in a gloomy tone: "Just watch, it won't be long before you kneel down in pain and beg for mercy."
Do you want to tell her that her deliberately weird tone, combined with her baby-fat face, does not scare people at all, but... it just looks really stupid.
"..." Glancing at Mi Rui, Zhao Hongrun moved his somewhat stiff wrists and wisely did not say what was in his heart, so as not to irritate the other party and create unnecessary complications.
He had not considered whether to use force to force the other party to hand over the anti-poison medicine. After all, his force was nothing to the two witches, so why would he humiliate himself?
So, he sat cross-legged with his back against the pillars of the room, quietly waiting for the poisonous insects to attack.
He wanted these two witches to understand that it was impossible to make him surrender using this method!
But I don't know what happened. After waiting for a long time, the Gu insect still didn't move at all.
"How could this happen?"
Xi Rui put her hands on her hips and tapped her left foot impatiently on the ground. After tapping her left foot, she switched to tapping her right foot. The impatience on her face became more and more obvious.
Brother, am I really gifted and invulnerable to all poisons?
Zhao Hongrun also touched his chest and abdomen with both hands in a daze, with a look of surprise on his face.
He never thought that in addition to his super memory, he also had a body that could be said to be invulnerable to all poisons.
"Hehehe..." He couldn't help but smile mockingly at Mi Rui.
Xi Rui puffed up her face angrily and threatened reluctantly: "Don't be complacent, I will make you look good soon!"
"You said it won't be long, how long exactly is it? How do I feel that it has been a long time?"
"Well..."
Mi Rui bit her lip and was speechless. She was secretly annoyed at how the heart-eating Gu she cultivated had lost its effect.
In this way, after a while, Zhao Hongrun still showed no abnormality at all.
At this time, even the aloof witch felt a little surprised. She stood up and walked over to her sister, wondering: "Sister, did you really give him the heart-eating poison?"
"It's true!" Mi Rui said hurriedly: "He and I both saw it with our own eyes."
"..." The cold witch turned to look at Zhao Hongrun.
Although this situation seemed a bit strange, Zhao Hongrun still shrugged and told the other party clearly: "She is not right."
"That shouldn't be the case..." The cold witch examined the wound on the back of Zhao Hongrun's hand suspiciously. Suddenly, she asked, "Sister, did you pick up the wrong jar again?"
"How could it be!" Perhaps her pride was hurt by her sister's words, Mi Rui angrily took out a bamboo jar from the cloth belt around her waist and said: "Sister, look, isn't this the jar that holds the heart-eating poison?
!”
"Open it and take a look." The cold witch said calmly.
"You still don't believe me!" Mi Rui opened the lid of the can angrily. Holding the can in her right hand, she turned the can upside down on the palm of her left hand, moved it twice, and said angrily: "Sister, look, this is not empty...
"
At this point, her voice stopped suddenly, and a caterpillar-like insect as thick as a chopstick head fell on her palm. Its body as thick as a chopstick head was covered with hair-like worms.
No matter whether it was tentacles or insect hairs, Zhao Hongrun felt creepy.
"..."
"..."
The Mi sisters stared at the Gu worm, and then looked at each other again.
"Eh? That's weird..." Mi Rui scratched her forehead with her little hand and muttered, "Then what did I just take?"
"Look for it quickly!" A look of anxiety appeared in the eyes of the cold witch, and she said in a deep voice: "What if it is a poisonous insect that is fatal in a short period of time! ... He cannot die!"
Obviously, this cold witch still listened to Zhao Hongrun's threats to them.
Fatal in a short period of time?...This stupid girl!!!
At this moment, Zhao Hongrun really wanted to jump up and bite this stupid girl to death.
Not a professional miko?
Why did he even get the wrong Gu worm?
"oh……"
Mi Rui, who was scolded by her sister, quickly knelt down on the ground and took out all the bamboo cans from the cloth belt around her waist.
Looking at the dozen or twenty jars placed on the ground, Zhao Hongrun felt a twitching in the corner of his eye.
"This is not, this is not, this is... is still there..."
Mi Rui muttered as she carefully checked the bamboo jars to see if the poisonous insects were still there.
Suddenly, her movements stopped, and the bamboo jar in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"What's wrong, sister?" the cold witch asked tightly.
Mi Rui was seen kneeling on the ground, her head shrunk, her hands holding the corners of her clothes, and she whispered: "It's over..."
Zhao Hongrun was so frightened that he sat up immediately after hearing this. He pointed at Mi Rui and asked nervously: "You... what are you doing? Please explain it clearly to me." After thinking about it, he added: "If it's because you took the wrong Gu,
As a result, I will die with my eyes closed. Even if I die, I will turn into a ghost and come to you."
While scolding, he smiled bitterly in his heart: This is nothing!
"..." Looking at Zhao Hongrun who was a little excited, the cold witch asked in a low voice: "Deadly poisonous poison?"
Xi Rui fiddled with her fingers and whispered: "It's fatal even if it's fatal, but it's not very fatal even if it's not fatal..."
"What kind of poison is it?" The cold witch asked a little impatiently.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mi Rui blushed and whispered: "That... um... love... Qing Gu (the word Qing, Gu is blocked, so use Qing Gu instead)."
"What?" The cold witch was stunned when she heard this, and immediately frowned: "Sister, you mean, you gave him your green Gu by mistake?"
I saw Mi Rui fiddling with her fingers while secretly looking at her sister's face. After a long time, she whispered: "It's not mine, it's... it's yours, sister..."
"..." The cold witch was stunned when she heard this. She subconsciously rummaged through the bag on her waist, and then asked with a huge change of expression: "Why is my sister's green Gu at your place?"
"I...I wanted to take it over to tease it while you were sleeping last night..." Ji Rui shrank her head and said innocently: "I forgot to return it..."
There was silence throughout the house, except for the cold wind that was still blowing outside the window.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The three of them looked at each other speechlessly.
After a long while, Zhao Hongrun glanced at Mi Rui, who was still kneeling on the ground solemnly, shook his head, and sighed with pity.
Apart from a cute face, this stupid girl is really useless... (To be continued.)
