Chapter 317: The Down-and-out Young Master x The Strange Killer (12)
Chi Yusi followed Gu Yuan and walked behind.
Quan Mo walked beside them with a polite smile on his face and a hint of friendliness in his eyes.
"It's not easy for you to travel from the capital to Lingnan.
It can be said that few people can make it here alive. It seems that you are very lucky to have made it here safely. "
But in an instant, the smile on his face remained, but his eyes became cold and deep, which was chilling.
Gu Yuan casually looked at the people in front of him, his expression didn't change much, and he looked calm.
"Your Excellency is right. They are extremely lucky to have met such a wonderful person like me."
Quan Mo was shocked by his shameless boasting.
That's clearly not what he meant. This eldest son of the Gu family really doesn't know what he's talking about.
Was he really the one who killed the king? He thought it was possible.
"Zi Mu, I feel a little unwell."
Chi Yusi's weak voice interrupted the confrontation between the two.
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, bent down and picked her up horizontally.
Chi Yusi exclaimed softly and subconsciously hugged his neck tightly.
"When did you become unwell? How long has it been?"
"It's been a while." Chi Yusi buried his head in his arms guiltily and said in a muffled voice:
"I just felt dizzy and nauseous a few times, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry."
"This is my body, how can you be so careless? No matter what, you should always put your body first.
And now, you and I can be said to be sharing life and death, and we must put ourselves first in everything."
'Gu Yuan' looked down at her, his brows slightly furrowed, full of seriousness and persistence.
Chi Yusi's index finger unconsciously hooked the collar of his shirt, and a slight chill seeped out from the edge of her finger.
A hint of bitterness rose in her mouth, as if she had just chewed unripe fruit, and the unbearable bitter taste spread across the tip of her tongue.
"...you, me...it's nothing." She was unable to express her feelings after all.
Quan Mo looked away thoughtfully.
……
"Since you have your own tents, I will have my men help you pack them up. You can rest here. If you want to leave, I will send someone to take you there."
Gu Heng bowed his head and saluted: "We thank the general."
"General, may I borrow the military doctor? My...she is feeling unwell."
Gu Yuan's icy voice sounded like snow in June, mixed with a hint of irritability.
Song Lingfeng nodded: "Of course, I'll send someone to call the military doctor."
After a while, the military doctor rushed over and gave Chi Yusi a careful diagnosis.
The military doctor's expression gradually became solemn, and everyone's heart began to rise.
"General, this girl... may have been poisoned by a very hidden poison. The poison is slowly corroding her internal organs. If she is not detoxified in time, her life may be in danger."
Gu Heng frowned and asked anxiously, "Do you know what kind of poison it is? How to cure it?"
The military doctor shook his head. "This poison is extremely rare. I can't identify it at the moment."
A cold light flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes, and a bloody murderous intent emerged: "Military doctor, do your best."
The military doctor shuddered and said, "Sir, I will try my best to find a way to detoxify you."
Chi Yusi's face was full of self-blame. If only he had been more careful, he wouldn't even know when he was poisoned.
It was she who dragged Zimu down and caused her health problems.
Gu Yuan could tell she was thinking too much and tapped her forehead gently. "This poison is already in my body. It's not your fault."
"Ah?" Chi Yusi raised her head with tears in her eyes.
"The antidote for this poison is to be taken once a month. Now that I'm not in the pavilion, there have been a lot of things to do these days, causing the poison to relapse early."
Everyone who enters the Killer Pavilion will take poison, which is given once a month. Some people who are particularly outstanding will be given an extra antidote.
Gu Yuan explained earnestly, and except for a few people in the Gu family who knew the situation, everyone else was confused by their conversation.
The person who was poisoned was obviously the girl, but the young man said it was his body.
Even if they are husband and wife, they would not say something that is obviously wrong.
The group of people were stunned for a while, and were then driven away by their general.
----
Main account.
"Dad..." Song Yunchen lowered his head and clasped his hands together guiltily.
"Who are those people?" Song Lingfeng looked at him seriously.
Song Yunchen recounted in detail what happened along the way.
His eyes were red: "Dad, my sister Wang who helped me died in the hands of those people. I want revenge..."
Yu Mo pondered for a long time and said cautiously:
“General, Gu Yuan is not as gentle and refined as the rumors say, and the woman next to him came from the Suicide Pavilion, both of them have bad intentions.
Not only did they kidnap the Third Prince, they also chose to come to the dangerous border. I'm afraid they have ulterior motives."
Song Lingfeng's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he chuckled: "If they have any other intentions, I will take their heads!"
……
At night, Gu Yuan stayed beside Chi Yu Si's wooden couch, tapping his knees with his fingers.
The things hidden in the Killer Pavilion and the people he couldn't remember forced him to go to the Killer Pavilion.
Chi Yusi held his hand uncomfortably and muttered in a daze: "Zi Mu..."
Gu Yuan patted her hand gently and said soothingly, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
With his comfort, Chi Yusi fell into a deep sleep again.
It was the middle of the night, and everything was silent. The forest was wrapped in thick darkness, like a dormant giant beast.
The fine drizzle came quietly, like a group of transparent elves, floating lightly from the deep sky.
The raindrops hit the leaves, making a rustling sound. The sound traveled far away in the silent night, again and again, knocking on the tranquility of the night.
There was a sudden noise outside the tent.
"who?!"
"Yingying? ! ! Is that you?" Xiao Shen, who hadn't fallen asleep yet and was looking at the night view, suddenly felt his pupils tremble and he exclaimed in surprise.
The sound of raindrops fell on Luo Lingying's face. She was grabbed by the border soldiers with both hands and could not move.
"Ah Shen, save me!"
"Let her go, she belongs to me!" Xiao Shen said angrily.
He took Luo Lingying into his arms and lifted her up by the waist.
'Gu Yuan' gently opened the curtain, the wind blew, and her hair flew.
"Xiao Shen, who is she?" Chu Ying pointed at the woman in his arms in disbelief.
They had been through thick and thin together these days and thought they would live like this forever, but who knew that he was hugging another woman!
Xiao Shen frowned unhappily: "This has nothing to do with you. Yingying saved me a few years ago. Don't meddle in other people's business."
Chu Ying murmured to herself in disappointment: "Yingying...so that's how it is."
It's ridiculous that she is actually someone else's stand-in!
