"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Who's looking at you? I'm just looking at how pretty my wife is. "
"Ha." Wei Ziyao scoffed. She couldn't be bothered with him. Then, she took out the jade flute that she had been hanging in the lab from her bracelet.
She was just an ordinary person who pretended to be cultured. There was a time when ancient music was popular, so she took the time to learn some ancient musical instruments.
She didn't expect it to come in handy now.
She blew on the jade flute, and the poisonous insects quickly disappeared. Soon, the village was clean.
But … when they counted the bandits in the courtyard and the villagers that they had kidnapped, they discovered a terrifying truth.
Not only were the soldiers who went up the mountain last night dead, but there were also thousands of people in the village and hundreds of civilians who had been kidnapped.
"The imperial court has been fighting with these bandits for so many years. We thought this was just a small village. Who would've thought that there were thousands of people hiding in the dark?"
"For him to hide like this, he must have some ulterior motives. He must be planning something shameful."
This group of bandits seemed to be doing something even stranger in the name of bandits.
"It's obvious that the idiot Fourth Brother has become these people's shield. They're relying on Fourth Brother's connections to prevent the people who came to suppress the bandits from touching them. In the end … they're actually doing these things in secret."
"That's true." Ki Chien-chul nodded. "Although it's risky to use the identity of bandits to hide, it's impossible to hide thousands of people in other places!"
The two checked around. The bandits and the kidnapped villagers were all killed by gu poison. The method was very cruel.
There were dozens of different gu worms in each corpse.
Fortunately, the host was dead, and the gu worms didn't survive.
However, this was already a shocking case.
After checking, the two quickly went down the mountain.
After they went down the mountain, Qi Yanqing found that Wei Ziyao was gone. He was furious.
Seeing her come back, he was furious.
"Where did you go?"
"I sneaked into the mountain alone to check it out," Wei Ziyao answered honestly, but Qi Yanqing was furious.
"How can you be so reckless? Why didn't you discuss this with me? I am the main commander of this operation. You acted on your own accord. Do you know … "
At this point, Qi Yanqing couldn't continue. He looked at Wei Ziyao's face and could only sigh softly.
"Junior Sister! If something really happens to you, how am I going to face Master? How am I going to explain it to your elder brother? How am I going to explain it to Sixth Brother? "
Looking at Qi Yanqing, Wei Ziyao seemed to understand an idiom, "Fuming with anger."
It seemed that he was really angry.
Wei Ziyao hurriedly explained, "Senior Brother, I know the Gu Technique. It's safer for me to go up alone. If I bring someone up and get exposed, it'll be worse. You should know what I mean."
How could Qi Yanqing not know? But he was also worried.
"If you don't want to bring anyone else, you should at least tell me. Do you think I'll drag you down?"
"Alright, Senior Brother! Now is not the time to talk about this. Bring a group of elites up the mountain. "
"What? How's the situation on the mountain? "Qi Yanqing had a rough idea when he heard that Wei Ziyao wanted them to go up the mountain directly.
"There's only one person on the mountain who used the gu worm. I've already killed him. The rest are all corpses. Thousands of corpses …"
"What?" Even someone who had been on the battlefield couldn't accept the fact that thousands of people had died.
"3,000 soldiers just died last night. Everyone on the mountain is dead too? Where are the people who were kidnapped? "
