And the person in front of her took out a small knife, then suddenly smiled, "Whether there's more inside or not, you'll know once you take off this face." As a shadow guard, if he didn't smile for a long time, then his fake facial paralysis would become real facial paralysis. So when he suddenly smiled, wouldn't that be especially terrifying? However, what really made Yaorao afraid was the content of those words.
As a woman whose face was the most important weapon, Yaorao had always maintained her beauty. Don't look at how she didn't care about those human skin masks, even if they were ordinary or even ugly, they were only needed to conceal her identity. So, to some extent, her face was more important than her life. Looking at the current situation, he wanted to peel off her face?
How could Yaorao still care about seducing people, "Don't, don't, let me go … …" She fiercely struggled, but because she was tied up, the so-called struggle was merely shaking her head left and right, trying to get rid of that hand.
Yaorao was released as she wished, but the next moment, an ice- cold knife fell on her face. This time, Yaorao didn't dare to move again, her eyes stared down at that knife. Just by looking at it, she knew that it was incomparably sharp. She feared that if she moved, her beautiful face would be cut. Soon after, she coldly looked at the person in front of her, as if she wanted to eat that person.
However, this was merely a dangerous look in her eyes, so what was the use of it?
Shua, the side of Yaorao's face was cut by that knife. It wasn't deep, probably just enough to break her skin, slowly forming a line of blood. The slight stinging pain even made Yaorao dazed for a split second, soon after, she let out a mournful shriek. She was caught off guard, and the closer she got, the stronger the 'attack' she received was. The facial paralysis standing in front of her instantly cracked, and resisted the action of rubbing his ears.
But before he could take any further action, Yaorao cursed loudly, "Disgraceful thing, you actually dare to injure my face, you actually dare to … …"
The shadow guard expressionlessly brushed his hand twice, using his action to tell her that there was nothing he didn't dare to do.
Yaorao seemed as if she was about to collapse, shouting and screaming. She completely didn't care about the image she usually maintained.
Since it didn't work, she changed the target. "Li Hongyuan, are you a man or not? How could you do such a thing? Even the women in the inner courtyard are rarely like you."
The air seemed to stagnate. Li Hongyuan's subordinates looked at Yaorao with a bit of 'admiration'. This was the first time they had seen such a 'courageous' person. However, their master was not a person who was easily provoked. Whether your words had any effect or not, many times, it depended on his mood.
Li Hongyuan was originally sitting leisurely, his head lowered as he fiddled with the jade thumb ring on his hand. At this moment, he raised his head, "Noisy, An Wu, take off the skin and then slice off the meat. In any case, in this manor, no amount of meat will go to waste."
Li Hongyuan's voice seemed to be lower than before, a bit deeper. Hearing this, the people around him couldn't help but have their hair stand on end. They thought, Master was indeed not right during this period of time. Right now, it was only becoming more and more obvious. This also meant that it could possibly explode at any time. That kind of Master was absolutely dangerous.
Yaorao still wanted to say something, but in the next moment, An Wu slashed horizontally. The two sides of her mouth, extending to her cheeks, were all cut open. If she opened her mouth, it would probably become a real bloody mouth.
Yaorao's pupils rapidly contracted. However, she also couldn't say anything because her neck was firmly gripped.
An Wu thought, his skinning technique was actually very good. A thin layer could be completely intact without the slightest bit of opening. After that, the recovery was actually quite fast. Tsk, why couldn't she be obedient?
A rope was inserted horizontally into Yaorao's mouth, strangling to the deepest part of the wound. Soon after, Yaorao's head was fixed to the wooden stake behind her. In this way, if she still had the courage to shake her head, An Wu actually didn't mind a bit of trouble when he made his move. In any case, this face was already damaged. It didn't matter if there was more meat on the skin. To him, although it was a failure, it also didn't matter.
It was just a practice for him to practice. No matter how beautiful a woman was, this kind of appearance couldn't make her beautiful. Normal people wouldn't look at it. Those who were timid would probably pee and then go to the side and vomit until the sky turned dark.
At this moment, Yaorao also didn't have any thoughts. The rope was embedded into her flesh, and the middle position reached the root of her tongue. Not only was it painful, it was also very very uncomfortable. Her mouth made 'wu wu wu' sounds, but she didn't dare to move.
Yaorao's hatred overflowed to the heavens. In her opinion, Li Hongyuan really wasn't a man. Could a man be like him? At the same time, she was also a bit regretful. If she had known it would be like this, why would she have done so many things. Unfortunately …
Gong Jiu came in from the outside. He could hardly hear the sound of footsteps. He slightly leaned forward. "Master, there's a discovery."
"Speak."
Gong Jiu methodically explained the previous matter.
Li Hongyuan stretched out his hand. Gong Jiu put the box in his hand. Li Hongyuan opened it. A fat worm, but it looked like it was dead. It didn't move at all. It was reasonable to say that the incense ash was sprinkled on the worm's body. But now, the worm had turned gray, and it was very uniform. There was no trace of the incense ash on the worm's face. Reasonable to say, the inside of the worm was also quite clean. It was as if the incense ash was completely absorbed into the worm's body.
"So, it's this worm that made people die inexplicably, and after death, it's still like a living person?"
"Replying to Master, this subordinate is just guessing." There were some things that Gong Jiu obviously needed to confirm.
Li Hongyuan raised his head and looked at Gong Jiu. He closed the box and threw it to Gong Jiu. "There's a ready-made one here. Directly cut open her head and take a look. A living person and a dead person should be different. Gong Jiu, after the worm is taken out, it's best to make sure she's alive. "
"This subordinate will try his best."
Everything that Gong Jiu said just now, everyone present had heard it clearly.
Yaorao's eyes suddenly widened. Her eyes were filled with unconcealable fear. Her head was cut open while she was still alive. That scene, just thinking about it made people frightened. Yaorao didn't even care about the pain. She shook her head. When Li Hongyuan ordered, An Wu had already stopped his actions. And the skin on Yaorao's face was peeled off. Following her movements, the skin swayed on her face. That scene, was really … However, it didn't have any effect on them.
"Master, just in case, shouldn't we interrogate her first?" An Er suggested. With some cautiousness.
Facing a master whose mood wasn't right, they were actually tired enough. Not to mention other things, they couldn't even show their cautiousness. If they couldn't, who knows where they would touch his nerve. At that time, they didn't know how they would be unlucky. Although, as long as they didn't do things like betrayal, their little lives wouldn't be in danger. However, if they could live well, they reckoned that no one would be willing to cause trouble for themselves. They weren't masochists.
Li Hongyuan nodded his head indifferently. Then, he leisurely got up and left.
From beginning to end, they didn't quite understand the meaning of him sitting here.
However, he was the master. What he wanted to do was his own business. Others couldn't interfere.
"Gong Jiu, first come with this prince." Outside, Li Hongyuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky. "How much do you know about Gu worms?" Not to mention other things, just the effect of this worm made people have no choice but to be on guard.
Gong Jiu simply said what he knew.
Li Hongyuan turned back and looked at him with particularly calm eyes. It seemed that there was something condensed in the depths of his eyes. "This is all you know?" A very general outline?
Li Hongyuan's gaze fell on his hand. It seemed that he only knew about this thing. How did he know the method to control this thing in his hand? He also knew how to keep it and happened to have a suitable box.
Gong Jiu obviously also understood that there was something wrong. However, he really only knew that. Even if he deliberately dug up his memory, it was still the same. Previously, it seemed that after meeting the little thing in his hand, he naturally knew how to deal with it. Gong Jiu was very sure that he didn't have any memory loss. He could completely connect it, and there was nothing wrong with it. "In reply to master, this subordinate indeed only knows this." Gong Jiu slightly bowed his head and replied.
Don't suspect the people you use. This principle didn't apply to Li Hongyuan. It was said that he didn't trust his subordinates, but he didn't hesitate to instruct many things. However, it was also a joke to say that he trusted his subordinates very much. Under normal circumstances, Gong Jiu's situation would make his master suspicious.
Li Hongyuan didn't express anything at all. He just waved his hand.
Gong Jiu's brows furrowed slightly. Although he was used to Li Hongyuan's style, he still felt a little uneasy. He couldn't tell what he was thinking, but he didn't explain himself. He respectfully replied and left.
Li Hongyuan casually picked up a leaf. There were indeed many things that had changed. At least in his previous life, he had never heard of such a thing. Of course, the possibility that he just didn't discover it was more likely. Otherwise, he would have made preparations for it in this life. However, there was one thing that Li Hongyuan was certain of. This thing sounded mysterious, but it was still not possible to use it silently. There should be a lot of limitations.
Southern Qi had begun sending spies to other countries decades ago. This point definitely wouldn't change because of his rebirth. In his previous life, he believed that in the early stages, no one had thought highly of him. In the end, he had seized the Qi Yuan empire. It was one hundred percent certain that he had interfered with some people's plans. Those people had no reason to let him go so easily.
Whether it was in the palace or on the battlefield, he was different from other Emperors. It was probably that there were fewer people, and even fewer people who could come into contact with his body. Therefore, this insect needed to be in close contact, and it wasn't likely to be silent. There would always be some signs.
In addition, this thing was difficult to raise, which meant that it was rare. As for how rare it was, perhaps it could be verified by looking at Yaorao. If there were a lot of them, these spies should all have them.
Gong Jiu prepared to go take a look at the body of Marquis Changping's second wife. Without the insect, there should be some changes.
However, halfway there, Gong Jiu was stopped. Because of Yaorao's super big mouth, her words leaked out, and many words couldn't be heard clearly. In a situation where there was no other way, she really couldn't bear it.
She was just a spy from another country, so Gong Jiu naturally didn't have the kindness to disinfect or anesthetize her. Rather simply and crudely, he directly sewed up Yaorao's face. When Yaorao cried out in pain, he unceremoniously used a silver needle to shut her up.
Everyone else watched silently, and then looked again at the swaying silver needle. Obviously, he could have used it to stop the pain in another place. Sure enough, Gong Jiu was a blockhead who didn't know how to be tender and protective of the fairer sex. But he forgot that he also didn't know how to be tender and protective of the fairer sex. For example, when Shadow Five made his move, did he hesitate for even a breath?
After it was done, Yaorao seemed to only have one breath left.
The interrogation continued, but Yaorao was not as happy as before. She knew very well that even if she told everything, she wouldn't have a good end.
As a shadow guard, it was basic for him to observe people's expressions. It was difficult for him not to know what Yaorao was thinking.
"If you tell me quickly, can you die quickly? Or do you really want to have your head cut open while you're still alive?"
"I don't have a gu in my body!" Yaorao said rather emotionally.
Clearly, Yaorao at least knew about this thing. Whether she had it or not was hard to say because Yaorao still had the desire to live. It was difficult to say whether the gu was controlled by her or by him.
The interrogation afterwards could be considered to be smooth. Looking at Yaorao, it seemed she was indeed asking for a quick death, as if she could prove that she didn't have any Gu worm in her body. However, who could be sure whether she was deliberately doing this in order to leave them false information?
Yaorao was, in the end, someone who had undergone special training. She might not be able to tell a lie that was seventy percent true and thirty percent false.
However, Li Hongyuan's doubts were resolved in the end.
Marquis Changping's second wife and Ruan Ruizhong's second wife, Wei shi, had clearly entered Qi Yuan many years ago. At that time, Southern Qi still wasn't the current Emperor. According to Wei shi, spies were sent out by those in power, and Yaorao's target of service was an ambitious prince of Southern Qi. These two groups of people should clearly be from different walks of life, yet they were mixed together.
Thus, one side must have betrayed their master.
Was it Marquis Changping's second wife and Wei shi? The possibility was very small. Yaorao did indeed say that she had sought refuge with the Crown Prince of Southern Qi. She had come to Qi Yuan because the Crown Prince of Southern Qi had arranged for her to persuade the prince she was publicly loyal to.
With this point, then what caused Yaorao to betray her master in her previous life, but in this life?
Li Hongyuan twirled the leaves. The juice dyed his fingertips green. He had made many arrangements in Southern Qi. Bit by bit, he had messed up the situation in Southern Qi. Perhaps something had happened here that caused the enchanting rao to betray her master.
Li Hongyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. If Sun Yilin had really betrayed his country, then did he seek refuge with Southern Qi or the former Wei? Other than these two, there was no third choice.
Since Sun Yilin hadn't moved, then he didn't mind luring the snake out of its hole.
