Chapter 1058 Learning to Use Gu
Yan Dinghai now only regrets accompanying the eldest prince to Da Zhou, and he hates himself even more for not being wary of a little girl with a wild imagination.
The eldest prince wasn't wrong; he must have been out of his mind to have brought along such a stupid and crazy woman. He grabbed Xie Ling'er by the neck and said, "What poison did you give us? Hand over the antidote, or I'll break your neck."
Xie Ling'er had dealt with them for a while and knew how terrifying they were, which made her very scared. But now, capturing Jiang Fenghua was her only chance to avenge her mother. She said, "Lord Yan, kill me. I don't want to live anymore anyway. My mother is dead, and I have no relatives left."
But Lord Yan, you must understand that if I die, you and your men will also die. This poison may not kill immediately, but once it takes effect, none of you will survive. I'm just dying a little sooner than you.
Fear was evident in Yan Dinghai's eyes.
Xie Ling'er continued, "Lord Yan, do you feel uncomfortable in your chest and even breathing is tiring? To tell you the truth, this is a kind of witchcraft that I specially learned. Originally, I intended to use it to deal with Jiang Fenghua, but now I'm testing its poison on you first."
Yan Dinghai slapped her across the face, leaving a five-finger mark. "You little bitch, I'm going to kill you."
"I told you, if you kill me, you will all die too," Xie Ling'er said. "This kind of poison is called the Shared Life and Death Gu. If I die, you won't live either."
“You…” Yan Dinghai was truly afraid. Having traveled the martial world for many years, he had long heard of witchcraft, a very strange and evil art.
Xie Ling'er saw a hint of fear flash in Yan Dinghai's eyes. She was very satisfied with the fear in their eyes, which made her suffering worthwhile. "So even the most powerful people are afraid of death. I'm relieved now."
Yan Dinghai had never taken her seriously, but now he no longer looked down on her; he truly did not want to die.
Yan Dinghai released Xie Ling'er's neck and began to negotiate, "Give us the antidote first, and we'll help you kill the Empress of Great Zhou."
Xie Ling'er sneered, "I'm not that stupid. I won't believe anyone right now unless you bring Jiang Fenghua's body to me. Only then will I believe she's really dead."
Yan Dinghai felt uncomfortable all over. "Your enemy is her. You went and cast a spell on her. What does your feud have to do with me?"
Xie Ling'er took out a bamboo flute about the size of a copper coin and started playing it.
Yan Dinghai suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He was in so much pain that his whole body convulsed. He tried to grab it, but the pain made him curl up on the ground.
He begged for mercy repeatedly, "I'll kill her for you."
Xie Ling'er paused for a moment and said angrily, "I had no other choice but to ask you for help. Once you help me capture Jiang Fenghua, I will make her die."
"She's a shameless whore, a wicked woman. She stole Sister Wan's man and even her empress. Originally, Sister Wan was supposed to be the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don't know what kind of sorcery Jiang Fenghua used to bewitch Fifth Brother and kill Sister Wan. In the end, she sat on the throne of empress."
Xie Ling'er had said these words countless times.
Xiao Shang came here decades later. He knew that Xiao Yu in his previous life had cooperated with him to avenge Jiang Fenghua, but Xiao Yu in this life would not help him because Jiang Fenghua was not dead and had even become empress.
The thing he forgot seemed to be related to Jiang Fenghua.
Xie Ling'er silently followed Xiao Shang. She noticed that Xiao Shang was also very interested in Jiang Fenghua. She didn't understand why so many men were bewitched by Jiang Fenghua, and even her intelligent fifth brother seemed to be possessed.
She was determined to kill Jiang Fenghua.
Xie Yun and Xie Minmin exchanged a glance. Their mother had told them to keep an eye on Xie Ling'er. They felt that Xie Ling'er was the real madwoman. Jiang Fenghua didn't seem like a vixen at all, and the so-called Sister Wan she mentioned was the most scheming person.
At least Jiang Fenghua was the emperor's lawfully wedded wife, while Su Tingwan was merely a concubine. In their Northwest, a concubine was a plaything, not allowed to be presentable in public.
Xie Ling'er is now King Xiao's concubine.
Xie Yun and Xie Minmin did not expect that Xie Ling'er would also know witchcraft. At this moment, they became wary of her, fearing that she might have also poisoned them with witchcraft.
Xie Yun thought to himself: He had heard that people who knew how to use witchcraft would also be poisoned by the poison, so no one was willing to learn that kind of harmful magic.
Now Xie Ling'er is going to use witchcraft to harm Jiang Fenghua.
Xie Yun and Xie Minmin are still unaware that the Yuezhi people have long wanted to invade the Central Plains and seize more cities; the Yuezhi will not remain confined to the northwest forever.
Xie Yun suddenly asked, as if possessed, "There are many people protecting Jiang Fenghua. How do you plan to assassinate her?"
Xie Minmin also looked down on Xie Ling'er. Her tone was arrogant. "It's not like I haven't tried to assassinate before, and I still failed. I should really go back to the Northwest with my mother. It's just suffering to come to this godforsaken place with you."
Xie Ling'er also looked down on Xie Minmin. She always felt that Xie Minmin was not as noble as her because she was a princess, while Xie Minmin, although her cousin, was only the daughter of a prince and a county princess.
Xie Ling'er is now in such a sorry state, and she only feels that Jiang Fenghua is responsible for her suffering, without looking for the reasons within herself at all.
She stared coldly at Xie Minmin, as if trying to bore a hole through her.
Fearing that she might be suddenly poisoned, Xie Minmin retreated behind Xie Yun, saying, "What you do is your business, I don't care."
She pulled Xie Yun aside and said, "Their feud is none of our business. Don't go asking them questions, lest you do more harm than good and overestimate your abilities."
Upon hearing this, Xie Ling'er also wanted to use Gu on Xie Minmin, but Xie Yun stopped her, saying, "I know you know how to use Gu to poison people, but I also know that witchcraft can harm the user. You have already used Gu on Lord Yan and the others. If you use Gu on others, you won't survive either."
Xie Ling'er was stunned. "How did you know?"
Xie Yun said coldly, "So you'd better not touch my sister in the slightest."
After saying that, he pulled Xie Minmin away. He didn't understand why Xiao Shang was still staying in Da Zhou. Shouldn't he be fleeing back to the Northwest as soon as possible?
A secret message arrived from Xie Yun's subordinate: "Young Master, Madam wants you to return to Qiang City with Miss."
After reading the letter, Xie Yun said in a deep voice, "Understood."
He didn't really want to go back. Ever since he came to the Central Plains, he had longed for it. He remembered his father talking about the Central Plains when he was a child, and he still remembered the longing for the Great Zhou Kingdom in his father's eyes.
Father said that they had Xie blood flowing in their veins, and no matter how much trouble he caused, the men of the Xie family could not forget their roots.
Xie Yun was also thinking that if the throne wasn't to be held by his father, he didn't want it to be seized by the people of Beixiao Kingdom.
Xie Yun only handed Xie Minmin over to his mother's people, but he himself did not leave with the people who came to pick them up, and went directly to Jinhua Town.
