Chapter 194 Listening to Chapter Gu
After dinner, the two went out.
Mingjue took out the mother tracking Gu from the medicine bottle and placed it in the palm of his hand.
"As long as the mother Gu senses the child, it will sway its body. The more violently it sways, the closer we are to the assassin."
Yao Jia looked at the female Gu that was the size of her little finger. As soon as it lay in Ming Jue's palm, its body began to tremble violently.
"Hey, why is it moving so violently? Is it broken?"
Mingjue frowned and looked around.
No suspicious persons were found.
"This means that the assassin is nearby."
Ah Jin, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly broke into a cold sweat and began to move his body silently.
Yao Jia also discovered that the mother Gu's body was no longer shaking violently.
"Does this mean that the assassin has started to move?"
Mingjue nodded.
The two relied on the clues of the mother Gu to travel through the streets.
After going around in circles, Yao Jia soon discovered that something was wrong.
"This assassin must have realized that we were looking for him, and he deliberately led us around."
Ming Jue smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't be able to walk soon."
He had put poison in the tracking Gu. The more vigorously the man exercised, the faster the poison would take effect. That was why he let the man play tricks on them.
Suddenly, the mother Gu began to tremble violently again.
"Over there!" Mingjue pointed to a small alley ahead with sharp eyes.
After entering, I found a man curled up and leaning against the corner.
Seeing the two people coming, A Jin looked at them with a pale face.
"If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."
He would never betray his master.
"Hey! So tough?"
Yaojia wanted to go forward but was stopped by Mingjue.
"I have a way to make him talk."
Mingjue squatted down, smiled slightly, and took out an exquisite little bottle from his arms.
"The thing inside is called obedient Gu. After you take it, you can answer any questions you ask. If you don't tell us now who sent you to assassinate my husband and me, and you ask us some big secrets later, don't blame us for not keeping it a secret for you."
Ah Jin's face turned pale, and he was sweating from the pain in his body. He trembled and said, "Don't make fun of me. If there really is such a thing in the world, what is the use of the Dali Temple?"
"Whether you believe it or not, you will know next."
When the vial was opened, a strange pungent smell emanated.
Hold his chin and feed the insect into his mouth.
Ah Jin opened his eyes wide, feeling the poisonous insect crawling in his body. The pain was almost unbearable for him.
Mingjue's words echoed in his ears: "After taking it, answer any questions you ask."
He clenched his teeth and tried to stay awake. However, the pain became more and more intense, as if it was going to tear him apart.
Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Yes... yes... our master asked me to come."
"Who is your master?" Mingjue asked.
“Yes… yes…” A Jin’s face turned even paler and his body began to tremble with pain.
Finally, he shouted out in pain: "It's Chen Ying!"
"Why does Chen Ying want to kill me?" Yao Jia asked.
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid you'll... buy information from Lingyun Palace!"
"What kind of news?"
"I... I don't know..." Ah Jin shook his head painfully, "I'm just a servant. I really don't know anything else."
“If you don’t know these, others should know…” Yao Jia looked at him with a sly smile on her lips.
"Take him back to Chun's house. I have a lot to ask him."
A Jin looked desperate...
The sky gradually darkened, and Yao Jia had asked all the questions she needed to ask.
"The last question is, where is Chen Ying now?"
A Jin's face was as pale as paper, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and his body was like mud, unable to move.
He stared at Yao Jia with wide eyes, his eyes filled with fear and despair.
"South of the city...Zhongyue Temple..." He spoke with difficulty, his voice weak.
Naturally, I know why Yao Jia asked about Chen Ying's location.
I just said everything that should and shouldn't be said, especially the fact that his grandfather was collaborating with the enemy, which he should have died to atone for.
But he couldn't commit suicide now.
"Even if you find him, what can you do? He has the Thousand Blades by his side."
Yao Jia was surprised, "Since there is a top guard like Qian Xu Ren, why did Chen Ying send you to assassinate me?"
It's so disrespectful to her.
"My master didn't intend to kill you at all. He just wanted me to delay you for two days..."
Yao Jia sneered. What difference did it make whether to kill or not? If Ming Jue hadn’t discovered it in time, they would have been buried in the sea of fire.
Although the fire was just an accident.
"Grandpa Chun, please ask you and Chunya to keep an eye on this man. Mingjue and I will go to Zhongyue Temple."
While Mingjue has the obedient Gu in his hand, he might as well feed one to Chen Ying and find out King Ping's next plan.
I never thought that King Ping would be so desperate as to collude with the enemy and start a war.
When the two countries were at war, Daxia did not have many available generals and had to embark on the path of Yihe. Xiao Fengli volunteered to serve as a Yihe minister and used his eloquence to lower the conditions proposed by Liang as much as possible, thus winning the favor of the emperor.
However, despite all his calculations, he did not anticipate that Gu Xiyan would show up unexpectedly and not only disrupt all his plans, but also cause heavy losses to the Liang State.
"My lord, why don't we wait until Hongying arrives before going?" suggested Old Man Chun.
Yao Jia shook her head. Hongying would not arrive until tomorrow, so she couldn’t delay any longer.
Just now, she heard Ah Jin say that Chen Ying wanted to buy information from Lingyun Palace this time. She needed to know how important the information was and why Chen Ying needed to come in person.
Once the news about Lingyun Palace is bought, it will never be sold again. Although she is the master, she cannot violate the rules set by the ancestors.
Since it cannot be sold again, then why not just eavesdrop?
"But my lord, Qian Xu Ren is not easy to deal with." Chun Ya frowned.
Yao Jia smiled, "Of course I knew he was difficult to deal with, so I brought a lot of poison."
A-Jin:……!!!
Old Man Chun: …………
Chunya: …………
As expected of the Lord, he is full of tricks.
Yao Jia looked at the half-dead A Jin on the ground and said, "You should know when Chen Ying and the people from Lingyun Palace agreed to meet."
A Jin: …………
Isn’t it the last question? Why are you asking again?
"Tonight... at midnight."
Mingjue took out a small compass from his arms and compared the time with the moonlight.
"There is still more than an hour."
Seeing that it was still early, Old Man Chun suggested taking advantage of this opportunity to get two sets of night clothes for Yaojia and Mingjue.
Yao Jia nodded in agreement.
Old Man Chen hurried out to do it, but after he went out he did not go anywhere else. Instead, he walked along the mountain road to the place he had agreed to meet with the Shadow of Lingyun Palace.
He took out a piccolo from his arms and played a few notes. Soon, a black shadow flew over and stood in front of him.
"This subordinate has met the Feng Protector."
Feng Yan nodded as a greeting.
"But the master also said that he wants you to take her up the mountain?"
Chunya had already come this morning and told her clearly that the palace master did not want to see the master today.
Old Man Chun said, "I am not here for this matter, but the Lord brought back a subordinate of Chen Ying today. During the interrogation, he learned that Chen Ying was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so he decided to go and capture him personally."
Feng Yan was shocked when he heard this. He decided to inform the Palace Master immediately about this matter.
"I already know, you can go back."
"Yes"
Feng Yan quickly rushed back to Lingyun Palace, wanting to report the matter to Ye Sinan.
But when he got to Ye Sinan, he hesitated again.
The Palace Master was suffering from the poison these past two days. What if he heard the news and went to deal with the matter personally?
