"Reward? What reward do you want?" Nan Xiao lay half in his arms, looking up at him lazily.

In fact, even if he didn't come, she was still sure that she would get rid of those Gu people, but since he was so interested, she couldn't refuse him.

Shi Yan thought for a moment, "I haven't decided yet. I'll tell you when I think about it later."

Nan Xiao nodded, then looked down at the guqin in front of him, "Have you learned this when you were a child?"

Shi Yan placed a gentle kiss on the back of her smooth and white neck, and said softly: "When I was young, I had no playmates, so I would read, play chess, and play the piano by myself. I learned this purely to pass the time.

"

After all, he was suffering from poison and heart disease at that time and could not practice martial arts. However, later, his illness was suddenly cured and he was able to practice martial arts.

His illness is indeed a good thing...

Thinking about this, Shi Yan suddenly remembered that Anan had said something about changing his heart last time, which seemed to be related to him.

Shi Yan's heart felt a little heavy.

Nan Xiao's hands were clasped tightly with his, and she also remembered some things from her childhood.

"Ayan, am I your first friend?"

"Yes." Shi Yan looked at her and couldn't help but have a hint of yin and yang in his tone, "But I'm not the only friend of some people."

Nan Xiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes, I have many friends. What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

"There is nothing to be jealous of. You have many friends, but I am the only husband."

Shi Yan spoke proudly, but his hands subconsciously held her tighter. His eyes were dark and deep, making it unclear what he was thinking at the moment.

Nan Xiao smiled and didn't answer. It was a bit cold to stay outside for a long time, so the two of them went back inside together.

She asked Shi Yan to warm her bed, and then quietly walked to the corner.

Nan Xiao gently pulled open the sleeve of his left hand, and a black Gu insect came into view.

And one of her five fingers was missing a little finger, which was obviously eaten by it, leaving only one bone covered with a little pink flesh.

If not discovered in time, her entire arm could be eaten in just one night.

If this happened to an ordinary person, he would have been so frightened that he would have screamed loudly, but Nan Xiao looked calm and did not even blink.

It must have been the man in black robe who put it on her body, but she didn't even notice it.

Nan Xiao just wanted to throw the black voodoo into the furnace and burn it to death, but after realizing that it was not easy to refine this kind of thing, he put it into a small porcelain bottle for later study.

This Gu is called the Man-eating Gu. As the name suggests, it feeds on human flesh and blood, and when it eats people, the saliva it secretes can make people feel no pain.

Therefore, people often realize that they have been bitten by a voodoo bug only when their hands and feet are eaten away.

However, refining this kind of Gu is extremely difficult and time-consuming.

It needs to be fed with the blood of the person who refines the Gu. That person has to contribute one-third of his blood to feed it every day. He must persist every day. If he persists for fifteen years, he may be able to get one or two. It is extremely difficult.

.

From this, Nan Xiao deduced that the man in black robe should be a master of controlling poison and wanted her dead.

The poison that bit the four masters back then might have something to do with him, and he indirectly caused her mother's tragic ending.

The next day.

Xiao Wan announced what happened last night.

The general meaning is that Queen Yushu was afraid that other princes would seize the throne, so she hired killers from Linglong Pavilion to kill the three princes.

Although those three people were not dead, they were no longer qualified to inherit the throne, and her goal had been achieved.

Because Emperor Da Qi took elixirs all day long, she worried that he might really become immortal, and her son would not even be able to sit on the throne by then.

So, he asked people from Linglong Pavilion to help deal with Emperor Qi so that his son could inherit the throne.

But this matter accidentally leaked out, and the Ninth Princess who lived in the palace learned about it, and she turned around and informed her father about it.

The Royal Forest Army started fighting with the people of Linglong Pavilion, and the corpses all over the palace could testify to this.

Yushu was eventually killed by Emperor Da Qi himself.

And before he died, he drafted a decree for the ninth princess to ascend the throne and become the empress. The eunuchs who served him can testify to this.

As soon as this news was announced, the world was in an uproar.

Inside the pavilion.

The two sat across from each other and chatted.

Nan Xiao said calmly: "You are so good at making up stories. If you don't write a storybook, it would be an underachievement."

"History is always written only by the victors." Xiao Wan put down the tea cup and smiled slightly, "Isn't it?"

She has ambitions and ambitions, and is not a purely kind-hearted person. She clearly knows that when an emperor sits on the throne, it is best to be just and honest, otherwise it will bring a lot of problems to her.

Sitting in that position as a woman, she will have to face many storms in the future. She only wants to use her meager strength for the rest of her life to protect this territory and let the people live a stable and peaceful life.

Nan Xiao also smiled and reminded: "Don't forget the agreement between you and me."

Xiao Wan nodded. Naturally, she would never forget the opening of the canal.

In fact, she thought about it carefully last night. If it was successfully completed, it would be a good thing for the country and the people.

Xiao Wan then asked: "After you leave for this trip, we don't know when we will meet each other. The world is dangerous, so you have to take care, especially your ability to manipulate corpses, and try not to expose it."

With this kind of thing, the probability of not being remembered is too small. Besides, she also heard about Nan Xiao's reputation in the world, and there were many people who shouted at her to kill her.

Nan Xiao nodded, she understood what Xiao Wan said, and she also understood the reason why holding a jade was a crime.

If it weren't for special circumstances, she wouldn't be able to control Gu people, especially since she also discovered that someone could also control Gu people, and the level was probably higher than hers.

Nan Xiao looked down at her hand. After one night, her little finger had recovered.

However, there was a black line on the veins of her arm, which looked a bit like poison. This was the first time she had seen this thing, so she didn't know what it was yet.

However, any poison could be swallowed up by the healing poison in her body, so Nan Xiao didn't take it to heart.

"Anan, I've almost finished the corn, come back and eat it quickly!" Shi Yan poked his little head out of the car window. He had been staring at it for a long time. When he saw the two of them finished talking, he used corn to urge her back.

Nan Xiao waved goodbye to Xiao Wan, walked forward quickly, got into the carriage, successfully grabbed the corn from Shi Yan, and sat in his arms to eat it.

The corners of Shi Yan's successful mouth raised slightly.

The convoy also slowly left here. The man riding on the tall horse in front was none other than Taoist Master Xuanling from before.

His white hair had long since returned to normal, and his face was no longer the fairy-like face before, it was just the human skin mask he was wearing.

Qin Chuan's face now looks resolute and heroic, but there is a touch of sadness in his eyes.
