Chapter 954: Chapter 846: It’s a Gu Insect_2

As the mist rose, Xiaosuisui and Ji Youyuan both caught a whiff of a pungent odor.

The two were coughing repeatedly.

They waved the smoke away with their hands, but before them stood a row of soldiers.

These soldiers had entered upon hearing Prince Yu’s call to capture the assassins.

"Who are you? Where is our Prince Yu? What have you done to him?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

A soldier demanded.

Xiaosuisui and Ji Youyuan exchanged a glance, neither spoke, while Xiaosuisui reached out her small hands toward Ji Youyuan for a hug!

Ji Youyuan bent down to pick her up, flicked his sleeve, and pushed the soldiers back a dozen steps, clearing the way.

Ji Youyuan carried Xiaosuisui out of the tent and happened to meet General Hertz of Xiling. Supported by his guards, he stood before Ji Youyuan, frowning, and demanded to know:

"Who are you? How dare you attempt to assassinate the prince of Xiling!"

Ji Youyuan looked at him, laughed softly, and said, "Prince Yu has already become the puppet of the Evil God, instigating war between the two countries to collect resentful spirits and Qi to help the Evil God break the seal. When that happens, the world will be in chaos and lives will be doomed. General Hertz, I’ve heard you are the stabilizing needle of the people of Xiling, a genuinely good official who works for the people. Our sect cannot bear to see you die on this battlefield and end with a tragic fate, so we are advising you to withdraw your troops quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Hertz’s face changed, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Pfft... you..."

"General... medic... medic..."

Hertz’s guards shouted anxiously.

Ji Youyuan, uninterested in further involvement, told Xiaosuisui, "Feifei is going to chase after that Prince Yu!"

Xiaosuisui complied, grabbing Ji Youyuan’s collar, "Feifei!"

Then chased towards Xiling!

"Uncle, soon we’ll catch up to that Prince Yu and I will punch his dog head!"

The little girl was very angry; the white smoke earlier was choking her, it smelled awful!

"Don’t follow too closely, be careful he doesn’t notice. We need to wait for him to find the Evil God Xun Heng. Only by following him can we pin down the location of Xun Heng’s seal, and then we can figure out how to kill Xun Heng!"

Hearing this, Xiaosuisui’s eyes lit up, and she stopped behind a big rock, watching Prince Yu’s figure in full escape.

"Earlier in the tent, Uncle deliberately let Prince Yu go?"

Ji Youyuan gave her an approving look and said with a smile, "If we caught and interrogated him, he might not tell the truth.

So why not let him go unknowingly, so he can give us the answers himself!"

Ji Youyuan’s words were indirect, but Xiaosuisui understood the meaning!

"Oh!"

The little girl nodded, looking like she had learned something.

Ji Youyuan looked on with satisfaction.

"He seems to have stopped running!"

Xiaosuisui frowned, puzzled.

Ji Youyuan held her hand and stepped out from behind the big stone. Suddenly he floated in midair, looking at Prince Yu standing where he was.

"He looks like he’s waiting for someone."

Xiaosuisui closed her eyes, perked up her little ears and said, "Someone is riding a fast horse heading this way!"

Ji Youyuan raised his eyebrows, "How far can your hearing reach?

Even Uncle didn’t hear anyone coming this way, and you did!"

Xiaosuisui giggled, "Uncle, listen carefully again, see if there’s really someone riding towards us?"

Ji Youyuan concentrated and listened, and indeed heard the sound of a fast-approaching horse!

"Right, someone is coming!"

A woman in a red dress on a sweating horse, with red hair, and a curvaceous figure.

"Oh! It’s a woman!"

Ji Youyuan was very surprised, Xiaosuisui blinked and couldn’t help but rub her eyes, puzzled, "This person’s features, she seems to be a blood relative of His Majesty’s foster father!"

Hearing this, Ji Youyuan blinked and blurted out, "Could she be Princess Lianchun?"

As soon as Ji Youyuan said this, Xiaosuisui remembered too, and she blinked, unable to hold back, "His Majesty’s foster father’s sister?"

Ji Youyuan nodded.

"If there’s someone in the royal family with blood ties to His Majesty and who is adrift outside, it can only be Princess Lianchun."

"But why is she with that Prince Yu?"

Xiaosuisui tilted her head, puzzled.

Ji Youyuan focused on the woman, tapped Xiaosuisui’s small head, and said, "Didn’t you open your Celestial Eye? Check her out yourself to see what’s wrong with her?"

Xiaosuisui held her head in pain, grimaced, and said, "Uncle, it hurts when you hit me!"

Ji Youyuan: ...

Xiaosuisui squinted her eyes, didn’t open the Celestial Eye, but with a careful check-up of Princess Lianchun’s condition, she found the problem.

"It’s a Gu Insect!"

Xiaosuisui saw a golden Gu Insect resting inside Princess Lianchun’s body!

"Everyone says that Nanjiang is full of Gu Insects, but the real origin of Gu Insects is Xiling. It is said that a true Gu master in Xiling can control all the Gu Insects in the entire country!"

What Ji Youyuan said astonished Xiaosuisui.

"One person controlling all the Gu Insects in the country?"

What kind of scene would that be?

"Yeah! But later on, for some reason, there were fewer Xiling people raising Gu Insects, while more and more people in Nanjiang started raising them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hem of his clothes was tugged by the little girl.

"What’s wrong?"

Ji Youyuan asked as he looked down at her.

"His Majesty’s foster father’s sister, should we take her back?"
