Even if they were knocked away, the guards would still rush up and fight Zhao Zhao. Zhao Zhao simply tied everyone up with magic vines.

"Tell me, what are the barbarians looking for?" She looked at the caravan leader again and asked.

"Boss... boss, no... don't!" A guard whose neck was strangled by a magic vine said with difficulty.

Unfortunately to no avail.

I saw the caravan leader walking blankly to an old horse pulling a cart, taking out a long knife and stabbing it hard on the horse's belly. After slicing the horse's belly open, he took out a bloody object from it. object.

The thing was wrapped in layers of oil paper, and when opened it was a dark sandalwood box.

The leader of the caravan slowly opened the wooden box and saw a palm-sized aqua blue stone lying inside. The moment the box was opened, a cool breath hit his face.

Seeing this stone, Zhao Zhao frowned and felt disgusted for no reason.

Magic stone!
"It's the magic-suppressing stone!" the leader of the caravan said to Zhao Zhao with a dull expression.

The magic-suppressing stone can suppress demonic energy. People who practice magic do not like this kind of thing. Why would a small caravan bring a magic-suppressing stone to the border?

Besides, magic-suppressing stones are rare, so why would an ordinary caravan possess them?
So Zhao Zhao asked her doubts, and the leader of the caravan answered all her questions.

It turns out that this is not an ordinary caravan at all, but a royal master sent by the Zhou royal family to escort the magic stone to the army.

As for the purpose of sending the magic stone to the border, these guards did not know. They just followed orders.

After listening to the caravan leader's story, Zhao Zhao fell into deep thought. How did the barbarians get the news about the secret team sent by the royal family?
When the caravan leader regained consciousness, Zhao Zhao had disappeared, and the guards quickly surrounded him.

"Boss, are you okay?"

The leader of the caravan still didn't know what happened. He had no memory of being controlled by Zhao Zhao. Looking at the magic-suppressing stone in his hand, he was shocked: How did I take it out?
After the other guards explained what happened to him, he quickly put the magic-suppressing stone away again, and then led the team in a panic and continued to rush towards the border.

Two days later, Zhao Zhao stood in front of the gate of a city and saw the three characters "Black Stone City" carved on the top of the gate.

This Black Stone City is the first city in Mianzhou bordering the wilderness, and it is also the first line of the Zhou border troops stationed in the wilderness.

After crossing the moat, Zhao Zhao came to the city gate. She was about to go in, but was stopped by the sergeant guarding the city. "Stop, who are you and why are you entering the city?" the sergeant asked.

As the front line of the war, Blackstone City is not prosperous. At this time, Zhao Zhao is the only one who enters and leaves the city, so it is inevitable that she will be questioned.

Besides, Black Rock City is not a place where people can come and go at will.

"I'm looking for someone!" Zhao Zhao said concisely and concisely.

"Who are you looking for? Come here and get checked first!" one of the sergeants said gruffly.

He held a compass in his hand, which was a unique tool in the Zhou army and could be used to detect the identities of demons and barbarians.

The inspection method is also very simple. The person being inspected only needs to drop a drop of blood on the center of the compass. If it is a barbarian, the compass will glow green. If it is a demonic person who has practiced magic skills, the compass will glow black.

Of course, this kind of prop can only detect low-level practitioners, and high-level practitioners can easily get away with it through special means.

Zhao Zhao walked up to the sergeant obediently and looked like she was going to accept the sergeant's examination honestly. However, this was not the case. A slight red light flashed in her eyes. The moment the sergeant looked at her, his consciousness was immediately taken away.

"Is it okay?" Zhao Zhao asked.

"Okay, no problem." The sergeant said blankly.

In this way, Zhaozhao entered the city in a big way.

In fact, Zhao Zhao has the token given by Chang Yue. As long as she shows the token, she can easily enter the city without undergoing inspection.

But Zhao Zhao has a perverse temperament and is not someone who likes to do things according to normal rules.

Not long after Zhaozhao entered the city, the people from the caravan also arrived at Black Rock City covered with travel.

After entering the city, Zhao Zhao looked around at the scene in the city. It was different from other cities. There were no vendors hawking along the streets, and there were no restaurants and shops with lively singing and dancing. There were just teams of patrolling guards with tough temperaments.

The atmosphere in the city was very tense. Everyone Zhao Zhao saw was in a hurry. He didn't know whether the atmosphere in the city was like this or whether the situation had been tense recently.

She did not wander around the city, but based on the address given by Zhou Jinchun, she found the door of a large mansion. The plaque on the door of the mansion read "General's Mansion".

Seeing Zhaozhao stop and watch, the guard in front of the General's Mansion immediately scolded: "The rest of the people are waiting to leave quickly, don't stay here."

Zhao Zhao glanced at him, and the man was immediately frightened and froze on the spot.

"Send a message to your princess that her uncle is here!"

Hearing this, the guard rolled and crawled into the general's mansion. Not long after, he saw a group of people walking out of the general's mansion in a hurry. The leader was Zhou Jinchun, the ninth princess of Zhou Dynasty.

Compared with before, Zhou Jinchun has become a lot darker, but his face is more determined and his temperament is more calm.

When Zhou Jinchun heard the announcement that her uncle was here, she came out happily to meet him, but when she saw the man standing in front of the door, she was confused and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhao Zhao walked towards the general's house and said, "Luo Qingyi has something to do and she can't come. I'll go for her. You can just call me uncle!" As she said that, she threw in a token that could prove her identity. into Zhou Jinchun's arms.

"Yes, Uncle Master!" After confirming that the token was genuine, Zhou Jinchun quickly followed.

"Uncle Master, do you want to rest? How about Chun'er arrange a place for you to rest?" Zhou Jinchun asked.

Zhao Zhao glanced at Zhou Jinchun and saw that her face was a little pale. He suddenly stopped and asked, "Are you injured?"

Zhou Jinchun was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "I suffered some minor injuries, it's okay!"

Zhaozhao grabbed her wrist, checked her pulse and said, "You hurt your heart pulse, and you say it's a minor injury? Now you can't even move your Qi, can you?"

The moment Zhaozhao Zhenqi entered Zhou Jinchun's body, Zhou Jinchun discovered that this uncle practiced the same martial art as himself, and he suddenly felt closer to her.

Zhao Zhao: "Arrange a quiet room!"

"Yes!" Zhou Jinchun responded respectfully.

After the quiet room was arranged, Zhao Zhao took Zhou Jinchun in to heal his injuries. When the two came out of the quiet room again, Zhou Jinchun's complexion had improved a lot.

"Don't practice for a short period of time, don't use your true energy, and cultivate for a while." Zhao Zhao told Zhou Jinchun.

"Yes, thank you so much, uncle!" Zhou Jinchun thanked Zhaozhao gratefully.

Zhao Zhao waved his hand and said: "Didn't you say that the situation of the eldest princess is very bad? Take me to have a look!"

Zhou Jinchun hesitated and said: "Uncle, why don't you go and rest first? The situation of the eldest emperor sister is not a day or two, so there is no rush for this moment."

"Take me to take a look. It's just a quick trip, so I won't be tired." Zhao Zhao snorted.

"Yes, then uncle, come with me!"

Under the leadership of Zhou Jinchun, Zhao Zhao came to the courtyard where Zhou Jinxu lived. He opened the door and walked in. The strong smell of medicine hit his face. Zhao Zhao saw Zhou Jinxu lying on the bed at a glance. The situation is indeed not good.

She looked around the room and then said: "Open all the windows."

The maid in the room hesitated when she heard this and turned her attention to Zhou Jinchun who was standing behind Zhao Zhao.

Zhou Jinchun frowned when he saw this and said, "Look at what I have done, and I still don't do what my uncle said!"

"Yes, princess!"

Upon hearing this, the maids quickly opened all the windows.

After opening the window, Zhao Zhao waved his sleeves, and air currents swept through the room, and the unpleasant smell in the room suddenly disappeared.

After doing this, she walked to Zhou Jinxu's bed and saw Zhou Jinxu lying unconscious on it.

If Zhou Jinchun hadn't said that the person in front of him was Zhou Jinxu, Zhaozhao would have been unable to connect her with the bright and sassy beauty back then.

Chang Yue had met Zhou Jinxu, and Zhao Zhao, who had all of Chang Yue's memories, naturally knew what Zhou Jinxu looked like in the past, not the old woman who was as skinny as a stick in front of her, and even her hair had fallen off.

Zhao Zhao felt Zhou Jinxu's pulse, and then used his true energy to check her whole body. Then he turned to Zhou Jinchun in surprise and asked, "Is your eldest sister practicing magic skills?"

Zhou Jinchun shook his head, "How is that possible! The eldest sister practices the "Wandering Dragon Divine Powers Mysterious Mirror" passed down from the ancestors of the Zhou family. It is not a magic skill."

"Then why..." Zhao Zhao frowned.

All functions of Zhou Jinxu's body were aging, but apart from his Dantian being filled with demonic energy, Zhao Zhao found no other abnormalities.

Zhou Jinchun understood why his uncle was confused by this, so he explained: "Not long ago, a sudden change occurred in the eldest sister, and the true energy in her body quickly transformed into demonic energy. The military doctor and I tried our best to suppress it, but now the eldest sister sees It's no different from a demon cultivator, and we don't know the reason.

There are several generals in the army who are in a similar situation to the eldest sister. I am worried that they will become like the eldest sister in the future. "

After hearing this, Zhao Zhao fell into deep thought.

Suddenly the butterfly wings in her hair trembled slightly, and then a blood-colored butterfly flew out, which was the Black God Gu.

The Black God Gu flapped its wings and flew directly above Zhou Jinxu, spinning back and forth on the head of her bed, as if giving a warning.

"Uncle Master, this is..." Zhou Jinchun looked at Wu Shen Gu and asked doubtfully.

Zhao Zhao did not answer Zhou Jinchun, but looked at Zhou Jinxu deep in thought. The Black God Gu is the king of Gu and can cause it to react...

After flying for a while, the Black God Gu slowly landed on Zhou Jinxu's heart.

Zhao Zhao seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly she stretched out her two fingers and tapped Zhou Jinxu twice quickly, then took out another pill and stuffed it into Zhou Jinxu's mouth.

Finally, under the horrified eyes of everyone, Zhao Zhao tapped the magic lamp handle, controlled the magic vine to break open Zhou Jinxu's chest, and took out her heart.

"Ahhhh!!!"

When Zhao Zhao held the bloody heart in his hand, the maid next to him screamed in horror. Zhao Zhao was distracted and shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

The maid's screams suddenly stopped, and then she rolled her eyes and fainted to the ground.

Zhou Jinchun frowned and said to the other two maids: "Drag them down!"

The two maids immediately carried the unconscious maid out in a panic.

At this time, the Black God Gu flew over the heart as fast as an afterimage, and its slender mouthparts shot out quickly and inserted directly into a blood vessel in the heart.

The next second, a bloody insect as big as a fingernail was pulled out by the Black God Gu.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!!!" The insect made a sharp cry, and Zhou Jinchun subconsciously covered her ears.

After being exposed, the insect still wanted to escape, but how could it escape from the palm of a Gu King? The next second it was pierced by the mouthparts of the Black God Gu. After falling to the ground, it struggled twice and then stopped moving.

Zhou Jinchun looked at the bloody insect corpse on the ground in horror and asked, "Uncle, what is this?"

"Gu worm!" Zhaozhao said one word at a time, and it was a worm she had never heard of. No wonder the military doctor couldn't get the results no matter what.

"Is the abnormality of the eldest emperor sister all due to this little Gu insect?" Zhou Jinchun asked in surprise.

"That should be the case, but the strength of a Gu insect is not determined by its size!" Zhao Zhao said.

After saying that, she walked back to the bed, took off Zhou Jinxu's clothes, then took out the props one by one, and put her heart back in again.

The reason why she had to take out Zhou Jinxu's heart at lightning speed and then remove the worms was because she was worried that the worms would escape from the heart and enter other parts of Zhou Jinxu's body, which would alert the snake and make it difficult to catch it. , and will also put Zhou Jinxu in danger.

This Gu seems to have special cover-up methods. It is difficult to detect its existence through ordinary methods. If it weren't for the King of Gu, the Black God Gu, it would be difficult for even Zhao Zhao to detect it.

After suturing Zhou Jinxu's wound and giving him medicine that would help the injury recover, Zhao Zhao turned around and picked up the corpse of the Gu insect on the ground. She had to study it carefully. She didn't know whether the demonic energy in Zhou Jinxu's body was related to it. There are relationships.

"Uncle, is my eldest sister okay?" Zhou Jinchun asked.

Zhao Zhao shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, the source of the demonic energy in her body is not clear yet, let me study it further!"

Zhou Jinchun said apologetically: "I have caused trouble to my uncle."

Zhao Zhao shook her head. In fact, she didn't find it troublesome. On the contrary, she was very interested in the changes in the Gu insect and Zhou Jinxu.

Who on earth has such means? She really wants to meet that person!

Just then, a soldier ran in in a panic.

"Princess, it's not good, it's not good!"

Zhou Jinchun saw this and scolded: "What's the decency of yelling?"

The soldier quickly shut up.

"What happened?" Zhou Jinchun asked.

"Princess, something happened to the little general and the others!" the soldier replied anxiously, "They have the same devilish aura as the eldest princess!"

Zhou Jinchun's expression suddenly changed when she heard this, "I'll go take a look!" She then looked at Zhao Zhao, "Uncle Master, I'll come as soon as I can."

Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you." Isn't this a good opportunity to observe cases?

Zhou Jinchun said gratefully: "Thank you, uncle!"

Zhao Zhao was then taken to the army camp by Zhou Jinchun.
