Power ministers always make things difficult for me

After listening to Rong Qin's words, Rong Li also noticed Xing Luo. She ran over and pinched the little knot on top of Xing Luo's head and shook it gently: "What a cute little baby, what's your name?"

But Xing Luo was startled by her sudden approach. He waved his little hand fiercely and knocked off Rong Li's claws mercilessly.

He also widened his eyes and bared his teeth fiercely at her.

"Hey!"

Rong Li exclaimed, not expecting that the harmless little guy in front of him would suddenly take action, and quickly took a step back, but even though her martial arts skills should not be underestimated, she was caught off guard at this time.

Xingluo's claws were sharp and his movements were aggressive. Looking at the back of Rong Li's hand, he saw a bright red claw mark on it.

"Xingluo!" Pei Qi quickly grabbed her, and in order to prevent her from making any more harmful moves, he simply covered her behind her and separated from Rongli.

Seeing the blood on the back of Rong Li's hand, Pei Qi said apologetically: "I'm sorry..."

"Xingluo is a wolf child who was abandoned in the deep valley. She doesn't know how to get close to people. I rescued her from an Orion when I was passing by the deep valley. I've been getting along quite well with her. I really didn't expect that she would hurt you."

"That's it." Rong Li nodded understandingly and carried his injured paw behind his back without caring: "It doesn't matter, but... why did you come to Chaozhou?"

"I'm just passing through here to have a rest." Pei Qi ordered Xingluo to be sent back to his room. He had no intention of telling anyone about his trip to Jinjiang. He asked calmly: "What about you? Are you going there? where?"

"Let's go help Master save..."

"Let's go to Jinjiang." Rong Qin suddenly interrupted Rong Li's words and directly stated the purpose of the trip. He also guessed by the way: "I think the national master should be on the same road as I am."

Pei Qi frowned secretly.

Tsk.

She really doesn't like to be guessed.

Especially Rong Qin.

Pei Qi pursed his lips and acquiesced: "How do you know?"

"Cui Shaogong sent someone to Jinjiang in advance. He must have come back with useful things in the past few days. Seeing that the imperial preceptor's January suspension is approaching, why don't you stay in the imperial capital and work with Jiang Mingcang while this situation is suspended? I had no chance to get rid of the truth, but it happened to be here by chance. The truth is not a fool, it only takes a little thought to understand."

While answering Pei Qi's words, Rong Qin found a nearby free table and sat down. He picked up two teacups, filled them with water, and pushed one cup forward.

With a frivolous look on his face, he gestured for Pei Qi to sit across from him: "National Master, please."

Pei Qi hesitated for a while, but after thinking about it, he sat down, but the poured water was not touched.

Rong Qin didn't say anything about this. He just drank the glass of water and spoke slowly: "If the Imperial Master didn't have great trust in your student before, why did he run to Jinjiang in a blink of an eye?"

"My trip to Jinjiang has nothing to do with Your Majesty." A flash of displeasure flashed in Pei Qi's eyes, and he subconsciously turned his head away: "If the right minister still wants to sow discord, there is no need to continue the conversation."

With that said, Pei Qi slapped the table and stood up, preparing to go back to the room.

"Wait a minute." Rong Qin stopped her and apologized with a smile: "Is it the prime minister's fault that the Imperial Master is extinguishing fire?"

"I just feel that since Jiang Mingcang has sent Jin Yiwei to watch Duan Qianjun, as long as Duan Qianjun makes the slightest move, the news should be sent back to the imperial capital immediately. I don't need you, the Imperial Master, to make a trip in person."

Although Rong Qin's words were said tactfully, how could Pei Qi not understand the meaning?

Those Jinyi guards might not be used to monitor Duan Qianjun at all, but a cover to reassure Pei Qi.

Unfortunately, she just didn't want to believe it. Seeing that Pei Qi didn't respond, Rong Qin understood her attitude. Naturally, he didn't intend to wake up a person who was pretending to sleep. Instead, he turned around and asked about another matter.

"Forget it, since the Imperial Master doesn't want to mention it, then the Prime Minister will say something else."

"The Imperial Master once fell into the hands of people from the Western Regions, and I heard about the Feiyue Tower Oiran from his mouth. I would also like to ask the Imperial Master to inform the matter in detail. I am very grateful."

Baili Qingming was originally not interested in the conversation between the two of them, it was nothing more than court talk, but as soon as Yusheng Yan was mentioned, he immediately sat up, the alcohol on his face was still there, but he became a little more energetic.

Even Rong Li couldn't help but move forward, his face full of urgency.

It was originally a confrontation with Rong Qin, but suddenly Pei Qi was stared at by three people, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.

If she didn't say anything, these three might not let her go so easily.

"Why are you asking this?" Pei Qi's eyes moved back and forth on the three people's faces, and finally stopped on Rong Qin. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you checking Jin Yiwei and Sanqian Yu? Is it possible? Are the people from the Western Regions also related to Three Thousand Yu Yu?"

"That's not true." Rong Qin shook his head: "To be honest, we went to Jinjiang this time to save people."

"..."

Rong Qin told Pei Qi everything about Yu Shengyan and Baili Qingming without any secrets. As Pei Qi listened, his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

She thought of what Urlan had said about mother Gu. If what Rong Qin said was true, then this matter... would be unimaginable.

Although she had some opinions about Rong Qin, she could now tell which ones were more important, so she told all her guesses.

"I wonder if you have ever heard of... immortal Gu soldiers?"

Rong Qin frowned slightly, and his fingers unconsciously knocked on the table, which seemed particularly abrupt.

"I've heard a little bit about it, but it was about the founding emperor of Dasheng. Now it's so long ago that I don't know what it is exactly." Rong Qin shook his head and motioned for her to continue.

Pei Qi lowered his eyes and tightened his hands on the table.

"If Duan Qianjun's secret is really related to this matter, the person you are looking for may be in trouble."

"After my eyes recovered, in order to find out the intentions of those people from the Western Regions, and I had nothing to do, I read a lot of history books about the Western Regions, among which there were records about the undead Gu soldiers."

"In the early years, the Western Regions were mainly based on tribal separation. Therefore, in order to compete for territory, there were constant wars within the Western Regions."

"Until one day, a high priest appeared in the tribe known as the Ur tribe. He developed a strange voodoo technique that could bring people back to life. Not only that, those people who were 'resurrected' not only had physiques far beyond those of ordinary people, but even Losing the sense of pain, being immortal, and terrifying like a ghost.”

"Later, the Ur tribe relied on this kind of voodoo to unify the Western Region and became the master of the Western Region. People controlled by this kind of voodoo were called immortal voodoo soldiers."

Rong Li felt chills running down his spine, but he couldn't help but ask, "Then why did they tie up my wife?"

If you want to find some Gu soldiers, why send someone all the way to Jinjiang?

"I guess it has something to do with the mother voodoo." Pei Qi paused and tried his best to recall the content in the history books of the Western Regions: "Although this kind of voodoo soldiers are weird and powerful, they also have limitations. If you want to control the voodoo soldiers, there are only two kinds. Method."

"The first is to use the rhythm to control the Gu insects in the body of the Gu soldiers, and then control the Gu soldiers. However, the number of Gu soldiers that this method can control is too small, and it has no effect in places where the rhythm cannot reach."

"The second method is to control the Gu soldiers by controlling the mother Gu. However, the host conditions for the survival of the mother Gu are extremely strict. It needs to be nourished with wormwood flowers for many years, and then soaked with unique herbs from the Western Regions to be suitable for the mother voodoo. grow.”

"I was kidnapped by Urlan before, probably for this reason."
