Chapter nine hundred and eighty third quite arrogant
"Old Juebi said that with these two people protecting Duke Ping, it would be impossible for ordinary people to get close enough to assassinate him."
"That person has better kung fu than Old Man Juebi?" Ye Fuxun was surprised.
"Of course not." The King of Chu waved his hand, "But Old Man Juebi said that his skills are on par with his own. Even Old Man Juebi wouldn't dare to say that he can kill Duke Ping under that man."
"How did Old Man Jubi know that our target was Duke Ping?" Ye Fuxun asked in a low voice.
King Chu looked embarrassed.
In fact, it was Old Man Juebi who guessed it.
"He knows everything about us killing Chu Pi," King Chu said. "Old Juebi saw through the disguise of the fourth brother and casually guessed our target."
"Of course the fourth brother firmly denied it. He only said that he came to see the world."
The King of Chu had no choice but to trick the old man with his Jubi, but he did not want to be fooled easily. However, the old man with Jubi had been traveling around the world for decades and could tell the authenticity at a glance.
"Old Juebi told Fourth Brother about the two peerless masters around Duke Ping and then left."
He said that if he could still walk out of Pingguo's mansion alive today, he would look for him to become his disciple next time.
If that doesn't work, then go back and collect his body for him.
Ah bah!
The King of Chu forgot about the old man's words and came to report the news.
"Sir, maybe the person who cast the poison is the one who is good at poison among the two masters." Ye Fuxun pondered for a moment and guessed.
If that's the case, Qing Ling's trick on Zi Gu might be able to deal with that poisonous master.
The two looked at each other and continued walking towards the east.
The confused King of Chu scratched his head: "What do you mean by this?"
"Can Old Man Jubi tell me how to identify those two people?" Ji Yannuo asked thoughtfully.
The King of Chu crossed his arms across his chest: "One is as skinny as a stick, and the other is short and rickety. The old man Jubi said that these two people will never leave within ten feet of Duke Ping, so they should be easy to recognize."
Ji Yannuo and Ye Fuxun both frowned.
If one goes by what King Chu said, it would be really difficult to get close to the person who cast the poison.
But always give it a try.
The three of them followed Ye Fuxun's induction and headed east. In about half a cup of tea, they arrived at a magnificent courtyard - Zhengde Courtyard.
There were guards with swords guarding the outside of the courtyard. Seeing the three people approaching, the guards blocked the door and said, "No one is allowed to enter except the prince and important officials."
Shodeok-in is the courtyard used by Duke Ping to receive birthday congratulations from the prince and important officials.
Because there were so many people who came to celebrate their birthday today, Duke Ping had no intention of meeting everyone.
Only the most important few people can come to Zhengdeyuan to celebrate his birthday in person.
This also shows that Duke Ping maintains his own identity and almost regards himself as the person with the highest status in Qi.
Not to mention the courtiers and officials, even the princes did not dare to protest against this, as if Duke Ping's doing so was a matter of course.
Ji Yannuo said: "The three of us are Prince Kun's staff. We have urgent matters that need to be reported to His Highness. Please be accommodating."
After saying this, he showed the token given by Pei Kun to the guards for inspection.
The guards carefully checked the token and thought for a moment: "It is an important place inside, and only one person can enter it at most."
Ye Fuxun took a step forward: "Ayan, this matter is urgent, so I will go in and report it to Your Highness."
They looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Ye Fuxun followed the guards into Zhengde Courtyard, walked through the garden corridor, and finally came to the main hall.
The atmosphere in the main hall was lively and festive, and waves of important ministers were presenting birthday gifts and congratulatory messages.
She quietly raised her eyes and looked up, and saw in the distance a man with thick eyebrows sitting in the main seat, wearing a purple and gold brocade robe. He was about fifty years old, with an eagle nose and thin lips, and a pair of sharp eyes with shining eyes.
This is Duke Pingguo.
Not far behind Ping Guo Gong, there were indeed two people similar to what King Chu described.
One is skinny and the other is short and rickety.
Although the two of them look strange, they both look quite arrogant.
Ye Fuxun looked away, found Pei Kun's position and walked over.
She reported the situation to Pei Kun in a low voice.
Pei Kun raised his eyebrows slightly and lowered his voice: "How close do you need to be to achieve this?"
"At least within two feet."
"In a moment, you can follow me up to deliver the gifts." Pei Kun moved his lips slightly and quickly made arrangements.
The important ministers have already presented gifts, and soon it will be the turn of the princes.
Ye Fuxun responded and quietly sat down next to Pei Kun and waited.
After drinking some tea, Pei Kun glanced at Ye Fuxun, got up and walked forward.
She picked up the birthday gift tray prepared nearby and followed Pei Kun forward.
The two of them walked to the center of the main hall, and everything fell silent.
As a prince who came out of nowhere, there were not many important officials in the court who recognized Pei Kun.
Not to mention the princes who regarded him as a rival.
Everyone was listening to Pei Kun's congratulatory message.
Pei Kun sang loudly and unhurriedly.
Ye Fuxun held the hand under the tray and gently lifted it, opening the lid of a bamboo tube in his palm.
In an instant, a small green Gu worm landed on the red gold carpet along her hand.
Ye Fuxun's eyes followed Zi Gu, and he saw Zi Gu squirming, but moving very quickly towards the short, rickety body behind Ping Guogong.
The attention of people around him is still on Pei Kun.
It seemed that no one saw the green bug crawling on the red gold carpet.
Is Qing Ling's magic really so wonderful?
Ye Fuxun sighed secretly in his heart.
As a modern person, although she has experienced many incredible things in ancient times, this was the first time she encountered this kind of thing today.
It's so magical.
So how can a green bug really become invisible?
She was really surprised when she saw Zi Gu, who had been invisibly cast by Qing Ling, squirming across the red gold carpet in full view of everyone.
After Pei Kun finished his congratulatory message, the steward stepped forward and took the tray from Ye Fuxun. She had to get up and follow Pei Kun back to her seat.
As soon as she sat down, she calmly looked at the short, rickety man.
At that time, Zigu happened to crawl to the feet of the rickety man, and the man suddenly took out a white porcelain jar from his sleeve as if he was aware of it.
Ye Fuxun's heart tightened.
Could it be that he discovered the existence of Zi Gu?
The white porcelain jar in the hand of the rickety man is clearly a jar used to contain poisonous insects.
She held her breath unconsciously.
They saw the rickety man opening the white porcelain jar, then taking out a dagger and cutting his index finger, and dripped a drop of blood into the white porcelain jar.
Ye Fuxun breathed a sigh of relief.
The rickety man was feeding the mother voodoo with blood, rather than discovering the existence of the child voodoo.
She squinted her eyes and saw clearly that when the man closed the lid of the white porcelain jar, Zi Gu penetrated into the man's index finger that was still dripping with blood at lightning speed.
Done!
This is what Qing Ling told her at that time, as long as the Zi Gu is close to the bewitcher, it will definitely get into the bewitcher's body at the right time.
