Xie Yao came over, searched for the body of the Gu Refiner, found a small box, opened it and took a look, her eyes brightened slightly.
Found it!
Inside the box is a small bug, a Gu worm.
Wu Peiya came over and took a look. She felt a little nauseous subconsciously and quickly suppressed it, "What is this?"
"This is a kind of worm that can control people's minds." Xie Yao didn't explain too much. He took the worm back to the leaker and asked Wu Peiya to help open the leaker's mouth and directly poured the worm in.
"Ugh!" Wu Peiya felt a little uncomfortable when she saw this scene and immediately turned her head.
Isn't that person already dead? Why does the princess still want to pour the poisonous insects into it?
At this time, Wu Feng also arrived. Seeing two corpses here, he immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Princess..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw the dead body of the leaker, and his brows instantly furrowed.
Xie Yao stared closely at the face of the leaker. Knowing that Wu Feng was coming, she directly ordered: "Take the people back to join them first. Peiya and I will stay here."
"Yes!" Wu Feng knew that the princess did not want anyone to be present, so he immediately stood up and greeted the people around him: "It's okay here. Everyone, please come with me and meet Major General Xie."
With that said, he led everyone down the mountain.
Xie Yao kept looking at the leaker's pale, bloodless face for a moment.
Her last hope is to use the poison to control the leaker and make the leaker speak the truth!
Under normal circumstances, the Gu insect takes effect from twelve to twenty-four hours, but now that the leaker is dead and there is still life in the body, but there is no obstruction to the Gu insect, it may take effect earlier.
It's late at night, people are quiet, and the wind on the top of the mountain is especially strong.
No matter how the cold wind blew, Xie Yao remained motionless, like a statue.
Time passes bit by bit.
Wu Peiya watched from the side, knowing that the princess was doing something very important, so she did not interrupt her from beginning to end.
I don’t know how long it took, but the leaker finally responded!
"Gulu!"
A voice sounded from the belly of the leaker, which was especially obvious in the silent night.
Wu Peiya was shocked. Is the person alive again?
Xie Yao looked at the leaker's face carefully, and slapped him loudly with both hands.
"Crack!"
The crisp sound carried far away at night and even echoed.
The leaker showed no reaction.
Xie Yao's eyes didn't move and she slapped her again.
The leaker still hasn't moved.
"Bah!" The third sound sounded, and Xie Yao's eyes darkened slightly.
If even the Gu insects are useless, the clues may be lost!
At this moment, another voice sounded.
"Gulu!"
This sound was obviously much louder and clearer than the previous one.
Immediately afterwards, the leaker made some movement. He got up from the ground and stood upright, like a zombie.
Xie Yao's eyes lit up, it's done!
High-fives are a way to awaken Gu insects to control people's minds. If it still has no effect after three palms, it means it has failed.
"Who asked you to leak the military plane that General Xie Lian led the troops to attack?" Xie Yaoding asked immediately without wasting any time.
Wu Peiya was shocked when she heard it!
Although she believed that General Xie was unjustly accused of treason, she never expected that someone would deliberately leak General Xie's military plane!
She has never been on the battlefield, but following Xie Wenwu these days, she knows the importance of military aircraft! They are life-related things!
The Gu worm didn't seem to have completely controlled the leaker's brain. He just opened his mouth, but made no sound.
Xie Yao's eyes condensed. She didn't know how long the Gu worm could last, but she knew that the vitality in the leaker's body was rapidly passing away.
The normal time for brain death is only about five minutes, but now more than four minutes have passed since the leaker died.
She has no time!
With a flick of her wrist, she immediately injected the leaker with a shot of adrenaline!
Soon, the leaker was stimulated and seemed to be very energetic.
"Who asked you to leak the military plane that General Xie Lian led the troops to attack?" Upon seeing this, Xie Yao immediately asked again, and put her ears closer.
"On the room..."
A weak voice came from the leaker's throat, but it quickly dissipated.
With a pop, a cold light cut off the leaker's neck, and his head rolled to the ground with a grunt, rolling far away. The headless corpse fell to the ground at the same time, making no sound anymore.
The leaker is dead, and he cannot die any more!
Xie Yao's attention was all on the leaker and he didn't notice anyone around him.
When she sensed something was wrong, she immediately pulled back and saw clearly the two people standing in front of her, a master and a servant.
"Feng Qing, I want you to save someone!" Chu Ye casually glanced at Wu Peiya, whose face was wrapped, and then turned to Xie Yao, "Miss Yan, I didn't scare you."
In front of outsiders, he would still cooperate and call her Miss Yan.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Chen, I'm not that fragile yet." Xie Yao saw Chu Ye appear, her eyes darkened for a moment, then she took out her handkerchief and wiped the splattered blood on her face unhurriedly.
Why did Chu Ye come here? And it was still late at night!
"As long as nothing happens." Chu Ye smiled warmly, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and asked, "Who is he? Miss Yan is already pregnant, and it is probably very inappropriate for her to leave the city late at night and come to this barren mountain."
"Enemy." Xie Yao's answer was simple, without any cover-up. "This is my own matter, so I won't bother King Chen to ask about it. The night is already deep. If King Chen is fine, I will leave first."
With that said, he was about to take Wu Peiya away.
Although Wu Peiya still covers her face, there is still a risk of being recognized.
What's more, Xie Wenwu is still at the foot of the mountain, and Chu Ye cannot let him discover Xie Wenwu.
"The city gate has been closed at this time. Where do you plan to go, Miss Yan? After all, you are pregnant with the royal heir, so you can't be careless. Since you happened to be met by this king, you naturally can't just sit idly by and ignore it." Chu Ye said with concern and looked at him.
He stood aside and ordered.
"Feng Qing, go prepare a carriage and take Miss Yan to the nearest town to find an inn to stay first. Wait until tomorrow and then take Miss Yan back to Beijing."
"Yes!" Feng Qing responded immediately.
Xie Yao paused, turned around and looked at Chu Ye calmly, "Thank you King Chen for your kindness. Although the city gate has been closed, it is not impossible to return to the city. If His Highness King Chen also wants to return to the city, I can help."
It is a good thing to temporarily put Chu Ye in your sight. At least you can know his movements and know whether you will bump into Xie Wenwu.
As for staying the night at the inn, she had no plans yet.
"Okay, then there's Miss Lao Yan." Chu Ye responded quickly, with a warm luster in his eyes.
It is a very good thing to be able to return to Beijing with Xie Yao.
"By the way, where is Wu Feng? Didn't he go out of the city with you?" Chu Ye suddenly asked.
