"What are you doing?" The jailer took the money and asked casually.
At this moment, the High Priest was no longer as bright as the lake in the palace. His brows were stained with dust." Brother, I want to ask you something. When I went out, I heard that there was a flood in the south and was so scared that I didn't dare to come. Today, when I arrived at the center of the south, I found that there was no flood. This flood..."
"Floods," the jailer said while picking his teeth."It's been gone for a long time. Ever since the Left Prime Minister came, he brought us food and medicine for disaster relief and rebuilt the dike.”The jailer sighed.
"Then, when we entered the city today and saw the woman hanging on the city tower…?”
Before the high priest could finish, the jailer spat on the ground and said,""That's a jinx."
Seeing the jailer so angry, the high priest could only take out another piece of silver from his sleeve and hand it to the jailer.""Big brother, why do you say that?"
"That's the daughter of Xia City's City Lord, Xu Jinghua. She was the one who brought the flood here. In order to punish the jinx, the Prime Minister hung her on the city gate tower to get rid of the bad luck.”The jailer said in a low voice.
The High Priestess was even more confused. Just as she was about to ask again, she suddenly saw Chu Wu You shake her head, indicating that someone was coming and that she should stop asking.
"A5, hurry up and change shifts." The man was also dressed as a jailer and held an oil lamp. Although the light from the oil lamp was weak, it added a little warmth to the dark and damp cage.
The guard named A5 waved his hand and told him that he understood. Then, he turned to the high priest and instructed,"Don't tell anyone what I'm telling you today. You'll be punished by the heavens.”
The High Priest nodded and agreed." Don't worry. Only the two of us know about this."”
After hearing this guarantee, the jailer left in satisfaction.
"I seem to understand a little, but I also don't seem to understand. Why is a young girl a jinx?”The High Priest asked Chu Wu You.
"I keep feeling that this is a disguised threat. Don't you think it's strange that Xu Shou didn't do anything when his daughter was hanging on the city gate tower in her bare clothes?”Chu Wu You said faintly, as if they were inextricably linked, but she couldn't connect them.
"As far as I know, Xu Shou followed the late emperor to conquer the world. The late emperor felt his loyalty and made him the city lord of Xia City, managing almost all the affairs in the south.”
"Now it seems that he is no longer loyal. Or rather, he has already surrendered to the Left Prime Minister.”Chu Wu You said coldly, her face as cold as ice. Left Prime Minister, I didn't expect that I would send you to the south and even help you. I really miscalculated you.
……
The raindrops dripped onto Ming Yi's forehead and the corners of his mouth, helping him remove the terrifying heat. He had been recuperating in this cave for an entire day and night, which showed the severity of his injuries. Ming Yi struggled to get up, but he was held back by a pair of slender hands. He lifted his gaze to look at the young girl in a light blue dress in front of him and sneered,""You hurt me and then saved me. Is there any meaning?”
"Yes." The woman replied, her fair and soft hands carrying a dark yellow medicine."Drink the medicine."
Ming Yi looked at her expressionless face and was instantly furious. He knocked over the bowl of medicine and said,""You can leave."
The woman stood up and was about to leave, but before she left, she turned around and said to Ming Yi,""You have the strength to knock over the medicine bowl. It seems that you have almost recovered. I'm leaving.”After she finished speaking, she left without looking back. However, after crossing a valley, she fell to the ground. Bright red blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth. In order to treat Ming Yi's injuries, she had used up most of her energy. Now, she was lacking in both qi and blood, and her physical strength was not enough.
Ming Yi looked at the medicine on the ground and fell into deep thought. Promise, why are you doing this?
The afternoon sun shone into this small cell. At this moment, Chu Wu You was sleeping peacefully. The woman's eyebrows were like the morning sun, her face was like a delicate flower, and her white clothes covered her exquisite body. She was really a beautiful woman. However, her brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a sentimental charm in it. The High Priest was still meditating like a Zen master. Qing Huan stretched his back and hissed a few times, indicating to Chu Wu that someone had come in. Moreover, it had caused quite a commotion.
"I say, General, this general is really poisoned, and it's a strange poison. Why don't you believe me and even put me in jail?”The man was dressed in gray, had a beard, and carried a medicine box on his back. He should be a doctor.
Hearing this person's words, Chu Wu You's lips curled into a faint smile. She was finally going out. She yawned and lazily stood up to walk in front of the jailer.""I can cure the general's illness. Take me there quickly. I won't be responsible if I'm late.”
The jailer glanced at the beautiful girl in front of him. Although her clothes were simple, her temperament was not something that could be raised by any family. Moreover, the general's hot temper was useless even if all the doctors in the city had seen her. There was no harm in seeing another doctor. It was just a matter of handing over the task.
The High Priest saw Chu Wu You follow the jailer out and quickly followed. Chu Wu You gestured to him, indicating that he should continue to gather information.
Although the High Priest was a little worried, he thought of Qing Huan and Chi 'er's power in his body, as well as Chu Wuyou's scheming. That ugly general could not do anything to him. He sighed and let her be.
The general guarding the city was indeed quite sick. That was true, after being poisoned by Chu Wu You's perfume powder, it would be strange if he didn't itch to death. This poison wasn't fatal, but it was extremely itchy, causing one's skin to fester and bleed. The key was that they could not find out the cause. Even if they could not find out, the patient would not believe it. It was just an itch. How could it be poisoning?
When Chu Wuyou saw that the general's face was scratched like a cat, she was even more certain of her medical skills. The general was so ticklish that he rolled on the ground. His clothes were disheveled, and he wailed endlessly. He charged forward, and the soldiers at the side could not stop him.
"I can save your general, but I have a condition.”Chu Wu You's beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, with a peerless elegance. Her words were clear and she dared to make a decision.
The soldiers at the side looked at this beautiful and cold woman and sighed silently. A bold one walked up and said,"What condition?"
"Put down the woman on the city gate tower.”Chu Wu You looked in the direction of the city tower and said.
"No, we can't let her go. That woman is a jinx. If we let her go, we'll be punished by the heavens.”The soldiers flatly refused, and no one agreed with her.
Chu Wu You snorted coldly and said with a smile,""Then just wait to collect your general's corpse.”
Hearing this, the wailing general could no longer care about the lives of others. He shouted,"Hurry up and put that jinx down. Do you want to see me die?”
When the soldiers heard the order, they did not dare to disobey. They could only obediently go to the city gate tower and let the woman down. The woman's face turned pale and her limbs were stiff. Some parts of her skin were swollen and she even had a high fever. Chu Wu You walked over and draped her outer robe over the woman, covering her slightly mottled body. She carefully checked her pulse. As expected, she had been fed medicine.
"I'll take this woman with me, and I'll give you the antidote.”Chu Wu You carried the woman on her back and threw a packet of antidote at the soldiers guarding the city. A cloud of smoke rose and Chu Wu You and the woman disappeared. Only then did the soldiers exclaim in shock. They had been tricked.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810:39AM
