famous eldest daughter

Chapter 916 Viper
Glancing at her red and swollen eyes that could hardly be opened in the bronze mirror, Gu Yuqing nodded, "Let her in."

After saying that, Caiping turned around to send a message. Gu Yuqing helped Jixiang stand up and sat down on the pear wood double-armchair under the large window on one side.

After crying for a while, my voice became hoarse. Although I calmed down my emotions at the moment, my chest still felt tight and painful, as if something had run over me.

He picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip when he heard footsteps approaching and Zhiqiu opened the curtain and came in.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Yuqing looked towards the door.

She was dressed in a pea green brocade dress, although the color and style were outdated, but she looked extraordinarily bright and charming when she wore it.

She was completely different from the country girl in Wuqing Village back then, and Gu Yuqing couldn't help but her eyes lit up.

Seeing Gu Yuqing's red and swollen eyes, Zhiqiu's heart suddenly trembled. After saluting and saying hello, he finally said with a slight frown, "Miss, this morning, I met a Miao people at the head of Liuli Bridge. "

Miaojiang people...after Miao Da Miao Er, this was the first time that the term appeared in Gu Yuqing's ears, and she couldn't help but feel excited.

"Do you know the Miao people?" There is no special difference between the appearance of the Miao people and the people of our dynasty.

Zhiqiu shook his head, "Back in Wuqing Village, when I went up the mountain to deliver wild vegetables to the abbot of Qingquan Temple, I once rescued a Miao prince..."

The prince of Miao Jiang... Gu Yuqing's eyelids suddenly twitched and her heart shrank.

The Miao shaman tribe was wiped out by the emperor a few years ago, and now the only one who survives is the Eighth Prince...

"Eight Kings of Miao Territory?"

Zhiqiu shook his head, "I don't know what kind of prince he is, I only know that he is a prince."

"He told you?"

Zhiqiu shook his head again, recalling the scene when he rescued the prince that day, and couldn't help but turn pale.

"That day when I went up the mountain, I happened to encounter him and his subordinates being surrounded by venomous snakes on the mountain. I don't know what they did, but hundreds of flaming red fire-line venomous snakes were attacking them desperately like crazy. He and his His subordinates are all good at kung fu, but when I met them, they were already gradually unable to resist. His left arm was bitten several times by snakes, and the venom took effect, causing him to become numb and lose consciousness."

Following Zhiqiu's words, Ji Xiang and Gu Yuqing all had numb scalps and cold backs.

Hundreds of…venomous snakes in the line of fire…suicide attack…

"Because there are always various venomous snakes on the mountain, the abbot of Qingquan Temple on the mountain distributes medicinal powder to avoid these venomous snakes to people in our village every few days. Whenever we go up the mountain, we have to sprinkle medicinal powder on our bodies. It happened to be that day. I went to the mountain to deliver wild vegetables, and the abbot gave me a bag. When I saw the situation, I sprinkled some medicinal powder on it."

"The medicinal powder is very effective. Those poisonous snakes looked like they were crazy a moment ago. They shook their heads and swung their tails, straightened their bodies and jumped up to attack. As soon as the medicinal powder came out, they fell to the ground with a slap and fled in all directions."

"It was at that time that I heard the person next to him calling himself a subordinate and calling him prince. The poisonous snake ran away, and he fell unconscious after him. Before his subordinate took him away, in order to thank me, he gave me a jade pendant. "

"I didn't want it, but he was anxious, so he dropped the jade pendant, said a few words of thanks hastily, carried the prince and hurriedly went down the mountain."

"The abbot of Qingquan Temple on the mountain is well-informed. Once I showed him the jade pendant. He saw it and said it was from Miao territory, and asked me how I got it. He also said, if we meet again When you see that prince, you must tell him. This morning, when we met at the head of Liuli Bridge, I confirmed that it was that prince, so I asked my brother to go to Qingquan Temple to tell the abbot that I am here for the young lady."

After a detailed explanation, Zhiqiu let out a sigh of relief after finishing his words.

Gu Yuqing was shocked by her words.

The witches of Miaojiang have always been good at making and using poison. Back then, they controlled all parts of Miaojiang by means of the technique of poisonous Gu. However, they were suppressed by their father and the emperor's army, and after the witches were completely destroyed, there were no more witches in Miaojiang. People who make waves.

This Eighth Prince...

He ran into the mountain forest at the foot of the imperial city, and what did he do that caused the mountains full of poisonous snakes to launch a mad attack on him... Why was the abbot of Qingquan Temple interested in him again? Was it just because he had a fight with the poisonous snakes?
Gu Yuqing secretly shook his head.

Abbot Taihong of Qingquan Temple was originally an elder of the Xiaosu Sect. He was well-informed, he was good at poisoning, and he was even better at detoxifying. The last time Ruyi was poisoned, if the abbot of Qingquan Temple hadn't given the medicine, I am afraid that Ruyi would have died long ago.

There is probably only one reason why Abbot Taihong is attracted to it, and that is poison production and detoxification!

A surviving prince of the Miao witch clan, a former elder of the Xiaosu sect...

Did the Eight Kings of Miao Territory make the snakes angry back then because they wanted to get some deadly toxin from the poisonous snakes on the line of fire?Even Abbot Taihong is interested in this toxin...

As her thoughts deepened, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but frown.

The Miao clan, from the time when the Wu clan was not exterminated to the present, has never had anything good to do with anything related to them. Especially since the clan was exterminated, everything related to the Miao clan has been centered around the restoration of the country and revenge.

... Now that the New Year is approaching, why did the Eight Kings of Miaojiang enter Beijing suddenly?

As a prince who was lucky enough to survive, shouldn't he tuck his tail between his legs and hide himself?Even if he wanted to revive the country, according to the timeline of his previous life, he only began to show his prominence six years later.

And now... could it be said that he is fully prepared for this life?
In addition... the magnificent broken sword in her house and the red sandalwood box containing such things...

As his thoughts deepened layer by layer, a rudimentary context gradually emerged in Gu Yuqing's mind. Even though everything was based on guesses based on the past and present life and Zhi Qiu's words, guesses... were always not far from the truth.

The sudden appearance of the eight kings of Miaojiang dilutes the grief in Gu Yuqing's heart... At least, put it away temporarily, "When you met him back then, how old were you? Don't you be afraid?"

Just listening to Zhiqiu's description, she felt her teeth tremble, let alone witnessing the crazy attack scene of hundreds of poisonous snakes...

Zhiqiu's shoulders shrank slightly, "I was eight years old at that time. I was so scared that my hands and feet were so weak that I couldn't move. And..." I even wet my pants. Naturally, Zhiqiu couldn't say this, "But no matter how scared I am, , I have life-saving medicine in my arms, I can’t just watch the two of them being killed by snakes!”

eight years old...

Not only was it auspicious, but even Gu Yuqing had a look of admiration in her eyes when she saw Zhiqiu.

"Did you bring that jade pendant?"

Zhiqiu nodded immediately, took out a red silk handkerchief from his sleeve, unfolded the silk handkerchief, put it on, and held up the milky white jade pendant, "Miss, this is it. He gave it to me that day, and I never wore it once." . We country folk will lose our lives if we wear such expensive things."

Gu Yuqing nodded, took the jade pendant, and said, "Has anyone seen this jade pendant?"

"Except for Abbot Taihong, I have never seen anyone. Even my brother and mother, I have never shown them. My mother..." Zhiqiu paused and did not continue, his cheeks slightly red.

She didn't say it, but Gu Yuqing knew what she meant.

He didn't ask any questions, just looked down at the jade pendant.
