Chapter 221 Is the prince sick?
Ye Jiu said without disguising: "Yes, as you know, I drugged him when he was off guard."
After hearing this, Di Ying couldn't help but sneer: "That's even more incredible. What ability did the Tenth Prince have to escape your poison?"
Ye Jiu shrugged, indicating that he didn't care, and then said: "If it weren't for that living dead, maybe I could have succeeded in killing him."
"Living dead?" Di Ying was not unfamiliar with these three words. He was injured by the living dead in the past. If the Yin family had not helped, the grass on Di Ying's grave would have grown into a towering tree.
"That's right," Ye Jiu chopped the meat, "You also know that I know a thing or two about poisonous insects."
"This living dead is a kind of poisonous insect called human-faced Gu that is raised in the body of a living person."
"This type of Gu usually feeds on the flesh of the host. Once it grows up, it will live in the human body. After only seven days, the host will die, and the human-faced Gu will control the corpse."
Ye Jiu said as he raised the kitchen knife and gestured, "When the time comes, the host will become a living dead. Moreover, this living dead is invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, and is highly poisonous. Ordinary people really can't deal with it."
Di Ying frowned as he listened, "How did you know about such a vicious poisonous insect?"
Ye Jiu stopped what he was doing, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes, "I also found out by chance."
In fact, this human-faced Gu was developed by Ye Jiu according to his master's notes.
At that time, he was just bored and wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that he would actually succeed in the end.
But the master was well aware of the harm of the poisonous insect. In order to prevent it from spreading to the world, the master tried his best to get rid of the poisonous insect that Ye Jiu had raised with great difficulty. In the end, he lost his life because of this.
"I thought no one in this world would ever know about the existence of the human-faced Gu..."
Ye Jiu sighed, and said with a more serious expression: "I didn't expect that the Tenth Prince could possess and control this rare thing. It seems that we still underestimated him!"
Di Ying did not respond to Ye Jiu's words, but remained silent, as if thinking about something.
"What are you doing?" Ye Jiu didn't hear Di Ying's answer. He turned around and saw him looking thoughtful.
Ye Jiu couldn't help but roll his eyes and asked speechlessly: "How did you know about the human face Gu?"
Di Ying scratched his head, laughed, and said only one sentence: "I just suffered a loss at the hands of that thing once."
Di Ying really didn't want to recall that scene at all.
Not to mention a man like Di Ying who has been wandering around the world, he dared to say that anyone would be scared to see that man swinging an axe without a head.
Ye Jiu sneered and guessed what Di Ying had experienced. "Did he get beaten?"
Di Ying sighed, thinking that finally there was someone who could listen to his experience, and he told the whole story in a clear and concise manner.
Ye Jiu raised an eyebrow, "So scary?"
Di Ying nodded with lingering fear, "That's right! That guy has no head, but he has amazing strength and speed. He is simply a monster!"
Ye Jiu raised his lips slightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "It's nothing, after all, it's controlled by a Gu worm, it will naturally move after its head is chopped off."
Di Ying's eyes widened. "Don't underestimate it! Even though it has no head, it can sense everything around it, and its attacks are very fierce. Most people are no match for it!"
Ye Jiu snorted, "Of course, the human-faced Gu's vision is tested not by the eyes, but by the ears!"
Ye Jiu's playful and gloating look made Di Ying very unhappy. He asked unhappily, "You weren't cheated? Then how come you lost your hand?"
Ye Jiu shook his head nonchalantly and said, "Come on, I didn't intend to kill him like that in the first place."
If he succeeded today, although the follow-up would be very simple, but when he thought that the Tenth Prince had the living dead in his hands, Ye Jiu was extremely glad that he did not get rid of him today.
If Ye Jiu succeeds, the subsequent clues may be cut off. Who knows how many of these harmful things are hidden in Qi State.
When Di Ying heard this, he paused, his expression became more serious than ever before, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Ye Jiu was too lazy to pay attention to him and said, "Why do you care about me? Just take care of your master."
Then, Ye Jiu talked about what happened before, "Today, the Tenth Prince asked me whether it was the Emperor or Concubine Li."
Then, Ye Jiu looked at Di Ying and continued, "According to the rules of your Qi State, the child of Zi'er and I can also become the crown prince."
"Do you think," Di Ying continued Ye Jiu's words, "will His Highness the Tenth Prince attack the princess?"
In fact, Di Ying had already started thinking about this problem, after all, there were those secret passages in the princess's mansion.
If the tenth prince really wanted to attack the princess, with the help of the living dead, he could do it without anyone noticing.
Ye Jiu didn't care what Di Ying thought. He just continued to talk to himself: "It's always better to be prepared. I'll get some insect repellent herbs in the next two days. You can spread them everywhere."
After finishing speaking, Ye Jiu suddenly thought of something and added: "By the way, there seems to be something wrong with that living dead man. He is not that powerful."
Hearing Ye Jiu's words, Di Ying felt a little confused and couldn't help asking, "Is it really possible?"
After all, the living dead are too scary, and Di Ying was a little nervous. He was the type of person who was afraid of snakes once and ropes for ten years.
However, Ye Jiu did not allow others to question his medical skills, especially in front of him.
He stared at Di Ying and said angrily, "Who knows medicine? Do you think I don't? Since you know that I am the number one secret guard of Xuan State, then you should know that I also know about Gu worms."
Ye Jiu's tone was full of confidence. He believed in his own abilities. "At least in Xuan State and Qi State, no one dares to compete with me in medical skills or witchcraft."
Of course, there are two people in Ye Jiu's heart that he dare not compare with, one is his master, and the other is his senior brother whom he has never met.
After hearing what Ye Jiu said, Di Ying was a little unconvinced, but he rolled his eyes helplessly to show that he accepted it.
Finally, Di Ying nodded. He thought to himself, what Ye Jiu said made sense anyway, and it was always a good idea to make more preparations.
As Ye Jiu thought about it, he thought of the Tenth Prince again. He pointed at his head and asked doubtfully, "I say, is there something wrong with the Tenth Prince?"
Di Ying didn't understand, and frowned and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Ye Jiu looked disgusted and shook his head, saying, "You know what? That guy actually knew I was here to kill him! And what's even more bizarre is that he was actually...excited!"
Di Ying had a calm expression on his face, not feeling strange at all. Instead, he sneered, "You are masked, carrying a knife, and drugged. Are you here to kill or save people?"
