"Who is your mother?" Wen Qingzhu could feel that this middle-aged man was not lying.
This is the strangest thing!
If this man didn't lie, then how on earth did his mother know that he was going to die, and he also said that he must give this thing to her!
The boss raised his head, with a hint of fear suddenly appearing in his eyes. He shook his head vigorously and said, "My mother is just an ordinary person! She is nobody! I will leave this thing to my wife!"
He put the stone directly on the ground, turned around and ran away.
The person guarding the door wanted to stop him, but Wen Qingzhu winked and told the boss to leave, while sending someone to keep an eye on him.
Wen Qingzhu walked over and bent down to pick up the stones.
The moment her fingertips touched the white stone, a warmth immediately spread to Wen Qingzhu's heart, dispelling the darkness in her heart.
Wen Qingzhu retracted his hand almost reflexively.
"Madam! What's wrong?" Xi'er quickly came over to help her.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the stone with a complicated expression, and finally said, "Xi'er, pick up this stone and give it to Lu Tao."
"Oh." Xi'er took the order to pick up the stone.
The moment she stood up straight, Xi'er was also stunned.
Wen Qingzhu asked her: "How do you feel?"
Xi'er turned her head blankly and looked at Wen Qingzhu: "Madam, I feel... so warm. I suddenly thought of my grandma."
"Your grandma?" Wen Qingzhu frowned slightly.
But then, she saw Xi'er's tears streaming down her face, and cried: "I grew up with my grandma. When I was very young, my grandma died, so I was sold to the Wen family by my aunt, and I grew up slowly. , I remember less and less about my grandma, but I know I once had a grandma."
Xi'er has never said anything about this matter.
Xi'er wiped her tears with a happy face: "I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered it. Fortunately, I remember grandma's appearance now."
"Really... That's good." Wen Qingzhu looked at the stone, feeling very conflicted.
After a while, Xi'er came back and she happily told Wen Qingzhu: "Madam, Sister Lutao just hugged me and told me that maybe she should live a better life and shouldn't dwell on the past!"
Wen Qingzhu felt relieved and nodded: "That's good. Let her keep that stone with her from now on and never leave her body."
"Yeah." Xi'er was a little confused, but didn't say much.
In the evening, the person who was following the boss came back and reported that someone was rummaging around the boss's house, seemingly looking for something.
Wen Qingzhu asked them to keep watching, as long as those people didn't hurt anyone.
Early the next morning, Old Man Ha wanted to see Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu asked Lu Tao to take care of things while he watched the secret guards send news about Yuhua Town in the house.
Since the beginning of the year, a total of thirty-two girls have disappeared in Yuhua Town. At the same time, there are also some missing girls in Cangzhou, but the specific number is difficult to calculate.
Wen Qingzhu calculated that the number would not be less than thirty-two. After all, Cangzhou's population was dozens of times that of Yuhua Town.
There are also many Wu tribesmen who have settled in Cangzhou, and I am afraid that the collection of ninety-nine girls will soon be successful.
Cangzhou City, the backyard of the Runan Palace.
A beautiful and eerie middle-aged woman threw the tea cup in front of her at the kneeling person.
"Trash! You are all trash! What is the use of this princess raising you!?"
"Princess, please spare your life! Please give me ten days, and we will definitely find the last three suitable girls from the Witch Clan!" The kneeling man lowered his head in fear and kept begging for mercy.
The woman sitting on it was naturally Princess Runan. She suddenly laughed, and her long nails were painted with a layer of blood-red kodan.
She raised her hand and said softly: "Come here, I will personally give you a solution."
The kneeling man stood up tremblingly, walked up to the princess in fear, and knelt down at her feet.
"Lift your head." The princess continued to order softly.
A man should not raise his head when he is afraid, but he is even more afraid of death. He knows very well how tragic the end will be for those who disobey orders!
After raising his head, the man saw the princess's delicate face and couldn't help but feel excited.
Suddenly, the princess's eyes changed. She raised her hand and scratched the man's face with her nails, leaving three scratches on it.
Soon, the man's face turned black and blue, then black and purple, and his breathing became increasingly difficult.
The man felt something blocking his throat, and he clasped his throat hard with both hands, trying to dig out the thing blocking his throat.
In the end, he couldn't feel anything. He only wanted air so strongly that he inserted his fingers directly into his throat.
There was a click, the throat was broken, and the man's life was cut off at this moment.
The dim room was filled with the fishy smell of blood.
The front door was pushed open, and a girl who looked very similar to the princess walked in.
She was dressed in a fancy dress, very flamboyant and gorgeous.
After looking at the corpse on the ground, the girl asked with a sweet smile: "Mother, these wastes have no ability, so let your daughter go. There are many Wu girls in Cangzhou! As long as they have the father's order, who of them can't do it?" Dare to resist!"
Princess Runan looked up at her daughter, her eyes a little more gentle, but still filled with endless gloom and viciousness: "Ping Hui, don't do this nonsense, Marquis Ping Guo is not that easy to fool!"
Hearing these words, the girl's face suddenly darkened, and she said viciously: "Cangzhou is already in our hands! If we can't kill them, why can't we poison them?"
The princess shook her head: "They are not that simple! Didn't Yuan Ming die last time?"
Hearing this name, the girl's expression suddenly became gentle again: "That's because Brother Wu is very strong in martial arts and is invulnerable to all poisons."
"Immortal to all poisons?" The princess sneered, "There is no real immunity to all poisons in this world!"
The girl walked to the princess and sat down next to her. She held her hand and said coquettishly, "Mom! I really like my brother, can you please let him live?"
"It's okay to spare his life, but do you think he will spare yours?" The princess looked at her innocent daughter with a cold face.
"Then what should I do!" The girl suddenly threw away the princess's hand, her eyes were extremely violent, and she shouted angrily, "Are you like mother, who poisoned your father so much that he can't move, hear, see, or speak? "
The princess looked at her daughter quietly and said indifferently: "I also gave him a chance, but he insisted on keeping that bitch, and there was nothing I could do about it."
Yuhua Town Inn.
Lu Tao looked down at Old Ha who was forced to kneel on the ground: "You are too naive. Since Madam dares to stay in the inn, she is naturally fully prepared."
She raised her eyes and looked around, seeing corpses scattered all over the place.
Old Man Ha kept staring at a purse on Lu Tao's waist, and said with dizzy eyes: "That traitor actually handed over the Holy Stone to you!"
"Holy stone?" Lu Tao raised his arm, and a warmth came again.
She turned back to look at Old Man Ha: "It seems that Madam is right. You were the one who killed the old woman. After all, the people who have such means, except Princess Runan, are your real members of the Wu Clan."
"Give me back the holy stone! Give me back!" Old Man Ha shouted almost crazily.
At this time, Wen Qingzhu came out, looked around and asked, and happened to hear what Old Man Ha said.
The Holy Stone of the Witch Clan? Why has she never heard of this
Wen Qingzhu turned around and came downstairs, walking to Lu Tao's side.
Asking her: "He said the holy stone is this one on your body?"
Lu Tao nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that I couldn't get out of his mouth what effect this holy stone has, but one thing is that with this stone, I feel much more settled."
"That's good." Wen Qingzhu nodded and turned to look outside the door.
It’s time for Old Man Ha’s people to send Hu Sen over.
Half an hour later, a middle-aged man carried Hu Sen to the door.
He was tall and strong, with a cloth on his head and a sinewy face. He looked like he was not a good person.
"Let Master Ha go!"
The guards at the door were lined up, the swords in their hands had been unsheathed, and they were always alert to the man in front of them.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him and said calmly: "Return Hu Sen. In addition, we have no intention of returning your Mr. Ha to you."
The tall man stood at the door, breathing rapidly.
When he was about to take action, he suddenly felt a sharp danger coming from behind.
He immediately ducked back, but soon, danger came to his face.
He adjusted his direction again, preparing to go to the right—
wrong!
There's danger on the right too!
The tall man dodged to the left without hesitation. The moment he landed, three black iron feather arrows were stuck where he was standing, directly piercing the bluestone slab and entering deeply into the ground.
Wen Qingzhu spoke again: "If you don't let Hu Sen go, I won't give you a chance to live next time."
The tall man's breathing accelerated suddenly, and he seemed to have no intention of compromising.
At this moment, the good old man spoke: "Let Asen down."
Wen Qingzhu looked at the old man in surprise, and asked a little strangely: "Weren't you determined not to surrender just now?"
Old Man Ha's expression had calmed down at this time.
Looking at the purse on Lu Tao's waist, he said, "Maybe this is also fate."
The tall man immediately put Hu Sen down and stuffed him with a pill.
After Hu Sen, who was leaning against the wall, swallowed the pill, the numbness in his body slowly subsided, and then he turned his head and looked into the house.
"Madam, please let Grandpa Ha go."
Wen Qingzhu looked at him: "It's not that I let him go, it's that he let me go."
After regaining his strength, Hu Sen limped into the room and knelt in front of Wen Qingzhu.
He lowered his head and before he could speak, Old Man Ha began to struggle violently.
Old Man Ha yelled at Hu Sen: "You are the patriarch of the Teng family! You are the hope of the future of the Wu clan! You are also the next Witch King! You don't even have to kneel down as the emperor! You actually want to kneel down for the woman in front of you. !”
Hu Sen turned his head and looked at Old Man Ha sadly: "Grandpa, you have been teaching me with all your heart, and I know it, but the Wu Clan can never break away from Da Qi's rule, otherwise everyone in the Wu Clan will die!"
These words were like a heavy blow, causing Old Man Ha's head to shudder.
He murmured and shook his head: "Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible. The Wu Clan still has a chance, there must be a chance..."
Hu Sen no longer cared about Old Man Ha, but turned to look at Wen Qingzhu: "Madam, although I am the patriarch of the Teng family, I am also Hu Sen. I have definitely learned that Princess Runan imprisoned King Runan and took away the The Cangzhou military power plotted a rebellion and secretly prepared a large number of troops. They are just waiting for the blood sacrifice to be completed before the war officially begins!"
