Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 871 Take her back to save my older brother

"I've also discovered that someone in this military camp is raising Gu poison."

Huo Qing briefly explained everything she had found out in the past two days to Chu Yueli.

“There is a hill near the military camp, heavily guarded, and we can’t get close, but I know there are five-wheeled grasses inside.”

"Five-wheel grass?" Chu Yueli had never heard of it before.

“These are herbs used to feed the Heart-Eating Gu,” Huo Qing said.

Once she explained it that way, everyone understood.

Since someone is feeding the Heart-Eating Gu, then the Heart-Eating Gu on Chu Xiaohe's body was most likely also planted by that person.

Nanmeng is not as good as Nanling, which has so many people who know witchcraft. Not everyone here knows how to raise Gu. People who feed Heart-Eating Gu have appeared in the military camp. They just mentioned Chu Xiaohe again.

Nothing in this world can be a coincidence.

The person who cast the curse must be here.

“I heard that the person who raises Gu must raise them himself. If that’s the case, that person must often go to pick the Five-Wheel Grass.”

In fact, Chu Yueli already had someone in mind, but she still couldn't be sure.

“There’s a strategist in the military camp named Master Mo. He’s from the Central Plains. He was the one who mentioned that my elder brother would soon be taken into custody.”

So, could the person that Third Aunt saw often picking five-wheel grass be Master Mo?

"He was a man around forty years old, and about half a head shorter than Yunfei..."

"What I saw was a girl."

"Miss?" Chu Yueli was taken aback.

Huo Qing nodded: "It's a girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and everyone respects her very much..."

“It should be their Princess Yingying, Yuwen Ying.” Ye Zi had already investigated beforehand. She looked at Chu Yueli and said, “Yuwen Shu has two younger sisters, one is Yuwen Ya, and the other is Yuwen Ying. Yuwen Ya is nineteen years old, reserved and deep, with a very deep mind. Yuwen Ying is sixteen years old, and has longed for the Central Plains since childhood. She also has a Master Mo by her side.”

“Then it must be Yuwen Ying,” Huo Qing said.

Lu Yunfei's face suddenly darkened.

"I've seen her before." Master Mo called her Princess, so it must be Yuwen Ying.

She loved everything about the Central Plains and wanted Lu Yunfei to tell her about the Central Plains to lull her to sleep!

"Is it the princess from tonight?" Chu Yueli thought for a moment, her brows furrowing slowly. "If I had known, I should have kidnapped her tonight! Now that I've missed her, it won't be easy to find her tent."

Inside the military camp, the tents where the commanders and their lords lived were not much different from the other tents. The only reason for this was to prevent assassins from finding the commanders at a glance, which would make assassination much easier.

The camps were arranged to be almost identical in order to protect the commander-in-chief.

As a princess, Yuwen Ying was someone who needed protection, and her tent was mostly the same as everyone else's.

They can tell the difference among their own people, but it will be very difficult to find intruders like Chu Yueli.

"Judging from this, Princess Yingying is very likely the one who cast the curse."

Huo Qing clenched her fists and narrowed her eyes: "Time is running out. We must bring her out, tie her up, and make him remove the curse from Xiao He, otherwise..."

Otherwise, Huo Qing couldn't bear to continue.

How could she bear to see Chu Xiaohe become a Gu poison user, controlled by the enemy for the rest of his life?

"There's no time to lose. While they're dealing with the assassins and the military camp is in chaos, I'll go and bring Yuwen Ying out."

Chu Yueli looked at Huo Qing, "Third Aunt, take her back and save my eldest brother."
