Chapter 873 Gu
"Greetings to the Saint!" The people from the Li tribe came to greet her.
Shen Shuyi didn't expect to see the Li tribe's holy lady, Qin Xin Jian Po and his group here, all of them drawing their weapons and on guard.
After all, as the saint of the Li clan, it was difficult for them to judge her purpose at the moment.
The Li saint turned her head and looked at Shen Shuyi and his group. When her eyes fell on Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi, her pupils shrank slightly and she subconsciously took two steps back.
She closed her eyes, as if forcing herself to see something clearly.
Images were changing rapidly before her eyes, but others had no idea what she was seeing.
After a while, the saint of the Li clan slowly opened her eyes, but compared to before, Shen Shuyi could clearly feel that her aura was a little weaker, and her eyes were a little bloodshot.
Li Miao took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Saintess, the Second Elder has evil ambitions. He secretly uses poison to raise assassins and colludes with foreign nations. He intends to do something illegal. I hope Saintess..."
Before Li Miao finished her words, the Saint raised her hand and walked in front of Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi.
The Saint spoke slowly: "I can lend you a helping hand to eradicate the Second Elder's lineage, but I also have a request. You Daqian must ensure the safety of our Li clan for twenty years."
Xie Jingchi sneered: "The Saint is indeed a Saint, her mind works quickly."
"Bold!" A woman next to the saint pointed her sword at Xie Jingchi. At the same time, Qin Xin pointed her sword at the saint to stop her.
Shen Shuyi said slowly: "The Second Elder is a traitor of the Li clan. We were invited by Li Ye to come and help. It is clear that we helped the Saint solve a big problem. How come you said that you helped us?"
Li Ye frowned and stepped forward: "That's right! If the Second Elder is not eliminated, it won't be long before he leads his men into the Holy Palace! He will even kill you and take the position himself!"
Li Miao: “…”
I hope that someday, his younger brother can grow a little more brains.
The Saint was silent for a moment, then slowly said to Xie Jingchi: "I can cure the poison in you, but you have to promise to protect my Li clan for the next twenty years."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi turned around in disbelief and looked at Xie Jingchi.
The Gu in his body?
There is a Gu on his body!
Shen Shuyi's eyes turned red and she felt a little out of control. She wanted to say something but knew that now was not the right time.
Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips, his narrow and long phoenix eyes were sharp and deep. He stared at the saint for a moment, which made the saint of the Li clan feel stiff and cold all over.
She tried to remain calm, but still couldn't control her urge to kneel down and surrender.
In the future she saw, the man in front of her was the future decisive and murderous emperor of Daqian!
And obviously, he did not have a very good impression of the Li clan. Ten years later, his iron hooves and army would crush the Li clan, and the Li clan would be wiped out.
The remaining people merged with the people of Daqian, and the witchcraft of the Li clan was also completely banned.
"The Saintess of the Li Tribe does have some skills." Xie Jingchi spoke faintly, his eyes gloomy: "However, since this Gu in my body was put by you, shouldn't you remove it?"
The Saint of the Li Clan was silent for a while, then bowed deeply to Xie Jingchi and said, "Your Excellency is right, but this is the request of our Li Clan. If you can agree, our Li Clan will definitely serve you and help you repel the Yuanxia army."
This time, the Li saint lady was very humble.
Although she knew that he could still repel the Yuanxia army even without their Li clan, she could only surrender in this way.
Xie Jingchi remained silent for a long time, his eyes thoughtful.
A thin layer of sweat seeped out of the Li tribe saint's head. Is this the aura of the future Human Emperor?
It’s just obvious that this future Daqian, or even the future emperor who would unify the world, did not have a very good impression of their Li clan.
"I only ask for the safety of my Li people. I ask for nothing else." The saint spoke again.
A hint of thought flashed across Shen Shuyi's eyes. If at first, the attitude of this Li saint lady seemed like negotiation, but now it had turned into pleading, which was much more humble.
But why?
Xie Jingchi said in a deep voice: "Okay, since the Saint Lady is devoted to the people, I will report to His Majesty on your behalf, but I cannot influence His Majesty's decision."
"Thank you, sir." The saint of the Li clan breathed a sigh of relief, then signaled her subordinates to go and help, hunting down the second elder's lineage.
Shen Shuyi said: "That poisonous insect..."
The Saint said slowly: "Please thank you, sir, for extending your hand."
After Xie Jingchi stretched out his hand, the Saint examined his pulse, frowned slightly, and after a while, she said, "Please follow me to the Saint Palace."
Shen Shuyi held Xie Jingchi: "I'll go with you."
Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips, his eyes softened a little: "Okay."
Shen Shuyi didn't notice that Qin Xin and Jiang Po behind her brightened their eyes when they heard that the poison in Xie Jingchi's body could be cured.
At this point, Shen Shuyi no longer cared about the Second Elder, and his mind was filled with the poisonous insect in Xie Jingchi's body.
However, it doesn’t matter when he was infected. What matters is, will the saint of the Li clan really help him remove the poison?
Not long after, the group entered the Holy Palace.
At this moment, the sky was slightly bright, and the lights in the Holy Palace were still bright.
Shen Shuyi looked around. This place was close to the Daqian Imperial Palace, but it was surrounded by gauze and the air was filled with a faint scent of herbal incense. The stone pillars and roof were painted with various totems.
Compared with the Daqian Palace, it is more mysterious and quiet.
However, perhaps because the Li clan was not large, the area of this holy palace was much smaller than that of the imperial palace.
The group followed the Saint Lady and others into the hall.
The Saint asked the attendants to light the incense, and then said to Xie Jingchi and Shen Shuyi: "The poisonous insects in your body have been attached to you for a long time. If you force them out, you will suffer from the pain of gnawing at your heart. After the poisonous insects are drawn out of your body, your body will be damaged. You will need to recuperate for some time."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi frowned tightly and looked at Xie Jingchi with eyes full of heartache.
This poisonous insect has been in his body for many years, and no one knows when someone put the poison in his body.
She gently held his hand and slowed down her tone: "I'm always here with you. If it hurts, just hold on to me."
Xie Jingchi's eyes softened and he smiled softly: "Okay."
The Saint ordered the people to serve the fruits and vegetables, and left the room: "It will take half an hour for the incense to cause the insects to move. I will come back in half an hour."
After saying this, the saint led her people out of the room.
As soon as she left, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but look at Xie Jingchi and asked worriedly, "Why is there a poisonous insect in your body? When did it happen? What kind of poison is it? Does it hurt?"
Xie Jingchi stared at her with a smile in his eyes: "You care about me."
Shen Shuyi was stunned for a moment, and felt annoyed: "What time is it, and you are still talking about this!"
