Seeing her silent look, Brother Gou Sheng couldn't show his face anymore. He let out a long breath and said, "I didn't want to involve innocent people, but it backfired. In the end, I had to rely on you to achieve this."

Task."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system sounded a task prompt.

Ding--

System: Main mission - "Rescue", assist friendly forces to find Baima Zixiu, a bloodline of the royal family of Nanzhao Kingdom, and successfully take him out of the imperial mausoleum tunnel. Accept/reject?

When Chen Baiqi saw that this task was perfectly in line with what she planned to do, it was equivalent to picking up a task and getting a reward for nothing. Just when she was about to "accept" it calmly, the task prompt sounded again.

Ding--

System: Main mission - "Erasure", assist friendly forces to find Baima Zixiu, a bloodline of the royal family of Nanzhao Kingdom, annihilate his existence from the world, and bury his bones in the tunnel of the imperial mausoleum unknown to the public. Accept/reject?

Note: You can choose between the main mission "Rescue" and the main mission "Erase". There will be no penalty for rejecting the main mission.

Chen Baiqi was a little stunned. This time, two main missions with completely different choices were released at the same time!

The directions of the mission are obviously two extremes, and the results are very clear. Based on her understanding of the system, this is a watershed moment for the decision of camp or general direction. She needs to make her own judgment now.

60s…59s…58s…

But the countdown started, and she only had one minute to think about it, so she frowned for a moment.

——

"What's wrong with you? Why does your face suddenly look so bad?" "Brother Gou Sheng" asked.

Chen Baiqi raised his eyes and glanced at him. The look in his eyes at that moment... Brother Gou Sheng didn't know how to describe it in detail, but it made his heart skip a beat and added ripples.

He was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes, put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and heard her say softly: "Nothing."

He couldn't help but look at her again, and saw that her eyebrows were elegant and bright, and her smile was somewhat peaceful and warm, as if the strange expression had never happened before.

"When this imperial mausoleum tunnel was first built, we specially invited Luban disciples to come and lay the work. It took several years and hundreds of mechanisms were secretly prepared. As soon as you step on the ground, the walls will be riddled with holes. What can you do?

Force your way through?"

Although Chen Baiqi looked the same on the surface, she was still a little absent-minded in her heart. She said: "I understand."

40s…39s…38s…

"If you use stones to explore the road, I'm afraid it won't work. Then it will be difficult for the agency to focus on preparing to capture. If it accidentally misses, it will be easier to find the way."

Chen Baiqi nodded: "I don't know martial arts, the method you used is not suitable for me, and I have no such plan."

Brother Gou Sheng fell silent after hearing this. He looked at her with his back and stepped back to see what she was planning.

27s…26s…

The countdown in Chen Baiqi's ears was progressing in an orderly manner. She looked calmly and spread out her palms. She saw the complex formations in her palms flowing over and overlapping, and the curse lines lingering. She summoned the Gu King who had been sleeping. It

As if she had just woken up, her body rose and fell, becoming more and more crystal clear. When spread out in her palm, it looked like a pink jade dumpling, soft, waxy and cute.

Chen Bai lowered his eyelids, lightly touched its tentacles, then looked ahead and said in his heart: Little Gu, summon some "rations" to clear the way for me.

The King of Gu slowly opened his eyes and moved the tentacles on his head. It had opened its intelligence and could communicate with its master and use its thoughts to drive.

After listening to her instructions, it suddenly opened a big mouth where there was no crack. The hole was dark like a bottomless whirlpool, and silent sound waves spread out in circles.

Although these sound waves are silent, they are transmitted through brain waves and have a certain stimulating effect. Chen Baiqi is naturally special as the master of the Gu King and is not infringed. However, brother "Gou Sheng" feels confused, as if he is being attacked by someone.

He took a hammer and hit it hard. He felt his ears and heart were blocked and his temples were swollen. So he quickly covered his ears and was covered in cold sweat.

There was no sound at all, which meant that covering his ears was useless. He gritted his teeth and groaned in discomfort, but Chen Baiqi realized his situation belatedly and let Xiao Gu pass him.

In this way, brother "Gou Sheng" was relieved. Although he didn't know what happened specifically, he could guess that it was related to Chen Rong.

His position was far back, and from his angle, he could only roughly see the outline of an object held in Chen Rong's palm.

When he saw the "little Gu" curled up in Chen Rong's palm, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times. He felt that this soft-bodied bug looked surprising and had an odd and eye-catching color. It seemed a bit familiar, but where exactly was it?

I've seen it before, but I'm not sure.

While he was thinking, not long after, sparse, rustling, and scalp-numbing sounds came from all over the tunnel, as if something was gathering more and more from the darkness, and the tiny sounds gathered together to the point where the ear could hear it.

"Gousheng" brother's eyes tightened, and he suddenly looked at his feet, and his expression suddenly froze.

He saw a group of snakes, insects, rats and ants as black as a carpet quickly passing by his feet and swarming forward. Goosebumps spread all over his body. He subconsciously wanted to get away, but he had no choice but to find that there was no place to reach in front, back, left, or right of him.

I'm afraid that if I move my foot even slightly, I will step on these "passers-by" who have gathered from nowhere.

"There is no need to be afraid, just stand still."

The gentle and calm female voice just soothed his tense nerves.

In the end, he could only hold back the discomfort all over his body and stood there holding his breath.

"This, these...how did you do it?"

"It's just some means of controlling poison."

insanity?

Brother "Gousheng" looked at her straight and calm back. After a while, he heard a voice from the front: "Follow me."

Brother "Gou Sheng" came back to his senses and saw those dark creatures like snakes, insects, ants and scorpions at his feet, wrapping up the dark tunnel like an army and sweeping away overwhelmingly.

To be honest, Brother Gou Sheng is a well-informed person who has seen a lot of things in the world, but now that he saw this disgusting and shocking scene, he was still a little stunned.

"They, they can listen to... your command?" He asked in a complicated tone.

Chen Baiqi seemed to laugh: "These insignificant creatures have no intelligence yet and cannot speak. They can only follow their instincts."

Fear, the most primitive instinct, she can't do it, but the little Gu can do it, like a tiger descending from a mountain, all beasts are afraid of it.

This imperial mausoleum tunnel has been open and constructed for decades. There are countless Yin creatures that thrive in the tunnel. The number that pops out from the nook and cranny of the tunnel is tens of thousands.

They crawled in the tunnel like wriggling black blankets, scouting the way for them in front, triggering any mechanism and not getting hurt, while they were looking for opportunities in the back, and they actually made it to their destination unharmed along the way——

Bright moon heart.

Hearing the sound of splashing water coming from ahead, the two stopped.

She asked: "Are we here?"

Brother Gou Sheng took out a leather map and spread it out. Then, he nodded: "It should be in front. The front is where the white horse is - the heart of the bright moon."

Seeing this, Chen Bai asked him to go forward to check first, while she walked slowly behind.

Brother "Gousheng" had no objection to this. He crossed the "black blanket" that made way for him with some chills and walked to the front.

After he went ahead, Chen Baiqi bent down and put King Gu down to the ground.

It gently rubbed Chen Baiqi's palm with its round head, then slowly crawled over and came to the group of snakes, insects, rats and ants. It opened its mouth suddenly, and the black and majestic hole was like a whirlpool.

It generates a huge suction force and swallows all the Yin-type creatures in the tunnel.

At this time, "Brother Gou Sheng" finally remembered something. He turned around and saw King Gu eating and closing his mouth. His expression paused for a moment. When he looked at King Gu, whose stomach had more than doubled in size, Fang said in surprise:

"King of Gu?!"

Chen Baiqi didn't expect that he would look back. When she heard his words, she looked a little surprised and didn't say a word.

After Brother Gou Sheng finished speaking, he immediately looked at her expression and knew that he had guessed correctly.

How did he know about the King of Gu? No, the appearance of Little Gu now is already different from that of the "King of Gu" in the past. It is impossible for ordinary people to recognize him unless he has seen it before.

But she only released the "little Gu" once, and it basically stayed awake for a long time after that, and she rarely took it outside.

Could it be that he had seen it in the hands of the Twelve City Lords of the Assassin League?

Or perhaps, she and he should have met before, at the banquet of the Six Nations Alliance, oh, when she was still "Chen Huanxian", there were quite a few people who had seen "Little Gu" at the banquet.

Sure enough, his next sentence agreed with her last guess.

"Isn't the King of Gu conquered by Chen Huanxian? Why is it in your hands? Is it really the King of Gu?" When he asked this question, his eyelashes were half furrowed and his eyes were sharp.

This Gu King had changed a lot, and he really didn't recognize it for a moment.

Chen Baiqi was mute for a moment, and after a long while, he managed to organize his words: "My lord...he gave it to me."

Hearing this, Brother Gou Sheng laughed, a little coldly: "Send it to you? Do you know how precious King Gu is? What is your relationship with him?"

Inexplicably, brother "Gousheng" felt hesitant about a certain speculation in his heart. What kind of possibility could there be between a man and a woman gifting such a precious thing apart from being intimate?

"...I am his sister."

ah?

He was stunned and had not thought about the answer for a while.

"Why have you never heard him mention..." He subconsciously answered, but quickly stopped. After he swallowed his words, he simply changed the subject: "Sister?"

Chen Baiqi didn't miss what he said, and she became more and more certain that this person must be acquainted with "Chen Huanxian". Unfortunately, she couldn't see his true appearance, and his name was also fake. If he had a fake name, the system wouldn't be able to detect the information.

"I don't admit it, but some past events between us brothers and sisters have always been kept secret from outsiders, so few people know about it."

Brother "Gou Sheng" heard that the two were brothers and sisters. When he looked at her face again, he looked more and more like "Chen Huanxian". The nose, the eyes, and even the temperament were the same, which made people happy.

They really are brothers and sisters.

Thinking of this, Brother Gou Sheng curled his lips and smiled, his eyes bright and bright: "You brothers and sisters... are amazing."
