Wen Xiu was clamped with sticks and pincers. Her ten fingers were pinched until they were bloody. These bailiffs who performed the execution did not have any mercy on women at all. They were especially ruthless. Both of her legs were crippled.

Wen Xiu was trembling in pain, but she still refused to tell him how many assassins were lying in ambush in the city. Who were they going to assassinate next? It could be said that she was a tough nut to crack. With hatred, she could indeed hold on for a while longer. Li Fuhai was very anxious. If he could not complete the task assigned by the Emperor, he would be blamed.

Xiao Zeyu walked into the prison. Wen Xiu was about to be burned. She trembled in fear and instinctively avoided the burning iron.

“Give this to her.”

Xiao Zeyu stopped the bailiff, who was about to brand her, and gave him a medicine packet. No torture could compare to this packet of medicine.

“Your Majesty.”

Li Fuhai hurriedly gave up his seat to Xiao Zeyu. He stood at the side in fear and trepidation. There was an assassin in the city under his jurisdiction, and he had yet to interrogate him. He was afraid that the Emperor would blame him.

“Yes.”

Xiao Zeyu nodded with a dark face. Li Fuhai was at fault for dereliction of duty. He would deal with him later.

Wen Xiu couldn’t hold on any longer after taking the medicine. She lay on the ground like a pile of mud.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk…”

Wen Xiu told them about the spies she planted in Mo City and the assassins she brought out. She was the Kasak Kingdom princess and Chu Jingfeng’s sister. She was called Ming Zhu. She also had a twin sister called Ming Yue. The two sisters had been practicing martial arts since they were young. Ming Zhu was obsessed with witchcraft and had learned despicable methods from a Gu master. She had harmed the people of the Tartan Kingdom and the Central Plains.

To practice witchcraft, she had killed a hundred men born in the Yang years and a hundred women born in the Yin years and a Yin month. Later, she developed a love gu and witchcraft that could turn people into walking corpses.

When the country of Kasak was destroyed, the two sisters were refining Gu worms and witchcraft in the Central Plains. When they learned that the country had been destroyed and that Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing had killed their beloved second brother, the two of them began to plan to restore the country and take revenge.

After planning for over a year and obtaining much information, they knew that this year was Zhong Yongniang’s third anniversary. Xiao Zeyu must have come back to pay his respects.

They set up a trap. One of them put the love gu on Yeluchun and tortured Xiao Ying to force Xiao Zeyu to go to Tartan to see her. This was because, other than hating Xiao Zeyu, they also hated Yeluchun and Tartan, who had occupied their homeland.

If they wanted to use Yeluchun to kill Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu, even if they couldn’t kill them, it would cause a conflict between the two countries. Whether it was the destruction of the Tartan Kingdom or the Great Tang Kingdom, it would only benefit them.

Even if the Great Tang defeated the Tartan Kingdom, it would still be significantly weakened, and it would even leave behind a reputation of being ungrateful.

Torturing Xiao Ying was equivalent to taking revenge in disguise. Who asked her to be Xiao Zeyu’s younger sister, Yeluchun’s princess consort?

As for the pain on Yelu Chun’s child, there was no cure. They didn’t want this child to live at all. They were just using him as bait to lure Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing to Tartan.

Even if Ming Yue failed, Ming Zhu would control Li Daniu and wait for Xiao Zeyu to plant the love gu on him.

However, she didn’t get the chance because Xiao Zeyu didn’t even come to their house for dinner.

If Xiao Zeyu had gone to Aunt Li’s house that day, he would have become the second Yeluchun.

At that time, Ming Zhu would be able to force Xiao Zeyu to kill Su Qing and then slowly kill him with a slow-acting poison. After giving birth to a Crown Prince, she could control the government from behind the curtain and turn the Great Tang into a Kazak country.

It could be said that if their plan succeeded, the Great Tang and Tartan would be theirs. Su Qing, Xiao Ying, Yeluchun, and Xiao Zeyu would all die.

This plan sent a chill down Xiao Zeyu’s spine. The most vicious woman’s heart was like theirs. Their minds were meticulous and vicious, and their methods were impossible to guard against!

Against this kind of person, even martial arts were useless. That Gu worm could make people lose their rationality and thoughts and become obedient puppets.

Xiao Zeyu took a deep breath, his gaze heavy as he looked at Ming Zhu and asked,

“What kind of gu did you put on Li Daniu?”

“I used Obedience Gu and witchcraft on him. I used his blood to turn him into an undead beast. I was only one step away. As long as I wait until the full moon, I won’t lose. He will become an invulnerable Vajra and will help me take your life.”

Wen Xiu raised her head weakly. The words had already come out. It was as if her bones had been whipped. There was too much unwillingness in her voice.

“How?”

Xiao Zeyu kicked her and asked her sternly.

“If I die, he will die with me. My life is connected to his life. I don’t know how to cure it because it’s the most poisonous dead gu in witchcraft. There’s no cure.”

Wen Xiu laughed evilly. Li Daniu was her life-saving talisman. As long as Xiao Zeyu still remembered the brotherhood between him and Li Daniu, she would not die.

“Very good. I won’t let you die. I’ll make you wish you were dead.”

Xiao Zeyu’s face was as dark as water, and his entire body was filled with chilling killing intent. When he returned, he was going to read up on the art of witchcraft and find a way to cure this kind of dead witchcraft. Before he found a way, he could not let Ming Zhu die, but he could not let her live well.

Aunt Li and Uncle Li couldn’t die in vain. She had to pay the price.

On one side, Xiao Zeyu was offering bounties across the country, spending a large sum of money to find a capable person to cure the death gu. Conversely, Su Qing rescues Prince and orders the people above to pull him up.

She waited below. After the Prince went up, she pulled the rope and climbed up.

After the person above pulled the Prince, he also pulled the rope up. Su Qing’s expression turned cold. Did she save an ungrateful wolf?

“Miss, did you find a snow lotus on the mountain?”

The person who had asked for Su Qing’s help earlier leaned against the cliff and asked Su Qing.

“So what?”

Su Qing asked coldly, her voice filled with killing intent.

“Miss, please give it up. Our princess has been poisoned. Only the Tianshan Snow Lotus can save her.”

The voice of the messenger echoed in the glacier. He spoke with confidence, and his meaning was clear. If you don’t hand over the snow lotus, I won’t let you come up.

“If you want it, come down and get it yourself!”

This was a threat. Su Qing was someone who would not be threatened. He stared coldly at the Hui man with the aquiline nose. His eyes glowed blue under the sun, strange and greedy. This person’s bloodline should have foreign genes and was not pure Hui.

“Miss, don’t joke around. If I could go down, I would have done so. Please hand over the snow lotus so I can pull you up.”

The messenger smiled. His words were still polite, but he still wanted the lotus. He wouldn’t let Su Qing up if she didn’t give him the lotus. His wishful thinking was excellent.

The cliff was steep, and there was ice everywhere. This woman could not climb up without this rope, even if she were a great immortal. Therefore, she could only compromise and hand over the snow lotus..
