"We were careless this time."
A robust voice inadvertently came from the study, speaking in the State of Zhao’s language but with a noticeable accent, indicating that the other party was from the State of Yan!
With the gradual recovery of her strength, Gu Jiao's senses had also improved.
She was able to hear the voices from the other side even through a whole room, while completely focused.
Gu Jiao held her breath, concentrated and listened as the man continued, "But it's also because Qin Fengyan was too impatient. If she had followed our orders, she wouldn't have exposed herself so early."
Afterwards, another person in the room said something, but unfortunately, the voice was too low for Gu Jiao to hear clearly.
But Gu Jiao guessed that the person was saying something like "you overestimated her," because the Yan man responded, "We also aspire for the younger generation to surpass the old, don't we? Who would have expected that compared to her mother, she still lacks a bit of experience."
After that, the two people alternated between speaking in the Yan language and the Zhao language. When they spoke in the Zhao language, their voices were too low, and when they spoke in the Yan language, Gu Jiao couldn't understand, making her regret not learning more foreign languages.
There was one sentence Gu Jiao understood though—— "General Nangong, thank you very much."
The person in the room was a general of the State of Yan?
After that sentence, the two people in the room came out one after another, surrounded by a large group of Dragon Shadow Guards, making it difficult to see their faces clearly.
One of them went out of the villa, while the other headed towards the main courtyard.
The latter must be the ‘General Nangong.’
He spoke to his men in the State of Yan language, which Gu Jiao couldn't understand, but Long Yi seemed to grasp it. He swiftly whisked Gu Jiao away towards the rear of the main courtyard!
Behind the main courtyard was surprisingly a small courtyard.
There was no one guarding the small courtyard.
Every corner of this villa was heavily guarded, except for this one.
Either there was nothing here, it was empty, or it was heavily dangerous, and no additional guarding was needed.
Gu Jiao leaned towards the latter.
Long Yi led the way cautiously. As soon as his foot touched the courtyard, an arrow shot out of nowhere!
Long Yi quickly grabbed Gu Jiao, stepped back, and shielded her.
Gu Jiao was unharmed.
Looking at the cobblestone pattern on the ground in the courtyard again, this time, she understood.
She faintly tugged at her lips, "Eight Trigrams Formation."
The first thing her godfather taught her in her previous life was formations.
Gu Jiao took the lead, navigating with ease as if entering an uninhabited realm.
After breaking through the formation, she planned to remind Long Yi and the others to follow her steps.
But when she turned around, they were gone!
When she turned back, all five of them stood in front of her!
Gu Jiao: ...I forgot you guys are Dragon Shadow Guards, with great qinggong skills.
Hold on, if this formation couldn't stop the skills of the Dragon Shadow Guards, what was its purpose?
Did it mean that all those who dared to enter the courtyard were ordinary people?
Gu Jiao felt something was amiss.
Just then, several small dark spots flew out of the house, swiftly landing on the necks and backs of several people.
They were bugs.
Gu Jiao brushed off the bugs from her hand.
She was fine, but the four Dragon Shadow Guards who were bitten collapsed to the ground simultaneously.
Gu Jiao suddenly remembered what happened in the imperial study. Qin Fengyan effortlessly incapacitated the Dragon Shadow Guard.
Could it be the doing of these small poisonous bugs?
Were they the nemesis of the Dragon Shadow Guards?
Gu Jiao looked at Long Yi!
Long Yi had the most poisonous bugs on him!
Long Yi glanced at Gu Jiao, then at his fallen comrades, and stood still in confusion for three seconds.
The next moment, he fell to the ground in the same manner as his comrades.
Gu Jiao: “...”
Gu Jiao sighed, "Long Yi, you're fine."
Long Yi’s head and body remained motionless, but his both hands were feeling around, plucking a handful of grass from the ground and placing it on his head.
He seemed to be saying:
The person is dead, burn paper if you have any matter.
Gu Jiao: “...”
"They're not dead!"
Clearly, they were still breathing.
Gu Jiao simply didn't know what to say.
It was really tough for Princess Xinyang. Encountering a Dragon Shadow Guard like Long Yi, Princess Xinyang probably had her fair share of breakdowns.
The small poisonous bugs were ineffective against Long Yi and were all crushed to death by him one by one.
Meanwhile, the small poisonous bugs on the other four Dragon Shadow Guards were still lively, biting their exposed skin.
Gu Jiao crouched down and plucked a small poisonous bug from one of the Dragon Shadow Guards' necks.
Unexpectedly, when the black poisonous bug was removed, its stinger broke inside the flesh.
It seemed these small bugs had to pull out their own stingers.
Fine, she had some medicated oil anyway.
Gu Jiao took out a bottle of medicated oil from her pocket and dropped it onto the remaining small poisonous bugs. As expected, these bugs were immediately overwhelmed by the fumes and fell off the Dragon Shadow Guards by themselves.
The wound on the first Dragon Shadow Guard's neck also needed immediate attention. Without tweezers, Gu Jiao had to use the concealed silver needles she carried to pry the wound open and pick out the stinger.
Lastly, Gu Jiao applied some jinchuang medicine to the wound.
Throughout the process, Gu Jiao didn't take any protective measures for herself. However, these bugs just wouldn't bite her. Considering Qin Fengyan had also carried these poisonous bugs before, they might specialize in biting death warriors.
But wasn't Long Yi also a death warrior? Why didn't they bite him then?
Seeing that his comrades were fine, Long Yi didn't continue pretending to be dead. Perhaps following the principle of sharing fortunes and misfortunes, he sat cross-legged on the ground, grabbed a small poisonous bug, and tossed it onto the back of his hand.
He tossed one again, then another one.
But it seemed the bugs were all thrown unconscious by him.
Gu Jiao fetched an empty porcelain bottle and caught several small poisonous bugs to take home for research.
The four Dragon Shadow Guards sat against the wall. This kind of poison was too potent for them, and they needed some time to recover.
Gu Jiao went inside to continue looking for the antidote, leaving Long Yi to guard there.Raz P.'s Thoughts
