Chapter 2171 Tracking Spices
Bai Zepei opened his eyes instantly. Just from the title, he knew that the other person was not a simple person.
A young man with a fat head and big ears came in. Just as he was about to enter the cell, he was stopped by a servant.
"My lord, please don't get close. He will attack with his spiritual consciousness and give you a headache. He just caught his head and went to see a doctor." The servant said cautiously.
"Oh? Interesting, how did you catch him?" asked the fat young man.
"There were many of us at that time. Even martial arts masters may have exhausted their inner strength sometimes, let alone his special attack." The servant replied.
Zhou Shixuan looked at Bai Zepei and suddenly laughed, "I'll go in and take a look, you guys get out first."
"Your Majesty, no!" The servant became anxious upon hearing this, "This is too dangerous."
"Isn't he unable to move? What are you afraid of? Besides, I won't harm him." Zhou Shixuan said carelessly, "Get down quickly. Why can't I speak?"
Everyone else retreated, except for the guard who was following him. The man had no sense of presence, but Bai Zepei felt that he was a master.
Zhou Shixuan walked into the cell swaggeringly. I wonder if he is extra confident, or if he is just a straw bag and not fearless?
Bai Zepei glanced at him coldly and was not in a hurry to attack him with his spiritual consciousness. He wanted to see what the prince had planned.
"You are Bai Ruozhu's brother, right? I happen to be Zhou Shibin's brother. My name is Zhou Shixuan, the eldest son of Prince Ying." Zhou Shixuan said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, you may not know that Zhou Shibin, my good-for-nothing brother, was Your sister is being held hostage."
Bai Zepei remembered what the prison chief had said before, saying that Ruozhu had rescued Tang Feng and also held hostage the second son of Prince Ying.
He remained silent, quietly waiting for Zhou Shixuan to continue speaking.
"Let's put it this way, my brother is just a bastard, but he is very ambitious and always wants to bring me down. Do you think I will tolerate such a person? However, my father values his heirs and does not allow us brothers to kill each other. I have no choice but to endure it. Now that he is being held hostage by your sister, I am not in a hurry. I can send you to reunite with your sister and pretend to rescue him, and you just need to help me kill him in the chaos. "
After Zhou Shixuan finished speaking, he burst into laughter, as if the plan was about to come true.
Bai Zepei looked at him coldly. Isn't this man a bit stupid? He killed Zhou Shibin, and then Zhou Shixuan took over and launched an attack. After catching them and going back to claim credit, wouldn't he have taken advantage of them?
Besides, if Ruozhu didn't kill anyone, he must have some scruples. Why would he kill a young master of Prince Ying who had no grudge against him?
"What, you don't dare?" Zhou Shixuan said with some provocation. This provoking method was too obvious.
"If you don't do it, the risk is too great." Bai Zepei replied.
"There is no risk in anything these days. Is it better for you to die yourself, or to take a chance?" Zhou Shixuan said.
Bai Zepei didn't speak this time and seemed to be thinking about it. Zhou Shixuan smiled proudly and said, "Think about it carefully and let someone tell me about it when you have decided."
He strode out of the cell, and soon someone came in, put Bai Zepei down from the torture rack, and gave him food and water, but the door of the old room was locked tightly.
Bai Zepei ate something and felt a little stronger. He decided to "consider" it and then agreed to Zhou Shixuan's proposal.
Zhou Shixuan could fool him into killing people, and then surround and suppress them to take the credit. Then he could also fool Zhou Shixuan into pretending to agree. Then it would be up to him to decide whether to kill or not?
But does Zhou Shixuan know how to find the little sister and the others? Or did he know it all along and deliberately delayed it, hoping to make his concubine suffer more torture?
…
The next day, everyone met a small river, and Tang Feng pretended to say that Zhou Shibin smelled too bad, so why don't they wash him off?
Bai Ruozhu rolled his eyes and said, "It's up to you. If you have time, just wash it for him and ask Mu Yu to do it for you."
Mu Yu wailed, "Madam, you're always like this if you don't take care of me. Where did I offend you? Can't I change it?"
"No, I just like seeing your funny expression." Bai Ruozhu replied with a smile.
Now Mu Yufengzhong is in a mess. If he had known this, he would be calmer in the future. As long as he doesn't react so much, the lady will probably find it boring and won't torture him anymore, right?
Look at Jing Lei's dead face every day, and his wife will never think of him when something happens.
Mu Yu made a careful decision. From now on, Mu Yu would be a handsome guy with a dead face like Jing Lei.
Soon, Zhou Shibin was carried into the river by Tang Feng, but his movements were not gentle at all. He directly pushed the person into the water, causing Zhou Shibin to drink a large amount of water.
But he couldn't move and could only let himself sink into the water. Fortunately, Tang Feng picked him up again.
Bai Ruozhu and Yizi took Xiao Dengdeng away to the lower reaches. Jiang Yichun and the others were preparing lunch not far away, paying attention to the situation in the river from time to time.
Not long after, a faint red color leaked out of Zhou Shibin's clothes, flowing downstream with the water, as if the fabric of his clothes was fading.
Bai Ruozhu used the jug to scoop out the water with quick eyesight, and put the red color in it.
After that, Zhou Shibin no longer had any abnormality. I guess this was his purpose.
Bai Ruozhu took the jar and showed it to Gao Zhan and Jiang Yichun. Jiang Yichun quickly recognized what it was.
Zhou Shibin was so tortured in the water that he was always facing the possibility of drowning, so he didn't even notice that Bai Ruozhu had intercepted the red color emitted from his body.
Seeing that Bai Ruozhu already had the answer, Tang Feng was no longer in the mood to play with him, so he directly lifted Zhou Shibin out of the water and threw him onto a big rock nearby.
"Just dry it here and I'll turn it over for you later." After Tang Feng said that, he stretched out his hand and touched Zhou Shibin's sleeping point.
He strode over and asked, "What is it?"
"It's a special kind of medicine. Among the nobles of Chengshui Country, there is a secret of raising a tracking bug. You can find the red medicine, and then you can find clues by going straight up the river." Jiang Yichun explained, "I once I saw that kind of bug when I was at the General Affairs Department.”
"It should be a Gu insect, right?" Bai Ruozhu asked.
"I'm not sure, but it has no attack power. It just tracks very well. For the sake of safety, let's stay away from the river first." Jiang Yichun said.
Everyone agreed, and then Zhou Shibin was thrown into the carriage dripping wet without being turned over. When he woke up, he sneezed twice. He was wet all over and felt more uncomfortable than before. .
