Chapter 938 - 938: I’m Willing to Use This Body to Bear All the Poison
Ye Siming originally didn’t want to leave Gu Nuo’er’s side.
However, since she had spoken, he would naturally do as she said.
He quickly went forward.
The hidden guards hadn’t taken many steps when he was kicked down from behind by Ye Siming.
He immediately fell to the ground.
Ye Siming’s gaze was cold.
He went forward and stepped on the man’s lower jaw with his boot, gently twisting his ankle.
The crisp sound of bones dislocating could be heard!
The hidden guard’s lower jaw was dislocated!
Ye Siming hadn’t even made a move!
His movements were smooth and decisive.
A dark green poison the size of a pinky fell out of the hidden guard’s mouth mixed with blood foam.
The hidden guard roared in pain, his cries terrifying.
However, Ye Siming only watched coldly.
He looked back to confirm Gu Nuo’er’s safety.
The child was squatting beside Luzhu and Qi Jingsheng.
Fortunately, they were fine and only fainted from the fall.
On the other hand, Gu Xinghan’s situation was not so good.
This was because the blade that had cut him was actually covered with poison!
A faint purple-black color appeared on the spot where Gu Xinghan was injured.
This was not a problem for Gu Nuo’er.
The child was about to save his life.
At this moment, Qin Song hurriedly approached the fenced courtyard with his men.
“Marquis, Your Highness, a total of 15 people were captured this time. No one escaped.”
Qin Song’s expression was solemn. “However, there are many people in Qingxi Village who have been poisoned. A total of 61 of them have symptoms of vomiting blood and fainting.”
“After a short interrogation, those hidden guards explained that they had placed the poison in the well. Countless villagers had drunk the water.”
Gu Nuo’er looked back, her gaze dark and cold.
“That’s not good. The water in the well comes from mountain springs. If the water in the mountains is polluted, the safety of the nearby villages won’t be guaranteed.”
Ye Siming pondered for a moment and made a prompt decision. “Qin Song, bring people to the surrounding villages and keep an eye on them. You must make sure that the villagers don’t drink well water for the time being. I’ll think of a way to resolve this.”
“Yes.”
Qingxi Village’s village chief walked over shakily. He was lucky not to have drunk water, so he wasn’t poisoned.
However, perhaps because he had fallen just now, his face was covered in dust and tears.
“Marquis, Princess, please save our village.”
He was about to kneel when Ye Siming held him back with his sheath.
“Now isn’t the time to cry. I’ll think of a way. Village Chief, go and keep an eye on everyone. Don’t drink water for the time being.”
After Ye Siming finished speaking, he turned to look at the child.
The coldness in his eyes faded a little and he whispered softly, “Wait for me here. Don’t run around, alright?”
Gu Nuo’er nodded obediently.
Ye Siming immediately brought the soldiers to the back of the mountain to see if there was a way to cut off a clean stream.
Gu Nuo’er didn’t walk far and walked around the village.
Almost every family had people who had fainted from poisoning.
If she were to save them one by one, it would probably be too late.
She wondered if the poison in the well had affected the commoners in the nearby villages as well.
The child calmed herself down.
Her black and watery eyes flickered a few times.
A hint of determination gradually appeared on her fair face.
As a princess, she also had the mission to protect mortals.
Gu Nuo’er couldn’t let more people be poisoned.
She silently chanted a spell.
‘I’m willing to use this body to bear all the poison and bless everyone to be safe and have a clear water source. No one will suffer again.’
The child’s eyes were bright and emitted divine light when no one was paying attention.
Powers suddenly rippled out from her small body.
Like breezes, they sent over wisps of vitality.
This made the expressions of the people who had already been poisoned revive.
