Chu Ci just stood there quietly looking at him, watching him curl up in pain, his face turning ashen.

"County Lady, I really don't know."

Chu Ci said calmly, "Oh? You really don't know?"

Chu Ci kept waving the silver needle in his hand back and forth in front of the man, and then shot it directly at the big tree next to him. The tree, which was as thick as a child, was actually pierced with a small hole by Chu Ci's silver needle.

Wuming saw Chu Ci's move from the side, and the back half of his brain began to numb. His master's silver needle skills were truly superb.

When he is in a good mood, he can revive the dead and turn flesh into bones. But when he is in a bad mood, he can kill people in various ways. When encountering danger, not many people can escape this trick.

Chu Ci closed her eyes anxiously, trying her best to hide her anxious expression. Where was her brother?

The man in black began to whimper in pain, and soon, blood began to flow from his face. "County Lady, please kill me! It would be more satisfying to kill me directly than to be tortured slowly like this."

Chu Ci opened his eyes and said, "Tell me about the master behind you. I want to know who wants to kill me. Did I kill his entire family or steal his wife?"

A cloud of crows flew over Wuming's head. His master was really not someone that ordinary people could control. Other people would dare to do something without saying anything, but his master was different. He didn't know whether he would do it or not, but he would definitely dare to do it.

The man in black kept shaking his head. He could no longer open his eyes, but even so, Chu Ci still did not let go.

"Tell me, if you don't, I'm leaving."

The man in black had no choice but to open his mouth to speak, but he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Wuming stepped forward to check and shook his head at Chuci, "Master, I can't see it."

Chu Ci went forward to take the patient's pulse. Not long after, he stood up and instructed Wuming, "Go and burn him. Try not to touch him. He has a Gu in his body and someone has placed a taboo on him."

Chu Ci walked to the side and stood there in a daze.

As soon as Wuming and the others left, a small note landed accurately at Chu Ci's feet.

Chu Ci looked around but saw no one. She bent down, picked up the note, and opened it. There were a few words written on it: "If you want your brother, go to the bridge in front of Qingsong College. You are allowed to come alone."

Chu Ci looked at the note in his hand. The bridge in front of Qingsong College? There didn't seem to be any place to hide people there.

Chu Ci instructed Qiuyue who was still standing aside, and handed the note to Qiuyue, "Tell Wuming and the others later to ask Caihe and the others to go with you. Remember, we must do it secretly and don't let anyone see us. Watch my gestures and eyes."

Chu Ci got on his horse and headed straight for the bridge.

Seeing that the master had left, Qiuyue quickly flew out and looked at the half-burned corpse, "Wuming, there's news. The master is gone."

Qiuyue handed the note back to Wuming, "The master said that we should keep this secret and watch her gestures and eyes."

After Qiuyue finished speaking, she called Caihe and the others and followed on horseback.

When they reached the bridge, Chu Ci got off her horse and looked around, but there was nothing wrong.

Looking more closely at the bridge, there really is a person there, dressed in ordinary clothes, and he seems to be of an unusual status. Could he be the person behind this?

Chu Ci stood at the end of the bridge, looking at the man, "I'm here to look for someone."

When the man saw that Chu Ci didn't recognize him, he suddenly laughed at Chu Ci, "I didn't expect our Miss Chu didn't recognize me. I'm really sad. Or should I call her Chaoyang County Lady?"

The man looked at Chu Ci as if he were looking at his toy. "How about it? Do you want to come and keep me company? Legend has it that the owner of Chaoyang County is beautiful and intelligent. It seems that legends can sometimes be very reliable."

Chu Ci didn't want to waste time talking to him. "Where's my brother?"

As Chu Ci spoke, he looked around, trying to see if there was any sign of Chu Zhen so that he could rescue him.

But the man seemed not to hear her question, holding a torn rope from somewhere in his hand.

"Princess Chaoyang, honestly, I didn't expect you to come here alone. Where's Prince Rui? Doesn't he want you anymore? Otherwise, how about you come with me? I promise that whatever Prince Rui can give me, I can give you too."

Chu Ci looked at this man coldly. It turned out that he knew quite a lot.

"Where's my brother?"

The man changed his posture, rubbed his nose, and leaned against the bridge. He looked really handsome.

"Princess Chaoyang, you are such an unlovable little girl! I'm talking to you about our marriage, and you're still thinking about your unlovable brother. What's wrong? Are you attracted to your brother because he looks pretty good?"

"I didn't expect our county lord to have such fun."

Chu Ci didn't say anything, but the silver needle in his hand flashed with cold light.

The man saw the silver needle in Chu Ci's hand, sneered twice, and pulled the rope in his hand in front of him, "Xiao Ci Ci, if I were you, I would take the needle back. I am a coward. If I let go of this, the person you are thinking about will fall into the river and drown."

Chu Ci looked along the rope in his hand and saw that the rope extended all the way to the bottom of the bridge.

Chu Ci looked under the bridge. It wasn't clear, but he saw a person tied to the rope, hanging under the bridge. Chu Ci's face turned dark.

"Are you crazy? Hanging someone under the bridge?" Chu Ci was angry. She wanted to give the man two injections, but he was holding the rope in his hand and she didn't dare to move.

If that dead man lets go, the person below will definitely die.

Chu Ci looked down carefully, trying to see the person below clearly, but it was really inconvenient. Judging from the clothes, they did look alike.

The man on the bridge looked at Chu Ci's puzzled expression and said sarcastically, "There's no need to doubt it, Princess Chaoyang. The man under the bridge was kidnapped from Qingsong Academy."

"However, you are so smart. It's hard to describe your brother. My people said that you were the one who called the person, and he really believed it. I really don't know if you two are biological children."

Chu Ci was speechless for a while, but she thought she should get the person down there first. What if it was her brother? She couldn't take any chances now. "Princess Chaoyang, to be honest, I originally wanted to kill the entire Chu family, but when I saw you, I regretted it!"

"How about this, as long as you are willing to come with me, I am willing to let Chu Zhen go."
