Quick Wear: The Law of Salvation of Cannon Fodder

Xie Qi, who had just opened his eyes, felt confused. His mind had not yet received any information or memory about this world, and he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw a man in black clothes falling down like a broken string, blood gushing out from his neck, and a few drops of blood even sprayed onto Xie Qi's face.

Xie Qi lowered his head and didn't dare to move. He rolled his eyes and looked around, and found himself in a dim room filled with a strong smell of blood.

Chu Ye was sitting upright on a dark chair, his eyes cold as ice. On either side of him stood a personal guard holding a long sword.

The sword in the guard's hand was still dripping with blood. At Chu Ye's feet, two people lay in a pool of blood.

At this time, Xie Qi, like the other shadow guards kneeling on the ground, was dressed in black and knelt in front of Chu Ye Ze from a distance.

"You want to stay?"

Chu Ye's deep voice rang out in the dim room, like a cry for death from the underworld, making people shudder.

"Yes! Lord!"

However, just as he finished speaking, the guard beside Chu Ye Ze raised his knife and slashed it. A flash of cold light passed by, and another stream of scarlet hot springs gushed out. The secret guard didn't even have time to let out a scream before he collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Xie Qi's body trembled. Although he hadn't seen the person sitting above clearly, he could already feel that the other party must be someone not easy to mess with.

"948, transmit the plot."

As soon as Xie Qi finished speaking, a memory appeared in his mind.

The hero, Chu Ye, ascended the throne at the young age of thirteen, carrying the weight of the entire nation on his young shoulders.

He gradually transformed from a naive child into a wise and decisive monarch. Under his rule, the State of Chu grew stronger, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and social order was well established.

Ultimately, the State of Chu became one of the most prosperous nations of its time, and Chu Ye was immortalized as a wise ruler. His name is forever etched in the history of the State of Chu, becoming an eternal legend.

However, the prince who was beheaded by the protagonist in his previous life because of his failed rebellion has been reborn. He was reborn back to the age of thirteen when the protagonist just ascended the throne.

The protagonist's father died young, and he ascended the throne at the age of thirteen. At first, the protagonist regarded his uncle as his solid support.

However, because the previous emperor granted Chu Xiongran the title of vassal king, he felt resentful and began to confront the male protagonist everywhere. The relationship between the two gradually became distant and eventually evolved into a hostile situation with swords and spears.

However, this time, after his rebirth, Prince Chu Xiongran decided to change his strategy. He no longer openly confronted the male protagonist as he did in his previous life, but chose to play the role of a good uncle who cared for his nephew on the surface.

However, secretly, he actively won over the people, manipulated the government, and gradually weakened the emperor's power.

The male protagonist had just ascended the throne at this time and was still young, so he was unaware of Chu Xiongran's ambitions. Instinctively, he became dependent on his only relative.

In this way, Chu Xiongran, with his superb acting skills, successfully deceived the emperor and asked him to appoint him as regent. He said that this was to help the emperor govern the country more effectively.

Not only that, the Regent secretly cast a spell on the hero. Every month at the beginning of the month, the hero would suffer from horrific headaches, the pain so severe it felt like it was tearing his head apart, making it unbearable.

This endless pain and torture continued to erode the male protagonist's body, making him become thinner and thinner without realizing it.

However, when the hero finally realized the regent's conspiracy, it was too late. At this moment, although the hero still held the title of emperor, he had actually lost all power and became a veritable puppet.

Various rumors about this emperor circulated among the people. People said that the current emperor was cruel and bloodthirsty, like a demon descended to earth.

Others said that the emperor was addicted to wine and women all day long, ignored state affairs, and indulged in revelry every night, so that the wailing of palace maids and eunuchs could be heard every night in the palace.

There were even rumors that the emperor's bedroom was stained with blood every day and blood flowed like a river, and all this was ironclad evidence of the emperor's brutal rule.

In the end, due to the long-term torture caused by the poisonous insects, the protagonist's body could no longer withstand such torture, and he passed away at the young age of twenty.

After the protagonist's death, the regent ascended the throne, but he did not have the appearance of an emperor. Although the regent was ambitious, he lacked far-reaching aspirations and ideals, which eventually led to the country falling into chaos.

At this time, several other countries took the opportunity to unite and attack the State of Chu. Their armies were unstoppable and captured many cities along the way.

Facing the invasion of the enemy, Chu was unable to resist and could only retreat step by step. Eventually, the enemy captured the capital of Chu, ending the rule of this once powerful dynasty.

Xie Qi’s current identity is a shadow guard.

Today is the day when the emperor personally selects his shadow guards. Seven shadow guards were brought before the emperor and were examined by him. Xie Qi was one of them.

However, no one knew that Xie Qi had another identity: a spy carefully arranged by the Regent to be by the emperor's side.

Since the emperor had imperial physicians to examine his health every day and his diet was also closely monitored, the regent knew that he could not easily poison the emperor.

However, Chu Xiongran accidentally met a strange man in his previous life and learned that there was a pair of poisonous insects in the world, called love poison.

This poison has one male and one female, one yin and one yang, one dead and one disabled.

The survival conditions of this Gu are also very demanding, it must survive in a suitable host body, and the Regent just happened to discover that the Emperor has an extremely Yin constitution, which is very suitable for the survival of the mother Gu.

So the mother Gu was planted into the emperor's body, but the mother Gu was weak and needed to be nourished with special medicine every month to keep it active.

When the mother Gu is active, the male protagonist will suffer unbearable pain and even suffer a drastic change in temperament.

This medicine is not only colorless and odorless, but more importantly, it is non-toxic. Only when the insect and the medicine work together can they truly exert their unique efficacy.

Because of this, from the age of thirteen to eighteen, no one noticed anything unusual happening to the emperor.

Even though the Imperial Medical Bureau tried its best to diagnose the emperor, it was unable to find the exact cause of the emperor's physical discomfort. In the end, it could only attribute it to the emperor's weak constitution and long-term overwork.

However, if the use of the medicine to nourish the mother Gu is stopped, the mother Gu will return to calm and no longer pose any threat to the male protagonist.

At this time, the Regent had already noticed that the Emperor was wary of him. Therefore, in order to ensure that the Emperor took the medicine on time every month, the Regent decided to arrange for the original owner to approach the Emperor.

The original owner happened to have an extremely yang constitution. In order to prevent the original owner from betraying him, the Regent planted the male love-heart Gu into the original owner's body.

Once the female insect calms down, the male insect will make the host suffer from biting cold, bringing unbearable pain.

If the original owner did not want to endure this torture, the only option was to give the emperor medicine. Only when the female Gu's host felt pain could the male Gu's host be safe, and vice versa.

According to the original plot, the original owner was used as cannon fodder by the emperor during the selection of shadow guards.
