The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

Qi Yu stabbed the sharp blade in Su Guangwei's right leg. With a scream, the chaotic fighting scene suddenly became quiet.

"You... you dare to murder me? Qi Yu, you are no longer the crown prince. As long as I send a message to the Imperial Capital, you will die!"

Su Guangwei pointed at Qi Yu's face and wanted to say something, but Qi Yu had already broken his fingers.

"You were the one who robbed first. You coerced and bribed innocent people, and greedily seized their food for your own use. Even if I'm not the crown prince, I'll still deal with you!"

Without giving Su Guangwei a chance to speak, Qi Yu removed Su Guangwei's jaw with a click.

Looking at the reinforcements coming from all directions, Qi Yu raised the dagger in his hand and asked angrily, "Hand over our food!"

Qi Yu's words were met with hundreds of responses.

Everyone in the penal colony shouted in unison: "Hand over the food, hand over the food!"

A tall and thin man stumbled out of the house, "Show mercy!" he shouted, and when he got close to Qi Yu, he suddenly raised his hand. Although Qi Yu turned around to avoid it, something came out of his sleeve under his hidden weapon, suddenly crawled into Qi Yu's clothes, and soon penetrated into his skin.

"Qi Yu, let my princess go!"

The tall, thin man spread out his palm, revealing the green mother insect squirming in the box. He smiled with pride, "This is my clan's secret medicine, the puppet insect. Now the larvae have entered your body. As long as I control the mother insect, I can make you experience the excruciating pain of piercing your heart and gnawing at your bones, until you die after three days of being sucked blood by the larvae."

"Your Highness/Qi Yu!"

Hearing this, Zhao Li and Jiang Zhi looked over almost at the same time, looking at Qi Yu eagerly.

Qi Yu did not feel any discomfort. If he had not seen it with his own eyes just now, he would never have believed the words of the person next to Su Guangwei.

But he had heard of the puppet insect.

It is rumored that this is a witchcraft that has been popular among the Miao people for generations. The implication is that those who are poisoned will become like puppets.

Just now, this person put the larvae into his body. If he used this to summon the mother worm, he would be attacked by the larvae. However, it is said that this kind of witchcraft has been lost. I didn't expect that Concubine Su's family still had it in Duping County.

Yes, he remembered.

On the day Chen'er died, he saw the green larvae and thought they were fruit worms. He brushed them away, but he didn't expect that they would enter his body at that time.

No wonder he couldn't remember why he suddenly killed Chen'er that day. It turned out that everything was controlled by Concubine Su.

He was even willing to sacrifice his own child in exchange for his position as crown prince.

What a vicious woman!

"No problem."

Qi Yu waved his hand, signaling Zhao Li and Jiang Zhi not to be too nervous. He took out a dagger and cut a bloody wound on the palm of the poisoned hand. Soon, black blood was forced out by him using his internal energy.

This is what the imperial physician did that day.

"It's useless! If this puppet insect doesn't have the mother insect to summon it, it won't come out even if you drain its blood. Qi Yu, release my princess."

Not only did Qi Yu not let him go, but in extreme anger, he stabbed Su Guangwei's left leg again.

The screams were deafening, but Qi Yu remained calm, his bloodshot eyes cold and deep. "Hand over our food, and I will let them go."

Queen, he doesn't want it!

"you……"

The tall and thin man never expected that Qi Yu would be so willing to sacrifice himself. He originally thought that according to the countermeasures discussed with the princess before, after Qi Yu came to Duping County, he would capture him and then inject puppet insects into him to control him, and then there would be a steady supply of food in the future.

That’s right, a few days ago they received a secret tip that there was grain in Huai Village, and they said it was a reward from the gods.

The princess then gathered refugees from all around to rob. The people were unwilling, so she threatened the lives of their families. Finally, more than a thousand people were gathered and went to Huai Village.

They were lucky that day because Qi Yu and the guard Zhao Li were not there, so they successfully stole all the food for the exiles and caused a big disturbance in Huai Village. They also stole food from many people's homes.

Duping County has not yet reached the point of famine, but it is gradually experiencing a shortage of water and food. Moreover, the princess once said that she was demoted to Duping County because of Qi Yu, and this time she is here for revenge.

Anyway, he had Concubine Su as his backer, and he was demoted to an exile, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He didn't expect Qi Yu to be so vicious and so strong even with a lame leg. Not only did he hold the princess hostage, he even refused the antidote!

Just now, if Qi Yu had exchanged the antidote with the princess, he would have released the queen insect after the princess was safe to induce Qi Yu to fall ill, but now he only wanted food. Who knows if they would let the princess go after giving them the food?

"Okay, we'll return the food we looted to you, but you have to let our princess go first."

The man said something to the person behind him, and soon, a doctor carrying a medicine box hurried over.

Qi Yu was not in a hurry. "I, Qi Yu, have said what I have said. I will not go back on my words. I said I would release you if you give me food. I will definitely release you. I want you to return the things you stole, otherwise..."

The dagger in his hand moved to Su Guangwei's jaw, "I'll kill him!"

So what if there is a military camp?

Qi Yu, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, can fight against a hundred people at once. Not to mention the new recruits in the military camp, even the Imperial Guards with outstanding military strength are no problem for him.

Su Guangwei underestimated him!

"Uh-huh."

Su Guangwei, whose jaw had been removed, was mumbling something, then kept nodding his head and pointing at Qi Yu with his chin, as if signaling his own people to do as Qi Yu said.

Seeing this, the tall and thin man had no choice but to order people to load the looted food onto the carriage.

Three days later, a lot of food had been divided up, almost half of it.

Already very good.

"Brother Zhao, take your men back with them and be sure to personally deliver the food back to the place of exile, using fireworks as a signal." Qi Yu said to Zhao Li.

Zhao Li disagreed, "Just let the people below follow you. Brothers are worried about you."

I'm afraid what he is worried about is the puppet insect.

Little did he know that Qi Yu sent him away because of this puppet insect.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhao, I have a way to deal with that thing."

Qi Yu gave Zhao Li a look of affirmation and told him to take his men away first. No one knew what other tricks Su Guangwei had prepared.

He brought so many people from the military camp. If Qi Yu and Zhao Li had not been so skilled, they would have been counterattacked by Su Guangwei long ago. Now, if they wait for his reinforcements, no one would be able to escape.

However, Zhao Li refused to leave no matter what and insisted on standing beside Qi Yu, supporting his body with one arm.

"Okay, since there's a way, then we're not afraid. Why don't we kill this old bastard first? This is just a tooth for a tooth!"

As Zhao Li said this, he snatched the dagger from Qi Yu and was about to stab it into Su Guangwei's chest.

Su Guangwei, who was unable to speak after being disarmed and stabbed twice, was unable to move at all. He stared with wide eyes, spoke incoherently and dodged quickly.

The tall and thin man immediately rushed over and said, "Stop!"

He looked at Zhao Li fiercely, "You are just a small official. Do you know what the crime of murdering the concubine's cousin is? You, are you courting death?"

"If you take away our food, we'll die anyway. We might as well die with a full stomach and have someone to take with us. Do you think I'm afraid?"

Zhao Li didn't care what the man said and lowered his raised hand.
