The newlyweds were replaced with new wives, and the medical concubine entered the palace and killed

At noon the next day, Yunjin came to report that the man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks was found in a casino.

"Where are the people now?" Gu Lingyue asked.

"I took him to the dark cell."

"Go and have a look."

When Gu Lingyue arrived, two secret guards were interrogating the man, who kept begging for mercy.

Seeing Gu Lingyue coming in, the two secret guards stopped beating the man and saluted, "Princess!"

The man had been beaten with wounds all over his body. When he heard the two people calling him "Princess", he raised his head with difficulty and looked at Gu Lingyue. He didn't recognize Gu Lingyue at all, but since she was related to the Wei family, he guessed that she was Princess Jing.

So he shouted, "Princess Jing, please, forgive me. I really didn't kill Wei. I was wrongly accused."

Gu Lingyue ignored him and looked at the two secret guards and asked, "How is it? Did he say anything?"

The two secret guards shook their heads. "This guy is very stubborn. He keeps saying that he was wronged, but he refuses to explain what he was doing on the night of Wei's death."

"Princess Jing, I really didn't kill Wei.

Ever since that day when the two female warriors had their genitals taken away from me, I went to her once to ask for money, but she turned her back on me and had me kicked out. I haven't looked for her since then."

The man looked relieved when he said this.

Fortunately, I didn’t go, otherwise I would be the one who died.

Although this person said so, Gu Lingyue, to be on the safe side, took out a pill from the space under the cover of her sleeve and handed it to one of the secret guards.

"Give him this to eat."

"Yes."

The secret guard took the medicine and walked towards the man.

"What kind of medicine is that? Is it poison?" The man was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy: "Everything I said is true. I didn't kill that woman. Don't kill me! Don't kill..."

Before he could say anything else, the secret guard had already stuffed the pill into his mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth, and soon the man's mind was in a state of confusion.

Gu Lingyue walked up to the man and asked softly, "What's your name?"

"Wuhan University." said the man.

"Did you kill Wei?"

"No."

After hearing this, Gu Lingyue was certain that he had nothing to do with Wei's death, but why didn't he tell her what he was doing on the day Wei died?

Yun Jin and the two secret guards were all surprised. Their princess actually had such medicine. If so, they could just feed the prisoners a pill when interrogating them in the future, and they would know everything.

At this time, Gu Lingyue asked again: "What were you doing two days ago?"

When Wu Da heard this order, his face changed and fear and pain appeared in his eyes.

"What were you doing that day?" Gu Lingyue repeated it with a stronger tone.

"I was injured, so I went to ask Wei for money. She refused, so I thought of looking for it in the cemetery..." At this point, Wu Da's expression became nervous, sweat dripping from his forehead, and his body began to tremble. He shouted, "The corpses are alive. So many dead people have crawled out of the ground..."

Everyone looked incredulous after hearing this, but they didn't dare to speak out for fear of disturbing Gu Lingyue's questioning.

Gu Lingyue said solemnly, "You saw a corpse crawling out of the ground in that cemetery."

Wu Da did not answer her again, but kept saying, "They are out, they are all alive..." His body was shaking even more violently.

Finally, his body convulsed and foam came out of his mouth.

"Princess..." Yun Jin asked, "What happened to him?"

"Because of fear, his mentality collapsed."

Gu Lingyue looked at Wu Da and shook her head. This man was useless and would be a fool in the future. But, was it really as he said?

Thinking of this, Gu Lingyue turned around and looked at Yun Jin and the two secret guards, "Have you heard of anything unusual recently?"

The three of them shook their heads. "Princess, are you saying what he said is true?" A secret guard asked in surprise, "How could it be possible? How could a corpse crawl out of the grave on its own?"

Gu Lingyue said with a heavy heart: "If it is true, then it is a corpse Gu."

In modern times, she has studied Gu poison and has a relatively good understanding of it.

"Ah?" The three of them were confused.

"There's a kind of Gu called the 'corpse Gu'. It feeds on corpses and, at the behest of the Gu caster, transforms them into the walking dead."

"..."

After hearing this, the three of them turned pale. There was such a poison, it was too terrible.

Now I don’t know if things are what she thinks, so the most important thing now is to find out what is going on?

She couldn't tell Emperor Tianqi at this moment. If it wasn't her, she would be guilty of deceiving the emperor. But the people from Prince Jing's Mansion alone wouldn't be enough, so she had to tell her grandfather.

So, Gu Lingyue turned around and walked outside, and told the two secret guards: "Throw him out."

He was not a good person to begin with. Throwing him out would save the people in Prince Jing's Mansion from getting their hands dirty. Just let him fend for himself.

Now everyone in Prince Jing’s Mansion knows that their princess is the favorite of their prince. Coupled with Long Shang’s instructions, Gu Lingyue is able to command Long Shang’s men with ease.

After she came out of the secret prison, she sent several secret guards to several mass graves in the capital to investigate the news. Then she asked Yun Jin to tell Liu Fuyin what Wu Da said, and she took Yun Shu and Qiu Tong to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Although Tang Zhenhong's disease has not been completely eradicated, he can move freely and can even perform a set of martial arts from time to time.

At this time, he was practicing martial arts in the yard when he saw Gu Lingyue and her maid walking towards him hurriedly.

Tang Zhenhong stopped what he was doing, looked at Gu Lingyue who was walking over and said with a smile: "Girl Yue is here!"

"Yeah." Gu Lingyue said with a smile, "How are you feeling recently?"

Ever since the emperor told her not to go out until she finished copying the Buddhist scriptures, she hasn't been to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. Usually, it was her mother who came back to bring her grandfather some medicine, yogurt, or fruits.

Hearing Gu Lingyue's question, Tang Zhenhong laughed and said, "Grandpa never dared to think that there would be a day when he could stand up again..."

He kicked his legs twice as he spoke, "Now I feel like I can go into battle and kill the enemy again!"

Seeing the old man happy, Gu Lingyue was also very happy, but she still reminded him, "Grandpa, your body is still recuperating. It's okay to move around a little, but it's better not to do strenuous exercise."

"Okay, Grandpa will listen to Yue'er in everything." Tang Zhenhong obeyed his granddaughter's words.

The grandfather and grandson sat down, and Gu Lingyue told Tang Zhenhong what she had heard and her suspicions. After Tang Zhenhong was surprised, his face became heavy.

His Tang army guarded the intersection of Tianqi, Ziteng and Xishu, and often had friction with the Xishu army, and even fought several major battles. If Xishu really refined this kind of poison, it would be too terrible. After all, the thing that is most lacking on the battlefield is the dead.

"If there really is such a poison, Yue girl, can you solve it?" Tang Zhenhong looked at Gu Lingyue worriedly.

Gu Lingyue shook her head and frowned, saying, "There's no cure for it right now. I've only read about this kind of poison in books, but I haven't actually seen it myself. I can only say for sure after I see it."

"Alright then. Grandpa will have your third brother called back now. Have him investigate this matter and, if possible, bring back a...dead man."

"I have asked people from the palace to investigate. But if this is true, will Xishu use such methods to deal with our army?" Gu Lingyue was also worried.

Her uncle's army is also there, and Long Shang is now in Yizhou, which is directly facing the border of Western Shu.

What Gu Lingyue didn't know was that King Xiang and Western Shu had joined forces. The people of Western Shu did not send troops to Yizhou at all, but instead dispatched troops to Youzhou. Moreover, Long Shang was now in Youzhou and had already faced these living dead.

"Master, what is that?"

Yun Hao looked at the Western Shu army in the distance and saw it stopped a thousand feet away from their city wall. Then, a thousand people in different clothes with empty eyes and stiff bodies staggered towards their troops.

When they were not far from their army, they attacked their army. After their men thrust their spears into the enemy's bodies, they did not stop the enemy's advance, but instead grabbed their men and bit them.

"Why can't those people be killed?" Gu Lingyue's uncle Tang Minghan also exclaimed.

The first battle today was fought by his capable generals. The goal was to win the first battle to boost the morale of their soldiers. However, those people from Western Shu could not be killed, which made it difficult.

Long Shang's face was gloomy, and I wonder what he was thinking?

"Master! Master!" Yun Hao shouted anxiously, "Why are our people killing their own people?"

"To be precise, it's our dead." Tang Minghan added angrily as he looked at the man who had just been bitten to death by the enemy and stood up again.

What the hell are these people from Western Shu doing? Where did they get so many monsters?

At this time, many of Apocalypse's soldiers had been bitten to death by the zombies. Those soldiers who were bitten to death were lying on the ground in the previous second, and became enemies in the next second and began to attack their comrades around them.

At the beginning, Apocalypse's soldiers still respected the corpses of their comrades and did not point their spears at their own corpses. In the end, when they saw that they could not bear it anymore, they also began to stab their comrades' corpses with their spears. Some soldiers even dropped their weapons after being bitten and bit the zombies that were rushing towards them.

Seeing this, Long Shang drew his sword and said to Tang Minghan, "Open the city gate and withdraw the troops." Then he flew down. Yun Hao also quickly drew his weapon and followed.

Tang Minghan ordered people to open the city gates, and then shouted to the Apocalypse soldiers below the city: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Long Shang and Yun Hao rushed into the living dead and began to assassinate them. Upon hearing their general's order, Tianqi's soldiers retreated towards the city. Long Shang and Yun Hao were the last ones to leave. When Prince Kou Dan of Western Shu saw that Tianqi's troops were about to retreat, he quickly ordered his own troops to attack.

As soon as Long Shang and Yun Hao knocked people down, the zombies stood up again. Even after their heads were chopped off, they still moved.

There was no other way, Long Shang and Yun Hao had to chop off the limbs of the zombies before they stopped moving.

Long Shang and Yun Hao no longer differentiated between Western Shu people and Apocalypse soldiers. They chopped off the heads and limbs of anyone who had become a living dead and attacked them.

But if they were killed like this, their physical strength would not be able to hold out for long, not to mention that the troops of Western Shu were about to rush over. Fortunately, at this time, all the soldiers of Tianqi had retreated back to the city and the city gates were closed.

Tang Minghan shouted from the city wall: "Prince! Retreat!"

Long Shang and Yun Hao stopped fighting and flew towards the city wall.

Seeing that Tianqi's troops had retreated back to the city and Long Shang was also about to return to the city, Kou Dan hurriedly ordered the archers to shoot.

Long Shang and Yun Hao could no longer fly onto the city wall, so they had to land, turn around, and use their swords to block the enemy's arrows and the zombies chasing them while retreating. Tang Minghan also ordered Apocalypse's soldiers to shoot torches at the zombies below, and lowered the ropes to allow Long Shang and Yun Hao to climb onto the city wall.

"Prince! Guard Hao! Hurry! Hurry up and get on the city wall." Tang Minghan shouted on the city wall.

The rockets shot by the soldiers on the city wall gave them a chance to catch their breath. Long Shang and Yun Hao quickly grabbed the ropes and climbed up.

At this moment, a sharp arrow hit Yun Hao's shoulder blade directly, causing his arm to lose strength and he fell from mid-air.

Long Shang quickly threw away his sword, kicked the city wall with his foot, swung over, and stretched out the hand that had just grabbed the sword to grab Yun Hao's clothes.

Yun Hao thought he was going to die this time, but he didn't expect his master to hold him back.

"Master!" Yun Hao looked up at Long Shang, his eyes filled with relief at surviving the disaster.

Long Shang glared at him and said, "If you don't grab the rope and come up, you'll become their dinner!"

Yun Hao glanced down upon hearing this. Except for the zombies on fire, the others were all trying their best to reach upwards from below them. Some were even climbing up the city wall on top of each other, almost reaching his ankles.

Yun Hao shuddered, quickly grabbed the rope, and climbed up quickly with Long Shang.

Seeing that Long Shang had already climbed onto the city wall, Kou Dan knew that there was no chance to kill Long Shang, so he ordered his troops to retreat.

"Your Highness, aren't we going to attack the city?" Kou Dan's deputy general asked unwillingly while looking at Long Shang and others on the city wall.

Kou Dan snorted coldly, "Do you think the Tang army is so easy to defeat? Not to mention there's Long Shang here.

If it weren't for these treasures from the Imperial Master, even with an army of 300,000, we wouldn't have been able to capture Youzhou."

The deputy general was very dissatisfied, but the commander-in-chief this time was the prince, so he had no choice but to write a letter to the second prince when he returned, telling him the situation here and letting him make the decision.

However, he still asked angrily, "So, according to the prince, should we just wait and see?"

Kou Dan said conceitedly, "Why not? The Imperial Master has already arrived in Tianqi. As long as we capture the capital of Tianqi, Youzhou will be deprived of its food and grass supplies and will fall without a fight."

Upon hearing this, the deputy general quickly complimented him, "The prince is wise."

But I was thinking in my heart, should I let the second prince come as well? The crown prince can't get all the credit.

And at this time in Youzhou City.

The arrow in Yun Hao's body had been pulled out, but he didn't know when he was bitten on the leg. He didn't feel any pain at all, and the area around the wound was black and hard, like stone.

The military doctor looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what the poison was. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"General, this gentleman's injury...this...I have never seen it before..." The military doctor looked at Tang Minghan with a bitter face and said.

"Is there no way at all?" Tang Minghan asked irritably.

Long Shang's face also turned cold.

At this time, Yun Hao's eyes had become a little straight and his body began to become a little stiff.

"Pearl...zi!" Yun Hao's tongue was a little stiff even when he spoke.

He became scared.

He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of living a life worse than death.

He was afraid that he would become like the monsters outside the city.
