After Afu activated the Gu worms, blood flowed from her seven orifices, and she collapsed to the ground unconscious.

Just as they were being drawn to the Gu worms, Danzhu seized the opportunity to run into the secret passage, with Qing Tong chasing after her.

Seeing this, Yi Tao turned around and went into the secret passage to chase after Danzhu. Xiao Han, seeing this, ordered one of his guards, Qingsong, to stay behind and take Qingying and Qingyang out, while he and another guard went into the secret passage to chase after them.

The guards had been mostly dealt with, and the rest were injured. Seeing that the boss had escaped, they all ran outside.

At this moment, Qingying and Qingyang, who had been infected by the Gu worm, felt the Gu worm biting wildly all over their bodies, causing them to have splitting headaches and unbearable pain.

Qingsong helped them to the stone gate, which was easy to open from the inside. There was a protruding stone that could be pressed down to open it.

Upon arriving outside, they encountered the guards, and the two of them stepped forward to assist them.

"What happened? Are you injured?" the guard asked, and seeing the two in pain, he quickly helped them up.

Qingsong looked worried: "They've been infected by a Gu worm."

Upon hearing this, both of them looked distressed, seeing their suffering and feeling helpless.

"Why are there more Gu worms? The Gu poison in my body hasn't been resolved yet! And now two more have been killed."

Qingsong said, "Stop talking. One of you will escort them back to the inn, and the other will come in with me."

Inside, there was only the prince, Qing Tong, and another bodyguard. He was worried, not knowing how many men they had or if there were any other ambushes. He wanted to hurry in and catch up to check.

Qingsong often hung out with Qingyang and also knew some lock-picking skills. He then asked Qingyang for details about the specific steps involved.

Although Qingyang was not feeling well, he was still clear-headed and told Qingsong the steps to unlock the door.

The two sneaked back into the casino. It was already midnight, the busiest time of the night, and the casino was packed with people, filled with noise.

The two quietly approached the stone gate, and no one noticed them as they entered, their minds preoccupied with the gambling table and the arena.

When he returned to the room, everyone except the one lying on the floor had run away. He checked Afu's breathing and found she was still alive.

Qingsong brought a rope and tied Afu up tightly. She wasn't dead yet; she had just fainted from blood loss.

He tied the other end of the rope and dragged the maid toward the secret passage.

The guard, Qingshan, was puzzled: "Why are you bringing her along? She's just getting in the way. You can just kill her with one stroke." As he spoke, he drew the sword from his waist, intending to slash at her.

Qingsong quickly stopped him: "Chop, chop, chop! All you know is how to chop! Qingying and Qingyang were poisoned by her. Drag her back and torture her severely until she tells you how to cure the poison."

Qingshan sheathed his sword and scratched his head: "Oh, I see. You should have said so earlier. I almost killed her."

After saying that, he kicked the maid twice, saying, "Serves you right for being naughty."

Qingsong sighed softly: "Use your brain more often when you have nothing to do, instead of just eating pork knuckles all day long."

Over here, Xiao Han and his group wandered around in the secret passage. There were two forks in the road. They followed the trail of Danzhu and wandered around for a long time before finally coming out.

Emerging from the secret passage, one finds oneself in a forest. Qing Tong blocks Dan Zhu's path, and the two engage in combat.

There were many trees, and it was pitch black all around. Occasionally, moonlight would peek out from the clouds, and there were also some twinkling stars.

Yi Tao rushed over and helped Danzhu escape her predicament, and Xiao Han and the other person arrived shortly afterward.

Danzhu was kicked and spat out a mouthful of blood. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, licked it, looked at Xiao Han, and said in an extremely charming voice, "This holy maiden never knew that His Highness Prince Qin was so fond of me and had been pursuing me relentlessly."

"Bullshit! Look at your own character! How could the Prince like a woman like you?" Qing Tong rebuked angrily.

"Who does he like but me! As for the King of Qin, are you satisfied with the gift I gave you the other day?" Danzhu covered her mouth and smiled.

Xiao Han looked at her coldly: "Enough nonsense, hand over the antidote to the Gu poison, and I can make your death easier."

Danzhu laughed disdainfully, "Haha... No rush. I'm curious, Your Highness Qin was poisoned by my specially made aphrodisiac. How did you deal with it? No one in this world has the antidote except me, unless..."

She raised her peach blossom eyes and gave Xiao Han a strange look, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "Your Highness Prince Qin is handsome and mighty, the ideal husband in the hearts of many women. It's a pity you ran away so fast. I originally planned to keep him for myself to enjoy, but in the end, I don't know which girl got him. What a pity, what a pity."

The aphrodisiac that Xiao Han was given last time was administered by Danzhu, and the Gu poison in his body was also given by Danzhu in Southern Shu two years ago.

In the first two months, most soldiers in the army experienced abdominal pain and vomiting. It was eventually discovered that a spy had infiltrated the army and poisoned the water. Although it was discovered in time, only a few people were poisoned. However, several seriously injured soldiers died before they could be treated, which caused considerable panic in the army.

For this, the Emperor issued an edict to punish Xiao Han, ordering him to find out the truth.

Xiao Han has been investigating recently and has discovered that many Miao people have entered the capital. There is definitely more to it than meets the eye. A few Miao people are not to be feared. The real danger is probably the force behind them.

That night, the secret guards reported that the Miao holy maiden had appeared in the outskirts of the capital. The group set off for her, but before they got close, they were discovered by Danzhu's Gu worms without their knowledge, and thus fell into Danzhu's ambush.

"You are insolent and shameless!" With that, Bronze raised his sword and swung it at Danzhu.

With Yi Tao protecting them, another chaotic battle ensued. It was three against two, and they still had the upper hand.

Under the pitch-black night, only the clanging of metal from swords could be heard. Yi Tao's martial arts skills were very high, and Xiao Han was once again entangled in a fight with him.

Before long, Yi Tao was also injured and could not continue fighting. They tried to break away and escape, but the three men kept pressing them.

Xiao Han deals with Yi Tao, while Qing Tong and the Dark Guards work together to deal with Dan Zhu.

Danzhu is a master of Gu poison, and to prevent a repeat of what happened to Qingying and Qingyang, the two of them are very cautious in dealing with her.

In the end, Yi Tao was no match for Xiao Han, who kicked him a great distance away. The kick was very powerful, and Yi Tao fell to the ground, spitting out blood. His ribs were probably broken, and he also had internal injuries.

At the same time, Danzhu was also stabbed and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Qingsong and Qingshan, accompanied by their maid, arrived at the exit.

When Yi Tao saw that more helpers had arrived, he knew he couldn't take the pill away. So he stood up and used his lightness skill to disappear into the night.

Qing Tong wanted to chase after her, but Xiao Han stopped him, saying, "No need to chase her, just tie her up and take her back."

Their target was her; they didn't care about anything else for the time being, as this was not a place to stay for long.

Danzhu looked at the sword at her neck, then glanced in the direction Yi Tao had gone. She angrily slammed her fist on the ground. She had been careless and had fallen into their hands. She glared at Xiao Han resentfully.

When they returned to the inn, it was already past midnight. Qingying and Qingyang were still suffering from the torment of the Gu worms. They curled up on the bed, holding their heads, enduring the pain and trying not to make a sound. Their faces were covered with sweat from the pain, and their backs were also wet.

Seeing their pained expressions, Xiao Han felt a pang of sympathy and asked, "Did you give them painkillers?"

Seeing their distress, Qing Tong felt a pang of sadness himself: "They've tried it, but it didn't have any effect."

Xiao Han looked at the bronze bronze and asked, "Did Danzhu and her maid say anything?"

"The maid lost too much blood and fainted. She didn't wake up even after being splashed with cold water. Danzhu said that the maid was the one who put the poison in her mouth, and only the maid knows how to cure it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han thought for a moment and said, "Find two doctors at dawn to see if they can alleviate their pain. Also, don't let that maid die."

"Yes," Qing Tong replied with mixed feelings. Right now, they could only rely on themselves to get through this.

Staying wouldn't help them, so Xiao Han and the others left, not wanting to see them in pain.

They knew they were skilled in using Gu poison, so before setting off, they all told each other to be careful. Despite their precautions, they were still careless. The maidservant even released the Gu poison at the cost of her own life.

They had been investigating for a long time and finally found Danzhu's whereabouts. Before setting off, they thought that they must capture Danzhu this time, as she should be a breakthrough.

Early in the morning, they found two doctors. After examining the patient, the doctors shook their heads, saying they had never seen this disease before and did not know how to treat it. They gave the patient some painkillers.

However, she did bandage the wounds of the maid Afu, gave her acupuncture, and fed her a blood-nourishing pill.

Aoyama, who was in charge of looking after the maids, pulled the doctor aside and asked, "Why hasn't she woken up yet?"

The doctor replied, "She lost too much blood. I gave her an acupuncture treatment, and she should wake up soon."
