An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

Their faces were so close that they could almost hear each other's breathing. Suzaku was very obedient and allowed Zhao to hold him, hold hands, and sit on his lap.

She rested her head on Zhao Jiu's shoulder, put it close to her ear and asked softly: "What are you thinking about? Can I hear it?"

"It's not a big deal, I'm just thinking about how to get to Beijing." Zhao said honestly, feeling the delicateness in his hands.

"Will there be assassinations on the road ahead?" She raised her head and looked at Zhao Jiu in surprise.

Zhao helped her straighten the messy long hair around her ears and replied firmly: "Yes, I will definitely do it."

"Alas." Zhuque sighed a few times and blamed Liu Zhiyuan: "Old Liu, what he did is not something a human can do."

After laughing a few times in agreement, Zhao didn't say anything more. He gently stroked Suzaku's waterfall-like hair with his fingertips, his thoughts constantly flashing.

Seeing that he didn't say much, Suzaku didn't bother him and stretched out his arms to hug him quietly. In the dim room, the two of them cuddled together, feeling the warmth of each other.

It seemed that the surroundings were completely silent, without any disturbance.

Zhao closed his eyes, silently feeling the softness of water flowing through his fingertips, and stroked Suzaku's long hair from head to waist.

Suddenly, there was a strange feeling in my hand, sharp, stiff, and cold, not as tingling as when I brushed my hair. He moved his hands and frowned unconsciously.

It was at this time that I felt a little touch on my fingertips, like a dull silver needle tapping lightly. Zhao was immediately shocked and unconsciously increased the strength on his hands.

Feeling the strength coming from his waist, Suzaku tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There seems to be something in your hair." Zhao said.

Suzaku said coquettishly: "Impossible! I just washed it before going to bed. There will definitely be no bugs. Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhao comforted him and said, "Maybe the bed in this inn is not clean. Let's light the lamp and I'll look for it for you. If there are bugs in your hair, you won't feel comfortable either."

"Okay." Suzaku nodded.

Soon, a few candles were lit in the room. Suzaku was sitting, and Zhao was right behind her, stroking her hair with both hands to look for bugs.

I stroked it again and found nothing, as if the feeling on my fingertips just now was fake.

"Did you find it?"

"No...how about I hold a candle and take a closer look?" Zhao asked.

He clearly remembered that he had indeed felt the movement of insects on his fingertips just now, but he could not find the insects. There was no evidence and he could not prove it.

After thinking for a moment, Suzaku nodded, "Okay, keep your hands steady, don't make my hair burn!"

"Hahaha, no, no, no, how could a first-grade cultivation hand be unstable? Don't worry!"

After joking, Zhao held the candlestick with his left hand and rubbed Suzaku's long hair with his right hand. Zhuque was worried about his long hair and did not dare to speak so as not to affect Zhao Jiu, while Zhao Jiu concentrated on the action at hand and did not say a word.

There was silence between the two of them, and the only sound in the room was the soft sound of hair rubbing together.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Suzaku became a little impatient and simply urged: "Are you ready? Otherwise, forget it."

But Zhao didn't speak, and kept pushing his fingers toward his ears. It wasn't that he insisted on going his own way, but just now, there was a strange feeling on his fingertips.

If the first time he met, he would still wonder if he was wrong, but the second time he met, no matter how he said it, it would be true!

"Shh, don't talk. I touched it. It's a medium-sized insect."

"Hurry up!" Suzaku said helplessly.

Zhao put two fingers against his ears and slowly probed into the hair. He moved very slowly, not sparing any hair. He stroked the hair one by one. The moment he felt a strange sensation on his fingertips, he suddenly pinched it. , clamp the bug in the hair, and slowly pull out the hair.

He smiled and said, "Sure enough, there are bugs. Now, why don't we catch them..."

Seeing the black bug still struggling between his two fingers, his voice stopped suddenly and the expression on his face was replaced by surprise!

Without him, he knows this bug!

Not hearing what he continued to say for a long time, Suzaku became anxious and turned around and said: "Where is it? Where is that bug? Show me!"

As she said that, she reached out and grabbed Zhao Jiu's hand to see what the bugs in her hair looked like. But as soon as he reached out halfway, Zhao raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't move. Go and bring more candles and a basin of water. Go quickly!"

Although she didn't know what Zhao wanted to do, she still obeyed and obeyed. First she brought a basin of hot water and put it on the table. Then she hurriedly brought seven or eight candles.

With a slight movement of his fingertips, Zhao flicked the insects between his fingers into the basin. Zhao held two candles and leaned over to look.

The bugs in hot water have pointed heads, round bodies, six beardless legs, and are completely black. They are only the size of a grain of rice. You can't find them if you don't look carefully.

Looking at the black bug rolling on the water, Zhao couldn't help but exclaimed: "It really is it!"

This was the second time he encountered this kind of Gu. The last time he encountered it was when he left the capital and went to Jiangnan to take up the post of Imperial Envoy. The killer relied on this little Gu to follow him and assassinate him several times.

Therefore, he was deeply impressed by this Gu insect.

"What is it? Do you know this bug?" Suzaku asked curiously.

"Of course I know you. I almost died at the hands of this little bug. Can you not know me?"

Suzaku was startled, his eyes widened unconsciously, and he sighed with lingering fear: "Fortunately you found it, otherwise the consequences would be..."

She didn't dare to say the next word "death", but her body was very conscious and she quickly took two steps back.

Seeing this, Zhao curled his lips and smiled, pulled her in and comforted her softly: "I'm wrong! This kind of poisonous bug is not harmful, but it can release a special smell. The female bug can find it based on the smell."

"That's it." Suzaku breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao just stared at the Gu worms and whispered: "Go and call them both in. I suspect we both have them."

After that, he didn't wait, raised his hand to pull out the hairpin, sat on the chair and fumbled with his hair. As expected, I also have one in my hair.

He threw the Gu insect into the basin and was tying his hair when Bai Hu and Liu Zhiyuan walked in one after another.

After telling them what happened, they looked at each other in surprise. The next step is to look for bugs in the hair. White Tiger found one in the hair and Liu Zhiyuan found four in the hair.

Looking at the Gu insects floating on the water, the two of them were even more surprised. Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Can we determine our location just by relying on these little bugs?"

Zhao Jiu naturally didn't explain much, just chuckled and said: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world."

"What to do next?" Suzaku asked.

Looking around, Zhao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Now he finally understood why the assassination the day before yesterday was more like harassment. It turned out to be just a test.

Since the process is the same for everyone, it’s easy to handle!

He lowered his brows and said from the passage: "We can't live here anymore, we have to find another place."

"Let's go later."
