Chapter 117: This time, the system spoke, and to Emperor Jin Yuan, it sounded like the sound of immo
Nan'an was anxiously waiting for Emperor Yuan of Jin's response in the hall, but as time passed, he still didn't hear any reply.
The uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. He glanced at the people in the hall from time to time and found that they occasionally revealed a puzzling "mysterious smile"... This made Nan'an more panicked...
What on earth is going on with these Southern Dynasties people?
We clearly agreed to make a deal, but now we are silent. What is our plan?
Nan'an felt like he was going crazy. The strange feeling he had at Xu Qiang's house this morning came back to him again.
At this moment, Minister Lin, who was standing aside, was listening to the conversation between Qin Yue and the system, while paying close attention to Nan'an's every move, and was secretly delighted in his heart!
Humph, brat!
Who told you not to confess today?
Now Xiao Fuguan and my sister have already started eating your melon. In a while, I’m afraid you won’t even have the capital to negotiate!
Oh hohoho!
Just as Nan'an fell into extreme anxiety, amid everyone's expectant gazes, the system's voice rang out again.
[Host, the key to restraining the ghost worm lies in the Nanman's poisonous worm.]
Hearing this answer, Qin Yue couldn't help but be shocked again.
I really didn't expect that this seemingly insignificant poisonous insect not only has a lofty status in the Southern Barbarians, but also has such magical effects and is actually the key to restraining those mysterious insects!
Qin Yue had always believed that poisonous insects were evil and dangerous, but now she discovers that they actually have a good side.
The system continued to explain: [The poisonous insects in the southern barbarian land have an innate ability to suppress the ghost insects. As long as you carry the poisonous insects with you, or get a faint scent from them, you can freely travel through the mysterious "fog".]
Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood as if they had just woken up from a dream.
No wonder the southern barbarians could always easily pass through the "fog" and invade the southern dynasty's border at will.
Once the battle situation became unfavorable, they immediately retreated into the "fog", leaving the Southern Dynasty army helpless and able to watch the enemy escape.
Therefore, in every battle with the Southern Barbarians, the Southern Dynasty was always in a passive defensive position and could only defend but not attack!
Eunuch Li seemed to have realized something, and the mystery in his heart was solved.
At the beginning, among the targets he was hunting there happened to be people from the southern barbarians.
Perhaps it was after that incident that he was contaminated with the scent of the poisonous insect, which allowed him to successfully pass through the "fog", go deep into the territory of Nanman, and finally be rescued by Nanli.
Qin Yue: [Sister, so to cross the "fog" we still need the help of the southern barbarians? ]
Emperor Yuan of Jin gently rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand and thought secretly in his heart.
It seems that there is a way to get through the "fog", but it also seems that there is no way. After all, there are no so-called poisonous insects in the territory of the Southern Dynasty!
It seems that the key to successfully crossing the mysterious "fog" lies in the people of the Southern Barbarians.
In this way, the transaction with Nan'an has returned to an equal state again. No wonder this guy dared to bargain with me just now! So this is what he relies on!
However, at this moment, the system's next words gave Emperor Yuan of Jin great hope.
[Host, you don't have to rely entirely on the southern barbarians. ]
Qin Yue asked in surprise: [Oh? Sister, do you mean there is another more convenient method? And this method does not rely on the southern barbarians? ]
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan of Jin immediately straightened his body, and his eyes, which were originally slightly narrowed, suddenly opened wide, his eyes full of anticipation.
He stared at Qin Yue closely, praying silently in his heart, hoping that his sister could give him a surprise again this time!
The system explained: [Host, this does not mean that we do not rely on the southern barbarians at all, but we can cleverly use them to achieve our goals. ]
Qin Yue asked doubtfully: [Use the southern barbarians? Sister, are you saying that we can snatch the poisonous insects from those southern barbarians? ]
[But generally speaking, the Gu worm will only be loyal to one master! Even if we really get the Gu worm, I'm afraid we won't be able to use it! ]
After hearing what Qin Yue said, everyone nodded in agreement.
Indeed, if poisonous insects could be so easily controlled by other countries, wouldn't they have already become a disaster and be seen everywhere?
In fact, whether it was the Southern Dynasty or the five small countries surrounding it, the secret arts they possessed were limited to being studied and practiced by their own people.
However, there is a secret piece of news that is not disclosed - these secret skills can only be inherited and continued by the royal family members of the country, and this is only known to the heirs to the throne of each country.
Nan Jinqi was not the heir to the throne in Emperor Manyuan's mind, so he naturally would not know such secrets; and Prime Minister Su was not a member of the royal family, so he was even more unaware of this.
However, the secret techniques of the Southern Barbarians are quite special, and even ordinary people can raise ordinary poisonous insects.
Although the actual uses of these ordinary poisonous insects are far inferior to those owned by the Southern Barbarian royal family, they still have certain functions.
Of course, most of them only have some relatively weak abilities, such as making yourself sleep better...
And if you can skillfully use ordinary poisonous insects, you can be on par with martial arts masters!
There is such a department in the Dark Jade Organization that specializes in using poisonous insects to take people's lives.
In the country of Nanman, most people are infested with poisonous insects.
Because of this, Prime Minister Su and others mistakenly believed that ordinary people could also raise the poisonous insects of the Southern Barbarian royal family, or even the legendary Gu King.
It was because of this misunderstanding that Prime Minister Su wanted to eradicate the Nanman royal family.
If he knew this news in advance, he would probably have come up with another plan because he knew that the royal poisonous insects could only be raised by the royal family of the Southern Barbarians.
At the very least, he would not wipe out all members of the Nanman royal family.
System: [The Gu King has a skill. Once activated, all the ghost bugs within dozens of kilometers will quickly flee, forming a hollow area with the Gu King as the center! ]
[People inside it will not be affected by the ghost bugs! ]
As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of everyone in the hall suddenly became hot. Isn’t there a person with the Gu King in front of them?
But the next moment, the system's words poured a bucket of cold water on them again.
[However, this skill is activated actively and cannot be activated passively, so the consent of the Gu King Master is required before it can be implemented.]
Qin Yue was also very excited when she heard what the system said before, but in the end, this skill still depends on whether Nan'an is willing to use it.
This is very passive.
Qin Yue: [Sister, this skill sounds great, but even if Nan'an agrees to help use this skill, if we use the skill at that time, we will be able to enter the "fog".]
[But if Brother Nan'an immediately removes that skill after everyone has entered, then won't all these people become meat on the chopping board? Waiting to be dealt with at will after they faint! ]
Everyone: Holy shit! ! What Xiao Fuguan said is very likely to happen! Then this will definitely become Nan'an's group attack skill! Without any effort, a large group of people will be wiped out!
Emperor Yuan of Jin frowned. It seemed that there was no better way. Nan'an held the trump card of the Gu King, which was his greatest bargaining confidence.
Forget it, as long as Nan'an is still in the hands of the Southern Dynasty, we can always get some benefits!
Just when Emperor Jin Yuan was about to agree to Nan'an's conditions, the system's voice came again, and this time, the words the system said sounded like the sound of immortals to Emperor Jin Yuan's ears...
