Shuoxue City Lord’s Mansion, Qianxueju, and Study Room.

The fake Chen Ji sat upright behind the desk, looked at Qi Ningyuan, who was kneeling in front of him with his head down, and asked in a low voice: "Where are those four treasure maps?"

Yesterday, Qi Ningyuan made a choice in the dungeon and expected that he would be highly likely to be trapped by the fake Chen Ji. At that time, Qi Ningyuan thought that as long as he was not infected with the Gu, he would become the fake Chen Ji's puppet. Then the first thing that Fake Chen Ji asked him must be where the treasure map of the four families was placed.

Qi Ningyuan imagined yesterday that after being hit by the puppet Gu, he lost his consciousness and could only tell the truth. He would inevitably recognize the little flower at that time, because in fact, he had never obtained the dragon flame flowers and treasure maps of the four families, and he could be given by the little flower.

Yesterday, Qi Ningyuan was a little lucky. Neither Lian Yu nor Jin Liancheng would tell him Xiaohua's identity and background. In this way, even if he was infected with the Gu, he would not betray Xiaohua too much, because Qi Ningyuan himself knew nothing about many things.

The worst case that Qi Ningyuan had ever thought of was to let Chen Ji know the road to Tianyuan Continent on Xianluo Island, and know that the treasure map he wanted was now in Tianyuan Continent, and Qi Ningxin and Lian Yu also ran to Tianyuan Continent.

And this worst case scenario is also the only vitality he can think of for Qi Ningyuan.

Because once the fake Chen Ji learned that the treasure map and Qi Ningxin had arrived in Tianyuan Continent, he would probably send Qi Ning to bring back all the treasure map and Qi Ningxin, because Qi Ningxin would be used by him to deal with Zhen Chen Ji.

And this is the vitality.

Qi Ningyuan thought that if he really turned into a puppet and was sent by the fake Chen Ji to find Xiaohua and Qi Ningxin. After finding them, with the powerful powers of that Xiaohua should be able to control him.

Another thing is that in the Han family in Poyang City, Qi Ningyuan once laid a puppet Gu for Xiaohua's husband, Xiao Xinghan. The puppet Gu was raised by Chen Ji. But afterwards, Qi Ningyuan naturally knew that Xiao Xinghan had not been caught in the pot at all, but was just a show to deceive him.

Another thing is that when Qi Ning'an replaced Qi Ning and went to Jinfang City to steal treasures, Xiaohua once told Qi Ning'an that she knew witch skills and really gave Qi Ning'an a puppet Gu, which was put on Ji Hongyu by Ye Ying, and successfully used Ji Hongyu to get the treasure map of Ji's family and Long Yanhua.

After these two things, Qi Ningyuan was very sure that at least one of the two Xiaohua and her husband was a master of witchcraft.

Therefore, Qi Ningyuan's plan was to wait until he became a puppet and go to Xiaohua to grab the treasure map by fake Chen Ji's order, Xiaohua captured him and then relieve the Gu for him!

The fake Chen Ji said that he gave two choices, but let Zhen Chen Ji die and Qi Ningyuan get the place where the Chen family's treasure map is located. This is an option that Qi Ningyuan completely ruled out from the beginning. Because in this way, Zhen Chen Ji dies, Qi Ningyuan will not be able to get freedom. He can only wait in the dark dungeon for the fake Chen Ji to find Qi Ningxin with his blood, and then grab him and threaten him.

Qi Ningyuan actually never thought that he really wanted to die for his grandfather. It was not that he didn't care about Zhen Chenji, but that he still couldn't reverse the situation after he died, and he didn't want to die. The choice he made was the only glimmer of life he had found for himself after considering all the possibilities and all the bad consequences under the circumstances at that time!

But plans never keep up with changes.

Qi Ningyuan didn't believe that he would die suddenly after being hit by the puppet Gu. The facts proved that he did not die suddenly, but the most unexpected situation happened, as if he had not been hit by the puppet Gu at all.

So, the first problem Qi Ningyuan faced at the moment was that as Qi Ningyuan expected, he asked the location of the four treasure maps at once, but Qi Ningyuan, who had not really become a puppet, naturally had the choice not to tell the truth...

Qi Ningyuan knelt on the ground with his head down. In the flash of lightning, many thoughts flashed through his mind. He spoke before Chen Ji felt suspicious. He replied slowly and respectfully: "Master, those four treasure maps are all in Wax City."

It is worth mentioning that Qi Ningyuan's expression and tone after "being caught in the Gu" were learned from Xiao Xinghan, whom he saw in Poyang City. Although Xiao Xinghan was also pretending at that time, Xiao Xinghan had seen what a real person who had been captured in the Puppet Gu looked like, so as long as Qi Ningyuan was careful now, it would not arouse the suspicion of the fake Chen Ji.

"Oh? Is Qi Ningxin still in Wax City?" Fei Chen Ji looked at Qi Ningyuan and asked.

Qi Ningyuan shook his head: "She and Lian Yu have left secretly."

"Where did you go?" asked Wu Chen Ji.

"I don't know." Qi Ningyuan answered respectfully.

"Why don't you know?" Fu Chen Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.

"To be on the safe side, I will avoid falling into my grandfather's hands and being given a puppet Gu. My grandfather found my sister through me, so I asked Lian Yu to take her sister away, but I didn't ask Lian Yu where she planned to take her sister. It was agreed that when they settled down, someone would be sent back to deliver the letter." Qi Ningyuan said respectfully.

"Haha, you're cautious." Fei Chen Ji sneered, "Then why didn't you stay in Wilson City for the time being, but went to Xingzhe Island?"

"Because I know that Chen Zihuan has been to Lotus City twice, my grandfather might guess that I was in Lotus City and might go in person, so I can't hide it at that time. What I have always been afraid of is my grandfather's puppet Gu, so I secretly left Lotus City and went to Xingzhe Island to seek shelter, and wait for an opportunity to move." Qi Ningyuan said respectfully.

"You left, but you didn't take away the four treasure maps placed in Wax City?" Fu Chen Ji continued.

"Yes, because it is not safe to carry with you. Once something happens, you will soon lose the bargaining chips to turn over." Qi Ningyuan said respectfully.

"What a scheming! It's indeed something you will do." Fei Chen Ji sneered, "Where is the treasure map in Washim City?"

"My grandfather Qi Yuan died in Lotus City. I buried him and put the treasure map in his coffin." Qi Ningyuan replied respectfully.

"You are so cruel to Qi Yuan. You were the ones who killed him at that time?" Fei Chen Ji looked at Qi Ningyuan and asked.

"Yes." Qi Ningyuan replied.

"If Lian Yu and Qi Ningxin deliver a letter to you, where will they be delivered?" asked Wu Chen Ji.

"Send to Yuanyin Temple on Xingzhe Island." Qi Ningyuan said, "It was agreed at that time that if I was not in Wanwu City, I would have to go to Yuanyin Temple."

"Since that's the case..." Fei Chen Ji looked inexplicable, "You go to Lotus City to retrieve the four treasure maps. I will send someone to guard near Xingzhe Island first. If no one comes to deliver the letter, you will get your blood and raise the Gu to find Qi Ningxin."

"Yes." Qi Ningyuan nodded respectfully.

"Get up." Fei Chen Ji looked at Qi Ningyuan and said.

Qi Ningyuan wanted to stand up, but because he was too seriously injured and lost too much blood, the wound was still bleeding, and his body swayed and fell to the ground.

Chen Ji knew witch skills and poison skills, but he was just as good as medical skills. Seeing Qi Ningyuan's weak look now, and with the three blood holes in his chest, he said coldly: "Go back to the dungeon and treat the injury first."

Of course, Chen Ji didn't care about Qi Ningyuan's life, but this was a chess piece he had carefully cultivated for many years. He has always been very easy to use, and he really couldn't bear to give up.

Now that Qi Ningyuan has been hit by the puppet Gu and has learned the whereabouts of the four treasure maps, it will be a matter of time before finding Qi Ningxin. Chen Ji is not in a hurry for the past or two days, thinking that his puppet Qi Ningyuan will recover his injuries first. In addition to finding the treasure map, almost everything can be left to Qi Ningyuan to do next, and he only needs to manipulate it behind the scenes.

The fake Chen Ji brought Qi Ningyuan back to the dungeon, threw a bunch of medicines to Situ Yu, and asked Situ Yu to stop the bleeding and heal Qi Ningyuan. The poison that suppressed internal energy in Qi Ningyuan has not yet been resolved.

Situ Yu looked at Qi Ningyuan with a cold look and frowned and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

Qi Ningyuan said expressionlessly: "Situ Yu, my grandfather's twin brother, was sent away since childhood, abandoned his wife, and killed everyone in the Situ family. He threw his illegitimate son Situ Pingzhi to Shuoxuecheng and left, a bitch who ignored him for decades...."

Situ Yu's expression froze, but he didn't understand witchcraft at all. At this moment, seeing Qi Ningyuan's appearance, he was indeed controlled by someone and had no consciousness of his own. He was just stating the facts. Situ Yu just sounded very harsh.

Situ Yu wanted to take Qi Ningyuan's pulse, but Qi Ningyuan coldly shook him away and said, "Stop the bleeding, apply medicine!"

Situ Yu silently applied medicine to Qi Ningyuan to stop bleeding and did not speak anymore.

Since Qi Ningyuan entered the dungeon again, he had never looked at Zhen Chen Ji. He was thrown down by the fake Chen Ji like a puppet, answering the question raised by Situ Yu, and then staring at a place with dumb eyes.

When Zhen Chenji saw Qi Ningyuan come in, he breathed a sigh of relief, because the situation he was most worried about was that Qi Ningyuan lost his life after being shot in the Gu. Now that he found that Qi Ningyuan is still alive, he thought about living.

But now seeing Qi Ningyuan's walking corpse, Zhen Chenji's heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, and it was so painful that he was almost breathless. He pushed away the messy hair in front of him, looked at Qi Ningyuan with tears in his eyes, and shouted: "Ningyuan!"

When Qi Ningyuan heard the sound, he slowly turned his head, looked at Zhen Chenji, and shouted indifferently: "Grandpa." Then he withdrew his gaze and continued to look ahead. It seemed that the grandfather just said that he knew the relationship between Zhen Chenji and him, but there was no emotion between them...

Yesterday, Qi Ningyuan just briefly told Zhen Chenji about his choice, saying that he would have a way to go out and get real freedom. But in detail, for example, Qi Ningyuan knew other masters of witchcraft. If he was hit by a witch, he could save him, Qi Ningyuan did not tell Zhen Chenji, because he felt that the less things he had let Zhen Chenji know, the safer it would be for Zhen Chenji.

Qi Ningyuan himself did not expect that the puppet Gu would be useless to him, so Zhen Chenji naturally had no way to know.

Situ Yu stopped the bleeding for Qi Ningyuan and bandaged the wound. Qi Ningyuan sat silently in another corner, closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

The next day, the fake Chen Ji came to the dungeon again and called Qi Ningyuan. Qi Ningyuan stood up respectfully and followed him out, but he didn't even look at Zhen Chen Ji.

After returning to Qianxueju, Chen Ji did not send Qi Ningyuan out immediately, but instead let Qi Ningyuan live in a room in Qianxueju. Someone guarded him and asked him to recover from his injuries temporarily.

Late at night, Qi Ningyuan lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and no longer had to pretend to be a puppet. He said at that time that the four treasure maps were in Wax City, and there was a reason.

First, Qi Ningyuan stayed in Wilson City for a while before, which is credible; Second, Wilson City is half a month away from Shuoxue City. Whether Chen Ji sent him to Wilson City or sent someone else to Wilson City, it will take a month to go back and forth, and he can buy more time for himself to think about what to do next. So he can't say that the treasure map was placed in Yuanyin Temple where he went not long ago, or his original Luoying City, because these two places are too close to Shuoxue City. Just like Xingzhe Island, Chen Ji went there by himself, and after three days, he could find that Qi Ningyuan was lying. By then, Qi Ningyuan's injuries have not healed and the poison has not been cured, so it should be a tragedy...

The question Qi Ningyuan is now thinking about is whether it will endanger Zhen Chenji's life if he plans to escape after he gains freedom.

However, the answer to this question is also very clear. No, because Qi Ningyuan refused Zhen Chen Ji to tell him where the treasure map of the Chen family in Shuoxuecheng was located. Now only Zhen Chen Ji knows where the treasure map is. Fake Chen Ji will not kill him, nor will he hang him at the gate of Shuoxuecheng to force Qi Ningyuan to appear, because of course the fake goods dare not let people know that Zhen Chen Ji is still alive.

Thinking of this, Qi Ningyuan felt a little calmer. He thought that in a few days, the fake Chen Ji would not have sent him out when his injury was completely healed. Then it would be the day when he truly regained his freedom!

Ye Ying was only half a day late for Qi Ningyuan to arrive in Shuoxue City. After she sneaked into the city secretly, she soon found the work that Qi Ningyuan had planted in Shuoxue City, because before, Qi Ningyuan asked Ye Ying to be responsible for contacting the work here.

Xi Zuo is also a woman, and his identity is a maid served by Chen Ziling, whose name is Youlan.

Youlan told Ye Ying that Qian Xueju had masters guarding her and she didn't dare to get close. Chen Ji hadn't had Qian Xueju for many days, so she couldn't find out what Qi Ningyuan was doing now.

Ye Ying was anxious, but she had not lost her mind yet, and remembered the advice Jin Liancheng gave her. After arriving in Shuoxue City, she did nothing and watched it. Ye Ying also believed that the fake Chen Ji would not kill Qi Ningyuan. The worst result was to turn Qi Ningyuan into a puppet. After she saw Qi Ningyuan and understood the situation, she decided what to do.

WAV City.

It has been ten days since Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan arrived here. The waves of Wilson City were calm and no one came to cause trouble. The Sword Dragon Guard who came to deliver the letter from Xianluo Island and the "Chen Yun" who came to arrest people from Shuoxue City have not arrived yet.

On this day, Mu Yan asked the servants to come over, who was disguised as Lian Ce, and Mu Lin came soon.

The door of Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan's room was closed. Mu Lin pushed open the door and went in, and there was no one in the room.

Mu Lin coughed twice, without any response. He felt a little strange and was about to wait in the room for a while, thinking that Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan might be coming back soon after going out.

Mu Lin sat down at the table and looked around. This was the new house of Lian Yu and Qi Ningxin. There was a red word "Happy" on the wall, and Lian Yu's piano was placed beside the window. There was a book that had been opened and unfinished on the table. The little bookmark was made by Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan. Mu Lin also had one. The bookmark was in the shape of a leaf, with a very delicate and light appearance, but in fact there was a very powerful hidden weapon hidden inside.

Mu Lin waited for a quarter of an hour, but he didn't see Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan coming back, so he got up and planned to go out.

The accident happened in an instant!

While Mu Lin stood up, the stool he was sitting on moved a moment, and a dense sharp knife suddenly appeared under his feet!

Mu Lin's expression condensed, he flew up and landed on the table! The next moment, the table was split into pieces, and he had lost his place. Just as he was about to fly out, a colorful net was covered with his head and landed on him! He went to pull it, but the net became tighter and tighter. Seeing that he was bound and about to fall on the sharp knives, a black ribbon shot over, entangled him, and pulled him out of the open window!

Mu Lin was wrapped in the net that struggled harder and tighter, and almost couldn't stand on the ground. He frowned and looked at Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan standing in the yard, and asked angrily: "What are you doing?"

Mu Yan smiled slightly: "Brother, this is a new room we have been bored in the past two days. I named it "There is a comeback and no return. Let me experience it first. What do you think?"

Mu Lin was speechless: "Why don't you let me go!"

Mu Yan walked over and reached out and pulled a rope on the net. The net immediately loosened and fell off Mu Lin.

"Whose idea?" Mu Lin asked with a dissatisfied look.

Mu Yan smiled and said, "Of course it was my idea! I thought that sooner or later, someone would come to catch me and make some interesting things to come out and use them at that time."

"I'm not talking about that room, I'm saying that I'm asking me to 'experience' this thing first today. Who's the idea?" Mu Lin asked with a snorted.

Mu Yan pointed at Xiao Xinghan without hesitation: "It's his idea!"

Mu Lin waved his palm and hit Xiao Xinghan. Mu Yan was watching the show next to her very happy. As for the critical situation just now, Mu Yan knew that Mu Lin would not have any accidents, so she deliberately waited for her to rescue her. And her "coming and never returning" room looked good, and she was already "waiting" for the "guests" that would arrive sooner or later...

But it is said that Shuoxuecheng and Qi Ningyuan are already very skilled in pretending to be puppets, but this is also a very mentally consuming thing. It requires people to pay attention to their words and deeds at all times, and they dare not even look at them.
To be continued...
