Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 546
Sensing that Gu Qi wanted to escape, Gu Lingqing hadn't reacted yet, but one of the men in black who was pressed to the ground by Jia Mingyun and others spit out a small arrow handle from his mouth and shot it straight at Gu Qi's back.

Gu Qi only felt a pain in his back, and frowned, but he didn't feel anything wrong. Now he just wanted to leave this room quickly and go out to give orders.

But unexpectedly, after he took two steps, he felt pain in his chest and fell to his knees on the ground.

While Gu Qi was being recruited, there was actually a man in black shooting a hidden weapon from his mouth towards Gu Lingqing.

At this moment, Gu Lingqing put all her energy on Gu Qi, but really didn't notice this movement.

But at the critical moment, Butler Yan, who was closest to Gu Lingqing, rushed forward swiftly and stood in front of him, and the small arrow hit straight into Butler Yan's chest.

"Speaking butler!"

Before Gu Lingqing could see the movement of the man in black clearly, she saw Butler Yan froze in front of her. Gu Lingqing quickly helped him to sit on the chair next to him, pulled off his clothes, and saw the hole in his chest. At the small arrow handle, after pulling out the sword, I saw that the blood on the arrow was black.

poisonous!

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, Gu Lingqing threw the arrow handle on the ground viciously, stepped forward, and wanted to ask the man in black for an antidote.

But I didn't expect that before Gu Lingqing came forward to ask, the seven men in black tilted their necks and closed their eyes.

Gu Lingqing knelt down frowning, and put her hands under their breaths, only to find that they were all out of breath.

Gu Lingqing grabbed their mouths and pinched their jaws open, only to find that they had bitten through the poison hidden in their mouths.

This time to carry out the task, among the seven of them, two of them shouldered the most important mission. One of them was responsible for killing Gu Lingqing, the other was responsible for killing Gu Qi, and the others were supporting roles.

Just now when the seven of them were put on the ground by Jia Mingyun and others, they had already made considerations in their hearts. Knowing that escape would be death, they exchanged glances and fired the hidden weapon with lightning speed, and then the seven of them bit through it all. Poison in the mouth.

When Gu Lingqing squatted down in front of the man in black, Jia Mingyun had already rushed in front of Butler Yan, took his pulse and carefully checked the wound.

When Gu Lingqing found that the seven men in black were dead and returned to Steward Yan, he saw Jia Mingyun's expression was very ugly.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Jia Mingyun's ugly face, Gu Lingqing had a bad feeling in his heart.

Jia Mingyun shook his head lightly: "The pulse is abnormal, and the appearance of the wound is very similar to the strange poison of the Western Regions, black powder."

"Can't you be saved?"

Now Gu Lingqing doesn't want to know what kind of poison it is, but just wants to know if it can be cured.

I saw Jia Mingyun shook his head lightly: "I have only seen the symptoms and manifestations of this poison in books before, and I have never encountered it, let alone the antidote. Even if there is, it is too late now." .”

Hearing what Jia Mingyun said, Gu Lingqing was almost unsteady.

Looking at Butler Yan, whose hair had already turned white, Gu Lingqing felt very uncomfortable and felt guilty.

Regarding the fact that Butler Yan also followed her into Wangcheng this time, Gu Lingqing had disagreed early in the morning, but she couldn't bear Butler Yan's begging, so she had no choice but to agree. Now Gu Lingqing really regrets it.

Butler Yan spent the first half of his life for his parents and himself for the second half of his life. It can be said that without Butler Yan, there would be no Gu Lingqing now, and Liangcheng would not be his sphere of influence.

"My lord..." Butler Yan's lips had gradually turned black, but there was still a faint smile on his face, "Don't worry about me, I'm quite satisfied with my life."

Yan Butler has been busy working for Gu Lingqing's family all his life. He has never married a wife or had children all his life. He is really alone, and he is the only one.

"Steward Yan..." Seeing Yan Zhixing like this, Gu Lingqing couldn't bear the grief in her heart after all, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing the tears on Gu Lingqing's face, the smile on Butler Yan's face faded a bit: "My lord, a man doesn't cry easily, don't cry, seeing you like this, I have the face to go underground to see the lord and concubine." .”

Seeing Steward Yan's father, Gu Lingqing panicked for a moment, everything seemed so fragile in front of human life.

This feeling of being powerless to see someone she cares about is poisoned, really makes Gu Lingqing feel very sad.

And what he didn't expect was that the speed of the poison was so fast!

Maybe it's because Butler Yan's body is not as good as when he was young in all aspects, so his poison manifested on his body even more quickly. After he finished saying this, he closed his eyes and lost his breath.

"Speaking butler!"

Gu Lingqing saw that Butler Yan had died, her eyes were flushed, she stood in front of him, and bowed deeply.

At the moment, apart from Gu Lingqing, Yan Bei is probably the saddest person in my heart. The others are fine, but as an ally, I am sad to lose a good companion.

But for Yan Bei, Butler Yan meant something different to him.

The two had been together in Liangcheng for so many years, and Yan Bei had already treated Butler Yan as an elder in his family. At this moment, Butler Yan died in front of him, and Yan Bei, who never shed tears easily, also had red eyes. , The tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"Brother..."

Standing in front of Butler Yan, Gu Lingqing was immersed in grief. Suddenly, after hearing someone calling her, she opened her eyes and looked at Gu Qi who was in the corner.

Only then did he suddenly realize that he was going to check on Gu Qi's situation just now, but unexpectedly, the housekeeper Yan stood in front of him and focused all his attention on him.

Seeing Gu Qi lying on the ground at this moment, his lips had turned black, and the symptoms were exactly the same as that of Butler Yan just now, Gu Lingqing was startled and ran towards him.

Gu Lingqing breathed a sigh of relief, ran over and lifted his shoulders, letting him lean on her chest.

Having just experienced the death of Butler Yan, the tears on Gu Lingqing's face were still wet. Seeing Gu Qi like this, he didn't know what to say for a moment, and couldn't even say words of comfort.

"Brother."

I saw Gu Qi narrowing his eyes slightly, looking at the front with blurred eyes, feeling himself lying in Gu Lingqing's arms, with a faint smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.

After seeing the situation of asking for a housekeeper just now, Gu Qi also knew that he was about to leave soon.

"It's not bad to die in my brother's arms."
