Nameless told the Grassland King every detail of what had happened on the grassland without missing a single word. The Grassland King was so enraged that he directly overturned the table.
"That useless thing, Shu Yi!" With so many men, he couldn't even keep watch on an injured man. And the letters sent were intercepted again and again. What a waste!
"My lord, there's another thing. That night after Tule Haojia was rescued, our tribe was raided. General Shu Yi didn't care about this at all." 'Nameless' subtly badmouthed Shu Yi to the Grassland King. Who made him the most trusted person of the Grassland King?
Anyway, after tonight, this body would no longer be trusted. It was better to make good use of it while he still could.
The Grassland King didn't show any obvious reaction after hearing this. But 'Nameless', who was standing so close to him, clearly saw that the Grassland King's hand was bleeding.
"My lord, please apply some medicine first." 'Nameless' kindly took out the ointment and gently applied it on the Grassland King's hand. Taking advantage of the Grassland King's inattentiveness while deep in thought, he suddenly took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed at the Grassland King.
He thought it would be a sure hit, but unexpectedly, the Grassland King had been on guard. "You're not Nameless. Who on earth are you?"
Nameless hardly ever showed up in front of others. How did this person know about Nameless' existence?
"What are you talking about, my lord? I'm Nameless." As he said this, 'Nameless' even made the habitual movement he made when killing someone, loosening the muscles of his neck, and launched a fierce attack on the Grassland King.
Their commotion didn't attract anyone, because the Grassland King had given an order when 'Nameless' came that no one was allowed to enter no matter what sounds they heard.
Now it was hard to tell if the Grassland King regretted his decision.
At first, the two were evenly matched in the fight. But gradually, the Grassland King began to run out of energy. Realizing that he had been poisoned, he glared fiercely at 'Nameless'.
"I've treated you well. Why are you doing this?" The Grassland King looked at Nameless in disbelief. He just couldn't figure out the reason for Nameless' betrayal.
"Does this need a reason? Can't I do it just for fun?" As he said this, his hand movements became even faster. He stabbed the Grassland King right in the heart. The Grassland King stared at him in disbelief with wide - open eyes, looked down at the knife in his chest, and then fainted.
'Nameless' took out three small bottles. After filling them with blood, he jumped out of the window and left.
The guards standing not far away wanted to go in and check when they heard the fighting sounds in the room. But thinking of what the king had just said, they stopped in their tracks.
Not long after, the fighting sounds in the room stopped. The guard stood outside the door for a long time and finally sensed something was wrong. He quickly rushed in with his men. When he saw the fallen Grassland King, he knew something bad had happened.
"Quickly, call the doctor!"
The guard felt the Grassland King's carotid artery and was relieved to find a faint pulse. Then he quickly pressed a few acupoints on the Grassland King's chest to stop the bleeding.
When the doctor came, the guard had already cleaned the Grassland King up. But he didn't dare to touch the knife in the heart. This was no ordinary place; it was the heart. One wrong move, and their king would be gone.
The doctor drove all the people out. But as the guard left, he threatened, "If anything happens to our lord, even ten heads of yours won't be enough to chop off."
Humph, you don't even look at where your lord is injured. How dare you threaten me? You're not afraid that I'll let your lord die. A person from the grassland daring to threaten him? He must be out of his mind.
After 'Nameless' returned safely, he handed the three bottles to Lu Yun and looked at Mu Nan proudly.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Yun really didn't expect him to come back safely. She thought he might come back missing an arm or a leg, but unexpectedly, he was intact.
"Yun'er, what should we do with this person?" Mu Nan thought about taking out the bug in his head and then killing him. The more he looked at him, the more unpleasant he felt.
Lu Yun saw through Mu Nan's thoughts at a glance and slapped him on the head. "Don't even think about it. From now on, he'll be under your care. Treat him well." Did he really think it was so easy to get the Gu worm out?
Lu Yun took the three bottles of blood in her hand and went to find Tule Haojia. She still needed a little bit of Tule Haojia's heart - blood.
Jian Yi was extremely excited when he heard that the mission was successful. Soon, his lord would get better.
"You'd better be mentally prepared first. The process of getting the Gu worm out is extremely painful. If one can't bear it, then..." They didn't need her to finish the sentence to understand.
It was a matter of life and death anyway. It was better to take a chance. "Miss Lu, don't worry. I can bear it."
Lu Yun nodded. She had said everything that needed to be said. Looking at the dark medicinal soup in the pot, she started to increase the heat. She didn't dare to leave this medicine for a single step. Lu Yun boiled the medicine for a full seven days before finally getting it ready.
As soon as the medicine was out of the pot, the smell spread half a mile away. Tule Haojia also smelled it. To be honest, the smell... was really unappetizing. It was too stinky.
"Miss Lu Yun, this medicine..." Jian Yi looked at the medicine Lu Yun brought over with a complicated expression. Could this be drunk? He had never smelled such a stinky medicine.
"If you don't trust me, then don't drink it." Lu Yun gave Jian Yi a disdainful look. She had gone through so much trouble to get this antidote, but he still dared to dislike it.
"Don't say that. I'll take it to my lord right away." My lord, good luck to you. Jian Yi silently lit a virtual candle for Tule Haojia.
Tule Haojia didn't hesitate and drank the medicine directly. Soon, his face turned pale. He tightly grasped the position of his heart, with blue veins bulging. He was enduring great pain.
Jian Yi looked at Tule Haojia's condition. Although he had been prepared, he was still a little worried. He wanted to go up and help, but was stopped by Lu Yun.
"It's no use for you to go over now. You'll just be in the way." If Sister Qie were here, maybe there would be a way to help. But Sister Qie had been tinkering with something these days. She had been staying in her room all day long and didn't see anyone.
"You mustn't faint. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain." Lu Yun said to Tule Haojia who was about to lose consciousness.
Tule Haojia was almost unconscious, but after hearing Lu Yun's voice, he gritted his teeth and endured it stubbornly.
"When will it end?" Jian Yi kept wiping the sweat off Tule Haojia's head. If this pain continued, his lord might be tortured to death.
"I'm not sure about that either."
