Bringing the courtyard through [delicate] lady killed like crazy

Chapter 211 Questions

……

"I beg you to show mercy, Your Highness. I beg you to show mercy, Your Highness!" Guo Xun lay on the ground, his body shaking slightly involuntarily. "I am willing to die after completing the handover! Please, Your Highness, spare the entire Guo family!"

Guo Biao and Guo Yi had already knelt on the ground.

Guo Biao was standing behind his second brother, and he didn't know what had just happened. He just felt that the Fourth Prince's attack was a bit inexplicable. But now that his second brother had admitted it, based on his understanding of his second brother, he must have really done something.

He lowered his head, thinking hard, could it be that his second brother had fallen in love with the county lady and had thoughts about her that he shouldn't have?

However, no matter what mistakes his second brother made, "Your Highness and County Lady, please forgive me. An elder brother is like a father. It is my fault that I did not discipline him well enough. I am willing to take all the blame!" Guo Biao confessed his guilt without thinking twice.

In fact, their mother is still alive, but their father died on his fortieth birthday.

For a man who only has a few days left to live, it would be considered valuable if he could die in place of his second brother.

Unlike Guo Biao who was completely confused, Guo Yi knew the reason. He just didn't expect that the fourth prince in the rumors was so perceptive.

Guo Yi knelt on the ground, scratching his head anxiously. When his elder and second brothers rushed to confess their guilt, he took advantage of the opportunity to shout loudly, "Your Highness! We would never do anything to harm the county lady even if we die! Please..."

He wanted to ask His Highness to spare their lives, so that he and his elder brother could fight on the battlefield for His Highness, his second brother could fight in the business world for His Highness, and Ziheng could fight in the officialdom for His Highness...

They were all very useful, it's a pity to see them die.

It must be said that Guo Yi has an inexplicable confidence in what they are good at...

However, before he could finish his words, a pair of hands grabbed his pulse.

Then his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he swallowed in disbelief. He suddenly understood his second brother a little.

Is this really not a living antidote?

Lu Liang glanced at the three people on the ground and did not speak.

Do they think that if they hadn't made a mistake in thinking and hadn't changed their minds in time, they would still be alive and making such noise? !

Lu Liang turned his eyes away coldly, and when his gaze moved to Li Jiaojiao, his expression had changed, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

And this moment.

Li Jiaojiao squatted on the ground, concentrating carefully on conducting experiments on Guo Yi's pulse.

Originally, she had discovered nothing on Guo Xun's body. His situation was exactly the same as Guo Biao's. Both of them were slowly losing vitality, but they couldn't find the reason for the loss.

However, just as Lu Liang suddenly spoke and Guo Xun abruptly pulled his hand back, she seemed to have grasped something.

After a while, she stood up.

He said to the three people who were still kneeling on the ground, "Stand up. Given your age, His Highness doesn't need to do anything. In a few years, everything will be gone. If you want to atone for your sins, you might as well do something practical."

She turned her gaze to Guo Biao and asked curiously, "You don't have much time left. What are you going to do to hide this from the eyes of the world?"

Although she came to the Guo family because of Guo Ziheng, the Guo family said that they would give all their property to her, so how could she let them down?

What's more, although she was taking the pulse before, the other party showed her... greed?

She still noticed something.

Well, it always feels weird.

To be honest, it was a case of a combination of mistakes and I ended up making things worse.

If an ordinary person had his pulse diagnosed by Li Jiaojiao using her special powers, he would only feel as if basking in the spring breeze and feel comfortable, and he would naturally place this comfort on himself.

Commonly known as a filter for a person.

However, the Guo brothers were experiencing a loss of vitality in their bodies, although they usually did not feel it, that was because they had never had the opportunity to experience life.

Now that I suddenly tasted it, it was like a person who was short of oxygen suddenly breathing in oxygen, and naturally I felt it more deeply.

That's why the three of them experienced incredible things one after another, and even Guo Xun and Guo Yi looked at Li Jiaojiao as if they were seeing Tang Monk's flesh.

Li Jiaojiao sat back in her chair quietly, giving the three brothers time to think.

When she took Guo Biao's pulse just now, she had confirmed that he was nearly 40 years old. After contacting Wangque Tower and finding out the information, she estimated that Guo Biao's 40th birthday would be in the next few days.

Li Jiaojiao thought she had to wait for a while, so she sat back in the chair and took the handkerchief handed to her by Lu Liangdi to wipe her hands.

However, before one hand had finished wiping, Guo Xun, who was crawling on the ground, stood up.

He was still kneeling on the ground, facing the direction of Lu Liang and Li Jiaojiao without saying a word. He reached behind his ear and felt around for a while, and a piece of skin as thin as a cicada's wing was peeled off.

Li Jiaojiao paused in wiping her hands and looked at the person in front of her who had transformed herself. This must be the human skin mask in the novel. It was actually real!

Before, Guo Xun was a gentle and ordinary man. Although he was not ugly, he was not outstanding either. This was in line with his status as the second master of the Guo family, but he was not very ostentatious. He would not stand out when walking in the crowd.

However, Guo Xun now has exquisite facial features, fair and smooth skin, and a cinnabar mole at the end of her eye. She is actually a rare and unique beauty...

"The Thousand Faces Master!" Lu Ling looked Guo Xun up and down and understood.

It is said that the "Man of a Thousand Faces" comes and goes without a trace, and that he sells human skin masks depending on his mood.

Now it seems that with the industries spread all over Daqing as a cover, it is easy to explain their comings and goings without a trace.

Guo Xun lowered his eyes, "Yes."

"I am the Thousand Faces Young Master who specializes in making human skin masks. Our plan...if the eldest brother passes away...is to forge a mask using human skin and lie to the outside world that the Guo family has broken the curse. When there is a suitable opportunity, we will tell Ziheng and let him continue to look for a method." Guo Xun's handsome face, with the cinnabar mole at the end of his eye, became extremely gorgeous.

His face was expressionless when he spoke, and he looked a bit like a broken jar, like a fish languishing on the beach.

According to him, it was indeed a good way to hide it from everyone. After all, the Thousand Faces Young Master was right in front of him. He could change the human skin mask every once in a while to make Guo Biao's appearance show signs of aging.

In this case, who would doubt the authenticity of Guo Biao?

However, this is just a delaying tactic. What they probably want is to give Guo Ziheng enough time.

"Are there any new ones? Let me see." Li Jiaojiao was still very curious about this legendary thing. It was a must-have item for traveling, killing, setting fire, and robbing.

You can tell from Lu Liang's expression that even he didn't realize that Guo Xun was wearing a human skin mask before. Otherwise, that black-hearted guy wouldn't have waited until now to make trouble. He would have exposed him as soon as he entered the door.

Lu Liang looked dignified and elegant, as if he was out of touch with the world, with an air of being a descendant of a noble family who looked down on everything.

In fact, he is not like a small person who repeatedly weighs the pros and cons and acts cautiously to maximize his own interests.

Just like the three brothers of the Guo family, in fact, when they handed in the letter, they had already weighed it over and over again, and even when they saw Lu Liang appear, they changed their chips in their hearts.

This is the usual thinking of people struggling at the bottom of society, who will consider maximizing their benefits, just like her.

But Lu Liang is different. Although he suffered a lot in his youth, his dignity is innate, and his extraordinary abilities are his confidence. This allows him to do things without weighing things over and over again and do what he wants.

This is also the freedom and ease that many people seek throughout their lives.

In fact, it is confidence, the confidence to control everything.
