Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 184 Breakthrough Round (9)

"It'll be ready soon." Little Li squeezed the juice from the unknown plant he had just collected and handed it to the rabbit meat.

"What is this?" Gu Shijiu's rabbit meat smelled even better.

"I don't know what it's called, but it's probably some kind of spice. I used to see hunters roasting meat with it."

Little Li handed her a golden-brown rabbit leg and gave the other leg to Consort Cao.

Cao Xuan found some wild fruit in the woods and shared it with Xiao Li, while Gu Shijiu didn't eat it because he thought it was too sour.

The emperor originally thought that the other rabbit leg should be his as well.

Unexpectedly, after the three of them finished dividing the whole rabbit, he didn't even get a single hair.

Not to mention rabbit fur, he wasn't even left with those few sour, ugly wild fruits.

He even lined his outer robe with huge leaves, wrapped up the remaining rabbit meat, and took it with him!

"You—you are utterly rebellious!" The emperor was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but the rumbling of his stomach from hunger diminished his majesty.

Consort Cao rolled her eyes: "We dared to kidnap the emperor, and you only realize now that we've committed treason?"

"What exactly do you want?" The emperor was cold and hungry, and his head was spinning. "The court will soon find out you're here."

Gu Shijiu hadn't really made any plans, but after hearing what Consort Cao said, a sudden idea struck him: "Why don't we start a rebellion too?"

Emperor: What kind of lunatic is this?

Consort Cao was also quite shocked: "We have no weapons, no manpower, and no organization—"

Gu Shijiu waved his hand magnanimously: "Once I find someone, he will have the organization set up."

After all, I'm very familiar with this route; I've done it several times before. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?

"Where is this person now?" Consort Cao felt something was amiss.

Yao San Niang just appeared, so could she have known the rebels before entering the palace?

"I don't know yet, but it's okay, it will appear eventually." Gu Shijiu judged based on past experience.

"Ah, this—" Consort Cao roared inwardly, "Does this have to be so casual?"

The emperor let out a sneer.

Little Li offered a suggestion: "I think we should find a bandit stronghold and take it over first."

With Third Sister's strength, she should be able to hold her own...

Gu Shijiu was just worried about not having anyone to give her advice, and upon hearing this, she nodded repeatedly: "That's a good idea. Where is the biggest bandit stronghold in the country right now?"

Neither Consort Cao nor Little Li knew about this.

While they were in the palace, they would occasionally overhear snippets of news about rebellions, but no one knew exactly where they were taking place.

However, theoretically—

Cao Xuanshi said, "We should head west, where there are many mountainous areas that are easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Once bandits and the like go into the mountains, it's very difficult for outsiders to find them.

The imperial army needed to guard the frontier and would not be mobilized easily, so local troops were the only option.

Those armies, armed and self-reliant, would leave some survivors even when suppressing bandits, lest they become useless themselves after the bandits were gone.

The emperor gave Consort Cao a proper look once again.

While Xiao Li Zi and Gu Shi Jiu were clearing the way ahead, he whispered something in Cao Xuan Shi's ear.

"What do you do at home? With such talent, why do you hang out with a fool and a eunuch?"

If you abandon darkness and embrace the light, I will not blame you, and I will certainly make you a concubine in the future.”

"Third Sister!" Consort Cao shouted, "That dog emperor is trying to escape again."

Gu Shijiu looked the emperor up and down for a long time, then suddenly remembered some old stories.

"I've seen that if a male cat has been spayed or neutered, it won't try to run away all the time."

Is his restlessness because of this?

Consort Cao agreed: "That makes sense."

Leonardo DiCaprio had never heard of such absurd claims; he had never seen anyone keep a cat at home.

It is said that it was a pet belonging to a wealthy family.

Their country cats are out catching snakes, mice, and birds all day long, how could they possibly be locked up?

The emperor was shocked: "Are you all out of your minds?"

Gu Shijiu said matter-of-factly, "This is what you owe us."

Yao San Niang is already dead, Cao Xuan Shi suffered this kind of abuse, and Xiao Li Zi even more so.

She didn't kill the emperor; she just castrated him. At most, she'd collect some compensation.

"I did not do any of these things," the emperor argued.

Gu Shijiu nudged Cao Xuanshi with his elbow: "What did that Bo Ren guy say again?"

Consort Cao: This illiterate man...

"I did not kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

"Yes, that's it." Gu Shijiu praised, "You're really cultured."

"Heh, you only got into a second-tier university." Consort Cao muttered to herself, "Could it be that your education level is too low?"

Sure enough, a second-tier university was an unattainable dream for Gu Shijiu: "I only went up to junior high school."

"Your family won't let you study?" Cao Xuanshi thought that she didn't seem like someone who had been mistreated growing up.

"I didn't get into high school..." Gu Shijiu said somewhat embarrassedly.

“You can also go to a vocational school,” Consort Cao casually remarked.

"I'm not in good health and I'm not good at manual labor, so I can't do those kinds of jobs." Gu Shijiu felt even more ashamed.

Okay, Consort Cao suddenly realized: It was supposed to be Yao San Niang—

Who are these people?

The Emperor and Little Li who couldn't understand: What's going on between these two?

Fortunately, that's all in the past.

Gu Shijiu is in excellent health now; castrating the emperor is no big problem.

When the emperor was lying sprawled out, his hands and feet bound by his own clothes and fixed between several trees, he realized that the palace maid was serious.

Consort Cao and Little Li were both stunned; they had originally thought Gu Shijiu was just talking.

"Little Li, do you know how to make this?" Gu Shijiu toyed with the dagger he had taken from the emperor.

The dagger is a good thing; although I've been skinning and butchering animals these past few days, it's still very sharp.

Little Li knew the process, but now they only had one knife, and they couldn't do anything else besides cutting.

Consort Cao felt a little nauseous: "Third Sister, you can do this too?"

Gu Shijiu said confidently, "I studied medicine."

"What did you study?" Didn't you just graduate from junior high school? How come you can study medicine?

Gu Shijiu counted on her fingers: "The vital organs of the human body, the reactions of various organs after being shot, the location of bones, muscles and joints, first aid measures, the use of various antibiotics, and so on."

"You call this studying medicine?!" This is clearly learning how to kill people.

Consort Cao was somewhat confused: This didn't seem like they were under the same blue sky as her.

“Otherwise, my teacher is very capable.” Gu Shijiu thought of the private clinic in the alley.

"He's a doctor? Which hospital is he from?" Consort Cao was skeptical.

Gu Shijiu shook his head: "He's not in the hospital; he's treating his brothers in the gang."

I knew it! Consort Cao shed a tear of sympathy for the emperor.
