Chapter 52: The Northern Wilderness
"Lan Qi? What are you doing here? Yun Yao hurriedly ran over and pulled him to hide in the dark. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Reset, defending the city, Northern Expedition, these are our men's affairs, I don't want you to put yourself in danger." Lan Qi was worried that Yun Yao would make those strange decisions, so she deliberately risked her life to break into the barracks and want to take her out of here.
"Yes, these things are indeed things that men should think about in this day and age, but I have decided to stay. Unless, you go back to the Imperial City with me. ”
"Yun Yao, I promise you, as long as I help Lan Shi, I will definitely take you away, whether it is the Imperial City or outside the Saiwai, as long as it is something you like, I will definitely accompany you." Lan Qi held Yun Yao's hand tightly and said excitedly, he had wanted to say these words for a long time, but Yun Yao never refused to give him a chance.
Yun Yao looked at him calmly, even if he didn't answer him, it was enough to make Lan Qi's enthusiasm cool by half.
"Lan Qi, you don't understand me! You have touched and warmed me many times, but you don't know me after all. Lan Qi, thank you, thank you for treating Yao'er so well, but what I Yun Yao decided will not be changed easily, either you follow me back to the imperial city immediately, or you don't stop me from doing things. ”
"Yun Yao!" Lan Qi let go of her palm, she was so stubborn, she was stubborn and had no room for negotiation at all, what made her so stubborn, or was she nothing in his heart at all? Lan Qi looked at Yun Yao, she was so beautiful, as clear as jade, but she just couldn't figure her out. "Yun Yao, no matter what you do, I don't want to interfere with you and hinder you, I just want to do my best to protect you, but this time, I really don't have confidence, I just want to be selfish this time, let you listen to me once, leave the barracks, come back to me, so that I can protect you with my life. I don't want you to slip up the slightest. ”
Yun Yao opened her lips slightly, she didn't know what to say, the man in front of her was not her favorite, he was indeed the one who always moved her, and the one who was most worthy of her love. But she promised the Yin Punishment Division and signed a contract between humans and ghosts, and she couldn't break it. "Lan Qi, we are all commanded, but please have a clear conscience! Take care! ”
Yun Yao resolutely walked back to her camp, leaving Lan Qi alone.
……
Yan Shi came back soon, but looking at her look, she guessed a few points.
"Yan Shi, you've worked hard, how is it?" Yun Yao personally brewed a cup of falling flowers and rain condensing tea for her.
"Yun Yao, I found Shen Yan, but the situation is not good, he and Bai Yingying are both locked up in the forbidden place of the Northern Clan's sacrifice, but they are not together."
"The forbidden land of the Northern Clan? So how can we get in? ”
"It's impossible, that forbidden land can only be opened by the king of the Northern Clan, and other than that, we can't even see that place."
"So, you can't save Shen Yan?"
"Yun Yao, don't take any more risks, your body has already planted a deep yin qi because of the last time you rescued the gluttonous people in the dead city, if you are not careful, you will provoke those unjust souls."
"I can't care so much, I must rescue Shen Yan."
"Yun Yao, don't you want to die? Is it worth it? ”
"I signed a human and ghost contract with the Yin Punishment Division, and Shen Yan is a key, I have to rescue him if it is reasonable."
"Human-ghost contract? You're just crazy! The human and ghost contract is simply an unequal contract, forget it, what to do with this, how do you want to save people, you talk about it, see if I can help you. Yan Shi was angry and admired her courage, she was so desperate for the so-called morality, it was really a happy thing to be her friend, but in the same way, she had to carry everything by herself, which was really distressing.
"Yan Shi, thank you, you have helped me a lot, this time, I still have to go alone, you stay and help me take care of Rainbow Dash!" Yun Yao glanced at the sky outside, and then said, "Time is running out, I'm going to leave quickly." ”
"I know I can't persuade you, and I won't persuade you, but you should always tell me how you want to find that forbidden land, right?"
"Let's talk about blending in with the North Clan!"
"There are only two days left, if you can't rescue Shen Yan, I want you to swear, you must come back alive!"
"I swear!" Yun Yao hugged Yan Shi tightly to say goodbye, and handed over the sleeping Rainbow Dash to her, and then ran towards Brother Qiao's tent.
"Brother Qiao! I want to learn how to draw talismans! Yun Yao saw that Brother Qiao happened to be making rune paper on the bookcase, so she ran over to take a look.
"Wow! By the way, Yao'er, you bring this! Brother Qiao took out the white jade mirror from his arms.
It's okay, multiple magic weapons to defend yourself, and you can have a few more chances of winning! Yun Yao thanked Brother Qiao, and began to learn to draw rune paper seriously.
"Brother Qiao, what do you think of my drawing?" Yun Yao picked up a piece of yellow rune paper, and the lines that the cinnabar flow walked through concealed an aura, but Yun Yao and Brother Qiao didn't pay attention.
"It's not bad, it seems that Yao'er is very talented!"
"Brother Qiao, I heard that the highest grade is golden rune paper, followed by silver, Brother Qiao, can you send me a few high-grade rune papers?"
"Of course, but only the master can draw the golden rune paper in the world, and I can only draw the silver rune paper, which is enough to deal with some demons and monsters. Well, these are all for you, you put them away, don't get dirty water, otherwise it won't work. ”
Yun Yao hurriedly picked up the talisman paper, and said that she was sleepy, so she found an excuse and ran out.
If you want to enter the land of the Northern Clan, the only way is to pretend to be a scholar, don't look at the Northern Clan as a wilderness, but the King of the Northern Clan is a person who loves talents.
Yun Yao put on the costume of a male scholar, and the checkpoints of the Northern Clan did not make it difficult for her, and she was a little kind, not at all like the guards of the imperial city, all of them were fierce, and they were dragged like twenty-five or eighty-thousand.
Yun Yao gradually entered the hinterland of the Northern Clan, which was less than a kilometer away from the palace of the Northern Clan King, and the guard became strict.
Yun Yao walked around the bazaar, where the folk customs were simple, men, women and children were respectful of each other, not at all like the rumors in the Blue Yong Kingdom, saying that the Northern Ru Mao drank blood, and was fierce and unreasonable.
On the contrary, Yun Yao looked at the street vendors, all of which were hand-woven, which was very elegant and exquisite.
At this time, an old couple walked up to Yun Yao and said politely: "Big brother, you are a scholar, right?" Can you help me choose a name for this newborn child, this child has a hard life, he just lost his father, and he has not yet come to this world in the month......"
"Oh, you old woman, what are you talking about, this gentleman, don't laugh."
"It's okay, you're the child's grandparents?" Yun Yao looked at the old couple, like a peasant family, and the child in her arms was indeed a newborn baby.
"Yes! Oh, yes! We don't know how to read, we just want our children to have a good future in the future, but we don't have a bookstore here, and we don't have a few literate people. ”
"I'll look at the kids." Yun Yao pulled away the child's small quilt, this child was born very handsome, with big eyes and a high nose, he must be a handsome guy in the future, "Just call it handsome!" ”
"Yang Shuai! Good name, you can become a big official by listening to the name, good name! Thank you, sir. The child's grandfather hurriedly thanked him, and the grandmother nodded his head and bowed.
Yun Yao smiled and shook her head and walked away.
Suddenly, I felt a headache and fainted.
The child's grandfather carried Yun Yao and the child's grandmother ran to a ruined temple.
There is a trap lock under the bronze statue in the temple, as long as you press it lightly, the trap lock opens, and the bronze statue will move on its own, revealing a secret passage.
The child's grandfather threw Yun Yao into a dark room, and then came to a person dressed as a witch, took the reward, and respectfully withdrew.
When Yun Yao woke up, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were gathered above her head, almost scared to death.
Those who were imprisoned were all dressed as scholars, some had clear eyebrows, some were timid as mice, and some were lustful and savage, Yun Yao leaned against the shady wall and looked at these people in front of him.
"You're a woman?" A man sitting across from him asked.
"Who is a woman?" Yun Yao deliberately asked in a hoarse voice. I thought that this person's eyes were so poisonous, and he could see through it at a glance when he wore it like this.
"You can't fool me!" The man wore a long beard, and his unkempt hair lay lazily against his slightly greasy face.
As soon as the others heard that Yun Yao was a woman, they all gathered over, and Se Mimi rubbed their hands.
"What are you going to do?" Yun Yao stood up suddenly, but scared away a few timid ones, but then they surrounded them again, as if Yun Yao's expression just now had aroused the bestiality of these people.
"What kind of noise, and then I will throw you to feed the wolves." The woman dressed as a witch stood in the shadows, roaring.
The molester immediately huddled in the corner, not daring to make any more noise.
"Let me out!" Yun Yao tugged at the cell door and shouted at the witch.
"If you come in, you can't get out!" The witch said this proudly, then turned around and left, no matter how Ren Yunyao called her, she didn't come over, even if she ran in and scolded Yun Yao, so that Yun Yao could ask her something.
"Don't shout, if you enter here, just wait for death." The bearded man said coldly.
Yun Yao leaned against the cell door, looked at the bearded man, and asked, "Tell me, what kind of place is this?" ”
"You don't even know here, why do you have to dress up as a man and dress like a scholar?"
Yun Yao sat on the ground, did not answer the bearded man's question, touched the ground, and secretly picked at it with her fingernails, and her nervousness eased.
Since it was a genuine land, Yun Yao was naturally not afraid.
But Yun Yao can't escape yet, this place is so close to the palace of the king of the Northern Clan, and it is locked up here by such an organized and disciplined gang, the person who may have instructed this matter is the king of the Northern Clan!
But now that the bloody battle is less than a day and a half away from three days later, he still has to find Shen Yan as soon as possible, and one more minute Shen Yan will be more dangerous.
Just as Yun Yao was thinking twice, four or five soldiers in black robes came into the dungeon.
"Yun Yao?"
"Huh?" Yun Yao couldn't help but agree, secretly scolding herself for being so honest, but it was too late to regret it, the four or five soldiers walked into the dark room, picked up Yun Yao and left.
