Chapter 271: In the Forest
Xin Zi skillfully took out the three silver knives, and then turned to Li Yuan and said, "Do you still have flying knives on you?" ”
Li Yuan nodded in a daze, and with some suddenness, he took out a two-inch wide and palm-long standard flying knife from his waist and handed it to Xin Zi's outstretched hand.
Before he could come back to his senses, Xin Zi had already slashed his arm, and crystal clear purple blood gushed out from the wound cut by the blade.
Because Takemoto, who had drawn the knife before and had a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, let out a low exclamation when he saw this, and struggled to get up to stop Xin Zi.
Xin Zi pressed her down and said calmly: "We are only afraid that we will spend the night in this forest tonight, the environment here is too bad, overgrown with weeds, full of mosquitoes, and I don't know what filth the air is full of, and I don't have a medical kit with me, not even a serious gauze for bandaging, in case your wound is infected, I am afraid that it will be out of control, and even worry about your life." ”
Takemoto no longer insisted when she heard this, after all, compared to Xin Zi, she didn't know anything about medical skills and medical theory, and if her condition deteriorated and dragged the three of them back, she would not forgive herself.
Li Yuan on the side was nervous when he heard this.
"Ah Zi, you have already gone to the Golden Forest? Do they refuse to accept us? ”
Li Yuan has always been resourceful, but he heard the clues from just a few words from her, and guessed the ins and outs of the matter, which still made Xin Zi slightly surprised in his heart.
She pursed her lips and nodded in agreement with him, her eyes darkened.
Xin Zi felt the strangeness of the river mussel forest as soon as she stepped into the river mussel forest after bidding farewell to Takemoto and Li Yuan during the day, and the faint sunlight that penetrated through the cascading red canopies distorted in the air of the forest, like a dancing ghost.
At that time, she was sure that the illusions in the woods were much stronger, if not weakened, than they had been when they had left.
But she gritted her teeth and went forward, thinking that she could persuade the witches left behind in the Golden Forest to let the three of them go before it got dark.
But the moment she stepped into the territory of the witch, she knew she was wrong.
After the moat was opened, Mrs. Liu led her entourage and left. According to his uncle, he boarded the Western Paradise and went to the Western Paradise with a number of nobles among the demons and witches. In other words, those left behind in the Golden Forest are a group of abandoned clansmen.
This probably explains why Xin Zi felt enveloped in a thick resentment from the moment she stepped into the Golden Forest. Even the witches who received her were cold and gloomy.
After Mrs. Liu left, the land left by the witch was handed over to a petty official who was in charge of internal affairs, and judging from the appearance, it had just passed the year of its establishment. Xin Zi had never seen him when he came before, and he didn't know what his name was, looking at him sitting on the dragon chair where Mrs. Liu interrogated her and Ah Brown before, his eyes were faintly uneasy, and his body was a little stiff, obviously very uncomfortable with this position, but when he saw Xin Zi being brought over, he forced to put on a high appearance.
Thinking of the previous Mrs. Liu sitting in the same seat and reclining on the back of the chair, her beautiful face was matched with a lonely and arrogant look, and she was not angry and arrogant, but she only felt that it was a very sharp contrast with the person in front of her, and it seemed that this Lord Liu was now a temporary fabricated fake.
This may be a verification of the saying that there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are the kings, right?
Xin Zi sneered in her heart, but her face was still extremely humble, and she respectfully bowed to the top of the dragon chair.
Lord Liu, who was sitting on a high place, saw this and slightly relieved his defense, and his head, which was originally raised high at an exaggerated angle, was also lowered at this moment, and he bowed slightly in satisfaction at Xin Zi.
Seeing this, Xin Zi felt a little confused in her heart.
It seems that this lord does not have any demon royal blood, so he does not have Mrs. Liu's terrible ability to see through people's minds at a glance. In this way, all the clansmen who have a little bit of kinship with the royal family have already gone with Mrs. Liu, right?
It's no wonder that the adult in front of him behaved so ridiculously in front of him. I'm afraid that in his eyes, he, a demon with half human blood who is despised by Mrs. Liu and Liu Siya, is more qualified to sit on that throne instead of him, right? After all, the half of the witch blood flowing in his body is an out-and-out royal bloodline, and his mother is the eldest daughter of the witch queen. If it weren't for Liu Suxin's closeness to the red-clothed lineage and her insistence on marrying a human being, I am afraid that Mrs. Liu would have passed the throne to Su Xin at the moment of her birth. And even though Su Xin committed the "crime" that Mrs. Liu was unwilling to forgive no matter what, she was still shaken by her uncle's persuasion, and even decided to take herself through the moat......
On this side, Xin Zi's thoughts were flying, but on the other side, Lord Liu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, finally couldn't hold back and took the initiative to ask Xin Zi what she meant.
Only then did Xin Zi come back to his senses and explain the request of the three of them to take advantage of the Tao.
The man on the dragon chair frowned tightly when he heard this, and he muttered for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Do you want me to temporarily eliminate the illusion in the river mussel forest so that the two people outside the forest can come in?" But why should I help you? ”
Xin Zi was speechless about this question, she couldn't offer any favorable conditions in exchange, so she could only say sincerely: "My two companions and I will only borrow your land for one night, to ensure that we will not alarm the flowers and trees here, and we will not cause trouble to the adults." If the adults help us eliminate the illusion of defense, Xin Zi will definitely remember it, and if it is useful to Xin Zi in the future, Xin Zi will definitely do his best. ”
Lord Liu put a lot of Xin Zi up and down, rubbed his chin unconsciously with one hand, and only after a long time did he sneer loudly: "What's the use of asking for your gratitude?" You're not even a serious witch, but just a sinister seed left behind by your unscrupulous mother who betrayed your people and fornicated with humans. Before, Young Master Liu didn't know what kind of confusion he had committed, but he actually brought you and a few other humans into our territory despite the opposition of Madame and Miss, and treated each other as honored guests. You got cheap before, and now you really think you're one of us? Now they are openly intruding into our woods to negotiate terms with us? Do you want me to dispel the illusions outside and let in those filthy and lowly races? It's ridiculous! ”
The man's shrill voice pierced Xin Zi's heart little by little like an ice pick, making her cold from head to toe and cold to her bones.
Her hands clenched, and her body trembled unconsciously.
"You can laugh at me and insult me, but you must not insult my father and mother!"
Xin Zi hated to squeeze out this sentence from between her teeth, and her eyes were full of anger as she stared at the man on the dragon chair. (To be continued.) )
