022 The love between master and servant is deep
"All the show girls enter the mass grave, and there are only two futures. One is to become the walking dead and be killed and buried; The other is to become a royal lady and enter the palace as a concubine. Those who are destined to die do not need me to order silence, and those who are destined to be concubines are my sisters-in-law, and I don't need to hide anything. ”
Come to think of it, since the rules of the mass grave draft have lasted for decades. The concubines of all generations have experienced this level, although the storage of the walking corpse is a secret among the people, but it is open in the palace, and Phoenix Nanhua does not need to hide it.
Phoenix Nanhua continued: "As for Wei Shixuan taking Sweeper to participate in the draft, it is not a secret. Even if we hadn't said it, you should have known about it a long time ago, right? ”
This is true, when Shen Yan'er listened to the chit-chat of guests in the restaurant when she was a child, she had heard of the trade of sweeping the mother. While waiting in line to enter the mound, she also illiteracy for Ah Zhen.
After relieving Ah Zhen's doubts, Phoenix Nanhua restored her previous strictness, turned to Yi Xiangxi and said, "The matter has come to this point, we can only try our best to remedy it." I can find a way to hide Wei Shixuan's death for the time being, but at most I can only hide it until the day when the mass grave is reopened nine days later. Only by pressing the real murderer in front of General Wei can he transfer his anger to the murderer. Otherwise, you should know what will happen to you. ”
The last sentence may sound like an understatement, but in fact it contains endless pressure. Yi Xiangxi buried her head deeply, and only replied bluntly with one word: "Yes." ”
Phoenix Nanhua said again: "You are limited to find the real culprit within nine days, this is your last chance to make up for it." If not, if the king does not report it, and General Wei insists on pursuing it, even the king will bear the corresponding charges for this. ”
Although the rule set by the emperor is that the mass grave can only be reopened after ten days, Phoenix Nanhua has made an exception in disregard of the emperor to save Wei Shixuan (but Phoenix Nanhua believes that the imperial brother who also lives under the obscenity of General Wei should be able to understand him), but if General Wei pursues this matter and vents his hatred with him, he can only endure and apologize.
Hearing this, Shen Yan'er, who nodded silently, couldn't help but look at Phoenix Nanhua with admiration. Unexpectedly, he was very righteous and willing to take risks to give Yi Xiangxi time to atone for his sins.
Yi Xiangxi did not live up to the kindness of Phoenix Nanhua, respectfully clenched his fists to receive his life, and responded with the determination to die: "Yi Xiangxi obeys the order, if the real murderer cannot be escorted to the prince within nine days, Yi Xiangxi will apologize." ”
You don't need to be so ruthless, right? Shen Yan'er was frightened by Yi Xiangxi's poisonous oath and shrank slightly. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and it seems that accompanying "General Wei" is more terrible than accompanying a tiger, and he will kill himself if he makes a slight mistake. What is Yi Xiangxi's picture? Is it really rich and dangerous?

In this way, Phoenix Nanhua decided to leave Wei Shixuan in the cellar first, return to the capital with Sima Guo, and pretend that nothing had happened.
The walking corpses erupted near the entrance to the mass grave, the area at the top of the mountain, and then slowly spread underground, eventually eroding the entire mountain. Under the threat of the walking corpses, the still alive show girls will definitely try their best to move to the safer bottom of the mountain, and will not risk their lives to return to the top area with the most walking corpses. So it's safest for Wei Shixuan to stay here.
After Phoenix Nanhua and Sima Guo left. Shen Yan'er and her entourage also began to prepare to move on.
Those show girls who have already walked to the front yesterday will only encounter walking corpses chasing after them at most. All they had to do was run all the way down and get rid of the walking corpses. However, Shen Yan'er's team is different, they are left behind, and they must pass through the core disaster area with the highest concentration of walking corpses, and flee to a place that has not been occupied by walking corpses for the time being, so that they can be safe temporarily.
The task is more difficult and more dangerous. Everyone's expressions were not relaxed. Shen Yan'er didn't dare to hang the blood jade sword on her waist anymore, but took it off and held it in her hand, so that she could draw the sword as quickly as possible to fight back when she encountered danger.
Ah Zhen's weapon was the most unusual, and Kou Xuebing picked a sturdy crossbow for her from the weapon supply box. It's a little heavier, but the strength of the arrow is greater, and it can shoot through the head of the walking corpse from ten meters away, which is more lethal than her own bow and arrow, and it also saves the arm strength to draw the bow, which is very suitable for Ah Zhen, who has no chicken power.
Since the crossbow is so good, why don't you use it yourself? All she had to do was grab a large handful of arrows and stick them in the quiver behind her back.
In this regard, Kou Xuebing's explanation is: "I have a ten-year relationship with Wanwan, and he is my most trusted comrade-in-arms. Don't doubt it, she really named her bow "Bend." The deep feelings can be seen. Shen Yan'er didn't want to say anything more.
In their group, only the archer Kou Xuebing could attack from a distance, and when facing a walking corpse with a hard skull not long after the mutation, an arrow could not penetrate it. With the addition of Ah Zhen, you can not only enhance your long-range offensive power, but also expand the defensive area, and use the power of bows and crossbows to fight and retreat before the walking corpses get close enough to slash with your sword. This is the most suitable safe and effective tactic for their motley squad.
If the walking corpse really approached in front of them, Xiao Hei and Kou Xuebing, who were too busy to take care of themselves, would not be able to protect Shen Yan'er and Ah Zhen, and the weak two of them would die in minutes. The only chance to survive is the exorcism card rewarded by Phoenix Nanhua.
"Ah Zhen." Before leaving, Shen Yan'er pulled Ah Zhen into the corner. She took out the exorcism card, pinched one end with one hand, and pressed both hands at the same time.
Seeing that the precious exorcism card was about to be broken in half, Ah Zhen hurriedly grabbed her hand and exclaimed, "Miss, what are you doing?" ”
"The road ahead is unpredictable, and we are half of us. You listen to me, take it obediently. Shen Yan'er couldn't help but push Ah Zhen away and break the wooden card again.
When she was about to break it, Ah Zhen rushed over and held her hand tightly, and said, "Miss, you must keep the exorcism card for yourself, what if it becomes invalid after it is broken?" Then there is no way to regret it. As he spoke, his voice suddenly became hoarse. Shen Yan'er looked up and saw two lines of hot tears rolling out of Ah Zhen's face, and suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her heart.
"Miss, if you have this heart, I am already satisfied. I will always be by your side, never leave, you take it with yourself is equivalent to take it with me, don't break it. After Ah Zhen cried and said these words, she snatched the wooden card from Shen Yan'er's hand and stuffed it into her belt for her.
Seeing Ah Zhen's resolute appearance, Shen Yan'er didn't feel good in her heart. She endured the sourness in her throat and said strongly: "Then you promise me that you must not leave me, and you will not do anything dangerous." We're going to get out of this hellish place alive together. ”
