Chapter Seventy-One: The Sacrifice of Life

"Every year on the 20th day of the seventh month, it is the most lively day for the people of Mulan, they are like a bunch of fanatical believers, they cheer and jump when they see the living being burned alive! No one has ever questioned whether this method is reasonable, no one cares whether they are cruel or not, as long as it does not happen to them. They are hopeless, they are kind on the outside, but cruel on the inside, they turn a blind eye to the suffering of others and take pleasure in it, but there are still people who think that this rabble can really do something. Qi Qi said mockingly, "When my father left Mulan, he must have seen through their hypocrisy, but he was brutally retaliated. ”

After a pause, Qi Qi's mood calmed down a little: "You don't know yet, do you? ”

"What?" Mo Ziyu's eyes widened, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Qi Muxuan is the young master, since he proposed that you be the candidate for this sacrifice, then it must be you!" Qi Qi smiled lightly, "You are unfortunate to become a victim of their carnival." ”

Mo Ziyu gritted his teeth lightly, stared into Qi Qi's eyes and asked, "This is the purpose of you leaving me in the Hou Mansion?

"Because I'm soft-hearted, I don't want to be like them. Qi Qi lowered his eyes and said, "You go, I won't stop you anymore." It's just that you've been targeted by the people of the Elder Pavilion, and whether you can escape or not depends on your own luck!"

Mo Ziyu's face was cold, and his expression was suspicious, would he be so kind? Or is this a trap?

Qi Qi didn't look at Mo Ziyu again, turned his wheelchair, motioned for his guards to push him away, he walked a few steps, turned his back to Mo Ziyu and said: "You are good, but I think we should see you again!"

Mo Ziyu stood in place, watching his back disappear.

She looked at the flat ground below again, only felt a hairy feeling in her heart, bit her lip lightly, calmed herself down, and said to Qing Ling: "Let's go." ”

"Hmm. Qing Ling nodded, "Don't be afraid, girl, we will protect you." ”

"It's not that I'm afraid. Mo Ziyu sighed softly, "What kind of people are these people like Mulan? Qi Muxuan is really hateful, he actually hurt me like this, what kind of hatred do I have with her! If I have the opportunity, I will definitely make him pay!"

"Girl, let's go. Qing Ling said, "It's not safe here, we have to go to a safer place earlier." ”

Nanchu, the royal palace.

"What?β€”Sacrifice?" Qi Zi stood up suddenly, "What does this mean, you make it clear." ”

"The news from Situ Xingxing. According to him, on the 2th day of July, the remnants of Mulan will sacrifice the living, and this year's sacrifice is made by Miss Jiang, and it was proposed by Qi Muxuan. Hao Ding said, "Miss Jiang has been targeted by them! Miss Jiang is alone, and Qi Muxuan must have set up a net." ”

"Situ is actually with her!This stinky girl, if she is willing to stay by my side, there will be nothing!" Qi Zi gritted his teeth and punched the desk hard, "Now look, I'm going to go in person!"

"Your Majesty, no!" Hao Ding hurriedly stopped, "July 20th is the day of Your Majesty's wedding, if Your Majesty leaves, how should this wedding be good, this is a state affair, not to be joked! Not to mention that this is a marriage between two countries, if something goes wrong, I am afraid that there will be no way to explain it to Western Wei!"

Qi Zi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "This matter is easy to do." That Ninth Princess can't stand the excitement, this can be regarded as me teaching her how to be a person!"

While speaking, Xiao Qi entered the interior and reported: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess asks to see you!"

Mi Zi hooked her lips and said: "Say Cao Cao Cao will arrive! Let her come in, Hao Ding, you go down to prepare first, let's leave at night, if it's late, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up." ”

Hao Ding knew that it would be impossible for His Majesty to change it once he decided, so he had to lower his eyes and retreat to prepare for leaving the palace.

At this time, Qian Yan, the ninth princess of the Western Wei Dynasty, walked in quickly, she was a golden branch and jade leaf, she was born delicate, and her temperament was also a little arrogant.

"Ahem!" Qian Yan coughed twice, and then waited for Mi Zi to get up to greet him.

It's just that Mi Zi still didn't look like she heard it, she stomped her foot, pouted and walked a few steps forward, and called, "Mi Zi." ”

Mi Zi raised her eyes at this time, as if she had just seen her, and said with a little surprise: "Why is the princess here?"

"It's too boring in the palace, you can go out for a walk with me. Qian Yan played with a strand of hair on her shoulder, revealing the shyness of a girl, "I've been here for a few days, and I haven't had a chance to appreciate the customs of Linyuan!"

"You let the palace people accompany you, I'm very busy. Qi Zi said lightly.

"You've been busy for so long, when are you a leader, can't you even spare half a day? You have so many ministers, don't you just let them deal with these things, why do you have to do everything yourself? Or do you want to accompany me at all?" Qian Yan pouted, she is the princess of the Western Wei Dynasty, and Qi Zi is just the king of a weak country, Nan Chu can marry the Western Wei, that is the Western Wei can afford him, shouldn't he hold himself in the palm of his hand? Why is it so salty? She had never been snubbed like this in her life!

"Don't make a fuss. Qi Zi said lightly, "You are the princess of a country, your words and deeds should be in line with your identity as a princess of a big country, don't be like a woman in the countryside, don't know the general situation!"

"What do you mean?" Qian Yan said aggrievedly, "I left my hometown and married here, I am not a political tool, I really want to grow old with you, I am not making trouble, I just hope that before marriage, we can have some time together." ”

"That's where I'm now. Qi Zi said lightly, "Everything is busy, I'm afraid I won't be able to have extra time to accompany you, princess! You should also understand that your future husband is not an ordinary man, and if you can't accept this, our marriage will have big problems, after all, what I need is a queen who can help me with the affairs of the harem, not a little woman who only asks for companionship. ”

Being so humiliated, Qian Yan stomped his feet, bit his lip and said, "Mi Zi, how can I say that I am also a princess, and I am your bride, you are too much!"

"I just want to make some things clear before I get married. Qi Zi said lightly, "This can avoid some other differences." You're from the Western Wei Dynasty, and I don't want to think that you don't even have the ability to understand that!"

"Excessive!" Qian Yan snorted, "I'm not here to make a punching bag for you!"

As she spoke, she ran out.

Later, Xiao Qi came to report, saying that the princess was shouting to go back to Western Wei.

Hearing this, Mi Zi hooked her lips and said softly: "Since the princess wants to go back, then let's send it off." ”

"The princess is just throwing a temper!" Xiao Qi said, "It's good for Your Majesty to persuade her!

"This little princess is too arrogant, if I coax this time, there will be a next time. Qi Zi said lightly, "What I need is an ally, not a lover, at this point, if she dies to me early, it will be good for each other." What does she want, you just have to cooperate with her completely, she goes back without permission, and Xiwei has to come to the door to make amends to me!"

"Oh well. Xiao Qi lowered his eyes and said, "The slave is going to watch, don't let anything happen." ”

Qian Yan didn't expect that Qi Zi really didn't keep her at all, and sent an escort team to escort her back.

Now she is riding a tiger, but the princess's pride is still there, so she simply left, waiting for Mi Zi to kneel in front of her in the future and beg her to go back!

And not long after she left, several fast horses also left Linyuan.

On the 19th of July, the day of the birth sacrifice is getting closer and closer.

Mo Ziyu and Qing Ling rushed to the direction of Northern Xia, and Situ Jiexing was hidden in the dark to protect.

Although she didn't want to go back to Northern Xia, as far as the current situation was concerned, I was afraid that only in Northern Xia, Mulan was the least.

And she knows too many things now, Qi Muxuan shouldn't let her go in that regard.

"Girl, take a break. Qing Ling said, "In two hours, you should be able to return to Northern Xia." ”

"Hmm. Mo Ziyu nodded lightly, the noon sun was too fierce, and the two of them rested in the shade with crimson faces, so that the horses could also eat some grass.

Mo Ziyu took a sip of water, and suddenly she felt that her eyes were dark, she closed her eyes, shook her head gently, and then opened her eyes, and it was still dark in front of her.

She raised her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, but she saw nothing but black.

What's going on? What's wrong with my eyes?

Mo Ziyu's heart shook for a moment, and he hurriedly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he still couldn't see anything.

Qing Ling also noticed Mo Ziyu's current abnormality, and asked worriedly, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Mo Ziyu stared blankly at a certain statement in front of him, and said coldly: "I can't see it." ”

"Can't see?" Qing Ling immediately waved her hand in front of Mo Ziyu's eyes, only to see that she didn't react, "Girl, what the hell is going on?"

"I don't know. Mo Ziyu shook his head gently, "Don't panic, go back to Beixia first to find a place to settle down, and then ask Situ to contact my senior brother, and senior brother will have a way together." ”

"Good. Qing Ling said, "I'll talk about it now when you go back to Northern Xia!"
