Chapter 229: Trickery and Sacrifice
The Eight Heavenly Kings, who carved up the City of Faith, never took the initiative to step out of the City of Faith.
They like to take the most convenient and effective means of management of their territorial jurisdiction, and they will select reliable personnel from time to time in the City of Faith, promote them to generals, and distribute their territories to loyal and reliable generals.
They have only one requirement of the general, and that is to complete the tribute mission.
According to the demands of the Eight Heavenly Kings, and the manner in which tribute was collected within the Eight Heavenly Kings' territories, the generals were like loyal dogs released by their masters, and unlike dogs, they were extremely cruel and unscrupulous, and they had no mercy in order to fulfill the tasks assigned to them by the Heavenly King.
Today, what is about to usher in the town is a general recently selected by King Min Tian, named Red Elephant.
Compared with the guy who levied the previous term, this general is more cruel and ruthless, I heard that he is not only utilitarian, but also has a strong desire for destruction and possessiveness, but everything he sees in the territory, there is absolutely no reason why he can't take it, although the generals are not bold enough to dare to fight the idea of the heavenly king's tribute, but when dealing with civilians who are wearing cheap lives, they will not scruple about it.
On the day when the general received the tribute, the town must be prepared solemnly and hot, in order to tell the respect for the general and the Eight Heavenly Kings to the greatest extent, overnight, the mayor of the town sent someone to clean the town neatly, and the tribute was neatly arranged according to the grade, so that stepping into the small town that was slightly dilapidated due to the scarcity of Dingding, it did not look like entering the dirty slums.
Early the next morning.
The so-called three fires of the new official, the mayor of the town did not want to leave a bad impression on the famous Red Elephant General, very early, he woke up to go door to door, and then put on a not stiff and reluctant smile, standing at the entrance of the town, facing the wind and snow, waiting for the arrival of the Red Elephant General.
On the day of the monthly tribute, there will also be a prophet who is responsible for counting the number of people and sensing magic fluctuations, and those who have magic particles in their bodies, no matter how weak, magicians can always sense each other, and civilians who try to hide and evade the poll tax cannot escape the eyes of the prophets with keen senses!
The black-pressed crowd was divided into two columns, and the cold morning wind blew many people shivering, and no one dared to move to meet the terrifying general, but stood silent, like a sculpture frozen in ice and snow looking into the distance.
Our lord also stood in the crowd, and unlike the stiff and nervous people, his face was flat and there was not the slightest sense of tension.
Beside Wu Wenxu, there was a girl with picturesque eyebrows, this girl leaned naturally on the man's arms, her long black hair exuded a light and pleasant fragrance, and it was clearly the woman who always had a smile on her lips in the mayor's house.
In the small town, including the newly joined Wu Wenxu, there are a total of three hundred and sixty-three people, and the one who stood in the snow to greet the Red Elephant General was three hundred people, and sixty-three people could only stay in the house because of their health or special reasons, and Qin Yaoyao was also among the sixty-three people in order to take care of her aunt who could not take care of herself.
It's a long time to wait.
Especially waiting for the rumored ferocious Red Elephant General, everyone's hearts are full of apprehension and uneasiness.
There is a beauty in his arms, and the lord rarely shows his feelings, he frowned, and his smooth breathing was a little disordered for some reason, as if he couldn't calm his heart.
It's weird, it always feels like something important is missing. ’
The girl in the blue cotton jacket suddenly raised her face curiously, and she felt the man's palm holding her waist become stiff.
"You're fooling me."
The cold four words slowly spit out from the man's mouth, and at this moment, the stiffness was no longer Wu Wenxu's palm, this picturesque girl saw his eyes, her delicate body shook suddenly, and she subconsciously trembled violently like a sieve!
"The mayor of the town said that General Red Elephant may have taken a fancy to you and asked me to pretend to be your man, I want to ask you, General Red Elephant has never been to the town, how did he take a fancy to you?!"
"If you don't say it, I'll kill you."
The hand colder than ice quietly pressed against the girl's throat, falling in the eyes of others, seemingly affectionately pulling out the silk for her, in fact, Wu Wenxu's nails are as sharp as a blade, locking the arteries, and can take a woman's life at any time!
How could a girl have ever seen such a horrific scene?
She wanted to call for help, but in the desperate killing intent exuded by the man, she couldn't even rise to resist, the girl's face was pale, and she collapsed in Wu Wenxu's arms, almost crying in fright.
Wu Wenxu was stunned, and said softly: "Give you three seconds." ”
His nails gradually poked into the girl's skin, and said, "One." ”
"I say, I say!"
The girl shouted with all her might, but the words came out of her mouth, but she whispered softly like a coquette, she was really too scared, how could this man's eyes be more pressing than the wolf's gaze!
"Father said that General Red Elephant is a womanizer, especially love virgin girls, he passed through several territories before, but all the girls with superior appearance, many were captured by General Red Elephant, lucky, after playing, General Red Elephant will send people back, bad luck, directly throw the corpse into the wilderness, so ...... So my father asked me to pretend to be your woman, and I already had a crush on you, so I agreed. ”
'Like to play with the best looking, virgin girl? ’
Wu Wenxu scolded the red elephant angrily in his heart, the turtle grandson, the tumor of the Ice Descendant, is all derived from these perverted things, no, there are still omissions!
Wu Wenxu didn't let go of the girl's meaning, but continued to ask: "Since you want to find a man who is doing a fake show, it's good to find a random one, why do you want to find me alone?" Tell me the truth and don't hide anything. ”
The girl's eyes widened in astonishment, she really couldn't imagine that this man was so difficult, and a few drops of steaming sweat rolled down on the snow-white mantis head, and for a long time, she closed her eyes as if appointed.
I only heard the girl murmuring: "Because the Red Elephant General, if he can't play with the beautiful girl with the body of the virgin in the days of collecting tribute, he will kill people, kill many, many people, although I don't agree with my father's intentions, but ...... For the sake of the town's future, we have to sacrifice the individual. ”
'Oops! ’
Wu Wenxu's complexion changed suddenly.
'The individual who sacrificed, the mayor of the town had already calculated, so he transferred the tiger away from the mountain, so he let himself pretend to be the girl's husband, and the person he wanted to sacrifice was Qin Yaoyao! ’
Wu Wenxu suddenly pushed away the mayor's daughter, and his eyes were full of murderous intent: "Look for death!" ”
At this moment, I suddenly heard the voice of the mayor in front of me: "Everyone pay attention to the queue, the Red Elephant General is here!" ”
