Chapter 364: Sacrifice

Before he went out, the city lord appeared with someone, glanced at everyone, and looked at Shangguan Juan with a loving smile, "Where are you going?" ”

"The city lord is hospitality, I am grateful, but there is something to deal with in a hurry, and I hope the city lord will let me go." Shangguan Juan looked at the city lord squarely, but he was a little anxious in his heart.

The city lord smiled with relief, "Wan'er is afraid that she has misunderstood me." I am good brothers with Master Hou, although Wan'er is relieved to live first, what are the plans to wait a few days. ”

"Brother?" Shangguan Juan was inexplicable.

The city lord's gaze softened, and fell on Shangguan Juan's jade pendant, "This jade pendant was given to you by your father?" Yes, that's right, you are here, how can I have a reason for not being inconsiderate, if this is the case, Hou Ye will definitely beat me up. ”

Shangguan Juan was stunned again, but the city lord coaxed Shangguan Juan to take everyone back to rest according to the housekeeper's arrangement.

"Where is Xiaowei now?" The house is the upper room, but Shangguan Juan is still worried, which makes Vanilla and Mu Chenyu who came over very worried about Shangguan Juan's state.

Vanilla raised her arm and stroked Shangguan Juan's hand, and said comfortingly: "Miss, don't worry, this Huaicheng City Lord is a close friend of our family's Hou Ye after all, and he won't want to..."

"Vanilla... You... Don't understand. Saying that, Shangguan Juan frowned, he knew better than anyone else that his father's road was clean, but it was precisely because of the extraordinary relationship between the two that Shangguan Juan was even more worried.

Mu Chenyu stood on the side, the development of things was really tricky, involving the people and religion, it was difficult to balance the two.

"Miss, don't worry, Xiaowei has tassels to stare at." Mu Chenyu's words can be regarded as a reassuring pill for Shangguan Juan.

The moon stars are scarce, and I can't sleep tonight until Shangguan Juan wakes up in the morning and asks to make sure Xiaowei is okay.

"Maybe I'm really worried..."While letting the vanilla toss, Shangguan Juan put his heart back in his stomach.

Who knows, as soon as I finished cleaning up, I heard a maid attached to the door and said: "The city lord is busy with things today, and I specially instructed the young lady not to go out and walk around today." ”

The maid was obviously a messenger, and she left after speaking, but Mu Chenyu frowned and said to Shangguan Juan: "Could it be grounding in disguise?" ”

Although these words are ugly, they are thought of with Shangguan Juan.

Vanilla blinked and planned to go out first to see the truth, "Miss, there are a lot of people outside the city lord's mansion who are making trouble because of yesterday's incident." ”

What Vanilla said surprised Shangguan Juan, it turned out to be like this, but he spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"That's... Xiao Wei..."Worried that these gossips would make Xiao Wei emotionally collapse, as soon as Shangguan Juan spoke, Mu Chenyu planned to bring people back.

Thinking that people have just experienced these must be uncomfortable, the so-called wind and waves can survive one person, but often the last straw that breaks the camel's back is the mean words of others.

Seeing the cowardice on the little girl's face, Shangguan Juan just asked Vanilla to prepare some sweets, and several words of comfort came to her lips, but she couldn't say it.

A scream from nowhere broke the silence, and Mu Chenyu hurriedly went out to check the movement, only Xiao Wei was trembling. The grievances in my heart can no longer be hidden.

"Miss... Everyone is so angry... Is it because... Me..."

After this sentence, several words were held in Xiaowei's throat.

Shangguan Juan frowned, gently stroked Xiaowei's back, and said slowly: "It has nothing to do with you, if you are in a hurry, your body will have something to do with you." "Standby station

Obviously, such a sentence did not appease the other party, although Xiaowei was not as emotional as at the beginning, but the interest was still not high, Shangguan Juan sighed and had to give up.

Mu Chenyu stood aside, but now the people are making such a serious disturbance! I'm afraid it's even harder to end it easily.

"Miss! The troublemakers brought Xiaowei's parents here! ”

Hearing the arrival of her parents, Xiaowei was stunned at first, and then trembled and didn't say a word.

"Great, Miss, this is protected by my father and mother, Xiaowei will be fine when she goes back." Vanilla thought about it, but Shangguan Wan knew that it was wrong just by staring at Xiaowei's reaction.

"You dead girl won't come out yet!" A sharp voice came, and Xiaowei trembled even more.

"Miss, we can't hide from this..."Mu Chenyu saw the chaos outside, thinking that it was not a way to escape all the time.

Shangguan Juan stared at the chaos outside the door, although there are people outside who are in charge of the overall situation, and the city lord has gone out to appease the people, but he can't solve the problem by hiding it himself.

"What! Are you going to hide my daughter? I saw a lady standing at the door with eyes as big as brass bells, spitting and shouting to hand her over.

The guards in front obeyed the orders of the city lord and did not dare to harm the people, so that things would continue to deteriorate. Unexpectedly, the woman rushed over directly, and when she saw Xiaowei's shadow, she came over desperately.

"You damn girl! Who let you escape! Do you know it's all your fault? Come with me yet! ”

After a series of ugly words, Shangguan Juan saw that the other party and Xiaowei had eight points similar eyebrows and eyes, and understood.

A man next to him looked at Xiaowei's eyes and couldn't bear it, but after all, he didn't dare to say a word.

"Are you going to take my daughter from your city lord's mansion?"

Shangguan Juan frowned, he didn't expect that there would be parents who would force their children to die!

"Do you want to send Xiaowei to death for you again!"

Hearing that, the woman finally looked at Shangguan Juan, this young lady was gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, but she didn't pay attention to it at all, but said to Xiaowei bitterly: "No wonder you are so bold a dead girl, you thought that there was a noble person to support you!" You're a shitty life! ”

After saying a word, Xiaowei's face was even more embarrassed, and Vanilla was holding people around.

Seeing Shangguan Wan come out, the city lord was also anxious, and came over with disapproving eyes.

Shangguan Juan gave a reassuring look and said: "Since everyone says that this is to worship the gods, but which way the gods give a place of wind and rain depends on human life!" Isn't this a youkai! ”

Every year, the whole city relies on such a festival to pray for good weather and good weather every year, and although there are major and small disasters, if they are not held, natural and man-made disasters will surely fall.

In order to seek temporary peace, everyone has been holding such a sacrifice for a long time, and it is even more acquiesced in this.

Feeling that Shangguan Juan had successfully swayed the crowd, Mu Chenyu said in a cold voice: "What's more, this kind of peace needs to be maintained by our blood relatives, so are you willing to abandon family affection!" ”

This sentence can be regarded as grabbing his heart, Xiaowei's father said to his wife who was still unconvinced: "That's our daughter." ”
