Chapter 22: Priests of the Snow Country

When she returned in the evening, she couldn't sleep again.

Liu Qing, who was in the same room, was dragged out by the instructor in the middle of the night, and the rest of the people woke up one after another.

Youlan Pingsu likes to probe the parents the most, and in a blink of an eye, he figured out the ins and outs. This Liu Qing had a relationship with the dead soldiers of another group, and accidentally became pregnant for a while.

"I don't care what you do secretly," the instructor said with a gloomy face, "I will not allow you to have a body!" ”

"This Liu Qing has only been two or three months, how can the instructor see it?" Youlan and the others were still whispering there.

Ding Ruoyu lay on her back on the bunk, tilted her head in the direction of the door, and saw that Wumian glanced at her.

In the second half of the night, the two of them paced into the forest behind the training ground.

"Qiao'er, you know what? I have a younger sister whose nickname is Qiao'er......" Sleepless suddenly spoke, not loud, but very clear in the silent forest.

Ding Ruoyu followed suit, raised his eyes and smiled when he heard this: "The name Qiao'er is indeed too common. ”

Sleepless was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "But I prefer to call her 'Xiao Yu'." ”

Ding Ruoyu's eyes widened.

"I've known each other for so long, and I haven't made a formal self-introduction." Sleepless turned around, revealing the hazy moonlight, and saw her surprise clearly, "My background is inconvenient to disclose, I am from Dongye, the eldest daughter of the Ding family." ”

"The Ding family ......," Ding Ruoyu muttered.

"It's exactly the Ding family you thought of." Sleepless laughed casually, and casually folded a wicker stick and played with it, "My real name is Ding Ruoyi, and I have a younger sister who has played with me since I was a child, named Ding Ruoyu...... She certainly doesn't remember me, though. ”

"When I was taken away, she was too young to understand anything, but where she didn't know, I would quietly watch her happy or sad, and secretly help her fulfill some small wishes."

Ding Ruoyu pursed her lips.

She almost hugged the tall and beautiful girl in front of her, threw herself into her arms and told her that she was her own sister.

But she finally restrained herself, and covered her palms with long black sleeves that were pinched by her fingernails and bloodied.

"Sister Ling...... Are you okay? Eventually, she said this question.

Sleepless sighed: "I didn't know that my father's stepmother, the mother-in-law who took me with one hand, was actually a medical girl who escaped from the witch cult. ”

"The Witch Emperor sent someone to investigate, found out her whereabouts, and asked people to assassinate her, and finally she and Xiao Yu were buried in the fire......"

Her body suddenly became a little weak, Ding Ruoyu supported her and whispered to persuade her to mourn.

"The people that the witch cult wants to deal with, even the Ding family can't protect them. At that time, I had already entered the net of heaven and earth, and after learning the news, I secretly made up my mind. She brushed down Ding Ruoyu's hand and held it instead, her eyes firm and deep, "To be the strongest dead soldier, to climb to the top of the witch cult, and then let this disgusting purgatory disappear completely!" ”

"Sister tell me these ......," Ding Ruoyu frowned.

Sleepless approached her, sniffed at her neck, and whispered, "Phantom Face Pill...... He gave you the Illusion Pill? ”

Ding Ruoyu's back stiffened.

"I know the relationship between you and Lihong, and I can trust you." Sleepless fingertips dusted her shoulder, smiling, her eyes were sharp, "There are no more than five people in the world who can recognize the taste of the Illusion Pill, and I am one of them." ”

"But I warn you, your good sister Chen Lan, I also smell this on her." Sleepless pressed her shoulders and smiled, "She's either bought by Lihong, or ...... It is a member of the Ye family. ”

"Dongye royalty?" Ding Ruoyu muttered in a low voice.

"If it is, then it will not be easy for her. Deigned to come to this Shura field, I don't know what the old people in her family have? ”

Seeing Ding Ruoyu silently pondering, with a serious look on her expressionless face, Wumian grabbed her hand and shook it.

"Regarding the witch cult, what does Sister need me to help with?" Ding Ruoyu smiled slightly.

"I don't need to help with anything, I just let you know, and you just have to stand by and watch in the future." Sleepless flashed a little struggle in his eyes, and finally said, "Whether you succeed or fail, I won't involve you." ”

Ding Ruoyu looked at his toes, as if he saw the distant imperial capital of Dongye, the floating shadow of the sword, and the fire on a snowy night...... Staying out of the matter is not something she can do ruthlessly.

In the dense forest, as she was walking back with Sleepless, she suddenly saw a familiar black shadow.

Sleepless apparently found out, and the two immediately crouched down and hid their bodies behind thick branches.

It's Xue Tong.

He sneaked into the forest in the middle of the night, and before he had long gone, a clear voice called him out and the two who were hiding: "Silly goose, someone has already found out!" ”

Ding Ruoyu still had to find out, but he was grabbed by Wumian's wrist and ran wildly with light kung fu as if he was dead, and rushed back to the training ground directly.

"High Priest of the Snow Country!" Sleepless ran out of breath, and Ding Ruoyu was almost suffocated.

"What?" Her throat ached, and she only felt hot when she spoke.

"That man, the priest of the Snow Country...... "Sleepless rested for a while before he could speak again, "It is said that this person's combat power is even more terrifying than that of the Witch Emperor, fortunately he is too lazy to bother with us, otherwise he will really die without a place to be buried......"

"When did he show up?" Ding Ruoyu said in fear.

"I don't know, I hope I didn't hear anything important." Sleepless also sank his face.

"What are the people of the Snow Country doing in the Yan Country?" Ding Ruoyu muttered to herself. These two countries, as they take their names, have always been bitter enemies.

There is no sleep and there is no answer. The two went back to the house, stayed up all night trembling, and continued to train in the Obsidian Temple the next day.

Ding Ruoyu saw Xue Tong dancing with a wooden sword, but his expression was as usual, as if she and Wumian had the same strange dream last night.

Green-eyed ...... Isn't it green eyes that most of the people in the Snow Country?

She thought of a legend. Hundreds of years ago, there was a war between the gods and the demons, and the leading priest went against the will of the Heavenly Monarch and was punished to the nether. So he circled a territory in the snowy region of northern Xinjiang, and took those loyal subordinates who followed him to settle down and multiply in the mortal realm.

Legend has it that the people of the Celestial Clan had jasper-like eyes, and the descendants of these Celestial Beings gradually established the Snow Country, and the forces of all parties dominated the mortal realm and did not invade each other.

However, many years ago, the generals of the Yan Kingdom entered the frozen snow region, burned, killed, plundered, and did countless evils, tearing through the veil of mystery of the people of the Snow Country, and also disrupting the peace of this extreme northern land for hundreds of years. As a result, the two countries have become hostile and continue to face each other-for-tat and refrain from backing down.

The Obsidian Hall is really a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Ding Ruoyu lit a fire on a ball of ice, and with a snort, only a wisp of weak green smoke remained in his palm.

Chen Lan temporarily moved to the palace, and within a few days, the lord of Duanrong County held a banquet, and Yan Xi was also invited.

She knew that her troubles were finally coming.

The banquet was held as scheduled, and the daughters of all the mansions of Yanguo who stayed at home were all gathered in the county lord's mansion temporarily set up in the imperial capital at this moment, singing and dancing, and beauties gathered, which dazzled Chen Lan.

In this country of the Western Regions, the people are born in a variety of strange ways, but they prefer to act in the Central Plains, and their etiquette and poetry are the same as those of the people of Middle Earth.

She didn't dare to make a mistake, and followed Yan Xi into the garden under the guidance of the maids. On the side of the garden, the county lord of Duanrong and a few good noble ladies sat around talking and laughing, and when they saw Yan Xi coming, they hurriedly got up to greet them: "Sister Princess, are you here?" Hey, why don't you see Lord Lihong? ”

"Hmph." Yan Xi snorted, didn't pay attention to this boring question, didn't give a good face, and sat down coldly beside Duanrong.

Chen Lan stood still behind the princess, her eyes lowered and her expression meek. She didn't care about the dispute between the princess and the county lord, but she didn't want the fire to burn on her head all at once.

Lord Duanrong instructed the maid to bring the pastries, and while deliberately glancing at Chen Lan, she said curiously: "Princess Suwen loves beautiful things, but why did she find a personal maid who is extremely ugly?" ”

Ugly...... Chen Lan couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek. Although he looks very ordinary, he is not miserable, right?

The laughter of the nobles' daughters suddenly sounded around her, and Yan Xi's face immediately changed: "My female guard is not good-looking, but she was sent by the Obsidian Palace to protect me, do you have the ability to invite someone to the Obsidian Palace to be your personal maid?" ”

This princess finally has a conscience and is willing to say a word for herself. Chen Lan secretly thought that she had taken care of her for several days in vain.

But one after another things happened next, Chen Lan realized that Yan Xi dragged herself here this time completely to show off how much her father loved her in front of all the daughters, and gave her such an omnipotent maid from heaven to earth.

first made a live arrow target, and then carried almost all the ladies in the garden to the wall, and then was blindfolded and shot the copper coins thrown by the ladies in the air......

After Chen Lan was tossed half to death, he grabbed the Wujin Treasure Bow weighing dozens of catties and shot the last arrow.

The cheers around him faded into horrific screams. Chen Lan secretly said that it was not good, and pulled off the black cloth strip that covered her eyes and looked forward.

She saw three dazzling figures, and when the three of them were together, they gave her an invisible coercion, so that she could barely raise her head.

And in the middle of the three, the tallest man in red cloak was staring at her coldly, with a wooden face and a sharp feather arrow in his palm.

"Lord Protector ......" Chen Lan knelt on her knees, knowing that she was in a big trouble at this moment. Those three people are the three protectors of water, fire and wind, seeing that Mu Huo's face is not good, she guesses that it is difficult to escape today.

"Who is not a long-eyed maid, dare to kill Senior Brother Muhuo, if it doesn't matter, this Dharma Protector will kill her for Senior Brother to set an example." A slightly hoarse female voice gradually approached, obviously the only woman in the Dharma Protector Weak Water.

Chen Lan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, as if she had ushered in a glimmer of hope.

Seeing that the weak water drew her sword and stabbed her, she didn't dodge it. At this moment, Mu Huo stretched out his hand to stop her and stopped: "She is the princess's person, and the princess will dispose of it." He looked at Chen Lan with a cold and indifferent look, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Looking at Chen Lan's heart, it was as cold as frost.

"Chen Lan, you are too presumptuous." Yan Xi saw that he almost injured the powerful figure of the witch sect, and he didn't care about his feelings, pulled out the whip he carried with him, and slashed his head and face at Chen Lan.

She was very heavy, and even broke Chen Lan's clothes.

The girl's thin body was prostrate on the ground, without the slightest resistance or struggle, silently enduring the sharp pain falling like raindrops on her body, and her fingers were deeply embedded in the soft soil of the garden grass.

She glanced at Mu Huo in the upright pavilion out of the corner of her eye, and saw that he didn't even want to look at herself. She smiled bitterly, slammed the last whip, stood up weakly, and still obediently served by Princess Yanxi's side.

Since he felt that the princess's face was the most important thing, she satisfied him.

It was almost time to finally return to the princess's mansion. Chen Lan took off her messy clothes, looked at the bright red and hideous whip marks, and a self-deprecating smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

Her trembling shoulders were gently held by a pair of warm and generous hands, and she jumped away in fright, grabbing the clothes she had taken off to cover her body.

"I warn you," looking at the cold face she hated in front of her, Chen Lan finally broke out, "You will not be allowed to enter my room without my permission in the future!" ”

When Mu Huo heard this, his cold and indifferent eyes swept over her sensitive parts unscrupulously, and sneered: "You think I am willing to see you." ”

"Bastard, get out!" Chen Lan roared angrily, if it weren't for the fact that he was still injured and in pain, she would have personally bombarded him away.

The man in the red cloak shook his head slightly, ignoring her fierce resistance, forcibly blocking her movements, and tearing off the few pieces of rags she used to cover her body.

"Ah, what are you going to do? Someone, help! There's a flower thief! Chen Lan felt a chill all over her body, her mind was instantly confused, and she shouted loudly.

"Shut up." Mu Huo frowned in distress, took out a box of plasters from his sleeve and said, "Don't be delusional, this Dharma Protector will be merciful to give you medicine, don't be ignorant." ”

Actually said she was delusional? Chen Lan lowered her head and opened her mouth to bite the placket of his cloak under his cloak.

Hugging the girl who fell into her arms, Mu Huo forcibly moved her to the bed, picked out the plaster and applied it to the wound on her back little by little. His warm fingers pressed gently, and the bloody whip marks gradually began to shrink, Chen Lan felt a coolness on his back, and the sharp pain disappeared immediately.

Chen Lan lay on the ham and almost fell asleep. She remembered the escape when she was very young, in the cave in the mountain behind Mufu, she fell asleep in his arms when she was only a teenager.

She couldn't help laughing: "If the princess bumps into this scene, she will definitely break me into pieces." ”

"Well, you're too skinny." Mu Huo responded softly, but the bull's head was not in the horse's mouth.

He always does! Chen Lan was unhappy and buried her face in his lap and was indignant.

The slightly cool touch on his back suddenly disappeared, and Mu Huo pulled down the cloak to wrap the girl's body, but he had no intention of leaving.

As soon as Chen Lan was able to move, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, he wrapped himself tightly from head to toe with that thick cloak. Her eyes were round, and she glared at Mu Huo angrily: "The medicine is finished, you still don't leave?" ”

"There's no hurry." The Fire Protector poured a cup of tea and waited aside, looking at the tea leaves in the cup.

Chen Lan was too lazy to bother with him, so she covered her head and fell asleep.

The cold man shook his head dissatisfied, re-covered the quilt for her, and said in a low voice: "The injuries on your body have been dressed for three days, I will come back tomorrow night, you have a good rest." ”

Chen Lan's little face suddenly turned red, and she covered her head with the quilt again. He waited for a long time before he lifted the quilt and inhaled hard.

I have been looked down on by him, how will I marry in the future? She shyly covered her face with her hands, and it was over! 's great youth, I can't imagine that it will be buried in the hands of this inexplicable man......
