Chapter 41: Lookout
Bai Shuqin lowered his head, and his tone was a little desolate: "I heard those people in Southern Xinjiang say that it is a soulless person. They wanted to sacrifice to the heavens with the blood of the Soulless and the Twin Souls, and break the ancient seal. ”
"In other words, you and I are both sacrifices they use to sacrifice?" Lan Xin remembered that the ancients used living people to sacrifice to the heavens recorded in the books she had seen before, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, but she didn't expect that she would become a sacrifice now.
Bai Shuqin nodded, she didn't expect this day to come so quickly. She hadn't buried her mother's bones in person, and she hadn't seen the Bai family kneel in front of her to apologize to her, and everything was going to end.
Lan Xin didn't want to die like this, he was drowned in his last life, and he couldn't say anything in this life to die like this. She asked Bai Shuqin eagerly: "Aren't you able to affect my emotions?" We must know if there's a way for us to get our bodies back, right? ”
Bai Shuqin frowned and thought carefully about those few times, and said to her: "It's okay when you're extremely emotional, but you can't do anything in normal times. ”
"Excited, huh?" Lan Xin pinched her chin, she rarely had times when she was extremely emotional, so she could only pin her hopes on Bai Shuqin, "Then why are you so excited?" ”
Bai Shuqin has a cold temperament, and after so many years in Baifu, all she has learned is patience. Patience is what keeps her alive, and if she resists, she can't imagine what those people will do to her.
Lan Xin could sense what she was thinking, and shook her head helplessly, it seemed that she could only think of other ways.
Zhuo Jinxuan mobilized 5,000 men and horses in Jiangzhou City to encircle and suppress the rampant pirates in the city in all directions. The people of Jiangzhou have been depressed for a long time, but at this moment, they saw that someone finally came to save them, and they had the confidence to finally stop being obedient and rebelled.
No matter how powerful the pirates are, they have to admit defeat in the face of such absolute forces, except for a few pirates who still refuse to accept their fate, and the rest have surrendered before they can make a move. Those pirates who insisted on not surrendering, Zhuo Jinxuan had an order, and all of them were corrected on the spot, and the people applauded.
When it was about to dawn, none of the pirates were caught. Due to the snow a few days ago, the fire in the city was also well controlled, and Sima Liang sincerely thanked him for this heavy snowfall.
Beizhu and Du Zijun have been looking for Bai Shuqin everywhere, Beizhu will let him go to the east for a while and let him go to the west for a while, Du Zijun finally couldn't bear to stop and complained: "Miss, can you not go around me like this?" Where the hell is the third princess! ”
Beizhu herself felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head, but she really led the way with the guidance made by her mother's magic weapon.
Du Zijun couldn't bear to blame her, waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not go around aimlessly." Since they are going to southern Xinjiang, they will definitely go out through the city gates, and we will wait there! ”
Beizhu felt that what he said made sense, why didn't she think of it. When she was in southern Xinjiang, she always felt that she was incapable, so she was useless. But out of southern Xinjiang, Bai Shuqin and Du Zijun who met them did not have spiritual power, but they were no worse than those in the Spirit Royal Family in terms of courage and ability.
She followed behind Du Zijun on crutches, thinking that she might have been using this as an excuse for not working hard, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.
They were still four miles away from the city gate, Du Zijun looked back at Beizhu, who was not much faster than his grandmother, squatted down and said to her, "Come up, I'll carry you!" ”
Beizhu looked at his right arm wrapped in white gauze, shook his head, and refused, "I can go!" ”
Du Zijun said impatiently: "I know you can go, but you walk so slowly, when we get to the city gate, the third imperial concubine will have already been taken away by your people!" ”
Beizhu was still a little hesitant, Du Zijun suddenly reacted, this girl was afraid of touching his arm, so he patted his back with his left hand and said, "My back is very strong, don't worry!" ”
Hearing him say this, Beizhu carefully lay on his back and only wrapped his left hand around his neck. Du Zijun grabbed her thigh with his left hand, lifted her back, and reminded her, "I'm just one hand, you can hold it tightly, don't fall down!" ”
"Hmm!" Beizhu whispered yes.
Du Zijun trotted all the way with her on his back, and he was indeed much faster than her. She lay her head on Du Zijun's left shoulder and asked him quietly, "Why are you and Sister Bai so powerful?" ”
"What?" Du Zijun just wanted to hurry to the city gate, and he didn't hear what she said at all.
Beizhu had to ask again, Du Zijun heard her praise him for being powerful, his face was a little proud, but he still said modestly: "I'm not very powerful, the third princess is really powerful!" I have been practicing martial arts behind my father every day since I was a child, and if I don't practice well, he will beat me, and if I fight too much, I will be thick-skinned, so I am not afraid! ”
"I heard from the Third Imperial Concubine that she used to be the weakest among them, and she was only beaten every day!" Du Zijun chatted with her.
Beizhu was surprised: "How could it be? Sister Bai is obviously so powerful! ”
Du Zijun smiled: "That's now, she said she was at the bottom at the beginning!" So I suffered the most, and my arm was broken four or five times, so I was so powerful today! When my arm hurts four or five times, I can be that bad! Do you believe it? ”
Beizhu remembered that when she was in southern Xinjiang, she had no spiritual power, and others didn't take her to study. Her mother found a master for her, and after studying hard for a year, she was easily knocked to the ground by her youngest sister. She felt that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't match them, so she gave up.
Seeing them now, she suddenly realizes that she was wrong. Even if she didn't have spiritual power, she could be as powerful as Bai Shuqin. She felt that her brothers and sisters, even if they had spiritual power, might not be able to defeat Bai Shuqin.
Du Zijun didn't hear Beizhu's answer, thinking that she didn't believe it, so he cut and said: "What do you know about this little girl, one day I will be better than the third princess!" ”
"Well, I believe it!" Beizhu nodded firmly, and silently swore in her heart that even if she didn't have spiritual power, she would be even more powerful than her group of brothers and sisters!
Du Zijun's vanity was greatly satisfied, and even his pace was much faster.
Zhuo Jinxuan handed over the rest of the matter to Sima Liang to deal with, and he took Qingluan and a few guards to find Bai Shuqin. He knew that they would pass through the gates, so he hurried his horse, hoping that it would not be too late!
Lan Xin and Bai Shuqin saw that they were about to go out of the city gate after the soulless man, Lan Xin still didn't think of any good way, and sighed helplessly: "It seems that the two of us are really going to be taken to sacrifice to the sky!" ”
Speaking of sacrifices, Lan Xin remembered that one of the few times when ancestors were sacrificed in his hometown, boiled chickens and ducks would be placed in front of the mourning hall, and sometimes there would be roast suckling pigs.
She couldn't help but ask Bai Shuqin: "Do you think they will strip us naked and roast us and put them on the altar like they did to worship our ancestors?" ”
Bai Shuqin frowned, "The first time I saw you, you were naked, but if you sacrifice to the sky with blood, you shouldn't need to roast it, right?" She paused and added, "Maybe we'll have to put the blood before cooking." ”
Thinking of such a scene, Lan Xin couldn't help but feel a little infiltrated. After thinking about it, I thought that there were still thousands of miles away from southern Xinjiang, so I couldn't just accept my fate.
Bai Shuqin also thought their idea was quite funny, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "I think we can try again!" ”
"Hmm!" Lan Xin nodded and asked her seriously, "What can I do to make you particularly angry?" ”
Bai Shuqin's face was wrinkled, his eyes were spinning, and he could see that he was thinking very seriously. She thought for a while and shook her head, then shook her head after thinking for a while, and finally said to Lan Xin after a long time: "I hate it when people say that I am a mother, you say this!" ”
Lan Xin frowned a little embarrassed, but after thinking that it was to regain her body, after saying sorry to her, she changed her to a vicious expression and said, "You and your mother are both cheap hooves who seduce people!" Your mother is shameless, and you are even more shameless! Your mother was dug up and deserved it! You'll end up the same way! ”
The expression she said was very similar to Bai Bingbin, if it was really Bai Bingbing, I was afraid that Bai Shuqin would have to fight with her now.
What's worse is that Bai Shuqin and Lan Xin have the same heart, she knows that Lan Xin is deliberate, and even despises this kind of behavior in her heart, which makes her angry no matter what.
Lan Xin also felt it, and sat on the ground weakly. It's okay for you to let her beat people, but she really has no talent for scolding. Thinking of watching Zhou Xingxing's movie before, he could scold the fish to death, and the bent iron rod was straight, and the five bodies she admired were thrown to the ground!
"What's that movie?" Bai Shuqin asked her suddenly.
Lan Xin looked at her strangely with wide eyes, and silently thought about the plot in her heart, Bai Shuqin nodded understandingly: "So that's the case!" It's interesting, I'd like to see it too! ”
"Looks like we can't hide anything from each other!" Lan Xin hung his head in resignation.
The sky was white, and the gate of Jiangzhou had not yet opened. Last night the pirates attacked, and all the officers and soldiers went to the city to help, leaving only two people to guard the city gates.
The gates were supposed to be opened at this moment, but the gatekeepers who stayed behind did not open them for fear that pirates would go out of the gates.
The gatekeeper saw from the lookout on the city wall two women not far away coming towards her, and although they were walking, they were running faster than the others.
The gatekeeper lying on the lookout glanced at the gatekeeper below, "Someone is coming, you go down and have a look!" ”
The gatekeeper nodded to him, immediately picked up the long knife next to the table, and ran under the gate.
When he came to the gate, the two men also happened to come. Seeing that it was two women, he relaxed his vigilance a little, stepped forward and shouted to them, "You two, what are you doing out of the city so early?" ”
The Soulless Man didn't take him seriously at all, and raised the corners of his mouth coldly. The gatekeeper felt cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Before he could make any moves, he saw the soulless man's hand raised, and he fell to the ground in horror, motionless.
Bai Shuqin and Lan Xin were both shocked by such a scene, Lan Xin clenched his fists angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "This group of people actually killed people with my hands!" ”
Bai Shuqin felt her anger and wanted to comfort her, but after thinking about it, he added fuel and vinegar: "Yes! In this way, you will kill someone, and you will go to eighteen layers of hell! ”
Lan Xin glanced back at her, and her anger was half gone, "It's useless, I don't believe in hell." ”
Bai Shuqin smiled awkwardly, "It's really useless!" ”
The gatekeeper at the lookout saw what was going on downstairs and shouted at them, "You two, what are you doing!" ”
The soulless man looked up at the lookout, and Lan Xin secretly screamed in his heart! Bai Shuqin also frowned, but he couldn't do anything.
They closed their eyes together, silently mourning for the gatekeeper, but heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them. But their bodies are out of their control, and they can't see who is coming.
Zhuo Jinxuan saw Bai Shuqin's back, and his hanging heart finally let go a little, fortunately he caught up! He put his legs between the horse's belly and whipped it on the horse's back, and the horse neighed and galloped towards the city gate.
The soulless man turned around when he heard the voice, saw Zhuo Jinxuan coming over with people, and sneered: "He has some ability." ”
