Chapter 168: Not Like a Woman
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, as well as the smell of burnt corpses. Bai Shuqin's heart sank, the Ren clan has always been ruthless, if anyone offends him, he will either lose or die together.
Bai Shuqin's heart seemed to be torn apart by something, his eyes were instantly blood-red, and his face was cold, like a god of death from hell.
At this time, there was only one voice in her head, if anyone dared to hurt Zhuo Jinxuan in the slightest, she would make this city a hell on earth.
She picked up the sword on the ground and approached the city step by step.
The wind suddenly became stronger, blowing the yellow sand all over the ground, and the whining wind was like the mourning music played by the earth.
In the yellow gauze mist, Zhuo Jinxuan seemed to see a red dress in the distance, and the corners of the skirt that were blown by the wind were like a fire. It's just that he has lost so much blood that he can't see the man's face clearly.
The moment he was about to fall, the red flame enveloped him. The familiar scent made the corners of his mouth rise slightly.
"Now your life is mine, and you must not die without my permission!" It was the last thing he heard before he fainted, and he will always remember it.
Zhou Tianmu didn't expect Zhuo Jinxuan to really be able to subdue the Naren clan, he originally just wanted him to retreat.
Hearing the people who came back talk about the scene of that day, Zhou Tianmu was also a little afraid, in case Zhuo Jinxuan really died, the people were afraid that there would be no more peaceful days.
So when Zhuo Jinxuan mentioned his request again, Zhou Tianmu agreed even if he was reluctant to Bai Shuqin.
In the palace, except for Zhou Tianmu, Zhou Yusheng was even more sad, but when he saw Bai Shuqin and Zhuo Jinxuan's happy appearance together, there was only blessings left in his heart.
Before leaving, Zhou Yusheng kept sending Bai Shuqin outside the city gate and threatened Zhuo Jinxuan, "If you dare to treat her badly, I won't spare you first!" ”
"Don't worry, I won't make her sad again!" Zhuo Jinxuan smiled and looked at Bai Shuqin affectionately.
Bai Shuqin covered his mouth and smiled, and said to Zhou Yusheng: "I'm leaving, you can't return to your true nature just because no one is disciplined." I believe that you will become a generation of masters, don't let me down. ”
"Hmm!" Zhou Yusheng nodded emphatically.
In the rare quiet time on the carriage, Bai Shuqin leaned on Zhuo Jinxuan's shoulder, suddenly remembered something, and quickly got up and sat up.
"What's wrong?" Zhuo Jinxuan was a little strange.
"Ahem, I've already divorced you. It is better to keep a distance between men and women. Bai Shuqin had a slight anger on her face, thinking of what happened before, she still had some pimples in her heart.
Zhuo Jinxuan laughed after hearing this, "May I ask Madam, where is your letter of resignation?" ”
"You're there, of course!" Bai Shuqin blurted out, and seeing Zhuo Jinxuan smiling and silent, he suddenly reacted in his heart, "You ruined the letter of resignation?" ”
"I haven't seen the book of resignation, and I won't see it in the future!" Zhuo Jinxuan hugged Bai Shuqin into his arms, smelled her fragrance, and said seriously: "In this life, I only recognize you as my wife!" ”
Bai Shuqin looked up at him and pretended to be angry, "What about Bai Bingbing?" ”
"I'm a stranger to her, from the moment she did it to you. Shu'er, promise me not to leave. Zhuo Jinxuan's eyes were filled with sadness, and the scene of losing her came to mind again.
"Well, I promise you!" Bai Shuqin stretched out his hand and smoothed his frowning brow. All the past is in plain sight.
She wouldn't ask him how he was with Bai Bingbin, and he wouldn't ask her how she got to Zhou, the two already knew each other too well. She took his hand, clasped it tightly.
When Bai Shuqin returned to the capital, Du Zijun was the happiest. He decorated the entire Three Princes' Mansion with lanterns, and those who didn't know thought that the Three Princes were going to marry a wife again.
The family was happy and the family was sad, and Bai Bingbin knew that there was no hope for Zhuo Jinxuan, so he was simply disheartened.
The capital seemed to be calm again, but one morning, Zhuo Jinxuan did not get up as early as usual, Bai Shuqin only thought that he was tired, but he did not wake up until noon.
Bai Shuqin realized that something was wrong and immediately asked Beizhu to come over, but even Beizhu didn't know what was going on.
Just when Bai Shuqin was in a hurry, an arrow was shot next to the bed, Bai Shuqin looked out, and Qingluan immediately chased after him.
"Sister Bai, there is a letter tied to the arrow." Beizhu pulled out the arrow and handed the letter to Bai Shuqin.
Bai Shuqin read the letter, and his face became solemn. Beizhu asked anxiously, "Sister Bai, what did the letter say?" ”
Bai Shuqin didn't speak, but handed the letter to Beizhu, who hurriedly read it, and only wrote one sentence on the letter: I want to save people, come to southern Xinjiang.
"Soulless!" Beizhu exclaimed, she knew the purpose of the Soulless, "Sister Bai, you must not go, this is their trap!" ”
"I have to go!" Bai Shuqin's face was solemn, she didn't know what was waiting for her, but she had no choice.
The early autumn morning was already a little chilly, and in the misty mountains, Bai Shuqin was riding a horse and taking Beizhu towards the southern frontier. After eating and sleeping all the way, Bai Shuqin finally stepped into southern Xinjiang in the evening of this day.
The southern border of Xinjiang is full of miasma, and ordinary people don't want to step into it, even if they only get close to half a step, they will end up either dead or injured.
Beizhu was worried that Bai Shuqin's body would not be able to stand it at first, but after entering, Bai Shuqin was not uncomfortable, but she felt tightness in her chest and shortness of breath and dizziness.
"Sister Bai, let's go slower." Beizhu tugged at Bai Shuqin's sleeve, and said weakly.
Bai Shuqin saw that her face was pale, so he stopped his steps and half-squatted down, "There is still a short road ahead, I will carry you." Wait for the miasma to dissipate, and you are coming down. ”
Beizhu was not too embarrassed to let Bai Shuqin carry her, but seeing that her expression could not be refused, she had to let her carry her on her back.
There are many swamps in the southern Xinjiang area, and it is not easy for Bai Shuqin to walk this way. After entering the palace of the Spirit Emperor Family, Bai Shuqin didn't even care about resting, and went directly to the Spirit Emperor Patriarch.
Beizhu couldn't persuade Bai Shuqin, so he hurried to find Su Hua, hoping that she could save Bai Shuqin.
After hearing what Beizhu said, Su Hua was not in a hurry, and seemed to have expected this step. She smiled and wiped the sweat from Beizhu's face, and said softly: "I've worked hard for you this time, go back and rest." ”
"Mother, I'm not working hard, go and save Sister Bai." Beizhu's tears were about to flow out.
"Everything has its own certainty in the dark, and this may be fate. What we can do has been done, and now it's up to providence. Su Hua was still smiling, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Beizhu knew that it was useless to continue talking, so he had to stop talking, but in his heart he planned to save Bai Shuqin by himself.
The place of worship of the Spirit Emperor Clan was on the snow mountain behind the palace, Bai Shuqin followed the Spirit Emperor Patriarch and the Holy Mother of the Netherworld up the mountain, and the other clansmen were all on standby at the foot of the mountain.
Bai Shuqin glanced at the mountain peaks in the distance, if he failed, he was afraid that he and Zhuo Jinxuan would only be able to see each other on Huangquan Road.
On the way, Beizhu told her that Zhuo Jinxuan was the oldest Gu poison in Southern Xinjiang, and the person who fell into this Gu poison would be unconscious, and after ninety-nine eighty-one days, his body would begin to rot, leaving only a pile of white bones.
This poison can only be solved by the Ice Flower enshrined on the snowy mountain behind the Spirit Emperor's Palace, but the Ice Flower will only bloom during sacrifices. Since the isolation of southern Xinjiang, the sacrifice has never been initiated, so this poison is equivalent to no cure.
The wind mixed with snowflakes blew on Bai Shuqin's face, like the most gentle knife. The Holy Mother of the Netherworld looked back at Bai Shu Qin, and there was an irrepressible heat in her eyes, "Finally waiting for this moment!" ”
On the top of the mountain, Bai Shuqin saw that the soulless person was tied to a huge snake-shaped bronze sculpture, and from a distance, it seemed as if he was tightly bound by a snake.
The Spirit Emperor Patriarch took Bai Shuqin to another serpentine sculpture opposite the Soulless One, and Bai Shuqin knew that they were planning to tie her up as well. Bai Shuqin's face was expressionless, allowing them to tie themselves to the snake.
After all this was done, the originally white sky instantly became dark, while the sun emitted a dazzling white light, which was extremely weird.
"Let's get started!" The Spirit Emperor Patriarch trembled and said to the Netherworld Holy Maiden.
The Nether Saintess laughed wickedly, and got up and walked to the place where the Soulless Man was. Bai Shuqin thought to herself, it's good that she didn't come to her side, otherwise she would not be able to suppress the urge to beat her.
The Spirit Emperor Patriarch pulled out the dagger on his waist, and after seeing that the Netherworld Holy Maiden also took out the dagger, he gestured to her, and then used the dagger to cut Bai Shuqin's wrists and ankles at the same time.
Blood began to flow into the sculpture along the line that was concave on the serpentine sculpture, but Bai Shuqin's eyes were only fixed on a white plant growing between the two sculptures.
With the inflow of blood, Bai Shuqin saw the white plant slowly blooming a flower like a snowflake, and she knew that it was Bingxiao Flower.
"Beizhu, I'll leave it to you next." Bai Shuqin showed a faint smile.
In a trance, Bai Shuqin seemed to see that the world was white, she had heard that if she went to heaven after death, she would be able to see this scene, presumably she had already reached heaven.
Before she could think too much, a familiar voice came from beside her, "I haven't paid you back, you can't die!" ”
"Han Yu!" Bai Shuqin exclaimed in surprise, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was being held in Han Yu's arms, and he was rushing down from the snow with her.
Bai Shuqin had time to think about it, and hurriedly looked back at the top of the snowy mountain, where two huge red-eyed black snakes were flying towards the sky, and the snowy mountain began to collapse.
"Ice Flower!" Bai Shuqin suddenly thought that he was about to break free from Han Yu's embrace.
Han Yu hugged her in and muttered, "I lost so much blood and had so much strength, I really don't look like a woman." Look what's in your hands! ”
Only then did Bai Shuqin notice that he was still holding something in his hand, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a blooming ice flower. Her heart was finally steady.
The sacrifice was successful, the seal of Southern Xinjiang was finally unlocked, and Bai Shuqin heard that the people of the Spirit Emperor Family were ready to reconquer the world, and he didn't know if they could succeed this time.
Han Yu kept sending Bai Shuqin back to the capital, and only said to her before leaving: "I owe you a life, and now I can pay it off, and we will not owe each other in the future." ”
"Well, thank you for that for me." Bai Shuqin said with a smile, she didn't think that Han Yu would be so kind to save her.
Han Yu paused, laughed again in an instant, waved his hand, and turned to leave. His wife was still waiting for him at home, and it would be too long to come out this time.
Bidding farewell to Han Yu, Bai Shuqin had just returned to the Three Princes' Mansion when he was detained by two Praetorian Guards.
Before she could struggle, the chief administrator of Ouchi appeared with the holy decree, and read aloud in his voice as if he had been choked: "Bai Shuqin, the second lady of the White Mansion, deceived her superiors and subordinates, pretended to be the third imperial concubine, and was imprisoned and disposed of!" ”
Bai Shuqin instantly understood, and stared at the chief manager of Ouchi with a sneer, this is really a good time. Taking advantage of Zhuo Jinxuan's wake-up status, he disposed of her, and made up an excuse in the future, and he was not afraid that Zhuo Jinxuan would make trouble.
However, what the emperor didn't expect was that Zhuo Jinxuan woke up that day, and before he could get better, he was in a hurry to see Bai Shuqin.
Bai Shuqin stroked Zhuo Jinxuan's still pale face through the railing, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "The bird occupies the dove's nest, and it will have to be returned after all." Are you happy? ”
"Shu'er, you!" Zhuo Jinxuan was speechless for a while, and sighed after a while, "It's not that you don't understand my heart." Don't be afraid, I'll go see my father now. ”
"What if you see it? It wasn't his idea yet. Bai Shuqin shrugged indifferently.
