Chapter 33

When she reported her name, Yin Ji had already stood on the shore, far away from the crocodile in Jiangxin.

Then, she saw a very human confusion on the crocodile's face: "Princess? Isn't that what humans call it? As I remember, I've eaten several princesses before. ”

This sentence sounded like a threat, but Yin Ji knew that it should be true.

Hundreds of years ago, in the Zhao Kingdom, in the face of floods, there was still a habit of taking the princess to sacrifice to the river god, not to mention such a wild place as Minjun?

For large-scale sacrifices, people must be used as sacrifices. The more noble the status of the sacrifice, the purer the itself, the better. Boys and girls, young girls, are good materials for sacrifices.

The stability of Qiangshui is too important to Minjun, and in order to maintain stability, the former small country sacrificed one or two princesses, what is so strange?

But she was not frightened, and said calmly: "I am human. ”

"People?" The crocodile was a little surprised, and looked Yin up and down.

In its vision, there is no distinction between beauty and ugliness, but it can feel the extremely majestic power in Yin Ji's body, so strong that it instinctively feels dangerous.

This is also the reason why it is willing to stop and talk to Yin Hui.

The crocodile asked suspiciously, "What is your relationship with Ji Qingyang?" ”

"Who's that?"

"The strongest of you human beings!" The crocodile stretched out his claws and scratched his head, "His name has spread all over the world through every wisp of wind, every drop of water, every leaf, every bird and beast, even I have heard of it." Before him, we didn't care about the so-called 'humans' at all, and after him, we all knew that there was a race in this world that could not be ignored, and the name was 'humans'. ”

Yin Ji wrote down the name and asked, "How many years ago was that?" ”

The crocodile didn't have much concept of time, and after recalling it for a long time, he said, "It should have been two thousand years ago?" Three thousand years ago? Or 4,000 years ago? I can't remember. ”

Thousands of years, for crocodiles, may be just a snap of a finger.

Just like from early morning to sunset, for human beings, it is only half a day, but for mayflies, it is already a lifetime.

Yin Ji felt a little emotional in her heart, but her expression was very indifferent: "I have nothing to do with Ji Qingyang, and I came here this time just to ask you, in the past two years, there have been many floods in Qiangshui, is it related to you?" ”

The crocodile rightly said, "Flood? Oh, you say the water is rising! They did something to me and made me uncomfortable, so I chased them away. ”

Hearing this, Liu He, who gradually came back to his senses, suddenly didn't know what to say.

Liu He was originally very panicked, after all, a super big crocodile appeared in the Qiang water, and he still spoke people, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a demon god descended into the world, which went against his long-standing cognition.

In this case, humanity simply cannot resist and can only accept whatever is coming, good or bad.

But Yin Ji stopped this great disaster.

Not only that, Yin Xi's calm attitude, as well as the crocodile's politeness to her, gave Liu He great confidence. Let him realize that even this crocodile that can manipulate the Qiang water is not invincible.

Liu He is a smart person after all, he is not afraid of how difficult the situation is, he is afraid that he is facing a desperate situation with no solution.

As soon as he was told that the problem was solved, even if there was little hope, he was able to calm down immediately.

And now, Liu He has heard several meanings from the dialogue between the crocodile and Yin Hui.

First, this crocodile should be the god of Qiangshui.

Second, although the crocodile does not reject cannibalism, it does not actively prey on humans. The flood was just to drive away the humans and avoid the way they built the Yulei embankment, not for hunting.

Three, this crocodile has a high enough intelligence that it may be negotiable.

These three, especially the third, made Liu He a little excited.

If the Qiangshui Water God can negotiate, as long as he often sends sacrifices and asks the other party not to make trouble. Wouldn't it be better if the other party had been better at talking and agreeing to them to build a river embankment?

But at this time, he heard Yin Ji announce: "Minshan and Qiangshui pass through Minjun and Fan County, all of which are the land of Zhaozhi. You have repeatedly stirred up floods and killed the people of Zhao, and you should have been guilty of an unforgivable sin. For the sake of your ignorance, if you are willing to accept Zhaozhi's canonization for Zhao's drive, you may be able to save your life. ”

Suddenly, the crocodile's expression became very fierce: "What did you say? ”

Yin Hui's face remained unchanged: "I am ordered by the king to come to you to ask for it." If you are willing to surrender, everyone will be happy. ”

Of course she knew what the others thought - since the crocodile can communicate, let's negotiate with it, anyway, it's okay to sacrifice every year, isn't it okay to keep the Qiang level quiet?

But Yin was unwilling.

If there is a better way to solve the problem, why sacrifice the living as a sacrifice every year?

And she also knew in her heart that Yin Changying would definitely not accept the so-called "negotiation".

No matter how grand the sacrifice to the crocodile is, it is impossible to truly control the crocodile, in case this guy is insatiable, his appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and he asks for more and more sacrifices. Someday, Akikuni won't be able to satisfy it.

At that time, the crocodile will tear up the treaty, send another big flood, and there will be another thousand miles of Zeguo, who to talk to?

Therefore, in terms of "how to deal with monsters", although Yin Changying did not say it explicitly, Yin Changying had already understood that with this brother's style of acting, there was only one solution to this matter.

If it obeys, it will be restrained and controlled, so that it will serve the Zhao Kingdom;

If not......

Yin sighed silently.

The crocodile roared angrily, like thunder, shaking everyone present to paralyze their bodies, unable to move at all, only thunder exploded in their ears: "Mere human beings, they want to drive me!" Go to hell! ”

Along with his words, in the heart of the river, the water column condensed into a dragon, roaring towards Yin Yin!

Two earthen walls rose from the ground, and in an instant, they were hundreds of feet high!

Seeing that the earth wall was directly generated in front of him, and there was a feeling of covering the sky, Sun Qing suddenly found that the strength he had originally lost was gradually recovering!

Almost instantly, Sun Qing reacted, they had no strength before, so they could only collapse to the ground, not only because they were frightened, but also because of the invisible deterrence of the Qiangshui Water God, and now they can move, because the princess separated the Qiangshui Water God's deterrence!

Sun Qing's mood was agitated.

He never dreamed that at such a time, the princess would protect them!

The next moment, a huge collision sounded through!

Knowing that if they stayed here, they would definitely become a burden to the princess, Sun Qing got up in one go, crawled with a roll, rushed to his aunt's side, helped Sun Boji and Biao Wanzi up, and then pulled these two people, and quickly found Liu He: "Uncle Fang, the kid has a word: If I stay here, I will only become a burden to the princess!" ”

Liu He didn't know this, but he was afraid that if he left like this, what if he was hated by the princess?

At this moment, Yin Ji's voice came: "You quickly retreat to the county seat and leave this place for me to be a battlefield." ”
