Chapter 8: The Final Chaos (2)
"Shark blood? What does that mean? Bai Yu was in a hurry, why were all his faces so solemn?
"This ......" Bai Ling'er opened her mouth, but still chose to shut up. She couldn't tell him that if she wanted to solve the flood, she had to let Xia Yan go back to the sea.
Not to mention Bai Yu, even she felt a little incredible.
A legend is a legend after all, and if it suddenly becomes a reality one day, no one will accept it easily.
Bai Ling'er just wanted to comfort and comfort her little apprentice, but was pulled by Gu Ruobai, and she turned around and left the camp.
An Jiuchen, who hurried over, also entered the camp at the same time.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Su Mo got up and saluted, very surprised by An Jiuchen's sudden appearance. "I wonder why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here?"
An Jiuchen directly supported Su Mo and Su Nuo'er and asked them to get up, "After the left and right, it will be a family, and the little general doesn't have to be so polite." β
Family?! Su Nuo'er was taken aback, as if she had guessed An Jiuchen's intention. It's just that she was particularly disgusted by An Jiuchen's touch, and quietly withdrew her hand from him and took a step back. An Jiuchen didn't care, she just thought she was shy.
But only she knows that at this moment, she lowered her head and didn't speak because she was shy, but because she was afraid that she would reveal her emotions as soon as she raised her head, and she was even more afraid that the monstrous hatred in her heart would make her lose her mind and rush up to kill him!
An Jiuchen didn't know what Su Nuo'er was thinking, he took half a step forward and took her hand, looked at her with love in his eyes and said, "Nuo'er, you know that I have been pleased with you for a long time, and now my father has promised to marry us, and I will take you back to the imperial city." β
Su Mo was shocked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, marriage is not a child's play, I am afraid it is not appropriate to give marriage suddenly......"
"What, the little general is questioning Bengong's affection for Nuo'er?" An Jiuchen interrupted Su Mo's words, his face displeased.
Su Mo's face remained unchanged, and he still repeated: "I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands, since ancient times, marriage has been the order of the parents, and Mo only has this one sister, and her marriage must be agreed by Mo and her grandfather, even if the emperor gives marriage, Mo will not be able to obey his fate." β
"Little general, is this going to resist the decree?!" An Jiuchen was rejected one after another, and he was a little annoyed.
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
Su Nuo'er finally pulled out her hand, and said at the same time, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know my temperament, if he becomes the crown princess, he will lose His Highness's face, and Nuo'er doesn't like His Highness, His Highness's good intentions, Nuo'er understands it." β
"You want to resist?" An Jiuchen finally got angry, slammed the holy decree on the desk, and said angrily, "What this palace wants, I have never missed, and now that the holy purpose is here, this palace wants to marry you and put it directly here, Su Nuo'er, you'd better think about it carefully." β
This is a naked threat.
Now that the General's Mansion is facing the difficulties of the Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is already difficult step by step, and if it is charged with disrespecting the decree again, the General's Mansion may really be in dire straits.
Su Nuo'er suddenly looked at Su Mo, Su Mo's eyes were full of encouragement, she understood, her brother was telling her that no matter what decision she made, he and the entire General's Mansion would support her. Su Nuo'er suddenly smiled, held the holy decree on the desk in his hand, and the palm of his hand was slightly moved, and the bright yellow holy decree slowly turned into ashes in a ball of flames.
"You!" An Jiuchen didn't expect that Su Nuo'er would actually destroy the holy decree!
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I, Su Nuo'er, will call you Your Highness when I am in a good mood, if I am threatened like now, I don't know what I will do." Su Nuo'er flicked her sleeve and said nonchalantly, "Don't say it's a holy decree, as long as it makes me unhappy, I will even dare to demolish the palace, what's the matter, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry that Nuo'er is so rude, he can order Nuo'er to be killed." β
How could she not know An Jiuchen's thoughts, in her previous life, it was for her identity and bloodline that she was born with a phoenix, that the General's Mansion would decline, and the Su family would be removed. Now that she has been reborn, how could she fall into his trap again and let the General's Mansion fall into a place of no return? And she also guessed An Jiuchen's thoughts, since he came for her bloodline, he would definitely not do anything to her, so she would do such a rebellious thing as destroying the holy decree and have no fear.
The atmosphere froze for a few seconds, and sure enough, An Jiuchen angrily threw his sleeves away and didn't punish her in the end.
"Brother." As soon as An Jiuchen left, Su Nuo'er cautiously looked at Su Mo's face and said softly, "Brother won't blame Nuo'er for being so impulsive, right?" β
Su Mo shook his head lightly, "It's because my brother is incompetent, or I can't protect my sister." β
What he is worried about now is why An Jiuchen has to ask to marry his sister. If the General's Mansion is involved with the people in the royal family, maybe it will really fall into a place of no return, as Grandpa warned before......
But fortunately, Nuo'er doesn't like An Jiuchen.
Outside the tent.
"Brother Ruobai, I'm going to kill that mentally handicapped prince, and I dare to rob you of a stinky woman!"
Gu Ruobai and Bai Ling'er heard the conversation of several people in the camp clearly, as soon as An Jiuchen left, Bai Ling'er wanted to catch up and solve this problem with his own simple and crude methods.
"Don't be impulsive." Gu Ruobai stopped her and stood outside the tent but didn't go in.
"So what to do? You can't let a stinky woman marry him! Bai Ling'er cursed in a low voice, and came up with an idea for Gu Ruobai, "Otherwise, if Brother Bai, you also go to propose marriage and marry a stinky woman first, wouldn't everyone be happy?" β
When it came to marrying Su Nuo'er, the corners of Gu Ruobai's mouth rose slightly. "Ling'er, stay here to protect Nuo'er, I'll go and ask for the Hades." The man was gone.
Bai Ling'er watched Gu Ruobai leave with a blank eye, and couldn't help but sigh. It would be nice if Brother Bai was not the pavilion master of the Forgetting Worries Pavilion, just because the first rule of the Forgetting Worries Pavilion was that the pavilion master was not allowed to participate in the mundane affairs of the world, and if Brother Bai had to take care of his identity, he would even secretly protect her if he liked Su Nuo'er. Or Su Nuo'er is not the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, and she does not have the so-called responsibility of guarding the General's Mansion, so Brother Ruobai doesn't have to work so hard.
Two people who obviously like each other, but because of the so-called identity in the world, they can't be together in a bright way.
"General Su, Miss Su."
Before An Jiuchen entered the camp tent, Bai Yu took Xia Yan to the side, and did not come out until An Jiuchen left.
"Listening to your conversation, are you in trouble?" Xia Yan's voice was very soft, but he didn't have the previous guard, looked at Su Nuo'er and said, "If you can help me go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet my mother, I may have a way to help you." β
Without waiting for Su Nuo'er to speak, Xia Yan continued to say softly: "Actually, I have long known that I am different from ordinary people, because when I was very young, I would often dream of crying sharks, and at that time I didn't understand what dreams meant, but now it seems that everything was arranged." If I hadn't been replaced since I was born, then I would now be the honorable lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and my status would not have allowed me to solve this flood vision. But fate has brought me to this point, even if I die or never return here, no one will feel sorry for me. β
"Xia Yan!" Bai Yu seemed to guess her thoughts, and called out in pain.
Xia Yan's eyes were full of smiles, and he said softly: "The merman bloodline is the merman bloodline, at least it can save people, right?" At that time, the merman appeared and left a last word saying that no one in the royal family should ask to marry Su Nuo'er, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, otherwise it would be the consequence of the destruction of the world. I think that with this merman's last words, no one will embarrass you anymore. β
Su Nuo'er had to admit at this moment that she underestimated Xia Yan. Weak as Xia Yan, if Bai Yu hadn't been protecting her, I'm afraid she would have died at the hands of the assassins sent by Xia Wanwan. But Xia Yan, who has only known her for a few days, can easily make a trade-off between her own life and the lives of the people, and can even exhaust her last trace of life in order to help her. "Xia Yan, you ......"
"Don't be impressed. I am conditional, I want to meet my mother. Xia Yan said softly. It would be nice to just meet each other secretly, anyway, there is no way for her to stay here again......
"Newspaperβ"
A soldier's voice came from outside the camp tent: "Report to the little general, the water on the ground has risen again, and fifteen people's houses have been flooded, and now the people are waiting outside for the little general to settle." β
Su Mo hurriedly walked out when he heard this, and sure enough, the water outside the camp had already reached the instep, not to mention the houses in the lower places.
"Go and find a few places on higher ground and set up tents, and arrange for the people to live in them first." Fortunately, the number of flooded people was not large, only a few dozen, and Su Mo ordered to go down and go directly to the people to see if anyone was injured.
"Time is running out, Miss Su, take me to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Xia Yan tugged at Su Nuo'er's sleeve.
Su Nuo'er looked at Bai Yu. She is also struggling in her heart, Yu Gong, she doesn't want the people to suffer from the flood; Yu Private, of course, she hopes that the flood will pass quickly, so that her brother will not have to work hard, and the General's Mansion will not be troubled for the time being. However, to perfectly solve this flood, it means sacrificing Xia Yan.
Thinking of her, a woman in the new era of the 21st century, she has always only been entertainment for myths and legends, and she has never believed it, but since she crossed over to this Cheng'an country, she has encountered more and more strange things, constantly refreshing her perception of the world. Although she knows a lot of modern methods of water control, now, it is useless.
The water from the ground gushes up to the ground, and if it is a small area, it is fine, but it is a big deal to spend a little more manpower and material resources to block the water from the ground. But now that 10,000 acres of fertile land and houses have been flooded, how can we solve it with manpower?
In this magical antiquity, the forces of nature seem even more mysterious and irresistible.
Bai Yu knew that he couldn't stop Xia Yan, so he sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, what do you want, I'll accompany you." From the moment she rescued him, he decided that he would protect her in this life, but if he couldn't be together, then let her go together.
"Let's go." Seeing Su Nuo'er's hesitation, Xia Yan urged again.
Su Nuo'er looked at her deeply, and finally nodded: "Let's go, take you to the Prime Minister's Mansion." β
The layout of the Prime Minister's Mansion couldn't be clearer, and she directly took Xia Yan and Bai Yu to the courtyard of the eldest lady.
It was the second half of the night, but the courtyard of the eldest lady was brightly lit. There were many people walking back and forth in the courtyard, and Su Nuo'er didn't dare to step forward without permission, so she hid in the dark to observe the movement.
didn't make the three of them wait too long, and after a while, the people in the courtyard came out one after another with lanterns, and it was Xia Wanwan who walked in the front.
Su Nuo'er frowned, it was a bit too coincidental for Xia Wanwan to appear at this time. It's just that before she could signal Xia Yan to wait, Xia Yan had already quietly run into the courtyard and went straight to the room where Xia Wanwan had just walked out.
Su Nuo'er and Bai Yu hurriedly followed, and as soon as they pushed the door open, there was a patch of blood in their eyes.
A haggard-faced woman lay silently in a pool of blood.
Xia Yan walked over slowly, picked up the eldest lady covered in blood, and burst into tears: "Mother...... Here comes my daughter......"
The faces of the eldest lady and Xia Yan are at least six points similar, but the eldest lady is already weak in breath and can't even speak.
Su Nuo'er hurriedly fed her a pill and temporarily sealed the wound that was still bleeding. "She is in danger now and must be dressed to stop the bleeding."
The three of them were busy stopping the bleeding for the eldest lady, when suddenly a chaotic footstep sounded, the door was kicked open, and then a loud shout: "What person! Dare to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion and assassinate the eldest lady! β
