The village chief's face changed slightly, looked at the dense crowd of people in the audience, and asked, "Who?" Who's talking? ”

"Me."

The crowd parted, and a gorgeously dressed girl stood proudly.

She had her hands on her hips, protected by five or six guards with knives behind her, and no one could approach them at will.

The village chief was very dissatisfied with her rudeness, "Who are you! ”

"I'm the daughter of the imperial lieutenant, Yang Wan'er!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was noisy.

Everyone's faces changed, especially the village chief, whose brows were furrowed and his face was pale.

Qu Youying was also taken aback.

"How did she come to such a place?"

Qu Youying was very curious, and couldn't help but look a little gloating, and said, "Dare to show her identity and still make trouble with other people's sacrifices here, doesn't she know that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake?" Gee. ”

Mu Jingzhu didn't speak, and a pair of dark eyes like eagles approached that side.

That appearance always gave Qu Youying a feeling that he had known for a long time.

Just as he was about to ask, the village chief spoke.

"This is Baixiang Village, people from the government are not welcome, even if you are the daughter of the Taiwei, please leave!"

He is the biggest person in Baixiang Village, and if he wants to drive people out, it is equivalent to giving an order to the villagers, and the villagers will not disobey them.

So for a while, the villagers began to wave Yang Wan'er away, and even a few strong men stepped forward with a copy of the guy in their hands.

"Just a few of you want me to leave?" Yang Wan'er was very arrogant, standing with her hands in her hands, disdainful, "Call me!" ”

As soon as she spoke, several guards behind her stepped forward and beat up the strong men, and they were ruthless, not caring about human life at all.

Qu Youying's whole body hurts when she sees it.

She tugged at Mu Jingzhu's sleeve and whispered, "You're not going to stop it?" ”

Mu Jingzhu clasped his hands and said quietly, "We are civilians, we can't stop it." ”

"Liar."

Qu Youying pursed her lips, but she was already sure in her heart that Yang Wan'er would appear here, and Mu Jingzhu must have known.

Even if he really doesn't know, if he doesn't move at the moment, there will definitely be a backup move!

Therefore, Qu Youying didn't continue to ask, and continued to watch the excitement with her hands copied!

"The daughter of the captain, can you torture people at will? When this news spreads, I am not afraid of people's jokes! ”

The village chief's words seemed to be light, but even the captain was accused of it, and the discerning person understood it at once.

But falling on Yang Wan'er's ears only made her more arrogant.

With a wave of her hand, she told her men to stop beating people, took a few steps forward, and stepped on a strong man.

Tilting her head, she stared at the lieutenant without the slightest fear.

"If you have the ability, you can spread it! Let's see if you're a big talker, or if I'm good. ”

These words immediately aroused considerable dissatisfaction among the villagers, and even Qu Youying couldn't stand it anymore.

It was the first time she had met someone with such a temperament.

The village chief pulled his face, got down from the platform, and walked in front of Yang Wan'er in a few steps.

"Tonight is the Yuelao Tree Festival in Baixiang Village, please don't mess around here, you are the daughter of the Taiwei, as long as you leave immediately, I won't worry about you!"

"If you have the ability, you will have to deal with me!" Yang Wan'er twisted her neck with a look of disdain, "I'm going to make trouble here today, so that you can't complete the sacrifice, and see if it will make the village suffer!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

The village chief is also on fire.

He is almost fifty years old, and he has never seen any stormy characters, but now he is scolded by a little girl pointing his nose like this, and he can't let go of it either in his heart or in his face.

His hands hanging at his sides were clenched, and his body trembled lightly under the moonlight, already trying his best to endure it.

"If you don't leave and talk nonsense here again, don't blame me for being rude."

"How else can you not be polite? Didn't you just hit me? If you have the ability, you can come! ”

Yang Wan'er was very arrogant and unscrupulous, and Qu Youying looked at it with a very admiring touch.

She was next to Mu Jingzhu and joked, "If I have such a father, I see who would dare to bully me." ”

Mu Jingzhu glanced at her and said casually, "Then you have to let your father spoil you." ”

One sentence made Qu Youying choke back.

Although she has a father, she has enough wealth and power.

But obviously, she can't be spoiled by her father! So where is Yang Wan'er's willful arrogance?

Pouting, she could only continue to watch the play.

I don't know what the village chief said to Yang Wan'er again, but I saw Yang Wan'er suddenly pick up the torch on the side and quickly ran towards the old tree.

It's like burning a tree.

It's just that the torch in her hand hasn't approached the tree yet, and a gust of wind suddenly comes from the peaceful night.

The wind blew through the trees, blew flames, and beckoned towards Yang Wan'er's body.

She screamed and threw her torch, but a spark was blown by the wind on her clothes and instantly ignited.

"Help, help!"

She screamed in fright, but no one around stepped forward to help, and everyone looked at her coldly.

"Hurry up and save people!"

Qu Youying patted Mu Jingzhu, how did she know that the location around her was empty, and when she looked up, she saw that he hurried to Yang Wan'er's side and extinguished the flame on her clothes with his bare hands.

Yang Wan'er panicked, changed color and turned pale, leaned on Mu Jingzhu's arms, and said nothing.

At this time, the village chief suddenly walked quickly to the Yue Lao Tree, bent his legs, and knelt down.

"The Divine Tree has appeared, the Divine Tree has appeared!"

The scene just now, everyone saw it.

At this moment, when the village chief said this, he was even more convinced, and they learned to kneel down with the village chief.

"Everyone has seen what happened just now. It was this woman who offended the sacred tree and wanted to burn the sacred tree, so the sacred tree punished it slightly, as a punishment! So—"

His eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally landed on Yang Wan'er and Mu Jingzhu in front of the Yue Lao Tree.

"So, anyone who offends the sacred tree will not have good results. Don't even inquire about the Divine Tree, because this is the Divine Tree, and if a mortal moves it, if anything happens, it will be damned! ”

Qu Youying also knelt on the ground with everyone, but she had doubts in her heart because of his words.

He clearly meant something.

Qu Youying looked at the two people over there, and always felt that the village chief's words were not just aimed at Yang Wan'er.

remembered the words of the shopkeeper and sister-in-law Xiang who were interrupted twice today.

Qu Youying felt that maybe the village chief had noticed something, so they didn't ask anything for a whole day.

At that moment, she chose to be silent, planning to wait until she left here before talking to Mu Jingzhu in detail.

Because of such a fuss, Yang Wan'er also panicked, and threw down the sentence fiercely, "I will come again" and left with someone.

Mu Jingzhu looked at Yang Wan'er's back and was silent.

At this time, it was not easy to drive the troublemakers away, and the village chief continued to preside over the sacrificial ceremony.

But everything was simple, and the bonfire party afterwards was no longer as excited as it used to be.

Mu Jingzhu watched it, and quietly left with Qu Youying.

As soon as she left the village, Qu Youying couldn't wait to say, "I think there is something wrong with the village chief." ”

Mu Jingzhu drove the horse and ran on the path, with the whirring wind in her ears and her soft voice.

"Why?"

"Because when Yang Wan'er approached the Yuelao Tree with a torch, the people around us thought that she was going to burn the tree, do you think the village chief would not know? But at that time, the village chief stood still, did not take any action, and did not even say a word to stop her. ”

"You're right."

Mu Jingzhu praised, pulled her into his arms, and blocked a lot of night wind for her, then said.

"The wind is made by man's inner force."

Really!

Qu Youying was overjoyed, turned her head, looked at him and asked.

In this way, it shows that the other party was not arranged by Yang Wan'er. Is it the village chief? But how did the village chief know that Yang Wan'er would come! also deliberately looking for someone to arrange such a play? Looks like it's warning something? ”

"Definitely. He was warning some people not to inquire about anything about Xilin and the Yuelao Tree in the village. ”

Qu Youying frowned, they asked a lot of people today to inquire about it.

But many people don't know, and what they know will always be disrupted invisibly.

Coupled with the fact that it happened again at night, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the village chief was really warning them.

"But there's something very strange!"

Qu Youying was leaned into his arms, and she was very comfortable and puzzled.

"If the village chief really wants to warn us, it would be good to find someone at random, why does it have to be Mrs. Yang's daughter?"

"I didn't understand that for a while. But one thing is for sure. ”

Qu Youying blinked suspiciously, "Which point?" ”

"This person is not really the daughter of a captain."

"Huh?" Qu Youying was shocked, "Isn't she?" How do you know? ”

"Stupid." Mu Jingzhu slapped her mercilessly, "At yesterday's dinner, didn't you see what Yang Wan'er looked like?" ”

Qu Youying was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

"I was thinking about something else yesterday! How is it possible to look at the appearance of a woman. ”

Mu Jingzhu sighed helplessly.

"If you saw Yang Wan'er yesterday, you would know that although this person is somewhat similar to her today, he is not herself."

"Not Yang Wan'er?" Qu Youying was taken aback, "Who could that be?" Why do you have to pretend to be Yang Wan'er? ”

"That's what worries me. On the one hand, what the village chief did should be to warn you and me not to try to investigate again. On the other hand, I guess, it was directed at the Tai Lieutenant. ”

"What you mean is that if this person is not Yang Wan'er, but offended the Yue Lao Tree as Yang Wan'er, he will be punished. This matter is not only the people of Baixiang Village, but many other people have seen it, once the matter is spread, if something really happens to Yang Wan'er, it will also be recognized as a punishment from heaven, not man-made! ”

"You're right. There is only one road leading to Xiangling Town and Baixiang Village, but we went all the way out, but we did not meet their group, with their speed, it is impossible to have arrived in Xiangling Town, so we need to go back immediately. You sit tight. ”

Mu Jingzhu waved the reins, and the horses galloped on the path, galloping towards Xiangling Town.

Qu Youying looked at Mu Jingzhu's frowning eyebrows along the way, and her heart was also hesitant.

His instincts are very accurate, and usually what he expects will basically happen.

So she didn't speak, she just hoped to return to Xiangling Town as soon as possible.

The night became more and more intense with the passage of time.

The darkness covered all the light, except for the inexplicable fire.

Qu Youying looked at the direction of the firelight, and her heart tightened inexplicably, "Is there really an accident?" ”
