Chapter 111: The River God's Sacrifice

Isn't there some spy in the city?

Yan Wangbei's sharp eyes swept over, and the body of the woman who was caught shrank for a moment, and she opened her eyes in embarrassment.

Yan Wangbei looked at the steamed bun in his hand, and understood what was going on in an instant, and he didn't gnaw on the remaining half of the steamed bun, and as soon as he threw it into the sky, he was taken by the eagle who had been waiting for a long time.

"The north is bitterly cold, and the peach blossoms can't bloom." He meant it.

Jun Chen was confused by the sudden palpitations in his heart before, and suddenly heard Yan Wangbei say this, and was slightly puzzled: "What? ”

Yan Wangbei looked at the cage of steamed buns and raised his eyebrows at him.

Jun Chen suddenly realized something, and his face turned cold almost instantly, "Battles are frequent, and tomorrow I will order that women and children in the city are not allowed to approach the city tower again." ”

Yan Wangbei naturally knew what Jun Chen's seemingly high-sounding reason was for, and he really had a wolf-like sense of smell for everything, but he said: "Don't, the women and children in the city don't come, who will bring food to my soldiers." ”

Jun Chen threw out an ice blade from the bottom of his eyes, "I did such a thing as escaping." ”

Yan Wangbei was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

The goshawk swooping down in the inky sky dome landed firmly on Jun Chen's shoulder, and Jun Chen ignored Yan Wangbei, and took out the letter paper to look at it.

Yan Wangbei didn't know what this kid was crazy about, so he had to say: "Anyway, this is outside, can you save some face for me, the coach?" ”

Jun Chen finally looked at him: "I promised Jun Xi to go back alive, if you can't win this battle, I naturally have to go back to her as a deserter." ”

Yan Wangbei blocked his heart in one breath, glared at the copper bell, and only gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence after half a sound: "With you, how can you not win?" Isn't it okay for me to order tomorrow that women and children in the city are not allowed to come? ”

This wolf cub is threatening him!

Jun Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, for the sentence "Marshal is cautious!" ”

Yan Wangbei grinned and sat down on the battlements of the city wall, "I'm telling the truth, you are more suitable for this position than me." His eyes scattered into the boundless night, and he said: "Lao Tzu wants to go into battle to kill the enemy quickly, and it should be a person like you who has turned hundreds of bends in his intestines behind his back." ”

Jun Chen was about to say something, but his heart suddenly throbbed again, and he covered the position of his heart, his face was a little painful.

Yan Wangbei was startled, and hurriedly jumped off the battlement of the city wall to help him: "What's wrong?" ”

His dark eyes slowly dyed scarlet, and he said word by word: "Jun-Xi-"

Lin'an Town

Babao and the others braved the rain to go to the backyard, and the doctor in Chiyun rode the little girl with a needle, and the little girl stopped convulsing.

"Is she a goat?" Seven Joy asked.

It was Chiyunqi's accompanying military doctor who applied the needle, and put the needles of several big holes on the little girl's body back into the leather bag, and his eyebrows and eyes were Shen Jun: "She is in good health, I temporarily sealed several of her big holes." ”

Qixi doesn't understand the words of the military doctor, since he is in good health, why is he foaming at the mouth again? "But she just knows ......?"

The military doctor said: "Her pulse is the same, and the old man has never seen such symptoms in decades of medical practice." ”

Aunt Mo sneered: "I want to see what a great thing a little Lin'an Town has!" ”

Qixi's face was also a little heavier, and she suddenly remembered something, she asked, "By the way, Aunt Mo, how do you know that this maid has been to the pond?" ”

"The mud marks on her shoes are new, and there is moss on the mud, and there should only be moss on the pond in the whole house." Aunt Mo said.

Qixi couldn't sit still and decided to go to Babao's side to help.

The pouring rain outside the house did not stop at all, and Qixi suddenly stopped when he passed by the verandah.

The martial arts practitioner's ears were extremely strong, and although the sound of rain was masking him, Qixi still heard intermittent cries coming from inside the house.

"She's back, she must be back......"

"First Xiaoxiang, then Xiaomei, and now the guests from the house have also been sucked in......"

Qixi took a look and was sure that this was the wing room where the servants of the mansion lived.

The guests in the mansion, aren't they the county lords?

Qixi silently approached the wing, it was already completely dark, and the cold wind mixed with the rain blew obliquely, falling on the face, with a coolness.

For some reason, at night, the house suddenly fell silent, as if it were ...... There's nothing to breathe.

As soon as this thought crossed Qixi's mind, he heard the woman in the wing room crying: "Don't talk about it, don't invite her!" ”

"I heard that Xiaocha suddenly poured it today, I don't know if Xiaocha can survive tonight......"

There was another cry.

Small tea? The servant girl who just went crazy?

The rain seemed to be heavier, and in a trance, he was in the rain curtain of the sky, the night was cold and dewy, and Qixi only felt a chill in his heart.

She stretched out her hand and poked a hole in the screen window, and saw a candle lit on the low table in the room, and several maidservants sitting together, all with miserable expressions on their faces.

"Why didn't she let us go, why didn't she let us go!" One of the maidservants, probably frightened enough, cried out in a terrible voice.

Someone next to her immediately went to cover her mouth, also with a frightened look, and muttered: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, and she can't take revenge on us......"

Obviously, I don't believe much of this.

The cold wind hit from the back, a cold hand slapped on the shoulder, Qixi's cold hair stood up, and while turning to avoid that hand, the dagger in his hand came out of the sheath and slashed.

"It's me!" A deep voice sounded.

Qixi's tense nerves were loosened, and it was eleven.

"Why are you here too?" Qixi just put the dagger back into the sheath, turned around and walked back: "This mansion is very weird, let's go find Mo...... Uh......"

Qixi's face was stunned, but the person had already fallen softly.

The man picked up Qixi, and a bright white lightning slammed across the sky in the dark night, illuminating his fairy-like side face and his dark purple eyes.

What landed in place was a human skin mask as thin as a cicada's wings.

Thin angular lips hooked: "The seventh." ”

……

Aunt Mo soon found out that Qixi was also gone, and Babao and his party braved the heavy rain and carried torches to check in the backyard for a long time, but they didn't find a place that looked like a secret passage.

Aunt Mo was so angry that she slashed a table, and angrily broke into the mayor's residence.

Unexpectedly, so late, the mayor didn't sleep, and when Aunt Mo broke in, he was kneeling in front of the futon with his hands folded, bowing to the image of Guanyin hanging on the wall.

"You...... What are you doing in the middle of the night breaking into my room? Panic flashed across the mayor's face.

Aunt Mo was worried about Jun Xi's safety, and she was too lazy to waste her words with this person, and the tip of the spear flashing with cold light approached the door of the town mayor, and shouted: "At this time, don't talk about those who have and don't!" Tell me honestly, where is the county lord? ”

"What county lord, I don't know? Is that the girl in red with you? My mansion is so big, and you've turned it upside down, so how do I know where she went? The mayor looked at the shiny tip of the spear and his heart trembled.

Aunt Mo's eyes sharpened, and with a split of the spear, the table next to the melon and fruit plate was split in half.

The mayor's pupils shrank.

Aunt Mo didn't mean to take it back, and looked at the mayor: "Do you want to taste the taste of the Jun family's spear?" I'm afraid you can't stand this old bone! ”

"Jun ...... Jun family? Are you the soldiers of King Changxian? The mayor's tone was tinged with surprise and trembling.

Aunt Mo's eyes changed.

At that time, Jun Changxian fought in all directions, and his prestige was far and wide, and when the court had not named him the king of Zhenbei, the people had always called him the king of Changxian.

For the god of war prince of Chu State, most of the people still worship him like a god in their hearts.

Aunt Mo looked at the mayor's gaze for a moment.

But the mayor of the town sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, and cried out, "Do evil, do evil...... What am I doing......"

"Let's make it clear, what happened to my county lord?" Aunt Mo shouted angrily, and Babao on the side was also nervous.

"Go to the City God Temple! It should be too late to go! The mayor was incoherent and tearful.

At night, the heavy door of the mansion opened, and several horses broke into the rain.

"I really want to kill that bad old man!" Eight treasures on horseback gritted their teeth.

Aunt Mo's face sank like water, and her breath around her body was pressing.

Eleven lips pursed into a cold straight line.

The mayor's words kept ringing in the ears of several people.

"Lin'an Town has a big water every year, three years ago a goddess passed by here, saying that as long as every year at the beginning of spring, prepare three beautiful girls to offer to the river god, the river god will not send a big water. Originally, no one believed it at first, but that year there happened to be a few girls who were ruined by Li County's order, and they sought their own death and threw themselves into the river, but there was really no big water that year. The townspeople had to believe it. ”

"But Li County ordered that faction, where did the girl with a sign at home dare to stay in Lin'an County, and the whole family ran away, and last year there was no sacrifice to the river god, but there was a big flood in the early spring of last year, and hundreds of acres of fertile land were flooded...... We are also forced to not sacrifice to the river god, and this year there will be a big flood...... The goddess said that she didn't sacrifice to the river god last year, the river god was already angry, and this year's sacrifice needs nine beautiful girls, where do we go to find nine beautiful girls, that is, I found it, and people don't want to sacrifice, for the sake of the entire townspeople in Lin'an Town, I had to take the maids in my house to sacrifice and make up rumors of haunting to them...... The girl you're walking with...... It is exactly the same as the goddess on the mural of the City God Temple, the goddess said that she is the reincarnation of the goddess, and she should be the wife of the river god, and only by sacrificing her will the river god not send a big flood again......"

Aunt Mo has fought on the battlefield all her life, she has never heard of any ghosts and strange tales, and even the two armies are fighting, and sometimes she will specially release rumors of ghosts and gods to disturb the hearts of the enemy army.

Naturally, she wouldn't believe the mayor's nonsense.

I only hated it in my heart, and I was careful all the way, but I didn't expect it to be a hundred secrets.

If Jun Xi really has any mistakes, she will be afraid to apologize for her guilt with death, and she will not be able to escape the blame!

The white lightning tore through the dark sky, reflecting the pouring rain, and a boom of thunder sounded, as if ringing in everyone's hearts, and the horses' hooves made a half-man-high splash, and the night rain soaked their clothes, and the cold was to the bone.

In the darkness, Jun Xi slowly opened his eyes, saw the handsome person standing in front of him, and said in a daze: "Brother?!" ”
