Chapter 17: Sacrifice
Three days after Yan Wuling came back, the king asked Uncle Ming to bring someone to meet him, Yan Wuling thought that this was another Hongmen banquet, and he cheered up to deal with it.
As a result, the king was unexpectedly enthusiastic, "Miss Ming, Ruoyan treated you a lot before, and I hope the girl doesn't mind, this banquet, first, is to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the girl, and second, as an apology to the girl!" ”
Such a modest attitude made Yan Wuling subconsciously more vigilant and defensive, "The king is polite!" Yan Wuling was ashamed and didn't dare to be. ”
Uncle Ming watched the two of them come and go, and after three rounds of drinking, he received the king's eyes, and raised his glass to Yan Wuling and said, "It's not a secret, this time I took the liberty to invite the girl to the Northern Desert, and I really asked for something." ”
Yan Wuling put down the wine glass, looked at Uncle Ming and said in surprise, "It turns out that you invited me here?" ”
This is a blatant irony!
At the beginning, the attitude of a few people seemed to be about to eat Yan Wuling!
Uncle Ming's embarrassment flashed, and it was only a moment, and he returned to normal, "Girl, please forgive me, this matter is a secret matter of my Northern Desert, and it is inconvenient to say more in the Imperial Heaven Academy, so it is a tougher attitude." ”
Yan Wuling is now clear, these two people have a request for her!
"Is there something wrong with the king?" Yan Wuling couldn't stand the two of them coming around in a roundabout way, so he asked straight to the ground.
The king coughed, and then said, "The girl successfully sacrificed the Demon God Sword, because I want to ask the girl to sacrifice for my Northern Desert to solve the food shortage." ”
"Sacrifice?" Yan Wuling was puzzled, Uncle Ming hurriedly explained to her, "I think the girl has seen her all the way, there is something strange in the Northern Desert now, resulting in the inability to produce food, all of this is really related to the foggy hairpin, as long as the girl is willing to sacrifice, you can use my Northern Desert secret method to solve the food shortage." ”
Yan Wuling raised his eyes, with distrust in his eyes, "If you listen to the sacrifice, it's not very safe." ”
The king hurriedly said, "Don't worry, girl, there is absolutely no danger to your life!" ”
Yan Wuling looked at the two of them 'eyeing each other', thought for a while, and then pretended to agree, "Since that's the case, I'll help with this!" However, if you say yes, there is no danger! ”
Uncle Ming smiled slightly, "Girl, don't worry!" ”
And Yan Wuling chose to agree, but it was just to promise the two of them, so that she could stay in the palace smoothly, and as a sacrificer, her status was different from that of the previous prisoner.
In this way, she can start to search for Mingyue's whereabouts at night.
……
Xu was because she agreed to the sacrifice, Uncle Ming arranged her to the Dongdu Palace, the location was excellent, and there were a lot more palace maids, and Qing'er and Xiaohong were still serving her.
However, Qing'er didn't dare to do anything blatantly to monitor now, and was much more polite to Yan Wuling, and accompanied Yan Wuling all day long, and did not complain.
On this day, Yan Wuling walked to a large hall in the west, which stood majestically, but it was deserted, unguarded, and lifeless.
Yan Wuling glanced at it, raised her feet and was about to go inside, but Xiaohong immediately stopped her, "Girl, you can't go in here at will." ”
Yan Wuling was deliberately surprised, "Haven't I been able to wander around casually these days?" Why can't you enter here? ”
Because Xiaohong was simple-minded, Yan Wuling deliberately took Qing'er away today, and then let Xiaohong lead her around, and after walking for so many days, Qing'er and several people thought she was a hillbilly and entered the city, and she hadn't seen the market, so she lowered her guard.
"The girl doesn't know, this is the forbidden place of our Northern Desert, and this palace can't be entered and exited at will." Xiaohong hurriedly pulled Yan Wuling and walked out, looking cautious.
Yan Wuling didn't refuse, talking to Xiaohong, his eyes looked around, surveying the terrain.
"Since this is a forbidden place, why don't you even have a guard?" Yan Wuling said curiously, "And only this palace has no name, could it be...... Is it a cold palace? ”
Xiaohong sighed, and only after the two of them were some distance away from the palace did she pat her chest, as if she was frightened.
"Girl, this forbidden place has no name." She seemed to be a little hesitant, and when she met Yan Wuling's puzzled eyes, she quickly turned her head again, "There are no guards, naturally because there are no guards." ”
Yan Wuling was curious, and then asked, "Why don't you need it?" ”
Xiaohong glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "Girl, don't ask!" The more you know about the things in this palace, the worse it is for the girl. ”
Yan Wuling glanced at her, didn't say anything more, only yawned, "That's it, I'm tired of shopping today, let's go back and rest first." ”
Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly welcomed the person away, and looked left and right when he left, seeing that there was no movement here, these left steadily.
Yan Wuling took in her small movements, smiled as if her lips were nothing, and slowly followed Xiaohong back to the East Decisive Palace.
When Qing'er saw the two of them coming back, she hurriedly smiled and said, "The girl is back!" Lunch is ready, the girl goes to wash up first, and I'm going to pass the meal! ”
