Chapter 6: Xingrou Asks for Death to Kill the Demon
"Protect King Yi, everyone follow closely, don't get separated~!" Xingrou shouted, in the case of the enemy in the dark, I can only be cautious.
Ah Jun was pale and sandwiched in the middle of the team. He had seen the corpse just now, and he was probably terrified. But it's stronger than she expected, and she's calm on her face.
Sure enough, after walking for another while, a second body was found. Everyone fell into a tense atmosphere, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.
"It's the Yunguo that gave us the dismount, right?" The crowd began to whisper.
"I heard that the people of Yun Kingdom have blue faces and fangs and live on the blood of living people, these people must have been sucked by their blood~"
"It is said that the people of Yunguo are highly poisonous, and if you touch it, it will turn into pus~"
The crowd began to talk in a whisper, and the more they talked, the more outrageous they became.
"Don't be nervous, if the people of Yunguo want to harm us, they won't wait until now to do it, in my opinion, it won't be the people of Yunguo who did it, and the murderer has another "person"! Now that we are so many of us, he does not dare to come out and attack us blatantly. I said loudly, silencing the whispers.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! In the eerie atmosphere, I suddenly remembered the crisp high-five.
"The girl is really smart." A warm voice sounded, before the person arrived, the voice came first.
The nerves that everyone had collapsed very tightly just now were shocked by this voice, and they all roared: "Who? β
A white figure flew over and landed a foot away from the group.
"I am Zhuge Xiuzhu, the protector of Cloud China, the high priest sent me to His Royal Highness King Yi, recently the monsters of Cloud China have been infested, I am afraid of hurting His Highness, but I didn't expect to be a step late, and the demon hurt people again."
The man who called himself Zhuge Xiuzhu stood tall, wearing a white robe, and his waist-length hair was also snow-white, emitting a faint luster. The skin is as delicate as porcelain, and when you stand there, the whole person is white and glowing, and the whole body is covered with light. A sentence involuntarily appeared in Xingrou's mind: Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.
His voice is warm and thick, which makes people feel a sense of trust when they hear it. The commotion of the crowd seemed to be intimidated by his temperament, and suddenly fell silent. It is said that Yun China is an uncivilized barbarian nation, but I didn't expect there to be such outstanding characters.
After he saw Yi Wang Xianjun without being humble or arrogant, he led the way in front. A faint purple smoke popped out of his fingertips, spreading through the air and gradually growing larger, enveloping everyone. Everyone knows that the people of Cloud China are good at using poison, and Xue Mingzhu asked uneasily: "What is this?" β
Zhuge Xiuzhu smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry, everyone, this is a medicinal qi that tends to avoid monsters~ It is harmless to people." I don't know why, but his voice seems to have the power to deceive people, and when he says this, everyone feels at ease.
Because of this accident, everyone accelerated the speed of their march, and by the evening, they had already arrived at the capital of the Cloud Country.
Unlike what everyone imagined, this exotic southern Xinjiang is not a barren land, and the prosperity of its city is not inferior to Haojing, the capital of the Great Yu Emperor, but it lacks the glitz of Haojing.
King Yi and Xingrou and their entourage walked to the Wufu Palace, the palace of the high priest of Yun China, Yulu Yundan Gongpo, and saw two teams of honor guards greeting each other from a distance. At the end of the procession was a man wearing a golden mask with an intricately carved cloud country totem and a circle of fine purple gems around his eye sockets, which stood out in the setting sun. The lips exposed under the mask were ruddy, and the eyes behind the mask were actually heterochromatic pupils, one purple and one blue, revealing a cold and unruly look.
The high priest of Cloud China is actually a woman! Xingrou was secretly surprised in her heart.
Later, I learned that Yun China was inhabited by a number of small number of famous clans, and most of them were matrilineal clans, and the high priests of the past dynasties were all reincarnated saints who were selected at birth, and were trained to become the successors of the high priests from an early age.
The Delirium is polyandry, and the high priest can appoint a male queen and take male concubines. However, I heard that the current high priest Yu Yu is still unmarried, not to mention the concubine, and the queen is not married.
Yu Yu is sixteen this year, and he has long passed the marriageable age, but he has been reluctant to accept a concubine, which is said to have caused dissatisfaction among many ministers of Yun Kingdom.
But Yu is frugal and loves the people, Ren Xian is innovative, and is determined to seek governance, under her governance, in just two years, the lives of the people of Yunguo have been greatly improved, except for the private life can not satisfy those courtiers, nothing else can really be faulted. The people also loved her very much.
Zhuge Xiuzhu introduced Yu Yu to the King of Yi, according to the etiquette system, the King of Yi represented Da Yu, and Yu Yu gave the King of Yi a pilgrimage of the vassals. Although King Yi looked like he was just a child, Yu Yu did not slack off.
Then they handed over the documents, exchanged gifts, and after the process was completed, because the team could not enter the palace, the protocol department arranged to stay in Datongyi.
King Yi, Xing Rou and Xue Mingzhu entered the palace to attend a dinner specially prepared to welcome King Yi. Xingrou's claim to Yun Guo is Zhan Xianjun's master.
It is said that there is no good feast.
King Yi was naΓ―ve and ignorant, and probably didn't think about it so much, so he wasn't particularly nervous. Xingrou has experienced many dangers, so naturally she will not be afraid. It was Xue Mingzhu, with a stiff face and a restrained expression.
Xingrou comforted, "Commander Xue doesn't have to be nervous. Even if Yu Yu wants to deal with us, he will not be in a hurry at this time. She can govern the country so well, she will not be a big-minded person. Just now I observed her micro-expression, and when I saw King Yi, I relaxed for a moment, I should have felt that King Yi was not a threat to her. So we're safe for the time being, and we'll just wait and see. β
Xue Mingzhu nodded and did not speak.
The banquet was full of singing and dancing, staggered and peaceful. As Xingrou expected, there was no accident.
During the conversation, they learned that there was a demon beast that was invulnerable to all poisons in the suburbs of Yun China recently, and many people in the city had been killed when they left the city, and they were all in the shape of dry corpses after death, which was very weird.
The master sent out by Yu Yu to hunt down the demon beast did not survive a lifetime, and this matter gave her a headache.
Zhuge Xiuzhu had been sleepless for months, and after studying the corpse, he made a purple mist that could avoid demon beasts. However, this rule of law does not cure the root cause, and the raw materials for making purple mist are also rare, which is not at all affordable for ordinary people.
Yu Yu has already sent a list of soldiers, if he can strangle the demon beast, add officials to the knighthood, and reward countless treasures. Although there must be brave men under the heavy reward, but the list can be released for several months, but no one dares to unveil the list, after all, no matter how much wealth you have, you have to keep your life.
After hearing this, Xingrou thought for a while, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if I can get rid of this evil for the people of Yunguo, can I not want gold and silver treasures, only Your Majesty promises me one condition!" β
Zhan Xianjun and Xue Mingzhu looked at her in surprise, they didn't know where her confidence was, looking at the small body that could be blown down by the wind, and daring to challenge the demon beast.
Yu Yu was probably also sick and rushed to the doctor, and when he heard Xingrou say this, he was surprised: "Oh? The widow was clumsy, and he didn't see it, it turned out that Miss Wan was a master. If you have any conditions, if you can eliminate harm for the people of Yunguo, let me give up this palace~"
