That day, the mighty soldier looked at the other three men and shook his head proudly.

"Bold minion, the person who is talking to you is Lord Yan Shiling, the prince of Nanshu and the prince of Shushanyi, Lord Maran Zhangxiu, are you blind? Still not on your knees?! Ali stood beside Maran Zhangxiu and shouted.

The four soldiers of the Tianwei Army looked at each other, only to see the seven-pointed silver star badge on Ma Lanzhangxiu's cloak shining silver, and then heard that he was the prince of the prince's grandson, they were taken aback, and knelt down together: "My lord, the little one who has eyes and does not know the prince, I hope to beg for forgiveness!" ”

The surrounding untouchables and civilians saw that the Tianwei army knelt down to the young man in front of them, although they didn't recognize who he was, but they didn't need to think to understand that this person was a high-ranking nobleman, so they knelt densely in the filthy mud.

The blind woman, though blind, heard everyone kneeling, and was anxious to kneel, but she did not know where to kneel.

Malan Zhangxiu took half a step forward, took the blind woman's hand, and asked the untouchables around her, "Does anyone know her?" ”

The blind woman was so frightened that she asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The woman who had been lying on the ground and weeping bitterly said: "The untouchables know that she is the wife of the blind Addo, who had lost her heart and gone mad many years ago." Sometimes I understand, sometimes I don't recognize anything, and I can only say a few words. ”

Malan Zhangxiu looked at the man lying on the ground lying in the black blood water, took out a golden shield and handed it to the woman, "Find someone to bury him, and give this blind woman a bite to eat." ”

The woman didn't take the golden shield in Ma Lan Zhangxiu's hand, and raised a hateful face and asked, "Are you the one who wants to buy our child?" They said that the Tianwei army had captured all our children and dumped them in the blood salt pool, and they were going to sell them to fight pirates. ”

"What?" Ma Lan Zhangxiu was puzzled, and kicked a Tianwei Army soldier who was kneeling on the ground: "Is there such a thing?" ”

Malan Zhangxiu put the golden shield in the hand of the crazy blind woman and sighed, "Go back, you." ”

The mad and blind woman wanted to see what she was holding in her hand, but when she came to see it, she couldn't see it, and muttered, "What's the matter?" ”

The woman lying on the ground got up, pulled the blind woman by the way, and pressed her to the ground and knelt: "Say thank you, sir." ”

The blind woman muttered, "What's wrong?" ”

Ma Lan Zhangxiu turned to look at the four Tianwei Army guards.

A soldier of the Heavenly Power Army bowed his head and replied, "The Heavenly Emperor has ordered that all the boys in Snow Blue City be sent to the Death Islands to defend the islands. ”

"Where are these boys now?" Ma Lan Zhangxiu grabbed the shoulder of a Tianwei Army soldier and shook it: "Whose order?!" ”

The soldier straightened up and said confidently: "His Royal Highness Ruide, the city lord of the Imperial Snow Blue City, the new Yufeng King, and the emperor's eldest son!" ”

Ma Lan Zhangxiu squinted at the soldiers, and said gloomily: "No matter how many titles His Highness Ruide has, if you don't let me in now, I guarantee that you won't see the next summer sun rising in the east tomorrow." Rise! Take three steps back! ”

The tall and sturdy Maran Zhangxiu was born with royal prestige, his face was cold, and his right hand stretched forward, giving military orders without hesitation.

It is said that Ma Lan Zhangxiu does not have the authority to directly order the soldiers of the Tianwei Army, but his natural dignity and supreme majesty make him naturally have the authority to be arrogant to others, how dare the little soldiers of the Tianwei Army offend?

The soldier couldn't help but step aside, the other three were slower, and Ahsan and Ali straightened their small bodies, trying to make themselves look taller, like their masters, and stood awe-inspiring in front.

The four Tianwei soldiers looked at each other, da, da, da, and the sound of slow footsteps sounded, and they all took three steps back.

Ma Lan Zhangxiu glanced at Tianwei Jun and stepped on the stirrup on the horse.

Ahsan and Ali led the horse slowly forward two steps, and after Malan Zhangxiu shook off the horse, he turned over and got on the horse.

The civilians and untouchables who were originally kneeling on the ground suddenly had a flash of inspiration, got up and rushed into the city with Ahsan and Ali, shouting as they ran: "Blood Salt Pool, let's go to Blood Salt Pool!" ”

Seeing a large number of civilians and untouchables pouring into the city, the four Tianwei soldiers could no longer stop it, and said in unison: "We are waiting to guard the city gate to perform official duties, and it is the Prince of Nanshu Malan who leads the people into the city to disrupt the city defense!" ”

"We are guarding the city gate to perform official duties, and it is the Prince of Nanshu Malan who leads the crowd into the city to disturb the city defense!"

The four Tianwei soldiers shouted loudly and in unison, and their voices became louder and louder.

Ma Lan Zhangxiu heard the shouting, looked back, didn't care about reasoning with them anymore, and ran towards the blood salt pool with his horse and whip.

Along the way, many civilians and untouchables ran behind Maran Zhangxiu's master and servant with shouts, and the crowd poured in the direction of the Blood Salt Pool.

The Blood Salt Pond was originally a large reservoir located in the southeast of Snow Blue City, which was dug in case of siege and wartime, or the torrential rain and torrents in Buting Mountain, which caused the water of the North and Yuan, Heyuan, and South Heyuan Salt Ponds with super high salt content to spread, affecting the fresh water of the residents of Snow Blue City.

For hundreds of years, this place, which was originally called the reservoir, became a famous blood salt pond in the 822nd year of the first red year of Rongzhou, because the Yufeng and Gezhi tribes were tragically destroyed and wiped out here.

In that year, the Great Hui Dynasty took advantage of the wedding of Yu Fengguang, the monarch and patriarch of the Yufeng tribe, who had just succeeded to the throne of Yufeng Kingdom, and Gezhi Yilu, the second princess of the Gezhi tribe, and led the Kadanlan cavalry in the north and the infantry of the Southern Shu Kingdom in the south to attack together.

Both countries are mountain people, and after receiving the good news of the wedding of the monarch and the princess, they have come out of the Buting Mountain in the north and south and the fierce snow-capped mountains in the westernmost part of Rongzhou, helping the old and the young, and coming to the Snow Blue City from all directions.

All the people of Yufeng Kingdom acted happily, they prepared delicious food and wine for the nobles of various countries who came to attend the wedding banquet, as well as Yufeng and Gezhi ethnic songs and dances, provided meals and accommodation for commoners and untouchables, and built porridge sheds to give soup and alms.

However, when the people of the Yufeng and Gezhi tribes entered the Snow Blue City, they walked into the cage set up by the Dahui Imperial Court, and the population of the two tribes was 30,000 people.

The Tianwei army selected 3,000 women and children from the captives to drown in the cistern, slaughtering 100 people every day, in order to deter Yufeng Guang and Gezhi Yilu from descending from the mountain of Gaiyushen. The spears on the head of Snow Blue City were filled with the young heads of children, and the cistern was soaked in the corpses of hundreds of children.

No one can remain indifferent to this tragic situation. Countless women were crying in the cistern with their headless children in their arms, while their men watched in chains.

Three days later, Yu Fengguang and his new wife, a couple cursed by the gods, knelt under the Snow Blue City, signed a letter of confession and surrender, and demanded that all the soldiers of the two clans who were still resisting in the Buting Mountain lay down their arms.

Since then, this cistern has been called the Blood Salt Pool, and when there is a drought, no one will drink a drop of the water even if it is full of water, and when it is flooded, no one will scold even though the water in this pond will overflow in all directions, flowing through the southeast city and winding away.

Everyone knows that the Blood Salt Pool is a place full of unjust souls, where countless mothers are heartbroken and hundreds of children's immature bodies are separated from each other.

The marriage of Yu Fengguang and Ge Zhi Yilu led to the death of a whole generation of boys of the two races.

And only eleven years later, the Great Hui Imperial Court issued another seven-star order, and the children born within seven days when the three-star quartet pattern was formed were thrown into the blood salt pool one by one.

Then, ten days, or twenty days, or even a month's time, boys, and even untouchables with seven children, were killed.

The Blood Salt Pool became a slaughterhouse for the commoners and untouchables of Snow Blue City. Their deposed monarch, Yu Fengguang, could only hide in the Buting Mountains and kneel on the ground, listening to the enemy's butcher's knife to cut off the heads of children like leeks.

Twenty-seven years later, when the Tianwei Army led by His Highness Ruide once again captured the children of Snow Blue City and threw them into the Blood Salt Pool, everyone would be crazy about the first two massacres.

When Ma Lan's black horse rushed to the side of the Blood Salt Pool, he jumped off his horse and threw the reins of the horse to Ali who came later. The strong horse made a nozzle, and the man neighed.

"Childe, slow down!" Ali shouted.

Ahsan rode his horse to arrive, jumped off his horse and threw the reins to Ali, and rushed into the pool of blood salt with Malan Zhangxiu.

"Hey, it's time for you to lead the horse today!" Ali roared in the back, apparently Ahsan heard but ignored it.

"What are you doing?!" When the two Tianwei soldiers saw someone breaking into the blood salt pool, their spears suddenly stabbed over: "His Royal Highness Ruide has an order, no one is allowed to trespass on the forbidden land!" ”

Malan Zhangxiu stretched out his hand and grabbed the two spears, forcing him to look at Tianwei Jun: "Did His Highness Ruide say that I can't come to my house slave either?" ”

The two Tianwei soldiers tried to drag back the spear, but found that the aristocratic prince in front of them was extremely powerful, and neither of them was his opponent.

Ah Shan stood beside Ma Lan Zhangxiu, and sang with his head held high: "Bold slave, the person who is talking to you is Lord Yan Shiling, the prince of Nanshu and the prince of Shushanyi, Lord Ma Lan Zhangxiu, are you blind?" Still not on your knees?! ”

The two Tianwei soldiers opened their mouths, let go of their spears, and knelt down on one knee with two plops: "I've seen His Royal Highness Prince Malan!" ”

Maran Zhangxiu let go of the spear.

The two Tianwei soldiers were hit back by the elastic force after Ma Lan Zhangxiu let go, tilted their heads back, fell to the ground, and got up to kneel again.

Among the five or six Tianwei Army soldiers who were guarding the prisoners next to him, they walked out of the former Snow Blue City Wolf Tooth Guard Dutong Lie Mountain Rock and knelt down on one knee: "I've seen Childe, I don't know what happened to Childe here?!" ”

Ma Lan Zhangxiu looked at the flaming lion totem embroidered on his chest on the armor of Lieshan Rock, and grinned: "This son also said that the sky has become fast, it turns out that this Lieshan Yan general has been stationed in Snow Blue City for ten years, and he will also change from a wolf to a lion in one day." ”

Lie Shan Yan said with a calm face: "Since His Royal Highness Ruide arrived, there are no wolf fangs in Snow Blue City. All the wolf fangs are under the unified deployment of the Tianwei Army. ”

Ma Lan Zhangxiu smiled cynically: "Okay, anyway, the Ma Lan clan has been in charge of this land for a long time." ”

Malan Zhangxiu said as she walked towards the Blood Salt Pool.

Lieshan Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed Ma Lan Zhangxiu: "Childe, here are all iron-branded untouchables and wooden lock civilians, Childe's status is noble, this place is dirty, I am afraid of staining Childe's boots." ”

Ma Lan Zhangxiu put her face in front of Lieshan Yan's eyes, and said word by word: "You can change the master at any time, the house slave of this son has not changed the master yet!" ”

Lieshan Yan gasped and flashed sideways.

Dozens or hundreds of children were crowded in the blood salt pool, and some parents who were reluctant to have children, most of them poor iron pariahs and wooden lock civilians, also crowded in the pool to accompany their children. The dark pool water was chest-deep, and everyone was half-soaked in the pool, crying and shouting endlessly.

Maran Zhangxiu set her eyes on the crowded people in the blood salt pool, looking for Ah Lan and Ah Hong, and said gloomily:

"My father just submitted his resignation, and you took my house slaves? Even if my father is not an official in Snow Blue City, he is also a member of the Nanshu royal family, and this son is also the prince of the prince, how can you be humiliated? ”

"The villain doesn't dare!" Lieshan Yan walked half a step behind Ma Lan Zhangxiu, and said respectfully, "I don't know why Zhangxiu's house slave was arrested?" ”

"Dog minion, Prince Ben wants to ask you too!" Ma Lan Zhangxiu was stunned, shook the horsewhip in his hand fiercely, and slapped it heavily on Lieshan Yan's body.

Lieshan Rock remained motionless.

Maran Zhangxiu was still angry and searched for Ah Lan and Ah Hong along the edge of the blood salt pool.
