Chapter Seventy-Three: The Sacrifice

"It's just acquaintance."

"So it's not like there's nothing to talk about."

Maybe the night in the desert was too quiet, maybe Ji Hao felt that some words were nothing even if he said something to Jin Yu, a child, so he nodded.

"We have only known each other since childhood, otherwise the important ministers of the court will not have too much to do with Taiji Palace."

After all, His Majesty is still more taboo that Taiji Palace and the imperial court are too involved.

Jin Yu looked at Ji Hao in surprise when she heard this, aren't all the saints in Taiji Palace like herself, because of sacrifices, so they became saints?

"You've known each other since childhood? Could it be that the sacrifice will not be made with a young lady from a wealthy family? ”

"Sacrifice? I don't understand what you're saying? ”

"How did Tosan become a saint?"

"One day, Wuji suddenly came to the door and said that she was guided by the gods to lead Duosang into the Taiji Palace, and she was fourteen years old that year."

What Ji Hao didn't say was that if it weren't for Taiji Palace's intervention, he and Duosang would probably get engaged.

"It turns out that you can become a saint in this way, I thought that the saints of Taiji Palace would be like me." Jin Yu lay on Ji Hao's solid shoulder, and his tone was lonely.

Ji Hao didn't want to ask, but after half an hour of walking, Jin Yu, who had been chattering like a bird, suddenly quieted down, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Although you are not the youngest saintess in the history of Taiji Palace, you are one of the few who are relatively young."

"Really? ”

"Hmm."

"Then they are all the same as Tosan, not through sacrifice, but only by the Father, so they became saints?"

Ji Hao was silent for a while, because he came to a conclusion through Jin Yu's words that she did not become a saint by the usual means of the Taiji Palace.

Although Jin Yu did not appear many times in the imperial court in the outside world, Jin Yu, who was only ten years old, performed better than Duo Sang, who had been a saint in Taiji Palace for a year, so they naturally thought that Jin Yu must have come out of a certain big-name hidden family, after all, there was no situation where the daughter disappeared or was taken away by Taiji Palace in the entire Dafeng family.

And the word sacrifice, which is not a good word.

"Can you tell me how you were found by the national teacher and became the Holy Maiden of Wuji Palace?"

The corners of Jin Yu's mouth hooked slightly, and he was finally interested in himself.

"There was a great drought in my hometown, and the people were struggling to make a living, so the priest decided to offer a virgin and three animals as a gift to the river god. I was joined by two other girls, one of whom died when he was pushed down the river, and the other who fell off a cliff and fell to his death, and I was the only one left. ”

Jin Yu put his arms around Ji Hao's neck and continued: "I thought I was dead when I was tied to a wooden pillar and fell from the cliff and waterfall, but I survived. When I climbed out of the lake, Yafu and the people of Taiji Palace were already waiting for me by the lake, and as soon as I came out, they called me a saint. ”

Ji Hao looked in the direction of the Big Dipper, it was originally like this.

Does that mean that the fate of this little saint and Taiji Palace is not so deep.

Ji Hao thought of the fact that Duosang was killed in the Heavenly God Valley by the people of Taiji Palace, and thought of the words that His Majesty said to him.

Taiji Palace, is it really necessary to exist?

"Where is your hometown?"

"I don't know, I just know it's called Huangquan Town."

Speaking of which, when Jin Yu first heard this name, he always felt that the name of this town was not very auspicious.

"Huangquan Town, I really haven't heard of it. Do you have anything more iconic there? ”

"Priests, altars, loess, yellow rivers."

"Is a priest the same as a national teacher?"

"No, I hate those priests."

Ji Hao listened to the disgust in Jin Yu's mouth, maybe he knew where the breakthrough point was.

"Whew~"

"Whoa~"

Ji Hao's back suddenly stiffened, and Jin Yu also straightened his body silently.

In front of the two of them, a pair of green eyes suddenly appeared, and when they looked closely, it turned out to be a group of wolves walking towards Ji Hao and Jin Yu in the desert.

"What should I do?" Jin Yu said a little anxiously.

However, her tone was in a hurry, and the expression on her face was calm.

There are about fifteen or sixteen wolves in this group, and they will not be their opponents together, and they are estimated to be Ji Hao's opponents.

Jin Yu likes to show weakness in front of Ji Hao, just as weak as he thought.

"Run!"

"I'll come down!"

Jin Yu didn't wait for Ji Hao to refuse, and jumped directly from Ji Hao's body, at this life-threatening moment, she could still see the situation very clearly.

Ji Hao didn't speak, and when the two turned around and ran back, Ji Hao pulled out his long knife from his waist, and Jin Yu followed closely by Ji Hao's side.

"Don't look back, run hard!"

The group of wolves behind them immediately chased after the two of them fled in the desert, and it has to be said that the four-legged one ran faster than the two-legged one.

After a while, the distance between this group of wolves and Ji Hao and Jin Yu was less than twenty meters, and if this continued, the two of them would catch up sooner or later.

Ji Hao suddenly stopped, he raised the knife in his hand to face the wolves, and shouted to Jin Yu, who also stopped beside him: "Run!" ”

"But!"

"If you stay, you'll only hold me back, run quickly, the farther you run, the better!"

Jin Yu glanced at Ji Hao and continued to run forward.

It's just that she didn't run too far, and after running a few hundred meters, Jin Yu stopped, turned around and listened to the various screams of the wolves in the distance.

She knew that the wolves would not be the opponents of Ji Hao, who had practiced martial arts since childhood and had strong martial arts, but it was impossible for Ji Hao to come out of this battle unscathed, and finally got involved with Ji Hao, so that Ji Hao was successfully interested in herself, and she couldn't lose this opportunity.

Jin Yu: What is the progress of General Ji Hao's strategy now?

System: The progress of General Ji Hao is now 5%.

Okay, although it hasn't gone up much, but at least the number has moved.

Ji Hao's side is just like Jin Yu thought, although this group of wolves is not his opponent, he still inevitably suffered a lot of injuries, the deepest wound was on his left leg, and he was almost bitten off a piece of meat by a wolf.

The group of wolves was not stupid, seeing the death of so many companions, the man in front of him was still standing in place, and the evil aura on his body was getting heavier and heavier, so they no longer rushed forward, but surrounded Ji Hao's side and roared, glaring, and finally after Ji Hao killed another wolf that rushed up, all the wolves began to retreat tacitly.

Their leader is dead, and there is no need to continue.

They won't be the match for the man in front of them.

After the rest of the wolves left, Ji Hao still stood in place for a long time, until he couldn't hear the sound of the wolves at all, and then let himself kneel on the ground with a long knife.

The blood on his legs and body disappeared immediately when he fell on the desert, leaving only a lump of sand in place.

At this time, footsteps sounded again not far away, and Ji Hao clenched the long knife and looked up.
