Chapter 65: Bai Yu's identity
"We have always been priests, and each generation of priests is the guardian of the new lord of the kingdom, and is responsible for the prayer and sacrifice of the country. However, the former lord of the country died of a sudden illness, leaving only a princess, and there was no child to succeed to the throne, and the status of our double-eyed birds gradually declined. Bai Yu sighed again, and continued: "Later, the king of the Great Vulture Feifei led his troops to attack, and the Great Vulture was originally a strong clan in the desert, they were tall and fierce. We were defeated one after another, and the previous high priest committed another great transgression in divination, and we were deprived of our priestly duties. β
Phantom: "And then?"
Later, Fei Fei was about to win, but when he captured the royal city, he suddenly stopped his army, and he asked for peace talks. β
"Peace talks?" Phantom Wu was puzzled: "He is going to win, why do you want to negotiate peace?"
Bai Yu said indignantly: "He is a vicious person, he led troops to attack, in fact, he simply forced our princess to marry him!"
"I see, the soldiers of Xingyi did not hesitate to make a big move, it turned out to be for the beauty. He loves you princess so much?" sighed, although this idea was wrong, how could it bring a bit of heroic romance?
Bai Yu looked at her and interrupted her conjecture: "He is not good to our princess at all!"
Phantom glanced at him, "How do you know?"
"I ...... If he is good to our princess, how can the princess be unconscious!
Phantom Wu looked at Bai Yu like this, and raised his eyebrows: "How do you kid feel like you have been robbed of your daughter-in-law." β
"How can there be?!" Bai Yu exploded his hair and looked at Phantom Wu carefully: "I just respect Her Royal Highness the princess, as a priest...... The former priest family is just upset for the princess. β
"Speaking of which, who are you priests now?"
Bai Yu looked at Fan Xiaotan, who was pestering Chang Jue in front of him, and said in a low voice: "It's the elder of the Qinyuan clan, what is it called, Fan Xiaotan is his subordinate." β
"Qin Yuan?" Phantom Wu touched his chin and thought for a moment, "It's the kind of bird that looks like a giant bee?"
Bai Yu was so angry that his mouth puffed up: "That's right! It's the kind of thing that the four are not like, the mandarin duck is not like the mandarin duck, and the bee is not like the bee, and they are not worthy of being a divine bird at all!"
Phantom Wu looked at him and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, yes, yes, not worthy, let's go meet that Lu Li or something this time, see what kind of bird he is!"
She looked at the figure in front of her, that was the real divine bird, and she didn't know what kind of chance he would have when he entered the territory of the Yu clan this time. With his ears, he must have heard what they said just now, right?
But...... She glanced at the woman in black beside Chang Jue, she had been talking to Chang Jue just now, he might not be able to hear what they were talking about.
My heart was a little panicked.
Phantom Wu exhaled deeply, looking into the distance and gradually revealing the outline of the city.
The royal city of the Yu clan is right in front of you.
The royal city of the Yu clan is called Hui Yu, it is the largest city in the whole Qizhi, and the vermilion city wall that stretches for miles rises in the golden desert, like a great man who is independent of heaven and earth, looking at the glorious and desolate past of this land alone.
Because of Fan Xiaotan, several people really entered the city smoothly, and the guards at the city gate were respectful to Fan Xiaotan, and they didn't dare to look up and take a look.
Bai Yu pursed his lips, thinking that the power of this priest's hall was so great in less than half a month, and he didn't know what Lu Li had done in secret.
"Xiaotan, take us into the palace quickly!" Fan Xiaotan took a few people to the highest restaurant in Huiyu City, and leisurely ordered the little maid to go up here and there, and he didn't look anxious at all.
"Seeing that I am useful, I am even affectionate. Fan Xiaotan propped his chin and looked at Bai Yu with a smile, "But I can't help it if you're in a hurry, the palace is not a priest's hall, and it's not something I can go to if I want to, and I bring such a large group of people." β
"What should I do then?" Bai Yu scratched his ears and cheeks, he came with a dream doctor from thousands of miles away, and this is all about to kick the door, but the door is there, and he can't get in, what can he do?
Fan Xiaotan didn't answer, and only focused on giving Chang Jue a dish: "Brother Ah Jue, eat this, this is the signature dish of this restaurant, it's the best!"
Chang Jue glanced at the dishes in his bowl and picked them up and ate them.
Fan Xiaotan's eyes narrowed with joy.
Phantom Wu was hungry for a long time, but a table of delicacies tasted like chewing wax at the moment, she hung her head and ate by herself.
A hand reached out in front of his eyes, and there was an extra piece of lamb in the bowl that looked incomparably delicious.
She raised her head and saw Changjue looking at her: "I tried it, it's quite delicious, try it." β
"Oh. Phantom Wu looked at Changjue blankly, and then looked at her bowl, and caught a glimpse of Fan Xiaotan's gradually restrictive smile, and suddenly felt that her chest was tight, she sandwiched the mutton back into Changjue's bowl, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't like mutton, eat more if you like." β
"Our food here is a little greasy. Bai Yu couldn't eat it, he drank the wine by himself, he looked at the illusion with a bad face, so he poured a glass for her: "Try this, this is the specialty wine we pray for, called 'Beauty', brewed with fresh fruits, it is very delicious, and it specializes in relieving greasy meat." β
"'Zhu Xian has been a beauty, and the blue eyes are talking about the wine', a good 'beauty wine'. Phantom Wu looked at the garnet-like liquor in front of him, raised his head and drank: "It's really delicious." β
Bai Yu smiled at this time: "I knew you would like this taste." β
The two of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and as soon as they relieved their sorrows, the more they drank, the happier they became, their eyes shining, and their cheeks were flushed.
Chang Jue was busy holding her vegetables: "Eat more vegetables, beware of stomach upset." β
Seeing that she was drinking happily, Chang never couldn't bear to interrupt her, and she drank as much as she could, and she could sleep peacefully.
"By the way, in this royal city, why doesn't it look like it's plagued by nightmares?" He already felt strange, it stands to reason that this royal city should also be as depressed as a border city, why is it still so prosperous, and it doesn't seem to be disturbed by nightmares at all.
"Brother Ah Jue, do you know, since the demon ate the eyeballs, the high priest opened the altar to pray and set up a formation around the royal city, so there are occasional nightmares in the city, and there is no such thing as eating eyeballs anymore. Fan Xiaotan explained: "A lot of people poured into the royal city, and there were a lot of people in the city, so the city gate guards were extremely strict, and not everyone could let in." β
Formation? Chang Jue frowned, he didn't feel any signs of formation all the way, maybe he was not good at learning: "Your high priest seems to be really powerful." β
Xiao Tan lowered her head, there was a flash of obscurity in her eyes, and she pulled the corners of her mouth: "Yes, otherwise, how can you successfully squeeze out the noble Chongming Bird and take charge of the priest's hall alone." β
When Bai Yu heard that he was being named, the half-raised cup paused for a moment, and then poured several cups violently.
"What's the use of you drinking to death here, Twin Pupils, Divine Bird, Isn't it just that you can only hold the corner of the princess's skirt to keep your position, and in the end, you haven't been robbed by someone?"
"You!" Bai Yu's face turned red, and he pointed at Fan Xiaotan speechless.
"What are you? Am there something wrong with me? You are in such a hurry to bring the dream doctor to see the princess, is it not because of your own selfishness? Fan Xiaotan smiled at Bai Yu, his tone was not heavy, but it was like a heavy punch to his heart.
"Yes! I do have selfish intentions! I saved the princess just to get rid of Fei Fei, drive away Lu Li, and reinvigorate the authority of my Twin Eyed Bird clan in the prayer branch! What do you think is the great thing about that high priest, he just framed our elder to sit on the priest position, and this position was simply stolen by him!"
"The voice is loud, isn't it? Why doesn't the princess want to save it, so she wants to go directly to the prison?" Fan Xiaotan pulled Bai Yu down and sat down, although he still looked impatient, but his words were sincere.
Phantom Wu glanced at her, she really cared about Bai Yu, right?
"The prison?" said in a faint voice, "If you can enter the palace prison, you will also be counted as entering the palace, right?"
Fan Xiaotan shook his head: "The palace prison is not so easy to enter, only people from the royal family or those who have committed serious crimes can enter. β
"Well," she suddenly turned to look at Bai Yu, "you can enter, right? Her Royal Highness the Princess's fiancΓ©?"
"Poof!" Phantom Wu squirted out a mouthful of wine, "You, fiancΓ©?"
Bai Yu swallowed his saliva, he didn't expect to be poked so suddenly, he looked at Phantom Wu embarrassedly: "I...... I was going to say it later, I'm the fiancΓ© of a former princess......"
Chang Jue stroked his forehead: "What else are you hiding from us, let's say it all at once, we don't know why we are in prison because of you one day." β
Bai Yu shook his head: "No, no, no, really no, that's all." β
Phantom Wu let out an "oh", and his tone was playful: "No wonder, I'll just say that your attitude is so strange." But......" she glanced Bai Yu up and down, "do you love the princess?"
Bai Yu looked at Phantom Wu: "I made a marriage contract with the princess very early, and the elder of the clan is the lord, he relied on his kindness to the lord of the country and asked for a favor for me, but it is just the last life-saving straw that the two-eyed bird is about to grasp." β
"I do have selfish intentions to save the princess, but I really want to save her, we can be regarded as growing up together, I have always regarded her as a sister, as for the love between men and women, it is indeed not. β
Phantom nodded: "I'll just say, you are young, you shouldn't be like that...... Mature. β
"I ...... I'm young, but I don't know it. Bai Yu hung his head and glanced at Phantom Wu secretly.
Chang Jue saw it, raised his eyebrows, this look ...... It's so familiar.
Several people had their own thoughts, and suddenly they heard the sound of the street gradually rising, and the crowd flocked to one place.
"They're ...... What are you going to do?" I don't know if I drank too much, and my speech was angry.
Xiao Tan patted his head and said, "I forgot, today is the day when the lord of the country selects the dancing girl." β
"Maihime?!" Bai Yu was furious: "Her Royal Highness the princess is still uncertain, he actually went to choose a dancing queen?"
