Chapter 13: The Unexpected

At the celebration banquet where ten thousand demons gathered, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the demons were boiling.

I sat on opposite sides of the hall with Chi Ying Ao Lie, and saw several giant apes tied up by the bonfire in the center of the hall.

All the demons are waiting for their mothers to deal with the giant ape. Unexpectedly, after my mother looked around the hall, she waved at me: "Yun'er, Ao Lie, you come here." ”

The focus of the demons' attention was originally a few captured giant apes. Suddenly, they all set their eyes on me and Ao Lie.

Even more unexpected.

My mother took my hand, held it high, and solemnly announcedβ€”

"Ten thousand demons obey orders! From now on, Bai Wan is the new demon queen of this desolate halberd demon mountain! I want you all to obey her orders! Defend the mountains and rivers of this demon realm for her!"

"Ten thousand demons obey orders!

The sound of gongs and drums stopped suddenly, and all the demons bowed their heads and congratulated in unison, surrendering to me and my mother.

The first time I saw such a battle, it was still in front of the Absolute Demon Palace, waiting for the Demon King Black Dragon Yao to return to the palace.

Everything came so suddenly, that now all the demons knelt in front of me, and I was overwhelmed.

I looked at my mother in a daze.

I've never seen such a bright smile on my mother's cheeks in the bright color of the bonfire.

The mother ordered Ao Lie to get up, folded my hands with him, and said to the ten thousand demons: "Now I am no longer the queen of ten thousand demons." This second event is a happy event. I want to announce as Bai Yun's mother and make a marriage contract for Bai Yun Ao Lie. ”

The audience shouted and cheered in unison.

In the staggered light and shadow, I clearly saw two tears on Chiying's face that had not dried up for a long time, and disappeared into the demon group in the blink of an eye.

Considering my mother's face and mood, I did not refuse her arrangement immediately.

While the demons were celebrating, I sneaked a glance at Ao Lie beside me, and it happened that on his angular face, amber eyes were looking at me softly.

When my eyes met, I snapped back as if I had been burned by fire.

After explaining what had been planned for a long time, the mother paced down the steps and walked to the giant ape demon that had been ignored by everyone.

"Giant Ape Demon, today's internal handover of my demon clan, it is better to be happy than to mourn, I will let you go. ”

For a time, the audience was silent.

Several giant ape demons looked at each other, and one of them, a young and strong giant ape, said disdainfully: "Do you think that if you let us go, we will be grateful to you?

The mother approached the giant ape without hurry, and after letting the little demon untie their ropes, she said majestically: "Since ancient times, the king has been defeated and the fittest has survived, why should I be grateful to my nine-tailed rakshasa." I'm going to have no trouble putting you to death today, but I don't want to do it. I just need you to remember that the blood feud of the giant ape clan is made by me alone, and don't harm these demon clan people in vain. ”

"What a nine-tailed rakshasa If you dare to let us go, how can my giant ape clan be greedy for life and afraid of death. I have made a life-and-death pact with you here today, and in seven days, my giant ape clan will come to war!"

Several giant apes looked fierce, bared their teeth and clenched their fists to invite battle.

I shook my head at my mother with a worried expression, warning her not to accept this battle contract, after all, she no longer has a demon pill in her body, which is equivalent to losing her internal strength.

Who knows, the mother smiled calmly and replied, "About." Seven days later. ”

In front of everyone's eyes, several giant ape demons strode away.

When the demons receded, the hall was empty, and the bright bonfire was fading and dimming, leaving only a cloud of scattered ashes.

At the banquet, a group of little demons surrounded Ao Lie, so that he drank a cup of liquor in his throat, and finally was carried back drunk like mud.

Naturally, I didn't have the heart to drink from beginning to end.

Right now, when people go to the empty hall, the mother is still sitting alone in the hall, smiling and drinking.

"Mother......

I stepped forward and had something to talk to her.

She grabbed my hand, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and a drunken smile appeared on her face: "Wan'er, go, accompany my mother to the flower forest." ”

Before I could speak, I was dragged away by my mother.

The dense and slanting drizzle, intertwined into silk under the hazy night, sprinkled in the flowering forest.

I held my mother, who was a little drunk, and frowned at the weather: "Mother, it's raining, let's go back." ”

The mother stopped, leaned under the flowery trees, closed her eyes slightly, and said, "Wan'er, you smell it, even the wind here has a fragrance." My mother is very happy today, the light rain is out of the way, I want to stay here for a while. ”

However, my mind is now full of worries about the seven-day war contract between my mother and the giant ape, how can I be in the mood to smell the fragrance of flowers in the wind.

"Mother, why do you have to fight when you are in mourning?"

The mother smiled lightly disapprovingly: "Don't worry about this, even if I don't have a demon pill, just a few giant apes are beyond my power in front of me." ”

I raised my eyebrows in doubt and said, "Why is it so troublesome to let go and fight again even though you have caught it alive." ”

The mother was silent and said four words concisely and to the point: "But ask for peace of mind." ”

I immediately understood.

A wave of breeze ripples, and the pink petals that fill the sky lightly are gentle and gorgeous, and they are beautiful and withering.

In the open flowering forest below, two flower and rattan chairs swayed shallowly in the wind.

Looking at the flowers and vines, I suddenly thought of Chiying, Ao Lie, and the marriage that my mother had engaged for me.

I can't wait.

"Mother, cancel my engagement with Ao Lie. ”

My mother's seven points of drunkenness suddenly woke up for three points, and looked at me in surprise: "Why? Is it because of Black Dragon Yao?"

I was stunned, I didn't expect to hear the name.

Maybe I was stunned, but my mother really misunderstood me and acquiesced.

My mother persuaded me very anxiously: "Yun'er, I know that Yao'er has a deep affection for you, but he has a deep blood feud, which is really not suitable for you. Ao Lie is loyal and straight, and he has led the Halberd for many years, he is the most suitable candidate for your husband. If you are with him, you will be able to live a long life. ”

Although parents have far-reaching plans for their children, this is too deep and far. Ao Lie and I didn't skim the eight characters, and the eight poles couldn't hit together.

Thinking of Chiying again, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and shook the pot and said: "Mother, if you think it's appropriate, maybe Ao Lie also thinks it's appropriate." Maybe, I do, but others don't. ”

"He willed. ”

The mother breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "On the Lonely Abyss Mountain, you were in a wolf smoke coma, and when I was besieged, I had entrusted him with all the safety and happiness of your life. He swore in front of me that from now on, he will guard you and accompany you, protect each other with all his life, and never leave an inch. ”

I was speechless and a little shocked.

After all, along the arduous trek from the abyss to the end of the night, Ao Lie never mentioned to me the entrustment left to him by his mother.

"But mother, you said that if you like someone, you must want to be with him in the morning and twilight. I don't have this kind of mind for Ao Lie. ”

"Yun'er, my mother is from here, you are right to listen to my mother. As long as you are willing to try to accept it, there is still a kind of relationship in this world, which is called getting along day and night for a long time. Mother just wants to take advantage of your current relationship blank to choose the right person for you to start, and then make you happy for a lifetime. ”

My mind began to be a little confused, as if I couldn't explain it to my mother without telling the truth in my heart.

"Mother, in fact, after leaving the Purple Bamboo Forest, a lot of things happened to me in Yanbo Hongchen. I've been hiding these things from you because I don't want you to worry. But now I have to tell you the truth, I find that I have some complicated past, and I seem to have someone I like. ”

My mother took two steps back in a daze and stared at me in disbelief: "What is the past?"

Now that we've talked about it, I can't hide anything from my mother.

Then the smoke and red dust, the pavilion for the first time, the romantic hallucination, the ninefold heaven, etc., etc., 1510 and the plate out.

The mother's face gradually turned from sunny to gloomy.

"Mother......

I cautiously tried to find out whether my mother believed or questioned what I said.

Unexpectedly, my mother's next words were imposing and caught me off guard.

"Yun'er, the marriage contract cannot be cancelled, and you will have a big wedding tomorrow. ”

"Tomorrow?"

My heart trembled, and I held my breath and retreated, my feet crunching on the dead branches of flowers.

My mother looked at me with a look of great disappointment.

"Yun'er, whether you understand it or not, in short, you can't regret this marriage. ”

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the evening breeze is very cool.

The mother's words echoed quietly in the flower forest under the cold light of the night.

The remnants of flowers seem to have lost the spring light, and at this moment, I am the only one left.

I thought that the wedding date was hastily scheduled, but my mother said it casually.

Who knows, after the mother left the flower forest, she arranged for the demons of the barren halberd to put up lanterns and cloth ten miles of red makeup.

In the blink of an eye, before the rain has passed, the palace of the enchantress is already a red candle swaying golden cup acacia, red gauze soft pillow mandarin duck rusty brocade, a festive.

The mother specially sent a few demon overseers.

I calmly put on the phoenix-collared red robe wedding dress, lifted the golden bead curtain on the flowing moon bun to cover my face, and sat in front of the bronze mirror, waiting for the upcoming wedding at dawn.

"Stand down, and go and fetch the red tassels. I pretended to be calm and commanded.

"Yes. ”

Watching a few little demons bow down and withdraw, I couldn't help but be in a mess, and the whole person fell into a state of confusion.

This marriage will never take place, but now that it is less than two hours before dawn, I urgently need Chi Ying to come and discuss countermeasures with me.

A soft demon wind blew.

Where the demon wind dispersed, a delicate and delicate woman with a face like a peach blossom appeared on the spot, which was Chiying.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and she must have cried all night.

This appearance makes me even more worried.

"Sister Chiying, I can't marry Ao Lie, you can help me find a way. Do you think I'd better hide or run out of the mountains?"

"Demon queen, the auspicious time for the wedding banquet is coming. You and General Ao are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven, why run away?"

Chi Ying is desperately trying to persuade me to stay at the moment, but the person who wants to marry me is obviously the man she admires day and night, and desperately wants to protect her life and safety.

I was so surprised that I couldn't close my mouth: "What, you also want me to marry Ao Lie?"

Chi Ying smiled sadly: "The top General Ao in my heart is probably a match after ten thousand demons like you." So, I want you to be together too. Demon queen, your fat powder is not even, I'll wipe it for you. ”

Trying to squeeze out a smile, Chi Ying reached out to me.

For a moment, I seemed to see a desolate grave of a crush in Chiying's heart. And she buried all her affection and sweetness in it, and she didn't dare to show it to anyone without seeing the light of day.

Her aggrieved and humble love appearance makes me miss the green snake sister who is persistent for love more and more.

If you love someone, no matter what their identity is, even if his heart is barren, you have to plant a flower for him.

I was a little anxious, and said anxiously: "Sister Chiying, I miss my life with one thought." Can you really watch the person you like marry someone else, and do you have to rub the grease and powder for her?"

Chi Ying looked at me, the strength she had pretended to be for a long time was torn after all, tears were falling from her eyes, and she kept babbling: "Otherwise, otherwise what else can I do." You're the demon queen, he's a general, which turn to get my ......"

I stepped forward to comfort her, hugged Chiying, and let her tears fall on my shoulder.

"Sister Chiying, listen to me. I will leave the Halberd to hide for two days, and you will visit the church with General Ao for me. When the marriage is settled, you will say that I forced you, and then I will come back and make amends to everyone. ”

"No, no, no, if you do this, the Nine-Tailed Demon Queen will blame me, and General Ao will not forgive me. ”

"Sister Chiying, remember, I forced you. If you want to say that you don't forgive, they won't forgive me either. ”

I looked at Chi Ying expectantly, but she shook her head resolutely: "No, really not." ”

I pulled the golden hairpin from my bun and aimed it at my neck.

"Sister, do you really want me to force me to die?"

Chi Ying looked at me sadly, with tears in her eyes, and it was difficult to make a choice.

After a long time, Chi Ying finally nodded with difficulty and responded.
