Girl's background
Several friends looked at Shangguan Yi with some incredulity, and Hua Xiangrong carefully reminded him: "This is 50,000 taels of silver, so don't you want it?"
"I'm useless, I can't save everyone, since I saved one, I won't slave her like them, otherwise what's the difference between me and them? I'm a big man, I have hands and feet, where do I need her to take care of, but she needs to take care of it, not to mention that the 50,000 taels of silver to buy these green dragon stones and Brother Yu's three favors is enough, and at the moment when Brother Yu paid her for it, she and I are equal. Shangguan Yi said lightly, without the appearance of acting.
"Brother Li, you should drink bitterly with your bearing. Chi Yan's expression was very solemn, there is actually no equality in this era, and there is no in the troubled times, if you want to get the respect of others, you rely on force, and it can only be force, although this girl knows some martial arts, but it is very ordinary, Shangguan Yiken treats her like this, and it is as if it should be taken for granted.
"Let's drink it when I have time, the first thing is to go home first and sort out the ins and outs of this matter, if I let her live in my house, I must know some about her origins, and then I can arrange the matter, or her enemies will take her away while I am not there, and it will be troublesome." Shangguan Yi shook his head and rejected Chi Yan's intention to drink.
"Of course, of course. Chi Yan nodded again and again, of course what Shangguan Yi said was right, different identities should be given different care and care, if she was a grass citizen, then there was no need to take too much care, even if Shangguan Yi's enemy came to the door, it would not be too difficult for her, but if she was more sensitive, Shangguan Yi would have to think more about her to avoid her accidents.
The six of them were all people who knew the priorities of things, so they didn't delay for other things, and hurriedly rushed back to Shangguan Yi's house.
"You're not bad, well, I didn't expect you to be able to figure out such an arrangement by yourself, but it made me a little impressed with you, yes, I'll go and get a basin of water to wipe her face first, you chat." Hua Xiangrong looked in the courtyard and room, praised Shangguan Yi's aesthetics, and then busily took care of the girl.
Shangguan Yi took the other three to the living room, took out some pastries, made a pot of tea, and began to spell out the information they knew.
The reason why "they know" is because Shangguan Yi also took the words of those officials and learned some information when he went through the formalities.
"She is a little princess-like existence in a branch of the Han clan, of course, her status is more special, and I ...... used to be a member of the Han clan, but later he made a mistake and was sentenced to death, and he was favored by the patriarch, was removed from his name and exiled, and wandered outside, and since then there has been one more Yu Jinghui in the world. Yu Jinghui said softly about these life experiences with the meaning of remembrance.
"The Han Clan, if I'm not mistaken, is an ethnic group that migrated when the Northern Han invaded the Western Desert, a very strong clan, responsible for the Northern Han's war against the Western Desert, and later as the Western Desert took back the original land, the Han Clan also left. Qin Yuyan raised doubts.
"So, the tribe we are in was left behind in the Western Desert, maybe there is some purpose, maybe not, I'm just a small person, I don't know too much information, in short, the ethnic group finally survived in the Western Desert. Yu Jinghui shook his head, he didn't know much about this history.
"What about her? I heard from my colleagues in the government that she was one of the few women that the slave trader stole back from the Han tribe when he took advantage of the Western Desert to encircle and suppress the Han tribe's left branches, and she was also the most difficult to sell. Although Shangguan Yi was a little curious about the reason why the Han clan left a branch in the Western Desert, he was even more curious about the identity of that girl.
"Actually, the slave trader is not wrong, if he shows her identity and her talent, the asking price is 100,000, but that will cause him a great disaster, and even completely detonate the war between Beihan and Zhongzhen.
She was supposed to be the witch of the Han Clan, and as long as she became an adult, she would be sent to the Han Clan's own family. The status of the witch in the Han clan is very high, equivalent to the holy maidens of other races, but the Han clan is too huge, there are many witches in each generation, and only the one with the best talent can become the great witch of the Han clan. Her eyes are ice blue, which has proved her talent, in the history of the Han Clan, there are very few such figures, so few that the number of hands is less, each of them is a famous big man in the Han Clan, leading the Han Clan to a new era. Yu Jinghui said solemnly, but his words were a little hard to believe.
"Jinghui, did you recognize the wrong person? She doesn't look like a genius, or is your witch not practicing martial arts?" Chi Yan was speechless, he had also looked at the girl seriously just now, and her cultivation was average, and he didn't feel threatened at all.
"The witch must first cultivate a secret internal skill of the Han clan, and then abolish it before she can officially practice the exclusive internal skill of the witch. Generally speaking, the previous steps of preparation cannot be completed until you are almost an adult, so there is a rule that shrine maidens can only go to their own house when they reach adulthood. But there is always a talent that can be completed in advance, so the family has also prepared a scroll that can only be used a few times, recording a part of the internal skills exclusive to the shrine maiden, so that people can practice in advance and not waste her talent.
If you feel that she is weak, it is because she has completed the preparation steps and successfully opened the cultivation of the witch's exclusive internal strength, so she is weak. Yu Jinghui shook his head, and the explanation he gave made Chi Yan squirt out a mouthful of tea.
"Ahem, cultivation, cultivation means?" Chi Yan didn't care about it, and asked a little stammering, this kid is only eleven or twelve years old, ......right?
"That's right, that's what you think, cultivate the internal strength to the late stage of the Triple Heaven and then abolish it, although that exercise is said to enter the realm relatively quickly, and it has almost no other role than laying the foundation, but it is also extremely rare to be able to do this level, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she is talented. Yu Jinghui's merciless words completely hit Chi Yan, and he even felt that he had practiced in vain all these years.
"Then do you know what the reason is for her current state?" The corners of Shangguan Yi's mouth twitched and changed the subject, he inadvertently brought back another monster, terrible, terrible.
"I just said, she has cultivated that secret internal skill, although that internal skill has no offensive and defensive ability, but after cultivation, there are several secret techniques, one of which is Ice Mourning, according to rumors, is a secret technique that isolates the caster's own inner heart from the outside world, unless the caster breaks through that shackle and faces the things he does not want to face, he can only maintain that state for the rest of his life, with basic survival instincts, but he does not say a word and does not respond to most of the stimuli from the outside world, which is quite troublesome. When Yu Jinghui said this, although he couldn't see his face, he must have been very annoyed, right?
"Can you lift it then?" Hua Xiangrong walked in with a puppet-like girl.
"No, I only learned about the witch by peeking at the secret books of the clan, and I don't have any idea of how to relieve the ice mourning, so I may have to go with the flow. Yu Jinghui shook his head.
Shangguan Yi and others: "......"
"That's why you were expelled from the clan, right?peek at the secret books of the clan, you deserve it!" Chi Yan complained, no wonder he knew so much about witches, I was afraid that they didn't all get it from the secret books, he felt that ordinary people of the Han clan couldn't know so many secrets.
"Whatever you want. Yu Jinghui was powerless to refute him.
"If you go with the flow, will this kid be okay?" Hua Xiangrong was a little worried, good-looking is good, and without saying a word, he had already brushed Hua Xiangrong's favor.
"I don't know, if I have time, I'll go find my friends and ask them if they have any ideas, it's not a way to always look like this, I don't ask her to serve me, but at least I have to be able to take care of myself, right? Shangguan Yi thought about his possible life in the future, and waved his hand again and again.
"Thinking about the beauty, even if she can't take care of herself, someone else will take care of her, even if she doesn't send it to your friend's house, you can ask a maid to take care of it, it's not your turn. Hua Xiangrong rolled her eyes and said quite angrily.
"Maid, it's hard to decide on the candidate, I have too many inconvenient things, if I take care of others, in her situation, I'm afraid of the evil slave bullying the master, although I am a little thin-faced, but ...... "Shangguan Yi hasn't thought of these two plans?
"Yes, it's just that we all seem to have no place to live, and there is no place to put her, which is a bit of a problem. Qin Yuyan nodded in understanding, who doesn't have their own secrets? Especially a guy like Shangguan Yi, who is mysterious and secretive, and people who are not credible will not let him stay in his own house at all, after all, after getting along for a long time, he will inevitably know some secrets, and these secrets may one day become Shangguan Yi's life-threatening talisman.
"That's not right, yes, but it's troublesome, wait, if I don't solve her problem before I leave the capital, I will definitely arrange a foolproof place for her. Shangguan Yi groaned and said such a thing, they can't do it, but other places may be okay, such as Donghai, just let Jiang Li take care of this girl, and even if someone wants to be unfavorable to her, they have to weigh whether they can afford to provoke Jiang Li.
"Good. Yu Jinghui nodded, he just wanted her to have a place to stay and not be bullied, as for being a witch of the Han clan or something, it didn't matter.
"However, why do you say she used the Ice Mourning, and why did the Western Desert suddenly want to wipe out the Han Clan?" Qin Yuyan touched the hilt of the sword and thought, these were two doubts.
"The Han Clan is the enemy of the Western Desert, and even the newly sensible children of the Western Desert know this, you can't forget it, right?" Chi Yan replied without hesitation.
"It's not that simple, if it was just for this reason, the West Desert would have eradicated that Han clan a long time ago. According to some information I know, Xi Mo and Bei Han actually have an ambiguous attitude now, and they may want to be embarrassed, if I remember correctly, a considerable number of the courtiers of Bei Han are from the Han clan, right?" Shangguan Yi shook his head, although he was an outsider, he intuitively felt that this matter was not simple.
"Yes, you're right, the Han clan can be said to control one-third of the power of the Northern Han, so the West Desert eradicates that Han clan...... There is a great possibility that the high-level of the Han clan ordered that the Han clan will live and die, so I won't let you send her to the Northern Cold, first, the road is far away, and she is still fighting, which is too difficult, and second, if she is sent over, she will also die. Yu Jinghui said this thing that could be said to be a scandal with great difficulty, and his voice was slightly choked.
Because of the strength of the Han Clan, even if their Han tribe is left behind in the Western Desert and the enemy is everywhere, the Western Desert Imperial Court will not dare to touch them and let them fend for themselves;
"Why?" Qin Yuyan and Chi Yan were both startled, and Chi Yan even stood up directly from the chair and stared at Yu Jinghui, hoping to get an answer.
Since ancient times, cannibalism has been taboo.
"Because of her?" Shangguan Yi pointed at the girl.
"Yes, when I was wandering the rivers and lakes all these years, I heard that the Han family seems to have a great genius, and the position of the Great Witch is about to be decided. Now it seems that the talent is definitely not comparable to her, if she does not go to her own family, the position of the great witch is that person, if she goes, and sees the ten elders of the Han clan, it will be hers. Those adults in the upper position don't care about the difference in sects, they only value talent, but this is definitely something that some people can't accept, so ......" Yu Jinghui said slowly, he didn't pay much attention to these before, because she was not born when he left, and he didn't know that his race actually produced such a genius.
"This is going to be decided, it's clearly decided!" Chi Yan sat down angrily and slapped the table with a slap, quite angry.
"There's no way, the deeper the door, the more rights and wrongs, and she doesn't have to go back to the Han clan. Shangguan Yi rubbed his eyebrows, such a turn is also predictable, it's a pity, but it's actually good, at least the Han clan lacks an excellent leader, it's good.
Still, that doesn't explain why she's the way she is. Hua Xiangrong asked the previous question again.
"I'm afraid I still have to let the slave trader answer this question, I don't think it has anything to do with them. Shangguan Yi slowly turned his teacup with a cold expression.
"Then you interrogate him tomorrow and ask him everything he knows!" Chi Yan was very angry now, so he wanted to arrest the slave trader and interrogate him now, but he couldn't, so he could only endure it.
"Relying only on my words, you may not ask any secrets, that person is very treacherous, he acts well, he would rather make less money than violate the rules, I am also an official, I can't be lynched, I can only coerce and lure, but he may not eat that. Shangguan Yi's face was embarrassed.
"Then we will accompany you to the trial tomorrow, if you have any concerns, we will tell him then, if you don't say it, you will stay in an absolutely safe place for the rest of your life. Chi Yan rubbed his wrist and smiled kindly.
The absolutely safe place is not from the capital, nor near the officials, as long as he wants to kill people, only a few people from the Triple Heaven and the people of the Fourth Heaven can be stopped, unless the slave trader stays with those people and does not leave an inch, otherwise he will die.
"I'm afraid that what he said will end like this, Yu Jinghui, you will help me send a letter to the Daoxing Teahouse in a while, you can't just listen to that guy's words. Shangguan Yi shook his head, if he said or didn't say that he was dead, it was him, and he would make up lies, such a lie might be able to kill a few of them without using a blade.
"Good. Yu Jinghui agreed.
