The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 478 Sisi Is Destined to Be Put Into the Bucket

It took more than a day to get from the village where Zhao Changhe and his friends fell into the secret realm to the so-called holy mountain.

They set out in the afternoon of the same day, rested in the carriage for most of the night, and arrived in the evening of the next day.

The couple's condition had not recovered much, so they did not urge the driver to go faster. They recovered slowly in the carriage and even went down to eat at the places where the villages were gathered.

Finally, a rough estimate showed that the journey was about 300 miles.

From this, we can get a glimpse of the hugeness of this secret realm. According to the village being the edge and the holy mountain being the middle, the radius of this secret realm is also 300 miles.

If we add a little more, assuming that the village is not the edge and is itself quite central, then this secret realm should be more than a thousand miles, which is extremely huge.

It is indeed a large group copy, and a secret realm of this level cannot be protected without the Heavenly Book.

But if the spirit race had the Heavenly Book, how could they be bullied like this... It can only prove that the Heavenly Book is actually in the so-called forbidden area...

It's a bit troublesome.

The blind man put everyone here, probably to give a buffer. If he was thrown directly to the Holy Mountain, he would not be able to explain it with a hundred mouths. Now the message was sent back from the surrounding areas. The elders of the spirit tribe received the report and preconceived that the envoy had come. They did not even have a doubt.

When they arrived at the Holy Mountain, they saw a vast area of ​​people kneeling outside. The old man in the lead touched his forehead to the ground: "Welcome the Holy Envoy."

So the mountains and the sea shouted: "Welcome the Holy Envoy."

Yue Hongling opened her mouth. The poor female knight had never seen such a scene. She was embarrassed and embarrassed. Her first reaction was to call everyone to get up.

Zhao Changhe held her hand and squeezed it gently.

Yue Hongling did not say anything. She watched Zhao Changhe walk back and forth in front of the old man with his hands behind his back. He did not speak for a long time.

The dark crowd did not dare to raise their heads. The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Zhao Changhe finally stopped in front of the old man in the lead and said coldly: "Do you think that I am not as advanced as before, so you don't need to be too respectful?"

The old man hurriedly said: "Why do you say that, envoy? Was it disrespectful to the village before? I will immediately ask someone..."

Zhao Changhe interrupted coldly: "I am talking about you!"

Yue Hongling had no expression on her face, watching Zhao Changhe acting.

She knew what Zhao Changhe meant. He wanted to show that an envoy was domineering and bullying. The more domineering, the more real it would be. As for claiming that he didn't respect him as much as before, but didn't say where the problem was, and let people think about it themselves, it was because he didn't know what the problem was. Anyway, the other party would find problems for himself if he thought about it.

Yue Hongling suddenly knew what Tang Wanzhuang was thinking... He had that kind of potential.

Sure enough, the old man thought for a long time with sweat dripping down his back, and kowtowed: "The lanterns for the envoy Zhang are not as spectacular as before, that's because some trees here have been cut down... uh, there is no reason, please punish the envoy."

Yue Hongling looked at the lantern silks around her and sighed.

Zhao Changhe didn't expect the other party to come up with this reason. He was really a little amused. It seemed that the specifications were exactly the same. This was strange. He originally thought that when the domineering envoy came here, the spirits should give him some treasures. This kind of pretentiousness was tantamount to asking for bribes, but the other party thought about it for a long time and didn't think of giving him treasures. It seemed that there was no such precedent.

Is this envoy from the forbidden land actually very honest? It's really funny.

He said lightly: "Well, so as not to say that we are domineering."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

"Slap yourself ten times, and don't do it again."

"Thank the grace of the Holy Envoy." The old man was overjoyed and actually slapped his mouth hard.

Zhao Changhe walked through the crowd of kneeling people with his hands behind his back, ignoring them: "We two don't like noise, let's all go, the banquet is over, and the rewards are for you to use. Let's take a bath first, and then we'll talk."

"Yes, it's ready, Holy Envoy, please follow me."

Although they were told to go, no one dared to leave, and they all knelt there. The old man personally led the two to the back of the mountain, and said with a smile: "Holy Envoy, please come this way."

Zhao Changhe followed without saying a word, and soon came to a quiet bamboo building courtyard, and he couldn't hold it back at first sight.

It seems that there are two bamboo buildings standing side by side in one courtyard, and there is a row of green bamboo in the middle to divide the courtyard into two halves. It can be regarded as one courtyard, or it can be regarded as two. If you look carefully, you can find that these are originally two courtyards, and the fence in the middle has been removed and temporarily planted with green bamboo to separate them.

It can be seen that the spirit race has taken great pains to entertain this "male and female holy envoy". You don't know if they are a couple, and you don't dare to ask, and you don't dare to arrange them together rashly. But if they are really a couple, I don't know if separating them will offend them, so I just made it like this, and any explanation is fine.

Being a slave is so difficult.

From this, we can see that the envoys in the past should come alone with a few followers, with a clear distinction between the master and the servants, and how to receive them is relatively clear, and there is no such situation where a pair comes. But the question is, if it is a master envoy coming, will he ask you for women to serve?

You don't arrange maids to serve, is it because the envoys never want it, or because this time the envoys are a pair, you don't dare to arrange it?

It makes sense if you don't dare to arrange it, but it would be strange if the envoys don't want it. It's okay not to ask for bribes, but don't want women? Is that forbidden area still a Buddhist holy land?

These thoughts flashed through Zhao Changhe's mind quickly, and he deliberately said: "Find a few little beauties to serve this envoy in the bath."

Yue Hongling glanced at him, guessed that he was testing, and didn't say anything.

The old man also glanced at Yue Hongling, and seeing that she didn't react at all, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was the test, these two are not a pair. Well... Although the previous envoys did not ask for women, but each envoy is different, it is normal to want it.

He immediately bowed: "It's ready, the Holy Envoy will wait."

Zhao Changhe yawned and waved his hand: "Go."

The old man bowed and left, the maid had not arrived yet, and the bamboo garden was quiet. Yue Hongling crossed her arms with a smile: "I see you are a little hard to hold back, just call their holy maidens to serve?"

"Sisi was not among the people kneeling outside just now. It should be that something important outside, so Sisi didn't come in."

"So you really want it!"

"Hey hey hey fuck..." Zhao Changhe covered the soft flesh on his waist, laughing and crying: "My sister Yue, can you not know what I'm doing..."

"Hehe." Yue Hongling naturally knew, and she trusted Zhao Changhe in her heart that he would not mess around.

Zhao Changhe whispered, "Did you notice that there were more middle-aged and elderly people in the welcoming party, but not so many young people? It stands to reason that there is no one in the mountain who dares not to welcome the Holy Envoy of the Forbidden Land. They should all be here. The age ratio is wrong."

Yue Hongling said, "There was also this situation in those villages before... Maybe Sisi took them out?"

"How many did Sisi take out? How could it have such a big impact?"

While the two were discussing, they saw a group of young maids coming in, so they stopped talking.

Each of the maids was holding a small bucket of hot water in their hands, as if they were going to add water to the bathtub. When they came to the two, the maids looked at each other carefully, as if they had been assigned in advance. One team went to Yue Hongling's bamboo building, and the other team, who was obviously prettier, bowed their heads shyly and went to Zhao Changhe's side.

Yue Hongling gritted her teeth: "They are not Sisi... If you dare to take the opportunity to bully them, you can do it yourself."

After saying that, she shook her ponytail and went into her own bamboo building.

Zhao Changhe looked at her back and felt angry and amused. So what you mean is that Sisi can be used?

He walked into the bamboo building leisurely. The bathtub was filled with water. The maids were wearing thin clothes and stood aside with their heads down. Their faces were ashamed.

Zhao Changhe said lightly: "They didn't want it before? It surprised me..."

The maids looked at each other, and a brave one said: "The envoys really never wanted these before..."

What Zhao Changhe wanted to ask was what the forbidden land was doing here and what it wanted. Otherwise, if he didn't know such an important thing, he couldn't pretend later... He avoided the old man's welcoming dinner and came here to take a bath first, just to find a few young girls who were not familiar with the world to talk to.

Hearing this, he continued to test: "They are diligent and dedicated. Do they really take it and leave?"

The maid bit her lower lip: "Anyway, they are taking people away. Maybe they will use it on the road..."

Zhao Changhe's mind exploded and suddenly became clear.

What the forbidden land wants is people! It may be a boy or girl, no wonder the age ratio here is not right.

Judging from the nature of the spirit race, and the nature of the gods and demons that he knew about, such as lingering and resurrecting, it is very likely that they are blood and flesh sacrifices. Those who go there claim to serve the gods, but they can't come back once they go!

Of course, the envoys dare not play around. No matter who they take away, theoretically everyone here is the food of a certain god or demon. God knows whether the gods and demons know what they do when they go out as envoys? Of course, they dare not touch them.

These little girls who are not familiar with the world don't know. Some of the bold ones may still have the intention of hooking up with the envoys to become phoenixes, not knowing that they are facing a road of no return...

But the top leaders should not be unaware of it, but they still send their own flesh and blood every year to feed the unknown demon gods!

Sisi must know it, or vaguely guessed it, and her resistance is particularly fierce.

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Since they are all like this, I can't break the rules. You all go down, I will wash myself."

Some of the maids breathed a sigh of relief, some looked disappointed, but they didn't dare to disobey, and they bowed and left honestly: "Saint Envoy, take a rest, call us at any time."

After they all left, Zhao Changhe took off his clothes and got into the tub, thinking about things while taking a bath.

Fortunately, the corpse demon in the ring can't see what happened outside, otherwise it would have gone berserk if it knew.

This matter is indeed a bit troublesome... But with the corpse demon here, it should be possible to do it, and we have to plan it. It's best to have Sisi come and discuss with Sisi how to do this. It's very embarrassing to rely on myself and Yue Hongling here, and I don't know how to do it properly.

Just thinking about this, Longque trembled slightly.

Killing warning.

Zhao Changhe's mind moved, and he saw behind him the window behind him, the bamboo forest swaying, a beautiful figure hidden in the bamboo shade under the moon, holding a dagger upside down, staring at the window, looking for an opportunity to assassinate.

Sisi is here...

The first thing she did when she came was to assassinate the envoy.

Killing the envoy might force the whole family to rebel.

Zhao Changhe almost laughed out loud, the maid followed the master, and the brain circuits were so similar... Maybe she was learning the story of the master?

No, she had planted the plan for today when she went out of the mountain and went to steal the door.

Zhao Changhe pretended to lean on the bathtub, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and even snored faintly.

"Swoosh!"

A fragrant breeze blew, and a shadow flashed behind the bathtub like wind and fog.

Zhao Changhe slightly turned sideways, grabbed her wrist with one hand, dragged her, and with a "bang", the little girl fell into the tub again.

"How many times has this happened?" Zhao Changhe picked her up with a smile: "Do you think your fate is to accompany the master to take a bath?"

Sisi's resentment froze on her face, and soon turned into an expression of extreme surprise: "Why is it you?"

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "This is destined by heaven."

"Ugh..." In an unknown space, a blind man vomited all over the floor.

But Sisi's peach blossom eyes were shining, she really felt that this was destined by heaven.
