Chapter 246: The Sacrifice of the Great Witch of Southern Xinjiang, White Moonlight (38)
The conversation naturally ended unpleasantly. Yue Bai left with a wave of his sleeves. Yue Qun walked out from behind the vines. Mei Jing didn't look at him, but Yue Qun smiled and said, "She looks a lot like you when you were young, doesn't she?"
"Stupid." Mei Jing said in an unclear tone, as if she had thought of something again, "Do you think that the great witch will come out for Yuebai? He is going to give up the village just like I gave up my responsibility in the past."
But it didn't matter what Mei Jing thought. She had already written the ending for the great witch. Fumbling with the letter in her hand, Mei Jing called the worshiper and ordered: "Give a letter to the great witch and ask him if he is willing to marry Nanyu and ask him to marry into Nanyu with Nanjiang as a dowry."
Yue Qun heard her arrogant words and felt that she was a little crazy. She would make the Great Wizard think that Yue Bai was just using him, so he said, "You should know the Great Wizard's strength. If you anger him, he will not care about anything."
"Why would he just ignore it? He is concerned about the people still alive in the village, so he can't leave. Besides, love is not something you can just let go of." Mei Jing smiled inexplicably, "Let's see what choice he will make."
As Rose expected, when the letter was sent to southern Xinjiang, nearly half of the people had died. Some people would go to Qi Xun for help, but Qi Shu had been suppressing Qi Xun recently and not letting him come out to make poisonous corpses.
Sui Yin hid in a corner and looked at the village that was once filled with the sound of bells, but now there were only cries and death sacrifices. Their god sat on a high platform and turned a blind eye to their suffering. A crazy idea grew in her heart, maybe the great witch was not a god at all and was the root of all disasters.
After Qi Shu finished the test, he never doubted the friendship between Yue Bai and him, but he couldn't, he couldn't just leave the people here alone. Qi Shu grew up in this village, but it was Qi Xun who said in his sea of consciousness: "This is what Mei Jing wants from you. In the end, you will lose both sides."
This is the inevitable result of the power division between Queen Nuwa and the Great Witch and Mei Jing's desire to regain control of Southern Xinjiang.
"Brother, you always seem so calm." Qi Shu let his consciousness sink, and when he opened his eyes again, he had a pair of light gray pupils. "I'm tired and need to rest for a while. Brother, go see her and bring her back for me."
Because of the distance problem between the son and mother Gu of life and death, Qi Xun finally decided to take the remaining hundred people to Nanyu in the name of marriage.
Mei Jing got the news when they left the village. She wanted to find Yue Bai immediately. Yue Bai was reading miscellaneous notes in the library at that time. When the palace servant came to summon her, she said coldly, "I know. Tell the queen mother not to worry. I will greet them when the team arrives."
Unexpectedly, the palace servant did not leave after hearing this, but looked up at Yue Bai and said, "His Majesty has ordered that, in order to prevent Your Highness from being distracted by emotions and disrupting the country, Your Highness will be confined to the bedroom for three months from now on."
March? It was enough for everything to be settled. It was obvious that this was a Hongmen Banquet for Qi Shu. Yue Bai lifted her skirt and was about to leave, but was stopped by someone.
"Where are you going, Your Highness? Please follow us back to the bedroom." After the palace servant said this, the servants behind him stepped forward and blocked Yuebai's way.
They were respectful but strong, and would not allow Yuebai to do anything that would go against the empress's plan. Yuebai suddenly smiled with relief, and she stretched out her long silk sleeves and strangled the palace maid in an instant.
The worshippers immediately took out their weapons. Yuebai danced with long silk like a gorgeous dance. Originally, she had never learned these things. When she was a child, she only learned some long silk dances. Those were things that women used to please their lovers, but eventually they would grow into weapons to kill people due to circumstances.
Unfortunately, the princess on the high tower did not win in the end, and the priests who had been living on the edge of swords for a long time, their white silks slid weakly to the ground and were covered with dust.
"Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for us." The priests made way for him, and Yue Chuiyan finally returned to Liuyue Palace. The vermilion palace gate was closed, and two priests were stationed outside the gate.
After watching all this, the man in black robe disappeared among the numerous buildings. Qi Xun got the news that Sui Yin was leading the rest of the people to rest by a stream. Qi Xun sat far away and listened to the report from the man in black robe.
"The young lady has been confined to the palace. I'm afraid Mei Jing is not kind to the Great Witch."
"The Nuwa sect has always been non-aggressive. She is an exception, but it doesn't matter. I am not A Ci." Qi Xun closed his eyes and began to take a nap.
Seeing this, the man in black robe quietly retreated and stood aside.
When Qi Xun arrived at the Nanyu Imperial City, a drizzle began to fall from the sky, which reminded him of the time when Yue Bai was also looking out the window in such a misty and humid atmosphere, and the light in his eyes dimmed little by little.
He was with her at that time, but Yuebai didn't know. This time he wanted Yuebai to know that he was there so that he could take her away.
Because it was a marriage, Qi Xun and his party were met by the delegation at the city gate and taken to the post station. Then someone came forward and wanted to help Qi Xun change his clothes.
“How dare you!” The man in black robe stepped forward to block him, and the dagger in his hand was slightly unsheathed.
The postmaster in the post station smiled and explained, "When the Great Witch comes to arrange a marriage, he will naturally change into wedding robes, and Her Royal Highness will naturally change into wedding robes to welcome him."
Hearing him say this, Qi Xun signaled the black-robed man to leave: "Thank you, I can change my clothes by myself."
"Then please change your clothes and follow us into the palace immediately." After saying that, the man left with a group of palace servants and stood guard outside the post station.
"Sir, the people in southern Xinjiang are treacherous. Shouldn't we search them?" asked an attendant at the side.
The officer didn't look at him and just said, "You and I are just following orders. Besides, we are both aware of the competition, so it doesn't matter whether we search him or not."
This was a fake wedding that was not even a deal, but Qi Xun's heart beat faster for some reason when he saw the wedding gown.
"Great witch, not to mention that we have come from far away, if it is really a wedding, the three books and six ceremonies are indispensable. Being so impatient may be a fraud." The voice of the man in black robe brought Qi Xun back to his senses for a moment.
"It's okay." Qi Xun once saw Yue Bai's full affection for him through Qi Shu's eyes. Those eyes seemed to carry tiny starlight and infinite tenderness.
Who did she think was coming? Or who was she expecting to save her? Even though he knew in his heart that Yue Bai was expecting Qi Shu, he still wanted to fight for himself once.
Qi Xun changed into a wedding gown, and the people who came out with him also changed into uniform clothes. The silver accessories jingled as they walked, but the sound was not as clear as in the village. It seemed that in this foggy imperial city, even the bells were not so free.
Seeing that they had packed up, the officer who had been waiting outside for a long time ordered someone to bring in the carriage frame. It was a gorgeous sedan chair decorated with red vines and adorned with all kinds of gold, silver and jade ornaments. But no matter how gorgeous it was, he could not change the fact that it was a sedan chair for women.
"Great witch, please."
