Sick King and Concubine

Chapter 143 Escape Plan (1)
But even though she thought so, she didn't have the desire to help. On the one hand, this injury is not enough to be life-threatening, and on the other hand, it's better to avoid trouble now.

Feng Zhiheng said to the two: "I don't know what Brother Jiang and Miss Jiang are doing here?"

When he heard that the two were brother and sister, he naturally attributed Chu Yu's surname to Jiang.

Chu Yudao: "The scenery here in southern Xinjiang is unique, I want to come and have a visit."

Feng Zhiheng listened and nodded, and said with a smile: "The scenery here is indeed different from that of the Central Plains, and recently there will be three major sacrifices in Dongzhi Kingdom, a strong festival every two years, if you don't mind, I will There are some contacts in Dongzhi Kingdom, I can help the two of you to go and see the grand ceremony of Dongzhi Kingdom."

Jiang Li doesn't know why this person is so enthusiastic, but this person has an elegant demeanor, which makes people like him very much, and makes people unwilling to suspect him.Jiang Li guessed that Chu Yu would refuse, because from past experience, Chu Yu really didn't have a good impression of this person, but he didn't. He thought that Chu Yu just smiled and said, "If so, then thank you very much."

Sure enough, Feng Zhiheng had some connections, and two days later he brought them into Dongzhi Kingdom wearing local clothes.

Jiang Li was wearing a tight-fitting leather jacket with a palm-wide embroidered belt around her waist, a knee-length skirt and boots underneath, and a string of silver bells on her hands, making her look instantly lighter.Chu Yu was wearing a long robe, a mask, and a light robe, and his figure was naturally outstanding.

Jiang Li looked at the surrounding scenery as he walked. The mountains stretched here, the trees were deep, and he couldn't see the end at all. There are already mosquitoes in the sky, but fortunately, Jiangli knew about it in advance, and it would be better to equip some mosquito repellent.

The one who led them was a [-]-year-old girl from the Dongzhi Kingdom who could speak fluent Chinese. Looking at Jiang Li's upright body on the horse, she couldn't help saying: "My sister is really brave."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Am I brave?"

The clever girl nodded: "Yes, the other ladies from the Central Plains that I brought over look weak, and their courage is even weaker. They will scream in fright when they see those insects and ants. I have to be careful to serve them." .”

Jiang Li smiled, remembering how she was staring at her all the time just now, she couldn't help but suddenly said, "Fortunately, I have some medicine prepared here, these insects and ants cannot enter the body."

The girl nodded and said: "Now we are going to the best place. These medicines are still useful, but when they enter the mountains, the things inside will be powerful. Even the most powerful hunters will not be able to get out. The ones that are easy to deal with, the little things inside that cannot be named are the most frightening! Once bitten, they will die, and they will be infected. Some people were bitten by insects and returned to the stockade, and everyone in the stockade They are all dead, so the empress and the priest issued a decree, that is, if there is no order, you must not enter the mountain, and those who violate it will be hanged."

Jiang Li asked, "You can't enter the mountain, so what do you eat?"

The girl said: "There is food, I catch fish in normal times, and when the time comes, the empress and the priest will open the mountain to worship the gods, send people to offer sacrifices to the god of Hora in the mountain, and send the bravest warriors to open the mountain, Then the citizens behind followed, generally speaking, only a few mountains close to Jiang'an, and in the deeper places, I am afraid that no one can survive except the priest."

Feng Zhiheng next to him said: "In the Dongzhi country, you can't offend the priest even if you offend everyone. He is the real symbol of Dongzhi. It is said that this man's face is overwhelmed by heaven, and his talent is amazing. As long as he is still there, Dongzhi country will last forever.”

Jiang Li bowed her head silently, so it seems that the priest is really a very powerful person, and her main purpose of coming this time is not for national affairs, but for the unparalleled poison of the priest who was rescued in Meiling. , because only in this way can the poison on Chu Yu's body be found a breakthrough, so the sooner the better.

Chu Yu next to him said indifferently: "I don't know if the priest who will sacrifice this time will come or not?"

The girl said: "This year's three major sacrifices are held every two years, and must be presided over by the empress and the priest, so we must have a chance to see Tianyan."

Jiang Li asked: "Have you never seen the face of that priest?"

The girl blushed and said: "In our place, 13 years old is considered a grown-up, and you can only go to participate in the sacrifice when you grow up. I went there when I was 13 years old, but when I looked up, I saw a face. I was shocked at that time." I stayed for a while, and then, and then I didn’t have the slightest impression.”

She clenched her fists as she spoke, and said, "I must see it this year, and remember the heavenly face of Lord Priest!"

Jiang Li looked at it and smiled slightly, this girl is so interesting, she must be a super groupie in Hyundai, but she is really cute with a pure heart.

Feng Zhiheng reminded: "Because the three major sacrifices are the festivals of Dongzhi Kingdom, foreigners are generally not allowed to participate, and now Dachu and Dongzhi Kingdom are on the verge of breaking out, so when we get there, we can only communicate with Ah Yue for general questions. , Don’t open your mouth when others ask you, if you break the rules, it will be very troublesome.”

Jiang Li nodded, but thought in his heart, it seems that Feng Zhiheng didn't simply want to help them, but he still pulled them in even though he knew it was so dangerous. Whatever the purpose is, it seems that it is better to be cautious.

Jiang Li looked at Chu Yu beside him, but his heart was full of peace of mind.

With him he is getting better.

And she doesn't know what kind of changes this trip to Dongzhi will bring to her, and the trajectory of her life will finally officially start here.And the man next to him, how did he take every step of the way, using life and death to forge a road of iron and blood for her, using his soul as a sacrifice.

The national flower of Dongzhi Kingdom is Datura. Although it is spring, it is not the season for Datura to bloom, but the shadow of Datura can be seen everywhere.Recently, it was one of the three major sacrifices, so the dried flowers stored in previous years were aired out, and it looked as if they had returned to summer and autumn.

March [-]rd, night.

Before leaving, Ah Yue brought out a few bowls of porridge and said, "This is the rule of our Dongzhi country. You have to drink a bowl of this before going out today, so that ghosts and gods will not invade."

Gracilaria's eyes fell on the bowl, and just by smelling it, she knew that there were datura seeds in it, which were highly poisonous.Jiang Li didn't doubt her, but Dongzhi had always regarded mandala flowers a bit high. Their physiques may have developed some resistance after years of exposure to this, but it may not be suitable for them.

Of course, facing this innocent little girl, Jiang Gracilis, she was not going to make a fuss, but said directly: "There must be datura seeds in here, our bodies cannot eat this."

Ah Yue listened, "Oh", then nodded, put down the porridge, waved her hands and said, "It's nothing, it's just a custom passed down from generation to generation, you are not from Dongzhi, so it should be fine."
