I am reborn as an ancestor

Chapter 649
"The Kingdom of Qingqiu? This, how is this possible? I have never heard of such a place in China!"

Si Jinyan suddenly said in disbelief.

"Is this the ancestral land of all the fox clan?"

Ying Ning couldn't help being extremely surprised.

But just when they wanted to ask more questions, they saw the young woman's complexion tightened suddenly, and she immediately said in a very low voice:
"Stop talking, they're coming!"

Immediately, the sound of beating gongs and drums, from far to near, slowly came to the entrance of the village outside the house.

Hearing the sound, Si Jinyan and Ying Ning quickly shut their mouths, and then peeked out through the window of the house.

However, a group of ancient soldiers wearing yellow leather armor and holding spears came into view first.

Followed by a huge gong in hand and a burly man with a huge leather drum, they kept beating their instruments.

And these people, like the villagers at the entrance of the village, also have a long, thin and sharp fox face.

The only difference is that these people have two fluffy foxtails on their backs, swaying in the wind!

And just behind these people, there was a giant pangolin the size of an adult tiger, covered in horny scales, walking over majestically.

On the back of this giant beast, there is a middle-aged man in a gorgeous brocade suit, sitting proudly on the saddle.

And behind this middle-aged man, there are actually three fox tails, which are constantly swinging in the air!
Obviously this person is the highest status person in the imperial guards.

And just behind the middle-aged man, followed by a huge black carriage, slowly pulled forward by four giant pangolins.

Suddenly, seeing that the group had arrived at the entrance of the village, the fox-faced old man quickly led many villagers behind him forward, bowed deeply to the middle-aged man with three tails sitting on the pangolin, and bowed respectfully in unison:

"Villagers of Taohua Village, I pay my respects to the General."

And the middle-aged Sanwei, who was originally just a small leader of the imperial guards, was suddenly called a general, but it was also very useful, and he nodded his head high and said:
"Well, get up."

"Thank you, General."

Thanks again, the fox-faced old man stood up cautiously after waiting for a group of villagers.

"I don't know why the general came to our small wilderness village today?"

The fox-faced old man asked as if walking on thin ice.

"Hmph, what is my lord doing here, do I still need to report to you!"

The middle-aged man with three tails snorted proudly.

"Don't dare, dare not, how dare the little old man be rude to the general."

The fox-faced old man explained tremblingly.

"Hmph, sorry you don't have the guts!"

The middle-aged man riding on the back of the pangolin snorted coldly again, and then said impatiently:
"I'll tell you the truth, my lord is here today to pick up the sacrifice!

Hurry up and hand over the people and animals in your village, I have to rush back to the capital to return to my command! "

And upon hearing this, all the villagers present couldn't help showing an unprecedented look of fear.

The young woman in the house at the head of the village also trembled instantly, her face turned pale.

And at this moment, the fox-faced old man said in amazement:

"My lord, did you make a mistake? Isn't it a few years before the deadline for handing in the sacrifices? Why are you..."

"Presumptuous! A low-level one-tailed vagrant dares to question my lord, who is a three-tailed nobleman. I think you don't want to live anymore!"

The middle-aged man angrily interrupted the fox-faced old man's words, and the three long tails behind him danced wildly!

Immediately, a huge momentum suddenly spread.

As for the coercion of the superiors over the inferiors, which originated from the blood, many villagers in the audience couldn't help trembling.

"Bam! Boom! Bam..."

Immediately, everyone, including the fox-faced old man, knelt on the ground involuntarily, without the slightest resistance.

"Please calm down, my lord, the little old man doesn't dare to speak nonsense anymore."

The fox-faced old man suddenly begged for mercy with great sadness.

"Hmph, if you dare to speak back to me again, I will arrest you all as sacrifices!"

The middle-aged man shouted arrogantly, and the three tails behind him fell silent.

Feeling that the coercion from the blood disappeared, the villagers kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, but none of them dared to stand up.

For a moment, everyone lowered their heads in resignation, trembling all over, not daring to say another word.

Seeing this, the middle-aged Sanwei nodded and smiled with contempt on his face:
"Hehe, that's right, trash should look like trash."

Hearing these extremely humiliating words, although many villagers were full of resentment in their hearts, they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

"Well, my lord is not that kind of stingy person, so I'll tell you the truth.

The reason why my lord came to receive the sacrifices early today is because the Lingzu suddenly woke up early yesterday.

And without knowing why, he became very irritable and angry.

In order to appease Lingzu and make him fall into a deep sleep again, a fresh body and soul must be offered as soon as possible.

So now you guys know why my lord, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, came here today. "

The middle-aged man with three tails said proudly.

Hearing this, the fox-faced old man kneeling on the ground and all the villagers couldn't help being shocked and deeply saddened.

It turned out that the so-called Spirit Ancestor actually woke up ahead of schedule, no wonder the imperial guards came so early...

"Okay, where are the human sacrifices in your village? Hurry up and hand them over now! If you delay the important affairs of the country, you will all have to be buried together!"

The middle-aged Sanwei shouted impatiently.

However, the villagers kneeling on the ground still lowered their heads, and they all refused to point out who the person in their village was designated as a sacrifice.

Seeing this rebellious scene, the expression of the middle-aged man riding on the pangolin suddenly changed.

And just as he was furious with thunder, the three fox tails on his back began to sway again, ready to make these ignorant wastes pay their due price.

"and many more!"

An anxious cry suddenly came from a big tree at the entrance of the village.

Immediately, a thin and agile figure jumped off the tree and landed on the ground.

But it was the little shepherd boy!

"I, I am that human sacrifice, you take me away, don't hurt grandpa and the others."

The little shepherd boy resisted the fear in his heart and admitted it resolutely.

"Prisoner, who told you to come out and talk nonsense, go back quickly!"

The fox-faced old man scolded anxiously, and then begged the three-tailed middle-aged man desperately:

"My lord, in fact, the little old man is a victim of this village, let's go now."

After finishing speaking, the fox-faced old man stood up tremblingly, and looked back at the little shepherd boy deeply.

"Live well."

Then he walked towards the imperial guards without hesitation.
