Fighting the World: Supreme Valkyrie

Chapter 261

Hearing Xi'er's words, several people couldn't help raising their brows, and looked at her in surprise, thinking to themselves, these two people bicker every time they meet, but seeing Zijing injured this time, Xi'er It was strange, strange, that she would let her beloved Ichiro carry him behind his back.

Only Qingran glanced at the two of them, and smiled lightly: "Then let's go on! His injury is healed now, and the remaining poison will slowly dissipate. Don't worry, he will be fine when he wakes up." All right."

"En." Several people nodded and continued to go forward.

After another half a month, Qingran and the others finally came to the farthest border of the Eastern Continent. This is the remotest place in the Eastern Continent. It is called Licheng. Licheng can be said to be a wealthy town because there is a Yangtze River here. The city residents here rely on the Yangtze River for their livelihood, and the aquatic products harvested from the river can be transported to other places for sale. Licheng is also famous for its rich aquatic products.

However, what outsiders don't know is that there is an unwritten rule in Licheng that every year a beautiful woman must be tied up and sent to the river, said to be given to the Dragon King in the river, so that He can keep their Li city safe and sound throughout the year, and there is plenty of fish. It is for this reason that the families with daughters in Li city have all moved to other places. However, there are still many who cannot escape being tied up. Sent into the fate of Oe.

This day is the fifth day of May. According to the custom in previous years, on this day, a girl will be tied up and sent to the river to be a maidservant for the Dragon King at the bottom of the river. The streets and alleys in the early morning Because of this incident, it was crowded with spectators. When Qingran and his party came to this Li city, they saw such a scene.

The street was full of spectators, and among the crowd, there were eight men carrying a shelf, and a young girl was tied to the shelf, wearing a beautiful dress and delicate makeup, but it was a pity that At this time, the girl was crying silently, and her sad eyes were looking at the young man who was caught by several men in the crowd.

The sympathetic eyes of the people on the street, watching the excitement, fell on the girl one by one, and they whispered something to the people next to them from time to time.

"Let me go! Let me go! Xiaojuan, Xiaojuan..." The captured young man yelled loudly, trying to break free from the people who were pulling him, but he was not as strong as them. Unable to break free, he could only watch helplessly as his beloved woman was tied up and sent to the river by them, heartbroken and helpless.

"Don't quarrel! If you quarrel again, I'll kill you!" One of the men who was pulling him shouted viciously, clenched his fists, and beat him hard in the stomach.

"Hmm..." The man let out a muffled snort as his fist was knocked down, tears streaming down his eyes unstoppably.

He is unwilling, he is unwilling!That was his beloved woman who was about to get married, why did she even want to arrest Shen Jiang?If he had the ability, if he had the ability to take her out of here, she wouldn't be like this now...

"City lord, city lord, I beg you, let Xiaojuan go! City lord, city lord, I beg you, please..." The man begged loudly, but the man in the Chinese clothes who was walking in front couldn't stop. He didn't even frown.

"Pull him away, don't let him follow!" the city lord of Li City said expressionlessly, and after glancing at the man, he continued to walk forward with big strides.

The few men who heard the order pulled the man aside, and said in a warning tone: "Did you hear that? If you dare to make trouble again, you will be arrested and sent to Chenjiang too! Hmph! It's really a thing that doesn't know what to do!" , beat the man violently, and when he was dying, he saw that the group of people had already left the city gate and headed for the river, so he threw him aside and warned: "Stay here for us obediently!" , don’t try to keep up, know that our fists are harder than yours!” As he said, he kicked the man on the ground and followed the team in front of him.

Qingran and the others who watched this scene frowned, what was going on?Li Cheng is going to Shenjiang with that girl tied up?Why?The enthusiastic Xi'er came to the side of the young man who was left aside one step earlier, and asked, "Are you all right?"

Hearing the sound, he raised his head and looked up again, seeing a new face he had never seen before, he couldn't help but lowered his head, crying silently, and then tried his best to get up from the ground. I couldn't even stand firmly, and before I got up, my hands slipped and I fell down again.

"You are all injured, where do you want to go?" Xi'er saw that he was trying to stand up regardless of his injuries, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, let me help you up! "

Seeing this, the young man was taken aback for a moment, shook his head and said in a choked voice: "My hands are dirty, miss, get out of the way! You can't help me with my affairs." As he spoke, he supported the wall Get up.

Yi Zijing came to his side, looked at the group of people going out and said, "We happened to pass by here, so can you tell us what was all that just now? And what is it all about?"

Hearing their words, the man paused for a moment, tears streaming down his cheeks silently, after a while, he raised his sleeves and wiped the tears on his face, and then he said with a sob: "Shen Jiang, what are they going to do?" Take her to Shenjiang."

When Xi'er heard this, she jumped up immediately: "Ah? Shen Jiang? Why? Did she do something wrong? How could she be Shen Jiang?" If a living person was tied up like that and went to Shen Jiang, those people would also Too cruel.

"You are foreigners. I don't know. Although this Licheng is a big town, every year a girl is drowned in that big river, and it is said that it is given to the dragon god in that river. Many people in the city go to other places. Go, we have no money, so we can only stay here. The girl who was tied to the frame just now is called Xiaojuan. She is the beloved woman I will marry next month, but because her father lost money in a bet, she has no money to pay off the debt. In order to get the 100 taels of subsidy that every Shenjiang girl has, she was tied up and sent to the city lord. I was happily preparing for the marriage, but I didn't want to see her being sent to the university just now on the street. Riverside." The man wiped away his tears sadly as he spoke, and said, "I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to find Xiaojuan, even if I can't save her, I can't let her be sunk alone. to the bottom of the river."
