How could things become like this.
The tribesmen were just stunned for a while, and soon broke into a heated argument. Only a few of them remained where they were, shocked beyond measure by this sudden announcement.
They forgot how they got back to the tent, and they just felt like zombies. The clan leader originally wanted to prepare a tent for Shanhai alone, but he refused and chased after his friends in some embarrassment.
In the end, Shi Wuqi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hey, have you seen Hu Yanyi's expression? Oh my god, it's so exciting. I wish I could eat the mountains and seas alive."
"No, wait" Mu Wan's mind still hadn't turned around, "Didn't he say we can leave tomorrow? How..."
"Let's go, let's go our own way, and Shanhai will stay and get married. Don't worry, we will definitely inherit your wish and find the lost Wangui Zhi..."
Dai Luan said enthusiastically: "Can we watch the wedding before leaving? I have never seen such a big girl."
"Me too." Mu Wan agreed.
Shanhai frowned on the side and was speechless for a long time. He always felt that these people had forgotten something important.
For example, the wishes of the parties involved.
The clan leader didn't even bother asking, but these brothers who had been through life and death also followed suit, which was too hurtful.
Exceed the score.
"Don't tell me, Taji is actually very good-looking."
Aluan described the appearance of the princess to the two of them, omitting the frightening sick appearance, but it did sound somewhat touching. She said that that kind of beauty is rare in the hinterland of the Central Plains. It is the unique beauty of the grassland people and no one can imitate it.
"To be honest," Mu Wan said, "Didn't the patriarch ask his daughter's opinion... Why don't we ask for it and see if Tartar really likes Shanhai. If she doesn't like it, let her talk to the patriarch. If She said it was difficult for her father to do something..."
"Then I'm attracted to you." A Luan elbowed him.
At this time, Shi Wuqi suddenly made a silent gesture. He pointed outside the tent, where two night watchmen were talking.
"I heard that when exorcising evil spirits, someone saw that the princess's shadow had several tails..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"It's true, but the witch doctor said it was possessed by evil spirits, and it's gone now."
The other man motioned for him to be quiet, probably because he realized that the guest's tent was next to him. So they all shut up and walked away.
Although some of the accents are hard to hear clearly, the general idea is that. Shanhai also understood, he nodded and said:
"That's true. The princess has a strong demonic aura...but I think she should be fine now."
"...Brother" Shi Wuqi looked at him with strange eyes, "But she is indeed a monster."
"……ah?"
Several people suddenly looked at him.
"What, what's wrong, I thought you all knew from the beginning..."
"Really or not, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Mu Wan's tone was a little dissatisfied.
"No, I thought you all saw it."
Dai Luan also hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
"No, Wu Qi, you have to know that it is impossible for a human tribe to use monsters as candidates for the clan leader."
"...What if it's adoption?" Shi Wuqi felt strange, "No, wait, you really didn't see it, right? And she is very strong, even the demonic aura can be completely restrained."
Dai Luan said seriously: "I understand."
"What do you know again?"
"Shan Hai is getting married to the monster sister."
"..."
Mu Wan was just teasing him at first, but when he thought about it, it was too inhumane to give his partner, who had lived and died together, to the monsters as food reserves... No, as husband-in-law. What if it's a mantis spirit again?
is inappropriate.
Aluan came up with a blind idea: "How about... let's run overnight?"
"Run? How to run? I don't know if there are guards at the door. I'm afraid they will follow the groom when he gets up at night." Shi Wuqi said half-jokingly, "Why don't you stay and get married? We'll find Wan Guizhi." I'll pick you up and go. Look, they won't stop us."
Shanhai had a terrible headache and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"But...how could it be a monster? No one has ever mentioned her mother. Is she still alive? Could it be that her mother is a monster?"
Ah Luan was thinking wildly when Shi Wuqi shook his head and said:
"No, she is indeed a monster and has nothing to do with humans. Everyone can see that."
Several other people stared at him.
"..."
"But there is indeed a problem with monsters mixing in the crowd. It would be inappropriate to ask the clan leader directly about this matter. If we leave it alone, we don't know what extraordinary things she will do."
"So you want to stay and get married?" Weapon looked at him.
"I didn't say that. But it would save some trouble if we could talk to Tartar directly."
"Let's talk about it casually when we get married." Mu Wan rolled her eyes, wondering if she was mocking him for being nosy, "Don't mention us, just the Tartar Princess's tent has guards on the three floors inside and outside. Especially that one Hu Yanyi, you feel so sorry for the princess, can you let us in easily?"
Shi Wuqi pondered for a long time and suddenly raised his head.
"not necessarily."
"What……?"
Everyone looked at him again. Shi Wuqi took out a packet of powder from his lapel, about the size of a handful. A faint fragrance floated out. Mu Wan sniffed it and said she thought the smell was familiar.
"Borrowed it from Miss Yuting."
"Jade……"
"This powder can make people fall asleep. But the camp here is too large, so it will not be enough. We can't escape with it alone. However, if we only light it upwind near the princess's camp, we may be able to temporarily stun some guards. . At that time, Shanhai can go in and ask questions."
A Luan raised his hand.
"how?"
"What if the princess fell asleep?"
"...She's in the camp, so it shouldn't be possible."
Mu Wan raised his hand.
"So what?"
"If the princess scolds him for breaking into the camp and making a scene, wouldn't we be able to escape?"
"It's all Shanhai's fault, it has nothing to do with us. Next one."
Shanhai didn't even raise his hand.
"Wait, why am I alone?"
"You are stupid. You are safe if you go alone. Besides, if you are caught, there is nothing you can do to the future patriarch. If we go with you, wouldn't it be really doomed if we are caught?"
Why does it have to be based on the premise of being caught...
However, since Shi Wuqi believed that Tartar Ji was a monster, the trip to Shanhai must be risky. In addition to the possibility of being forced to have sex early, if it is really a mantis spirit or the like, it will be really difficult to deal with. Shi Wuqi said that the rest of them couldn't sleep, and they had to pay attention to what was going on here at all times to prevent accidents. The medicine takes about an hour to take effect, and dissipates faster in an open-air environment like this.
In short, Taoist priest Lin really went for it.
Everything went well. It was late at night, and the guards were already a little distracted. In order to celebrate the princess's recovery, they all drank a lot of wine, and some of them had already fallen asleep by the tent. Shi Wuqi carefully avoided them, quietly burned some powder at the upwind vent, and fanned them gently. Fortunately, the wind was not strong tonight, and the guards at the downwind soon began to yawn, and soon everyone collapsed nearby.
He gestured to the mountains and sea in the distance. Shan Hai shook his head and approached the princess's tent.
"What are you doing?"
Shi Wuqi's back suddenly straightened up, and he turned around to see Hu Yanyi staring at him warily. He coughed twice in embarrassment and blocked a handful of smoking ashes at his feet.
"I lost my fan. I'm looking for it."
"found it?"
"found it."
As he spoke, he opened his fan and fanned twice. A faint fragrance rushed to Hu Yanyi's face. He frowned and coughed a few times.
"It smells like powder."
"My girl likes it." Shi Wuqi smiled, "Young Master Huyan's sweetheart must also like these things."
"...I don't have a sweetheart."
With that said, he turned around, as if he didn't want to talk to Shi Wuqi anymore. But he followed closely, fearing that he would divert his attention to the mountains and sea. He quickly moved forward to block the view, and then asked Hu Yanyi more questions.
"Young hero, you really don't have anyone you like? That's a pity. I still have some extra rouge and gouache that you can give to her."
"I don't want anything from you foreigners." He glared at Wu Qi.
"Hey, your eyes are so scary. Don't worry, Young Master Huyan, didn't you just admit that you... have feelings for a girl?"
The unsmiling Hu Yanyi frowned and looked at him, and finally sighed as if he was giving in.
"What's the use? She's about to get married."
Still admitted it.
"This...hey. By the way, it's so late, why don't you rest?"
"The wolf demon hasn't been caught yet. I'm worried that it will come back and cause trouble."
Seeing Shi Wuqi leading him to another place from a distance, Shan Hai breathed a sigh of relief and crept into the princess's tent.
It feels like being a flower picker, but the psychological quality is far different.
It was impossible to see even one's fingers in the dark tent. But as soon as Shan Hai turned around, a small group of flames spread out, lighting up the orderly candles in the account. Shan Hai looked at the girl sitting in the center calmly. She was well-dressed, and she didn't look like she was about to take a rest. She also wore their unique white velvet felt hat on her head, which looked very nice. She was still very beautiful and healthy, but some of the previously hidden demonic aura was revealed intentionally or unintentionally. Tartar also looked at him calmly, as if she knew he would come.
"You plan to come and see me, I hear you." Her voice was deep.
"Offended. In that case, let me get straight to the point: What is your purpose in disguising yourself as a human woman?"
"You dare to question me? Aren't you afraid that I will eat you?" She let out a few sinister laughs.
"Not afraid."
"You are quite brave at your young age. However, I advise you to be smarter. If I tell my father that I have fallen in love with you, you will still have to stay with me - don't worry, the groom will not be cured just after we get married. Death is the truth, so you have to be careful... If you come to beg me to give up this marriage, I can also tell my father that I don't like you, and then let you go."
Shan Hai shook his head.
"I'm not here to negotiate terms with you. I just want to know why you pretend to be a human."
Taoist priest Lin looked at him calmly. The firelight illuminated his face clearly. Against the light, Tartar's expression was gloomy.
