The Xi beast ran away quickly.
At this time, three teams ran out from the hiding places in the east, south and west directions and quickly protected Mrs. Han and her daughter. The leader was Zhuge Teng, the governor of Luoyi.
It was obvious that these teams were not riding horses for fear of making noise from the horses, so their mission was only to drive away the Xi beasts and protect the Han family and their daughter.
As for the north, where there were no defenders, the direction was planned in advance and deliberately allowed the Xi beasts to evacuate.
Along the way Xi Beast ran away, there were constant sounds of firecrackers, and war horses constantly rushed out from both sides to pursue him.
Judging from the clothes, armies from all countries were mixed together, followed by many hunters, as well as farmers and woodcutters holding farm tools.
Although Xi's front paws were somewhat injured and his speed was not as fast as before, the pursuers behind him were still unable to get closer and always kept a certain distance from it.
The cavalry on both sides could obviously be the first to come out to encircle, but they had to wait until Xi Beast ran past before showing up to pursue him.
As long as the Xi beast changes its direction, more firecrackers will explode around it, forcing it to escape along a fixed route.
After this continued for a certain period of time, a big river appeared in front of Xi.
But the river that was still flowing just a month ago was now covered with a thick layer of ice.
It is possible to break through the ice and escape from the water, but the pursuers behind it will not give it this time.
After a moment's hesitation, Xi Beast jumped onto the ice and flew along the river using the advantage of its sharp claws on the ice.
The pursuers behind them abandoned their horses and ran onto the ice, but they fell down because their feet were too slippery. The people following behind were tripped by the fallen people, and suddenly everyone fell on their backs.
Even those who didn't fall couldn't keep up with Shang Xi's speed. They could only watch the Xi beast slowly disappear from sight.
Finally getting rid of the pursuers behind her, Xi secretly rejoiced and kept running forward along the river.
After running for about a stick of incense, Xi finally felt a little exhausted, but found that the river suddenly narrowed, and a large open net suddenly appeared on the ice, blocking the way.
Normally, given the height of this net, Xi could jump over it with a full leap.
But now its physical strength is exhausted, its front paws are injured, and the ice is extremely slippery. If it jumps upward, it will only fall into a trap.
Just when he was thinking of countermeasures, a round of arrow feathers rushed from the south bank.
Xi subconsciously rolled over, jumped onto the north bank, and continued to escape.
The shouts of killing rang out from behind. Xi knew that someone had been ambushing here, so she used her last strength to jump in the forest.
Unexpectedly, the sound of firecrackers sounded around him again, and the pursuers appeared again.
But the team guarding here is very different from the ones that drove it away before. Judging from the costumes, they are all Qin troops, the arrows fired are all flying crossbows, and even the number of firecrackers has doubled.
Slowly, Xi's escape route was compressed into a "passage" that was not wide.
It ran towards the mountain ridge, but just after a leap, it suddenly felt its feet soften, and with a pop, it fell into a big pit.
There were a lot of thorns at the bottom of the pit, which were so thorny that Xi's body was covered with blood.
A big net fell from the sky, completely blocking its way out.
Xi was about to bite through the rope, but her huge open mouth froze there.
Just hearing a "buzz", Tai Sui, who was lying in ambush nearby, sensed Xi's arrival and launched an attack.
Xi's nerves were stimulated and she collapsed to the ground, almost unable to move.
"Caught! Go and report to the king..." Before he could finish his words, the sergeant had already collapsed to the ground.
The soldiers behind him also fell to the ground one after another as if they were suffering from epilepsy.
The team further away did not dare to come forward easily when they saw this, and quickly sent someone to ask the King of Qin for instructions.
Not long after, Ying Zheng arrived. He ordered everyone to stay where they were, and only took Li Si to check.
Meng Wu hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, the Xi beast seems to have cast some kind of magic. The soldiers who approached him all fainted. Your Majesty, it's better not to take risks yourself. Wait for me..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng: "That was not done by Xi Beast. It was also frightened. You and your people will guard all the roads. Don't let anyone get close. Nothing will happen to me." .”
Meng Wu did not dare to disobey, so he had to lead Wei Liao, Meng Yi and others to surround the area tightly.
Ying Zheng first came to the fallen sergeants and saw that their lives were not in danger, but had just fainted. He felt a little more relaxed, and then came to the side of the trap.
Looking at the bruised Xi, Ying Zheng sighed and said, "Why are you doing this?"
The moment she saw Ying Zheng, Xi suddenly gave up her struggle and started laughing: "Finally, you caught me."
Ying Zheng knelt down, looked directly into Xi's eyes, and said, "Tell me, why are you doing this?"
Xida took a few breaths, seemingly getting a rare chance to rest, and then said relaxedly: "You, the Tiancheng clan, only value the nine guardian beasts, make weapons and totems for them, and you even promised them that in the future We must regard them as the nine sons of the dragon."
"And we, the deputies, get nothing, why, why!!"
At this moment, Ying Zheng discovered that the resentment buried deep in Xi's heart was so heavy and deep.
It is jealous of Yaizhen, but never shows it, and this resentment will only accumulate deeper and deeper. Once it breaks out, it will only cause the complete loss of reason.
"Why don't you just ask me what you want?" Ying Zheng asked, "You asked me to carve your image onto 'my weapon', didn't I do it?"
Xi said coldly: "You did it, but don't you also want to destroy my totem?"
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Your persistence has now turned into stubbornness. Who said that this is the only way to make you famous in the world? I can leave you a myth and legend, an idiom story, and an A festival to commemorate, this can make the people remember you."
"..." Xi was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Ha, hahaha... It doesn't matter, I have already used my own way to let everyone know the name 'Xi'."
"Are you just going to use this method of hurting people?" Ying Zheng said angrily, "Hundreds of years later, people will still say that there was a monster named Xi at that time. It harmed people everywhere, attacked livestock, and made people panic. The people are in dire straits.”
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Do you want a reputation that will last forever?"
"..."
In one sentence, the question left Xi speechless.
It desperately wants everyone to remember its name and know its majesty, but it is definitely not this kind of bad reputation.
In an instant, all the evil spirits and fighting spirit in Xi's body were gone, and her body became limp and weak.
Ying Zheng continued: "Our world is different from your dragon clan. Within Jiuyou, you may be able to show your power with your own strength, but here, people will instinctively fear the aliens who can threaten them, and Unite and fight hard because they have no idea who you are."
"Even if you know, no one can tolerate your misbehavior."
Along with Ying Zheng's words, Xi's eyes gradually lost their brilliance, and emotions of regret and regret slowly took over its entire heart.
"What's the use of what you're saying now." Xi said slowly, "From the moment I left Lishan, I knew there was no way out, but I didn't want to be punished by Yazhen."
Ying Zheng sighed and said: "Indeed, it is too late to say anything now. The only thing that can eliminate the panic and anger of the people now is your life."
"Haha..." Xi laughed instead, "I broke the rules between the two clans and deserve to be punished. However, I don't want to die at the hands of Yaizhen."
Ying Zheng simply sat down next to the trap: "I don't understand. Since you are so angry with Yaju, why don't you openly fight with it?"
Xi slowly shook her head and said, "I can't defeat it... What's more, in that case, wouldn't it make you laugh at our dragon clan's incompatibility."
Ying Zheng thought: If you do this, we won't laugh at you? There is no logic in this.
"I guess I asked you to use the Xuanyuan Sword to kill me, right?" Xi continued, "Did I also give you some poison?"
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, but... I don't intend to deal with you like that."
"I can't tell, you are quite loyal." Xi said, "It's better not to use the poison. It will have a corrosive effect on your Xuanyuan Sword, and it will also completely erase my memory."
"I will not make things difficult for you. As long as you agree to my two conditions, I will quit."
We are already in this situation, and we are still negotiating terms.
But if Xi could kill himself, it would be a good outcome for Ying Zheng.
"Tell me and listen." Ying Zheng said.
Xi straightened his body with willpower, raised his head and said: "First of all, I feel that the power of the firecrackers is indeed huge, and its lethality is even more than that of the magic weapon 'My Weapon'. Since you destroyed 'My Weapon' for the sake of peace for future generations, ', then the firecrackers should also be banned, or the gunpowder stored in them should be banned."
Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, and then said: "What you said makes sense. In terms of danger alone, gunpowder is indeed far superior to 'my weapon'. There is no reason for me to let it cause harm to future generations. This first point... I agree. "
Xi smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "The second point, as you just said, the people will definitely be happy if I am eliminated, so let's designate this day as a festival, at least in the thousands of years. In the years to come, people will still chant my name when celebrating festivals."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's nose felt slightly sore.
The giant beast in front of him no longer had any aggression at all, just like a dying old man, kindly explaining his funeral arrangements.
If it hadn't stood against the people of the world, Ying Zheng really wouldn't have wanted it to die.
"Okay, I promise you." Ying Zheng said, "Every year from now on, the people will hold a grand event. This festival is called 'New Year's Eve'."
Hearing that Ying Zheng fully agreed to its two requests, Xi smiled happily: "Okay, after I die, transport my body back to Lishan and don't let the people see it."
"Prince Qin, farewell!"
After saying that, Xi growled lowly.
All the joints in its body were crackling, its pupils were getting redder and redder, and blood was slowly flowing from the corners of its mouth and nose.
Plop...
Xi's head hit the ground hard, her eyes closed, and she stopped breathing.
