Chapter 19 I am such a man
Yun Qing looked down at the scene that had just happened from above the general's mansion. As expected, the mask was not simple.
Xiang Ding still didn't believe in evil, so he pulled down Ao Tunying's mask. As a result, he dragged Ao Tunying down, dragged him for more than ten meters, and crashed another door, but the mask was still there.
The old general was furious, took out an ax and a sledgehammer from his arms, and spat twice into his palm.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiang Ding sat cross-legged, stroking his beard and drinking tea. Next to him was a curled ax and a cracked sledgehammer.
Aotun Yingji sat next to her and rubbed her neck, "I told you, it's useless."
"Tell me, what is the origin of this weird mask?"
Otunying said seriously, "It belongs to the little prince!"
The little prince is the source of this rebellion in northern Xinjiang.
He has nothing to do with Aotunhao, the king of northern Xinjiang, and belongs to another large tribe that stands side by side with the Aotun tribe.
Otunhao was once known as the King of the Grasslands, and the little prince's father was known as the "King of the Gobi", so his only son became a famous little prince in northern Xinjiang.
The little prince is not young anymore, he is almost forty. He has long replaced his father. He had been developing the camel breeding and transportation industry in the Gobi and made it prosperous.
However, a few months ago he went crazy for no apparent reason. He suddenly put on a ghost face mask and called on his tribe to rebel against Dayue.
Moreover, the army's combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and it quickly captured several small and medium-sized tribes. Even the army organized by Otunhao was no match for him.
Only then did Northern Xinjiang request the imperial court to send troops. Hulu knew that the Aotun family had a feud with the young prince, and Aotunying had not returned to her hometown on the grassland in ten years, so he added her as a deputy general in the expedition list.
Just by fighting, the general was defeated, so Otunying became the chief general in countering the rebellion, gained the greatest military merit, and was personally named "The Second Warrior of Dayue" by Hulu Yubi.
"After I defeated and killed the little prince, the mask he wore disappeared. The reason why I was reluctant to return to the court was to search for this mask, because I guessed that the rebellion might be related to this mask."
Xiang Ding said in disbelief, "You can think so deeply?"
"Oh, it's not what I thought, it was my father."
Xiang Ding nodded, "That makes sense."
"Later, I finally found the mask on the little prince's son. The boy was at the end of his rope. However, when he was about to die, he put on the mask and burst out with terrifying power. My father and I teamed up to hang him, saying It seems a bit overwhelming."
"This mask has such power!" Xiang Ding took a breath of cold air, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods. Even if His Majesty said that he had seen goddesses and immortals, he would only regard it as the lust of young people. Now~ "
"You believe it now?"
Xiang Ding breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go on, tell me how you put on this mask and how you feel after putting it on."
Ao Tunying continued, "At that time, Brother Lu had just returned from Zen and issued an order to search for immortals across the country. You also know that my father was very ungrateful. After hearing about it, he asked me to donate this magical mask to him. Brother Lu, you will definitely be able to please him."
Xiang Ding thought to himself, the dog has bad intentions, "What next?"
"Then, when I was about to enter the city, I wanted to be more imposing, so I put on this ghost face mask. If anyone tried to put it on, it would be impossible to take it off, as if it had grown on my face!" Otun Ying regretted.
"Any reaction after putting it on?"
"It seems that my strength has become stronger. I used to be able to carry a tripod, but now I can carry three tripods!"
Ding is Xiang Ding, a unit of measurement for heavy objects.
"Besides, he has a bad temper and gets irritable easily." As he said that, Otunying hammered a floor tile.
"This thing is a bit evil. Your father dared to offer such an evil thing to His Majesty. I really don't know how he died."
"Yes, after this happened, I don't dare to give the mask to Brother Lu. If he can't take it off, how can he kiss my sisters-in-law in the future?"
Otunying touched the mask and could only barely stick out her tongue from the hole in her mouth.
After all, Xiang Ding has become a mature man and has rich experience. He suggested, "When I was a child, I listened to my mother telling stories next to the tall grain piles. Magic weapons like this require blood to be recognized as the owner. How about you try it?"
"Yes!" Otunying was greatly inspired.
Hearing this, Yun Qing couldn't help but stop him.
Ordinary magic weapons will just drop blood. If you are unlucky, you will be unable to recognize the owner and be unable to activate it. However, this mask is full of evil. If you really have to drop blood to bind it, it may cause future troubles.
At this moment, the voice of guard Dafang came from outside the door, "General, there is someone in the palace again!"
"See you, see you!"
"But this time it's Princess Ping'an."
"Ah, this~"
Heping was just born when Okuno Sakura entered the palace. Although they were eight years apart, the two of them could be considered playmates who grew up together.
Before Poppy entered the palace, Otun Ying was the eldest sister of several princesses and the first child king.
"Let her come in~"
Ao Tunying chose to turn her back to the visitor, with Xiang Ding protecting her.
"Sister Yingzi, why don't you enter the palace? My father just found you a new sister-in-law and you haven't met her yet~"
As soon as Hu Ping'an came in, he was chatting like a family member, "Ah, Captain Xiang is here too."
Seeing the old man on the side, Hu Pingan's loose style restrained a bit and he solemnly saluted him.
Xiang Ding nodded, and Aotunying said without looking back, "I'm too tired from the battle. I'll go back in a while. What are you doing here, Xiaopingan?"
Ping An wanted to go around to the front of Aotunying, but was blocked by Xiang Ding's huge body.
Aotun Ying, "You little girl, don't beat around the bush, talk about something when you have something to say."
Hu Ping'an snorted, "I am delivering the order on behalf of my father, you accept the order."
Otun Ying, "I'm listening, just tell me."
Hu Ping'an didn't care that Ao Tunying didn't kneel down to receive the order, and started reading directly.
"Otunying, I am very happy for your meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion. I know that you have a noble character and are not interested in gold, silver, wealth, high officials and generous salaries. I really can't think of anything to reward you, so I will reward you by following me and being a good person for me. Personal bodyguard, you don’t need to be too grateful, I am a man who knows rewards and punishments clearly."
Seeing that Ao Tunying hadn't turned around yet, Hu Ping'an, a young adult, turned his hands away and said, "I've finished reading, Sister Yingzi, what do you say?"
I want to beat you to death!
Ao Tunying bit her molars and said, "Thank you, Lord!"
What's wrong with Sister Yingzi, can you bear this? Hu Ping'an was suspicious for a while, and finally added, "I heard that others are paid for running errands when delivering orders."
Xiang Ding took the imperial edict and took out a large pile of silver from his arms, "I'll give you the silver. Princess, go back to the palace to play and take a walk."
"Ah...I...this..."
Just like that, the princess, who was full of questions, was sent away by the two of them.
Ao Tunying looked at the words on the imperial edict and was so angry that she wanted to tear it up. She had won such a big victory, and not only made herself a Taiwei, but at least became an Admiral of the Nine Sects, he actually asked herself to be his bodyguard. Too much!
She stood at the door of the mansion and looked at Hu Ping'an who was walking away. She angrily smashed the door of her house and broke a hole in it.
Xiang Ding pulled her back and said, "Okay, Your Majesty is provoking you to enter the palace."
"Old Xiang, this mask must be removed. Just now I actually wanted to kill Ping An and the other three!" Otun Ying was terrified.
"So magical!" Xiang Ding took another breath. Suddenly, he was startled, "Wait a minute, what are those three?"
Ao Tunying said, "It's Ping'an and the two maids beside her. One is Chunhua beside sister-in-law Linglong, and the other is unknown to her."
Xiang Ding stroked his beard, his fingers trembling slightly, "Don't be joking, Yingshuai. The eldest princess is only accompanied by a maid!"
