The tribesmen were just stunned for a while, and soon a heated argument broke out. 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 they were walking zombies. The clan leader originally wanted to prepare a tent for Shanhai alone, but he refused and chased after his friends in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
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 wonderful. 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 haven't seen anyone so big."
"Me too." Mu Wan agreed.
Shan Hai 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.
It’s okay if the clan leader doesn’t ask, but these brothers who have been through life and death also start to boo, which is too hurtful.
Too much.
"Don't tell me, Tatar Ji is actually very good-looking."
Aluan described the princess's appearance to the two of them, omitting the frightening sick appearance, but it did sound a bit moving. She said that that kind of beauty was rare in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and was a beauty unique to the grassland people.
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." Aluan elbowed him.
At this time, Shi Wuqi suddenly made a silent gesture. He pointed to the outside of 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 person signaled 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 were hard to hear clearly, the general idea was this. Shan Hai also understood, he nodded and said:
"That's true. The princess has a very 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 of giving his partner who had lived together in adversity and death together as a reserve food to the monsters... No, it was too inhumane to treat him as a husband. What if he turned out to be a mantis spirit again?
It's 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. You see, 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, then 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 large 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."
Aluan raised his hand.
"how?"
"What if the princess fell asleep?"
"...She's in the camp, so she shouldn't be."
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 we 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 believes that Tartar is a monster, then the trip to Shanhai must be risky. In addition to the possibility of being forced to have a wedding early, if it is really a mantis spirit, it will be really difficult. Shi Wuqi said,
The rest of them cannot sleep, and they must pay attention to the movement here at all times to prevent accidents. The medicine takes about an hour to take effect, and it dissipates faster in an open-air environment like this.
In short, Taoist priest Lin really took the plunge.
Everything went well. After midnight, the guards were a little absent-minded. In order to celebrate the princess's recovery, they all drank a lot, and some of them had already fallen asleep by the tent. Shi Wuqi carefully avoided them and stood in front of the tent.
I quietly burned some powder at the upwind vent and fanned it gently with a fan. Fortunately, the wind was not strong tonight, and the guards at the downwind vent soon began to yawn, and soon everyone collapsed nearby.
He gestured to Shanhai in the distance. Shanhai shook his head and approached the princess's tent.
"What are you doing?"
Shi Wuqi's back suddenly straightened, 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, "Huyan Shaoxia's sweetheart must also like these things."
"...I don't have a sweetheart."
As he said that, he turned around, as if he didn't want to talk to Shi Wuqi anymore. But he followed him closely, for fear that he would divert his attention to the direction of the mountains and sea. He quickly moved forward to block the view, and then faced
Hu Yanyi asked further.
"Young hero, you really don't have anyone you like? That's a pity. I still have some extra rouge and gouache here, and I can ask you to give it 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 a crush on the girl?"
The unsmiling Hu Yanyi frowned and looked at him, but finally sighed as if giving in.
"What's the use? She's about to get married."
Still admitted it.
"This... oh, by the way, it's so late, why don't you take a rest?"
"The wolf monster 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.
I feel like a flower picker, but my mental quality is far different.
No one could see his hand in the dark tent. But as soon as Shan Hai turned around, a small flame spread out, lighting up the candles arranged orderly in the tent. Shan Hai looked calmly at the girl sitting in the center. She
She is well-dressed and does not look like she is going to rest. She is also wearing their unique white velvet felt hat on her head, which is very beautiful. She is still beautiful and healthy, but the evil spirit that was previously hidden has been revealed intentionally or unintentionally. Tartar Princess
She also looked at him calmly, as if she knew he would come.
"You plan to come and see me, I heard it." Her voice was low.
"I'm offended. In that case, I'll 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 laughed sinisterly.
"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 should 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 being."
Taoist priest Lin looked at him indifferently. The firelight illuminated his face clearly. Against the light, Tartar's expression was gloomy.
