Chapter 264 Weighing the Pros and Cons



The sight sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

"What is that?"

At this moment, a man who had been following Village Chief Hao suddenly turned red-eyed, his face contorted with rage, and lunged forward to grab the village chief by the neck.

The force was terrifying.

Jiang Qingwan quickly ran over, checked on the situation, and then suddenly remembered something.

Wheat's father said that there were five other people who had the same symptoms as Wheat.

However, it has already been cured.

She didn't pay attention at the time, but now she realizes something is wrong.

There's one here now, and four more in the village.

Bai Shuo chuckled sinisterly, "Four bloodthirsty puppets are slaughtering the village. Will you save them or not?"

The village dogs were barking wildly.

The situation was clearly extremely urgent.

Jiang Qingwan quickly shouted, "Li Dou, trap him!"

Li Dou immediately did as instructed.

Jiang Qingwan took out a talisman. Her spiritual power was exhausted, so she could only bite her finger to draw a talisman to save people.

In the moment when everyone was distracted, Bai Shu seized the opportunity and used his magic to quickly escape.

Jiang Qingwan was a little out of breath.

"Stop chasing, let's go back to the village!"

Mo Yunhan quickly came to her side and pulled her into his arms.

"Can it hold up?"

Jiang Qingwan raised her small face and smiled at him.

"Isn't there still you?"

Fortunately, they returned to the village in time, and there were no casualties, except for a few people who suffered waist injuries and were poisoned by Gu.

After everything is dealt with.

It's almost 9 PM.

The county magistrate has returned to the county office with Bai Shu's portrait and is preparing to issue an arrest warrant.

Village Chief Hao was very grateful and warmly asked the villagers to prepare beef and mutton and light a bonfire.

They dug up the Daughter's Red wine that had been buried for many years to entertain them.

Although it cannot compare to the treasures of the royal palace, the taste is still excellent.

Jiang Qingwan drank a few too many cups of wine.

Village Chief Hao was by his side, still somewhat worried.

"This Tai Sui is still here, what should we do with it?"

Jiang Qingwan said, "The Tai Sui has eaten people, so it can no longer be worshipped. I will take it away tomorrow and find a place to seal it, then it will be safe. Without the Tai Sui, that evil spirit will no longer come to your village."

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Hao finally felt relieved.

Some villagers are skilled dancers who move gracefully in front of the bonfire, keeping time with the rhythm of the drums and gongs.

Many people joined in.

Jiang Qingwan also became interested and pulled the aloof Mo Yunhan to stand up.

"I'll go dancing too."

Mo Yunhan was stunned.

"Dance...?"

Without saying a word, Jiang Qingwan pulled him into the crowd.

"Can't you jump?"

"You can learn from them, it's very simple."

The villagers' dance is not complicated, but it has a strong sense of rhythm.

Jiang Qingwan quickly adapted and danced in front of Mo Yunhan to the rhythm.

Her pretty little face looked even more lively and charming in the firelight.

Mo Yunhan felt his heart pounding uncontrollably.

All the surrounding noise became blurred, only the person in front of him truly existed in his world.

Lian'er stood next to Li Dou and smirked.

"Your Highness's movements are so stiff, it's hilarious."

Li Dou pursed his lips and looked down at her.

"Do you...do you want to go play?"

Li Dou's changes during this period had already stirred up Lian'er's heart.

Hearing this, she gave him a coquettish glance.

"Will you stay with me?"

"good."

Li Dou actually pulled her along and mingled into the crowd.

Night Seven, holding his sword, looked at Ao Sui.

Before she could even speak, Qing Sui rolled her eyes.

"I won't jump."

Ye Qi choked for a moment, then rolled her eyes in retort.

"I didn't ask you to jump."

Aoho glared at him.

"Then why are you looking at me like that? Want to fight?"

Ye Qi brandished his longsword.

"Afraid of you?"

The two stared at each other, then turned away at the same time, ignoring each other.

Zheng Chengye, sitting in the corner, watched Jiang Qingwan dancing with Mo Yunhan in the crowd.

His eyes held a complex expression.

He's not stupid.

If Jiang Qingwan hadn't risked her life to save him today, he would have died long ago.

But before that, he was puzzled about her.

The guards beside him were from the Prince's mansion.

After today's events, and in this setting, the distance between the young master and the guards has disappeared.

He nudged Zheng Chengye with his shoulder.

"Why are you looking so dejected? We were amazing today, fighting evil spirits with the Princess. It was so exciting! You really impressed me, managing to stand up and form a formation a second time. To be honest, I was so scared my legs went weak."

Zheng Chengye withdrew his gaze.

Suddenly, she turned her head and asked, "Am I really that bad?"

The guards immediately shook their heads.

"Much braver than me."

Zheng Chengye gave a wry smile.

"But the first time we formed the array, it was because of me that things went wrong, and I almost dragged you all into it."

The soldier was extremely magnanimous.

He patted him on the shoulder.

"But the second time, it was your courage that gave us a boost."

Zheng Chengye turned his gaze to Jiang Qingwan again.

"Would she... think the same way?"

"Who? The princess? I don't know, you can go ask her. She's your family, what are you afraid of?"

The soldier's words deeply moved Zheng Chengye.

He muttered to himself in a low voice.

"family?"

The bonfire party went on until very late.

Jiang Qingwan eventually got drunk and was carried by Mo Yunhan to the carriage to rest.

The others did not disturb the villagers and all stayed temporarily in the ancestral hall.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking.

Mo Yunhan woke everyone up, carried the Tai Sui, told the village chief, and then left Dapo Village.

Jiang Qingwan was still fast asleep.

Her rosy cheeks, wrapped in a cloak, made her look like a soft and docile little rabbit.
