[Chapter 397 Chapter 397 The Vicious Fake Goddess (8)]
"Let me go! Let me go!" The girl lying on the horse struggled violently.
Yan Qing threw her down.
The girl who fell to the ground covered her fallen arm, looked around, and looked at her defensively: "Why did you bring me here?"
There was lingering hatred in her almond-shaped eyes, and a hint of resentment on her tense little face.
Yan Qing looked her up and down. The girl in front of him was about the same age as the original owner. She had an oval face and her skin was not fair, but a healthy wheat color that had been exposed to the sun and wind on the grassland.
"You want revenge?" She rode closer on her horse and looked down at the girl.
The horse lowered its head and snorted as the girl approached.
The girl looked up and met her gaze. Somehow the hatred in her heart suddenly disappeared: "Yes."
She answered firmly.
Although he was unable to defeat Cheng Su personally, the man in front of him did save him from the clutches of the devil.
She should be grateful to her.
Being able to cause such a huge turmoil with just two people, do they have a way to help her avenge her family?
Yan Qing sneered: "Just you?"
The hope that had been burning in the girl's eyes turned into despair again. She lowered her head, and her hands, which were supporting her on the ground, tightly grasped the yellowed dry grass.
Yes, there was no way she could get rid of that beast with her own hands.
Even if she had not been caught and brought out just now, the hairpin in her hand would not have been able to pierce Cheng Su's heart.
Instead, she would lose her life at the hands of those soldiers.
Seeing that she remained silent, Yan Qing pulled the reins to change direction and said to the young man who was also riding a horse next to him: "Brother Tusang, it's time to go back to the river to get something."
Tusan glanced at the girl sitting on the ground, frowned, and swallowed back the words he wanted to say when he saw Yan Qing's cold face.
"Gee!" Yan Qing clamped his legs against the horse's belly.
The two headed in the direction where the luggage was.
Seeing that they were walking so decisively, the girl hurriedly got up from the ground and chased after them with all her strength.
"Wait for me! Please wait for me!" she shouted, the wind rushing into her throat, making her feel as uncomfortable as swallowing sand.
The person in front of her was almost gone, but she was not going to give up.
At this moment, there was only one thing in her mind, which was to find the person who had just saved her.
Now she is all alone and helpless. If she cannot avenge her parents and brothers, what is the point of living?
But if you look back, you will just lose your life in vain.
Her only chance is to grab the life-saving straw that appears in front of her.
No one knew how many times she fell, but she stood up firmly again and again, and even when she couldn't run anymore, she forced herself not to stop.
She only knew that she should go to the river.
"Miss Yan Qing, aren't we leaving?" Tusang asked doubtfully as he tied the luggage to the horse.
Seeing that he was still so polite, Yan Qing patted Xiao Bai's head and chuckled: "If Brother Tu Sang is still so distant, why don't we just go our separate ways."
Tusang looked at her smiling face and coughed softly: "Ms. Yan Qing... uh... Sister Qing..."
The smile on Yan Qing's lips widened. Is this right?
She asked Xiaobai to go back and help Qiang Zhi take care of his sister-in-law and Aunt Maya. She had no intention of bringing this guy into the royal city.
First, the little guy belongs to the free and vast world of the grassland. If he follows her, he will only be restricted.
Second, now is not the time for her to be too ostentatious.
The ability to tam beasts should be used at critical moments.
After Xiaobai reluctantly left, she turned to Tusan and answered his words: "I still have to wait for someone."
Tusan didn't ask who it was, but nodded with a smile: "Okay."
His eyes fell on the girl's face, and his heartbeat suddenly became faster when he thought of how alert she was in the camp.
The girl not only considered how to deal with the soldiers, but also thought of a retreat for the captured girls.
Thinking of this, he felt a little ashamed.
If the girl had not found the camp, he would not only fail to rescue the people but might even lose himself due to his lack of careful thinking.
Qing...sister...
Qingmei...
He chewed over this name in his mind countless times until he could pronounce it fluently.
Yan Qing suddenly moved closer, leaned forward, and stared at him with his face up: "What are you thinking about?"
She asked this unexpectedly, and the young man with his head lowered couldn't help but blurt out: "Qingmei."
Before Yan Qing could respond, he blushed and made an excuse to escape: "I, I'm going to catch some fish."
"Xiaobai caught it." She pointed to the remaining fish bones.
Tusan froze in his tracks. He wanted to find something to do to ease the embarrassment, but he didn't know what to do.
He fumbled about his body with his hands in confusion, then walked to the horse and rummaged through the packed luggage, pretending to be very busy.
Yan Qing walked up to him and patted his horse's head: "Brother Tusang wanted to assassinate Cheng Su before, right?"
The ridiculous things done by the eldest prince of Beiyou Kingdom had already spread throughout the grassland, so it was not surprising that she could call out Cheng Su's name directly.
Tusan paused, looked into her eyes seriously and nodded: "When I saw him, my brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and the flashing memory told me that he was my enemy."
The anger and hatred that arose suddenly almost made him lose his mind.
Yan Qing was slightly startled. She stepped forward and patted the young man's arm: "Don't worry, Brother Tusang. Whether it's hatred or resentment, there will always be a chance to avenge it in the future."
There is no line about Tusang in the plot. It only mentions that there was a Fourth Prince Cheng Wu in Beiyou Kingdom who was killed by the First Prince and the Second Prince.
If the equation that Tusang is Cheng Wu is true, does it mean that there is some conspiracy behind the robbery of the herdsmen by horse bandits?
Everyone else died at the hands of the bandits, including Tusan, who was hacked to death while trying to protect Uncle Ge'an and Aunt Maya.
The original owner escaped the disaster because he was hidden by Gesang in a hole dug to store dried meat.
It was later that she saw a familiar face in Tantra and recognized that this person was one of the people who abused her sister-in-law. Only then did she firmly believe that the culprit was Tantra.
If Tusang is involved, it will involve a fight for the throne.
This matter must be closely related to the eldest prince and the second prince. As a vested interest, can Cheng Xu, who finally becomes the crown prince, stay out of it?
Yan Qing felt that it would be best to kill him with one blow.
After figuring out some clues, she had her own thoughts in her mind, and there was a little more joy in her eyes when she looked at Tusan.
Being stared at by her, Tusan turned his head away uncomfortably: "Qingmei, don't look at me like that."
The girl's eyes looked murderous, and under this straightforward gaze, his whole body seemed to be on fire.
His heart was pounding like a drum that was jumping around on its own, trying to escape from his chest.
"Here it comes." Yan Qing curled his lips mysteriously and withdrew his gaze that made him nervous.
Tusan glanced to the side and saw the girl who was left behind stumbling towards him.
"I found you." Her body was staggering, but she kept her legs stiff to prevent herself from falling, and her eyes full of hope were fixed on Yan Qing.
Yan Qing took out a pot of water from the bag on the horse's back and handed it over: "Tell me your name."
The girl pursed her dry lips and said, "Lan Yin, my name is Lan Yin."
After saying that, she took a gulp of water. For a moment, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of her swallowing, except for the noise made by the passing wind.
"Lan Yin Xu Guo, what a nice name." Yan Qing asked Tu Sang to bring her some dry food.
After she had enough food and drink and regained her strength, the girl bent down towards her and said, "I'm sorry."
Then he knelt on his knees and said, "Please let me follow you, young lady."
Bowing is an apology, kneeling is loyalty.
"Why are you following me?" Yan Qing didn't help her up, but raised his eyelids and asked.
Lan Yin did not stand up, but stood up straight, meeting her probing gaze without any fear: "I want revenge."
It’s not “want”, but “need”.
She was originally just an ordinary shepherdess, living a simple pastoral life with her parents and brothers. They were not rich, but they had enough.
Until Cheng Su tried to take her away by force under the banner of searching for the goddess, and was opposed, her family members all died at the hands of those guards.
She folded the only sharp hairpin on her body, a gift from her brother, in half and hid it in her sleeve, waiting for the opportunity to stab it into Cheng Su's neck.
Obviously, she did not succeed.
If Yan Qing hadn't taken her away, she would have surely died at the hands of those people.
After listening to her uneasy story, Yan Qing ignored her and got on the horse.
The light in Lan Yin's eyes gradually dimmed. Thinking that she didn't want to accept him as a burden, she crawled in front of the horse and tried again.
But I heard the girl's clear voice like heavenly sound: "Then follow me."
When I looked up, I saw a white, slender hand reaching out to me.
Yan Qing pulled her onto the horse, and when the first ray of dawn light broke through the sky, the three of them headed towards the royal capital together.
The reason why I chose Lan Yin was because I saw the determination in the girl's eyes when she was determined to die.
A person who does not care about life and death is more likely to become a skilled knife.
As a goddess, she always needs a personal maid by her side.
Instead of following those people to place spies, it is better to choose a more suitable one.
The girl wants revenge, she is the only hope.
So Lan Yin can only rely on her.
Yan Qing did not plan to enter the city directly, but instead chose a village bordering the grassland thirty miles outside the city and stopped.
If she took the initiative to visit, the other party would probably doubt her intentions and think she was a spy from Nanjiang.
She also had no intention of following the original owner's path and allowing the Tantric people to capture her.
"Lan Yin, help me dress up." She chose the best empty room and sat in front of the bronze mirror.
A goddess should act like a goddess, and she is not prepared to be a fake.
Due to years of war and chaos, only the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled were left in her village, and the rest who could escape had already fled.
Those who can't run can only stay and wait to die.
She asked Lan Yin to tie up all her black hair and decorate it with pearl flowers. The clothes she wore were designed by her. The plain white skirt made her look more fairy-like.
The rouge and powder in front of her were exchanged by Tussan with traveling merchants outside the city.
When she was dressed up, Lan Yin beside her was stunned.
"So beautiful..." Lan Yin couldn't think of a good adjective, so she just said the two words that were flooding her mind.
Yan Qing lifted her chin and said in a drawn-out voice: "How beautiful is it? Hmm~"
The girl's cheeks turned redder than the glow in the sky. Under her bold teasing, she began to stutter and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Tusan knocked on the door and pushed it open after she answered.
Seeing the person in front of him who looked like the Saint Maiden of Snow Mountain, his feet seemed to be stuck in place as if they were glued.
Yan Qing gave up teasing Lan Yin and looked at him sideways: "Have you found out everything?"
The young man changed out of his grassland hunting clothes and put on a black robe without any complicated brocade patterns. The plain robe just showed off his tall and straight figure.
Tusan had a silver mask made for her as she said, covering her entire face.
This way, I can stay by her side and avoid my enemies from looking for me.
Tusan came back to his senses, and was thankful that the mask on his face blocked his dazed expression and concealed the blush on his face.
"Several forces are preparing to return to the city in the near future. The people sent by the Third Prince are approaching here."
He said so.
Yan Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Go find some patients."
"Okay." Tusan didn't know what she was going to do, so he never asked any questions and just followed her orders.
It seems that she has already entered the role of the goddess's waitress.
She treated the villagers and the herbs she used were all brought by birds.
With the accumulation of medical skills from several dimensions, her medical skills can be said to have reached a superb level, and she can easily treat some difficult and complicated diseases in the eyes of the public.
Seeing the silver needles flying between her fingers, Lan Yin was so surprised that he covered his mouth, fearing that he would accidentally make an exaggerated exclamation and disturb her.
Tusan's eyes were as bright as the stars, removing everything else and only accommodating her graceful figure.
He did not doubt the origins of Yan Qing's methods and only regarded them as blessings bestowed by the Lord Beast God.
He had long been convinced that the girl was a goddess, but a sense of melancholy flashed through his heart as if the bright moon was hanging high in the sky but he could not reach it.
Yan Qing asked Tusang and Lan Yin to spread the news of the goddess's appearance, and then all they had to do was wait for the right person to come.
The one who comes faster than the destined person is the destined wolf.
Xiaobai jumped in from the window with a howl, and kept bumping into her, rubbing his head against her chest and abdomen.
Lan Yin was startled, thinking it was going to hurt Yan Qing, so she picked up the chair next to her and rushed over: "Don't touch my young lady!"
Yan Qing smiled and stopped her: "Don't worry, Xiao Lanyin."
Xiaobai lay on the ground with his four legs up in the air, swinging his paws in the air, exposing his belly and waiting for her to rub it.
Yan Qing flicked its belly: "Why are you back?"
"Aoaoao~" Xiaobai jumped up, rubbed her hand with his mouth, and spit a jade pendant into her palm.
She looked carefully at the item in her hand. The jade pendant was of fine texture and exquisite carving, with a small word "Heng" carved on the back.
Knowing the plot, she easily recognized that the owner of the jade pendant was Qi Heng.
In order to show his respect for Qi Heng, Cheng Xu not only lowered his status to become sworn brothers with the son of a guilty minister, but also specially asked someone to polish two jade pendants for him.
As a testimony to their brotherhood.
Cheng Xu's ability to control his subordinates is truly admirable, otherwise he would not have allowed Qi Heng to go through fire and water for him, regardless of his own life or death.
Xiaobai stuck out his tongue and said, "This is given to you by the boss. Don't be fooled by the fairies in the city and forget about us."
In human terms, this is a token of love.
But, who's token of love is just a token of offering to Buddha?
With its animal thinking, it certainly didn't understand the ins and outs of this. It only knew that the jade pendant in front of it was the only valuable thing on its poor boss.
Yan Qing impatiently drove it away: "Finish what I told you to do first."
He asked Lan Yin to take the jade pendant to be cleaned with disgust.
Such important things should always be returned to their original owners.
