Chapter 68 The Demon Exorcist is not exorcising demons (28)
The two groups of soldiers from Huitou Village and Dayan City were at a stalemate, with tensions rising.
As the farce on the battlefield intensified, Shisui drove his horse to the center of the battlefield, jumped onto the top of the iron cage, and sat down steadily.
She looked down at the soldiers from a high position and spoke to those who were dissatisfied and returned to Huitou Village.
"Let me ask you one question: are you following and pledging allegiance to Bu Yuchuan himself, or to the future city lord? If Bu Yuchuan has no hope of succeeding to the throne, will you still risk your lives to protect him?"
"This..." The soldiers were stunned.
"If you are only pledging allegiance to one successor, then you'd better wake up as soon as possible..."
Shi Sui drew her sword, pried open the cage door with a click, jumped down, grabbed Bu Yuchuan's clothes with her sword, dragged him out of the cage, and threw him onto the hot yellow sand.
Most of the soldiers did not dare to move, but there were still a few radical retainers who wanted to come up to rescue, but they were all blocked by the scorpion spirit released by Shihui.
Shi Sui swung the knife a few times quickly, cutting all the tendons in Bu Yuchuan's hands and feet.
"ah--"
Bu Yuchuan screamed in pain and rolled on the ground, like a grasshopper in a frying pan, jumping and hopping but unable to turn over.
His retainers could only beat the ground and cry.
Bu Yuchuan's hands and feet were disabled. Even if he could survive, he could not expect to become the city lord in the future.
Besides, there's no way he'd survive!
"Alright. Bu Yuchuan is now a useless man and can no longer be the general of Huitou Village."
Shi Sui put away the sword, turned around and negotiated with Bai's brother.
"General Bai, if you and I can reach an agreement and treat this matter as a personal grudge, and promise that Dayan City will never use this as an excuse to wage war against Huitou Village, then I can hand Bu Yuchuan over to you to do whatever you want with him."
After discussing with his subordinates, Bai's brother also proposed: "Then Guizhuang cannot use this as an excuse to declare war on Dayan City."
This condition is quite fair.
Shisui had no reason to refuse.
So Bai's brother ordered the army of Dayan City to retreat half a mile.
Shi Sui also drove half of Huizhuang's troops back to the city.
"Since you married my sister, why don't you treat her well?!"
Bai's brother raised his sword and questioned Bu Yuchuan.
When Bu Yuchuan was about to die, he finally felt afraid. He struggled and crawled at Shi Sui's feet, kowtowed to her, and wanted her to save his life.
Shi Sui kicked him three feet away, causing him to roll directly to the feet of Bai's brother.
Brother Bai took advantage of the situation and cut open his belly with a knife, causing him to struggle and die in pain.
Afterwards, Shi Sui struck again and cut off Bu Yuchuan's head.
You scumbag don't deserve to have your body intact.
During the whole process, Bai kept her back to them, covering her face and not daring to look.
After she said goodbye to Shisui with many thanks, she got into the carriage specially prepared for her by her brother and was about to set off to return to her parents' home.
The father of two children and former husband was killed by his own brother... For a traditional woman like Bai, it would take a very long time to digest the conflicting emotions.
Shi Sui ordered his men to throw Bu Yuchuan's body directly into the desert to feed the wild beasts.
Before riding back to the city, Bai's brother came over to thank Shisui.
"I heard from my sister that you had someone deliver her letter. You were also the one who comforted her when she was wronged in the Bu family. I would like to thank the mage on behalf of my father."
"I'm just angry at Bu Yuchuan's beastly behavior... After Bai returns, please treat her well. In your time, being a widow is not easy."
"In our era...?" Bai's brother didn't quite understand.
"It's okay, I was just talking nonsense." Shisui laughed and said, "By the way, where are the man and girl I sent to deliver the letter to you? Didn't they come back with you?"
"A man? I didn't see any man. It was just a tightly wrapped child on the street. He suddenly ran up to me, stuffed a letter in my hand, and then ran away."
"Ah, so that's it... General Bai, it's getting late. You should return to the city early. We'll see you later!"
"See you later!"
…
What on earth is that Nine Cloud Fox Demon doing?
The child who delivered the letter mentioned by Brother Bai is undoubtedly Princess Xiaojin. Then where is her father?
Where on earth did that inhuman monster go? ! !
Shi Sui sent troops to pacify the remnants of Bu Yuchuan and only after completing the aftermath work did he come to explain the situation to Princess Wenzhu.
Princess Wenzhu was not too surprised when she learned of Bu Yuchuan's death. She just ordered that the city lord, who was still ill, should not be informed of the news for the time being.
"Yuchuan deserves it. Even if he's not dead, he's no longer fit to be the city lord's successor." Princess Wenzhu calmly arranged the follow-up matters. "Tomorrow I'll call all my nephews here. You should come and help me sort it out and see which of the younger generation is even remotely capable of taking on the responsibility."
Shisui was about to answer when she heard a commotion outside the room.
As soon as she looked out the door, two bright yellow night lights shone in front of her.
Princess Xiaojin ran and jumped like a monkey and slipped into the room.
Shi Sui was about to ask her a question, but Xiao Jin was one step ahead and took out a bunch of sea buckthorn from behind her.
Sea buckthorn is a very common plant in deserts.
The dark grey branches are often covered with golden fruits, which are very popular in the local area for their thirst-quenching properties and medicinal uses.
But the sea buckthorn fruit that Princess Xiaojin was holding in her hand was a rare light pink color.
In the entire Western Regions, it is only distributed near a salt pond southwest of Huitou Village.
Dayan City, where Nine Cloud Fox Demon and Xiao Jin had gone before, was northeast of Huitou Village, while Yanwachi was southwest of it. So how did they get there?
"Mom! Big sister! I'm giving you some fruits. Aren't they beautiful?" Xiao Jin stuffed some pink sea buckthorn fruits into the hands of Princess Wenzhu and Shi Sui as if she was offering a treasure.
Shi Sui squatted down and put his arm around her shoulders: "Where's your father? Why didn't he come back with you?"
"Daddy is picking pink fruits! Daddy said he would stay there for a few days and asked me to come back first to accompany Mom."
Why spend a few days at the Salt Flats...
After listening to this, Shisui thought about it for two seconds, then slapped her forehead.
Only now did she suddenly remember that the twenty-nine cities in the Western Regions connected together actually formed a huge magic circle.
The Nine-Cloud Fox Demon was trapped in a barrier, and even a big demon like him would be affected. Hiding him in the demon-subduing gourd for some reason was actually a kind of protection for him.
During these five days, he was completely away from the Demon-Subduing Gourd, and his body might have been injured, so he needed to recuperate in the salt pond outside the barrier.
This stupid monster just kept enduring the discomfort and refused to speak!
