The high priest slowly stood up and said, "Then we are allies from today on. However, the heiress is currently in seclusion. When she comes out in two days, I will take you to see her."
Shen Ruoxi nodded. It would only take two days, she could wait.
As soon as I came out of the astrology room, the commander of the guards came up to me and asked, "Sister, is she?"
The high priest nodded: "Yes."
The commander of the guard army looked at Shen Ruoxi again: "I didn't expect that the old pervert's apprentice would be a nobleman of our Baiyu clan. How ironic!"
"What did you say?" For the first time, there was a ripple in the high priest's tone, which had always been emotionless.
The commander of the guard army covered his mouth and immediately pointed at Shen Ruoxi: "She said it herself, she is the disciple of the head of Yuanshan Sect!"
"Are you Boyu's apprentice?" The high priest frowned and looked at Shen Ruoxi.
Shen Ruoxi was about to say something when she heard the high priest speak again: "Is he still alive?"
Shen Ruoxi was somewhat touched. She didn’t expect that this beautiful priestess still cared about her master.
"Actually, I haven't seen my master for many years, but I'm sure he's still alive!"
The high priest was silent for a moment, then sneered, "It really is a scourge that has lasted for a thousand years."
Shen Ruoxi: …
What kind of unforgivable evil did her master do to deserve such hatred?
After becoming allies, the high priest's attitude was obviously much better than before. He ordered everyone not to disrespect Shen Ruoxi, and asked someone to prepare a guest room for Shen Ruoxi to stay in Baiyu Village temporarily.
But she didn’t expect that as soon as she left the stilt house, Shen Ruoxi was stopped by someone and hugged by the thigh.
"Save me! Princess, save me!"
Shen Ruoxi lowered her eyes. She didn't expect that the person kneeling at her feet was actually a man. This was the first man she had seen since she entered the village. She couldn't help but feel curious.
The man was wearing a valuable satin shirt, but it couldn't hide his thin and frail figure. His long hair was disheveled, and the dark circles under his eyes were particularly prominent.
If you smell it carefully, you can also smell the unique scent of rouge and powder that is common on Han women.
The whole person has an inexplicable sense of disharmony.
"I've heard it all. You are General Luo's daughter. I am a soldier under General Luo's command. I mistakenly entered Baiyu Village and have been subjected to inhuman abuse every day. Princess, please have mercy on me, save me, and take me away from here!"
Shen Ruoxi raised her eyebrows and looked at the high priest beside her.
The high priest didn't even look at the man, and said calmly: "Sister, please explain to the princess so that she won't be frightened by such a situation in the future."
"I understand, sis."
Seeing the high priest leave, the guard leader sneered and kicked the man on the butt: "Ji Chun, you are so bold! How dare you speak nonsense in front of my sister and mistakenly enter Baiyu Village? How dare you say such a thing?"
The man froze, and continued to hug Shen Ruoxi's thigh, pointing at the people around him and crying: "Princess, they are not ordinary people at all, each of them is a vixen who sucks human blood. I didn't deliberately become a deserter, I was lured in by them using their charm, I am innocent!"
"Temptation? That's not wrong. After all, compared to the constant war, the gentleness of our White Feather women can indeed be considered a temptation."
"What a damn gentle place! You crazy women are sucking me dry!"
The commander of the guard army laughed out loud: "The women of our Baiyu tribe are all conscientious. It's not that we haven't given you a chance. You are just greedy and want to learn something else but to learn to cheat. Now you know you can't stand it?"
"You have to endure it even if you can't. You haven't given birth to thirty sons for the women of the White Feather Tribe yet, so don't even think about running away! Come, capture Mr. Ji and tie him back to the bed. Ten people are assigned today. If you don't complete the task, you won't be allowed to eat!"
"Ten people!" The man was struck by lightning, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. He was soon taken away by the Baiyu people who were carrying spears.
After dealing with the man's problem, the commander of the guard army glanced at Shen Ruoxi and chuckled: "Does the princess understand?"
The corner of Shen Ruoxi's mouth twitched. She was already married with children, so of course she understood what this meant.
"We in the White Feather tribe have more women than men. Trash like him is only fit to be a stud, to carry on the family line for the women of the White Feather tribe."
Shen Ruoxi took a breath and said nothing.
"My princess, are you also tempted? I will also invite you to the grand banquet in a few days. Your looks are as good as those of the women of our Baiyu clan, so you will definitely be sought after. Add to that the secret medicine of our Baiyu clan, and you will definitely be in ecstasy!"
As he spoke, the commander of the guards placed his hand on Shen Ruoxi’s shoulder.
Shen Ruoxi got goosebumps on her back instantly, and quickly dodged: "That's not necessary, that's not necessary, just enjoy yourself, I'm tired and I'm going to rest first, Commander, please do as you please!"
Even after walking a distance, Shen Ruoxi's heart was still pounding.
She finally understood what the "public" mentioned before meant. If she really went to the banquet, wouldn't Azhou turn the village upside down?
…
Shen Ruoxi has not been idle these past two days. Within her range of movement, she has inspected the local soil and crop growth conditions.
The Baiyu tribe has a limited population, so there is still a lot of wasteland. If these lands can be utilized, both the people in the border areas and the soldiers will have a source of herbs.
But if she prevents their heir from becoming leader, will the White Feather people still agree to cooperate with her?
Shen Ruoxi was just thinking about whether there was a solution that would satisfy both parties, when she suddenly became extremely panicked. Then she heard hurried footsteps and sporadic voices coming from outside the door.
"Something happened, something serious happened..."
Shen Ruoxi pushed open the door and saw the crowd heading towards the stilt house where the high priest was.
She randomly grabbed a young White Feather girl and asked, "What happened?"
The girl glanced in the direction of the stilt house and said, "I heard that after the heir came out of seclusion, he went to the back mountain to fight Cheng Huang. He almost lost his life and was already unconscious when he was found."
Shen Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat.
Something happened to Wanwan, no wonder she was so panicked just now and ran towards the stilt house.
When she arrived in front of the stilt house, many villagers from Baiyu Village had gathered at the door. The villagers knelt on the ground in unison, chanting something, all praying for the people in the house.
Shen Ruoxi went straight into the house, but she didn’t expect to be stopped by someone just as she reached the stairs on the first floor.
"The high priest has ordered that no one, no matter who, is allowed to approach."
Shen Ruoxi walked back and forth anxiously. Through the gap, she saw a girl lying on the bed dying. Just this one glance, Shen Ruoxi had a feeling.
This must be her daughter Wanwan!
