Chapter 251 The Miao Youth is a Proud Male Supporting Character (28)
The atmosphere was heavy, and it was finally broken by Lin Shen, who said, "Let's leave here first."
Several people nodded and returned to the inn together.
Jin Xu'an left directly, and Lin Shen and the others didn't care. The relationship between them was awkward now, and it was best for him to leave. They were enemies, and even if he helped them, it would not be able to offset the hostility between them.
There is no one in that inn now. This inn was originally used by A Jing and his friends to rip off guests. The guests from yesterday are probably either dead or escaped. It’s just that Lin Shen and Shang Meng are lucky.
Several people gathered in a room and introduced themselves, then Su Hebei asked, "What's going on?"
Shang Meng glanced at a few people, and Su Hebei said seriously: "They are all our own people."
Shang Meng nodded and began to tell the story: "Just two years ago, a wizard came to the Northern Territory, and he brought a daughter with him.
Everyone says that the wizard can understand God's will and communicate with ghosts and gods. My father wants to summon him to the palace to test its truth.
Unexpectedly, the wizard's daughter was so beautiful that the emperor's father was madly obsessed with her as if he had been bewitched and was determined to marry her.
The Queen Mother became ill from anger, and the Emperor's brother was also very opposed.
Later, my father married her against all odds, which was nothing, but she instigated my father to depose my mother, who was so angry that she never got up again. She and my father had been childhood sweethearts and had been in love for more than 40 years, but she did not expect to be betrayed by her lover, and then she was so angry that she died.
The emperor's elder brother was very angry that day and questioned his father directly in the court. The father was so angry that he sent the emperor's elder brother out to control the flood.
Originally, the emperor's brother also wanted to go, but inexplicably, news came that the emperor's brother died on the way.
I didn't believe it and made a big fuss. Then the evil queen suggested to my father that I come to the Jin Dynasty in Nandu to marry.
The wizard also said that I was doomed to fail, that I was the one who killed my mother and my elder brother, and that I would also kill my father.
My father believed it, and I was sent here, but I encountered an assassination attempt on the way. Those people were very skilled and didn't feel any pain when they were injured. They were very powerful.
Then my confidants and I fled here and stayed in this inn. I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, I had moved to another place. My confidants are probably dead. "
Shang Meng's words made the atmosphere in the room even heavier, and everyone was immersed in the tragedy she described.
Lin Shen thought for a while, then said, "You said those people wouldn't feel pain, right?"
Shang Meng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Lin Shen thought for a moment, then continued, "Have you heard of puppetry?"
Several people were stunned for a moment. Su Hebei suddenly paused, as if he remembered something. He said, "That man seems to be a puppet."
He was referring to A Jing, whose behavior was both human and puppet-like, which was very strange.
Shang Meng also raised his own questions: "But I see that person has some human characteristics, he can laugh and..."
Lin Shen narrowed his eyes. Of course he knew what was going on.
Yu Wuyan said in a daze: "Could it be that he was originally a human and was turned into a puppet?"
Several people fell silent. If this was the case, who was the person behind him? This speculation was obviously not right.
Lin Shen knocked on the table, interrupting their thoughts, and said affirmatively: "He is a puppet. He is not a person who has been refined, but a puppet himself."
Several people were silent. They trusted Lin Shen's words very much, so everyone was a little sad for a moment. This man was very strong. He was not only related to Jin Xu'an, but also seemed to be related to the Shang Dynasty in the Northern Territory.
Lin Shen narrowed his eyes and thought about his next plan.
Finally, it was Su Hebei who broke the silence. He asked Shang Meng, "What are your plans next?"
Shang Meng thought for a moment and said firmly, "I will return to the Northern Territory and kill those two people."
Su Hebei thought about it, then looked up at Lin Shen, who nodded in agreement.
Su Hebei smiled and said to Shang Meng, "You can come with us. We are going to the Northern Territory together."
Shang Meng was stunned, looked at the other two people, confirmed their attitudes, and asked: "Is it okay?"
Lin Shen and Yu Wuyan nodded one after another. Shang Meng pursed her lips and said gratefully, "Okay."
Lin Shen was delighted. Although the process was a bit tortuous, fortunately all the protagonists were gathered together.
After the discussion, several people found a room to rest and prepared to set off early tomorrow morning.
The next day, the four of them packed up and set off. A lot of things happened along the way, and they occasionally helped each other, and their relationship improved by leaps and bounds and became better and better.
They only quarrel occasionally, especially Suhebei and Shang Meng, who always like to argue.
Yu Wuyan is the most well-behaved, but she always likes to stick to Lin Shen, which always makes Su Hebei angry.
The group walked for several days. Although the journey was difficult, they supported each other and finally arrived in the Northern Territory.
Standing under the tall city wall, the four of them couldn't help but feel deeply moved. All the things were hidden in this place called the Northern Territory.
They entered the city and found an inn that looked relatively lively and stayed there.
Shang Meng wore a veil, cleverly hiding her identity and not attracting anyone's attention.
The four of them found a corner to sit down, and while waiting for their food, they listened to see if there was any useful news around them.
The inn was bustling with guests coming and going in an endless stream.
Lin Shen walked to the counter, asked for four rooms, and then ordered some food.
When the waiter saw Lin Shen's appearance, he was stunned for a long time. He had never seen such a good-looking person.
He nodded with a slightly red face. Lin Shen suddenly came closer with a smile and said, "Waiter, I want to ask you something."
The waiter was so stunned by Lin Shen's beauty that he couldn't think straight and stammered, "Go ahead, go ahead."
Lin Shen then asked, "I want to ask, didn't a wizard come to the Northern Territory? I heard that he has the ability to know the will of heaven and communicate with ghosts and gods. I'm really curious, is he really that powerful?"
The waiter came to his senses, looked around, then waved to Lin Shen and whispered in his ear, "That's right. There was a severe drought around us a few days ago. The wizard said that we only needed to sacrifice a thousand children to pray for rain. Who knew it would really work? But all the thousand children are gone."
Lin Shen paused and asked, "Dead?"
The waiter shook his head and answered seriously: "I heard that he was sent to heaven to be a fairy boy, otherwise why would he disappear."
Lin Shen paused, then said with a smile: "It is indeed amazing."
Lin Shen returned to the group and told them in a low voice what he had just heard.
The faces of all three of them turned dark, especially Shang Meng, whose eyes flashed with anger and sadness.
They all knew that the wizard's so-called "prayer for rain" was nothing but a cruel scam, and those one thousand children were probably turned into puppets.
Shang Meng clenched his fists, and his hatred for the wizard and the demon queen deepened.
