After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 89 The Bride of the Mountain God

Mount Dian, where the Peak Tower is located, is located in Yuecheng.

After coming out of Ling Xiao Pavilion, Qu Chu, Ning Youbei and Yan Hong rushed to the next city, Yizhou.

Just entering the boundary of Yizhou, a village is blowing and beating a bride to get married.

The three of them stopped and rode their horses to give way to the side of the road.

Ning Youbei said softly: "Ah Chu, don't you think they are strange?"

Qu Chu didn't see anything, Yan Hong said from the side:

"It's a bit strange, not to mention the bridesmaids who didn't welcome their relatives, and the bride-to-be, and the wedding procession wasn't happy at all."

"Can't it be a special case?"

Qu Chu was puzzled:

"Maybe the groom is sick and can't come to greet the bride? Or is the bride forced to marry?"

Yan Hong said:
"According to folk customs, even if the groom is unable to come to greet the bride due to special circumstances, someone will come instead. But you see, there are no greeters in this team, only people who send off the bride."

Only then did Qu Chu observe carefully again, and sure enough, as Yan Hong said, the whole team was downcast.

It's not surprising that Yanhong knew about these things, because she had been in the private sector for many years after all, but how did Ning Youbei know?
Qu Chu leaned sideways towards Ning Youbei, "Hey, how did you see that?"

Ning Youbei wore a mask, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, but his beautiful peach eyes were shining with stars.

"Ah Chu, I'm very smart, you'll know in the future."

It really is……

Give some starlight and it will be brilliant!
He boasted before he even praised him!

Qu Chu didn't bother to ask him anymore, and continued to observe the team.

Ning Youbei poked Qu Chu again, "Ah Chu, go ask them what's going on?"

Why are you asking yourself again?

However, Qu Chu resigned to his fate and got off the horse.

She grabbed a person and asked:

"Brother, are you sending a bride to marry? I see that you don't seem to be very willing. If you are forced, I will stand in for you."

The man looked at Qu Chu, seeing that Qu Chu was in his 20s, full of righteousness.

"Are you from out of town?"

Qu Chu replied: "Yes."

"That's no wonder."

The man sighed:

"More than half a year ago, a mountain god suddenly appeared in the mountain temple in the back of our village. He said that we would send a girl with yellow flowers who arrived on the [-]th to serve him on the [-]th of every month. He would ensure the safety of the whole village. Otherwise, he would God's punishment will fall on the village."

"You believe this too?"

"If you don't believe it, you can't do it!"

The man went on to say:

"In the first month, no family in the whole village was willing to donate their daughters, but the sky fire fell that night, and almost all chickens and ducks were burned.

There were also voices from above, saying that it was a slight punishment for us.He said that if he didn't follow suit next month, it would be people who died instead of chickens and ducks.

In the second month, we sent a girl to Shanshen Temple, and everything was fine.

So we can only send it. "

Qu Chu doesn't believe in these ghost stories, she thinks there must be someone playing tricks.She suddenly thought of the Taoist Master Xuantian that Dongfang Pavilion Master had mentioned.

Doesn't Taoist Xuantian just need a virgin to enhance his skills?

Could it be that these girls are all prepared for Taoist Xuantian?The reason for making a mountain god is just to deceive people?

With this thought in mind, Qu Chu went back to discuss with Ning Youbei.

"I want to go to the mountain temple to have a look, but what do you do?"

Ning Youbei said: "Of course I'm with you."

Qu Chu looked at Yan Hong again.

Yan Hong said: "General, have you forgotten? My hearing is different from ordinary people."

Qu Chu didn't forget, she was just worried that if something happened, she wouldn't be able to protect the two of them.

Yan Hong seemed to understand Qu Chu's worry, and said:

"In case something happens, general, you just need to protect the prince, I have my own way to escape."

Qu Chu said: "Then you should be careful then."

……

The three followed behind the send-off team.

The bride-to-be team left the hijab-covered bride at the Shanshen Temple and then left.

It was already evening, and there was no one else around except the three of them.

Yan Hong listened carefully, "General, there is nothing abnormal now."

The three of them entered the mountain temple.

This mountain temple is not very big, it is a bit dilapidated, and there are spider webs on the corners.There is only a tall clay statue of the mountain god in the temple, which is dusty and dull.

Presumably it was because the sacrifice of the bride made people in the village panic, so everyone lost their minds and came to worship the mountain god.

There was a person sitting on a slightly older chair, a girl in a red wedding gown, and she sat there with her head covered and weeping depressedly.

Because she didn't dare to cry loudly, she shook violently all over her body.

Qu Chu stepped forward and took off her hijab.

Under the hijab was a young and fresh face, but it was full of panic at the moment, and the white powder and rouge on the face was stained with tears.

Facing a pair of panicked eyes, Qu Chu was thinking about what to do, Yan Hong said from the side: "Someone is here."

Qu Chu could only say hastily:
"We are from the government. We are here to find out the truth of the matter. You should sit still later."

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether the girl understood what he meant, Qu Chu put down the hijab, grabbed Ning Youbei with one hand and hid behind the mountain statue.

Yan Hong also hid behind the mountain god statue.

Qu Chu listened attentively, she heard the footsteps of three people.

She made a gesture of three towards Yanhong, Yanhong nodded.

Qu Chu pointed to himself in the direction of the outside, and then pointed to Ning Youbei and gestured to Yanhong, meaning that she would rush out later and let Yanhong take care of Ning Youbei.

Yanhong nodded again.

After a while, the footsteps got closer and closer, until the visitor stepped into the mountain temple.

……

The visitor first looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual before speaking.

"I don't know what the girl looks like this time. We took that girl back last month and got scolded a lot, but can we blame us?"

Another said:
"Isn't it? I need one every month. It's good to have one. I still look forward to how good it will be."

Another person said: "Stop talking nonsense, take this person away first."

After listening carefully, Qu Chu made sure that there was no one else nearby, so he jumped out.

These three people were not martial arts experts, Qu Chu subdued them with just a few strokes of kung fu.

Seeing that there was no danger, Ning Youbei and Yanhong also walked out.

"Who are you?"

Qu Chu began to question one of them, but no one answered her.

Qu Chu has many years of experience in dealing with secret agents, so he naturally knows how to trick people.She took a pill from her body and fed it to one of the men, forcing him to swallow it.

After a while, the man was writhing in pain.

Qu Chu said coldly:
"If you don't say it, if you don't say it, you will die suddenly with a cup of tea."

The man still gritted his teeth and said nothing.
