Chapter 83 Sacrifice

Chen Hui's mind was full of various documentaries that she watched before she was wearing them and the strange customs of those strange tribes in the publications. She felt that she might be over. If it was really strange custom, she would never be able to do it! If it really came to that point, she would... she would confess that she was Li Youde's person and try to let them exchange her and Li Youde's benefits! As for whether they were willing to agree, whether Li Youde was willing to agree, it was not something she could control.

Chen Hui followed Princess Yatai with great worries, and people kept greeting Princess Yatai along the way. She even saw the man who had spent a good night with Princess Yatai before. However, Princess Yatai was not very special to him, nodded and left, and the man did not show a similar loss. Maybe they had a simple relationship that they needed?

Chen Hui didn't have time to think about it. In front of her was an altar that she had never seen when she came. The altar was all made of wood, about two meters high from the ground, and the altar was about the size of a room, and there was nothing on it at this moment.

Princess Yatai asked Chen Hui to wait in place, and after leaving for a moment, she returned, with a woven wreath in her hand.

"You hold it." Princess Yatai said.

"Oh." Chen Hui nodded. She could still do something with something.

Princess Yatai asked Chen Hui to wait again and left.

Chen Hui had nothing to do, so she stood there with some restraint, watching Princess Yatai walk towards a middle-aged man. The man's dress was almost the same as other men, but the fabric and fur on her clothes were a little more. I don't know what Princess Yatai said to him, and his eyes glanced at Chen Hui from time to time, making Chen Hui's heart pound, but she didn't dare to look directly at her.

After a while, Princess Yatai came back. She smiled and said, "My father agreed."

"What do you agree with?" Chen Hui asked.

Princess Yatai said, "When the sacrifice begins later, you go up with me and you will be a goddess."

"...what?" Chen Hui looked surprised. Isn't she a melon-eating crowd? What's going on when she suddenly becomes a guest on the show!

Princess Yatai smiled and said, "In the past, the prayer dance was a man and a woman, the woman was a god, and the man was a human being. The male priest danced prayer dance to the goddess in order to get the favor and grace of the goddess. This year, my priest sacrifice is still a goddess. No one in our clan is whiter than you, you are the best."

"...White?" Chen Hui was simply confused. What is the reason?

Princess Yatai said for granted: "The legendary goddess's skin is as white as the moonlight, of course you are the most suitable. It is not difficult. I will dance around you in a while, and you don't have to respond. When I kneel down in front of you, you put the garland on me and the sacrificial ceremony will be completed."

"...Can I say no?" Chen Hui said.

Princess Yatai didn't seem to expect Chen Hui to refuse, and said in surprise: "This is the highest honor of the Xi clan. Do you really want to refuse?"

Chen Hui was speechless. She was not from the same cultural system as them. Standing on such a high platform and being watched by so many people, it was simply shameful to play!

"If you don't want to, there's nothing you can do." Princess Yatai said regretfully, "I can only tie you up."

Chen Hui felt relieved when she heard the first half of the sentence. When she heard the second half of the sentence, she hurriedly said: "No, I want it! I just ask..."

Princess Yatai smiled and said, "That's good. Come with me, and the sacrifice will begin soon."

Princess Yatai led Chen Hui to a tent not far away. As soon as she entered, she found that there was another person inside, a woman in her thirties and forties. When Princess Yatai came in, she respectfully bowed, and then the two of them started to speak in a gusto.

Chen Hui couldn't understand, so she could only observe around her boredly. On the ground in front of her, there were some clay pots, and the jars were filled with colorful oily liquid, which looked like some pigment.

... Could it be what she thought?

As soon as Chen Hui thought came up, she was pressed on the stool by Princess Yatai who had finished speaking. Then the woman came over, picked up a small brush stained with yellow unknown objects and wiped it on Chen Hui's face.

Chen Hui subconsciously hid for a while, but was held down by Princess Yatai. She said, "Don't move."

Although Princess Yatai didn't explain anything, Chen Hui took the other person's momentum and dared not move any more. Of course, she could roughly guess that she just wanted to draw some patterns on her face, she had seen it on TV!

Chen Hui, who was knowledgeable, stared at the woman and followed her face, thinking that this was equivalent to covering her face with a mask, which would at least make her feel less ashamed for a while.

Seeing that Chen Hui'an was quietly not struggling, Princess Yatai let go and watched with her chest.

The woman quickly painted Chen Hui's face and asked her to hang it aside, and then went to deal with Princess Yatai.

Chen Hui couldn't see her appearance without a mirror, and she didn't have much interest. She couldn't really become a "goddess" after all. She would have seen Princess Yatai look like she was.

Princess Yatai's face was painted with several colors and patterns. The ostentatious colors and brushstrokes, coupled with her heroic appearance, showed even more momentum.

A strange drum beat suddenly sounded outside, followed by a low musical sound similar to a trumpet. In this melodious and mysterious soundtrack, Princess Yatai led Chen Hui out of the tent.

There was a circle of people outside, but no one spoke, and there was only silence. When they saw Princess Yatai appear, the crowd immediately looked over, and the eyes were fluttering, warm and respectful. The two gave up a passage in front of them. Princess Yatai and Chen Hui walked forward slowly and finally arrived at the altar. Princess Yatai signaled Chen Hui to step on the temporary steps first. She had no choice but to walk to the center of the altar step by step with those scorching eyes.

Princess Yatai circled around the altar, taking strange steps, each step echoing the music. After turning for almost three times, she suddenly climbed on the edge of the altar and climbed up with force.

It was not until this moment that Chen Hui relaxed a little. Princess Yatai didn't come up. She almost thought they were going to burn her to death! Fortunately, Princess Yatai also came up, and they couldn't even burn her to death together!

Princess Yatai danced around Chen Hui as soon as she came up, and at the same time she was chanting something in a low voice. Her dance movements were sometimes soft and sometimes tough, and her eyes would not leave Chen Hui for most of the time, and would circulate around her, begging humbly, and look forward eagerly.

Although Princess Yatai said she didn't have to do anything, Chen Hui's eyes turned unconsciously with her movements, like a goddess who finally saw the prayers of human beings. The music continued, and the grand and majestic music was like a hero's narrative poem, telling everything from ancient times, human beings' fear, awe, curiosity and exploration of nature... Everything is in the music, circulating silently in the powerful body language of human beings, until now. Human beings crawl at the feet of God and offer everything, just for the goddess's mercy glance.

Princess Yatai lowered her head and crawled deeply on the ground. Chen Hui also came to her senses from the shocking dance just now and put the garland on Princess Yatai's head. She was about to retract her hand, but Princess Yatai grabbed her hand, kissed her fingertips gently in a pious posture, and leaned down again, which was a complete surrender.

Below the altar, there were clamoring shouts in the crowd, gradually forming a neat shout. The sound was full of energy and even the earth was trembling.

At the edge of the crowd, there was a man who seemed to be outside the matter and looked at the scene on the altar in shock until he realized that it was inappropriate, so he quickly lowered his head.

This person was Gu Tianhe who tried every means to sneak in. When he found that the Xi tribe seemed to have a celebration, he thought it was his luck. But after searching around for a long time, he could not find Miss Chen's traces, and only saw the soldiers who were captured at the same time. He guessed that perhaps the Miss Chen had encountered an unexpected situation, but after all, he was in charge of the order and would not give up easily, so he was ready to take a look. Unexpectedly, when he saw it, he was shocked to find that the woman dressed by the Xi tribe on the altar was Miss Chen.

From what Eunuch Li said before he left, Gu Tianhe could easily understand how important Miss Chen is to Eunuch Li now. It was his hands on Miss Chen's entry into Li's mansion. He also saw how Miss Chen was rejected by Eunuch Li in the past. He never expected that one day she would be valued so much by Eunuch Li. Perhaps it was not that she had not expected it, but that she had not expected it so quickly.

Now that Miss Chen is painting oil paint on her face, he looked at it for a while before confirming that it was her, but her two naked white arms and calves made him afraid to look at it too much. If Eunuch Li learned that Miss Chen was insulted in the Xi tribe, he would not know what he would be angry about...

The task he got was to investigate Miss Chen's situation. It would be best if she could be rescued. If he couldn't, he would go back and inform him of the situation.

He shouted and shouted with the Xi people around him, lying quietly like a hunter of nature, waiting for the best time.

The shaking cry finally stopped slowly, and Princess Yatai had already stood up, looked at Chen Hui with a smile, and signaled her to step down with her.

"Good job." Princess Yatai whispered as she helped Chen Hui down the altar.

Chen Hui smiled shyly, and she just stood there stupidly, and didn't do anything.

"Are the ceremony all over?" she asked.

Princess Yatai smiled and said, "It's almost done."

almost?

Before Chen Hui could ask, she suddenly felt a heat behind her and the altar actually burned!

Under the altar were flammable dry plants, which started to burn with a crackling sound, turning into an oversized bonfire.

"Come and dance!" Princess Yatai smiled and took Chen Hui's hand, took her around, and sent her out, then relaxed her hand.

Chen Hui exclaimed, thinking that she would stagger, but someone happened to hold her hand and pull her around for several times before asking her to go to another person.

Amid the intense music, Chen Hui found that she had been turned on again and again, and then she was almost dizzy. Fortunately, the Xi people were very disciplined and no one touched her in the crowd, otherwise she would have been angry to death.

Except for the person who took over her, everyone else was dancing with a happy face, but there was no standard dance.

When Chen Hui was transferred to someone's hands again, she was thinking about whether anyone would find out if she just sneaked away. But the next second, the man suddenly pulled her closer, almost pressing against her ears. That was an overly intimate action that those people would never have had before.

Chen Huigang frowned and heard the man whisper: "Miss Chen, sorry, I'm rude. I was sent by Eunuch Li to rescue Miss Chen."

Chen Hui was stunned and hurriedly looked at the person's face. His appearance gradually became clear in the light of the torch shaking. Chen Hui recognized him as Gu Tianhe and almost couldn't help but scream in surprise, but fortunately she held it.

"How many people have you come? How to save me? Do you need any cooperation?" Chen Hui asked quickly.

Gu Tianhe was not surprised at all Chen Hui's calmness. When she was caught as a hostage in the Li Mansion, he already knew how calm she was in danger, otherwise he would not dare to come up and contact her directly.

"I am the only one who got in," Gu Tianhe said, while imitating others' behavior to let Chen Hui turn around and get closer. He hurriedly said, "Are they taking care of you?"

If they are not strict, they may be discovered until they run far away. If they are very strict, they may be discovered before they leave here, but they are afraid that they will lose their wife and their troops.

Chen Hui thought of Princess Yatai, and the excitement of learning that the reinforcements had arrived suddenly cooled down. At this moment, she realized clearly that it was almost impossible for her to leave far enough before the Xi people found out that she had escaped.

After thinking through the pros and cons, Chen Hui said heartbrokenly: "Strict... very strict. Lord Gu, you should go back first and tell Eunuch Li to check the reasons why the Xi tribe declared war, and I heard from the princess of the Xi tribe that they wanted to negotiate peace. Please let Eunuch Li take the initiative..."

Gu Tianhe was slightly stunned, and a pair of hands that had been waiting for a long time came to him, and took Chen Hui over.

Chen Hui looked back at him and made a "quick-and-leave" lip. In order to get in, Gu Tianhe changed into the costume of a Xi warrior. His strong limbs were exposed and his long hair was whipped. This look was awkward for Chen Hui, who was used to Gu Tianhe's original costume. After all, he was not a real Xi tribe. The skin originally hidden under his clothes was much more delicate than the Xi tribe who always suffered from wind and sunlight. There were some obvious differences in his facial features. If it weren't for the night, he would have been exposed. Chen Hui didn't want him to stay for a long time, and he would have one more minute of the risk of being discovered after one more second. She might be fine at that time, but Gu Tianhe would be in danger. She had no confidence to save him here.

Gu Tianhe watched Chen Hui be led away little by little, and slowly retreated and merged into the crowd.

Chen Hui jumped for an hour or two and felt that her legs were almost broken, she struggled to escape. Princess Yatai had been waiting aside at some point. Seeing Chen Hui come out, she waved to Chen Hui.

Chen Hui walked over and sat on the ground beside her, looking exhausted.

Princess Yatai smiled and said, "I think you were reborn as a wrong child."

Chen Hui looked at her with a look, knowing that she said she was more suitable to be a Xi tribe than a Daliang person, but she nodded and said, "I think too." Isn't traveling time the second time it's reincarnation? It can be said that it's tragic to not be a princess and princess.

Princess Yatai laughed heartily: "It seems that you like to be a Xi tribe, too."

Chen Hui smiled and said, "Everyone has their own good." What she wants to be the most is indeed a modern person!

"Look at them..." Princess Yatai pointed ahead, "You have gained their approval."

Chen Hui made a smile: "That's so great!"

Now she was counting on Gu Tianhe to go back and report to Li Youde earlier, and then initiate the peace negotiation process as soon as possible and exchange her for her. Thinking that Li Youde actually sent someone to save her, Chen Hui couldn't control the smile on her face.

Princess Yatai saw the sincere smile on Chen Hui's face, and thought she was happy to be recognized by the Xi people, so she smiled slightly and said, "Do you like a man?"

Chen Hui almost choked by her saliva: "Sir Yatai, what did you say?"

"I'll ask you if there is a man you like here?" Yatai smiled, "I think you're adapting to the Xi people's lifestyle very quickly, so why not try this..." She lowered her head and leaned into Chen Hui's ear and said, "Most of my Xi people are very brave in bed. If you don't know how to choose, I can choose two for you."

Chen Hui: "..." Pick two...

She suddenly felt a little regretful. How good is she not to drive Gu Tianhe back so early? At this time, wouldn’t she pretend to pick him, and then the two disappeared together for a long time and would not attract attention? But...

Looking at Yatai, Chen Hui knew that she was whimsical. It was okay to be in the crowd. Once Gu Tianhe was noticed, his identity would be exposed soon.

"What do you like?" Yatai asked excitedly when she saw that Chen Hui did not refuse.

What kind of thing do you like?
