Concubine Mengfei

Chapter 197 The Bottom of the Food Chain

After realizing that they were following the wrong person, the hidden guards returned to the incense powder shop as quickly as possible, but the door of that incense powder shop was closed.

They pried open the door of the shop, only to see the counter covered with indigo cloth and some other decorations, the shopkeeper and Yu Moying were gone.

This day is also the last day of the Jiyue Clan's Summer Festival.

The Jiyue tribe gathered on the outskirts of Ulan City, and they built a square of their own, with a statue of the Jiyue god in front of the square.

The statue is about ten people high. In front of it, there is a big bronze cauldron burning a raging fire, and an altar is filled with wild boars and some fruits.

Around the square, there is a dense circle of boulders, which is especially sacred against the statue of Jiyue.

After the witches sang songs dedicated to the gods and danced the sacrificial dance dedicated to the gods, they retreated.

In front of the statue, the high priest continuously sprinkled water with colorful feathers, asking for the will of the gods, and praying for the future of the entire nation.

The clansmen were all dressed up, prostrated devoutly on the prepared carpets of various colors, knocked their heads on the ground, and murmured words.

After the high priest finishes praying, they will present the prepared sacrifices, and first offer the sacrifices to the gods.Then, each of them took a dagger and cut off a piece of meat from the sacrifice, and everyone got a share.

Yu Moyao was also lying on the ground in the queue of witches, but she didn't have a pious heart at all, her mind was completely behind the statue, where a camel had their sacrifice.

For this sacrifice, she really exhausted her mind.

Originally, it would not have been so easy to get it. It was only Yu Moying's fault that she wanted to leave the palace, so they just took a shortcut.

After a long time, amidst the broken prayers, the high priest shouted, "Bring up the sacrifice."

The clansmen ended their prostrate postures, and immediately welcomed the so-called sacrifice with joy.

Several strong men among them were sent to bring the camels together. However, after they waited for a long time, the camels were brought, but there was no one on the camels.

The big guys showed embarrassment on their faces, and they explained to the clansman again and again that they had been looking for them after this, but they didn't see anyone there.

The tribesmen went to look behind the statue again, but there was no one there.

What about their offerings?

The clansmen became anxious and angry, and the square immediately became chaotic.Losing the sacrifice is a big taboo for them, which means offending the gods, and the Jiyue clan will die one after another from various killings, wars or plagues for a long time in the future.

The patriarch of the Jiyue clan was furious. He immediately divided the clansmen into several groups and asked them to split up to find them back.

Just before the ceremony started, they all saw the real Yu Moying appearing with their own eyes. Even if they ran away, it was impossible for her to escape very far in such a short time.Unless she's not human.

The members of the Jiyue clan are very disciplined. Although they are anxious, they are not messed up. Every group of people follows their leader in an orderly manner.

In a short while, a large number of clansmen were scattered everywhere, leaving only one person vacant in the square.

A stone door on the statue was suddenly opened, and Yu Moying and Hong Xing walked out of the stone door unharmed.

"Miss, how did you know that the shopkeeper of that shop is related to the Jiyue Clan?" Hong Xing asked in a low voice, she was very curious, but she did not forget to follow Yu Moying's order and close the stone door first.

Yu Moying patted the dust off her body, and said casually, "It should mean that the shopkeeper has something to do with He Lianchen."

Otherwise, before He Lianchen sent Gong Shaoyin to take her away, he would not have inquired about her so clearly.

It doesn't matter whether it's He Lianchen or the Jiyue clan, as long as they know that the shopkeeper is from their side.

When they saw her appearing in the incense powder shop, they would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.

However, at this moment, Yu Moyao's voice came directly into Yu Moying's ears.

"Aying, you really like playing hide-and-seek?"

Yu Moyao walked up to Yu Moying while smiling triumphantly.

Yu Moying stared for a while, then scanned Yu Moyao's body up and down.But Yu Moyao actually had nothing to see, she was only wearing a heavy sacrificial attire, nothing else.

"I like playing hide-and-seek. Third sister, you also like to hide in the dark, waiting for me to come out and fall into your trap." Yu Moying sneered.

Her nonchalant attitude brought back the suppressed anger in Yu Moyao's heart.

Yu Moyao thought to herself, it is said that a master who has always been by Yu Moying's side has left long ago.

Since those hidden guards were able to lose Yu Moying, there should be no one around her at this time, and they could not pose a threat to her at all.

"Aying, I'm really happy to see you, a beautiful woman like a flower and jade, being divided and eaten by others."

Saying that, Yu Moyao snapped her fingers and took another step towards Yu Moying.

She had already prepared a sharp dagger on her body, which was originally intended to be used to cut flesh later.

She had been waiting for this day for a long time.Every time she was subjected to Dugu Yun's inhuman torture, she would think that Yu Moying brought her these things.

If it weren't for Yu Moying, she would still be the third young miss of the Yu family.

Yu Moyao also knew that Yu Shi was dead and the Yu family was down.But she doesn't care about these issues. In comparison, she cares more about herself, anyway, that father once wanted to execute her himself.It was because of her fate that she survived.

"Yu Moying, die quickly!" Yu Moyao stared at Yu Moying with hatred on her face.

At the same time, the dagger in her hand showed her sharpness.

Hong Xing subconsciously stood in front of Yu Moying, and Yu Moyao, who was cornered, might do anything.

"Third Sister, do you really think that you can kill me alone?" Yu Moying asked Hongxing to back away first, and stood in front of Yu Moyao openly, which seemed to be more convenient for Yu Moyao to stab the dagger.

Yu Moyao's eyes turned red, and she immediately aimed the dagger at Yu Moying's chest, ready to stab it hard.

But just as she pushed her hand forward, Yu Moying bent down.Her dagger could only scrape into the air.

Yu Moying couldn't help sighing, "Third sister, look, I'll give you a chance, but you won't be able to kill me. It's not because you're useless."

Yu Moyao glanced at the dagger, feeling annoyed in her heart, thinking about it, she wanted to try it a second time.

Dugu Yun, who was hiding at the side of the stone pile, was even more annoyed. Why was the woman he picked up so stupid? Not only did she fail to do things well.This time, everyone was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and she still had nothing to do with Yu Moying.

Yu Moyao was not reconciled, so she tried the second, third, and fourth times...but none of them managed to stab Yu Moying, instead several of her own fingers were cut.

Yu Moying exercises regularly, her body flexibility is much better than her who only dances on necessary occasions.

She had no choice but to hope that the patriarch and the clansmen would come back quickly and eat Yu Moying's meat raw.

Yu Moying spread her hands, shrugged and said, "Forget it, third sister, I think even if I give you a hundred more chances, you won't be able to kill me. I won't play with you anymore."

As she said that, her feet felt as if she had stepped on a watermelon rind, and she pulled Hong Xing and ran away quickly.

Yu Moyao raised her skirt and chased after her, but her skirt was too bulky and slowed her down.

Dugu Yun sighed secretly, after thinking about it, he decided to go out on his own.

Although he brought a lot of people and stationed in the outskirts of the city, if he transferred people over, it would alarm Huanyiqi.

He had already been fooled by this young girl last time, and he couldn't allow her to continue being so arrogant.

After a while, Yu Moying had a human wall in front of her eyes, she couldn't run any further, Hongxing saw that it was Dugu Yun, she became even more flustered, and wanted to open her arms to call for help.

But after she thought about it, when she opened her mouth, most of the people who shouted were members of the Jiyue clan, so it's better not to take this risk.

"Dugu Yun, is that you?" Yu Moying was terrified, and took a step back.

"Are you scared?" Dugu Yun's upper half of his face was covered, and his thin lips said word by word: "You have good eyesight, and you can recognize me."

In his impression, Yu Moying seemed to have never met him.

"However, this is the first time we meet and the last time." Dugu Yun snorted coldly.

This girl not only killed Dugu Nie, but also provoked the relationship between him and He Lianchen, causing He Lianchen to be decapitated.He originally wanted her to be skinned and fleshed alive, and seeing her suffer so much, she couldn't die in a worthy way.

But now, he couldn't wait for his clansman, so he had to kill her immediately.

"Lord Tianshi, I think what you said is correct. This will be the last time we meet." Yu Moying watched his "magic claw" approaching, but felt a little relieved. She said slowly: "We are here I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

"You?" Dugu Yun's hand stopped immediately, and the "you" did not refer to her and Hongxing.

Yu Moyao, who was waiting to see Yu Moying's end, also froze immediately, and she also felt that something was wrong with Yu Moying's words.

Just as they were thinking about her words, a large number of figures suddenly floated in the air.

"Master Tianshi, you have been away from Beiming Kingdom for a while, and it is really difficult for our master to see you." Ling Feng said loudly, with obvious sarcasm.

Ganqing Yu Moying and He Lianyu specially lured him to appear, Dugu Yun's heart shuddered, and he immediately turned around, jumped several feet into the sky, and fled in despair.

Immediately, Ling Feng led his men to chase after him.Some of the remaining people landed on the ground and drew their swords at Yu Moyao.

"Master Tianshi!" Yu Moyao stamped her feet and called hastily.Although she didn't have any expectations for Dugu Yun in her heart.

"Third sister, do you still think that Master Tianshi will come back to save you? Do you think that the hidden guards of His Royal Highness Yu Wang are so easy to deceive?" Yu Moying stabbed her abruptly when she saw her like this. "Do you know that you are at the bottom of the food chain?"

The bottom of the food chain... Yu Moyao didn't understand for a while, but later, she figured out what it meant, that she would always be used as a stepping stone by others.

But she managed to get her life back, she didn't want to die so soon.
