A Thousand Faces of Grace

Chapter 136 Dragon Soul Jade

"My king's life is naturally priceless. How much you pay depends on the girl's sincerity." Lan Junque smiled lightly.

"Well, since the prince is so sincere, I can't open my mouth like a lion, and the price is 20 taels of gold. Moreover, the prince has to take out one thing as a token first." Xiao Muli said decisively, this time it can be You can no longer be tricked by Lan Junque, you must use things as evidence, and you must be more careful with him afterwards to prevent him from secretly playing tricks again.

"Lantian is rich in beautiful jade, and Dragon Soul Jade is a rare rare gem in a thousand years. It is worth tens of thousands of gold, and now it has become a symbol of the royal family, not to mention its value. The most important thing is that this Dragon Soul Jade has no mark. Transaction, using this dragon soul jade as collateral, I think the girl can feel at ease." With trembling fingers, Lan Junque took off the jade pendant worn around his waist, put it in front of his eyes, stared at it for a long time with a complicated expression, then gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes He made up his mind and handed it to Xiao Muli.

After this period of relaxation, Lan Junque was finally able to move his fingers.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll just trust you once, 20 taels of gold, and I'll buy your life. This deal is not bad for the prince at all." Xiao Muli was about to reach out to pick up the Dragon Soul Jade, but saw Lan Junque's finger Trembling, he shrank back, obviously very reluctant.

He also looked at the Dragon Soul Jade with a very complicated expression, as if there was a memory on it that he couldn't let go of.

"What? Can't bear it?" Xiao Muli sarcastically said.

"Forget it, I originally planned to destroy it with my own hands in front of Ning'er. It might be better without it." Lan Junque sighed softly, making up his mind to pass the Dragon Soul Jade over.

Xiao Muli glanced at Lan Junque with a half-smile, and seeing that he didn't plan to say anything else, he simply took the Dragon Soul Jade.

After careful observation, the things that can make Lan Junque hesitate and hesitate are definitely not ordinary things.

The jade pendant looks like a dragon, and its tentacles are warm. There is a faint dragon swaying in the jade. The most important thing is that the whole piece of jade is natural without any trace of carving, which is really rare.

Xiao Muli not only lamented in his heart, the uncanny workmanship of nature.

"The Dragon Soul Jade Lady has accepted it. I hope the prince will keep his promise." Xiao Muli looked at it for a while, but he didn't see anything worthy of Lan Junque's special attachment, and said with some disappointment.

"Okay, deal!" Lan Junque smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

Then, he struggled to take out a handkerchief from his bosom, handed it to Xiao Muli, and said: "Follow the route above, there is a secret room in front, we will be safe when we get there."

"Okay!" Xiao Muli looked at the sky, it was almost dusk, if there was any further delay, the demons in the Demon Valley might really come out and arrest them.

Xiao Muli raised his whip and galloped towards the secret room that Lan Junque had mentioned.

Running all the way, the two of them stopped talking, and the night gradually fell.

From time to time Xiao Muli saw strangely shaped mountain peaks, like monsters with teeth and claws, entrenched on both sides of the road in the hazy night.

According to Lan Junque, these hills are the lairs of the monsters in the Demon Valley. The reason why they are called valleys is because these monsters live in the mountainside, they can't stay in the mountains during the day, and only come out to act at night.

And every year, these monsters will hold a monster meeting. Counting, today’s demon fighting meeting will be in these few days. At that time, monsters and ghosts will gather to share their experiences of cannibalism and torture. Live people will be used as demonstrations on the spot. Teach those little goblins.

Xiao Muli felt chills down his spine when he heard that, he was not afraid of these things before because she was not made of flesh and blood, but now it is different, if she really fell into the hands of these monsters and was eaten alive by them, it would be horrifying to think about it!
Fortunately, she didn't intrude, but why did she feel that something was about to move deep in her heart?
Thousands of ghosts and ghosts gathered together, but it was a very rare scene. If it wasn't for Lan Junque, the oil bottle that dragged her back, with her character, even if she was afraid, she would definitely go to see it.

Hey, it would be great if she didn't stay here, then she wouldn't have to be afraid of anything, and she could run amok against demons and ghosts.

This annoying rain is still falling.

Xiao Muli felt that her head became more confused and her body became hotter.

The journey was fairly smooth, except for a few times when he encountered some strangely shaped mountains, Xiao Muli thought he had encountered a monster, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, only to find out later that it was a false alarm.

Naturally, Lan Junque would not let go of such a good opportunity, but Ke Jin laughed at her several times!

Xiao Muli hated him so much that he just wanted to kick him off the horse and throw him into the monster's mouth, but in the end, he held back.

In this awkward atmosphere, the two arrived at the place Lan Junque said.
