Taking the blush on Yu An's face into his eyes, Sun Quan chuckled, but he didn't take advantage of the problem to play tricks on her, he just asked his doubts just now: "You keep saying that you and Ning Luo are the only remaining blood of the Xiang family, so why are you so angry? , only you are Xiangyu An, but Ning Luo is not a Xiangyu?"

[Because, she gave up...] Yu An couldn't help but smile bitterly, [Everyone in the Xiang clan believes that our surnames and the blood flowing on our bodies are the blessings and protection of our ancestors. Ning Luo gave up his surnames and vowed to be loyal to me. At the same time, she swore in front of the altar to dedicate to me the blessings bestowed by her ancestors. 】

Looking up at Sun Quan's unbelievable face, Yu'an's wry smile continued: [It's unbelievable that she chose such an extreme way to make the oath, and our patriarch and our people are so happy for me, because I have Such a loyal guard.This is a ridiculous thing at all, but not only Ning Luo, our clansmen even chose to entrust me with the so-called blessings inherited from their surnames when the disaster was on the horizon.Those who slaughtered the Xiang clan were there. What they abandoned was not their surnames and ancestor blessings, but their lives. The living people became cold and stiff corpses. They only left the simplest oath and a drop of blood. I told Ning Luo to keep me here until the hidden guards who were left in the distance arrived, and also told me to remember to preserve Xiangshi’s blood, and then leave and die one by one like this, leaving only me and Ning Luo...]

The girl in his arms had a calm expression, but Sun Quan knew that she was trembling. The memory of the first two years still made her tremble.Sun Quan stretched out his other arm to wrap her around her. It was the first time to comfort a girl in such a careful way, obviously clumsy but extremely gentle.With him like this, she couldn't find any reason to stop herself from indulging in him.

[Stupid...] Her lips moved slightly, and Yu An didn't know whether she was talking about Sun Quan or herself, or the two of them.

If only it could go on...

At that moment, this idea was born in the hearts of the two of them, and it came suddenly, turbulently.

The moment the secret door was pushed open, there was no dust that Sun Quan imagined would rush to his face.He was a little surprised. After all, Yu'an's house still had Qiao Xuan who sent someone to take care of it every few months, and it still kept it tidy. This place should have been at least two years without anyone staying here, right?

[It's Uncle Qiao. 】Yu'an noticed Sun Quan's surprised look at her, and explained, 【I ask Uncle Qiao, I hope to take care of the nearby houses as much as possible, at least, don't let this place really become a ruin. 】

Sun Quan didn't ask any more questions, and walked out of the secret door with Yu'an, and the secret door closed immediately after stepping out.Sun Quan only glanced back, then quickly withdrew his gaze and refocused on everything around him and Yu'an beside him.

【Sun Quan, what do you think of the legendary Xiangshi? 】Yu An, who was paying attention to the surrounding situation like Sun Quan, suddenly looked up at Sun Quan.

Yu'an asked this question suddenly, and Sun Quan thought for a while before answering: "Probably, it is a unique gift. After all, having such an ability and the legend that has been handed down to this day is almost something that many people have worked hard for generations. And you, it is easy. I have it."

[Yeah, maybe this is why our family has come to this point.But Sun Quan, we did not get these without a price. 】Yu'an relied on his support to move forward. The bottles of medicine she found contained some anesthetic ingredients, in order to allow herself to ignore the pain of the wound, so as not to drag him down if she couldn't bear it, but she also overestimated After getting used to the medicine, while the pain was numb, her own thoughts and movements also became a little sluggish, so she could only wake herself up by talking.

Sun Quan also noticed that Yu An's strength on his body was getting heavier and heavier, and the hand holding her was getting tighter, but Yu An didn't seem to respond at all.

[The Xiang clan believes in not gods, but our ancestors. We believe that only by offering sacrifices can we get blessings and sacrifices can have power. Naturally, there are life sacrifices and death sacrifices.If the sacrifice is a branch of the Xiang family, then the family members will be left here, and their sacrifices will be exchanged for a lifetime of food and clothing. 】Yu'an stared at Sun Quan, she didn't know if it was because of the anesthetic, Sun Quan's eyes made her feel worried, she just continued, 【The sacrifices for the death sacrifice are all members of the Xiang clan, children who died at a young age , they said, it is to accumulate strength for us who may become successor prophets at the same age...]

"You?" Sun Quan asked in confusion, "Prophet, are you not the only one?"

【No, only me. 】Yu'an said with a bit of bitterness, 【Of course I'm the only one left, but I wasn't the only child with potential at that time. 】

Sun Quan understands this kind of statement, and it's hard to say, the identity of the prophet is like a bait, luring out those children with potential, and then those children are just selected by others.But if this is the case, then what is the result of those children who failed, and what are the thoughts of the relatives of those children who were sacrificed?He didn't believe that those people would have no resentment after the sacrifice: "What about after that?"

[After that...] Yu An didn't have time to finish her words, she cast her gaze outside the door, her eyes were sharp and cold, but soon, her expression faded, and she only had time to speak to Sun Quan, 【It's Ning Luo. 】The next moment, she suddenly closed her eyes without warning, leaned against Sun Quan's arms and lost consciousness.

"Miss!" Ning Luo saw this scene and exclaimed, but Yu An couldn't hear anything at the moment.

Fortunately, the team that Sun Quan brought to Xiang's family included a military doctor from King Zhong's army, who immediately checked Yu'an on the spot.

"What's wrong with her?" Ning Luo glanced at Sun Quan's inadvertent concern. Not only did Sun Quan speak before her, but his gesture was more worried than her.Looking down at Yu An's coat and her posture leaning against Sun Quan's arms, Ning Luo thought, something might have happened in the secret passage, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

The military doctor has been in Zhongwang's army for a long time, and he knows that Sun Quan doesn't like to listen to nonsense, so he skipped the process and directly stated the result: "The medicine that was applied to the wound contained anesthetic ingredients, and the dose was not controlled well. Now I relax and I am completely in a state of anesthesia. Lost consciousness."

"Will there be any side effects?" Ning Luo asked after him.

"No, especially since she is injured now, it might be better to rest for a while."

"When will she wake up?" Sun Quan embraced Yu'an in his arms, and carefully let her lean against his chest.

"At least half a day, at most two days, depending on how well her body adapts to the anesthetic."
