Rebirth of the Anti Demon Gate

In the evening, after dinner, Xuanben wanted to go to the study to read for a while, but he heard an abnormal noise outside the window. After asking Lanzhi, he found out that today is the full moon, and the noise outside is for tonight's Prison Pool sacrifice .

He closed the book and sighed softly.When Ji Nanfeng was away, time seemed to pass very quickly. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and it was almost time for the Demon Emperor to come back. I really didn't know how to deal with him when he came back.

"Who are the people who sacrificed to the pool today?"

"Master Hui, he is a slave of An Guo." When Lanzhi replied, he observed Xuan's expression deliberately, and Xuan's expression was the same under the candlelight, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

"Can I go and see?"

"My lord wants to go? I'm afraid it's not very good." Lanzhi's mouth twitched slightly, "The scene was too bloody. If you startle me, the servants will not be able to explain to the emperor."

"Bloody, since you know blood, you shouldn't keep that kind of thing here." Xuan put down the book, looked up at the woman standing beside him, "Go get ready, I'm going tonight."

Lan Zhi didn't say anything, turned and left the room.About an hour later, the sky outside finally became completely dark.

Through the veil on the window, one can see the red light outside, and the faint sound of a woman crying.

"My lord, the ceremony is about to begin." Lan Zhi, who had been away for a long time, pushed the door and entered, holding a dark red brocade robe in her hand, "It's windy outside, you should add some clothes."

"Who is worshiping today?"

"It's some slaves who committed crimes, seven of them in total." Lan Zhi put on a cloak for Xuan. "My lord, please don't approach the Prison Pool again. What happened last time must never happen again."

On the square in front of the Chonghua Hall, guards in golden armor stood all around, and everyone held a torch in their hands, reflecting half of the sky red.There is still no movement in the prison pool, and the moon has not yet risen directly over the pool.

Not far from the pool, several young girls were lying on the ground, weeping, their hands and feet were tied with iron chains, and soldiers were watching over them.

Xuan stood on the high steps, looking down at the priests below. Many people in the palace stood at a further distance to watch, their faces were full of excitement and anticipation. They had already regarded this sacrifice as a kind of celebration , after all, they were not the ones who died.

"See Mrs. Chonghua!" Seeing Xuan appeared, the people below fell to their knees.

Several girls who were used as sacrificial objects still lowered their heads and wept. Among them, only a woman in Tsing Yi raised her head slightly and glanced at the person above.Just this one glance, she couldn't look away anymore.

The shock in Qinglian's heart cannot be expressed in words, she rubbed her eyes vigorously to make sure that she was not mistaken.The young master in the dark red brocade robe above had the exact same face as his master An Yi.

She heard people around call that person Mrs. Chonghua.She had heard about it when she was in the Prince Consort's Mansion, and it was said that the Demon Emperor had conferred a new wife with the title of Chong Hua.But he didn't expect that this lady turned out to be a man, moreover, he looked so similar to the son-in-law.

At the same time, Xuan also noticed the gaze cast on him in the square.When everyone bowed their heads and lowered their eyes, only one of the seven human women looked up at him in a daze.

Qinglian?Shouldn't she stay in the consort's mansion, with Fake An Yi?Why did it appear here, and it was also used as a sacrificial offering.

Xuan also recognized the people in the audience, and it is not something to be happy to see the old people in this situation.What is this, is it a coincidence, or is there a temptation.

"Young master?" Maybe he was stunned for too long, until Lan Zhi reminded him, Xuan realized that he was absent-minded.

"Ahem, everyone, get up." Xuan pretended to be a little uncomfortable, and coughed a few times.

Hearing Xuan's words, all the soldiers in the square stood up, and someone ran up to ask Xuan if the sacrifice should start now.

Xuan looked at Qinglian who was kneeling below, do you want to save her?If you want to save it, it will inevitably cause trouble in the future, if you don't save it...

The scenes when he first came to the world came to mind one after another. Qinglian was the first person he saw in this world. During those days in Anguo Palace, this little girl took care of him with all her heart. Protecting her, even knowing that there was a dead end, he followed him to Anguo.I'm afraid, in this world, she is the only one who treats him wholeheartedly.

Since this is the case, how could he let her die here.

Thinking of this, he pointed to Qinglian below, and said to the soldier, "Bring that girl to me."

The soldier was so surprised, he turned his head to look at Lan Zhi, and seeing her nodding silently, he turned and ran down the steps.

After a while, Qinglian was brought in front of Xuan by the soldiers of the demon kingdom.

It was far away just now, and Xuan didn't see it clearly.Only now did he realize that Qinglian's clothes were in tatters, and there were obvious welt marks on her exposed arms.What did that person do, why did Qinglian suffer such heavy injuries.

"What are you still doing in a daze, you lowly maid, you don't kneel down when you see Madam Chonghua." The soldier kicked Qinglian's calf fiercely, Qinglian didn't check for a while, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Xuan glanced at the soldier coldly, but didn't speak.He squatted down, pinched Qinglian's chin with his hand, and slowly raised her head.It was a pair of eyes that were full of tears but stubborn and refused to let go.

Qinglian, long time no see, she is still a stubborn girl.The corner of Xuan's mouth could not help revealing a gentle smile.

"What's your name?" This is for other people to see. In front of Lanzhi, Xuan can only treat Qinglian as a stranger.

"Qinglian." Consciousness was lost in the man's gentle smile, such a smile was so familiar.The hint of herbal medicine emanating from the man made her fearful heart gradually calm down.

"Qinglian, good name." Xuan hugged her and helped her up from the ground.

"Young master." Seeing Xuan like this, the monster soldier was confused.

"I want this slave." Xuan held Qinglian's hand, turned around and walked towards Chonghua Hall.

"My lord, my lord." The soldier hurriedly blocked Xuan's face, "My lord, you can't do this, this maidservant is used for sacrificial offerings."

"So what, can I even want a slave?" Xuan stared at the man coldly.

"My lord, if you need a servant girl, I can find you some better ones." Lan Zhi also came up to persuade him, "Why do you need such a criminal servant girl?"

"Since this is the case, then you should find some better servants to sacrifice to." Xuan held Qinglian's hand tightly, "I want this one. I will explain to him personally when Ji Nanfeng comes back. If you are worried that it will destroy the For tonight's sacrifice, don't worry, I will bear all the responsibilities."

In this palace, Xuan Gan was probably the only one who directly called Ji Nanfeng by his first name.Seeing what Xuan said, it was hard for others to say anything.

Lan Zhi waved to the soldier, "Why are you still sitting there in a daze, let's find a sacrificial offering to make up for it."

"Madam, please save us." Seeing that Xuan had rescued Qinglian, the other girls cried for help as if they had seen a glimmer of hope.

"What's the name? It's against you." The soldier next to him waved his whip and ruthlessly hit the girls.For a while, screams continued in the square.

Xuan didn't want to listen anymore, the noisy sound made him feel suffocated, he didn't look back, and quickly pulled Qinglian away.

"Since you can save me, why don't you save other people." Qinglian looked at the profile of the person beside her. Under the moonlight, his jade-like skin seemed transparent, and his lotus-colored lips were slightly parted, with a kind of Heart-pounding charm.

"Since I can't save myself, why do you care about other people?" The man lowered his head and looked at her with clear eyes. In those eyes, Qinglian saw herself in a bit of a mess.

"Who are you?" Before she knew it, Qinglian actually asked this question that even she thought was weird.

The man stared blankly, Qinglian heard his voice falling on her head, and she stroked her long hair with a gentle hand, "I am Xuan, Mrs. Chonghua of the Demon Kingdom today, your new master .”

Back in Chonghua Hall, Xuan ordered Lanzhi to take Qinglian to freshen up first.About half an hour later, Qinglian reappeared in front of Xuan with a new dress.

"Lanzhi, I will arrange her to be my personal maid in the future. It is very hard for you to take care of me alone. With Qinglian, you can also relax."

"My lord is serious, serving you, Lanzhi, is hard work."

"That's good, you go and bring my medicine."

"Yes, Young Master." Lan Zhi turned to Qing Lian and said, "I'll come as soon as I go, so you can serve Young Master."

"Yes." Qinglian replied in a daze, she hadn't recovered from the series of variables.

"Qinglian, who was your previous master?" Xuan asked intentionally or unintentionally while stroking the tea bowl on the table with one hand.

"The servant girl came to the Yao Kingdom with the Fifth Prince Anguo."

"So you are the concubine's maidservant." Xuan smiled, "You know, I am also from Anguo."

"Master?" Qinglian looked at Xuan in surprise.

"So, don't worry, I will protect you here." The smile on Xuan's face gradually faded, and his eyes became serious "But, you must remember, don't be curious about anything. It has nothing to do with you, you just You need to live well."
