This altar is built close to the mountain. When you open the door, you will see that it is so majestic inside that it actually hollows out the mountain.
When you raise your head, there are many strange rocks standing upside down, and the statues of strange beasts are lifelike. All the steps leading to the seat that symbolizes power are carved manually.
In the middle of the altar is a huge pool, filled with smoke, making it difficult to see what is under the water.
Next to the holy pool are various strange magical instruments, some of which are shining with a cold light.
With the national power of the barbarian people, it must have taken several generations of effort to build such an altar.
No wonder the Holy Son's status among the barbarians is so high.
"As long as that girl comes here and lets me do it, I only need a bowl of her blood to heal my backlash wounds. I will also keep my promise and detoxify her friend."
Mu Jingrui glanced sideways at the Holy Son, but still said nothing.
This guy is very good at guessing people's hearts and saw through that he was trying to find a way for Shangguan Wan Ning.
"Don't you want to beg for mercy for your people so that I don't kill them?" Mu Jingrui said coldly.
The Holy Son didn't take it seriously.
"General Mu is a man who marches and fights. He knows how to weigh the pros and cons. The war is so cruel, how can it be changed by asking for mercy?"
Mu Jingrui was completely disgusted with this holy son.
He has seen many selfish people, but this is the first time he has seen such selfish people.
Mu Jingrui signaled his men to imprison the Holy Son again. After returning to the military tent outside, he once again sent someone to notify Mi Si to come meet him.
"My dynasty is a country of etiquette, and I don't want to go to war. However, I have never been weak and allowed myself to be bullied. Now, our troops have arrived here and can wipe out your clan at any time. However, my dynasty, the king, is grateful to God for his kindness in life.
I don’t want to commit more sins of killing.”
Mu Jingrui's words brought a joyful smile to Mi Si's face.
"I can withdraw my troops and stop the war, but I have a condition."
"General Mu, please speak."
Under such circumstances, even if Mu Jingrui asked him to die, Mi Si would do it.
"I want you to sign a treaty, surrender to the Central Plains court, and never invade."
Mi Si stood up excitedly and saluted Mu Jingrui.
Such conditions were originally expected.
"On behalf of my people, I would like to thank General Mu."
Mu Jingrui sighed silently in his heart. In fact, with his character, he would rather kill all the barbarians than surrender.
However, I still couldn't bear the thought that Shangguan Wan Ning might have lifelong regrets because of this.
not to mention……
It would also be good to kill fewer people and fewer innocent people.
Mu Jingrui quickly compiled the situation here into a memorial and rushed eight hundred miles to the capital to report.
He led his troops back to the city and informed Shangguan Wan Ning of his decision.
"Jingrui, thank you." Shangguan Wanning squeezed Mu Jingrui's hand, and a bright smile bloomed on her haggard face.
Mu Jingrui frowned slightly and was not happy.
"You came to thank me for another man?"
"Stingy guy." Shangguan Wan Ning muttered softly.
Mu Jingrui wanted to return to the court as soon as possible to marry Shangguan Wan Ning, so he quickly arranged for the Holy Son to return to the barbarians and personally escorted Shangguan Wan Ning to the altar.
Shangguan Wan Ning was also amazed by the magnificence in front of her.
"Girl, let's get started."
The Holy Son came up with four girls and made a respectful salute.
Shangguan Wan Ning pondered for a moment and said: "Since I promised to use my blood to save you, I will definitely not regret it. But... you have to tell me first how to detoxify my friend."
The Holy Son smiled slightly. "Girl, can't you trust me?"
"Of course I can't believe it. You can leave your subordinates loyal to you to escape for your own life, and you can also ignore the people for your own safety. How can I believe your character?"
Shangguan Wan Ning's merciless sarcasm made the Holy Son's smile freeze on his face.
He wanted to get angry, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Mu Jingrui standing aside with his arms folded in front of his chest, so he could only suppress his anger.
The Holy Son walked aside, picked up his pen, wrote down a prescription and handed it to Shangguan Wan Ning.
Shangguan Wan Ning took a closer look and found that it indeed corresponded to Sun Jinyao's symptoms.
"If there is something wrong with the prescription, I will definitely kill you." Mu Jingrui warned coldly.
"Don't worry, I keep my word."
The Holy Son felt aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do.
Shangguan Wan Ning handed the prescription to Mu Jingrui for safekeeping and followed the four girls to the pool.
The four girls began to take off their clothes without saying a word.
Mu Jingrui was startled and turned around quickly. "What are you going to do?"
"Girls need to enter the holy pool spotlessly..."
"impossible."
Mu Jingrui immediately interrupted the Holy Son.
He has decided that Shangguan Wan Ning is his woman, how can he tolerate his woman taking off her clothes in front of other men.
He picked up Shangguan Wan Ning and started to leave.
The Holy Son suddenly stood in front of them.
"General Mu, are you going to regret it?"
"If you had told me this way before, I would never have agreed."
"That's why I didn't say anything." Shengzi stared into Mu Jingrui's eyes, "Now that you have come in, it will not be so easy for you to get out."
There was a threat in the words of the Holy Son, which made Mu Jingrui even more angry.
A sharp light flashed in his eyes. "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
As he spoke, Mu Jingrui moved his wrist, and the soft sword wrapped around his waist was already in his hand.
The Holy Son smiled faintly and whistled, and countless bats flew out from the darkness and circled around Shangguan Wan Ning and Mu Jingrui.
Shangguan Wan Ning was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she subconsciously hid in Mu Jingrui's arms.
"If I die, the whole barbarian clan will die." Mu Jingrui angrily scolded.
"I only care about my own life and death. Only when I live can I benefit the people."
Mu Jingrui was angry and annoyed, and even more regretful.
"Ning'er, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Shangguan Wan Ning took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She raised her head and looked at the bats. They did not attack them for the time being because they were still under the control of the Holy Son.
"I am willing to take off my clothes and enter the holy pool, but... please stop playing tricks."
"Ning'er!" Mu Jingrui's face turned pale, "No."
"General Mu, I don't want to die with you. I will turn my back like you and cover my eyes with a black scarf. What do you think?"
"good."
Shangguan Wanning didn't wait for Mu Jingrui to speak before she agreed. She turned to look at Mu Jingrui and said comfortingly: "I don't want Brother Yao to die, and I don't want you to die; I don't want our death to trigger a war between the two countries.
.When the time comes, corpses will litter the fields, and it will only be the common people who will suffer.”
Mu Jingrui was heartbroken, knowing that he could not change Shangguan Wan Ning's decision.
