Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape
Chapter 231 Tiger's Den
After two days of traveling by day and resting by night, the procession of Cukonu, who was presenting tribute clothing, entered the Sun God Mountains in the far east. Salam's territory was located deep within one of the mountains.
The mountains here, like those near Nawu's home, are completely barren, only larger and deeper. Bai Zhi thought to herself, "If even trees don't grow on these mountains, nothing can be grown. Won't many people go hungry?"
Look at this tribute-bearing group; everyone can afford 30,000 Nasu, yet many are pale and thin. After two days of non-stop pulling carts and traveling, some have become emaciated.
They're probably putting all their money at stake, hoping for a reward.
Could Ge Zhen really be that generous? Giving away such a large sum of money for a piece of clothing? But after fighting for so long, where did she get the money from?
After walking for a while, Salam's guide came to greet them and told them to keep their heads down and not to look around.
An hour later, they arrived at the territory of Salomo. The guards at the gate did not stop them at all, apparently because Cukonu had given prior notice. From the gate, they passed through a low canyon, and a huge square suddenly appeared before them. Right next to a giant mountain stood an enormous stone statue, its toes alone as tall as a person. Many barbarian people knelt and worshipped the statue, chanting prayers for the protection of the sun god.
Bai Zhi craned her neck to see the true face of the sun god statue. The sun god statue was completely different from the Buddha statues in the temple. Even without paint, one could see its elaborate and ornate robes, its hands raised to its chest, holding a cluster of burning flames, its long hair flowing down, its eyes closed, and its face serene. The statue was so lifelike, as if it had just emerged from the mountains and would open its eyes at any moment.
The barbarians are truly skilled in carving, but it's a pity that it's too laborious and wasteful. Bai Zhi shook her head, "Even eating is a problem, let alone doing these unnecessary things."
After entering the territory of Salomo, the foreman, Cukonu, dared not speak the barbarian language, and could only use his broken Yan language to reprimand everyone: "Don't stop! Move!"
These big spenders have no choice but to behave themselves.
The overseer led the group to a rather large mud house, where several maids were already waiting, taking over the goods cart by cart. When Bai Zhi handed over the goods, she gathered her stray hairs, raised her head, and deliberately showed her face.
But the maids didn't even look at them, preoccupied with their routine duties.
Then a woman in even more beautiful clothes arrived and handed out heavy packages to each person. The first few people to receive their packages immediately opened them, their eyes lighting up with excitement as they thanked her profusely. Inside was a whole piece of jade, of excellent quality. According to Bai Zhi's jade-selling standards, this piece could easily fetch at least 200,000 yuan.
So it turns out they used jade instead of money; no wonder everyone was so eager to get it.
When Cuiyu presented the jade to Baizhi, Baizhi still deliberately showed her face. The woman glanced at her a few times, then her expression suddenly changed. After looking closely, she exclaimed in shock, her face pale, "Divine Messenger Alyumo!"
coming!
The maids all prostrated themselves, performing a barbaric salute to Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi feigned confusion and hesitated, asking, "Do you know me?"
The woman replied, "You may not recognize me, but I have seen you before. I didn't know you were here to escort the goods today. If I had known, I would have gone to greet you much earlier."
“It’s so nice to see someone I know here. My name is Alyumo?” Bai Zhi lowered her head and pretended to be serious. “I’m sorry, I’ve lost my memory.”
This statement was like boiling water splashed with hot oil; the maids immediately erupted in a frenzy, crawling over on their knees and chattering with concern. One of them even ran out shouting, "The messenger of Aleut has lost his memory! The messenger of Aleut has lost his memory!"
Bai Zhi: "..."
That's way too exaggerated.
The woman with the jade hairpin was almost in tears: "Messenger of Alyumo, how could you forget who you are? You are the messenger of the sun god, the golden bone of Salam! I will take you to see the chief!"
Bai Zhi forced a touched smile: "Okay."
Soon, the woman arranged for a small sedan chair without a canopy to be brought over, and Bai Zhi was invited to board it.
After a stick of incense had burned, the sedan chair stopped beside a simple mansion. The mansion combined the styles of the Manchu and the Great Yan, with its brackets and eaves made of yellow mud, making it look incongruous.
After alighting from the sedan chair, the woman led Bai Zhi into the courtyard. Many servants in the house recognized Alyumo, and greetings in Da Yan dialect filled the air.
Bai Zhi thought to herself, Ge Zhen did do something right by making all her subordinates speak the Great Yan language, otherwise who would learn that barbarian language?
The woman stopped in front of a door and called out, "Chief! Madam Ge! It's the messenger of Aleut!"
The door slowly opened from the inside, and Bai Zhi was caught off guard when she met Ge Zhen's pair of young fox eyes.
In an instant, old grudges swept over everything.
This person harmed the original owner of her body, sent people to kill her, sent people to smash Madam Tao's bones, and after she left the Marquis's mansion, he even chased after her and provoked war, disrupting the peaceful life she had finally obtained.
If she can kill Ge Zhen on this trip...
"...Alyumo, what's wrong?"
Bai Zhi's consciousness returned instantly. It was a burly, bear-like man next to Ge Zhen asking her questions. This man should be Wu Sha Meng, the leader of Sha Luo Mo.
She quickly lowered her head: "I suddenly feel a little dizzy."
Usamon: "I heard that you have lost your memory. Binglike said that you were frightened by that war."
"war?"
“King Jing of Great Yan set up a brutal trap in Wu County to kill our warriors.” Wu Sha Meng’s fists, which were as big as sandbags, clenched as he spoke of the battle. “I don’t understand why the people of Great Yan would follow such a king who doesn’t care about human life.”
Bai Zhi thought to herself, "I don't know what Chu Yunchuan did, but when it comes to not valuing human life, your Suhe Liedu is definitely superior."
Ge Zhen had been leaning against the couch without saying a word, but suddenly pointed at Bai Zhi and said, "You, come here."
Her voice was like adding fuel to the fire of Bai Zhi's anger. Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and suppressed her rage, walking to the bedside with her head down. Ge Zhen immediately raised her hand and grabbed Bai Zhi's chin, twisting and turning it back and forth like a flower: "Are you really A Liu Mo?"
Bai Zhi's heart sank.
Wushamon wanted to stop her but didn't dare, and hurriedly said, "She is Alyumo, I know her very well."
Ge Zhen said irritably, "Wasn't she very arrogant before? How come she's become such a wretched person after losing her memory? Now she can't do anything. I think we should find a different divine messenger."
"If we change the messenger, the sun god will be angry."
Ge Zhen glanced at him sideways: "Don't get too carried away, Wu Sha Meng. The Sun God's Envoy was just something I made up to fool your people. Otherwise, why would they be willing to enter this mountain?"
Wushamon shook his head firmly: "The Sun God will know what we have done."
"..." Ge Zhen kicked Wu Sha Meng a few times in anger, but she also knew that Wu Sha Meng's decision would not be easily changed. They had just argued about the temporary ceasefire yesterday. After venting her anger, Ge Zhen lazily raised her eyes and said to Bai Zhi, "Then come and serve me until you regain your memory."
