System Crisis

Chapter 69 The Maid Is a Sacrifice!
After hearing this, Lord Tianxun ordered to select a few pairs from the virgins in the palace and send them to the gods.A long time ago, there was such a custom, but sacrificing with human life hurts the family relationship, so it stopped at some point.

The Heavenly Master came forward to oppose it, and this will save some, but Tian Xunjun still insisted on bleeding the virgin to show his sincerity.Those who are chosen can only live or die.

Shen Lu mixed in, and when the midnight came, there would be chaos.

It was already winter, and the dresses that the court ladies wore were really not good enough to keep out the cold. The two young maids in front looked like they were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were shivering from the cold, they didn't dare to show their feet, and their faces were a bit bruised.

When they arrived at Zhengyang Palace, Shen Lu and others put away all the sacrifices, and the three of them knelt side by side under the altar.

What kind of god is that? Shen Lu doesn't quite recognize it. His gilded face is full of arrogance and disdain. Maybe that's what God is like. He is said to be in charge of all things, but in fact he has no mercy. Seeing people struggling like ants is called... natural. ...

The two maids obviously knew each other, so they leaned closer and whispered in a low voice, such as whether they had hidden a small cushion under their knees, and if they really couldn't make it through, did they ask someone to send the softness to the family...

Shen Lu lowered her head, and there was a needle in the finger of the index finger of her left hand, only one.

"Your name is Lianxiu, right? Why are you willing to come here for Xiaomeng? This will be fatal!" The palace maid called Ruoyu saw her alone, kneeling there without moving, and couldn't help it. Touched her arm.

Who knew that Shen Lu almost threw him out with a backhand.

"Ah - pain, pain, pain!" Ruoyu was so painful that tears came out, and her face was full of panic.

Shen Lu hurriedly let go: "I'm sorry, I'm a martial arts practitioner, I'm used to it... are you... all right?"

Ruoxue glared at Shen Lu and protected Ruoyu, "Show me, is it hurt? Does it still hurt?"

Ruoyu held back tears and stretched out her hand to Ruoxue, but her wrist was a little red, Ruoxue rubbed it gently for a long time.Shen Lu was rather embarrassed, only feeling that she was too redundant.

Ruoxue protected Ruoyu in her arms, and moved her knees a little further away from Shen Lu.

"I told you to ignore her, and I don't know where Xiaomeng found a strange person to replace her, I'm afraid it's not from the palace!"

Shen Lu blinked her eyes twice and said with a smile: "This younger sister is really smart. I owe Xiaomeng a favor, and she is also a martial arts practitioner. I can't die with a little blood. Come to replace her. I'm sorry just now! Sister, please don't If you say it, Xiaomeng will be arrested by then."

Shen Lu's blunt appearance does not seem to be a lie, Ruoyu shook Ruoxue's arm: "I'm fine, don't be nervous, she is kind and righteous when she comes to help Xiaomeng, she is not a bad person."

"You, you don't have a long memory, how can there be so many good people in this world!" Ruoxue somewhat hated the iron, but she didn't stop Ruoyu from talking to Shen Lu.

But Shen Lu couldn't help but think, yes, there are so many good people in the world, silly girl.

The night gradually deepened, and it was clear during the day, but at night, it was covered with dark clouds, and the sky was heavy, and it kept falling, as if it was about to be pressed down, and the breath and body temperature were squeezed out of the body.

At about Haishi, Luo Jue arrived at the altar to check whether it was properly arranged. He saw three small figures snuggling together for warmth, shrinking like three quails.

"You are?"

Shen Lu lowered her head when she heard the familiar voice.Ruoxue replied: "Back to the fifth prince, the servant girl and others are the... offerings this time."
