Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1839: Chapter 1839: Blood Oath

At this moment, the flock of sheep was already extremely close. The shepherdess blew her whistle, and the flock stopped, nibbling on the sparse dry grass. She herself dashed swiftly towards Bai Ruozhu.

Her movements were quick, twisting like a swimming fish, causing Bai Ruozhu to squint. Isn’t this Zhou Jue’s special skill?

The shepherdess giggled, her voice like silver bells, ”Bai Ruozhu, you’re way too slow.”

Everyone looked towards Bai Ruozhu, clearly asking her who the opponent was.

Bai Ruozhu received Zhou Jue’s hint and spoke, ”She’s a friend of mine from River Jiang, her lightness skill is very impressive. It seems she’s already successfully infiltrated the Barbarian Tribe.”

What Zhou Jue meant by slow wasn’t just that Bai Ruozhu had only just arrived, but also that she wasn’t as quick as he was in infiltrating the Barbarian Tribe.

”I’ve been investigating for two days but haven’t found Jiang Yichun’s whereabouts; however, I can rescue his subordinate Chenfeng soon.” Zhou Jue was satisfied that Bai Ruozhu didn’t expose his identity, and he gave Bai Ruozhu a sweet smile. If Bai Ruozhu hadn’t known he had altered his clavicle, she might have been attracted by his sweet smile, increasing her good feelings toward him.

”You’ve seen Chenfeng, I’ve heard he was planted with serpent venom, what does it look like?” Bai Ruozhu asked.

Zhou Jue nodded with satisfaction, ”Not bad, it seems you’ve found quite a lot of information. I underestimated you. Now I understand why you came personally; I didn’t expect you to have such high prestige among the Barbarian Tribes, it’s really enviable.”

Detecting Bai Ruozhu glaring at him, Zhou Jue stopped rambling and spoke earnestly, ”I saw your guard last night, he’s truly miserable now.”

He shuddered as he spoke, ”Don’t blame me for being blunt, but when a man and a snake are mixed together, can he still be a human? It’s just like a monster. I saw the snake slithering under his skin with my own eyes. He howled in pain and crawled on the ground like a snake. Last night, he even killed two guards, and suddenly half of the snake drilled out from his hand and could bite a person to death with one bite.”

Everyone listened in horror; what on earth is Sangdian trying to do? How did they combine a person with a snake? It’s simply unbelievable!

”Does he still have consciousness?” Bai Ruozhu took a breath, trying to calm herself down.

”He does, continuously shouting to kill Sangdian, avenging his master. I suspect he thinks Jiang Yichun is dead,” Zhou Jue replied.

Thinking of the composed but mocking Muyu’s Chenfeng, Bai Ruozhu’s heart ached, making it impossible to stand upright; can she still cure him?

”Don’t act rashly just yet, I will contact the Barbarian Tribe people to overthrow Sangdian’s rule. If we rescue people now, it might alert the enemy.” Bai Ruozhu gritted her teeth, resolutely making this decision.

She knew Chenfeng would have to suffer for a few more days, but only this way could they solve the issue once and for all.

Chenfeng, sorry. She whispered silently in her heart.

Zhou Jue showed an expression of surprise; he impersonated the Barbarian girl starkly realistic, combined with his expression at the moment, it was as if he truly was a naive and lively teenage Barbarian girl.

”Great, now there’s a good show to watch, what do you need me to do?” Zhou Jue asked.

Bai Ruozhu hesitated, Zhou Jue immediately gave her a disdainful look, ”We’ve come this far, haven’t I shown enough sincerity? Stop distrusting people all the time.”

Bai Ruozhu smiled wryly, took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Zhou Jue, ”If you have a way, drug the Beast Team of the Barbarian Tribe in three days, be careful not to expose it.”

She would also arrange for Xiaohei to administer the drug, having Zhou Jue as a double insurance would be even better.

Zhou Jue took the medicine bottle and stuffed it into his arms, then proudly puffed out the small steamed buns he somehow packed inside, saying, ”Leave it to me!”

After he spoke, without further ado, he turned and drove the sheep away.

Everyone watched in astonishment. Tang Feng couldn’t help but ask, ”What does your friend do? Even if he’s infiltrating the Barbarian Tribe, how could he learn to herd sheep so quickly?”

Bai Ruozhu twitched the corner of her mouth; how would she know why Zhou Jue could drive such a large flock of sheep? Perhaps, there truly are geniuses in this world who can pick up anything they see.

...

Within the Barbarian Tribe camp, Dujin pretended to take his Beast Pet hunting nearby, quickly gathering with more than a dozen people in the forest.

He produced the hairpin Bai Ruozhu gave, saying, ”This is Lady Bai’s token, she is the high priest Duanyan’s honored figure in the Barbarian Tribe, will lead the Barbarian people to a good day, remember this, everybody?”

The others nodded, each looking at the hairpin with shining eyes; it wasn’t the style of the Barbarian Tribe, and back when Lady Bai temporarily resided with the tribe, she wore it on her head.

”Lady Bai said Sangdian killed his father and brother, massacred the tribe, unworthy to be the Barbarian Tribe’s king. Are you willing to be ruled by such a king? If he performs another Blood Sacrifice someday, who will perish next? Also, the Evil Technique he performed with Demon Woman Honglian, using our brothers as test subjects, the next ones could be our closest family members, or one among us. Can we still stand it?” He spoke increasingly excitedly but worked to keep his voice down.

”We cannot stand it!” The crowd also suppressed their voices, yet their emotions were all excited.

”We listen to Lady Bai, previously Sangta Prince helped us produce a batch of Cistanche, improving our lives, and now Sangdian won’t allow Cistanche plantation anymore; he remains in luxury, but what about us? What about the civilians?” Someone said angrily.

”Yes, he only cares about his own pleasure, ignoring the lives and deaths of the people, such a person is unfit to be king!”

Everyone eagerly expressed loyalty to Bai Ruozhu. Dujin took out a piece of Cistanche, saying, ”Lady Bai said she will handle those Beast Teams. I believe her words and will swear Blood Oath against Sangdian, three days later, we act together!”

Everyone took out their daggers and pricked their fingertips, dripping a drop of blood on the piece of Cistanche. This object brought them hope, now also their vow.

A piece of Cistanche passed around the Barbarian Tribe camp, tent by tent; each household’s head dripped blood on the Cistanche, which gradually turned crimson, eventually red as purple, then black, carrying the vows of the Barbarian Tribe.

Dujin didn’t go to meet Bai Ruozhu but sent his Beast Pet to find her. Because of the Black Stone, that black panther soon found Bai Ruozhu; it licked her palm and nuzzled Bai Ruozhu’s leg with its neck.

Bai Ruozhu bent over and rummaged around its neck, finally finding a small piece of thin sheepskin, somehow glued with plant branches and leaves within the black panther’s fur, hidden very discreetly.

Bai Ruozhu tried for a long time and ended up using a dagger to cut the black panther’s fur to remove the sheepskin.

”Revolt in three days.”

The sheepskin was small, holding only these four words, written sloppily, yet written in blood.

The Barbarian Tribe writes book with blood as the most solemn vow, swearing with one’s blood and soul, never to break the promise.
