Ruo Ziyong took the opportunity to say quickly, "Clan Elder, now that the princess is being hunted down and killed, Ziyong has taken refuge in the ancestral hall in order to protect the princess, if you don't save us, my blood and blood of the Ao clan will die at the hands of the assassin!"

"Lord Ling Yin will definitely blame us!"

If Ao Ziyong said this, the other party still hesitated.

Seeing this, the woman frowned slightly, through the crack in the door, thinking about the words said by the people she heard on weekdays, she stepped forward and said calmly, "This clan elder, I have always heard that if the Ao clan is the largest clan in my Great Chu, is it possible that now I see that the princess is dying here, but I don't help, is it that if you Ruo Ao's rules are greater than the heavens of my Chu country?

The woman screamed higher than the other.

One sentence after another, the eyes are like torches.

Everyone in the door was a little weak-hearted.

"This ......"

The patriarch who guarded the spirit saw that the other party had a stomach, and he didn't know what to do, it was the first time he had encountered this matter, and he had already recognized her identity when he looked at the pregnant woman in front of him.

But he didn't know whether to go in or not.

Women and children entering the ancestral hall is a big taboo and will invite great disaster.

However, he also knew that the birth of this child of the princess was afraid that it was his hope for the prosperity of the Ao family.

He can't afford not to protect it.

In his dilemma, Ruo Ziyong also fought hard, shouted, didn't care about anything, grabbed the woman's wrist, turned her head and turned her head righteously and left.

"Forget it, there is no master here, there is a place to keep the master!Daughter, Zi Yong will definitely swear to protect you to the death, please don't blame me on the ancestor of the Ruo Ao clan at that time!"

"Let's go down the mountain now and go to Lord Cheng to move the rescuers!"

Now if you can't keep the princess.

I'm afraid that he will be killed afterwards.

So, he's gambling on his life now!

Zhang Fang was stunned when he heard this, Lord Yin of his county has always been submissive, when did he have such courage!

"That's it, don't take it as an example!"

When the clan elder heard this, he finally ordered someone to open the door quickly and let them in, "Then you come in quickly, and the rest of the guards will guard the ancestral hall, and the assassins will never be allowed to enter, and the ancestors' resting place will be ruined." ”

"Yes, clan elder. ”

All the people obeyed.

Everyone entered the ancestral hall, under the long-lasting lights of the lamp, I saw dozens of spirit cards in the main hall, the top is the first generation of ancestor Bobby, and then the first generation of Ling Yin, if Ao Ziwen, down in turn, a total of eight rows, in addition, under the tablet, there is a long scroll of genealogy family training spread on the long gold case.

There is a perennial incense in the incense burner.

Day and night, worship the ancestors endlessly.

The clan elder sighed, and then said to Ruo Ao Ziyong, "Since you have come in, let the ancestors confess!"

"Yes, thank you. ”

Ruo Ziyong picked up three yellow incense sticks from the side according to the order, approached the white candle and lit it, and then changed his usual laziness, and solemnly knelt down and bowed, "If the ancestor of the Ao family is above, please forgive the eighth generation of grandchildren, Zi Yong is reckless, in order to save the wife of the disciple Yan, he dared to disturb the ancestors' rest today." If he escapes one day, he will repay it the day to come. ”

After speaking, he knocked his head three times.

Seeing this, the woman also did the same, lit incense and bowed, "If the ancestor of the Ao family is above, today in order to save the life of the princess, the little girl trespassed into the ancestral hall, please forgive the ancestors." ”

Everyone didn't pay attention to the woman's words in a panic, but after bowing, everyone respectfully inserted the yellow incense into the furnace, and paid attention to the movement outside.

Not long after I heard it, there was a shouting and killing sound outside, and the clan elder ordered people to hurry out to investigate, "Go out and see, what is the situation?"

"Yes, clan elder ......"

The guards rushed out of the ancestral hall with swords and halberds, only to see a large number of black-clothed people appear outside, and immediately ordered someone to draw their bows and prepare to release arrows, "Who dares to trespass into the ancestral hall of the Ruo Ao clan!"

"Hurry up and retreat, spare your life!"

Outside the ancestral hall, Lu Yi frowned when he heard the words and looked up at the golden plaque archway standing, hesitating, not daring to step forward.

The rest of the subordinates asked, "Commander, what should we do? This is a big ancestral hall, and you can't use swords!"

At that time, there was a sense of reverence for the ancestors.

Don't dare to approach.

Even want to back off.

"But if we wait, we will come from the right side at once, and when the time comes, we will miss the opportunity, and we will not be in vain. Lu Yi hesitated when he thought of Yue Jiaoxia's fate, "Now that we have come to this point, if we don't kill the princess, we will also receive death when we go back!"

"Come on, set fire to force them out. ”

Lu is single-minded and horizontal, and he is fateful.

Everyone pulled out the wine jar on their waists, threw it on the burning bronze giant tripod and poured it, and suddenly a fire rose to the sky through the glowing fire, looking at the thick black smoke, the attendant of the Ruo Ao clan who was guarding the spirit shouted for help, "Come on, it's not good......! Extinguish the fire quickly......"

Hearing the sound of "walking water" outside, the clan elder immediately opened the gate and rushed out, shouting, "This is to destroy the three-hundred-year-old foundation of my Ruo Ao clan......

"Who the hell are they?"

"What the hell do you want to do?"

“…… Do evil!...... Come on, come on, put out the fire!"

I saw the tongue of fire climbing up along the archway built by ancient wood and the corner of the ancestral hall, if Ao Ziyong stood in the hall and looked at the fire outside the ancestral hall, he suddenly felt that the sky was going to fall!

This is the most sacred place in the entire Ruoao clan, even when Lord Ling Yin sacrifices every year, he doesn't dare to speak loudly here, except for what New Year's Festival, the sacrificial ceremony, the ancestral hall is closed on weekdays, and no one is allowed to disturb it.

He can't afford to burn down the ancestral hall and take care of it poorly.

Let the fire burn, and the ancestral hall will be finished.

Is the prophecy of the patriarchs about to come true?

If Ao is a sinner through the ages, he can't afford it.

Ruo Ao Ziyong's scalp was numb, and his heart jumped, and the woman also urged him worriedly, "Lord Ruo Ao, hurry up and put out the fire!

"Yes, yes, extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire!"

Ruo Ao Ziyong shouted.

Zhang Fang was also stunned, and then immediately ordered someone to scoop water to put out the fire, but in such a hot and dry weather, the fire simply rose when the wind was seen, and after a while, it had already covered the high wall and burned the entire ancestral hall.

"Let's go help!"

The entire ancestral hall was boiling.

Thinking that he accidentally set fire to the ancestral hall, if Ao Ziyong personally picked up a wooden basin and scooped up water, he hurried to the outside of the ancestral hall.

Everyone rushed out with pots and buckets and began to put out the fire.

The gate opened, and Lu Yi, who was guarding outside, suddenly wanted to take the opportunity to rush in, and all the guards fought with them.

Many elderly people came out when they heard the movement, looked at the fire and knelt in front of the ancestral hall and wept, shouting: "This is the heavens who want to kill my Ruo Ao clan!"

"The soul of the ancestors, there is nowhere to rest in the future!"

Cheng Jia, who came in a hurry, looked at the burning house and was shocked.

He never thought that a small secret door actually led to the Ruo Ao ancestral hall, and if Ao Yuejiao's people actually boldly set fire to the Ruo Ao ancestral hall, it was really bold to do this, the thick green smoke rolled straight into the sky, and the half of the night sky in Jingnan was smoked even darker, and the firelight reflected the entire Jingling City, so he hurriedly ordered someone to put out the fire.

Lu saw that the matter was big and Cheng Jia's reinforcements had arrived, so he hurriedly ordered everyone, "Take advantage of this opportunity, let's withdraw quickly!"

"Don't leave anything behind!"

"Yes!"

The Assassins fought and retreated, and the crowd busied themselves with putting out the fire.

The fire lasted for more than half an hour before it was extinguished.

Cheng Jia looked at the ancestral hall that burned down the periphery, and it was fortunate that it didn't burn inside, but all the clansmen of the Ruo Ao clan knelt on the scorched black land one by one in grief, crying bitterly.

It's as if there is no more peace.

If the Ao clan is ruined.

Cheng Jia frowned deeply, stood under a charred archway, ordered the dead bodies of the assassins left behind to be carried in front of the clan elders, and said slowly, "Today's matter is because these thieves are bold enough to assassinate the princess, please let the clan elders be a witness, and then decide this matter." I will report the assassination of the princess to Lord Yin. ”

The crowd was silent for a while, then there was a commotion.

Several old men suddenly stood up and shouted, "Clan Elder, this matter can't just be over, this arsonist must be caught and scraped with a thousand knives to comfort the spirit of the ancestors!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Kill them!"

All the people who came were outraged.

The clan elder nodded heavily, stood up on the ground, and said angrily, "If I have lived a lifetime and guarded the ancestral hall for decades, and the burning of the ancestral hall today, if we Ao clan will not give up, even if I go to Beijing to report to the king, I will find out this madman!"

"Yes, we Ruo Ao must not swallow this breath!"

Cheng Jia walked to Ruo Ao Ziyong's side, looked at him who was also kneeling on the ground, and said, "If Ao County Yin must have been robbed and killed this letter of Jingling County Yin's mansion, if Ao County's ancestral hall was burned, you know how to write it!"

"Yes, yes...... The lower officials know, I will definitely tell Lord Ling Yin the truth!" Ruo Ao Zi knelt down and agreed.

Things have come to this.

How else did he hide it.

He can only take one step at a time.

All the clan elders will definitely push someone out to extinguish the fire in their hearts, and even he can imagine that it will spread to Yingdu, making Lord Yin and Lord Sima even more angry.

This is the groundbreaking on the head of their ancestors of the Ruoao clan.

No one of the clansmen could bear this breath.

Otherwise, how will the Ao clan gain a foothold in the Chu State in the future.

"Okay, lady, the official will take it away!"

"Tonight, you have worked hard to bring someone to protect the princess, and after returning to Beijing, this official will definitely play an order to Lord Yin and give a reward. Cheng Jia saw that Ruo Ao Ziyong was an understanding person, and he bowed his head.

"Thank you, sir, for your kind words. ”

Ruo Ao Zi knelt down and looked at the woman behind him, only to see that she glanced at him faintly, he also glanced at her, and then she bowed deeply to herself, "Ruo Ao County Yin, thank you for your desperate protection today." ”

"The lower official can't afford to be a big gift!"

If Ao Ziyong didn't dare to accept his big gift, but his eyes reluctantly fell on her departing back, and he stepped forward and hurriedly said, "Daughter, he may see Ziyong when he enters Beijing?"

Cheng Jia smiled slightly when he heard this, glanced at the woman opposite, and the woman bowed her head and said, "If you have a fate, you can naturally see it." ”

If not......

The carriage gradually moved, and the cry of the Ruo Ao clan was thrown behind the carriage, and in the carriage, Cheng Jia said to the woman sitting opposite, "Azhu This time, you did a good job, after returning to Yingdu, I will definitely thank you on behalf of the princess." ”

"Ah Zhu can't afford to be the thank you of his son, Ah Zhu has been greatly favored by the Cheng family all his life, but he just did what Ah Zhu should do. ”

Azhu bowed his head and said.
