It's just borrowing the name of the Son of Heaven, as for whether the Son of Heaven is stupid or not, Ji Cheng doesn't care at all. As long as the appearance of the Son of Heaven is not damaged, and the brocade clothes are standing there, can be obediently used as an ornament, wouldn't it be better if his brain is stupid?

"Actually, it's for the best." Ji Cheng turned his head to look at Su Yunsheng: "I was still hesitating a while ago, Jiang Lan's martial arts are strong and difficult to take care of, we will inevitably have a time when we are secret, in order to prevent him from escaping, do we want to break his tendons and abolish his martial arts." But I also feel that if I really do this, Chu Heng will hold a grudge against me because of this, and he will not really help me in the future. ”

"How dare she hold a grudge against the prince?" Su Yunsheng raised his eyebrows: "Chu Heng is just a child who has not yet grown up, she is the most vulnerable to others at her age, as long as she finds some people to blow the wind in her ears more, what is the effort to coax a child." ”

"Blowing the wind in your ears?" A smile appeared at the corner of Ji Cheng's mouth: "What does Wufu do?" Isn't her job to deceive people, and you let others deceive her? It's hard......"

Su Yunsheng's face was full of disapproval.

Fujicheng was busy, the sun was gradually sinking in the west, Ji Cheng stood in front of the door of the Qianjialou, watching the soldiers smoke the house with braziers in their hands, their faces expressionless.

"Lord Shizi, there are more than ten little maids who have returned to the house today, and they will come back tomorrow, but even so, most of the people in this house have been lost, and there is not enough manpower at all, do you want to recruit some people?" Shen Hua stood beside Su Yunsheng with a respectful expression.

"It's up to you."

Shen Hua responded, and said in a low voice: "The prince has sent a message that the queen mother's birthday is approaching, and he will enter Beijing to congratulate him before the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

"A congratulatory gift to Beijing?" Ji Cheng's face darkened: "Dad, what do you mean?" ”

"The prince asked the prince not to worry, as long as the emperor is in our hands, the prince will be fine."

Ji Cheng snorted coldly: "The queen mother is a madman, what if she doesn't care about the emperor in her heart at all and makes a move on her father?" ”

"The prince reassures the prince." Shen Hua saw that the prince was angry, and his heart trembled: "The queen mother is such a relative of the emperor, so she shouldn't be ......."

"Shouldn't it?" Shi Ziye smiled even colder: "She is a person with such strong power." Do you think that if we arrest the emperor, the queen mother will be waiting to die? ”

"......"

"The Queen Mother is only in her early thirties, and she is not in her twilight years, so she is afraid that she will not be easily succumbed." Ji Cheng frowned: "Send someone to the capital to find my father along the road." After finding it, let Dad not act lightly, and be sure to persuade him to come back. ”

Shen Hua responded.

"I'll write a handwritten letter, and you give it to my father personally." Ji Cheng stepped into the Qianjia Tower.

Shen Hua got Ji Cheng's handwritten letter, led a black horse, and was about to go to the official road when he left the house. Just ran a short distance, up the gentle slope, and saw the fire on the side of the river embankment from a distance, and the pupils of human figures.

Shen Hua only glanced at it, although he was curious, but he didn't dare to stay because he had a task on his body, so he pulled the reins of the horse and left.

In the south of Fujicheng City, Su Yunsheng rode a horse and walked on the street with a team of people. The night was dark. Fuji Castle has just been soaked in the river again, and now it is a luxury to be able to light a fire and a lamp, and this night is especially dark.

"It's damp everywhere ......" Su Yunsheng listened to the sound of the horse's hooves stepping into the water, and his heart became inexplicably irritable.

Su Yunsheng patrolled the streets, and walked to the south gate. Because there were countless corpses to be disposed of in the city, which needed to be transported out of the city without stopping, the gates remained wide open at night. As soon as Su Yunsheng rode his horse to the gate of the city, he faintly heard the sound of huing outside the city.

"What's going on by the river?" Su Yunsheng dismounted the reins and stood at the gate of the city. From afar, the night is vast. He saw only a little fire, like a dragon walking on the edge of the sky.

"Childe, that's a sacrifice to the god of the river." The guards at the city gate stepped forward and stood beside Su Yunsheng's horse to answer questions.

"Sacrifice to the god of the river?" Su Yunsheng's eyes lit up: "There is still such an old custom in Fujicheng?" ”

"Fujijo has an old custom of worshipping the god of the river. But it hasn't appeared for many years, and the little one was only mentioned by the old people when I was a child. The guard tilted his head and flattered: "Do you want the little leader to take a look?" ”

Su Yunsheng looked down at the guard, and there was a light in the guard's eyes.

"What have you heard?"

"Uh......" The guard was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Su Yunsheng asked him what he had heard the old people talk about when he was a child, and he hurriedly said: "The little ancestor is a fisherman, and the little one heard about this sacrifice to the river god from his grandfather." I heard that in the process of sacrificing to the god of the river, the most important step is to kill the livestock and sacrifice, if the river is angry and accepts the sacrifice, the body of the livestock will sink to the bottom of the river with a whirl, and there is no blood on the surface of the river. ”

"It's pitch black, what can you see the blood on the river......" Su Yunsheng pursed the corners of his lips with a look of disdain.

"Young Master Su." The guard was a little anxious, he stiffened his neck and said: "The sacrifice to the river god should be in this kind of moonless and starless night, only rely on the people's hands to hold torches for lighting, and then if the river god accepts the sacrifice, the dark clouds will immediately disperse, revealing the moonlight shining on the surface of the river is silver, and the sacrifice will sink into the river ...... at this time."

Su Yunsheng didn't speak, but the disdain on his face became stronger: "It sounds really evil, so what if the dark clouds don't disperse?" ”

"If the clouds do not disperse, the sacrifice has failed, and the priest is unable to communicate with the gods." The guard smacked his lips: "I can only choose a different priest on a day and hold another sacrifice to the god of the river." ”

Su Yunsheng raised his eyebrows: "It's over with another person and a new sacrifice?" There is a saying that the river is sacrificed to the river with a living person, why is there no one who sinks the river to worship the river god by the river? ”

The guard's face turned pale when he heard this, and his tone was a little worried: "There are also people who sacrifice to the river god, but it is not common. ”

"Oh?"

"I just told Gongzi that when the sacrifice enters the river, the dark clouds disperse, and the moonlight falls, if the animal sacrifice does not sink into the river, but circles on the river, it means that the river god thinks that the sacrifice is too low, and then human ......sacrifice will be used."

Su Yunsheng raised his eyebrows. I laughed secretly in my heart, if the dark clouds do not disperse, the priest and the gods cannot communicate, the dark clouds disperse, and the sacrifices do not sink into the river, that is, the river gods dislike the sacrifices and do not meet their wishes, which sounds quite reasonable at first glance.

The guard was a little anxious: "Don't believe it, Childe, it's really a sacrifice, my grandfather said ......"

Su Yunsheng waved his hand and stopped the guard's words: "I've been busy enough in the past two days, so it's good to go and see the excitement." ”

After saying that, Su Yunsheng rode his horse to the south of the city and walked slowly.

There are a lot of corpses outside the south gate, and they are discharged far away from the city gate, and the corpses are all white from the river blistering, with a hideous face and a swollen appearance. Su Yunsheng only looked down twice, and then rode through it. The guards who followed behind Su Yunsheng had torches in their hands, followed closely behind Su Yunsheng's horses, and also passed through the corpse.

"The firmament of the sky! The vastness of the earth! ”

"Yo! Yo! ”

"Life is slim! Life and death are ordinary! ”

"Hooray! Phew! ”

Looking at the girl dancing around the fire on the embankment, listening to the clear singing voice coming out of her mouth, Su Yun was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, he turned his head sharply and shouted at the guards under the horse: "Hurry up and ask the prince to come over!" Tell him that Chu Heng is worshipping the river god by the river! (To be continued.) )
