"Oh my God!"

What is that?

The blue waves that catch the sky appear in this small stream, and its magnificence is even more terrifying than what they saw in the East China Sea back then!

After all, this is not the East China Sea.

The people of Qixian County are just that, the guards around His Royal Highness King Li thought that they were well-informed, and they could not be surprised when they encountered anything, but they were really frightened at this time.

"Look!"

Everyone watched in amazement as Hongchen stepped into the waves, walked to the water, and was caught by the bamboo raft that went and returned.

For a while, even King Li felt that he was about dazzled, maybe he drank a little too much yesterday, and he was still in a drunken dream at this time.

“…… It's not water, I see, it's fish! ”

After recovering from the fright, those with clear brains found that it was not the waves that swept in, but the dense fish.

All kinds of fish, I can't tell what kind of fish they are at all, the big ones are two arms long, the small ones are only the size of a palm, and they are in groups, whistling past, and they look far away to cover the sky and the sun.

Everyone looked at the fish in amazement, and they rushed to the raft before they dispersed and surrounded the raft.

It was so bumpy, but Hongchen didn't even mess up the corners of his clothes, sat down on his knees, lowered his head, and looked as if he was communicating with those fish.

King Li saw the big carp with red scales at the front, and suddenly thought, maybe it was really an envoy sent by the Dragon King.

The girl can indeed communicate with the dragon king.

Master Sanyi also didn't expect that this girl really had such skills, and he was also skeptical...... Could it be that in this small stream, there is really a dragon king?

He practiced for many years, when he prayed to the gods and Buddhas, the gods and Buddhas did not give him protection, so he did not believe in the gods and Buddhas from then on, this time he would do his hands and feet, but for the sake of Puji Temple, for a woman who knelt by the river as a sacrifice.

If he really believes that gods and Buddhas have spirits, I am afraid that he will not make a fool of himself and come to such a sacrificial occasion.

After a long time, Hongchen got up and went ashore, splashed ink and drew a talisman, and handed it to King Li.

"Your Highness, you take this talisman and go back, as long as you return to the capital, the dragon king will naturally escort the ghost in the water back to his hometown...... When burying, in addition to clothing, it is best to have some objects of great significance to the deceased. ”

She said it very solemnly.

If someone else said this, King Li must have thought that the other party was perfunctory, but when he saw such a strange scene today, he believed it and took it carefully.

Hongchen's heart was relieved, and he wanted to ask what to do with these captives since they could no longer be sacrificed alive, so he saw King Li wave his hand and let those guards and the women on the edge of the stream pull over and still kneel in front.

His eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his tone was hard.

"Since the Dragon King doesn't accept you, then you have to bury my brothers."

Hongchen: "......"

She has been busy for half a day, is this the result? What a hatred this must be, what a grievance, how can a dignified prince compete with these women!

"Your Highness, today's killing is unknown."

"Don't worry, it's getting dark, and I can let them live until the sun rises tomorrow."

After working hard for half a day, this is the result now! Hongchen sighed, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Why does the prince have to let them die?" ”

King Li sneered, pulled out the long knife on his waist, wiped it carefully, and said word by word: "Girl, do you know, who are these people?" This one, the daughter of the prefect of Chenzhou, that one, is a clan lady, and she is the concubine of the king of Heluo County, most of them are noble children, who are favored by the emperor and enjoy all the glory and wealth, they are thieves, isn't it more hateful? ”

Hongchen frowned.

She actually hated in her heart, Huang Mang's rebellion, Chenzhou was almost razed to the ground, every household was slaughtered, many women in those years, after the death of their families, they committed suicide and died, it is said that after the emperor fled, he heard that Chenzhou was burned, asked about the situation at the time, the spy only replied, the bones were buried in the city!

In order to exterminate the traitors, the soldiers under King Li suffered heavy casualties, so it is no wonder that he was angry.

Hongchen thought about it, and finally felt that these women were innocent, but she had done too much today, although King Li was grateful, he was also wary, hesitated, and didn't know whether to continue to persuade him.

There was silence for a moment, and suddenly the sound of a harp came from the stream.

The sound of the piano was a little bleak, first lamenting, then turning to passion, as if mourning, and like seeing off the heroic spirits in the water.

Hongchen's mood was immediately well soothed.

Not only her, but the people around her, when they heard the sound of the piano, they couldn't help but tilt their ears, the shore was silent, and those anger and pain seemed to fade away with the sound of the piano.

King Li closed his eyes, and his expression was not so angry.

After a while, the sound of the piano stopped, and Hongchen looked over and saw her senior brother Lin, with a green robe and wide sleeves, taking a flat boat and coming downstream, and it had already docked at this time.

Xue Baiqiao saw it from a distance, and he called out in a hurry.

Lin Xu didn't hear it, went ashore, saluted King Li first, glanced at the women who were kneeling on the ground, numb, and sighed: "These people, only three people were forced to be helpless, and they had shot at our soldiers, no matter what the reason, they should naturally resist their lives, but the others ......"

Sighing again, he shook his head, "Thieves have always been fierce and rebellious, at that time there were 300,000 troops in Chenzhou, and then there were 200,000 imperial army to help, my Great Zhou 500,000 army, but still unable to defend the city, even His Majesty was injured and abandoned the city and left, the imperial court has been conscripted seven times, and he has returned, and now His Royal Highness accuses these women for not disobeying the thieves, and where are those ministers and generals?" ”

King Li was stunned for a moment, and fell silent, but his anger was gone, and he said after a long time: "...... If His Majesty forgives, I have nothing to say, if they receive the death penalty, I will ask someone to bury them, and ensure that they will be blessed with incense. ”

Hongchen was taken aback, when did this Highness become so easy to speak...... Maybe it's because it's Lin Xu who speaks.

Those girls were already desperate, closing their eyes and waiting for death, when they heard King Li say this, they suddenly sobbed quietly.

"Thank you, Lord, thank you, Son."

They have suffered hardships, but they are not afraid of death in their hearts, but many families refuse to recognize each other, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to enter the ancestral grave after death, and they don't even know if the bones can be preserved, how can they not despair? Now that I have the words of King Li, I am finally at ease.

This sacrifice, although the sacrifices are all good, it seems that it is not completed, but everyone is still happy.

King Li is not a particularly trustworthy person, but his untrustworthiness is generally only to the enemy, and in front of his own family, he is still quite embarrassed, and he really asked his subordinates to escort a bunch of prisoners back, and by the way, they changed their clothes.

After tossing, the sun went down, and Hongchen was so tired that he couldn't do it, not only mentally exhausted, but also physically exhausted.

Master Sanyi came over and said with a smile: "It's too dark, Xue Gong and Miss please go with me to rest for one night and try the vegetarian food made by Senior Brother." ”

Xue Gonggong is a foodie, and when he heard it, his saliva flowed, and Hongchen heard the big monk come over and whisper that he had a gift for her, so he should go down, and he tossed hard for most of the day, shouldn't he get some compensation?

She had long forgotten that there was still a Xia Shijie left in the hands of King Li.
