Chapter 101: Civil Strife in Xijon (3)

He is a sinner who has sinned against the true God, and he cannot be put to death. How he is punished depends on the will of the true God! Hearing the shaman's words, everyone stopped moving.

And at this moment, the eldest prince Najib has been beaten by everyone and is dying. Looking at the angry crowd, the shaman stopped praying, pointed at Shen Rong and said to everyone, "This girl is our missing Princess Ziyan!" Following the guidance of the true God, it took me ten years to find her. ”

"I've seen Princess Purple Smoke!" Everyone was convinced of the words of the Heavenly Master, and soon saluted Shen Rong together. Shen Rong also followed their example and returned the salute to them on the brocade couch. A familiar voice came from his ears again: "Don't talk too much, the Heavenly Master will say everything you have to say." All you have to do is sit here. Now you don't know Sijon, and if you talk more, you'll be flawed. Shen Rong listened and nodded slightly. It's just that she is curious, where is the owner of the voice? Why every time she felt embarrassed, he seemed to know in advance.

Her eyes raced around the hall, but she didn't see the familiar figure. But he heard the man continue to say in his ear, "Don't look for it, I'll be by your side." You can't see me now, and I'll see you when I'm empty!" So, she gave up the search in discouragement, and continued to sit on the brocade couch, letting the people around her look around her and discuss.

They all spoke Xirong dialect, and Shen Rong naturally didn't understand a word, but from their expressions and gestures, she could roughly guess that they were talking about her, the princess of Ziyan, who was indeed very beautiful, and looked very similar to the queen.

Thinking of the queen, she couldn't help but feel a little curious, speaking of which, she and Ziyan, because of their height and body shape, are about the same, and they both have goose egg faces, big eyes, and look closely. In fact, at most, it is seven or eight points similar, wearing Xia Dynasty clothes, and the difference between the two is even clear at a glance. It's just that I put on Xijon's costume and look at it at a glance. It turned out to be very similar. By the time she got here, more than one person said she looked like Queen Sijon. Since, Gesang Meadow also said before that there is a portrait of the queen in the palace, and now it has arrived in the palace anyway. She couldn't help but want to take the opportunity to see how similar she was to that princess.

She lowered her head and saw Mei Duo standing beside the Celestial Master, who was not far from her, so she quietly made a gesture to her. Mei Duo is a clever girl, and when she saw Shen Rong's signal, she quickly walked to Shen Rong's side.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, is there something wrong?" She still spoke to her in the official language of the Xia Dynasty. "I haven't been back in a long time. When I arrived at the palace, I couldn't help but think of my father and mother, can you accompany me to see the portrait of my mother? Shen Rong finished asking, and saw the hesitation and confusion flashing on Mei Duo's face. I realized that I had made a mistake that I shouldn't have made.

"Otherwise, forget it! There are too many things going on today, and now it's so messy, let's go back! Shen Rong saw Mei Duo's expression and quickly changed her words. Mei Duo glanced at the Heavenly Master who was discussing matters with the leaders of the four major clans, smiled at Shen Rong, and said, "It is reasonable that the princess misses the queen. The slave will accompany you to see the portrait of the queen! ”

Seeing the portrait of Queen Xirong, Shen Rong realized what a stupid mistake she had made before. It is true that the portrait of Queen Sijon is in the royal palace, but her portrait is not in the king's study or any other palace as she had imagined. Instead, it hung in the middle of the great hall, right above the throne.

A portrait of a woman was openly hung in the main hall of the royal palace. This seemed to Shen Rong to be an incredible thing. How much does this Xijon country lord love this woman, so he will hang the portrait of his beloved woman here in such a grand manner! It's just that I heard before that the lord and queen of the kingdom turned against each other? Why do you still keep her portrait? Shen Rong felt that she simply couldn't understand.

But the queen of Sijon is indeed very beautiful. Decades later. Shen Rong can still feel the charm she exudes from the faces and expressions of the people in the painting. Different from Ziyan's usual glamorous charm and occasionally surprising heroism, her beauty is natural, with a little innocent and childish feeling. Her bright smile is like a dazzling ray of sunshine, making everyone who looks at her feel a kind of warmth. And that lively body movement shows the other side of her innocence. This queen gives people the image of being beautiful, not like a real person. Sure enough, it's like a fairy who accidentally stole into the mortal world. It is no wonder that the lord of Xijon is so infatuated with her. Although Shen Rong usually thinks that she is outstanding, after seeing this portrait, she can't help but feel a little ashamed of herself. She didn't know how she resembled the queen. even felt that Ziyan, although she said that she was the queen's biological daughter, seemed to be just a shape, and she didn't have the charm of this queen of Ulanzhu at all.

"The Queen is the most beautiful woman I have ever met! She is also very kind-hearted. Hang her portrait here to let everyone know that we have such a beautiful queen in Xirong, and it is the pride of every one of us in Xirong! Mei Duo's voice sounded in Shen Rong's ears. Looking at Mei Duo with a proud face, Shen Rong suddenly felt a sense of honor. Although I am only thought to be like this queen, isn't it also a very proud thing to be able to resemble this queen? If it weren't for the fact that she knew that she was originally the eldest daughter of the Gao family, Shen Rong really had to wonder if she really had something to do with this queen.

However, the current situation is that she is pretending to be the queen's daughter, which can be regarded as indirectly related to the queen, right? Thinking of her identity at this moment, Shen Rong couldn't help but feel embarrassed. When the daughter who returned to the palace after a long time saw the portrait of her mother, her first reaction didn't seem to be the aura of admiration and admiration she had just now, right? No matter what, in those novels that I have read, reuniting after a long absence, it seems that it is indispensable to hug your head and cry no matter what. It's just that the Si people have passed away, and it can't be done to hold their heads and cry. But as a daughter, it seems normal to cry out loud, right? What to do? Is it too late to cry now? Shen Rong hesitated.

"Princess, you're back! The old slave has been looking forward to seeing you, but I've been looking forward to it for ten years! As soon as you came back, you came to visit the queen, and it is true that the queen has been thinking about you for so many years! A short, stocky woman dressed as a palace lady rushed over.

What's the situation? What does it mean that the queen has been thinking about it for so many years? Isn't that queen dead? Which one is this singing? Shen Rong was stunned. didn't notice that this woman's mouth was full of official words of the Xia Dynasty. "What do you mean by that?" She asked the question in her heart, and then, Mei Duo's expression changed drastically, and the expression of the female official Xijon also changed.

"You're not a princess!" The Xirong female officer screamed and rushed towards Shen Rong. Before Shen Rong could react, one of her hands had already grabbed Shen Rong's face. "You're just relying on this princess-like face, and you're going to Xijon to swindle! He also kept our Heavenly Master in the dark. Dealing with the eldest prince with the Heavenly Master, in a vain attempt to seize the throne of our Xirong! You. It's the spy of the Great Xia Dynasty! ”

What's going on? Shen Rong was completely stunned. Seeing that the female officer's hand was about to scratch her face, suddenly a figure flashed, and the female officer screamed like a ghost and retreated.

Her hands had fallen to the ground, and blood gushed out like a spring. A few drops even splashed on Shen Rong's face. This time. Shen Rong decisively fainted.

On the other hand, the situation in the palace has been reversed again. "Celestial Master, Namu and the people of the Heavenly Eagle Department have surrounded the palace. said that he wanted you to hand over the spies of the Great Xia Dynasty! "Someone rushed in and reported to the Celestial Master. At this time, the eldest prince had been taken into custody, and the Celestial Master was discussing with the leaders of the four major clans about the sins that the eldest prince had committed before.

I heard a report from someone who came. The Celestial Master's face showed a look of helplessness. "This Namu is really immortal if he doesn't have the heart of the Yellow River. Does he have to do this, to mess up the whole of Sijon? He let out a long sigh. When the leaders of the other four tribes heard the news, they all showed the same hatred, "Let that Namu come over!" I don't believe that with the power of our four departments, we can't destroy the Aquila Department! After so many years of being oppressed by them, it's time for us to resist! Alxa was the first to speak.

"Nonsense, the five tribes on the grassland were originally one! If you kill one another. We will have no peace in Xirong, and from now on, Xirong will no longer be Xirong! If any of you ever bring up the matter of fighting again, it will be against the will of the true God! The Shaman Heavenly Master stopped Alxa's proposal with a serious face.

"What does the Heavenly Master want us to do? The Aquila has put the knife on our necks, so are we going to take it with our hands? Waiting to be killed, to be exterminated? "Alxa is in a hurry. The Aquila is currently in the hands of the eldest prince Najib, who has a brutal temperament and is not merciful to the people of his own tribe, and even more cruel to the other four tribes. It was from him that the proposal of the military slave began. If a soldier goes out to fight does not win the battle, or if he is bleeding and wounded in the battle. Even sacrificed. Not only could they not get pensions, but their families were also arrested by the eldest prince and given to the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty who had secretly provided intelligence and convenience to the Xirong army before, called military slaves. The officials of the Great Xia Dynasty then reported these people to the imperial court for meritorious deeds. The eldest prince's move was extremely vicious, and he drove all his soldiers like wolves, and none of them dared to retreat. He also bribed those corrupt officials on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty, so that they could open the door for him to plunder in the Great Xia Dynasty at will. The ordinary people of Xirong and the Great Xia Dynasty were poisoned by this rule and could not make a living. And in terms of using military slaves. The eldest prince has another set of rules for the Aquila Department and strict rules for the other four. Therefore, it can be said that not only the people of the Xia Dynasty, but also the people of the other four tribes of Xirong, when it comes to the eldest prince, they all hate him to the core.

Now the eldest prince was finally subdued by the Heavenly Master, and his brother Namu surrounded the palace with the men and horses of the Aquila Department. If he rescues the eldest prince, then in the future, with the temperament of the eldest prince who will repay his flaws, the lives of the other four can be imagined. Therefore, Alxa, who is like a fire, was the first to jump out and ask for resistance.

It's just that the current number of people in the palace is only the guards brought by the four leaders, plus the personal guards of the eldest prince who returned to the Heavenly Master before, the total number is not much. What's more, they had already fought a big battle before, and many people died. Now the rest of the people, with wounded and wounded, exhausted and exhausted, only rely on a lonely bravery. And now, this lonely courage has been extinguished by the Heavenly Master.

"The true god is on our side, don't forget, we still have Princess Purple Smoke! She's the real leader of the Aquila! Because she is the only one who is the daughter of the chief of the Aquila tribe! The words of the Shaman Heavenly Master made everyone present rekindle hope in their hearts, how could they forget Princess Ziyan?

"Hand over the Xia Dynasty's spy purple smoke! She united with the people of the Xia Dynasty in a vain attempt to destroy our Xirong! "The clamor outside is getting louder and louder. This Namu actually slandered Princess Ziyan as a spy? Those who heard the clamor were very angry. The Purple Smoke Princesses have been out of the country for so many years and have suffered so much, and it was not easy for the Heavenly Master to get her back, and they actually insisted that she was a spy? Before, they had heard the Heavenly Master explain in detail how to find Princess Ziyan, and they knew that the dignified Princess Xirong had to deign to be an Oiran in the Qing Mansion of the Xia Dynasty, and their lungs were about to explode. And when they heard that the princess had been made the county lord by the emperor of the Xia Dynasty and married to the prince whose status was second only to the prince, they felt better in their hearts. Although the princess is married, after all, she is married to a prince. No matter how you say it, she can be regarded as a princess. The princess is always much more noble than the Oiran, and this prince of the Xia Dynasty is still discerning. To be able to brave the eyes of the world and marry an Oiran as a princess is indeed courageous. After hearing a combined version of the story of Shen Rong and Ziyan, inexplicably, the leaders of the four divisions and the palace guards all had a good impression of this prince of the Great Xia Dynasty who had never met. Therefore, when they heard the people outside call Ziyan a spy, they were even more angry.

"Heavenly Master, for the honor of the princess, we must fight them to the death!" Someone shouted in the crowd. "Yes, fight to the death! Fight to the death! "For the honor of the princess!" The crowd boiled all at once.

"This palace's own honor, I will take it back!" A clear female voice sounded behind everyone. Purple smoke dressed in military uniform, standing under the portrait of the queen. "Queen Mother, back then, you were forced to die in this palace, today, my daughter wants you to watch, I will personally wash away your grievances many years ago!" Ziyan swore loudly at the portrait of her mother! (To be continued.) )
