Xiangzhi and Lanzhi respectively took the steamed buns packed by the owner of the steamed bun shop, and blinked, "Yes, uncle, we didn't find a place to stay yesterday, so we stayed in the broken temple for one night, is there anything inappropriate?" ”

"Are you humans or ghosts?" The man looked at Xiangzhi and Lanzhi in a trembling manner.

"Why do you talk like that, why do you scold people when you are so good?" Xiangzhi said indignantly.

It's really strange for these individuals to close their doors early yesterday, and they almost starve all night, and now they have to say something cool.

"You guys are really amazing, all the people who lived in the temple before have all died inexplicably." The man exclaimed.

The people who lived in the ruined temple died inexplicably? This news still has to hurry up to tell the prince and the princess, fortunately, they will leave in a while, and they will not stay in that broken temple.

Thinking of this, Xiangzhi and Laneige each held two bags of steamed buns and walked in the direction of the broken temple.

Back at the ruined temple, Jiang Xiao and Ling Xiao had already set up a fire on the ground, and there was a pot on it, and the smell of hot rice porridge came out of it.

"Why do we still have a pot for Zhu rice porridge?" Xiangzhi wondered.

"Little girl, have you bought your buns back? Take it out for everyone, this porridge can also be eaten. Ling Xiao said lightly.

"Hey, Ling Xiao, I also have a name, okay, don't always call me a little girl, okay?" Xiangzhi puffed up.

Ling Xiao stood up, came to Xiangzhi and scratched his head, and laughed: "Then you are not a little girl, what is it?" You're not married yet. ”

"Damn Ling Xiao, see if I don't slap your mouth." After that, Xiangzhi chased Ling Xiao and started a chase in the broken temple.

Watching the two of them frolicking and playing, King Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, "Guess what, can Xiangzhi get her wish?" ”

Well? Get one's way? Immediately, Gu Yunxin understood what King Rui meant, and said with a smile: "Even if Xiangzhi doesn't know martial arts, Ling Xiao will let her, so later, you can see the scene of Xiangzhi teaching Ling Xiao a lesson." ”

The few guards around King Rui are very good, they are all good men who can be entrusted for life, Gu Yunxin hopes that the few girls around him can have a good home.

Lanzhi held the steaming bun and handed it to Jiang Xiao, Jiang Xiao scratched his head, "Hey, hey, thank you, Miss Laneige." ”

"You're welcome, let's eat the buns while they're hot." Laneige smiled shyly.

"It seems that the two girls beside you are destined to be inseparable from the Rui Wangfu." Seeing this, King Rui smiled and said.

Laneige has a gentle temperament, and Jiang Xiao, who has a stable temperament, is indeed very suitable, but the pair of Xiangzhi and Ling Xiao will be lively in the future.

"Master, I didn't expect the buns in this small place to taste really good." Hongxuan smiled lightly.

"yes, it's just that the people in this town are so weird." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

Hearing Gu Yunxin mention the people in the town, Xiangzhi stopped playing with Ling Xiao, and then stepped forward quickly, "Princess, just now the slave maid went to buy steamed buns with Lanzhi, and the people in the town still treat us as ghosts, saying that the people who have lived in this broken temple have not been able to live, and the people in this town are too vicious." ”

What the? All the people who lived in this ruined temple died? Gu Yunxin frowned slightly, she believed that the people here would not curse them for no reason, something must have happened here that would make them stay away from this broken temple.

At this moment, a suona sounded, Ling Xiao walked quickly to the door, and watched the people in the town carrying a sedan chair, and three animals passing by.

"Master, it seems that the wedding team just now is sacrificial, but I don't know if the sedan chair is a living person." Ling Xiao bowed.

"What? Sacrifice with a living person? How can there be such a custom? Gu Yunxin was surprised.

Although the customs and habits of various places are different, it is too careless to take the lives of the living seriously.

When King Rui heard Ling Xiao say this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, "Everyone is full, let's go over and have a look together in a while." ”

"Yes, lord." Everyone said respectfully.

Originally, they were already eating well, and they happened to encounter such a thing again, how could they sit idly by?

After King Rui and his entourage had packed up, they followed the team to the river, where the people of the town had just pulled out of the sedan chair a sturdy woman tied with a red rope.

"Let me go, I don't want to be drowned, please, my mother is still sick." The woman cried.

"Let go of you? For so many years, I have to send a bride to the river god every year, and this year it's your turn to go to your house, is it that if you don't go, you won't go? A middle-aged man dressed in brown embroidered with a five-blessing pattern said loudly.

"Mayor of the town, you are careless of human life, if you do this, are you not afraid of being punished by God?" The woman said angrily.

What the? To push a big living person into the river and drown, and marry the river god in the name of beauty? This is simply ridiculous.

"Stop, let go of that girl." Gu Yunxin said coldly.

Hearing this, the people in the wedding team turned around and looked over, "Who are you?" It's not your turn to take care of the affairs of our town. The middle-aged man said coldly.

"Why did you drown this woman, do you still have the law of the land in your eyes when you do this?" Ling Xiao took a step forward.

The mayor looked at the person in front of him, and his figure couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "This little brother, this is our custom here, we have to send a bride to the river god every year, so as to ensure that we have a good weather." ”

"Phew, what river god, I think you are just a careless person's life, let that girl go." Ling Xiao said coldly.

"You are all strangers, leave our town alone, go away." Some of the people in the wedding procession were not angry.

"What do you want?" Ling Xiao unsheathed the long sword in his hand, causing everyone to immediately shut their mouths. They don't want to die yet, not to mention that these people don't look easy to mess with.

"What about your officers here? Where is he? King Rui said coldly.

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man in an official uniform trotted in front of King Rui.

"Xiaguan Zhuo Weicai saw the princess and princess, the prince Wanfu, and the princess Jin'an."

This official is the county magistrate of the two nearby towns, and when Mo Feng found him, he was still sleeping with his concubine in his arms, and he was still in a daze when he was taken out of the bed.

When everyone heard his voice, they looked at King Rui and Gu Yunxin, the two people in front of them turned out to be the prince and the princess? It's no wonder that looking at them gives people a sense of majesty and inviolability.

"Why don't you kneel down quickly, see the prince and the princess!" Na Zhuo Weicai said coldly.

Only then did the people react, kneeling on the ground and asking for peace, King Rui pushed the wheelchair to the front of everyone, "Why do you want to kill people? ”

Hearing this, look at me, everyone, me

Look at you, no one knows how to answer this question, the person in front of him is the prince, if he says something wrong, he is likely to be killed.

How dare they, the people, provoke such a big man, not to mention, looking at the one in front of him, he is not good at his actions, and the princess on his side is the appearance of the country and the city, is it possible, he is the god of war of the Great Zhou, His Royal Highness King Rui?

"Back to the prince, this is the custom here, every year a young and beautiful woman is sent to the river, waiting for the river god to marry his bride, and this year it is the turn of this town." Zhuo Weicai said respectfully.

"You mean, the river god marries?" King Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, so that he could take a moment's time.

"Yes, yes, yes, the prince is wise." Zhuo Weicai said with a smile.

"What if you don't give it?" King Rui continued.

"Then the river will overflow, and both towns will suffer."

"Master, the concubine doesn't believe that there is a river god in the world to marry, this is a matter of grass and human life, if the river is high, you should build a dam." Gu Yunxin said softly.

"What the princess said is right, this king has been marching and fighting for so many years, and he has never heard of any river gods marrying relatives, but he is just making an excuse for his incompetence." Rui Wang said coldly.

Zhuo Weicai knelt on the ground and was very angry in his heart, this prince humiliated him in public like this, he was also a county magistrate, what's wrong with the prince, the prince can not take them seriously? It's just a good fate, and a good tire.

Although, Zhuo Weicai thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, after all, this prince is the emperor's most beloved son, and he is the protector of the hearts of the people of the Great Zhou.

"Lord Wang, the things in this world, I would rather believe it than not, after all, you have never seen the tragic situation of the river god's anger, how many times have we built the embankment of the Heixing River, it is useless, only the young and beautiful woman is dedicated to the river god, and there will be no river surge this year." Zhuo Weicai said lightly.

Hearing this, King Rui frowned slightly, "Mo Feng, Mu Bai, you go check it out." ”

"Yes, lord."

Mo Feng and Mu Bai's light skills were good, and after about half a pillar of incense, Mo Feng and Mu Bai returned to the river.

"Back to the prince, my subordinates checked the vicinity and did build a dam, but as for why the river is rising, it is not clear." Mo Feng said respectfully.

Because of the relationship of time, Mo Feng and Mu Bai could only use light skills to inspect whether there was a river dam built here, as for whether the river dam was built up to the standard, then they didn't know, after all, they were not professionals.

"Lord Wang, look, this Weichen didn't lie to you, isn't it, this girl ......"

As long as King Rui agrees, this girl must be given to the river god, and, as long as there is the approval of the prince, let these people sacrifice the young girl in the future, and see who dares to object.

"Leave the people behind, this king will wait by the river tonight to see if he can have a good talk with the river god." Rui Wang said lightly.

What? Talk to the river god? They heard it right, this wise king wants to talk to the river god, if the river god is angry, what will happen to this wise king, then their heads must not be cut off by the emperor?

Hearing this, the mayor of the town and the county magistrate couldn't help but look at each other, what kind of medicine was bought in this Rui Wang's gourd?
