Chapter 830: Snake Tide
Outside the water prison, Fat Da, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.
In the dimension that people can't see, the dots of light, like fireflies, gather from all directions, gather together, forming colorful streamers, these streamers in the air, entangled, like a long rainbow, the light is getting stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, the light fell straight down, enveloping Fatda in it.
Fat Da is like a dry sponge, absorbing all the streamers into his body.
The brilliance dissipated, and Fat Da lay down again, but at this time, its eyes were no longer the same.
……
What happened on Spirit Snake Mountain is unknown to the outside world. The Miao Village of Jiuxiang and Eighteen Docks still participated in the 'Ruozo Festival' according to the plan, and rushed to the Spirit Snake Mountain one after another. Especially after learning the news that the saint had given birth to a daughter, everyone stepped up their steps and wanted to hurry up and say hello to the saint. The people of Miao Village, their love for the saint is absolutely from the heart.
Wang Ou woke up, but she wasn't happy now.
She had just learned the news that the Tang army had crossed the river and set up camp by the river. Yesterday, the scouts of the Tang army clashed with the holy envoy she sent to pick up Li Mu, none of the people she sent returned, and the second group of people who went out to look for only found a corpse.
Then she received another message. This time, the Tang army crossed the river and came to the city, precisely because of Li Mu.
Li Mu has already released his words, asking the people of Miaojiang to completely surrender to the imperial court. rushed to the Tang military camp to bear the guilt of Jing pleading, if you dare to resist stubbornly, you will follow the old practice of Gaochang, kill people and slaughter the city, and leave no chickens and dogs.
Wang Ou had been to Gaochang and knew better than anyone what Li Mu was doing in Gaochang. At that time, she felt that something was wrong. It's just that it's inconvenient to show up, and there's no stake, so I didn't say it. Now that it is related to the people of Miaojiang, how can she not be in a hurry?
Although she is a Han Chinese, she is the saint of Miao Jiang, and the people of Miao Jiang are just like her people. On the one hand, the people, on the other hand, the lover, Wang Ou is caught in the middle, which is really a dilemma.
She also guessed that maybe this was a method used by Li Mu who was worried that she was unwilling to meet. But she quickly rejected the idea, if it was just to meet, she would have to refuse, and then there would be the next move, not like now, she didn't even communicate once, so she was aggressive.
But if not for this reason, what else could it be? Wang Ou thought of one, but she didn't want to believe it.
Perhaps, quite possibly. Li Mu was ordered to deal with Miao Jiang's affairs, and he came to see her by the way. If that's the case, Li Mu won't say that he came for her-
Thinking of this possibility, it is likely to be true. Wang Ou couldn't help but feel sad and wanted to cry.
Many women suffer from depression after giving birth, which can be mild or severe. Wang Ou's current state is a bit of this meaning. Emotions have affected her judgment of things, otherwise if she is awake, she will definitely see the strangeness on Spirit Snake Mountain.
Outside the cave, a holy envoy knelt at the entrance of the cave, trembling.
She is Wang Ou's confidant, and it is she who went to Zhenyu's house to ask for medicine instead of Wang Ou, and did some absolutely private things for Wang Ou, including Wang Ou's sorting out of poetry collections for Li Mu and secretly publishing them, all of which she handled.
No one would have thought that she would be Cui Yuzheng's person, and she was the eyeliner arranged by Cui Yuzheng next to Wang Ou.
It was she who told her the fake news that Cui Yuzheng wanted to reveal to Wang Ou. It was precisely because she said it that Wang Ou was convinced.
“…… Well done," after listening to the report, Cui Yuzheng did not hesitate to praise it, and said: "This time, I will reunite your family, you can rest assured, your parents are doing well now." A few days ago, the sect leader also invited a gentleman to teach your younger brother to read and write, and when he grows up, he may be able to take the Jinshi exam. ”
"The slave doesn't dare to have such an extravagant hope, I just hope that the sect leader will be kind and reunite our family."
"If you do a good job, this sect leader will naturally be rewarded. You can rest assured that the master of this sect has always been a man of his word. Cui Yuzheng was reluctant to talk more about these inconsequential things, and continued: "After the news spreads, there will definitely be many village owners who want to see the holy woman. You just blocked everything on the grounds that the saint was not yet out of confinement and it was not suitable to meet outsiders. Let them come to me, understand? ”
"The slave understands."
"Stand down." Cui Yuzheng waved his hand, and the holy envoy retreated.
The cave was dim, but Cui Yuzheng didn't seem to be affected by anything, picked up the wine jug and poured the wine, and not a drop could be spilled outside. This wine is bright red as blood and looks a little viscous, but Cui Yuzheng enjoyed it very much when he drank it, and he didn't dare to spill even a drop, as if it was a jade liquid.
"Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. I don't know if this east wind can be negotiated-" The person Cui Yuzheng was talking to was Cui Yuyan, he played the package ticket, and the person disappeared, and there is no reply until now. Although Miaojiang has also harvested grain, with the current reserves, it can be maintained through the winter, and it is definitely not enough to fight a war. But considering that if there is a rebellion and a war, some people may die, and if there are more deaths, maybe they can do it, but this one dies more and dies less, and the degree is a bit difficult to grasp.
"Wait another three days, if there is no news, let's do it first!" Cui Yuzheng finally made a decision, he couldn't wait.
To lie, you can only lie for a while. Whether it is to deceive Wang Ou or to deceive the owners of all walks of life in Jiuxiang and Eighteen Docks, if they contact Tang Jian first and know that he is not dead, or that Li Mu is now in his hands, there will definitely be variables.
Variables may be out of his control, so the best thing for him to do now is to cut through the mess quickly.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly some strange voices sounded in his ears.
Hiss-hiss-
People who live in Spirit Snake Mountain are all too familiar with this kind of sound. This is the sound of a snake spitting out a letter, and of course Cui Yuzheng has heard it. He just wondered why he could hear it in his cave.
He put the cup down and followed the sound to the mouth of the cave. Immediately after, he was stupefied by the scene in front of him.
It's daytime, and there's no shelter outside, so where are so many snakes coming from?
Even if you pour out all the snakes in the holy pool, I'm afraid that's all there is to it!
Wait a minute!
Cui Yuzheng's eyes widened, and he thought of an extremely terrifying possibility, could it really be the snake riot in the holy pool! In the codex of the sect masters of the past dynasties, there is such a record, on average, every hundred years, there will be a snake tide, and when the snake tide comes, only the current sect leader urges the snake spirit to suppress it with a secret method, otherwise once the snake tide is formed, the casualties will be thousands.
This year, the holy pool has been in an unstable situation two or three times, otherwise Wang Ou would not have rushed back.
Could it be that the previous instability was the prelude to the snake tide?
Looking at the snakes all over the mountains, Cui Yuzheng was a little stunned, and suddenly, he saw a black and white shadow in the snake tide.
It's that stupid Pixiu again, why hasn't it been bitten to death yet!
