Chapter 838: Sheep Holding Ceremony

In the following trip, Xu Zizhen became more and more sure that his guess was correct, because from the attack just now to the outside of the city, he encountered several attacks in this short dozen miles of road, and each time the momentum was quite large, but he retreated in a hurry without getting anything.

But even so, no reinforcements came, and it was still their team of hundreds of people escorting the prisoner cart, and it seemed that the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom had absolute confidence in their dragon protection battalion.

Xu Zizhen sensed that something was wrong, but Liu Quan still didn't think so, and every time he was attacked, he didn't rush forward, just protected Zhao Huan's car next to him.

"Brother Liu, why don't you send some more people to us in such a mess, it's almost impossible to hold on." Xu Zizhen couldn't help but complain.

Liu Quan sneered and said: "Brother Sanshun, don't panic, these people are not on the stage, those masters in the secret disdain to appear, you look at it, if they really have powerful characters, naturally someone will clean them up." ā€

Xu Zizhen was not surprised, Liu Quan also saw that the other party had the intention of temptation, maybe the real big action was still to come, but he didn't think so, just now the temptation was a temptation, but the situation was still a bit dangerous, at least the convoy guards had lost more than a dozen people in several impacts, and even two people in the dragon guard camp accidentally hung up the lottery, and at the same time that he and Liu Quan were complaining, someone was discussing this matter in front of the Taizu Temple.

"Lord Heru, I heard that there have been five carjackings in the city, but you, the privy envoy, are sitting down, why don't you send some more men, so that you are not afraid of some accidents?"

The person who said this was a middle-aged man with a smile on his face, and it was Xu Zizhen who sat next to him who had seen the target of the assassination, the privy envoy of the Jin State, Wan Yan Heru.

Heru said: "The clown who jumped off the beam is just here to disturb people's eyes and ears, what should he do, don't you know who has this thought?" ā€

He smiled and didn't speak again, but the two teenagers standing behind him had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

……

After walking for a while after leaving the city, the Taizu Temple finally arrived.

Wave after wave of robbers made him exhausted, making him curse in his heart, this toss is not Jin Ren but himself, if he is accidentally injured, how can he find someone to save people? What a cheat.

The outside of the Taizu Temple was already covered with Jin troops, with bright armor and bright swords and guns, and Xu Zizhen also breathed a long sigh of relief, but the responsibility of the dragon protection battalion was that he still had to continue to follow the car.

The convoy was put in, Xu Zizhen secretly raised his eyes and looked around, he had to be careful, this is the nest of the Jin Kingdom, and today the entire upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom are there, many of them have seen him, the ceremony of worshiping the heavens and ancestors in front of the Taizu Temple has obviously been completed, a high platform has been set up in front of the temple, and a group of officials of the Jin Kingdom have already sat on it, and in the center is a Huangluo umbrella cover, and below is the emperor of the Jin Kingdom wearing a dragon robe.

Xu Zizhen's eyes condensed slightly, it was the first time he had seen the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, that is, Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng, whose Jurchen name was Wu Qimai.

Wu Qimai is not tall, and even looks a little thin, but his eyes are majestic and imposing, Xu Zizhen has no good impression of this emperor, because the large-scale southern invasion of the Jin State was carried out under his planned command, and in addition, Zhao Yan was captured by him.

Xu Zizhen walked slowly forward with the prisoner car, his mind was spinning, until now he hadn't come up with a good way to rescue Zhao Yan, not even to see her......

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Zizhen's eyes suddenly froze, and he looked at the high platform in disbelief, only to see a woman in costume brought to the stage under the escort of two golden soldiers, and then sat next to Wu Qimai, and the woman in costume was none other than Zhao Yan, who Xu Zizhen wanted to rescue.

I haven't seen her for many days, Zhao Yan has lost a lot of weight, her expression is also extremely haggard, her eyes are no longer as smart as before, but have become a little sluggish, she will go wherever the two golden soldiers take her, she will go, there is no resistance or unwillingness at all, even sitting next to Wu Qimai There is no reaction at all, it seems that she already knows what will happen today, and she has completely accepted her fate.

"Ahem...... cough woke Xu Zizhen up with a light cough, and Liu Quan said in a low voice, "Brother Sanshun, be careful of your step." ā€

Xu Zizhen came back to his senses and said with a forced smile: "That's the queen, right?" I've never seen such a Peugeot when I'm so big. ā€

Liu Quan smiled in response, but didn't speak again, but it seemed that he also recognized Xu Zizhen's reason for being in a daze just now.

Xu Zizhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Liu Quan reminded him that he was almost exposed, and at this time, the convoy also stopped.

The convoy stopped for the next ceremony, which was the highlight of the day, the sacrifice of the prisoners.

The Jin people's captive sacrifice ceremony is very characteristic of their national characteristics, which is called the sheep ceremony, that is, the captive's shirt is stripped off, and they are bare-chested and barefoot, with only a sheepskin on their body and led by others, which is a great insult to the captive.

Zhao Ji Zhao Huan and all the royal family and officials were driven out of the car like cattle, Jin Bing rudely stripped them of their clothes, put straw ropes around their necks, and dragged them to the high platform like cattle, Zhao Ji Zhao Huan did not resist at all, only hung his head and was at the mercy of Jin Bing, and all the officials behind him were like this, even Qin Hui, who Xu Zizhen had glanced at, did not react, but his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhao Last's expression on the high platform did not change at all, just looking at all this blankly, as if it was not his father and brother who were being dragged in the audience but really a group of sheep, Xu Zizhen's heart ached, he could understand Zhao Last's mood, when she was given to Jin Ren by her father and brother in the form of gifts and peace, her heart was completely dead.

Wu Qimai sat on the tall and spacious dragon chair, one arm supporting his chin, and watched with interest, while a group of Jin officials also laughed and talked in a low voice, and looked at the Song emperors and officials walking on the stage with contempt from time to time.

Xu Zizhen came from the next generation, and he was not interested in these two emperors, so he didn't react much, but he didn't know that there were several pairs of eyes on the top of a certain hall in the distance looking at this side with anger.

"Bastard, I'm going to kill these golden dogs!"

"Miss Lin, don't worry, it's not the right time yet."

"How long do you have to wait? Grandma can't wait! ā€

"It's almost there, Ma San is already ...... Hey? What's the fire over there? ā€

"Ah, it's really on fire, is there anyone else who comes to save our official family?"

Not only did Wang Zhongfu and Lin Chaoying, who were lurking in the shadows here, see it, but almost everyone in front of the Taizu Temple saw it, and there was billowing smoke in a forest not far behind the temple.

The smoke caused a commotion in front of the Taimiao, Wu Qimai didn't react much, he didn't even move his eyelids, it seemed that this fire was within his expectations, and the other people's faces were not so good-looking, the minister of state Sagai coughed lightly and shouted: "Come on, protect the outside of the temple." ā€
