Worshipping the heavens and praying for rain is a very serious matter! Chongzhen didn't dare to play at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The idea has been decided, Chongzhen will pass the decree down, and no one in the central government such as the celebrant will dare to delay. The Jinyi guards are all dispatched to ensure the smooth progress of tomorrow's rain prayer ceremony.

Zhu Qing personally took command, the Vermilion Bird Gate thoroughly investigated the reactionary forces in the capital, the White Tiger Gate and the Xuanwu Gate were responsible for escorting along the way, and the Qinglongmen was responsible for the on-site security. Because of the rain prayer ceremony, all activities were temporarily put aside, including Li Zicheng's lieutenant general and their reward escort was also postponed for a day, for this reason, Zhu Qing asked Tiemianmen to be in charge of the security of the capital invasion army.

Zhu Qing had only one order, "Those who destroy the rain prayer ceremony will be killed!" ”

In addition to the awe of the gods, it is also because of the fact that on the day of the prayer for rain, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty participated, and the royal family was present. This is a security event, and although there have been such events in normal times, there are not many such activities in such a turbulent environment as the one now. The five major gates of the key capital, the White Tiger Gate, the Xuanwu Gate, and the Iron Mask Gate, are not in the capital, which weakens the security forces of Jinyiwei to a certain extent. But with a temporary decision, Zhu Qing had no choice. Fortunately, several old people in Jinyi, such as Killing Feng, Liu Qingfeng, Dongfang Bai, and Yan Shi Niang, are all at home.

"Qinglong, you go to Chengdong Village in person, and you are extremely safe to invite Mr. Luo to me, and you really have to rely on him to open the sky tomorrow!" Chongzhen ordered Zhu Qing to hand over the handwritten instructions to Zhu Qing to enter Chengdong Village.

"The last will obey." Zhu Qing took the command and immediately set off for Chengdong Village.

At this time, the dogs in Chengdong Village barked again one after another.

"Not good, there is a situation." The stationmaster Zhu Wusheng has a keen sense of smell and foresees danger before ordinary people. Hearing the dog barking, he led people to Hutong No. 36 in the north of the city, but Hutong No. 36 was very quiet, and he could even see the shadow of Chen Yuanyuan's embroidery from the outside. But just by looking at his eyes, Zhu Wusheng realized that the enemy's purpose did not seem to be Chen Yuanyuan!

"Striking the West?" Zhu Wusheng wondered. At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed at the entrance of the alley.

"Chase!" As soon as Zhu Wusheng gave an order, he led the team to chase over, this alley is facing Beicheng Mountain Road, and there is only one family on the mountain road, and that is Mr. Luo's thatched house!

"Not good! Mr. Lowe is in trouble! Zhu Wusheng shouted, then drew his knife and rushed forward, and sure enough, the figure quickly flashed into the hut, and the light that was still on suddenly went out!

"Mr. Luo?!" Zhu Wusheng had already rushed to the door and screamed. If something goes wrong with Mr. Luo, not only will the stationmaster not be guaranteed, but I'm afraid even the soldiers of the entire post station will be beheaded! Because Mr. Luo is not only the patron saint of Chengdong Village, but also a national treasure-level wizard recognized by Chongzhen!

"Stand back! Otherwise I'll kill him! "Sure enough, Mr. Luo was kidnapped by the assassins!

"Who are you?" Zhu Wusheng asked sharply, he was angry and afraid. This person dared to threaten him, and even threatened him with Mr. Luo!

"Mr. Luo, are you okay?" Zhu Wusheng asked Mr. Luo again, he needed to make sure that the assassin did not hurt Mr. Luo.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Luo smiled faintly, "Wusheng, you have been too worried these days, you have slept too deeply, and you don't even know that the wolf is coming!" ”

"Humph! The old guy will kill you with a knife again! Lao Tzu is that Damon! The assassin reported to himself, and after that, he stuck Mr. Luo's neck with one hand, pointed a knife at Zhu Wusheng and the others with the other and roared, "Give Lao Tzu a step down, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill him!" Although the assassin was angry, Zhu Wusheng could hear the fear in his anger!

"General Qinglong has arrived!" Suddenly, there was a shout from the station.

Of course, this shout was shouted by Zhu Qing asked the guards, he heard that something was wrong in the village as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, and he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up, so he came up with this trick.

Sure enough, when everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment!

A white blade descended from the sky, instantly knocking down the assassin who had kidnapped Mr. Luo. Before the Assassin knew where the enemy was coming from, he whimpered.

"The Qinglong escort is late, so Mr. is frightened!" Zhu Qing came out of the afternoon and stood in front of Mr. Luo with a slight smile.

Although Mr. Luo was frightened, after all, he had seen too many storms and waves, and now he was safe, so he breathed a deep sigh of relief, nodded casually and smiled, "It's the old decay that makes you frightened!" The old man was quite confident, he knew that these people had to protect themselves, and he was more worried about hanging up than he was.

"General, my subordinates are not doing well, please punish the general!" Zhu Wusheng pleaded forward.

Zhu Qing smiled indifferently, "Stationmaster Zhu doesn't have to blame himself, the assassins are prepared, and it is not easy for you to find out in time." As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, the guards told me that I told them to wait until I approached the hut to shout, just to attract the attention of the Assassin and to see if he had any accomplices. Now it seems that this is a lone wolf, you check it carefully, and I will send Mr. Luo back to the capital first. ”

"General Xie, my subordinates know what to do!" Zhu Wusheng and others hugged Zhu Qing.

"Mr. Luo, please." Zhu Qing stretched out his hand and said.

Mr. Luo nodded, "Okay, it looks like it's really going to rain this time." Mr. Luo looked up at the sky, stroked his beard and smiled, and followed Zhu Qing down the mountain.

In front of Hutong No. 36, Zhu Qing paused.

Mr. Luo smiled meaningfully, "The old man will take the lead, and the general will follow." ”

Zhu Qing nodded. When Mr. Luo walked away, Zhu Qing looked into the No. 36 alley, only to see a beautiful phantom dancing gently under the light, Chen Yuanyuan was practicing dance in the room, Chen Yuanyuan was born in the Qinglou, and practicing dance is her daily homework, which is an important skill for him to make a living.

The soft dancing posture made people think about it, and Zhu Qing couldn't help but push the courtyard door. But as soon as one foot stepped in, he suddenly remembered Ning Er, and looked at the emperor's edict in his hand, but he hesitated for a moment, and then retreated.

He shook his head and laughed at himself, and was about to close the door lightly when he accidentally touched the stake in front of the door.

"Bang dang" startled the people practicing dance in the house.

"Who?" Chen Yuanyuan whispered, opened the door and walked out, how could Zhu Qing let Chen Yuanyuan see him, and run away.

Chen Yuanyuan walked out of the courtyard gate and looked at the alley, and a back figure was disappearing outside the alley.

"It's so good to run, could it be that I heard it right, is it really him?" Chen Yuanyuan muttered, but if it was really Zhu Qing, why couldn't he bear to see each other when he arrived at the door? Chen Yuanyuan thought like this, but he was a little disappointed.

After Mr. Luo left, Zhu Wusheng began to deal with the assassin. The Assassin who called himself Nadamon did not have Nadamon's emblem!

"Not good! There are other rebels in the capital! Zhu Wusheng made a decision immediately.

This person is not Nadamon, and he knows Mr. Luo's whereabouts, and more importantly, he understands Mr. Luo's identity, presumably to take action on the rain prayer ceremony!

This is an important information, Zhu Wusheng did not dare to be careless, and after arranging the affairs of Chengdong Village, he rode to the capital overnight and chased Zhu Qing.

But Zhu Qing rode a wind-chasing horse, and set off in advance, even if he took Mr. Luo, but he did not slack off at all, and the wind-chasing horse galloped all the way, and rushed to the capital in a little time. Because Mr. Luo has to prepare for tomorrow's rain prayer ceremony overnight. As a Heaven Opening Mage, he must be foolproof, and he seems to know that this is an opportunity to make a name for himself, because none of the previous prayers for rain have been successful, although Chongzhen takes the responsibility on himself, but he always feels unwilling! This time, he saw hope.

"Knock knock", Bird Cat Villa, Li Zicheng's room suddenly remembered the knock on the door.

At this time, in Li Zicheng's room, Liu Zongmin and Huzi were also sitting around the table. Hearing the knock on the door, all three were taken aback.

"Who?" Li Zicheng asked from the inside.

"King Chuang, it's me, Suzaku." Suzaku answered outside the door.

"It's Suzaku-sama, it's so late, is there something wrong? I'm dressed and ready to rest. Li Zicheng responded.

As soon as Zhu Qing saw the door, he sneered, he naturally knew that Li Zicheng was lying, but she didn't want to expose Li Zicheng's lies. Then he called softly, "The emperor will pray for rain at the altar tomorrow morning, and since the army has taken refuge in the imperial court, the emperor invites you to participate in tomorrow's rain prayer ceremony." I'm here to deliver the post. ”

When Li Zicheng heard this, the three of them looked at each other and nodded, "Oh, it's the emperor's will, then you wait, I'll come." Li Zicheng opened the door while pretending to be sorting out his clothes.

"Here, this is the emperor's invitation." Suzaku said, trying to look into the back room.

Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng didn't look at the door, he took the invitation and smiled, "Thank you, Lord Suzaku, by the way, when will it start tomorrow?" ”

"Someone will come to pick you up early tomorrow morning. The mage was preparing for the ritual, presumably as soon as it dawned. Suzaku replied.

"What, the mage is already preparing?" Li Zicheng was taken aback.

Suzaku nodded, "What?" King Chuang looked surprised. ”

Li Zicheng immediately realized that he had behaved too much, and hurriedly smiled, "No, it's nothing, just care about praying for rain, this is a great thing." ”

"Okay, then King Chuang will rest early, and Suzaku won't bother." Suzaku said, and then clenched his fists and said goodbye.
