Chapter 517: Before the Storm Rises

Qing Yan noticed that the person next to him trembled, and looked over with some concern.

"I'm fine, you be careful and watch the road carefully."

"Hmm."

"Sister should be careful, too."

After a long journey, I finally arrived at the place where I worshipped the heavens.

Along the way, Ye Jinxiao listened to the people next to him popularize a lot of things.

The ritual of worshipping the heavens has been handed down since the time of the founding emperor, and this position has never changed, it is all here.

It is said that the founding emperor had an epiphany again, and then he took over the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the birthplace of Tianqing Kingdom.

The most important thing is that there is a heavenly stone here, which can know the will of heaven and conform to the hearts of the people, and every emperor needs to come here every year.

What is visible is a huge stone, four people high, with smooth lines, and people can be clearly seen.

Ye Jinxiao looked at the two big words on it, Tianshi, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Qing Yan and Ye Jinxiao were inseparable from each other, and when they saw those two words, they couldn't help but sneer, their voices were a little loud, and Ye Jinxiao was so shocked that he immediately glared at him.

"Shut up, sister don't look at me anymore."

Everyone got to their place and stood still.

Ye Jinxiao's position was right on the outermost part of the crowd, facing the back of the Heavenly Stone.

There is a wall of people in front of you, and an abyss behind you.

Although there is still a distance from the abyss, it is enough to make people frightened.

Ye Jinxiao stood as close to the inside as possible, and Qingyan stood next to her.

Xiao Yanzhi's position was directly behind the emperor, and the two were separated by more than one person, and even Ye Jinxiao could hardly see him.

"Qingyan, I have a sense of foreboding."

"Sister, don't think too much, I've always been behind you."

Qing Yan looked at the abyss, and he was a little scared in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Everyone knelt down, and Ye Jinxiao felt that the place behind his mouth was getting closer.

There were some people on the outermost side who were even lower than her, but for some reason, they were arranged in a circle.

I was able to find many reasons, but I felt more and more panicked.

And they all knelt.

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes had always been on Ye Jinxiao's place, and after seeing her position so far away, his heart jumped.

Looking at Chaser who was kneeling on the side, "Go over and look at her." ”

"Yes."

An Guoyao was next to Xiao Yanzhi, so he naturally saw Cha Xing leaving, and then glanced at his henchman.

The henchman said that everything had been arranged.

According to the medicine they gave yesterday, Xiao Yanzhi should be uncomfortable now, and the symptoms of the whole person are corresponding: sweating, blushing, weakness.

However, there is not a single symptom here.

An Guoyao gritted his teeth, "Sure enough, I deceived him, slut!" ”

When the henchmen saw this scene, their faces turned dark, although it was said that this possibility was also fifty percent, but they really didn't think that Ye Jinxiao would choose a lover regardless of the lives of his family.

"My lord, everything is ready."

"Hmm."

Xiao Yanzhi didn't have a plan, he couldn't do anything with him, he could only wait until he returned to the capital.

However, this woman who betrayed him must pay for it.

An Guoyao's eyes were flushed with scarlet, and he looked very terrifying. Such an opportunity at your fingertips once again passed by me.

The henchman looked at An Guoyao angrily, thinking about what kind of life he had lived since An Yuan died, and he also made up his mind that he would definitely let Ye Jinxiao come and go.

Feeling the gaze sweeping from time to time in front of him, Ye Jinxiao subconsciously turned around and wanted to leave, but there could be no big movement at this time. Moreover, this place is only so big, even if you want to leave, you can't leave.

At the same time, "My lord, there are already people watching over there, and when the festival is over, there will be an accident." ”

"Hmm."

The process of sacrificing to heaven has been completed for more than half of the time, and now the emperor is still kneeling, holding a stick of incense in his hand, and the ceremonial official next to him is chanting, praying that God can bring happiness to the people of Tianqing Kingdom.

From morning to noon, it was far from over.

Ye Jinxiao never thought that this matter would be so boring, she was already unconscious on her knees.

Qing Yan next to him was not much better, and when he saw Ye Jinxiao looking over, he hurriedly came over.

He whispered, "Sister Ye, I have some pain in my knee right now." ”

"Bear with me for the time being, and we'll go back later."

"yes, okay."

Ye Jinxiao looked ahead with some worry, not knowing how Xiao Yanzhi solved this matter.

She didn't know who would win or lose in the game between the two of them, and whether they could have a good result.

However, she felt that she was only afraid that she was going to suffer this time.

It's just that no matter what the reason, she can't do anything to Xiao Yan, this is her only insistence.

"Up!"

Holding Qingyan's hand and slowly standing up, Ye Jinxiao wanted to bend down and rub his knees, but even bending over was a luxury.

Qing Yan also grinned and wanted to cry out in pain, but Ye Jinxiao covered his mouth.

"Don't make a noise."

"Uh-huh."

On the other side, the crown prince also stepped forward and put on a stick of incense, followed by the eighth prince, then Xiao Yanzhi and An Guoyao, step by step in order.

"Father, now that the sacrifice has been completed, you have been tired all morning, why don't you go back and rest first?"

Jun Zixiu still looks a little weak, but the momentum on his body has changed a little.

The emperor glanced at it, and it was rare that he didn't lose face, "I'm going back, you can handle the matter here." ”

"Yes."

The emperor sat in a sedan chair and drove down the mountain, and the rest of the people looked at the prince.

"Today's sacrifice to the heavens is not over yet, I need you to stay here here with the palace for a while, and then go down the mountain after these incense sticks are burned."

"Yes."

Only when this incense is burned peacefully, then it can be regarded as God hearing their sincerity, and it will definitely send blessings to protect Tianqing Kingdom in the future.

It has always been a practice, and everyone is not surprised, but it has always been the emperor himself who has worked before, and now it is handed over to the crown prince, which is really surprising.

As if he hadn't seen their gaze, the prince looked at the altar in front of him.

Ye Jinxiao shook his toes slightly, wanting to relieve the pain on his body.

It's not quiet here, only the sound of the wind blowing and the sound of breathing mixed in with it.

The people arranged by An Guoyao had already sneaked into the crowd, just waiting for an order to do it.

The soreness on Ye Jinxiao's feet not only did not ease, but became more and more painful.

She couldn't help but say in a breathless voice, "I don't know how long it will take, it's really a bit torturous." ”

"Why don't I take you and leave first?"

"You don't have to, just wait." I've survived for so long, and I don't care about this little meeting.

Moreover, such a big thing as worshipping the heavens can't be special.
