Sunrise is no stranger to Zhao Xinglan.

After countless sleepless nights of walking on thin ice and exhausting himself, he watched the sky go from pitch black to white with fish belly, and then to be dyed with warm light by the clouds, ushering in a piece of light.

At that time, he looked up at the sky.

For the first time, he greeted the sunrise in the sky. Surrounded by a sea of clouds, he was surrounded by ten thousand warm rays, and the sun seemed to be around him.

Look no further, the light is with him. This beautiful scenery seems to contain a beautiful meaning.

The corners of Zhao Xinglan's mouth were smiling, and the wind blew his hair, letting it flutter unrestrained.

The long-lost Zhao Imperial Palace was majestic and magnificent, like a golden lion bathed in the sun, jumping into Zhao Xinglan's eyes, he didn't have time to have mixed feelings, and suddenly heard Bolan next to him curious: "Hey, what is that doing?" ”

Only then did Zhao Xinglan realize that the square in front of the royal street was surrounded by water.

Surrounded by the people on three floors and three layers outside, there is a makeshift altar in which dozens of women in blue shirts stand.

Behind the woman, there was also a row of men dressed in gorgeous sacrificial costumes, the leader of which was an elegant face, but also noble, it was his father and six imperial brothers.

Zhao Xinglan said: "It seems to be a sacrifice, go and have a look." ”

After hearing this, the holy woman flew down with Zhao Xinglan.

"Woo woo, my poor daughter, you are dead, and I don't want to live anymore, old woman."

"Hey, auntie, you want to open something, if you don't do this, everyone will die."

"Yes, your daughter took the initiative to stand up, it is a good example, the heavenly family will compensate for it, and we will not forget this love ......"

"You say, is the method in the ancient books really reliable? In case it's still ......"

"Phew! If you can't speak, shut up, Jin Cheng goes, Jin Shi is open, God will definitely be able to see our sincerity! ”

……

The people gathered around the altar and made a lot of noise.

"Look at the heavens!"

I don't know who shouted, everyone heard the voice, and saw two figures faintly appearing in the distance.

It's closer, it's getting closer.

It was a man and a woman, the man's face was like a crown of jade, handsome and unparalleled, and the woman's ice muscles and jade bones were beautiful and beautiful, picturesque and dreamlike. The two of them were dressed in flying robes, flowing from the dust, falling from the sky like immortals.

The huge square was silent.

After a while, the people came back to their senses and shouted, "The gods have appeared!" ”

He fell to his knees.

Bolan and Zhao Xinglan glanced at each other, feeling that this scene was familiar.

"Brother Huang??"

"It's really the second emperor brother!!"

On the altar, the princes surrounded Zhao Xinglan, all of them with a look of surprise.

Emperor Zhao shook slightly, did not step forward, only looked at Zhao Xinglan quietly, with a complicated expression.

"The son visits his father." Zhao Xinglan walked towards Emperor Zhao.

"Lan'er, why are you back?" Seeing his son, Emperor Zhao was of course happy, but more worried and confused.

The second son was sent to Yan Guo as a proton, but at this moment, he suddenly returned to Zhao State, so it's no wonder that he doesn't worry.

"Yes, Second Emperor Brother, why did you come back?"

"Is Yan Guo going to be bad for you?"

"Brother Huang, are you okay?"

After being reminded by Emperor Zhao, the princes also felt that it was abnormal, and asked nonsense.

Bolan smiled, people's knee-jerk reactions are difficult to disguise, and the protons sent to other countries suddenly returned, and the first reaction of Emperor Zhao and the princes was to care, not to ask.

It seems that the royal family of Zhao is more humane than Yan, but why has Zhao declined year after year?

Bolan temporarily suppressed her doubts and said to Emperor Zhao: "Your Majesty, I brought him back." ”

Zhao Xinglan hurriedly introduced Bolan to Emperor Zhao and the imperial brothers, and when he learned that this was the Holy Maiden, the sound of inhalation came.

The saint's reputation for being able to resist the wind and descend fierce beasts has long been hyped up by Emperor Yan and Youxiang so that everyone in the Central Plains knows about it.

The girls on the stage knelt down one by one: "See the Second Highness, see the Holy Maiden." ”

"Second Highness is back? And also...... And the saints? ”

"Shhh Holy Maiden? ”

Recalling the scene where the two of them fell from the sky just now, what did everyone not believe? The people who had just gotten up in the audience instantly fell to their knees again.

Bolan and Zhao Xinglan: ......

If the two appear at the same time, it will always provoke the people to kneel and kneel, how to crack it?

Emperor Zhao and the princes did not doubt him, and they were busy giving gifts, and their worries about Zhao Xinglan's sudden return to China were much lighter.

After Bolan saw the salute one by one, Zhao Xinglan asked Emperor Zhao: "Father, what are you doing today?" ”

Emperor Zhao sighed: "I was about to pray for rain." ”

It is also strange to say, due to the topography, there is a major drought in Yanguo, and there is rarely waterlogging, but this year Ningxian County has rarely encountered flash floods.

In Zhao State, which has always been rainy, it is not strange to be surprised by waterlogging, and there is almost no drought. But now, Zhao has a great drought that has not been seen in a century.

The drought is flooded, and the flooded is drought. As the old saying goes, to be abnormal is to be a demon. I'm afraid that something big is going to happen in the world.

However, now is not the time to think about this, and the most urgent task is to solve the drought.

Zhao needs a rain, otherwise, the rice fields will dry up, the crops will die, the grain will not be harvested, and countless people will starve to death.

But for more than a month, after exhausting all means, God just won't be gracious.

In the end, there was really no way, Qin Tianjian suggested to Emperor Zhao that he could try to pray for rain.

It is recorded in an ancient book that at noon, forty-five women born at noon were thrown into the sea of fire to worship the sky, and after the women were turned into ashes, they might move the heavens and get a heavy rain.

"You mean, burn them alive?"

Bolan's voice cooled, and the goodwill she had accumulated was gone.

Emperor Zhao said helplessly: "All methods have been exhausted, if it weren't for that, more people would die." ”

"Holy Maiden...... I volunteered. ”

The corner of his clothes seemed to be gently pulled, and a timid voice sounded beside him.

Bolan saw a young girl who was about to be sacrificed to the sky, and met those innocent and kind eyes.

The girl continued: "Your Majesty originally refused, but after we heard about it, we took the initiative to sign up. If we can sacrifice to heaven in exchange for everyone's peace, we are all willing. ”

"Yes, we all volunteered." A group of girls echoed in unison.

Only then did Bolan realize that each of them had no ropes on them, and all of them were standing on the altar spontaneously.

This is really a plan that is not as good as a change, and Bolan immediately changed her mind.

On the way to Zhao State, she thought about how to help Zhao Xinglan sit on the throne. It is nothing more than to show Emperor Zhao the skills of resisting wind and thunder, and "asking" him to make Zhao Xinglan the crown prince.

In the face of divine power, she believed that Emperor Zhao would not disobey.

This method is simple, crude, and fast, but if you think about it carefully, it is suspected of being robbed.

Now that he happened to meet the sacrifice to the sky, Bolan has a way to make Zhao Xinglan's position as the crown prince become entrusted by the mandate of heaven, and it has become clear and straightforward.

This method can also test Emperor Zhao, the princes and Zhao Xinglan by the way.
