138 The first day of being a princess
In the evening of the same day, Shadu again ushered in an air raid. When the bomb exploded, the entire dungeon shook violently. Led by the gray-robed soldiers, the men, women, and children of Shadu were taken in an orderly manner to the most fortified palace where it was built.
Xi Luo stood beside the king of Du, watching the panicked crowd flee in one after another, gradually forming a spectacular scene of thousands of people in the same room. The old woman stopped and immediately put her hands on her chest and began to read the prayer in her mouth, and many young women could not help wiping tears from their eyes, while young children hid in the arms of their loved ones, their childish faces stained with sorrow.
Because of the small number of inhabitants in Shadu, almost all of the men have been trained in militarization. At this time, they all changed into body armor, protected the women and children in the center, and were ready to charge at any time.
At this time, silence is better than sound, a sense of tragedy permeates everyone's chest, no one knows if this will be their last time alive, if there is a future, this moment will undoubtedly be remembered for the rest of their lives.
King Du looked back at Xi Luo and asked in a low voice, "Are you ready?" ”
Xi Luo relieved himself and nodded.
The king walked to a high place, turned on the speaker, and said in a clear voice: "Every citizen of Shadu, may my god bless you well." ”
"I can understand the panic that everyone is feeling, and in the same way, this is a critical moment for the survival of our entire Saudi capital, and I would like to announce three things to you."
"First things first. Before his death, our old prophet left us a prophecy in which he mentioned that such a catastrophe would inevitably occur in Shadu, and the prophecy was written like this......"
Xi Luo stood very close to the king of the capital, and his clenched palms were already sweating.
The Shadu people believe in God and follow the prophecy as the destiny of heaven.
King Du and Xi Luo maintained a tacit understanding on this matter, and planned to tell a lie, changing 'princess and relatives' to 'princess can lead everyone out of the disaster'.
To tell the truth, even if Xi Luo has a way to turn sand into growable soil, he has no confidence to say that he will be able to bring sand out of the predicament completely.
What Xi Luo is facing is probably a situation where the fate of the country is all pressed on one person.
Did my grandfather feel this way when he drove the 'Long River' in search of a new home for mankind in the universe? In the eyes of Xi Luo in the past, his grandfather's time was more than ten years, just an opportunity and a big adventure for him, but what his grandfather was most worried about at that time should be the billions of ordinary people behind him who were waiting for his news day and night.
When the people of Shadu heard the mention of 'princess', they couldn't calm down.
Princess!
Isn't the princess dead!
Then they are not hopeless!
"Please be quiet, the second thing I want to say is that our princess has finally been recovered thanks to our tireless efforts." King Du raised his voice to drown out the noise below, "The third thing, Princess Shadu has brought us a magic potion that can turn sand into soil, even if we have been trapped underground, there is no need to worry that desertification will continue to develop here!" ”
"According to the prophecy, in the coming days, I will rule with the princess, and now I invite the princess to come to the stage and speak a few words for us."
For a large-scale handover ceremony like this, no matter how hasty it is, the costumes will definitely be exquisite. But it was definitely too late for Xi Luo to make temporary preparations, but fortunately, she was similar to Lan Xidi's figure, so the king of Du found someone to bring the golden dress that Lan Xidi had disliked countless times, and was full of rare treasures.
This dress was originally specially customized for the princess, and Xi Luo's dress was properly worn, which also dispelled many people's suspicions.
When Xi Luo walked on the high platform in a long skirt, everyone's eyes involuntarily converged on her. If it was Lanhety who came up today, perhaps most people would only have this shiny golden dress in their eyes.
At this moment, there was only one thought left in the hearts of all Shadu people, this one may be born for gold, descended by the gods, and looked up to by everyone.
"Hello, my name is ...... Lan Xiti is the princess of Shadu...... "Xi Luo didn't use her name, no matter where Lan Xidi is, as long as someone is willing to remember her, it's good," I only have one request, unless the soldier's mission is necessary, no one can leave Shadu, no one can contact the outside world without authorization, and those who violate the order will be killed. ”
These words are like a bomb, shattering the minds of countless people, even the most dictatorial king cannot make such a decision, this is simply house arrest in disguise! The people below became agitated, and even the eyes of the king became complicated, as if he felt that Xi Luo's order was a little too hasty.
"I know what you think, you feel that the sand is the center of the war, and that if you get out of here, or let your children get out of here, they will survive. I'm sorry, but I have to put an end to the possibility of anyone spreading the truth about the sand, so no one can leave, and this is also a responsibility to everyone. I also promise you that as long as you are united, you can all survive here. Xi Luo is not in a hurry, and plans to slowly uncover the cruel nature of this war next.
"Why didn't you get married in the first place! If you go to get married, how can there be so many troubles, there will be no war at all, no death! Each of us can live well! The woman in the audience didn't even care about cursing, "What princess, I think you are the devil and Satan who climbed up from hell, and the scourge that specially brings evil!" ”
Xi Luo looked at her coldly, just waiting for her to finish scolding, and she wouldn't scold her, which is the same as a dog biting you, do you want to bite back.
King Du was worried that Xi Luo would not be able to control the scene, so he took the lead: "I have explained it all, it is said in the prophecy that if it does not rain, the princess will not marry." If you say so, you will break the prophecy and kill the rest of us. ”
"Since you think I can crawl out of hell, why aren't you worried about me pulling you down?" Xi Luo's words were said like a joke, but at the same time, he used his mental power to construct the most thrilling clips in the global horror movies collected by Fat Ball, and strongly infiltrated the woman's consciousness.
The woman stepped back suddenly, completely cold, and tried to wipe the sweat on her head with her sleeve, but it was all blood: "No, it's all blood, get out!" ”
The soldier on his side couldn't see it, and directly knocked the person unconscious and brought him to the side.
Xi Luo wasn't looking at the woman, her current mental power was very weak, at most she would have nightmares for a few more days: "Shadu is located in the center of the desert, and it is an easy place to defend. Now that the outside world has a far higher casualty rate than you know, there are wars everywhere, even if you are allowed to go out, as outsiders, you will be excluded from even fleeing for your life, it is better to stay in peace. ”
"Now five countries have joined the melee, country A and country B are fighting together, country C and country D are allied to secretly attack country A, country B is watching the show and reaping the profits, country F is like a mob, and the other four countries are all fighting. Do you think this way of playing like child's play, or are they really just a bunch of idiots? ”
……
When Xi Luo finished analyzing the situation, the voices of questioning below instantly decreased. Xi Luo has set several instructions at present, which can be explained in both sense and reason, coupled with the identity of the princess and the blessing of the prophecy, the people below have also acquiesced to it.
At this time, the air raid was almost over, and the soldiers immediately stepped forward to evacuate the gathered crowd. In about half an hour, the crowded palace was empty again.
"You're a natural leader." King Du sighed slightly, only hoping that he did not make a mistake this time.
At present, only a few people know the full content of the prophecy, the mother of Lanhiti who is unknown, the dead Lanhiti, and the outsider who became king halfway......
After all, he is not a native of Shadu, so he has not been completely brainwashed by this belief, and he does not feel a pain in conscience when he talks nonsense.
"It's time to take me to see Lanhiti, right?"
"Let's go."
