Chapter 371: Hurry up and go back
Gu Huai'an saw Liu Yue's panicked face, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Why is Lord Liu flustered?" We won't be so nervous, we didn't have any other task this time, that is, to come and inspect on the order of the emperor to see how you dealt with this drought. ”
"The Emperor...... Did the emperor already know about the drought? ”
"What Lord Liu said is a bit interesting, didn't you report the disaster in Zhenzhou to the emperor?" Gu Huai'an looked at this Liu Yue's various performances, and felt more and more that there must be something wrong with this person.
"Oh, yes, yes, it's a report from a subordinate, I didn't expect the emperor to send an adult so soon......"
"It's not just the two emperors who sent someone to send disaster relief money, we will go first, and the disaster relief money will arrive later." Gu Huai'an also kept watching the reaction of the person opposite while he was speaking, hoping to get a little more of his loopholes.
"Thank you two for your hard work."
Shen Qianshan looked at Liu Yue, the last time he saw him, he was not like this, and it looked really strange, "But Lord Liu, we seem to have heard some rumors on the way here, I heard that Lord Liu's method of dealing with the drought this time is very special, what kind of heavenly master was invited to ask for heavy rain, so the drought was alleviated, I don't know if the news we heard is true or false?" ”
Shen Qianshan didn't forget, he must knock on the side, when he dealt with this Liu Yue before, he thought he was a righteous gentleman, but he was not at all, but a county official who was ignorant and ignorant inside, and only knew how to pray to God and worship Buddha, even such a person can be an official, it is really ridiculous to say.
Liu Yue's face also showed embarrassment, "The two adults don't know, and Xiaguan didn't believe in those so-called Heavenly Masters, but this time, the drought has been too long, and Xiaguan really has no other way, so he invited this Heavenly Master, but this angel really has great magical powers, he has only been here for a day, and he has asked for a heavy rain for Zhenzhou City and several surrounding towns, and the nearby drought has been alleviated, so we trust him so much." ”
Liu Yue was anxious to explain to the two of them, but the explanation was indeed full of loopholes, and Shen Qianshan also felt funny after hearing it, "Lord Liu, you don't have to worry first, Lord Gu and I don't want to complain about you, it's just that we stay in Kyoto all the year round, and it's rare to see such a god, but we also want to meet this Heavenly Master, since this Heavenly Master has great magical powers, we should naturally treat him well, no matter what we do, as long as we can solve the urgent needs of the people, it is a good thing." ”
Shen Qianshan really wants to see what this charlatan looks like?
After Liu Yue heard Shen Qianshan's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that these two ministers who came to provide disaster relief also believed in the words of these ghosts and gods, otherwise, what he was doing now would probably have caused the anger of the two of them.
"Lord Liu's appearance, is there something inconvenient about this Heavenly Master? If it's not convenient for him, the two of us can visit him. Gu Huai'an saw that Liu Yue didn't speak, and hurriedly asked him.
Liu Yue raised his head and smiled at Gu Huai'an, "But it's not inconvenient, it's just that the two of them can't accept such a thing, when this Heavenly Master asks for rain, he uses a living ......."
"What's wrong with that? When the royal sacrifices are made, they are all made of living animals. Gu Huai'an forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, put on a smiling face, and continued to ask Liu Yue.
When Liu Yue talked about this place, he also felt a little empty-hearted, after all, this kind of thing of using living people as sacrifices was unheard of before this Heavenly Master came to Zhenzhou City, and he was also frightened when he saw that Heavenly Master using living people as sacrifices for the first time.
But it was because after the prisoner died, Zhenzhou City did usher in a heavy rain, and it rained for two or three days in a row, which made me have to believe that this Heavenly Master could really save Zhenzhou.
"We already knew this when we came, and the two of us didn't have any other meaning, we just wanted to meet this Heavenly Master, and we also hoped that at dinner, the adults could invite the Heavenly Master here, and we had something we wanted to ask about this Heavenly Master."
In any case, Gu Huai'an and Shen Qianshan both hoped to be able to meet this so-called Heavenly Master first, that day next to the altar, Shen Qianshan only saw it from a distance, plus that person was wearing a mask, he didn't see his true face at all, at least he had to know what the origin of this person was.
With such an ability to deceive people, it must not be a simple character.
Liu Yue's face looked a little uneasy, but in the end he nodded, "Then let's do it, the two adults wait for a while, and when it's time for dinner, I will send someone to invite the Heavenly Master over." ”
Huang Hao felt bored staying outside the city, there had been a drought near Zhenzhou for so long, and there was not even a wild thing in this wood, which really made him feel bored, so he raised his hand at will and used darts to set up birds in the sky, but he didn't expect to hit a very fat pigeon casually.
Huang Hao plucked the hair on the pigeon's body, and was about to put it on and roast it on the fire, but he happened to be seen by the sharp-eyed chasing clouds.
"General Huang is slow!"
Chasing Yun recognized it at a glance, this is Gu Su Liang's flying pigeon, he just didn't notice it for a while, and it has already become General Huang's appetizer, although this pigeon is not worth much, Gu Su Liang also has a lot of around him, but Gongzi should not just let the pigeon come over and give them a snack.
Huang Hao saw Chasing Yun, and beckoned him to come over and eat with him, Chasing Cloud was quick and took down the letter tied to the pigeon's feet, "I won't eat it if I eat, General Huang ......uses it slowly."
This pigeon was also unlucky, and was hit by Huang Hao.
Chasing clouds doesn't know what happened? However, he still dragged Gu Yan, who was distracted on the side, over.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is something wrong? So anxious! Gu Yan was looking at the sky in a daze, Shen Qianshan and Gu Huai'an had already been gone for most of the day, and they didn't know what the current situation was, after seeing such a scene, they would naturally worry about the safety of the two of them, and just thinking about it, Chasing Yun directly dragged himself under the tree.
"This is a letter from the master just now, before I left Kyoto, the master once told me, if there is nothing important, well, don't use the flying pigeon to pass the book to contact, but just now I saw this on the foot of the pigeon that General Huang was about to roast."
Chaiyun handed the letter to Gu Yan, and Chaiyun believed that if his master didn't have anything important, he would never use such a risky method to deliver the letter, and now it seems that something important must have happened in Kyoto.
As soon as Gu Yan saw Chaiyun's expression, she also realized that something might be wrong, and quickly opened the letter in her hand, and sure enough, something really happened in Kyoto.
Gu Su Liang briefly said in the letter, the fire in Lingyin Pavilion, naturally Shen Zhongbai began to doubt their identity, and more seriously, now that Gu Yan is not in the imperial city, Shen Zhongbai no longer knows how many times he has sent people, either choosing Gu Su Ran to enter the palace, or sending Shen Siyin to visit.
Gu Su Liang has been using the excuse that Gu Su Ran is sick for many days, although Shen Zhongbai did not come to announce it again, but Xiaoyao Lou seems to have surrounded a lot of people recently, Gu Su Liang is afraid that he will not be able to persevere, so he will write a letter, wanting the two of them to come back as soon as possible.
Gu Suliang was afraid that Gu Linjiang would be unfavorable to Gu Chang, but he didn't expect that Gu Chang, who was not in Beijing now, would become the biggest hidden danger.
After Gu Yan read Gu Su Liang's letter, her heart also sank, it seems that she can't go back now, after all, she can't affect Gu Su Liang because of her own affairs.
Seeing that Gu Yan was a little hesitant, Chaiyun was also anxious, "What are you still thinking about?" There is such a big thing happening in the capital, we should go back now, otherwise, the master may not be able to hold on alone. ”
Chasing Yun didn't know that Feng Yao was Shen Qianshan's matter, so he couldn't understand what Gu Yan was hesitating about now.
Gu Yan put down the letter, "Let's go, we'll go back now, we can't delay it any longer." ”
Gu Yan still has the token left by Shen Qianshan on his body, as long as he has this token, he can control the secret guards in Yuhualou to protect Gu Su Liang, lest Gu Su Liang really have any accidents, and the two of them will not have time to save him.
Chasing Yun and Gu Yan didn't think that the two of them had only left Kyoto for such a short time, and such a big thing had happened, after Gu Su Liang had a fire in Lingyin Pavilion, I am afraid that he would have encountered a lot of trouble, after all, he now has only one person to deal with Gu Linjiang and Shen Zhongbai at the same time, and even have to guard against Shen Siyin everywhere, it is really too difficult, it seems that the things that Gu Su Liang has to face now are definitely not simpler than what he sees now.
Shen Qianshan didn't really know what to do next, but there was one thing, he and Gu Huai'an both understood in their hearts that this Heavenly Master was definitely not a person who could really talk to ghosts and gods, but just a person who could understand celestial phenomena, so he could guess when it would rain in this place.
As long as he takes advantage of the two days before the rain, seizes the opportunity to appear in Zhenzhou City, and then pretends to do a ritual, he will definitely be able to make the people of the whole city believe in him, believing that he is really a god with great magical powers and great mana who can ask for rain.
