Chapter 21: Eavesdropping
"There are so few guests today." Xia Yan swung his calves boredly, held his cheeks with his hands, and sat there in a daze.
Zi Luo looked up, put away the things on the counter, and said, "It's just right, since there are few people, let's just go out and see if there are any good shops, plate them down, and open another Luoyan Pavilion." ”
Xia Yan's eyes lit up instantly, "You can go out to play, go, go, let's go." ”
After going out with the impatient Xia Yan, a few people looked left and right, and bought some gadgets from time to time. It's all about shopping.
There are a lot of people on the street, I don't know what day it is, everyone seems to be going in one direction, Xia Yan naturally refuses to let go of this opportunity to join in the fun, and drags Ziluo to run, what to do with Qingdie, Lan Ye and Yin Mingneng, they can only keep up.
The three of them squeezed around in the crowd, and finally, they found Ziluo and Xia Yan at the front. The group of five was reunited in this way. Lan Ye glanced up at the decorations and arrangements on the stage, and said, "You guys are so lucky, you just came to the sacrificial ceremony held on the fifth day of the Fengmian Kingdom. ”
"Sacrifice? I've heard of this, it is said that it was a perennial drought in the country of Fengmian before, and finally a sacrifice held a ceremony to get rain, but it could only keep the wind and rain smooth for five years, just like that, the country of Fengmian held a sacrifice ceremony every five years for generations, which is not only a nostalgia for the ancestors, but also a livelihood for the future. But I've heard it, and who knows what the real situation is. Qingdie looked at the magnificent decorations on the stage, and secretly spoke, "But this Fengmian country is really rich, and this decoration is afraid that it is pure gold, right?" It's so big, so much, and all the money is spent on sacrifices, so it's better to give a little more to the people. ”
At this time, she heard a few people next to her whispering something, vaguely related to this matter, so she quietly got closer, pricked up her ears and eavesdropped on her ears. I only heard her say: "... Our Fengmian country seems to be quite prosperous, but in the political court... Alas, this dispute in the court, let me tell you, do I know that young and old, what kind of prince is fighting for power, then it is not necessary to please us ordinary people first and coax us into obedience? Let me tell you, our king, there is very little real power in his hands, and all this power is in the hands of this high priest. ”
Ziluo heard it, and wondered in his heart, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the people to know about state disputes.
"How do you know so much?" The person who was talking to him asked strangely.
The man looked around, lowered his voice and said cautiously: "I have a nephew, he is the head of the Jinyi Guard, once he was injured when he went out on an errand, the emperor asked him to come back to recuperate, and then a Jinyi Wei came to visit him, I listened to him and the Jinyi Wei who came to talk about state affairs, and then I knew." You say that our emperor is also pitiful, alas. This high priest is also a true abomination. ”
"Who said no, it's okay, the high priest is here, don't say it, let him listen, we can't eat and go around."
There was already a lot of discussion around, and the whispers of the two people were only known to Ziluo, who knew martial arts, except for the two of them.
Hearing all this, it is false to say that you are not shocked, you know, it is said that the emperor of Fengmian Country is all kinds of vigorous and resolute, all kinds of good, who knows, it is...
"Are those people's words credible?" Qingdie was puzzled.
"Eighty percent. But this has nothing to do with us, this kind of thing, it's better to cause less trouble. Zi Luo pondered and spoke.
"Yes, look, High Priest." Qingdie didn't say anything, this kind of thing, if you can avoid it, a felony that can't be done well but wants to kill the head may be connected to the nine clans. People like them, who are still "little people", can't afford to mess with them.
