Chapter 072: Nacuo Tribe (7)
"The different color of the lake is really a sign of damage to the bloodline of the Nacuo tribe, and the culprit is the one who deceives the world and steals his name, pretending to be the divine power of the priest."
When all the believers knelt on the ground and bowed to the priest, the former maid, now the reincarnation of the priest, pointed to a bright red color in the lake, reminding those gathered around the small altar to kneel and worship.
Linglong raised her arms, then stared at the sacrificial platform on the other side and said, "O people of the Nacuo tribe, don't forget the roots, don't forget where we came from......
Soon the believers below also read along, and their voices became louder and louder. I hurriedly signaled Ye Liuyun and Sun Zheng to lead people to withdraw, after all, they couldn't keep up with this rhythm.
"Don't forget where we come from, don't forget the color of our sky and steppe, don't forget the clear waters, don't forget our faith."
After Linglong finished reading, the queen knelt on the ground with the little prince in her arms.
"O ancestor of the crescent, this is the only son of the twelfth chief, but after he was born, he was controlled by others and escaped from his mother's arms, and now he has been rescued by nobles, please have mercy on this lineage, so that he can grow into the eagle of the Nacuo tribe!"
The queen held up the little prince, and Linglong danced back and forth around the queen and the little prince, and the magic was that the little prince did not cry or make trouble, and watched everything around him with his eyes open.
"Because the blood is damaged, the lake is different color, the queen did not protect the royal bloodline, guilty, please have tears of remorse, repent to the ancestors."
Linglong said, taking out the porcelain bottle, it was obvious that the pill had already been placed inside.
"O ancestor of the Nacuo tribe, I hope you will accept my confession, and I hope you can punish the guilty."
As she spoke, the queen shed a few tears on the porcelain.
At this time, the eldest princess Wuya rushed in with her troops.
"The Queen? You dare to meet the little prince, can't you kill him? ”
The queen ignored the princess Uya and continued to weep over the bottle. The eldest princess is not a fool, and hurriedly rushed forward to grab the porcelain, I hurriedly signaled to Cuiyun, and Cuiyun immediately flicked a stone and hit the eldest princess Wuya's knee, she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
When Linglong saw this, she pretended to be frightened, and the bottle fell into the lake at once.
In a moment, a cyan water source appeared in the lake, slowly spreading towards the red area of the lake.
"Come on, protect the little prince."
The eldest princess roared, and several soldiers were about to rush forward, but I hurriedly blocked it.
"No, she is the queen and the mother of the little prince, and the priest has just said that it is precisely because you maliciously separated their mother and son that you will damage the little prince and the bloodline of the Nacuo tribe!"
"Nonsense, she is obviously the queen's maid, where did she come from?" The eldest princess Wu Ya sneered: "You are just the princess of Da Zhou, you dare to meddle here, I really think that this palace will not dare to kill you!" ”
I smiled coldly, "Wuya, you are too arrogant, this palace is the queen of the Crescent Moon Country, why can't you participate in the sacrificial activities of the Nacuo tribe." You say she's not a priest, so why don't you blow the horn? ”
The eldest princess, Uya, couldn't help but choke on me, and glanced back at the long horn, but still couldn't move. By this time, the believers kneeling on the ground were already talking a little.
"Could it be that the eldest princess is really deceiving us?"
"It shouldn't be."
"She's never blown a horn, yes, she didn't!"
I walked in front of everyone and pointed to the eldest princess Wuya and said: "This palace came to the Nacuo tribe on the order of the emperor of the Crescent Moon Country to send a congratulatory gift to the little prince, the leader of the Nacuo tribe, but Her Royal Highness the eldest princess actually obstructed it in every way, and I couldn't help but see the little prince can't see it, and the leader and queen can't see it in the palace. Hongu really couldn't stand it anymore, so he rescued it. Think about it, people of the tribe of Nacuo, how can this be the only son of your chief, and he can leave his mother at birth? ”
"It's nonsense, this palace has never fed the little prince with potions!"
"Really?" I smiled slightly, clapped my hands, Cuiyun walked up with a nurse, and after seeing the eldest princess Wuya, she pointed directly and scolded: "Demon, you are a demon!" ”
The eldest princess's face changed suddenly, "You, who are you, where did you come from?" ”
"This is the nurse you found for the little prince, she can prove that what Bengong said is true or false." I pulled the nurse and comforted her and said, don't be afraid, at this time the eldest princess Wu Yahan was happy to make a fatal mistake.
"Nonsense, the nurses have all been killed, where are the nurses!"
After saying this, the eldest princess Wuya immediately regretted it. When the believers on the side heard this, they couldn't help but make noise.
"You've finally admitted it." The queen slowly stood up from the ground, "Wuya, you killed all the nurses because An'er didn't eat other people's milk, and then fed him a potion, didn't you?" Why is your heart so vicious, he is the king's son, the future leader. ”
"You, don't talk nonsense, this palace feeds the little prince goat's milk, and has never been fed with potions. Come on, pull them down! The eldest princess used her military power again, but the believers stood up to stop her.
"Whoever stands in my way, kill!" The eldest princess, Uya, gave another wrong order. When this order was given, especially to signal that someone had been slashed, the other believers immediately lost their trust in her.
At this time, someone shouted not far away.
"Stop, the king's soldier talisman is in hand, and you must not harm the people of the Nacuo tribe!"
Yan Yuan appeared in front of everyone with the talisman in his hand, those soldiers naturally recognized the talisman, and the eldest princess wanted to give an order, but was hit in the throat by a flying stone from Cuiyun, and suddenly lost her voice.
At this time, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Look, the lake has turned blue!" ”
Everyone looked at the red line in the lake again, and it had faded at the moment.
"The ancestors have felt our repentance, O people of the Nacuo tribe, awaken!" Linglong called on the small sacrificial platform, and then pointed to the eldest princess Wuya and said: "This person is not a priest inheritance at all, on the one hand, he deceived the people of the Nacuo tribe, and on the other hand, he has attracted the warning of the ancestors, and he still does not repent, your sins can no longer be forgiven, and you must be punished with the strictest punishment." ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but marvel in my heart that this little maid was like a warrior at this moment. And even the eldest princess, who held the imperial power, was beaten down in front of the priests.
The eldest princess pressed her throat, looked at Linglong angrily, and asked hoarsely: "You, you demon girl, dare to pretend to be a priest, you are the one who will be punished the heaviest." ”
"Even now, you sinner still have to quibble!?" The queen stepped forward with the little prince in her arms, and shouted to the current believers, "O people of the Nacuo tribe, who else can blow the long horn except the priest inheritor?" Who else knows that prayer? Who else can restore the lake to its original state? Didn't you find out? Over the years, because of the eldest princess's troubles, the water of Nacuo Lake has rarely been cleared of the blue sky, and even the rain has decreased a lot. ”
The queen turned her head, pointed at the eldest princess Wuya and said angrily: "It's all this woman, who says the same thing in the palace, occupies the ruling power, and countless souls have died under her, and now the ancestors are already angry, we must punish her more severely today!" ”
As she spoke, the queen waved her hand and motioned to her younger brother Yan Yuan. "Tie up this vicious woman and drench in oil!"
"Yan, you dare!?" When the eldest princess Wu Ya saw Yan Yuan rushing up, she couldn't help but nervously dodge to the side and exclaimed. "Don't come here, this palace is the eldest princess of the Nacuo tribe and the master of sacrifice!"
"You are a demon girl who brings disaster to the country and the people!"
The queen scolded angrily, Yan Yuan led people to quickly tie up Wu Ya, and then there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and when I looked back, my heart was not good, and it was the general's chariot and horses chasing after me.
Seeing this, the eldest princess Wu Ya immediately shouted happily: "Car shop, car shop, save the palace!" ”
I motioned for Ji Li and Cui Yun to intercept them, and the two immediately bypassed the crowd. I turned to the queen and said, "Queen, I'll leave it to you!" ”
The queen nodded and bowed gently, "Be careful, mother." ”
I looked at the queen and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy. I followed Ji Li and Cuiyun to the outside of the crowd, waiting for the arrival of the car dealership.
"The queen of the Crescent Moon Kingdom is here, don't get off the horse quickly!" Ji Li shouted at the oncoming car dealer, but the car dealer didn't know if he didn't hear it, or if he was already ready to break the net, there was no sign of stopping at all, seeing that the horses were about to rush in front of me, Ji Li bowed down and said: "Niang Niang, be careful, leave it to me!" ”
Ji Li scurried suddenly, like a swift leopard, and suddenly rushed towards the carriage on horseback, but in the blink of an eye, I didn't even see what happened clearly, and the seemingly ferocious general cart flew out of the horse at once.
At this moment, Cui Yun was not idle, when two small soldiers rode close to me, Cui Yun quickly popped out the stones in her hand, and hit them accurately, and the two fell off their horses with a scream.
The car dealer crawled a few laps off the ground and rushed at me with a knife in hand.
"Mother, be careful!" Cui Yun stood in front of me, making a defensive posture, and at this moment a black shadow suddenly floated in, like a bolt of lightning, negligently, negligently crossed the danger, I just blinked my eyes slightly, and a person who vomited blood fell in front of me from the sky, and the black shadow turned around half a circle, smirking and dragging towards me.
"Brother Liuyun is still reliable!" Sun Zheng rode a black horse behind me proudly.
I pursed my lips, looked at the remaining scattered soldiers, and shouted loudly: "Why, in front of this palace, are you still obsessed?!" ”
Several soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly there was a scream behind me, and these soldiers also panicked.
I turned my head, and on the small altar, there was a burning flame, piercing and miserable. Du Ruo and Moss ran towards us from the small altar.
"Mother, it's scary, it's terrifying!"
Seeing that we were puzzled, Moss on the side explained: "The queen's so-called strictest punishment is to tie the eldest princess to a pillar with iron chains, pour tung oil on her body, and finally light a fire and burn her alive. ”
After hearing Moss's explanation, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back, and even Sun Zheng on the side couldn't help but tremble: "God, this is no different from the cannon burning punishment in the middle." ”
"It seems that this queen's methods are even more ruthless than this palace."
I looked at the flames burning indiscriminately not far away, and then at the Nacuo tribesmen who knelt on the ground and worshipped the queen and Linglong, and I couldn't help but feel a little ironic.
It is really a great irony that these people sent the eldest princess Wuya to the altar, and at the same time, they pulled her down from the altar, and numbly and cruelly executed this person who they once loved and admired, which is really a great irony.
When I was in a daze, Ji Li rode a horse to my approach, "Niangniang, Lu Li is here." ”
I turned around, and Lu Li just turned over and dismounted, and came to the front to salute me.
"Meet the mother, chief, let's go!"
I nodded and sighed: "Bengong guessed, in fact, from the time he sent you to protect the queen, and when the queen took out that talisman, Bengong guessed that Wusun should be ready for everything." ”
"Perhaps, this is the best place for Wusun." Ye Liuyun sighed rarely, he turned his head to look at me, and said lightly: "The left and right are in trouble, save one side, the free side, and redeem oneself." ”
He looked at me, and I looked at him, and for some reason there was a layer of sadness and guilt in my heart.
I turned my head to look at the flames that were not struggling, and sighed again, "Everything is for the best. ”
Things went much smoother than I expected, Linglong became the high priest, and nominally the little prince was the new king, but the actual power was already in the hands of the queen.
"The Nacuo tribe is just a tribe of the Crescent Nation, it was, is, and will be. Everything we do is under the orders of the Emperor of the Crescent Moon Kingdom. ”
The queen gave such a command in the presence of all the courtiers of the tribe of Nacuo. At the same time, she saluted me in front of all the courtiers. Even Linglong saluted me, and when those ministers saw me, they naturally bowed their heads to me.
I smiled and hugged the queen, and promised with a smile: "When I go back to this palace, I will let Your Majesty issue the title of prince, and send some grain, cattle and sheep over, which has solved the disaster of the great drought of the Nacuo tribe." Together, we are not afraid of attacks from other countries. ”
The queen nodded, saluted again and said gratefully: "Thank you Niangniang for your compassion, please pass it on to His Majesty the Emperor, the Nacuo tribe will always be a member of the Crescent Moon Country." ”
I took the queen by the hand, then took out the longevity lock in my bosom and handed it to the queen.
"This is a long-life lock specially made by His Majesty the Emperor, pure gold, I hope you and the little prince like it."
The queen took the longevity lock and held it in the palm of her hand very happily, "An'er must like it." ”
"By the way, Queen, that Lu Li is a good talent, you can keep it by your side."
"Well, I've already arranged for him to be a palace guard."
I can't help but be amazed that this queen's mind is turning so fast, and she can change her identity so quickly.
