Plum Blossom Tribulation Chapter 41: The Ceremony of Sacrificing to the Sky The king was tricked
The ceremonies of the Imperial City are more delicious and the rituals are simpler than in previous years.
Today is a beautiful day, the newly enthroned emperor came to the Temple of Heaven with his ministers, and the entourage of royal guards is less than half of that of previous years.
The lama's ritual is mysterious, and no one understands the mantra in his mouth, everyone is respectful, Huang Chizhong and Ji Dan Qingfeng are also among them, but it just so happens that the three princes with foreign surnames did not come. It was inevitable that people would discuss it in private, but because of Ji Dan's Qingfeng presence, the rest of the ministers did not dare to discuss it in front of him, and they were silent when they met him.
The activities of the festival seemed to be going smoothly and had been carried out halfway, but the sky gradually became darker, Qingfeng looked at the sky and frowned slightly, but the rest of the people seemed to be a little surprised, after all, there had not been a single rain since the New Year.
The lama's ritual seemed to be very effective, and only the sound of their mouths getting louder and louder, only a few rumbling sounds, and there were actually drops of rain, at first just a drop, and then it was a heavy rain, which can be described as a long drought and a rain.
The new emperor was naturally overjoyed, after all, this big activity that the courtiers and the people were concerned about could be effective immediately, and it was more or less popular with the people, the new emperor immediately knelt down, and began to bow three times and bow nine times, and the rest of the people also worshipped.
But just as the emperor got up, suddenly an arrow swooped out of the forest, pointing directly at the emperor, and General Huang had already drawn his sword and cut the arrow into two pieces.
In an instant, arrows rained down, mixed with rain, and struck densely.
"Escort! Formation! General Huang gave an order, and those royal guards were also well-trained, and they instantly picked up the shield and surrounded the new emperor with Qingfeng in the inner and outer three layers, and escorted the new emperor away together.
And those ministers didn't seem to expect this, and they hid behind the Temple of Heaven one after another.
A group of guards had already ordered them to leave in an orderly manner.
Perhaps the target of these people was just the emperor, and after a few rains of arrows, many guards could not resist it, and they fell down one after another, and dark red blood stains flowed up mixed with the rain.
"The arrow is poisonous, everyone be careful!" Qingfeng shouted loudly.
The rain of arrows withdrew, and suddenly a group of blacks broke out, all of them were well-trained and strong in martial arts, but at the same time, another group of blacks appeared, and the two sides entered a melee, and no one recognized anyone, but gave the new emperor a chance to escape.
Qingfeng took some guards to take the new emperor to the farewell pavilion to rest temporarily, the surrounding guards had already been on guard, the emperor at this time was frightened and panting, and an attendant who accompanied him hurriedly beat the shoulders for the new emperor, a thousand shots, the attendants will pull out the hairpin and stab the new emperor, a thousand shots, Qingfeng threw the folding fan out, knocked the attendant to the ground, even if the surrounding guards reacted, they quickly surrounded this person, and before they asked, the other party had vomited blood and died.
"Is the emperor alright?" Qingfeng asked.
"Damn it!" The leader of the guards hurriedly knelt down.
At this time, the other party had already hurried over, galloped to the new emperor and said, "Report! The assassins have been eliminated! ”
"That's good! Thanks to General Ji Dan! The new emperor looked at Ji Dan, his eyes flickered, but he seemed to be waiting for Qingfeng's arrangement.
"It's better for the emperor to go back to the palace first!" Breeze is recommended.
"It's good!" With that, he stood up, and the leader of the guard and the messenger stepped forward together, stabbing at the new emperor with daggers in hand.
"Be careful!" The breeze can block one, but it can't stop the second. The messenger was so close that he quickly succeeded, and only a loud laugh was heard: "It worked!" The other party vomited blood and died like the first person.
The people around were in a hurry, supporting the new emperor, and kneeling down and crying.
"Don't hurry up and help yourself to the carriage, hurry back to the palace!" Seeing this, Qingfeng hurriedly scolded.
At this time, Huang Chizhong also rushed over with all the guards, and when he saw this situation, he said: "This matter must not leak the news!" "Hurry up and rush back to Huangcheng with the breeze.

Ink City
Away from the palace
When the king woke up early, he saw that outside the house of the pear garden, Qianlu was instructing some of his subordinates to replant some pear trees.
"The hands and feet are sharp, the general attaches the most importance to these pear trees!" Qianlu commanded, and when he saw the king not far away, he hurriedly ran over to salute.
"Let them all be careful!" Leaving the king's command, Qianlu nodded hurriedly and said yes.
"Who destroyed the pear tree of the wind and wind, you know?" Liwang continued to ask.
"Qianlu doesn't know, Qianlu is stupid, and the real murderer hasn't been found!" Qianlu was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes and hurriedly replied.
"Useless stuff! In the future, if anyone dares to destroy the pear tree of the wind and wind, this king will definitely break his body into ten thousand pieces! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! The king is right! Qianlu nodded hurriedly, and obeyed.
King Rangli had to frown, looked around and said, "What about the wind?" Why don't you see him? Shouldn't you set off for the Imperial City today? ”
"I don't know!" Qianluo flickered, and said: "What is the matter with the prince going to the imperial city?" ”
"What's wrong with your brain?" Liwang looked at Qianling a little abnormal today, and Qianling at this time also walked over, Qianluo hurriedly made a look when he saw this, and when Liwang saw this, he turned around and saw that Qianling had turned around and wanted to leave.
"Qianling!" Liwang shouted.
Qian Ling had no choice but to come over and wait for the king's orders.
"Do you remember going to the Imperial City today?"
Qian Ling didn't answer and just shook his head, which made the king even more angry, and before he got angry, Qian Ling said: "Back to the prince, the imperial city is ......, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens has passed, and the prince doesn't remember?" ”
"What did you say?" Liwang was very surprised, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't believe his ears.
"Back to the prince, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens has passed!" Qianling's attitude was very resolute.
"Say it again!" Li Wang picked up Qianling's clothes and roared, seeing Qianling's resolute attitude, he immediately turned to Qianling and said, "What about Ji Dan Qingfeng?" Let him get out at once, and the king will see him. ”
"Back to the prince, the general is still in the imperial city, doesn't the prince remember? Isn't this all arranged by the prince! Qianlu hurriedly explained, trotting behind the king.
"Early that morning, the general and I went to the imperial city together, and the prince and Brother Ling were in the palace. Qianluo was still wondering at the time? Just thinking that the prince has been living in this pear garden, the general must be telling the truth, and he didn't think much about it! ”
"It's all presumptuous! A bunch of bastards! He walked into the house, sat down, slammed his hand on the table, and knocked over the bowl of tea on it.
The wound on his hand was oozing blood because of his strength again, and without waiting for Qianluo to remind, King Liwang suddenly remembered something when he looked at his hand, and hurriedly said: "Tell Mo to abandon that dead girl and get out to see this king!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qianlu nodded hurriedly, and trotted out with a puff of smoke.
Tranquility returned to the house, and Mo Qi walked in tremblingly.
Li Wang was not very angry, but looked at her with a smile.
"You get on your knees!" Although Liwang's tone was loud, there was still a smile on his face, which made Mo Qi feel even more terrifying.
"Tell me about it! How long did this king sleep? "The king walked around Mo Qi.
"Back to the prince, it seems to be only two or three days." Mo Qi replied cautiously in a low voice.
"Just two or three days? So...... Two...... Three...... Sky! Liwang squatted down and patted Mo Qi's shoulder, smiling even more terrifyingly.
"This king has slept so soundly these days, is it thanks to you?" Liwang grabbed Mo Qi's shoulder, and Mo Qi hurt when he grabbed it, but he didn't dare to scream or hide. "Didn't the breeze tell you to do it, you are so bold!" As he spoke, he got up and knocked over the things around him.
"It's not!" Mo Qi replied cautiously.
"It's all bastards! You're still speaking for him! This made King Liwang even more annoyed, and the paintings on the wall, the porcelain, jade, and all kinds of ornaments on the shelves fell to the ground!
"These are all given to the general by the prince, and the general must be distressed when he knows it!" Although Mo Qi couldn't stop him from leaving the king, he also said carefully.
"He's a ghost!" The more he fell, the more energetic he became, "I actually joined forces to deceive this king, and this king made you look good!" ”
"Dare to lie to me! Don't let me see him, and you! Liwang suddenly turned around and pointed at Mo Qi, which really startled Mo Qi.
"Go back to the General's Mansion and don't appear in front of me!"
"Since the prince has ordered, Qingfeng naturally wants to go back." As he spoke, Qingfeng had already walked into the house, looking at the mess all over the ground.
He was even more angry with the king.
Qingfeng helped Mo Qi up, protected him behind him, looked at the hand of the king again, and said to Mo Qi: "You go and get some gauze and change it for the prince." ”
Mo Qi nodded, and at this time, Liwang suddenly kicked the things on the ground towards Qingfeng, Qingfeng dodged, but hit Mo Qi in the middle, and the back of Mo Qi's hand was actually scratched a small hole.
"Outcast, you go get the medicine first!" Liwang and Qingfeng both saw Mo Qi covering the back of his hand, and Qingfeng's words at this time made Mo Qi feel a little disappointed in his heart, but he could only listen.
"I'm scared again!" Qingfeng took the medicine box, pulled Mo Qi to the table, and carefully bandaged her, which made Mo Qi a little overwhelmed, and raised his eyes to look at the prince, at this time, Wang Li watched quietly, constantly panting for anger.
"Why are you angry at me! What to be angry with your child? Qingfeng complained a little.
"Listening to the general's tone, it's the king's fault?" Liwang slapped the table with his hand, and the blood oozing out was even more obvious, as if he was intentionally reminding the two.
Mo Qi hurriedly went over, reached out and carefully removed the gauze from the king, and bandaged him again.
"No matter how angry the prince is, he shouldn't let this hand bleed anymore!" Mo Qi said in a low voice, and King Li's anger gradually calmed down, and his tone softened, and he dragged Mo Qi into his arms with one hand and looked at it carefully.
"Me or him, which do you care more about?" Liwang looked at Mo Qi with interest, Mo Qi wanted to push him away, but Liwang tried his best to hold her in his arms.
"What? Shy? Liwang smiled, "In the border city village, why aren't you shy when you kiss and hug me?" ”
"What nonsense is the prince talking about?" Mo Qi looked innocent.
"Why don't you remember? Didn't you enjoy giving me a hug that night? As he spoke, he tried to draw close to her cheek.
"The prince can stop in moderation!" Qingfeng suddenly blocked the folding fan in front of King Li, dragging Mo Qi behind him.
"What? Jealous? The king is telling the truth, I remember that there were witnesses at that time! Liwang smiled even brighter.
When Qingfeng looked at Mo Qi, Mo Qi's face turned red as soon as he brushed it, Mo Qi looked at Qingfeng, and tears of grievance were about to come out.
Li Wang looked disdainful: "This little girl will also pretend to be innocent in front of you!" ”
"Outcast, you go down first! Don't mind what you just said! I'll get to you later! Qingfeng comforted.
