Chapter 548: Harvest
When the Jinghu Guard shuttled through the city and distributed leaflets, the guards standing at the top of the wall could see it clearly. Immediately "risked" to open a gap in the palace door, went out and picked up a leaflet and handed it back to the inner palace Zhou Meng.
Zhou Meng looked at the news of the wedding of the "King of the Sunset Moon" and the "Goddess" above, and couldn't help but clench his fists tightly and slammed it on the wooden table on the side, shaking the tea bowls on it.
"What a fart! This king is here, the wedding has been stirred up, and there is a king of the sunset moon coming out of nowhere! ”
The maids and guards on the side couldn't help but bow their heads in unison.
Zhou Meng has never been so embarrassed as he is today. Since he was born, he has been the king of the setting moon, the god of the people, and his existence is the greatest luck of the setting moon and the master of the people of the setting moon.
He had whatever he wanted, and even a beautiful woman like Miss Xiao promised to become his princess. The women of his harem, as well as his children, and his ministers, all respected him as if he were a god.
But such an unshakable position was completely shaken in front of a group of outsiders today. He hurried out of the palace in embarrassment, closed the palace door tightly and did not dare to open the door. He was also shot in the bun on the top of his head by an arrow from the reckless man, and now there is a lot less hair on the top of his head. Although he could hide the "bald" part when combing his hair, he always felt that the maids, his concubines, and concubines were laughing at him. Not to mention the ministers who were there at the time, they saw him pinned to the wall with an arrow!
Zhou Meng's self-esteem has been trampled on like never before, and the only thing he wants to do now is revenge! He wants to arrest a reckless man who snatched the goddess, and whip the nail on Xingtai! Slipped off his flesh one by one.
"What presumptuous, presumptuous!" Zhou Meng crumpled and tore the flyer in his hand fiercely, threw it on the ground and stomped it several times.
"Spread the general to the palace! This king wants to see what kind of fame those foreigners can make! Food distribution to the population? This king did not speak, who dared to touch this king's grain! ”
The maids were already stunned by Zhou Meng's appearance, and hurriedly retreated after listening to the order.
Zhou Meng called the general into the palace, inquired about the situation on the side of the Mino, and learned that they were still stationed in place and did not make any expansion, so he was relieved.
"Tomorrow, we will gather all our soldiers and horses in one place, and teach them a lesson to this king! The important thing is the grain and grass, we must not let them move the grain and grass in an emergency, and bring back the grain and grass to the king! ”
The general gave his hand, "Yes, don't worry, the king of the county!" ”
Zhou Meng waved his hand and sent the general away.
The sky was getting dark, and Zhou Meng did not summon any concubines, let alone ask the guards around him to take half a step away, and arranged more than 100 guards to surround his bedroom tightly, so that he dared to sleep boldly and boldly.
The guards were also very conscientious, with a small team of ten people, interspersed with non-stop patrols outside the dormitory.
There are no anomalies in the first half of the night. However, no one dared to relax.
No one noticed that at this time, a black shadow flashed into the hall like a ghost, and after a while, it was stuck in the blind spot of the intersection of the guards' patrols, and left the dormitory in a dashing manner, leaving the palace quietly.
The next day had passed, and the maids had not seen the king get up, and they had called outside the bed tent several times without any response, and they felt that the situation was wrong.
As soon as I opened the tent, I saw that the king of the county had his hands folded on his abdomen, lying upright on the bed, but his face was pale and blue, pure and bleak and bloodless, and he didn't react no matter how he called it.
The maid had the audacity to touch Zhou Meng's arm lightly.
"The king of the county, the king of the county, you ......"
Get Cold!
"Ahh
Exclamations rang out in the sky.
The guards were startled, rushed in in a panic, and as soon as they checked the king lying on the bed, they were already stunned.
"Call the Imperial Doctor! Come, Princess! Hurry! ”
Not long after, the eldest princess, the second princess and the third princess rushed over, and the three of them gathered around the bed to take a look, and found that Zhou Meng was really angry, and couldn't help crying!
The eldest princess hurriedly ordered: "Tell the ministers to come into the palace and see the situation!" And you, take a good look at how the king died! ”
The two imperial doctors trembled their hands, trembling and came forward to examine them carefully, but they didn't find any wounds, and they weren't poisoned!
"This, there is no wound on the body of the king of the county, there is no poisoning, and he is not suffocated by someone covering his mouth and nose, just, that is, naturally, he died naturally, just like falling asleep and suddenly dying......" The voice of the imperial doctor trembled.
The eldest princess kicked over angrily: "Nonsense! The king of the county is in the prime of life, how can he die while asleep? It must be that you are not good at medicine and can't check it out! ”
The general and several ministers were surprised by the results of the imperial doctor's examination, and they also hurriedly stepped forward to check.
As examined by the imperial doctor, there was no wound, not poisoning, nor suffocation.
"This, the king of the county is really strange, isn't it, he was summoned by ...... God"
The third princess suddenly screamed and shouted, "It must be the demon girl surnamed Xiao!" It had to be her! She's not a goddess, she's a witch! It was she who killed the king of the county! She must have killed the king of the county! ”
The screams of the three princesses shook people's eardrums.
Several courtiers couldn't help but sink their faces and said, "The third princess don't talk nonsense!" The goddess came to Xiyue with a large amount of food and seeds, exactly the same as described in the holy book, but in the marriage link suddenly broke off and did not come true, saying that you are a fake three princesses, I believe it, but I don't believe that the goddess is not a goddess, but I don't believe it, and I believe that all the people of Xiyue will not believe it! ”
"Exactly! If it weren't for the goddess, how could she have crossed such a large desert and brought food to our land of the setting moon! ”
Ministers, every word you say to me, your face is extremely serious.
The second princess stared for a moment, and said, "This princess also feels that this matter has nothing to do with the goddess. It's just that the death of the county king is really strange, but it seems to go naturally, I think it should be a divine calling, right? ”
The eldest princess turned her head and pointed at the second and third princesses, and scolded: "It must be you two who plotted to kill the county king!" ”
The king of the county is dead, and if you want to choose an heir, it must be her son! These two sluts must die!
The eldest princess's mind is well known to anyone with a discerning eye.
When it comes to the change of power, she doesn't care if it's her pillow person who died, but what she thinks of is to quickly grasp the power.
The three princesses were completely stunned by the eldest princess's accusations, and they were stunned at first, and then they cried and pounced, grabbed the eldest princess's clothes and scolded: "You slandered me!" You are the murderer of the county king! You are! ”
The two women twisted into a twist and wrestled on the ground.
It was so noisy and ridiculous that the courtiers frowned and shook their heads.
The second princess is the most stable one, and she frowned and said, "Don't separate the eldest princess from the third princess!" ”
The maids didn't dare to touch their masters, but now they dared to do it when they were ordered, so they hurriedly pulled the two apart.
The second princess didn't care about the faces of the two women, and immediately said: "Now is not the time to fight for this, what matters now is the situation." I heard that there were more than fifty people from the tribe of the goddess outside, all of them dressed in black, tall and mighty, brave and good at fighting, all like heavenly soldiers and generals. Are they now stationed in the camp where the Priestess tribe is located? ”
Seeing this, the ministers nodded one after another, and under the indiscriminate crying of the eldest princess and the third princess, the second princess's calmness couldn't help but make people's eyes shine.
Then a courtier replied: "What the princess said is that the goddess did have more than 50 guards who also came to the setting moon, and yesterday at noon, it was those black-clothed guards who robbed the goddess. One of the guards nearly killed the king with an arrow. The king's hair has been cut off quite a bit. ”
The second princess was terrified when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What do you think is the origin of these people?" Is it really the attendant of the goddess? What are they going to do when they come to the setting moon? Did the king of the county order anyone to investigate? ”
The eldest princess and the third princess had never considered this, and they were a little stunned when they heard it.
The ministers admired the second princess even more in their hearts, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the princess, those people are really the attendants of the goddess, and they may not have come to Xiyue to be our enemy, because yesterday when the king of the county sent troops to surround the camp of the goddess clan when he married the goddess, and the goddess's guards clashed with our soldiers and horses when they came, but the other party obviously had the force above our men and horses, but they did not kill a single person." ”
The second princess was surprised to hear this, "They didn't kill anyone?" ”
"Yes. Not only did they not kill our soldiers, but they also did not go to the people's homes to loot, but they just stayed in the camp in peace. But one of them came out and handed out some leaflets around. ”
"Flyers?"
"Yes."
The courtier took out a leaflet from his sleeve and presented it to the second princess with both hands.
The second princess took it and frowned.
"At noon today, the king of the setting moon is going to have a wedding with the goddess, and he is going to distribute seeds to the people of the setting moon?"
Everyone looked at the frozen corpse lying on the bed.
When everyone is dead, how can a wedding be held?
"The other party does not kill people, but also gives seeds to our people. Apparently they are not hostile to us. But what about the wedding? ”
The second princess pondered for a moment and said, "I think that since the other party has no hostile intentions, it is best for us not to use our troops and horses, I am worried that if we provoke the wrath of the gods, they will burn the seeds and not give them to us, and then it will not be the people of the setting moon who will suffer." ”
"That's what the princess said." The courtiers all agreed, feeling that the second princess was calmer and more reliable than the county king.
The eldest princess and the third princess rushed to read the flyer at this time, and they were even more confused for a while.
The second princess said worriedly: "Let our soldiers and horses prepare for battle first, but don't take the initiative to attack, we will wait and see what happens in the palace." As for the funeral of the county king, I don't do this, so I'll leave it to the eldest princess and the third princess to deal with. ”
