Chapter 94, a long drought and a rain
The ceremony was arranged at the altar on the shore of the Weishui, which is called a small mound, and it is said that it was modeled after the altar on the island in the center of the Void Sea, and its scale was reduced to about a quarter of the original altar.
The news of the sacrifice to the sky has a huge repercussion among the people of Yuyan, and many people outside Yuyan have rushed over when they hear the voice, and there are few opportunities to witness the royal family sacrifice to the sky, especially this time His Royal Highness King Zhao and His Royal Highness King An will also appear, and many people hope to be able to witness the demeanor of these two prestigious princes.
"What kind of expression do you have, haven't you ever seen me in a prince's formal suit?" After Zhou Tianyi put on all the accessories and walked out of the house, he found that everyone was staring at him with a surprised gaze, in this circle of people, Qin Feng and Qin Song had definitely seen him like this, there was no reason to show this expression for the first time, he asked with some anxiety: "What's wrong?" ”
"Maybe this outfit is too different from what you usually feel." Qin Song laughed in a low voice, stepped forward and deliberately took a few more looks, Zhou Tianyi treated people gently, except for the time when she was passively lynched in prison and was dying, she had never seen him overflow with anger, and this dark purple golden silk dragon pattern auspicious cloud robe was too solemn, and there seemed to be a layer of golden light wrapped in the sun, which made Zhou Tianyi's whole person majestic.
Qin Song thought that if he ignored his expression at this moment, his words and deeds should have the force to make everyone kneel and bow down.
"It's just a change of clothes, how much difference can it make, right, Sixth Brother?" Zhou Tianyi didn't care, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhou Tianmu coming out of another room, the same dark purple prince's formal suit, the same majesty and manners, why didn't he think that the sixth brother was any different from usual?
Zhou Tianmu was asked so endlessly, and he didn't know whether to answer "yes" or "no", seeing that everyone present focused their eyes on him again, and after understanding that his answer was not important at all, he shook his head helplessly, and stretched out one hand in the direction of the gate, "Okay, let's go, the people of Yuyan are waiting." ”
Zhou Tianyi and Zhou Tianmu sat in two carriages, while the others got into the third carriage and followed them to the banks of the Weishui River outside Tongcheng, and when they approached the altar, they parted ways.
"Actually, Miss Qin, as the county lord, should also sacrifice to the heavens with His Highness, right?" Shen Buwen has been busy treating patients on the front line these days, and there are very few opportunities to meet with people in other hospitals, as soon as he got into the carriage, his mouth seemed to be broken The water outlet of the valve, from the stubborn patients he met to the sinister rivers and lakes, he never stopped at all. Somehow, it suddenly came to Qin Song.
"Doctor Shen, everyone knows that my title of 'county lord' was picked up, and this time, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King An and the two princes all came forward to worship the sky, so I am even more dispensable." Qin Song answered very patiently, the sacrifice to appease the people's hearts was originally a beautiful difference, but Zhou Tianlei's attitude towards Zhou Tianyi and Zhou Tianmu, this time the sacrifice will only increase his suspicion of them.
Even if they knew this, Zhou Tianyi and Zhou Tianmu still chose to go into battle in person, this is to show that the royal family attaches great importance to the people of Yuyan, right? This land, which is located at the forefront of the Quartet, has always been devastated by war, suffered a lot during the war, and was terrified during the armistice. Here, there is an urgent need for such a sacrifice to the heavens and blessings, so that the broken hearts of the people of Yuyan can be appeased and reunited.
That's why Zhou Tianyi and Zhou Tianmu acted so unhesitatingly, right?
"Here, this is the altar?" The small mound is in a vacant land on the bank of the Weishui River, if there is no grand ceremony, few people come, Qin Song was originally just a businessman, and most of the people walked in the crowded business road, naturally he has never been to such a remote place.
The so-called altar is actually a high platform made of soil piles, there are three layers, there are about 100 steps, the earthen platform of the highest layer is very spacious and flat, the sacrificial case is placed in the center, and there are five grains and six animals listed on it, which means that the five grains are abundant, and the six animals are prosperous.
The carriage that Qin Song and his party were sitting in made a slight detour, and when they actually arrived, the time for the start of the sacrifice had already passed.
Zhou Tianyi and the others did not restrict the people from approaching the edge of the altar, so except for making way for a main road, the other places were full of people who came to watch, Qin Song, Qin Feng, Shen Buwen, and Shen Suyu did not squeeze forward, but just watched from a distance.
The sun in the morning was not so scorching, and the four people in heavy formal suits took Zhou Xueli and Zhou Xueyi in the front, and Zhou Tianyi and Zhou Tianmu in the back.
After the ceremony, the four people were divided into four directions and poured the water of the Wei River outward, implying that the four seas were leveled.
The direction in which Zhou Tianyi was standing happened to be facing Qin Song, Qin Song looked up at the people who were close at hand and far away in the sky, the solemnity between his eyebrows made her unable to take her eyes off, unlike the usual eyes that are always gentle and smiling, at this time, Zhou Tianyi's eyes only have the four directions, only Zhuhua only has the world, and she is only one of the thousands of people, no different from others.
Qin Song suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, she wondered which one of the Zhou Tianyi she saw on weekdays or him who was now standing above the people was real? If it is the former, she has already lost, she has believed, she has been convinced, she has fallen in love with him, if it is the latter...... In an instant, the cruel and cold-blooded methods of the emperors of the past flashed in her mind, and her body trembled, feeling that the cold-faced and ruthless Zhou Tianyi was both strange and terrifying.
By the time Qin Song came back to his senses, the ritual had already ended, and Zhou Tianyi and Zhou Tianmu had already gotten into the carriage and returned to Tongcheng according to the established route.
In order to cooperate with the festival, Zhou Xueli and Zhou Xueyi also planned a two-day festival, and the silent Yuyan became lively again after a long absence.
A few people who had nothing to do and were light came to wander around the streets, because of the war, there were very few festivals in Yuyan, and even if they were carried out occasionally, they did not have the scale of this statewide carnival. After seeing Zhou Tianyi, who had returned to his usual appearance, Qin Song ignored the emotions of self-disturbance in the morning and easily shuttled through the crowd.
"Hello? Don't you run away and be thrown into the pigsty with a sack? Zhou Tianyi joked with Qin Song about the folk anecdotes that his sister Zhou Tianse told him, but Qin Song had already gone away. At this festival, the people of Yuyan seem to have taken out the belongings at the bottom of the box, everything that has not been seen or tried, Qin Song will show curiosity, Zhou Tianyi can't hold her, so he can only follow her so as not to get lost.
"Zifeng, your sister...... Sister ...... "He felt that he couldn't do things, as Qin Song's brother, Qin Feng could always have some binding force on her, who said that he was on one side, Qin Feng, who was walking with him, was gone, and his eyes were farther away, Qin Feng had already sat in the food stall, and talked with the boss and the proprietress of the boss, and there were a few human walls between them.
Zhou Tianyi had no choice but to turn sideways into the flow of people and follow Qin Song.
"Ahem......" At this moment, he has been standing by a stall that focuses on "archery" for a long time, Qin Song doesn't know what interest she has, she has no kung fu foundation at all, she actually played target shooting, there are twenty steps, thirty steps, fifty steps and one hundred steps of the target, and the reward for shooting different targets is also different.
In fact, twenty steps is not difficult for a young and energetic woman like Qin Song, but the woman in front of her does not know the essentials, and she has never touched the target with ten arrows.
"What stupid!" Zhou Tianyi really couldn't stand it, "I am accustomed to using my right hand, so I hold a bow in my left hand, hook the string with my right hand, and look straight ahead with my eyes." He naturally walked behind Qin Song, and while talking about the essentials, he adjusted his posture for her, "Relax your shoulders, okay, try it." ”
Qin Song followed what Zhou Tianyi said to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, although she didn't hit the bull's-eye, at least she could touch the target, she was very happy to ask the boss for a small gift, it was an ordinary red hairband. She usually doesn't put this kind of material on herself when she pays attention to dressing, but this hairband is a trophy with a different meaning, Qin Song wrapped the headband around her wrist and prepared to leave contentedly.
Qin Song bought a total of fifteen feather arrows, and now there are four left, Zhou Tianyi glanced at the target of a hundred steps, and then looked at the feather arrows placed on the table in turn, "Qin Song, do you want to try a hundred steps through Yang?" ”
"Of course I want to, but I ......" She knew that she had no talent in martial arts, let alone a hundred steps, fifty steps was impossible.
"Come here." Zhou Tianyi lifted the longbow to Qin Song, and motioned for her to stand in front of him, "Look ahead, relax." His hand covered her and she held the bow together, an arrow, fixed the world, and hit the bull's-eye a hundred steps away.
"Good, good!" Qin Song turned around and looked at Zhou Tianyi in surprise, even if it wasn't all the arrows she shot, she was happy that she could have such an experience of hitting the target in a hundred steps. But happy to be happy, she immediately realized that the posture of the two was inappropriate, her side cheeks immediately turned red, and she pushed her hand out of his arms, and stood aside without speaking.
Zhou Tianyi felt funny, but he had no intention of teasing her, there were still three arrows left on the table, and he was also interested, and put all three arrows on the bowstring, "Qin Song, you can take a good look, there are not many opportunities to see each other in the future." "The full bow is shot, the three arrows are fired at once, the arrow is off the string, the bow is broken, and on the target 100 meters away, the three arrows are all hit the bull's-eye, and the target is three points.
Qin Song, along with the boss who had been watching from the sidelines, was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and he even forgot to applaud.
Zhou Tianyi was right, seeing that there were really not many opportunities for this archery, Qin Song was still reminiscing, and he was already taken by Zhou Tianyi and walked away. The impromptu three-arrow salvo was too flamboyant, and it would be bad to be found out that he was King Zhao.
"Boss, don't want the reward, just compensate for the longbow!" Zhou Tianyi's voice echoed in the air, and the stunned boss came back to his senses, his eyes moved from the broken bow on the table to the hundred-step arrow target, and the person he knew of who had such archery skills was the only one in the four directions, "His Royal Highness King Zhao...... It's His Royal Highness King Zhao, His Royal Highness King Zhao has shot arrows here from the little old man, hahaha. His voice was drowned out in a joyous noise, and no one cared.
