Chapter Forty-Eight: The Sacrifice of the Dead

On the way to Yufu, Ye Fu chatted with Fudi without a ride.

Suddenly, Lin Mengsheng stopped in front of the car, so frightened that Fu Di tightly held the horse rope, but threw Ye Fu out.

"Xiangye!" Fu Di stabilized the horse to pick it up, but was robbed by Lin Mengsheng before he touched the corner of Ye Fu's clothes.

The two landed steadily together.

"The prime minister's groom, his kung fu is good."

Ye Fu stabilized his mind, got out of Lin Mengsheng's arms and stood still: "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Prime Minister, do you remember a condition I promised when I went out of the mountain?"

"I remember." Ye Fu looked at the calm and self-contained appearance of the person in front of him, without a little joke of the past, "What, what's wrong?" ”

"Come with me somewhere."

After that, Lin Mengsheng picked up Ye Fu, flew into the carriage lightly on his toes, and changed the direction without waiting for Ye Fu's reaction and drove out of the city.

Fu Di behind him looked at the smaller and smaller shadow of the car, turned around and ran towards Yufu.

Let's talk about Lin Mengsheng here.

After leaving the city, he did not slow down the journey, and kept hurrying east.

"Lin Mengsheng, I'm hungry!"

After a day of madness in the car, Ye Fu was hungry and growling, and his spirit was not very good.

"Okay, let's go get something to eat at the next stop."

It's getting dark, and there's another stop.

Ye Fu felt bad in his heart, and caught a glimpse of Lin Mengsheng's tightly pursed lips, coupled with the tense atmosphere along the way.

Maybe something happened, Ye Fu didn't dare to ask more.

Finally, at the next stop, it was just dawn.

In the morning, Ye Fu woke up from drowsiness, shivering, and ate in a small shop on the side of the road in a daze.

"Drink some hot water." Lin Mengsheng looked at Ye Fu's haggard appearance, and felt a little unbearable, so he took the kettle and poured water for her.

Ye Fu took it, gurgled and drank, and then climbed into the carriage and fell asleep.

The next step was even more non-stop, eating only some dry food in the carriage.

Ye Fu pondered all the way in his heart, but it was also quiet.

After walking for more than ten days, we finally arrived.

Ye Fu got out of the car and almost fell to the ground, paralyzed.

"Lin Mengsheng, if you don't give me a full reason, I can't spare you."

Rushing at high speed in a row is really a crime.

Lin Mengsheng gave Ye Fu half a day of recuperation.

"Isn't this Doubletree County?"

Ye Fu recovered his spirit and pushed the house to the courtyard, isn't this where Lin Mengsheng lived before?

"Well, though, we're going to keep going."

"To the east? Isn't it Qi Guo? ”

"Hmm." Lin Mengsheng was packing up his things, as if he was preparing things, packing a big bag, and he was still loading it.

Ye Fu looked at Lin Mengsheng in a hurry with suspicion: Qi and Cang are at war, and they are losing and retreating.

At this time, when he went to Qi State, Lin Mengsheng's identity is self-evident.

"Are you from Qi Kingdom?"

Lin Mengsheng paused in his hand, turned to look at the handsome and thin Ye Fu, nodded, and said like an explanation: "It's my responsibility to seek government in his position." ”

"What did you bring me to do?"

"Peace of mind." Lin Mengsheng nodded as if unintentionally, "With you by my side, I will feel at ease." ”

"Yes."

Ye Fu thoughtfully.

The two had a hasty lunch and rushed to the Qi country.

Not far away, climb a mountain to arrive, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, a small county town, and further on, is the capital of Qi Tianque City.

Tianque, good name.

The two stayed in a small hotel.

I thought that Lin Mengsheng would be very busy, at least he planned to run around and understand the battle situation.

But when they arrived in the capital city of Tianque, everyone was very peaceful and peaceful, and they didn't see the slightest appearance of being war-torn.

Lin Mengsheng also locked himself in the house, during which someone went in to report the news, and came out again after a while, and was stunned when he saw Ye Fu in the corner of the yard, after all, he left.

Ye Fu paced in the courtyard again and walked for a while.

Lin Mengsheng came out, holding a sword in his hand, dancing in the autumn wind and falling leaves.

Shadows are chaotic, people are crazy.

Lin Mengsheng was dressed in white, wielding a sharp sword, and used seven or eight points of strength to compete with the leaves that landed in the courtyard, and against the leisurely west wind.

There was wine again.

Pour a cup and dance wildly, wanton and chic, sword energy.

Ye Fu stopped in the courtyard and did not come forward.

But Lin Mengsheng saw it, grinned at the corner of his mouth, flew over and swept Ye Fu's waist, hovered up and swordsmanship in the air, and the robes of the two flew over, as if they had returned to the past.

"Lin Mengsheng ......"

"Shhh

In the middle of the night, Lin Mengsheng took out his sword sharply and stabbed towards the trunk, Ye Fu could feel Lin Mengsheng's muscles.

He's repressing, he's enduring it.

"Bang!"

The sword broke, and the blade bounced back, right in front of Ye Fu's eyes.

Lin Mengsheng came sideways and stood in front of Ye Fu, with a drunken mist in his eyes.

The blade of the sword grazed Lin Mengsheng's sideburns, beads of blood appeared, and the hair strands were also cut off.

"Prime Minister, can you help me?"

Ye Fu lifted his sleeves, wiped Lin Mengsheng's cheeks with the soft layer inside, and nodded with a light smile.

Please enter the urn, about that.

Lin Mengsheng threw away his sword, gently hugged Ye Fu, closed his eyes and said reverently: "I really owe the prime minister a lifetime." ”

The next day, the two dressed up as ordinary people and went out.

The street looks like it's being renovated and relocated.

There are a lot of people, coming and going, pouring in front of their homes, looking like they are going to open a business.

The whole street is like this, and the people in robes, who look elegant and graceful, wander in the streets.

"Didn't you say that Cangguo had already hit the capital? Why is there no trace of the battle at all. ”

Lin Mengsheng raised his head, didn't look at the people around him, walked quickly through the street, and let out a long sigh of relief: "These people are all from Cangguo. ”

"What? What about the people of Qi? Ye Fu thought of countless possibilities in his heart, only the word "slaughter" hovered.

If this is really the case, Ye Fu looked back at the harmonious and slightly noisy street, how heavy and dark it should be, bloody and ugly.

"I'll tell you later."

Then Lin Mengsheng took Ye Fu to the foot of a mountain: "We need to climb over this mountain, where a ceremony is being held to worship the sky." ”

"Sacrifice to the sky?"

"The Sacrifice of the Dead."

After Lin Mengsheng finished speaking, he pursed his lips tightly, and his expression became serious.

Ye Fu Nuo voiced.

With Lin Mengsheng's support, a mountain is not much difficult to climb.

Ye Fu fell a few times and didn't say anything, and finally tripped over his clothes, he really couldn't walk, he was picked up by Lin Mengsheng and caught in his arms, and came to the other side of the mountain like a wind under his feet.

Lin Mengsheng put Ye Fu on the ground, and looked at the foot of the mountain intently, on a flat and open ground, erected bursts of white flags, cold wind, and weed.

Ye Fu also looked at the past, like a natural circular Temple of Heaven, with incense, Sanskrit sounds, and a person in the middle is doing a ritual religiously.

The Sacrifice of the Dead.

No one was afraid of the cold wind, and no one was concerned.

The left and right should be the civil and military officials of the Qi State, neatly dressed and solemn and awe-inspiring, among them are old men with pale white hair, and there are also twenty-eight years old Qingjun.

On the other side is a group of richly dressed but simply colored people, who should be palace concubines and members of the royal family, with babies still crying.

"Who is he?"

Ye Fu pointed to the person in the center of the altar, white as snow, and his eyebrows were indifferent.

"Emperor of Qi State, Qi Yu." Lin Mengsheng's eyes were clear and resolute.

Ye Fu turned his attention to the sacrifice again.

I casually caught a glimpse of the man in red under the altar, and a group of slaves.

"Cangye!" Ye Fu exclaimed, and was covered by Lin Mengsheng in time.

"Prime Minister, don't get excited."

Ye Fu nodded and looked at Cang Ye again.

The red clothes are so glamorous that they seem to be mocking the sassy flying white flags, and they seem to be exaggerating the pathos of the sacrifice.

Fortunately, he just stood aside, didn't say a word, and watched the whole process with a light smile.

"What is this ritual for?"

"The emperor of Qi is voluntary, and he is a slave."

Slaves? Ye Fu looked at the sparse and indifferent middle-aged man in shock again.

In him, there is no majestic imperial appearance, nor is there an ordinary reluctant appearance.

The sacrifice was over, the hundred officials dispersed, and they were escorted by the soldiers of Cangye in a queue and calmly left.

The emperor's harem was also escorted away.

In the end, only the white flags and the emperor were left.

It's really a lonely person.

I saw Emperor Qi smile lightly, stretched out his hand to pick up the crown and threw it on the ground, his long black hair floating on the snow-white dragon robe.

This is a white brocade dragon robe specially made for the ceremony.

"Cangye, remember your promise."

Qi Huang only said this lightly, and walked down the steps step by step, and in the end he stumbled up, fell to the ground, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "vomit".

The red clothes with blood are even better.

Emperor Qi didn't struggle to get up, just lay on his back on the ground, staring at the vast sky, blue and blue, the wind blew away the clouds, and brought the clouds.

Cang Ye walked in front of Emperor Qi with interest, squatted down to say something, Ye Fu and the others couldn't hear it.

At this time, the corners of Lin Mengsheng's mouth hooked slightly and stretched out his hand.

This is a code, Ye Fu clearly saw the surrounding grass squirming.

Archers, ready.

Just wait for Lin Mengsheng to order.

Who knows, Emperor Qi actually got up and walked to Cang Ye's side, with his back to Lin Mengsheng and the others.

Emperor Qi is blocking arrows for Cangye!

Lin Mengsheng frowned and ordered the offensive to be closed.

Cang Ye looked at the smile on the corner of Emperor Qi's mouth: "Qi Yu, you just look at me, how to eat your Qi country." ”

"Whatever you want." Qi Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth and walked away leisurely.

Ye Fu looked at the back of Xiao Suo with a fascination, his long hair was slightly raised, and he was arrogant.

In response, there was already a group of Cangguo soldiers facing themselves on the mountain.

"Let's go!" Lin Mengsheng gave the order to withdraw and ran away with Ye Fu.
