When the high priest heard Su Yiyao say this, his face turned unpleasant, and his eyes rolled for a long time and he couldn't say anything, but such a sentence made a woman present cry. Pinshu.com
"I've got two more children! God still hasn't mercy on us Liuxi citizens! High priest, didn't you say that with the blood of a child and the flesh to the sky, the gods will rain! Why is it useless at all? My children died in vain, in vain! ”
The woman's cry infected all the people of Liuxi City in the outfield, who had not lost a child, and who was about to lose a child. said that for the sake of Liuxi, this land they love deeply, even if they sacrifice their children, they are willing to sacrifice their children, but who is willing to do it? It's all the meat that fell from his body, he was reluctant to be a father, and he was even more reluctant to be a mother, for so many years, he lost countless children, but what did he get in exchange?
The answer is cruel, but it is also the most true.
No! Nothing! Liuxi is still short of water, the sacrifice of the child has no effect, the people of Liuxi are still alive and breathing, without children, the only hope in their hearts is that Liuxi will become better and become as prosperous as the capital, but the words Su Yiyao said made them suspicious, and even shook their hearts for a long time, and their unwavering belief disappeared at the moment when this sentence was said.
"Yes, High Priest, this foreigner woman is right at this point, our child was handed over to the heavens, and we all recognized it, but why did Liuxi still not find a water source?"
"Yes, we in Liuxi only have the source that Master Su sent by the imperial court more than ten years ago, and found for us, such a small water source can also allow us to live for so long, but why have so many years passed, and our children are gone, what about the water source?"
The people began to gradually wake up, and they were doubting whether what the so-called high priest said was true or false, originally they had been living in Liuxi safely and soundly, even if they were poor, they all recognized it, at least the relatives around them were there, but one day ten years ago, this high priest who claimed to be from the Western Regions was able to find a way to find a water source for Liuxi, but the price to pay was their children, and no one refused to hand over their children at first, which family was willing?
But then I don't know what happened, a few people really handed over their children as if they were stunned, and kept muttering: "The child can be regenerated if it is gone, the child can be regenerated if it is gone, the Liuxi water source cannot be without, and the Liuxi water source cannot be without." Gradually, the entire people of Liuxi were fooled by this idea, and they all handed over their children one after another, and let the children cry and call their father and mother, and finally they could not escape death.
In fact, there is a small circle in the hearts of those parents, which records their children, who were sent to death by their own hands, their cries, continuous cries, at this moment, everyone pierced the deep part of their hearts.
The high priest's heart became extremely flustered when he saw this, and he hurriedly walked to the city people and pointed at Su Yiyao is scolding.
"What do you know about you foreign woman, if the imperial court is really good for the people of Liuxi, it will not leave Liuxi as soon as it finishes finding the water source, that water source is not enough for the people of Liuxi to use, how many people have died!"
It's a strong argument at all, who didn't know that the Huns invaded my Ming Kingdom at that time, Su Yiyao's father was a general, and at that time, the national crisis was at the head, and Liuxi finally had a little water to use, so Su Zhenghao left Liuxi with confidence.
Night Wind saw the high priest's arrogant appearance towards Su Yiyao, and almost couldn't help kicking him, but Su Yiyao stopped him before he gave up.
"Look at your fancy appearance, like a rooster walking around, plus the circle of chicken feathers on your head, it is even more like, since you think what our young lady said is not, what about the water source?" Bo Yunlang also retorted, but his sentence of 'our young lady' shocked Su Yiyao, what is Bo Yunlang going to do!
The doubt in Su Yiyao's eyes, Bo Yunlang saw it, so he patted Su Yiyao's shoulder to reassure her.
"Dare to ask all kinds of Liuxi citizens, who is this so-called high priest?" After Bo Yunlang finished speaking, he looked at the high priest with sharp eyes, and this person looked like he was not right.
There was an old man who struggled to get up from the ground, but he couldn't get up, so Bo Yunlang saw him and hurriedly helped him up.
The old man trembled and got up, and said to Bo Yunlang in a loud voice: "Thank you, thank you!" "There were tears in my eyes.
The old man pointed his finger at the high priest, and said in a choked voice: "This, this self-proclaimed high priest from the Western Regions, he said that as long as we hand over our children to the cang, he, he can help us to flow west to get rain, can make us flow west to adjust the rain, and also said that the court has abandoned us a long time ago and left us to fend for ourselves!" After saying that, he put his hands on his face and cried bitterly.
Su Yiyao looked at the old man who Bo Yunlang was holding with pity, he lost his loved ones, or sent them to death with his own hands, and now the guilt is pouring out and hitting their hearts, how sad is this? People who haven't experienced it don't know, and she Su Yiyao doesn't know either, but there is one thing she has personally experienced, it is the loss of her loved ones again and again, the pain is like being stabbed in the heart again and again, but not dying, it has always made you so uncomfortable.
"The Western Regions?" Su Yiyao suddenly caught these two words, the Western Regions and the Ming Kingdom were originally well water and did not interfere with river water, why did the people from the Western Regions come back to their Ming Kingdom?
Yes, the old man also said a sentence just now: The court has abandoned us a long time ago.
Isn't this deliberately provoking a dispute between the government and the people in the Ming Kingdom, this high priest must have a purpose! There must be a purpose!
But what is his purpose? And where did they send them? The Ming Kingdom has always been hostile to the Xiongnu, but which countries in the Western Regions have always been in a friendly state, why are there people from the Western Regions coming to the Ming Kingdom to stir up people's hearts?
"Night Wind, arrest this deceitful priest for me!" Su Yiyao gave an order, but the night wind was very happy, and he knocked the high priest to the ground with three blows and two blows, and trampled him under his feet, so that he could not move.
