Chapter 100: Apocalypse Reappears
The third festival of March passed in a flash, and in the middle of March, the sky in Yangcheng also became hazy and rainy, and a thunderstorm from time to time made the people who were engaged in agriculture have mixed joys and sorrows.
The good news is that the spring rain is falling, which is beneficial to farming, and the worry is that this day the thunder will chop a few trees every year to cause fires, so that people have to worry about the day and pray for a safe spring thunder season.
On March 16, another thunderstorm struck, the sky began to be gloomy and overwhelmed from the ordinary day, the dense rain hit the roof, the sound of crackling was like sprinkling beans, people hid in the house, listening to the thunder and wind and rain, and they were worried about which house the thunder had ignited and which family's wealth had been burned.
"Click, click!!"
Suddenly, a lightning bolt like a light snake lit up the entire sky, and an explosion came suddenly, shaking the ground and shaking it, and people went out to watch in horror, but saw another lightning slash in the direction of the Xichu River, followed by another earth-shattering loud noise, and a thick smoke rose.
"Oh no! The fire has struck the river god!"
I don't know who screamed, and the people who watched the excitement were so frightened that they went back to their houses to hide, for fear of provoking the heavens and bringing the disaster to their own heads.
The wind and rain were blowing, and the rain fell for a small half a day, and finally stopped in the near Shen, and saw that the dark clouds in the sky were gradually dissipating, and the people in the nearby villages went out in groups, and rushed straight to the place where the thunder fell that day.
Although it had been washed by heavy rain, but through the turbulent river, the thick smoke and fire on the small island in the river were still crackling and burning, and people gathered around the riverbank, looking at the island without stopping.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of silk and bamboo music sounded, fluttering in people's ears, and it took a while to disperse with the wind.
"The heavens have appeared!"
Someone in the crowd shouted in a dumb voice, and with this shout, more than a dozen people on the bank of the river immediately knelt down busily, worshipping the firelight, and after a while, Hulala knelt down on the shore, and the chaotic shouting became louder and louder, covering the sound of fairy music.
Seeing such a great vision, people rushed to tell each other, calling friends and friends, and in less than an hour, there were as many as two or three hundred people gathered on the riverbank, and even worse, they took millet and chickens and ducks and threw them into Hanoi to pray for blessings, which was really a lot of chaos.
The news soon spread to the government, at dusk, a team of sharp knife clippers came from upstream, more than a dozen government soldiers went to the island to check, but soon drove away again, but it was also strange, although the fast boat left, the island was left with four government soldiers guarded, for a time people on the shore were talking, they were all staying in place and unwilling to leave, wanting to see what was going on.
Some of them were bold, and I don't know who got a fishing boat, and while the sky was getting dark, three or four descendants took a boat around the back of the island and went up to the island to see it clearly.
When those few people came back, the matter of the appearance of the boulder of the Apocalypse Proverbs of Yangcheng did not go away, and in a blink of an eye, it spread throughout the entire Yangcheng.
......
At the beginning of the lanterns, the moon was faint, Ye Ziyi sat in a small wine shop in Yangcheng, slowly tasting the wine in his hand, listening to a man in the wine shop describe the vision in the West Chu River, the corners of his lips slightly hooked.
Everything is going well, the time and place are favorable, and now there are people, this matter will be transmitted to Yecheng as soon as possible, and the Xiang clan can no longer use the stones of Fengcheng to make a fuss, and then, let the "Tianshi" of Fencheng also make a grand appearance, and it is time to give the queen a good headache.
"Xiaolang, when are we leaving?" Ah Si, who was sitting next to Ye Ziyi, listened to the sighs of the people behind him with a happy face, and couldn't help but snicker.
"Let's go now, it's time for the excitement, let's stop by and have a look. Ye Ziyi was also in a good mood, and went out with Ah Si and two guards dressed as rangers, and got on an ox cart and ran to the city gate.
Yangcheng usually closes the city gate at the beginning of the day, because of the strange news of the apocalypse, the time to close the city gate tonight is a lot later, Gongzi Tang is not in the city, and the Yangcheng defenders can't get the boulder that one person is high from the island for a while, so they sent a lot of soldiers to the bank of the Xichu River, and along the way, you can always see a few knights running around with torches.
Ye Ziyi looked at these soldiers coldly, calculated Fencheng's next move in his mind, and followed the ox cart to the river.
On the bank of the river, there is an endless stream of people who worship and ask for blessings, and the fire on the bank is everywhere, people are talking and laughing, and it seems to have become a large gathering.
Directing the ox cart to bypass the crowd, Ye Ziyi and Ah Si got off the car at a hidden reed bank, found their own boat and drove into the river.
Looking at the fire-shining island not far away, Ye Ziyi stood at the bow of the boat, facing the cool river breeze, and her eyes slowly drifted away.
This step is considered to be smooth, and the next step is the most critical, in the matter of Fencheng, she must let Xiang move her muscles and bones, fold her wings, and let Queen Qi taste the taste of being framed!
"Girl, the rivers are all blocked, let's go to Fencheng, I'm afraid we will have to take a detour. Uncle Zhong walked out of the cabin, put a cloak on Ye Ziyi's body, and looked at the small island with her. "In less than half a month, Gongzi Tang will be able to enter Yecheng. ”
"Well, I didn't expect to insert willows unintentionally, but I gave Gongzi Tang a chance, which is also providential. Ye Ziyi let out a long breath and turned back to Uncle Zhong. "When I get out of Yangcheng, my uncle will go back to Fengcheng first, we all come out, Fengcheng has no one to take care of, and my heart is always unstable. ”
"I also want to tell the girl about this, we have dozens of people in the Zhuangzi, and no one cares about it for fear that it will cause trouble, even so, the old slave will go back. Uncle Zhong said, hesitated, and lowered his voice to Ye Ziyi. "Although the girl took a risk for the son, I am afraid that the son does not know the danger and wastes the girl's mind in vain, you see...... Do you want to let them ......?"
Seeing Uncle Zhong pointing to the cabin, Ye Ziyi understood in an instant, Uncle Zhong was afraid that Gongzi would not take this matter to heart, and wanted those guards to spread the word and flaunt her merits.
"No need, I'm Ah Cheng's person, shouldn't I help him? Uncle, I know you have good intentions, but it really doesn't have to be like that, he knows my intentions. Ye Ziyi smiled slightly and said to Uncle Zhong. "Uncle, go back and take good care of those people, don't worry about me. ”
"Alas, it's okay, our Jing family's head is true and true, the girl and the old man are the same, and the son is valued by the girl, which is really a blessing for several generations. Alas, girl, it's late at night, go in and take a break, don't get cold. Uncle Zhong sighed a few times, saw that Ye Ziyi did not move, turned around and entered the cabin.
Ye Ziyi watched him enter, took a deep breath, looked up at the bright stars in the ink-stained night sky, and looked at the brightest Big Dipper, she curled her lips and smiled, muttering. "Ah Cheng, wait for me, I will definitely keep you safe. ”
......
This March in Daqi has been very unpeaceful, first there are apocalyptic boulders one after another, and then there are rumors and rumors, and the trouble is inexorable.
As for the Xiang clan, the clan quarreled because of the Tianshi that appeared in the boundary of their own family, and it was on the table of Yecheng Qihou.
"Smack!"
A roll of bamboo slips was smashed on the carved peony pattern of the red sandalwood table, in the magnificent hall, a beauty in her thirties, palace makeup brocade clothes stood behind the gorgeous couch, eyebrows upside down staring at the bamboo slips on the table, a pretty face was red with anger, and her lips were almost bitten blood.
"These useless animals! For the sake of merit, at this time, they don't even want the face of the Xiang clan! They dare to ask me to come here! Bastard! How can this be reasonable! How can this be reasonable!!"
"The queen is angry!" As soon as the beauty's words fell, the palace attendants in the hall knelt down in panic, and the beauty glared at them hatefully, and she was about to have a seizure.
At this time, a plain-clothed girl sitting at the bottom saw that the situation was not good, hurriedly got up and waved away the palace people, and stepped forward to salute Qi Hou. "The queen is angry, those are all short-sighted, if the queen is bored, ignore them, why bother to be angry about this matter and hurt your body?"
"Afu, it's not because I'm narrow-minded, look at it, look at it! Only now do I know that my Xiang clan disciples have all become people who chase fame and fortune! You say! How can I expect them to help Emperor Yang in the future? How can I keep the glory and prosperity of our Xiang clan?" Qi Hou gritted his teeth angrily, and shook his finger at the Jian Shudao on several cases. "Look at it!"
The girl named Afu stepped forward and picked up a few bamboo slips, opened them and looked at them carefully, and her beautiful brows slowly wrinkled.
"Indeed, it is over. Na Afu gently put the bamboo slip on the table, stepped forward to help Qi Lai sit down, knelt beside her gracefully and said softly. "The queen need not worry, since they let the queen call the shots, the queen will give them the rules. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Qi Hou's breath calmed down a little, and she looked at Afu with a puzzled expression.
"Queen, there are many children of the Xiang family, these people can only be regarded as mediocre among the sons-in-law, and their mother is not a prominent person, so they don't have to pay attention to it, since they are willing to listen to the queen's judgment, then the queen can let the side branch Xiang Kun escort the apocalypse boulder. Aph paused, rolled his eyes, and spoke softly again.
"In this way, firstly, these families can know the queen's prestige, and secondly, the mother of Xiang Kun is the sister of Mrs. Xi, in this way, Mrs. Xi also inherited the queen's favor, that Xiang Kun is also rumored to be a person who knows the etiquette thoroughly, and it is much more useful than those concubines. ”
After listening to what Afu said, Qi was a little pale, she thought for a while, and finally had a smile on her face.
"Yes, let that Xiang Kun escort, Mrs. Xi is the wife of General Chu's continuation, I heard that she has always been good friends with her sister...... Well, let's do it!Afu, take the brocade silk pen inkstone, and I'll reply to the clan elder!" The more Qi Hou spoke, the more cheerful he became, until his eyes bloomed with brilliance.
