Chapter 9: Listen to slander and sacrifice the dragon king in advance!

On the second day, the west exit of the vegetable market.

"Hey, Aunt Zhang, did you see it yesterday? The Xuanhe River is shining with gold, as if there is something! ”

The hand that was dressing the dish stopped, and there was a bit of sarcasm on his yellow face, "It's not!" First, we were eating, and when we heard that loud noise, my family fell out of bed in fright! ……”

Before he finished speaking, the old man who was busy beside him was dissatisfied: "Don't laugh at me, something big will definitely happen this time, I can predict it!" ”

"Cut, you have to be able to predict that we can still suffer this hardship and this sin with you? Just admit that you are cowardly! Aunt Zhang didn't cut her face.

"You ......" the old man was about to refute, and Aunt Li, who was selling vegetables, said mysteriously: "Don't say it, it's really a big deal, and the older people have heard such a legend: The Dragon King was sent to the world by the Emperor of Heaven because he forgot to give rain, and let it guard the people here!" ……”

Another curious head thrust in, "Yes, my grandmother once told me, and said that our country has never been attacked by other countries, just because of the protection of the Dragon King!" ”

An aunt couldn't help but ask: "Then you said that the cliffs by the Xuanhe River broke up this time, and the river changed, what is going on?" ”

"Hey! Isn't this clear, it means that the dragon king and his old man are angry, thinking that we are too late to give him a tribute this time, reminding us! ”

After speaking, everyone was shocked, and there was a look of fear on their faces, which girl was going to be unlucky again this time.

"Look, what do I say, you don't believe me!" The old man said to Aunt Zhang in a snort, fortunately, there are two boys in their family.

It was rumored that the dragon king was angry and needed to sacrifice to the gods.

In the palace, above the court, it was quiet and solemn, and in the main hall, the ministers of the four elements were densely packed, and they were just standing with their heads bowed.

Looking around, the emperor slowly spoke, "Zhong Aiqing, what do you have to report to the court today?" ”

Everyone in the hall was full of sorrow and hesitated to speak.

"Why is Aiqing's face so ugly? Could it be that something big is happening? The Emperor's brow furrowed, dissatisfied with their performance.

An old minister walked out, looking loyal and honest. "Eh, Emperor Qiqi, there was a change in the Xuanhe River yesterday, and the cliffs on the side turned into meteorites, and the bottom of the river shone with golden light, shining in the sun, I don't know what it is!"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? "The emperor was surprised, the cliff was unclimbable, extremely steep, and had always been known as an iron wall, how could it be easily broken?

The ministers nodded yes, the emperor's brows furrowed, looked at the national teacher standing on the side and asked, "What does the national teacher think about this matter?" ”

The national teacher walked forward with a smile and saluted, "Your Majesty, it seems that it is the will of God to sacrifice in the Xuanhe River in advance!" ”

The ministers quietly exchanged glances and began to secretly exchange heads, and the emperor frowned, "How do you say this?" ”

The national teacher smiled and was full of energy, "The Xuanhe River is the main river of our country, representing the lifeblood of the country, it has already had spirituality, and this change is to remind us that the Xuanguo will have a difficulty!" ”

Hearing this, all the ministers were shocked, and the emperor was also stunned, and almost fell off the dragon chair, "National teacher, what should I do in your opinion?" ”

"Oh, it's not difficult to do, it is said that the Xuan River is the river where the dragon king inhabits, and we may be too late to deliver the sacrifice this time, this time we need to hurry up the sacrifice to the dragon king to soothe its restlessness! Fortunately, the Dragon King was able to stabilize and prosper, but it was only angry, and it did not leave or cause other disasters, so the sooner we sacrificed to the gods, the better, so that it would not move again! ”

your dragon king's wrath! Long Xiao was furious and took a step forward, "The difference between what the national teacher said, this incident is purely a coincidence, although the cliff is strong, but after all, it is the body of a rock, it has been exposed to wind and rain for a long time, it is inevitable to weather, plus yesterday's thunder fell from the sky, the cliff was split into a meteorite, and the golden light in the lake was also because the emperor was benevolent and restricted the excessive salvage of the Xuan River, resulting in the scallop pearls being able to grow, and yesterday's sky turned from cloudy to clear, the sea was turbulent, and all kinds of flashes floated on the surface of the river, which would produce such a dazzling light!" ”

After saying this, there is indeed some truth, but the emperor is still a little hesitant, the ministers heard the two sides of the argument, already know the intentions of the two, the rebuttal stopped, all of them were frightened, the expression on their faces was extremely rich, clear, suspicious, worried......

The national teacher smiled: "Prince Xuan's speculation is also somewhat reasonable, but are you willing to gamble with the lives of the whole country, Your Majesty?" Your Majesty, please think twice! ”

After bowing respectfully, the emperor was terrified, he is the king of a country, of course, he must consider the people of the whole country.

"Your Majesty, you can't do anything that hurts your life by sacrificing to the gods anymore......" Seeing that the emperor bowed his head and was making a decision, Long Xiao was eager to say a few more words, but was interrupted by the national teacher, "Lord Xuan, is it better to sacrifice one person, or to lose so many lives from all over the country, please give the emperor a little time to think about it, I believe the emperor will definitely make the right decision!" ”

The emperor's hand holding the dragon chair was wet with sweat, and he asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, what do you think?" ”

Long Xiao's gaze swept to the ministers, expecting someone to stand up and stand on the same front with him.

The ministers in the hall sighed, but they didn't dare to stand up and resist loudly, they all knew that the national teacher was a ruthless character, and what he said was not unreasonable, and it was also for the sake of the whole country, and for a while the ministers had no idea, bowed their heads to avoid the fiery eyes of Prince Xuan, trembling, and did not dare to speak.

The national teacher said quietly: "Your Majesty, the ministers mean to support your decision!" ”

This time, he threw the fireball into the emperor's hand, gritted his teeth, and the emperor decided, "Then do what the national teacher said, this time the sacrifice to the gods is a big matter, and I will hand it over to the national teacher to do it!" ”

"The emperor thinks twice!" Long Xiao frowned and stopped, but to no avail. "Don't say any more, I've already decided, if there's nothing to do, I'll leave!"

With a wave of his hand, all the ministers left one after another, only to say that it was the will of heaven and that there was nothing they could do! Long Xiao was even more anxious about this, but the emperor couldn't listen to him at all, and these ministers were all rats, brave and incompetent.

Long Xiao walked towards King Xuan's Mansion, his steps heavy.

"The prince is back!" The subordinate greeted him respectfully, but saw that the prince who was always kind in the past, but today he had an indifferent expression, ignoring him and leaving, he was full of doubts, and he didn't know what happened to the prince.

"Xiao, what happened, why is your face so ugly?" Xia Shiming came out of the back room, looked at his sad face, and was a little surprised, could it be that there was an unpleasant encounter with the national teacher in the court today?

Long Xiao walked into the study without saying a word, and Xia Shiming followed, looked around, and closed the door.

"What the hell is going on, Xiao, you're going to kill me!" Xia Shiming said eagerly.

Long Xiao pursed his lips, and finally said: "That national teacher bewitched the emperor to use people to sacrifice the river again!" ”

"How so?" Xia Shiming was taken aback, he was already surprised to sacrifice in Xuanhe, and now this sacrifice actually uses a living person.

"He attributed the changes in Xuanhe to the dragon king's anger, and he needed to live a good life to worship, the emperor was mediocre and incompetent, and listened to his slander!" Long Xiao's brows furrowed into a big Sichuan character, the matter of this sacrifice was handed over to the national teacher to deal with it all, and I am afraid that there was more than one person who died.

"Huh? Dragon King? Isn't that you? Xia Shiming's mouth was startled, and his eyes were round, which was too well choreographed.

Long Xiao smiled bitterly, "Xuan Junyao, you scourge spirit......"

"Ahh Could it be you! In the princess's mansion, Xuan Junyao, who was lying on the bed and snorting melon seeds, looked at the innocent palace maid and asked unsurely.

"Ah...... What do you say, princess? The palace maid looked at her blankly.

"Uh...... Nothing, it's boring to death! As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a summons from the eunuch outside the door.

"The emperor has arrived!!" This sound can make Xuan Junyao depressed, this emperor is a veritable scourge of thousands of girls, is the most disfigured person, and it is indeed the most incapable of doing it, no way, who let this person be her own father, or the emperor of this Xuanguo, if she is disfigured, it will be a disaster to the country and the people, a rebellious person, I really see the pain of not being able to do it!!

"My daughter asks her dad for peace, everything is fine, don't send it slowly!" Xuan Junyao, who continued to lie on the bed and erect the corpse, didn't care about the etiquette at all, and didn't care at all what the emperor would think of him.

"Hey, you girl, you eat and sleep all day long, and eat when you sleep, no wonder you look like this, I really feel sorry for your mother, obviously the first beauty in the world, how can I give birth to a baby daughter who will ......" Speaking of this, the emperor himself couldn't bear to continue to scold.

"Come on, come on, I will introduce to you, this is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Luoyu, because of physical reasons, has been recuperating in his hometown in Jiangnan, this time I happened to enter Beijing, thinking that you are the same age, you should be able to talk about it, by the way, learn from others, how to lose weight!" It is estimated that he couldn't stand Xuan Junyao's rude attitude, and the beautiful male emperor directly withdrew all the eunuchs and palace maids, and drove back to the palace, leaving the two girls to look at each other.

"The beauty of the person, the figure is great, you have won, beauty!" The girl was dressed in a white dress like a light veil, as if she was in the fog of smoke, and she seemed to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, except for a black hair, her whole body was snow-white, and her face was beautiful and vulgar, which was really not enviable.

"Hehe, you're so cute, how did you eat this body!" The girl seemed to be unintentionally sarcastic about Xuan Junyao's figure. It's a pity that a certain woman didn't understand!

"Cute? Are you sure? You're the first person to praise me, thank you, but how to eat this body, I really don't know, as soon as I wake up, I'll be like this! I really want to be thin, but I can't eat enough! Talking about his troubles in distress, he didn't notice the girl in front of him, and her face was twitching.

"Uh, hehe, I heard that you seem to have been very close to King Xuan of King Xuan's Mansion recently, right?" The girl carefully probed.

"Come, sit down, why are you so restrained, you say that guy? Hmph, sooner or later it will be my subordinates who will be defeated, dare to hide from me, see how long you can hide, sooner or later you will be disfigured successfully! ”

"Disfiguring !!" The girl's exclamation frightened Xuan Junyao and almost fell off the bed.

"Hey, why are you so excited, don't worry, I will succeed, so that I can save thousands of simple and ignorant little girls like you!" Completely ignoring the girl's increasingly gloomy face, Xuan Junyao still thought that he would be the next savior.

"Do you really think you're a character? Amusing! The girl's muttering, Xuan Junyao didn't hear it.

On the contrary, he also warmly invited the girl to tell herself what she had seen and heard, otherwise it would be too boring all day.

Although she was reluctant in her heart, considering that this was the palace and the person in front of her was the emperor's most painful baby third princess, the girl could only obey, but slowly, she found that this Xuan Junyao was a big-chested and brainless master, and a plan slowly arose in her heart.

"Let me tell you a story, there is a legend in our Xuan Kingdom, which says in the classics that the Dragon King was sent to the world by the Emperor of Heaven because he forgot to give rain, so that he could protect the people here, which is also the reason why other countries have never broken through the Xuan Kingdom, so everyone will sacrifice to the gods on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival." Looking at Xuan Junyao, who was curious about the baby, the woman knew that the plan would definitely succeed!

"Mid-Autumn Festival, isn't that tomorrow? Is this sacrifice to the gods, like what was staged on TV, killing pigs and sheep? Thrown into the river like this? After hearing this story, Xuan Junyao was so happy, and there was more excitement to make up.

"TV? What's that? Killing pigs and sheep? How is it possible, the sacrifice to the god here has now been changed to throw a pure girl into the river and honor the dragon god in order to keep the peace! Although she didn't understand what Xuan Junyao said, for the success of her conspiracy, the girl continued to explain.

"Fart, is that called a sacrifice to the gods? This is called murder, they don't understand it, it's so hateful, it's just a king's law. ”

"Heh, what do they know, they really think that if they lose someone, they will keep the world peaceful, it is this ignorant practice that will cause anger, since they are all said to be the dragon king, it must be for the benefit of the people, how can there be a reason to eat and converge? Unless it's a monster, ignorant and ignorant! "It's all you stupid humans who make Brother Xiao angry every time and make me angry!

"Well said, so that science is underdeveloped, and superstition and lack of progress are the most fundamental factors that make the Chinese go downhill, arrogant, arrogant, self-indulgent, greedy for money and lustful, which is not complete? What a stupid stupidity! ”

"What do you say, princess? Why can't I understand a word? Because Xuan Junyao was so excited, he forgot that he had crossed over, and he was no longer a new human in the twenty-first century.

"Oh, it's nothing, just talk about it, by the way, isn't there anyone to supervise this matter? The emperor doesn't deal with it either? ”

"Well, the person who supervised it was the national teacher of the dynasty, and the form of this sacrifice to the gods was also proposed by him, but the person who finally gave the consent was indeed the emperor, and the reason why you didn't know it seemed that it was because I was worried that you would be scared, so I kept it secret! After all, the reputation of this sacrifice is not very good! ”

"Damn, how can this be, what's your name, beauty? I have made a friend of yours, it seems that in this palace, only you dare to tell me the truth. ”

"My name is Luoyu, but don't forget again, the place of worship to the gods is in the Xuanhe River in the north of the city, the time is suddenly advanced, it should be located tomorrow night, the beginning of reincarnation, okay, I have to go back to the house, and I will visit you again in a while." As long as you're alive.

Looking at the brainless Xuan Junyao, Luoyu could only sigh in her heart that her life was not good, who was not good to move, and the people who dared to touch her, wasn't she looking for death?

"Eun, good Lak, then you go slowly, tomorrow I will tell you my record, the third princess is out, who will compete!" Hearing this, when he walked into the entrance, he was almost knocked down by thunder, and he was really fearless for the ignorant......
