The Palace of the King of Qiuzi

Liu Ye and the others have been gone for a few days and there is no news so far, King Qiuzi doesn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed, the princess who came from the Han Dynasty looks like a very shrewd woman, how could she make such a stupid bet with him in the first place! Thanks to her pride before leaving, she swore to rebuild the homes of the victims within three months, and the king almost believed her for a moment.

However, even if Princess Xie Wu can't realize her ambition, it doesn't matter, there is not much loss for him, anyway, a bet has been made between them, if Princess Xie Wu loses, compensation is something she should worry about. Aren't they big men rich, what can they get by taking out some money to save some face!

King Qiuzi is using his wishful thinking, the big and small sacrifices in the palace are still the same, and the rain has been lighter in recent days, maybe the princess's stupidity has relieved the gods! The three-month agreement was impossible to fulfill, and the so-called shrewd princess would have to pay the price for her ignorance.

After reciting the last verse, the believers behind the Southern Saintess opened their eyes one after another, seeing that the green smoke was slowly rising into the air, and the silver thread-like rain had a tendency to stop, and they couldn't help but smile one after another.

"Miko-sama, your prayer has been fulfilled, the spirit of God has arrived, and you see, the rain will soon stop."

The Holy Maiden nodded, still expressionless, and she returned to the temple to rest for a while, surrounded by the believers, and the king and queen waited outside the temple for a moment before she was invited into the temple.

"Mikome-sama!" The king bowed respectfully, took two steps forward, and asked softly, "I wonder if there's any movement over there?" ”

The "over there" in the king's mouth refers to the hard-hit area where Liu Ye went, as the saying goes, no news is good news, but what he wants is not good news, although it is about the people of Qiuzi, but he doesn't want to lose to that arrogant woman.

"She sent people to dig a few rivers to dredge the floodwaters, but other than that, nothing else was done." Nan Shengnu naturally knew what he was going to ask, and said truthfully.

"Digging a river?" The king repeated thoughtfully, looking at the Southern Saintess in bewilderment, "She's just digging a river?" Didn't do anything else? ”

"Nope." Nan Shengnu didn't even raise her eyelids, and said calmly, "The witch I sent follow them all the time, and they will tell me if there is any change, so far, they really have no other actions. ”

"However, you sent a witch boy with you, and even if you follow all the time, you can't guarantee that there will be a time to look away. If he falls asleep, how do you know what these people are doing! "The king has a slight complaint about the arrangement of the Southern Saintess.

Nansheng Maiden was unmoved, and the queen echoed: "Yes, I heard that Princess Xie Wu is not simple, full of ghost ideas, the third generation of Wusun old minister Ubuji was killed by her, as well as the Huns' horse dealer Wei Lu." These two people are both local figures, even in the entire Western Regions, they have some weight, who knows that they will be destroyed by a newcomer princess, which is really insidious and terrifying. This time she made a gambling contract with His Majesty, I don't know what kind of heart she has, the Han has coveted the Western Regions for a long time, I'm afraid it's not as simple as forming an alliance, isn't the king of Dawan elected by the Han court, I'm afraid that the Han won't be able to tolerate ......us at that time."

"Why are you going farther and farther, what you say is an afterthought, are you so sure she can win?" The king interrupted her impatiently and pointed to the southern saintess in front of her, "With the shrine maiden here, don't worry about anything, the gods will definitely bless us." That princess relied on her own cleverness and wanted to play tricks with this king, hmph, she was too tender. ”

The queen was silent, of course she was towards her husband, and she was unwilling to let Liu Ye have the upper hand if she died. Looking at her arrogant appearance, she wrote a large number of win-loss clauses, and said that if she wins, she will demolish all the altars of Qiuzi, which is simply lawless, isn't she afraid of punishment from the gods!

Thinking of this, the queen had another idea, and hurriedly said: "Mistress Witch, you may not know it, she made a covenant with Your Majesty, not only to make an alliance with the Great Han, but also to deal with you!" ”

The king glared at the queen weakly, fearing that the witch would know about this and blame him, but the queen did not pay any attention to him, and continued: "It is clearly written in the bet that if she wins, she will demolish all the altars and expel all the witches. Look, this is clearly aimed at you, she has never recognized her mistake, she has not taken God's warning to heart, and she has not taken you seriously! ”

"That's enough, haven't you finished speaking!" The king pushed her angrily, and he turned his face and cursed.

The queen flattened her mouth aggrievedly: "I'm also in a hurry, I can't get used to what she does." ”

The Southern Saintess raised her eyes to look at them, her jade eyes were mixed with a trace of displeasure, the king was so frightened that he knelt down, and hurriedly explained: "Lord Witch is angry, this king definitely has no intention of demolishing the altar to expel the witch, and the reason why he promised her is nothing more than that he believes that there is no possibility of losing this bet." This time she is determined to lose, and she is determined to give Qiuzi a large amount of compensation......"

"That's why you signed such a ridiculous bet with her." The Southern Saintess sneered, "Compensation? It turns out that in the eyes of His Majesty, God's gift is far less important than compensation. ”

Hearing this, the king's face turned white with fright: "No, no, this king has never thought about it that way...... The witch lady knows that this king truly believes in God, how dare he despise God's gifts, don't dare, don't dare to ......"

Seeing that the situation was serious, the queen also pleaded: "Miko Michael, we are so devout to God that we dare not have any dissent, Miko Maiden should not be angry, please forgive us for our sins......"

"Alright, get up!" The Holy Maiden Nan personally helped them up, "For the sake of your piety, the gods will not blame, I know this matter in my heart, and I will notify you immediately if there is any movement over there." ”

"Thank you, Lady Miko, thank you......" The king and queen wept gratefully, but fortunately the miko was not angry, otherwise they would have been in great trouble.

Seeing off the king and queen, the Holy Maiden pondered for a moment, wrote a letter and ordered it to be delivered, and walked out of the back door of the temple in a changed dress.

In the past few days that Yao Hulu has been tracking Tu Qitang, there have been no constructive discoveries except for knowing that he is a difficult person. Medicine gourd is not a person who gives up easily, and he will not easily believe in appearances, but he has been in the Western Regions for so long, and this common sense is still there. Usually when you want to give up, the truth is about to come out, and in the same way, the more people who seem unsuspecting, the more secret they hide.

The relationship between Tu Qitang and the Holy Maiden of Mingyue, the medicine gourd did not test out, but it is certain that Tu Qitang is very familiar with the Xiling Sect, and the statement that the sect leader died violently is to send away unsuspecting outsiders, and it is not difficult to know that the sect leader is not dead at all but missing. The identity of the missing sect leader is unknown, even the believers closest to the altar have not seen the true face of the sect leader, the only thing that is certain is that the relationship between the sect leader and the Bright Moon Holy Maiden is extraordinary.

Yao Hulu had a candidate for the sect leader in his heart, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was impossible, the person he thought of was not the same age, the experience was not the same as the personality, although he had a small ambiguity with the Mingyue Holy Maiden when he was young, but there was no reason to be the leader of the Xiling Sect because of this.

The person that Yao Hulu thought of was his bitter enemy for many years - the poisonous scorpion, the poisonous scorpion is a famous master of the rivers and lakes in the Western Regions, not only good at using poison, but also prohibitively strong in martial arts. The character of the poisonous scorpion is erratic, never according to common sense, I heard that when he was young, he was still a beautiful man, a dashing and handsome man, and there were countless women who fell under his robes, and he only fell in love with the Bright Moon Holy Maiden of the Xiling Sect, and was infatuated with her.

The emotional entanglement between the poisonous scorpion and the Bright Moon Holy Maiden has always been a joke talked about by people in the rivers and lakes, and they always have to take it out after dinner. One is a powerful figure in the rivers and lakes, and the other is a mysterious and unpredictable beautiful saintess, how can the emotional experience of these two not be amazing. Fortunately, they couldn't be together, otherwise there would be chaos in the rivers and lakes, and there were so many enemies of the poisonous scorpion, if he was really with the Holy Maiden of Mingyue, someone would definitely rush up the mountain to pacify the Lingjiao under the banner of anti-drugs.

The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon is the most powerful faction in the Xiling Sect, and the Xiling Sect has a rule that the Holy Daughter is not allowed to marry for life, if she is fascinated by the poisonous scorpion, she is destined to become the laughing stock of everyone. Not to mention that the Xiling Sect can't stay, even the Western Regions don't have a place for her to stand.

The two did not say the reason for the breakup, but everyone with a discerning eye knew that the poisonous scorpion was dumped by the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, and the person with deep affection was the saddest.

Since the last time he was lucky to beat the poisonous scorpion, the medicine gourd has been looking for his whereabouts, the poisonous scorpion has not been heard from for a long time, some people say that he is dead, some people say that he went to Dahan. The medicine gourd believes that he is not dead, the poisonous scorpion is a person who grew up in a poisonous jar, and he will not die if others die a hundred times, it is impossible for him to go to Dahan, he is absolutely infatuated with the Mingyue Holy Maiden, how can he be willing to run so far away, even if the two cannot be together, he is reluctant to stay so far away from her!

The medicine gourd was hidden in the bushes and thought for a long time, Tu Qitang turned his back to him and looked at the calm lake, not moving at all, as if he was practicing some internal strength. Yao Hulu is not in a hurry, anyway, he has time now, and it is no problem to keep an eye on people twenty-four hours a day.

At this time, a slender woman walked not far away, her palace maid was dressed in an extremely ordinary way, and she didn't look worth studying. It's just that her extraordinary temperament can't be ignored, not like a palace maid from a humble background.

She looked around vigilantly, if it weren't for the medicine gourd to breathe, she was afraid that she would be pulled out. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping around, the woman walked towards Tu Qitang, bowed slightly behind him, and said respectfully: "Sect Leader......"

Master? The medicine gourd chuckled in his heart, and almost didn't fall off the tree! This "sect leader" irritated him to the wind messy, Tu Qitang is the sect leader? Which sect is the leader? Could it be the leader of the Xiling Sect that he has been curious about for several years!

But how could he be so young? Is there really such an outrageous thing in the world?
