Chapter 324: Sacrifice

Father-in-law Rongde smiled bitterly and said, "Every time the wild king says this, it's not easy for the slave to reply to the emperor."

"Today is the death day of my mother." Chu Hanye said a word, and the chill on his face deepened.

Father-in-law Rongde's face changed, and then he immediately said, "The palace is ready for sacrifice. Why don't you go into the palace?"

Chu Hanye shook his head: "My mother died in the harem, and I guess I don't want to enjoy sacrifices in the harem."

Rongde's father-in-law thought about it and had to leave.

With this reason, I believe that the emperor will not be embarrassed.

It's just that Princess Yunmeng's side is not easy to solve. Now Princess Yunmeng and Chu Han get along more and more harmoniously, and often praise Chu Han for being a personable gentleman.

Princess Yunmeng's choice gradually tilted towards Chu Han, but Chu Hanye was still standing still, and even the opportunity for the two to meet was very rare.

The emperor saw it in his eyes and was very anxious in his heart. If Princess Yunmeng chose Chu Han in the end, what should he do?

The entire government and the opposition are watching this marriage at this time, and once it is not handled well, it will be a disaster.

At this moment, Yue Qingning and his party had just arrived at a border town.

After a long journey of twenty days, they were not in good spirits. Yue Qingning decided to take a day off in this small town to let everyone relax.

The town is very dilapidated, full of yellow mud houses, and it looks ugly.

Carved railings and painted buildings, which are only buildings in wealthy cities in the south, most of the places are mud houses, and it is very good to be able to live in them.

Yue Qingning has seen a lot along the way, and has also experienced the hardships of many low-level people. Although she didn't want to help the people of Limin, her compassion has not been extinguished, and when she sees it, she will always be a little unbearable.

Wu Xiong found an inn, which is said to be the best inn in the town. But the inn was in tatters, and a lantern hung outside the door, looking like a small lonely boat swaying in the wind and rain.

Yue Qingning was not picky, nor did she have to be picky. That's it for the best inns, and there is no better one to be picky.

All she wanted now was to soak her feet, drink some hot soup, and sleep soundly in the warm bed.

There are no guests in this small inn, and Yue Qingning's party is estimated to be the only time to pick up guests today.

The shopkeeper saw that these people's clothes were all of the best quality, and immediately greeted them with a smile

Wu Xiong stood at the front and communicated with the shopkeeper.

Although the shopkeeper's words had a strong accent, Wu Xiong could still hear them clearly. Yue Qingning couldn't do it, she could only half-listen and half-guess to figure out a rough idea.

This reminded her that if she wanted to go to Yunguo, she might have to find a tour guide and translator. If they didn't understand what Yunguo said, it would be quite embarrassing.

"A few guest officers, you sit down first, and the small one will make hot soup immediately. Let's have a little dinner first, and then go back to our rooms to rest, and save money and go up and down." The shopkeeper said, polishing a table shiny.

He brought another table and placed the luggage for everyone.

Yue Qingning sat down, glanced at the menu, and ordered a few hot noodle soups. There is nothing good to eat at this small shop, but the main thing is accommodation, and the food is all pasta dishes that are easy to preserve.

Wu Xiong asked for a little boiled meat and a bottle of wine, which was a dish he had to order every time.

He is not like Yue Qingning Xia He, who has to sit on the wheel to catch the carriage every day.

This wind and sun, if he doesn't eat a little wine, he will not be able to stand it.

As for Ah Qing, who is also exposed to the wind and sun outside, she eats very lightly and has a variety of flavors.

After the five of them were full, they went to the backyard with their luggage to rest.

Instead of building a second floor, the inn has housing in the backyard. The main reason is that the wind is strong here, the building is dangerously high, and the guests do not want to live on the second floor to be blown by the strong wind.

Yue Qingning and the others had just fallen asleep, and somehow, there was a sound of gongs and drums beating outside.

"Why are you still beating gongs and drums in the middle of the night? And that's not going to put people to sleep?" Yue Qingning complained and got up.

At the same time, Ah Qing jumped out of the window and quickly rushed to Yue Qingning's room.

Xia He and Xiao Changsheng also ran over, not knowing what was going on, their first consciousness was to quickly gather together.

"Where's Uncle Wu?" Yue Qingning asked at Xiao Changsheng.

"I'm asleep, I can't scream no matter how much I scream." Xiao Changsheng looked helpless, he had done his best.

Yue Qingning was a little depressed, but sleeping after drinking was also a major advantage of Wu Xiong.

"Sister Aqing, go and ask the shopkeeper, what's going on with this voice?" Yue Qingning had no choice but to let Ah Qing out.

Ah Qing glanced at everyone present and immediately jumped out.

After a while, the shopkeeper was arrested by Ah Qing.

"I didn't understand what I was saying, and I was afraid of wasting time, so I caught it directly." Ah Qing explained to Yue Qingning.

She wants to protect Yue Qingning, so she can leave soon.

Yue Qingning bowed slightly, and said to the panicked shopkeeper, "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. We just want to ask, what's going on with the gongs and drums outside?"

After some dancing explanations, Yue Qingning and the others finally understood.

There is a custom in this town that every three years on this day, they will select a woman and send her to a mountain not far away.

It is said that this mountain is red and different from other mountains. There lived a fairy on the mountain, and every three years she had to choose a woman to be her child. After three years, the female fairy will lead the boy to heaven to become a fairy.

This custom has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the residents of the surrounding villages hope to be selected, and then let their daughters go to heaven to become immortals, protecting their family from peace and prosperity.

After listening to this, Yue Qingning frowned.

She seems to have heard this story many times.

"That's complete nonsense." Yue Qingning was the first to express his objections.

Xia He glanced at her and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"If there are immortals, why are there so many misfortunes?" Yue Qingning asked

"This is a test from heaven." Shopkeeper said immediately, he felt that Yue Qingning's words were a little offensive to the mountain god.

Yue Qingning frowned, seeing that none of the people stood up to help her speak.

She immediately understood that this was not the vulgar thinking of one or two people, but the ignorance of the whole society.

The sound of gongs and drums gradually faded away, and after Yue Qingning left the shopkeeper, the others also went back to the room to rest.

However, Yue Qingning couldn't sleep, so she had to run to find Aqing.

Ah Qing didn't sleep, and when she saw Yue Qingning, she asked, "Still can't sleep?"

"Sister Aqing, I always feel that the matter of sacrificing to the mountain god tonight is not simple. I want to see it." Yue Qingning said.

Ah Qing frowned, she didn't want to make a fuss. However, since it was Yue Qingning's request, she couldn't refuse.

"Okay, I'll take you to see what happened." Ah Qing said, "I also want to meet this female fairy."

Yue Qingning nodded, and the two of them sneaked out of the window and chased in the direction where the voice had just disappeared.

After running all the way, Ah Qing realized that Yue Qingning, the eldest lady, was not bad, and she could run such a long way.

At this time, they heard the sound of gongs and drums again, and a tall mountain peak loomed in the night.

The two approached slowly, and saw that there were eight people in this team, four people carrying a sedan chair, and four people beating gongs and drumming suona. This team looks very bleak in the night, and the red sedan chair in it makes people feel even more eerie.

Yue Qingning and Ah Qing followed behind, watching the team gradually walk up the mountain road, and then enter a cave. The two of them followed in, and then found a hidden place to hide.

This cave is very large, there is an altar in the middle, four incense burners are placed at the four corners of the altar, wisps of green smoke are rising outward, the sedan chair is parked under the altar, and a woman in a big red flower dress is crying and crying, and is pulled up to the altar by an old slave.

Lao Ji seemed to be persuading the woman, and although the woman was bitter and sad, she had no intention of refutating it, and sat obediently in the center of the altar.

The old woman quickly left the altar, urging the team to turn around and leave, so as not to anger the immortals.

After the team left, the whole cave was much quieter.

Because there are several torches around the altar, the cave is very bright.

Yue Qingning couldn't help but wonder, where was that female fairy? Those incense burners and torches, no matter how she looked at them, didn't look like things that immortals would use.

Just when the two were confused, the woman sitting on the altar suddenly fainted.

The two glanced at each other, and Ah Qing immediately reminded in a low voice, "That green smoke is weird."

Yue Qingning immediately realized that it might be a misty incense.

The two quickly tore off the corners of their clothes and covered their noses. Ah Qing poured a pill for Yue Qingning and motioned for Yue Qingning to hold it in his mouth.

As soon as I took the pill, the sound of Han Hanzai came from inside the cave, and listening to it made people get goosebumps.

Yue Qingning and Ah Qing both pricked up their ears and looked at the altar quietly, not even daring to pant too heavily

After a while, two shadows entered from inside the cave, and they silently came to the altar.

"I heard that the woman who sent it today is very beautiful, I don't know if we have a chance to open meat too." A voice came, with a hint of obscenity in his tone.

Yue Qingning frowned and looked at Ah Qing.

Ah Qing immediately raised her finger and motioned for her not to speak. The cave was so quiet that they could be heard, no matter how small the sound was.

Yue Qingning nodded, she also understood this truth, but she was very curious in her heart

What she had just heard was obviously a man's voice, and the meaning of the words was clearly ill-intentioned towards the woman. This is a far cry from a fairy.

Soon there was another voice, much lower.

"You don't bother me, this woman has to take the lead before it's our turn." As he spoke, he walked up to the altar.

Yue Qingning and Ah Qing vaguely saw him pick up the sacrificial woman and turned around to leave.

Yue Qingning subconsciously grabbed Ah Qing's hand.

Ah Qing frowned, then shook his head slightly. She didn't want to put Ruoyue Qing in danger because of a strange woman. She knows very well that protecting Yue Qingning is her first priority, and saving others depends on the situation, like the current situation, she is unwilling to make a move.

Yue Qingning had no choice but to let go of her hand, she also understood Ah Qing's thoughts, and only by not causing trouble could she protect herself.
