It's the end of the year and Chinese New Year's Eve.

Today, the sky is also enough to enjoy the light, there is no snow and a breeze, and the sun is just right.

Early in the morning, the people of the whole city saw the current Suizhou Taishou Yan Lord, the garrison Lord, surrounded by a group of subordinate officials and thousands of soldiers and horses, came out of the Taishou Mansion and went straight to the east of the city.

Soon, a definite news spread, this is Lord Taishou will bring the people to the Zhang Hou Temple to worship incense, in order to ask Zhang Hou to bless the next year Suizhou everything goes smoothly, the wind and rain are smooth.

This made the people feel happy and reassured, does this mean that the chaos in the city for many months will come to an end, and everyone can finally live a stable life?

You must know that since the Central Plains was turbulent, Luoyang fell, and the Great Yue World suffered major changes, the custom of worshipping Zhang Hou on Chinese New Year's Eve, which had been maintained in Suizhou City for more than a hundred years, was abandoned.

Now that the new Taishou has reopened the sacrifice, at least for everyone, it is an uplifting signal that everything will be on the right track.

If it weren't for the fact that the surrounding area of Zhanghou Temple had been blocked by soldiers and horses at this time, I am afraid that many people would have to run together to join in the excitement and participate in the grand event.

As for this time, the vast majority of Suizhou people can only wait and see, looking forward to everything going well.

However, not everyone is unable to watch the progress of this sacrificial event with their own eyes, outside the Zhang Hou Temple, there are several restaurants, standing on a high place, just to see the situation over there.

However, because Suizhou City has experienced a series of changes and people's livelihood is in difficulty, even in such festivals, the business of the restaurant is still very bad.

Today, there are only a few dozen guests occupying the third floor at the top, drinking and laughing, while looking at the situation in the Zhanghou Temple not far below.

Among these people, naturally including Sun Ning and the three of them, who had re-entered the city the day before yesterday.

said that it was drinking, but it was just for show, and their whole minds had actually completely fallen on the inside and outside of the Zhang Hou Temple, including the mountain peak behind it.

Sun Ning's eyes were especially fixed on the halfway up the mountainside that was located at the back of the main hall of the ancestral hall, which was covered by a large pine tree, so that people could not see the inner Qiankun, and said softly: "It seems that they are planning to do something in this Hou Ancestral Hall today." ”

"Well, I can't imagine that these merchants are also decisive, not only do not choose to do it on a more convenient night, but also lead the target here. In this way, he thought that he had a mental calculation or not, and once the soldiers and horses in the city could not react, it was really possible to make them succeed. ”

Xiao Qian drank the wine in the cup and also expressed her judgment: "At present, their chances of success are not small." ”

Sun Ning nodded in agreement: "Yes, if they really hide the soldiers and horses in the ancestral hall, and take advantage of the sacrifice of these officials, they will suddenly kill them, which is enough to lay the victory in one fell swoop." ”

Yan Yifei was both expectant and a little disappointed: "This result is naturally very good, but in this way, we will be useless." ”

He worked so hard to refine zombies, and he wanted them to show their might and kill the enemy, but now he doesn't even have a chance to make a move.

Sun Ning's eyes continued to stare at the mountains and forests high in front of him, and he only said softly: "I'm just afraid that things may not go as smoothly as we thought." ”

"yes." Xiao Qian also nodded, "Then since Yan Ke and Fang Xiang took Suizhou by launching a mutiny, they will definitely take more precautions against this." In today's scene, it's really hard to say who is in whose calculations. ”

"Huh?" Seeing that the two of them expressed their worries, Yan Yifei was really confused, "Will there be variables?" ”

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Sun Ning continued to observe the front, but his face became more and more solemn.

Because the time has come to three o'clock, it is the auspicious time of the sacrifice, and if there is to be an accident, it is almost time.

Xiao Qian looked at it but was more relaxed than him, and suddenly spoke at this time: "By the way, do you know who Zhang Hou is enshrined in this ancestral hall?" ”

Sun Ning was slightly stunned, and then introduced: "Zhang Zhongyuan, a famous minister during the Taizong period of this dynasty, although he is a native of Qingzhou in the north, he served as an official in Suizhou, made decisions for the people, and killed dozens of local bullies, so that the atmosphere in Suizhou was suppressed.

So later, the people were grateful for his kindness, and built such an ancestral hall for him here, and people continued to come to worship and express their gratitude.

"And as Zhang Zhongyuan continued to make meritorious contributions later, expanded his territory, attacked the ghost Rong in the north, and became a marquis, the Zhang Gong Ancestral Hall here has become today's Zhang Hou Ancestral Hall......

Speaking of this, Sun Ning was stunned again, is it a coincidence that the He family put the key point of the incident here, or is it to use Zhang Hou's prestige and spirit in the sky?

And at this moment, in the ancestral hall below, the originally solemn and orderly scene has suddenly changed.

……

Just a moment ago, it was business as usual inside and outside the ancestral hall.

Under the leadership of Yan Ke, everyone solemnly entered the main hall, facing upwards in red robes, hanging a long sword from their waists, and worshipping incense on the statue of an extraordinary sitting statue, all of them chanting words and praying endlessly.

Ni Yongdao, who was behind several officials, suddenly swept his gaze left and right, and quickly communicated with several attendants in the ancestral hall.

After seeing them nod slightly, a resolute light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he immediately took a step forward and shouted: "Zhang Hou is above, the grass people follow the people of the state on my behalf, and there is something to report!" ”

This sudden sentence broke the solemn atmosphere in the hall and made everyone's eyes focus on this bold and rude businessman.

At this time, Ni Yongdao couldn't care about anything else, and said loudly to himself: "Today, there are traitors and evil people, Yan Ke, Fang Xiang and others, for their own selfishness, they actually committed chaos and killed innocents, which led to a rumor in the whole city, and thousands of soldiers and civilians died, and even made the people of the city suffer from oppression, and they dared not speak out......

"Please also ask Zhang Hou to have a spirit in the sky, who can help us and other people in Suizhou, cut off this fang and its comrades, so that I can restore stability and prosperity in Suizhou!"

As soon as the words fell, the others had decisively flashed to the side, and outside the small doors on both sides of the main hall, a burst of shouts suddenly sounded, and hundreds of people and horses had quickly grabbed up and pounced on a cadre of officials who were standing in the hall.

Although these people are only wearing the clothes of their attendants, just looking at their determination to kill and the courage of their actions, it can be seen that these people are all people in the army with rich combat experience.

In the blink of an eye, they had rushed through the door, rushed to the officials, and the bright weapons were about to beckon to the target.

Everything developed according to the expectations of He Ni and others, just looking at the performance of those officials who were at a loss, and looking at the solemn and wooden appearance, they only felt that today's move had been successful, that is, between breaths, it was visible.

The sword light, at this moment, suddenly rose-
