Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Sacrificial Ritual
"The prince is really knowledgeable, that's right, they call this a heavenly burial. We didn't know about it at the time, we just thought that this valley was ordinary, so we wanted to go in and take a walk, and then we were taken away by the soldiers of the Lingzhi Country. ”
"Where's it going?"
"The temple of Nyingchi country, see the high priest of Lingzhi. In Nyingchi, the high priests were the heads of a kingdom and they worshipped a deity called Demo. ”
"Demo? Have you ever seen this statue of a god or something? ”
Li Lin had never heard of the name of this god, but Nyingchi's funeral and their political system were very similar to Tibet, so he was curious.
"I hadn't seen the idol, and after I confessed my identity, they took me to a cave and told me to drink some strange liquid. I don't know what kind of liquid it is, but it stinks...... After that, by shaking the bell in my hand, they were able to make me feel a sharp pain, and life was better than death......"
How is "......" getting more and more supernatural, in Li Lin's cognition, the most reliable price comparison that can be achieved is the Gu poison technique.
"Could it be that this Nyingchi country is more similar to these places in Yunnan?" Li Lin couldn't help but think.
"Have you ever seen them raise poisonous insects?"
Ning Chuan shook his head, suddenly coughed violently, and a random mouthful of blood spurted out.
Li Lin hurriedly went up to help Ning Chuan pat his back, and Ning Chuan shook his hand.
The prince smiled, this is the method of Lin Zhiguo...... You have to get medicine from them every month to survive, otherwise that's how it ......"
"It's more and more like a Gu poison technique...... Li Lin is even more sure of his opinion in his heart.
"Then ...... you now" Li Lin wanted to care about Ning Chuan, but imagining that he was already in a mortal situation, he would definitely not be able to forgive him, which would seriously damage his prestige.
"Haha, the prince doesn't have to be like this, I know the current situation very well." Ning Chuan also smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Is the same with the prime minister?"
Ning Chuan nodded.
Li Lin nodded, already knowing in his heart that the contradiction between himself and Fang Xin was also reconciled, and he only hoped that he could solve the problem before the incident and avoid implicating more people.
"Lord Wang, this handsome side is because he is eager to save his son, so he temporarily raised troops, Fang Xin's layout has indeed been planned for a long time, the original plan was that Fang Xin's side first got complete control of the court, and then relied on my prestige in the army to unify the army."
"Purpose? What is the purpose of Nyingchi? ”
"I don't know...... But they wanted to let Great Xia declare war on the Jin Kingdom and the East China Sea after they completely controlled Great Xia. ”
"This ...... Nyingchi doesn't seem to have any new or old hatreds with these countries. ”
"I don't know, they are cautious...... Before, Mo Guoshi was disguised as a young man by my side, and I haven't seen what he looks like. ”
"Hiss......" is disguised, this person in Nyingchi is really a little supernatural.
"Then did you know that there are old men among them?"
Ning Chuan shook his head again.
"Except for Nyingchi Kingdom, the people I have seen in Nyingchi Country are only Mo Guoshi. I haven't seen anyone who is docking with Fang Xin. ”
"The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light. They are hiding in the shadows of their hearts, and they have no way to start. Li Lin thought to himself.
"Lord Wang, that's all I know...... Can you give this medicine to Ning Yun, without this medicine, he would have died within three days. ”
Ning Chuan's eyes flashed with tears, although he still failed, it would be good for Ning Yun to live for a while longer......
"Ning Guogong, this king said ...... before"
"Lord Wang, I naturally understand what you mean, it's not to ask for your life, it's just ...... As a father, I just want my son to live a few more days. ”
Ning Guogong said, and the branch knife sat up and slowly knelt down.
Li Lin helped Ning Guo's body to kneel.
"Grandpa Guo doesn't have to be like this, it's good for this king, and this king naturally agrees, but ......"
"Lord Wang, I only hope that you can let Ning Yun and his family see each other again, and don't let him leave regrets......"
Li Lin knew that if he took Ning Cheng back, he would definitely have to go through the regular triage of the three divisions, and during that period, a large number of people would intercede with Ning Yun. He can know who is Ning Chuan's supporter in the army by looking at who intercedes with Ning Yun, and he can also better complete the army reform plan.
"Okay, please rest assured. There is one more thing, Fang Zhiling should ......"
"Lord Wang, this marriage can be dissolved, this Fang Zhiling is the medicine I prepared to leave to Ning Yun......"
"Sacrifice? Does Ning Yun know? ”
Ning Chuan shook his head.
"I don't know...... But all he felt about Ling'er was that she was very fragrant and delicious. Master Mo said that this was caused by Ning Yun's treatment, and Ling'er's birth date was completely the same as the person who used it as a medicine before, so he would have such an attraction to Ning Yun. ”
"This ......" Li Lin smiled bitterly and was speechless, at this time he didn't know if it was time to pity poor Fang Zhiling.
"Fang Xin doesn't know either?"
"He knows...... But he did not object. ”
"Why? Don't you want any of his own daughters? ”
After hearing this, Li Lin was inexplicably surprised by Fang Xin's reaction, and completely ignored the calf-licking feelings, what was the hidden meaning behind it?
Ning Chuan shook his head.
"Originally, he was also doting on Ling'er, but after attending the banquet where Yun'er recovered with my palace before, his attitude changed, and I don't know the reason during this period."
Li Lin thought about it, this can't be done, the intelligence network of the secret guard is still too poor, and he has no clue at this time......
"No, this time I will go back to my own secret guard reform and the integration of Jinyi Guard."
Li Lin was annoyed by the lack of information about himself, and also had some frowns about the reform after the secret guard and the brocade guard.
The two of them basically didn't have anything to say, and the scene was a little awkward.
"Ning Guogong...... This king will give you a prosperous Great Xia, and show you an army that is strong enough to sweep the world. ”
Li Lin was the first to speak, saluting Ning Guogong as he spoke.
"Okay, then the old minister will watch the moment when your majestic cause is achieved in the sky."
He also returned the salute.
Li Lin didn't say much, turned around and left with his own personal guards, and also let go of more than a dozen personal guards in Ningchuan.
The guards instantly surrounded Ning Chuan's side.
Ning Chuan looked at Li Lin's departing back, and secretly thanked him, the other party gave him the dignity of death, and did not pull himself back to the camp to behead him in public, which can be regarded as a death on the battlefield.
As he spoke, he wiped his blade, still flickering with cold light, which was breathtaking. But he is already in his twilight years, and he is about to die.
"Knife, knife, you have been with me for many years, and today I will give you a great achievement."
After speaking, he raised his knife and killed himself, simply and sharply.
More than a dozen guards saw everything in their eyes, and no one stepped forward, they couldn't discredit their handsome, and at this time, they guessed the glory of their handsome horse's life.
After Ning Chuan fell, they collectively knelt down and kowtowed three times to Ning Chuan.
Then they all drew their swords and killed themselves, and the guards were the most trusted and powerful people of the general, and it was a great insult to them that the lord died and the ministers lived.
Half an hour later, when the people of the Beijing army cleaned up the battlefield, they brought Ning Chuan's body back to Xia Zhi City, which was also arranged by Li Lin, he didn't want this general who had made great achievements for Great Xia to die in a foreign land.
