"Thank you for the rescue!"

Seeing that the man in black was dead and fleeing, the people of the surrounding fishing villages rushed up and knelt down in front of Li Ran.

"Fathers and fellow villagers don't have to be polite. Li Ran waved his hand, pointed to Xiao Wan'er on the side, and said, "It's not me who saves you, but Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess of our Daxuan, this is her will." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they were all surprised in their hearts, they didn't expect the four princesses to come to this remote coastal village?

Moreover, although they live by the sea and are located in a remote area, they have also heard of the famous name of the little princess in the imperial capital, and the girl in front of them is jealous and hateful, and her heart is kind, which is not at all consistent with the legend!

Where is this little devil who kills people and sets fires, this is clearly a fairy who crosses the world!

All of a sudden, they all bowed to Xiao Wan'er and bowed: "Thank you for saving your life, Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess!"

Xiao Wan'er was embarrassed for a second and said, "Everyone...... Everybody, get up, right...... Why did those black-clothed warriors throw these young ladies into the river? But at who's the behest?"

Everyone sighed and stopped.

"But it doesn't hurt to say. Li Ran said calmly: "Our Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, although she has lived in the imperial palace for a long time, she is always worried about the suffering of the people, if you have any difficulties, you might as well say it, her old man will definitely make decisions for you!"

When Xiao Wan'er heard this, her face turned red, and then she secretly grabbed Li Ran, and muttered in a low voice: "You are old, you are old and ugly." ”

Wei Yuhong and all the rainbow envoys saw it in their eyes, and their hearts were all dark, this Lord Li was helping his family's little national teacher establish his people's prestige!

"Your Highness, ......" There was an old and sad voice from the crowd, and the crowd dispersed, and an old man who was over the age and shriveled walked over tremblingly with a cane.

"The old gentleman is ......," Li Ran asked first.

"Back to the official, the old man is the village chief of this night ancient village. The old man handed over the cane to others, and was about to kowtow, Li Ran quickly helped him up.

"Old gentleman, tell the Fourth Highness what happened here, and whether those black-clothed people are Wushuang of the Martial Arts. Li Ran asked.

The old man shook his head and said: "Back to the official, five years ago, after the imperial court classified our Yegu Village into Lord Xie's fiefdom, an old monk who called himself "Lord Lu Lai" was sent above, who is said to be a close friend of Lord Xie's Buddhism, to govern our twenty villages and market towns along the coast, but since he came, the seaside has begun to be unpeaceful, and the fishermen who go to sea are either missing or infected with incurable diseases. ”

"And then? Could it be that you met a pirate?" Wei Yuhong on the side couldn't help but ask.

The old man shook his head and said: "This kind of panic lasted for about half a month, and there were as many as hundreds of missing people, and suddenly one day, this monk Lulai gathered thousands of villagers near us, saying that he had found a solution...... And it is the ...... that is the sacrifice It's ......"

Speaking of this, the old man was emotionally broken, and he couldn't go on, and the people around him were speechless and weeping.

"It's a virgin girl, isn't it?" Li Ran said thoughtfully.

The old man sighed, and the old tears were all over his face, which could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"What! This damn stinky monk is obviously lying to you......! How can you joke with human life!" Xiao Wan'er reprimanded urgently.

At this time, I only heard another older villager say: "Her Royal Highness the princess is happy and angry, at first...... At first, we didn't believe it, but the monk Lulai sent hundreds of warriors to surround the village and forcibly capture a girl as a "human sacrifice......".

"Just what?" Li Ran seemed to sense something.

"It's just that they all seem to have committed evil spirits, and when they go home, they don't eat or sleep like walking corpses, and their eyes are wide open, and they lie on the ground, and by now, there are more than 200 people lying in the ancestral hall compound in the village......

The villager said with trepidations: "So the monk Lulai said again that after a month, if the next sacrifice is not carried out, the evil gods in the sea will still climb to the shore....... Come and hook the soul ......"

"So you believe?" Li Ran said, "Come to such a human sacrifice once a month?"

The old village chief lamented: "The official doesn't know, let's ...... We're helpless......"

"Something like this has happened, you ...... Won't you report it to the top and tell the court!" Xiao Wan'er said hurriedly.

"The princess doesn't know, we have found the county lord more than once, and he also attaches great importance to it, but every time he reports to the top, he will be pressed down, and after a few times, he can't do anything, so this matter will naturally be over...... Ay. ”

"Hmph, who is so bold! dare to maliciously conceal the people's feelings, and tell this princess that I will definitely ask the mother emperor to cut off his dog's head!" Xiao Wan'er said angrily.

The villagers looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something, but they didn't dare.

"Your Highness, you don't have to ask them. Li Ran sneered: "The history of the state assassin of Leiyun Prefecture, Sima Hong is the protégé of the prime minister of the dynasty, plus this is the territory of Wujue Xie Wushuang, and his son has a close relationship with a certain royal figure, why can't this matter be spread, it goes without saying." ”

"You...... You mean my eldest sister?" Xiao Wan'er finally thought of something.

At this time, the news of the rescue of the human sacrifice just now has been spread, and the people of ten miles and eight villages have surrounded it like a tide, and the entire seaside, including the nearby walled building, is densely packed with people, their eyes are looking forward to it, looking at the girl who is surrounded by everyone, as if looking at the living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Ran lightly held Xiao Wan'er's hand, jumped up to the highest walled building, and looked around the audience:

"Listen, this one next to me is Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess of Daxuan, her old man loves the people like a son, has the mind of a heavenly maiden, and knows the suffering of your fellow villagers, not far away, rushed to this place, this time will definitely wipe out the demons, and return Leiyun Prefecture to a bright future!"

"Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, Chitose!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess!"

"May the four princesses be blessed forever!"

When thousands of people heard this, they bowed down with tears and praised sincerely, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

"Princess, have you seen this, this is the will of the people. Li Ran pointed to the people kneeling down in a piece, black and oppressive, and said softly to the girl next to him: "It belongs to your people's heart." ”

Li Ran ...... I ......" Xiao Wan'er tightened her sleeve, bit her lip, and said with a firm face: "I want to save them!

Li Ran knelt on one knee, lifted the girl's gorgeous sleeves, kissed the back of her hand, and said happily: "I am willing to serve you, my Highness." ”
