The main hall of the palace has little smoke.

Tea was already optimistic, and the seven county guards in official uniforms stood respectfully in front of the ranks, their eyes focused on an old man in rags on the upper seat.

Meng Xu'an hugged into the hall, and the seven adults saluted one after another, but the old man didn't move.

Standing behind Meng Xu'an, Ye Yao couldn't help but look at him secretly. This person has an ordinary appearance, and through the unkempt and dirty hair, a half-closed eye can be vaguely seen between the foreheads.

This ordinary mortal actually opened the eyes of heaven!

It should be the "Great Witch" that the inner servant said.

The aristocrats of Daxia believed in the state religion "Mixed Yuan Sect", while the common people of Li mostly worshiped "witches". "Great witches" are the heads of the folk witches, they do not have the inheritance of master and apprentice, father and son, but thousands of years of endure, born to communicate with the gods, can be said to be the "priesthood" of God.

It turned out that the eyes of heaven were opened, no wonder they could communicate with the Protoss. Ordinary mortals can't open it themselves, is it the same as the "Emperor Ding", this kind of mortal is the chain of communication between immortals?

While she was thinking wildly, the old man suddenly turned his head to look at her, and at the same time stood up with a "poof-" at the same time.

Ye Yao was startled, with the lotus bead bracelet suppressed, he was almost no different from a mortal, could it be that he still saw through his identity......?! So powerful!

"That-"

The old man's fingertips were covered with dirt, and his whole body trembled.

Everyone looked in Ye Yao's direction, and even she herself raised her head in the direction of Da Wu's fingertips.

Sword Spirit!

A crimson beam of light hung overhead.

It turned out to be it......

Almost scared to death!

This guy is Meng Xu'an's, and it has nothing to do with her.

Having said that, after all, behind his back, he just wanted to shirk it, but he heard Meng Xu'an say: "Princess, this king and your lords have important matters to discuss. You and Jiaxi go down first. ”

The so-called "big witch" is eccentric, and he has a heavenly eye, I don't know how many catties and taels it has, Ye Yao can't wait to leave quickly. She wrapped the thin blanket in her hand around Meng Xu'an and said: Don't catch a cold anymore, prince. He hurriedly saluted and turned to leave.

Lu Jiaxi was a little reluctant, and he saluted slowly, but he couldn't open his legs for a long time.

"Wait—" the Great Witch suddenly shouted.

Ye Yao was startled, "You called me?"

"Are you the princess of Bohai?!" the Great Witch asked, pointing to her nose.

Although he was vulgar and rude, Meng Xu'an and the county guards seemed to be used to it, and their surprised eyes were all focused on Ye Yao.

"Yes...... No, it's not, I'm with the prince...... Not yet married. Ye Yao replied cautiously.

Anxiously looking at Meng Xu'an, he was pulling the thin blanket and was stunned.

"Who is this woman?" the witch moved to the side with his withered fingers.

Lu Jiaxi was startled and hurriedly hid behind Meng Xu'an.

Meng Xu'an finally came back to his senses and replied on her behalf: "The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changting, Lu Jiaxi." ”

Da Wu pulled over the nearest county guard, and asked excitedly: "They were the two of you who fell into the river with the prince a few days ago?!"

The county guard's face changed greatly, he glanced at Meng Xu'an, and stumbled back: "Yes...... It's these two. ”

"Good, good——, great!"

Da Wu suddenly looked happy like a child, and jumped between Ye Yao and Lu Jiaxi, looking at them carefully with his eyes up and down, left, right, and right.

In order not to suffer a loss, Ye Yao also looked at him seriously.

There is no trace of the breath outside of mortals, but it is not excluded that immortals such as "five-stemmed lotus" or monsters such as "illusion flowers" are used...... This person is very eccentric!

"Tsk, you're the first girl to dare to look at the old man. can be canonized as the princess of Bohai, it is really not an ordinary woman. The witch's gaze rested on her face.

Ye Yao pursed her lips, "The elder thinks too much. The little girl loves to play with mud since she was a child, and she is not afraid of getting dirty. ”

The seven county guards were in a cold sweat, and the admired witch was actually said by the princess that everyone's fear of him did not come from awe, but from the fear of dirty...... Although there are more or less some, it is too shameless to say it directly.

"Hahahaha-"

The Great Witch looked up and laughed, and a layer of mud and sand fell from his tattered clothes.

"Can we go?" asked Ye Yao.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and the heavenly eyes on the big witch's forehead widened, staring at her eyes motionlessly.

"Can't—" His voice suddenly shrivelled.

Ye Yao retreated, and the sword spirit flashed, blocking in front of her.

This is the mortal world, and other mortals, including Meng Xu'an, can't see its existence. At this age in the mortal world, the Great Witch should know very well that even if he sees something, he can't say it at will.

Sure enough, he only avoided the edge of the sword spirit, turned to Meng Xu'an and said, "Lord Wang, the day before yesterday, I practiced 'purification' by the river. Suddenly, a Mr. Tsing Yi appeared to meet him, it was the water god of the river - Hebo. He Bo said that the craftsmen built embankments along the river, and the noise disturbed his cultivation. He asked the people on both sides of the strait to present a suitable bride on the new moon day to appease his anger. Otherwise, the water will flood the seven counties of the river and turn thousands of acres of fertile land into a quagmire. ”

The seven county guards obviously knew about it and chimed in. Since it is the request of the river god, according to the custom, the bride should be selected and dedicated to the river as his wife.

Bride?

Hebo wants to marry a mortal bride?!

Ye Yao was quite surprised, although Hebo Yuyi was not a dragon clan of the Ze clan, he was also a god clan who had cultivated and ascended to the Eight Classics, and it had been more than a thousand years since he received the position of the river god. Since ancient times, gods and mortals do not marry, even if he wants to marry a mortal wife, he has to come secretly, how can he directly let a mortal from the earth send a bride?

Meng Xu'an was thoughtful, he didn't think that he should offer a bride to Hebo, but Dawu was the representative of the gods in the north. Even if he is a prince of a land, he has to listen to his opinion.

"Lord Wang—"

Dawu pointed out of the hall, with a look of horror in his eyes, "The rainy season is coming, if Hebo's anger cannot be calmed down, hundreds of counties along the river will become Zeguo, and the people will die countless times!"

"What should I do as usual?" Meng Xu'an asked.

If some superficial work can reassure the people and allow him to strengthen the embankment by July 20, he does not mind hearing the words of this "crazy old man".

"She-" The Great Witch suddenly pointed at Ye Yao.

He Bo said, he fell in love with the woman who fell into the water from the patrol boat seven days ago. As long as the bride is offered, he is willing to forgive the recklessness of the people. ”

"Reckless ......"

Anger appeared on Meng Xu'an's pale face.

Ye Yao suddenly realized that Hebo was not in a hurry, but was using his brains here. As an earth immortal, he can't directly move to the people who built the embankment, nor can he impulsively run to find Meng Xu'an's bad luck like Tu Tu. So, he went to find someone who could convey his "will" - the Great Witch.

The Great Witch represents the gods and has a very high prestige among the people, and his words will become public opinion. If Hebo used divine power to force Meng Xu'an to stop work, it might be counterproductive, so it would be better to force him in the name of the people.

Thinking about it, he had already figured out that the two women who fell into the water were very important to Meng Xu'an. One is his nominal quasi-princess, a woman he likes, one is face, and the other is the bottom line. None of them, he will not give them away.

In the end, for the sake of their lives, the people will riot, and the fortifications will not be successfully completed. Ten thousand people who are destined to die will die this summer......

can force people to this role, Hebo deserves to be a thousand-year-old river god, and he still has a few brushes.
