###34 Unpredictable

Although the beast is terrifying, it also follows the changes of nature, and it is difficult to say that people's hearts are not good. Although the palace is big, it is also the same blood, who will really have a heart to heart with whom?

"The three princes, do you know what the emperor is most afraid of?"

Xiao Jin said cautiously: "Naturally, the people can't live and work in peace and contentment, external worries and internal troubles continue, and natural disasters disappear. ”

"It seems that our emperor is afraid of a lot of things. Ye Xiaolou sneered. "Do the three princes know what the people are most afraid of?"

"After years of war, my wife was separated. ”

"War can be avoided, and the emperor has always advocated that the flames of war should not be allowed to burn the cultivated fields. There is something more terrible than war, which our emperor fears the most. ”

"Sir, please. Xiao Jin looked dazed.

"Demon ghosts. ”

The wind is gusting, and these words alone make people shudder.

"When our emperor was still the crown prince, he almost lost the country because of the demon Gu, but fortunately, he drew a clear line with the demon and evil in time, and Mingzhe protected himself and ascended to the supreme position, but this ghostly aura that lasted for several years took the lives of countless people, and the government would rather kill a good person by mistake than let any of them go. The emperor himself took up the sword, killed many of the important ministers of the court at the time, and ordered their houses to be burned down and their families exiled. ”

"Sir, don't let others listen to these words, everyone is afraid of demon things, and throughout the ages, they are all major events that have brought disaster to the country and the people. ”

"If it's just an ordinary sacrifice, I'm afraid that someone has made a fuss about it. ”

Xiao Jin's face was solemn, and the teacup he had just picked up hesitated to put it back, "What did Mr. find?"

"This matter is a long story, not to mention that what happened in Suishan and the official eunuchs in Jinling City really have nothing to do with each other, the two places are far apart, even if the ordinary sacrifices of the people should be different customs, it is really difficult to sort out the connection. ”

"Xiaolou, the more you talk about me, the more confused I become, what's going on? What did you find on your trip to Suishan? But it has something to do with the eldest prince?"

"Originally, this matter was very simple, red rain fell from the sky, the red water of the lake was forgotten, the plague spread in Suishan, and the spring ploughing was stagnant. All this is because of the chaos of the underwater beasts, to stop the red rain, the solution to the epidemic only needs to kill the beasts, and obtain the Wuhua Bell on the beasts, I believe that the prince should already know about this, and the first gate in the world will naturally solve the beasts for him. ”

"What is that gentleman worried about?" Xiao Jin became more and more confused.

Ye Xiaolou sighed, "Originally, there was nothing to worry about, but there was a strange ritual among the people, a bit like the spiritualism of decades ago." ”

Hearing this, the third prince sweated on his forehead, and he didn't know where to settle down, "Xiaolou, do you know that if anyone mentions these two words, they will be destroyed." ”

"I know. And the people knew it. If the people are prosperous, who will be contaminated with this kind of witchcraft? But now the people are dying at home, waiting for the dead to die. If there is only one bloodline left in a family's family, but if there is a glimmer of life, who will let it go? The people of Suishan naturally knew that the imperial court forbade spiritualism, and the Yan Wangfu also sent troops to garrison the shore of the Forgotten Worry Lake, and this ritual still did not disappear. On the contrary, more and more people believed it, and I did not have time to see how the dying children entered the lake in the middle of the night and came home the next day after the sun rose. I think it must have been a miracle that actually happened. ”

"Doesn't the eldest prince know about this?" Xiao Jin was still frightened in his heart, and asked worriedly.

"I think I know, I could not have told His Highness about this matter, so as not to worry His Highness, but there is one thing that His Highness needs to do, so I can only tell the truth. ”

"What can I do?"

"The true body of this underwater beast is the qi and blood rohu, the drigal beast is invisible, relying on blood and obsession to gather form, and has never set foot on land. I guess the reason for the appearance of red rain is the desalination of the saltwater in the lake, as long as you take off the Wuhua bell, you can solve the epidemic. Wuhua Ling is at the ear bone on the right side of the eleventh drigal, I only saw four dahu in Suishan that night, according to the calculation of the hour, two days before the full moon night two months later is the time when the eleventh dahu appeared, and not a single dahu can die before that. If one dies, he will have to wait for a full moon. Moreover, if the drigal beast is formed with the blood of the children who enter the lake, those children will naturally not be able to come back alive, this so-called miracle is really strange, and it is absolutely impossible to kill all the beasts before figuring it out, so as not to calm down and a new disaster arise again. What the three princes need to do is to find a way to make the eldest prince not rush to kill the alien beasts. ”

"I can only do my best in this matter, and my eldest brother may not be willing to listen to me. I still don't know something, Xiao Lou's injury is because of the drigal beast?"

The palace was silent, and Ye Xiaolou nodded slightly.

"Since it can hurt you, it seems that this beast is extremely ferocious, how can it be that the qi and blood of a few children can be embodied?"

Ye Xiaolou's eyes fainted a glimmer of light, this weak and sickly prince had such a delicate mind, he had been raised in the palace all these years and was not taken seriously, he had indeed read a lot of books and was a lot lean.

The tea in the cup was already cold, Ye Xiaolou put down the cup, and said lightly, "The water is all the way, and the sacrifice of Suishan may still start in Jinling City." ”

"You just said, maybe this matter has something to do with the official eunuch house in Jinling City, could it be the Lin Mansion?"

Ye Xiaolou poured water by himself, calmly, he had already said everything he wanted to say, and as for what the third prince thought of himself, he didn't have the heart to think about it.

The three princes wanted to speak and stopped, and the two took turns pouring a few teas and drinking a few teas, one was full of confusion in his heart, and the other had nothing to do with himself, with an indifferent face.

"Three days after the draft in the palace, during this time, the Lin Mansion is busy with the big business of the draft, and other businesses will be delayed somewhat, so the three princes might as well find a beautiful woman for themselves on the day of the draft. ”

Although the words were ordinary, Xiao Jin heard a cool breeze, "No matter what, the ministers of the court and the central government of the Lin Mansion sacrifice also know but don't say anything, if they really mess with the law, and do some demonic things privately to seek benefits, the father and emperor will definitely not let them." ”

"That's nature. ”

Seeing that Ye Xiaolou finally spit out another sentence, Xiao Jin's heart was also a little calmer.

"One more thing, has the Temple of Meditation been silent?"

"Yes, sir. How is this going to be?"

"The drigal beast can split the lake and come out, something must have happened under the water, the messenger should also arrive, you might as well walk around the palace more these days, maybe the envoy is already in this palace and I don't know. According to my guess......" Ye Xiaolou thought of Xiaoyu's body as light as a cicada's wings, and inadvertently smiled, and said, "The third prince can pay attention, maybe the envoy is a woman." ”

"A woman?"

"The last envoy was also a woman, doesn't the third prince know?"

"If it's a woman...... I'll keep an eye on it, thank you sir. ”
