I miss you at dawn

Chapter 757 Sacrificial Ceremony

Yu Qingchuan rolled his eyes coldly, he really regretted following him, he lay on the rock moaning, with his hands behind his head, swinging his legs crossed.

After a while, suddenly there was movement in the forest, Yu Qingchuan and Wei Yancheng looked at each other, and he immediately took Qin Shuyao to hide.

"The chief steward was taken away by the high priest, and he will be sacrificed to the gods as tomorrow's sacrifice, have you heard?"

"I didn't hear about it, but I saw it with my own eyes. The high priest said that this year's drought was caused by offending the gods. If you want to calm the gods' anger, you must be sincere."

"That's good, otherwise we'll have to choose the sacrificial offerings from among the young girls. Those girls have been pitiful in the past few decades."

"Isn't it? My daughter is not yet eighteen this year. If Zang Zhong hadn't been selected, my daughter would be in danger."

The two middle-aged women chatted as they walked, and it seemed that they came from the mountains to pick goods from the mountains.

After they left, Qin Shuyao couldn't calm down anymore, "No, I'm going back to save Zang Zhong."

Wei Yancheng grabbed her wrist, "Yaoyao, this must be a conspiracy by the high priest, just to force you to show up. You are playing into the trap right now. We are waiting."

"It's because the high priest wants me, so I can't implicate Zang Zhong. Wei Yancheng, I can't let anyone take risks for me."

With a straight expression, there was warmth and anger in his eyes, "Is this so?"

"There's no time, it's going to start tomorrow."

After a long time, Wei Yancheng finally said, "Okay, let's make a long-term plan tonight and go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."

"Ah."

On the third day, the three of them hurried down the mountain, only to see that the clansmen were busy with praying for rain early in the morning. Wei Yancheng and Qin Shuyao had been hiding in the dark, looking for opportunities.

"They are familiar with your face and mine. Only Qingchuan can get in. He went to find out where Zang Zhong was being held, and he will inform us later, and we will respond," Wei Yancheng said.

It's easy to say, but Qin Shuyao's worry is clearly visible, Qingchuan is not from the Zang family, and the high priest will not let him live if something happens.

"Is there any news yet?"

Wei Yancheng shook his head, "Not yet."

As time passed by, Qin Shuyao's patience ran out, both Zang Zhong and Yu Qingchuan were very important to her.

Nothing can happen to anyone.

Qin Shuyao frowned, "I don't know how Shen Chong is?"

"Zang Zhong sent someone to follow him, so there shouldn't be any accidents. Yaoyao, wait patiently, you are a little impatient now."

She found out herself, but she couldn't calm down.

In this way, it came to the auspicious time to pray for rain, and I saw someone pushing Zang Zhong up, and then he was pushed up to Yu Qingchuan.

Qin Shu's pupils widened, and it was Wei Yancheng who held her back to calm her down, "Playing by ear, I just got in touch with Shen Shen."

"……it is good."

She clenched her fists and waited in agony.

Today the high priest wore a sacrificial attire, with wide sleeves all in pitch black, and a few peacock feathers inserted into the hat on his head.

His gaze scanned the crowd, trying to find Qin Shuyao's shadow.While practicing, while looking for.

The high priest murmured some incomprehensible words, waved and waved in a godlike way, and poured millet at Zang Zhong and Yu Qingchuan as if there was something serious about it.

Finally, all the preparations were completed, but the figure he wanted to see hadn't appeared yet.

The high priest thought to himself, hmph, I really can hold my breath.

With a look, the subordinates dragged Zang Zhong and Yu Qingchuan to the river. They were put in a pig cage with a big stone tied to the end of the pig cage.

In this way, the person who was sacrificed would have no chance of surviving.

The high priest made a gesture, "Dragon King, please appease your anger and give us the rain and dew of the Zang family."

Seeing that they were about to make a move, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Stop, what you want is my life, let them go."

Qin Shuyao stood up, holding a dagger in her hand.

The high priest smiled triumphantly, "Wrong, you are our Zang family, how could I kill you? I just sent you to the gods to enjoy blessings and calm down the anger."

"Sounding high-sounding, it's not murder." Qin Shuyao sneered, and Wei Yancheng didn't dare to act rashly with those people protected, "High Priest, what are you still doing, let them go, and I will be your sacrifice."

The high priest stood on the bank of the river, with a half-smile, "What leverage do you have for me to let them go?"

"Oh? Why not?"

Qin Shuyao snapped his fingers, and saw a middle-aged man passing through the crowd with a sharp knife on his neck.

The knife was very sharp, and the throat was sealed with blood.

"High Priest, save me, save me quickly, I don't want to die, I don't want to die." Zang Lu cried, his voice choked.

And the man who controls Zang Lu is the loyal servant next to the high priest.

The high priest obviously didn't expect his most loyal person to betray him, "You, you actually betrayed me?"

"I'm sorry High Priest, the patriarch's grandmother is kind to my father, I can't let the benefactor's offspring die like this."

Suddenly there was a change, and the high priest panicked, "You are from the Zang family, I don't believe you dare to kill Zang Lv."

"He didn't dare, but I'm not from the Zang family, so I can."

Wei Yancheng spoke softly, and he was standing beside Zang Lv, and it only took a moment to kill him.

The high priest didn't care about Zang Lu, let alone have any friendship with him, but Zang Lu was an excuse for him to overthrow Qin Shuyao's rule.

Holding the emperor to order the princes, if the emperor is gone, then his behavior is rebellion.

Therefore, Zang Lv cannot die, at least not until the dust settles.

Taking a deep breath, the high priest gritted his teeth, "Qin Shuyao, he's your uncle. I really didn't expect you to be so mad."

"Dolma tried so hard to kill me, she is the son of my enemy, why should I be soft-hearted to him?"

The High Priest of Jormag is well aware of his ambitions, but this is not the time to discuss this topic.

He took a step back, "Okay, I'll let Zang Zhong and your friends go, and you let Zang Lv go. As long as you obediently make sacrifices, I promise to send them out of Zang's house safely. I can swear to the gods."

This is the maximum that the high priest can accept. If Zang Law is used to exchange for the safety of all of them, the value of Zang Law is not enough.

"it is good."

Qin Shuyao answered frankly and simply.But Wei Yancheng disagreed, and took her by the elbow, "Yaoyao, delaying time is not asking you to die."

"Don't worry, I'm still waiting to grow old with you, it's so easy to find death."

"then you……"

"Save Zang Zhong first, they are talking."
