fake prince

Chapter 164
Saying that, Sun Buhan turned and left, took a step, and stopped in doubt: "Although you and I have long intended to promote the blood sacrifice to open the Dragon Palace, the specific person may not be the magistrate, and the speed is not so fast. It seems that there are people here. Intervene, do you know who it is?"

Speaking of this, Tianji Yao frowned even more: "I can't see through this matter, I can't expose it, it's thick with fog, and I don't know who did it."

"Could it be the King of Shu?" Sun Buhan guessed, shook his head, stopped talking, and fell into the rain.

In the courtyard, Su Ziji slept in the middle of the night, and in the early morning, someone knocked on the door. It was a wild Taoist voice.

"Don't worry, I'll get up right away." Su Ziji said, and after spending a stick of incense, he put on his clothes and came out. This is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits. Anxious savage.

"What's the matter, you're so panicked, it's dawn, can't you talk anymore?" Su Ziji said teasingly, and yawned.

"Fenghuan Dam burst, and now the nearby counties have been flooded, including Linhua County!"

"How many casualties?" Su Ziji gasped and regained consciousness.

"It's almost winter now, and the water is not too big, only three feet. The crops have been flooded, and there may be famine in the coming year."

"As for people, there should be no large-scale drowning, but the beggar who spread the news said that he saw someone being washed by the water and rushed into the mud. There must be many of them."

Su Ziji's face turned livid: "Is this man-made or natural?"

"I don't know, I really don't know." Ye Daoist also showed a rare expression of panic: "However, there is movement in the imperial envoy's mansion. It is said that the gate has been opened, and the officials have been notified. Go to the high platform immediately, and there are still empty prison cars to drive Arrived at the Yamen."

"The imperial envoy is going to kill someone."

Although he knew that the river dam broke and flooded several counties, he knew there must be something wrong, and Luo Pei would never let it go.

But unexpectedly, Luo Pei was so straightforward that he was about to kill Huang Liangping at dawn.

As for why he chose Panlong Lake, Su Ziji had already guessed that the imperial envoy might be planning to worship the river god here—that is, the Dragon Lord of the Water Palace.

This action immediately reminded Su Ziji of the blood sacrifices in the Wei Dynasty.

"The imperial envoy intends to take the fifth-rank officials of the imperial court as sacrifices, and sacrifice blood to the Dragon Lord by the lake?"

"Blood sacrifices have long been cancelled, and the Zheng Dynasty doesn't like the common people offering sacrifices to demon gods. Even if sacrifices are held, they are mostly worshiping human gods."

"If this spreads, even if the flood is contained in the end, the imperial court may not be able to spare this imperial envoy."

"It feels like the fish is dead and the net is broken."

"Let's go right away!" Thinking this way, Su Ziji turned back and told Ye Buhui about it.

"Husband, if you want to go, bring me with you, and I will go too!" Ye Buhui said.

"How did this happen? This is a matter of murder, why are you joining in the fun?" Su Ziji said in a low voice, seeing Ye Buhui's worried expression, obviously afraid of what would happen to him, his heart softened again.

"It must be very chaotic at that time. If you go, I will be distracted to watch you. This is not a good thing. Are you afraid of seeing nightmares about killing people? Be obedient and wait for my news at home."

In fact, after blurting out the words, Ye Buhui felt a little regretful.

At this moment, after hearing Su Ziji's words, she could only frowned and told: "Then you have to pay attention to safety, and you must not take any risks."

Having said that, there is a faint uneasiness in my heart.

"Don't worry, I will not take any risks." Patting her head, Su Ziji went out.

Ye Daoist had been waiting anxiously, when he saw him come out, he immediately urged: "My lord, let's talk after getting into the bullock cart."

There was an ox cart parked on the side of the road, and the boy who had been here before was wearing a coir raincoat and was sitting in front of the cart.

Su Ziji went up with wild talents, and the ox cart started to move.

On the way, Ye Daoist added: "I had people watch the imperial envoy, and found that he had people prepare some tributes overnight and sent them to the high platform near the lake."

"People kept a close eye on the government office, and found that the prefect Huang Liangping was indeed in the prison car, and was dragged out."

"The imperial envoy didn't say anything about it. Although it wasn't a deliberate attempt to conceal the news, the procedure for beheading a fifth-rank official would not be so short, and I noticed something different."

"It might be a blood sacrifice." Su Ziji shared his guess with the wild Taoist: "My guess is right, the imperial envoy probably wants to open the water palace and wake up the Dragon Lord."

"How dare they do this?" It's not that the wild Taoist couldn't guess this, but he didn't dare to think that a dignified imperial envoy would be so bold.

Is it easy to open the water mansion?
Not to mention whether this blood sacrifice to the fifth-rank magistrate will make the court angry.

As far as the relationship between the human race and the monster race is delicate now, King Qi’s daring and reckless behavior is nothing more than colluding with the monster race in private. After its establishment, the imperial court did not publicly offer sacrifices to the Dragon Lord, which is enough to explain the problem.

If Luo Pei did this, wouldn't he be afraid of causing disaster?
Unless... Luo Pei desperately still has the power to get rid of the flood and make meritorious deeds.

Or, King Qi is very powerful, many of them are demon clans, this Luo Pei wants to contact Dragon Palace, Dragon Palace is the master of the demon clan, so he can offset the power of King Qi?

Is this fighting for the dragon for the King of Shu?
Su Ziji thought so, and seeing the wild Taoist's expression change, he sighed: "Today, I'm afraid something big will happen."

"Actually, even if you are a demon clan, you may not be willing to see the Dragon Lord at this time." Ye Taoist nodded.

It's like the separatist rule of the princes in troubled times, constant conquests everywhere, big fish eat small fish, the people are miserable, and they are in danger, but these princes, big and small, can go back to the time when the emperor ruled the world. Willing, unless the person who ends the war and unifies the world is himself.

For the current Yaozu, it may be the same.

The demon emperor fell, monsters big and small refused to obey anyone, and all ethnic groups became kings on their own.

Why isn't the water demon like this?

The dragon lord disappeared, and the water monsters each became a tyrant. They missed the time when the monster clan was prosperous, but if they were to bow down to a new lord and regard him as king, they might not be convinced.

Su Ziji was thinking about it, and suddenly he was startled, opened the curtain of the car, and there was a cold rain slanting, bringing a chill, but he didn't care, just looked ahead, watched quietly, and took a long time to turn the car The curtain is lowered.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. We're already moving very fast. I don't want anyone else to watch. There are at least ten bullock carts passing by in front of us."

Su Ziji said, in fact, his Panlong mentality was born out of the Dragon Palace, and he is very sensitive to monster energy. Just now, he noticed a few monster energy flying towards Panlong Lake. Sure enough, this incident made the monster clan unable to sit still. .

"It's here." Just thinking about it, the young driver in front said something in a soft voice, and the ox cart slowly stopped.

"You stay here, I will go there with the young master." Ye Daoist said to the young man, and then quickly got out of the car and left.
