After marriage and marriage, I became the favorite of the group

The incident happened suddenly, something was wrong with the fire tower, and Ruan Jiu only realized it when he heard the sound from inside after throwing the stone.

He followed the great witch to do many times of divination and threw stones many times. He subconsciously remembered very clearly the sound of the stone used for divination being thrown into the fire.

It should be crisp, not dull.

But after realizing that something was wrong with the fire tower, Ruan Jiu didn't have any extra time to react. He only had time to push away the two little servants beside him and let them roll down the steps.

He originally wanted to jump off by himself, but the oncoming heat wave sent him flying. He lost his position a little and fell off the stone platform.

The fire tower was originally built with wood, but now the fire tower seemed to have been pulled out of a piece of wood, and the burning wood collapsed and splashed out.

The moment he fell off the stone platform, Ruan Jiu could even see the burning wood flying over his head.

He Lianzhu was the one who reacted the fastest. When he saw Ruan Jiu stretching out his hands to the two servant boys, he immediately came to his senses.

When he had already run to the bottom of the stone platform and was about to catch Ruan Jiu, the ministers and guards hurried forward, blocking the splashing sparks with their arms, while shouting "King" and "Queen".

Ruan Jiu couldn't hear anything, he just felt that the surroundings were very quiet, and there was only the whistling wind in his ears.

Then he fell into someone's arms, and the surrounding voices returned.

messy.

Did he fall from a platform that was nearly a hundred stone steps high? He Lianzhu barely caught him, but was hit by him with a muffled groan. Before he could feel the pain, he just hugged Ruan Jiu out of the most instinctive reaction. In a hurry, he turned over and faced the fire tower, protecting Ruan Jiu under his body.

He Lianzhu tightly pursed the corners of his lips, staring at Ruan Jiu like a falcon.

Ruan Jiu was a little frightened, his face was pale, but he looked fine.

He Lianzhu touched his face to confirm that he was fine, then hugged him and rolled to the side a few times.

The fire tower collapsed completely, and the flames scattered around the stone platform, still burning fiercely.

Ruan Jiu was led by He Lianzhu, and rolled all the way to the far side, the untouched grass.

At this time, some guards and ministers gathered around: "King? Queen? Is there any problem?"

Hearing them yelling, Ruan Jiu came back to his senses. He got up from Helian Zhu, his hair and clothes were disheveled, and there was still black ashes on his face that had almost been scorched by the flames.

He lowered his head to look at Helian Zhu on the ground, shook him twice, and hurriedly called out, "Helian Zhu? Helian Zhu!"

He Lianzhu barely opened his eyes, coughed twice, and said aggrievedly: "Ruanjiu, my arm is broken, and my chest hurts..."

This is natural, Ruan Jiu fell from such a high platform, even if the god Asulu came to pick him up in person, he might not be able to catch him. Was it an internal injury?

Ruan Jiu opened his mouth, originally wanting to blame him, but when he opened his mouth, tears flowed down.

He touched He Lianzhu's arm: "Do you feel it?"

He Lianzhu nodded: "It hurts."

Ruan Jiu patted his chest: "Let's go, I'll take you back first."

He wiped his face, turned his head, the fire on the grass hadn't been extinguished yet, and the flames were blazing, and they came into his eyes.

Ruan Jiu ordered everyone: "Go and bring the king's sedan chair over. Please Mr. Zhuang deal with the scene. If there are any injured people, please invite the imperial physician to come and treat them. The officials who arranged the sacrifice this time are temporarily detained until after the incident."

After he arranged things, he turned his head to look at Helian Zhu, and when he saw him, he cried again.

Seeing that the black ashes on his face were covered with tears, He Lianzhu couldn't help laughing.

Ruan Jiu was annoyed, and raised his hand to hit him, but finally just touched his face: "Are you still laughing?"

He Lianzhu rubbed his palm and smiled again.

That's not bad, he caught the angel who fell from the sky.

When the fire tower collapsed, people fled in all directions. Five or six people were burned by falling logs, and another five or six people were crushed and trampled because they fled in a hurry.

The two servant boys who were pushed down the steps by Ruan Jiu were also safe and sound, only fell a few times.

The injuries were not serious, and Zhuang Xian was already dealing with the follow-up matters.

The person who was hurt the most was Helian Zhu.

Because he was still hunting in autumn, the king hurried back to the palace, which might cause panic, so He Lianzhu is still recuperating in the imperial tent.

Several imperial physicians came to see him, helped him deal with the injury together, and prescribed medicine for him.

After the medicine was ready, Helian Zhu winked at them, and they all left.

Both of He Lianzhu's hands were plasterboarded and hung up, which looked a little funny.

Ruan Jiu stopped crying, but his eyes were still red.Holding the medicine bowl, sitting on the side of the couch, feeding him the medicine.

It seemed that He Lianzhu's physical fitness was very strong, and he recovered after lying down for a while. He didn't feel any pain, and he happily took the spoon that Ruan Jiu handed over.

After he finished drinking the medicine, Ruan Jiu put the medicine bowl aside and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

He Lianzhu smiled at him: "It doesn't hurt."

Ruan Jiu remembered what happened just now, and still had lingering fears in his heart, and looked at him with feigned anger: "Why did you come to pick me up? I fell down by myself, and it's not like I don't know how to hide."

"When I caught you, you were clearly still in a daze."

"No! I was frightened by you."

Ruan Jiu didn't want to admit it in front of He Lianzhu at all. When he was caught by He Lianzhu, he was a little shocked, so shocked that he was stunned.

When the great witch taught him divination, of course he told him the legend of the God of Chiwu.

But he is not a child, he is still from Liang, he will not believe this.

But just for a moment, he seemed to be caught by the legendary god.

But it is obvious that this little god is only 17 years old these few months, and he is only a young adult.

He is a man now.

Ruan Jiu changed the subject: "What about hunting tomorrow? You definitely can't go."

"Ruanjiu will go for me." Helian Zhu paused, "The queen will go for the king."

Ruan Jiu blinked: "But they said, you have to hunt a wolf every year. I can't hunt a wolf."

"You don't need to hunt wolves. It's so boring to hunt wolves every year." He Lianzhu said, "I'll ask Pale and Getulu to accompany you. You can't go too far, and come back when you hunt a rabbit."

"You can't eat rabbit meat now."

"Then raise it for you."

"How?"

"Feed some green vegetable leaves, raise them as you like."

Ruan Jiu answered, "Then in winter, I can hug it under the blanket and make a small heater."

He Lianzhu thought he didn't know, and reminded: "Hares are fierce."

"I know." Ruan Jiu pursed the corners of his lips, "There is one that doesn't."

As soon as the words fell, Ruan Jiu carefully avoided his injured hand, and gently leaned his head on his chest.

This one rabbit.

Ruan Jiu looked at him, and suddenly said what was in his heart.

"He Lianzhu, I thought I saw the legendary Asulu."

After a long silence, He Lianzhu finally said: "I also thought I held the Angel of God in my arms."

Ruan Jiu smiled slightly.He Lianzhu was still thinking at first, Ruan Jiu was leaning against his heart, he had to control his heartbeat, and don't make noise to scare Ruan Jiu.

In the end, Ruan Jiu just smiled at him, his eyes reflected his appearance, and He Lianzhu couldn't stop his heart beating wildly.

It's over, he's going to quarrel Ruan Jiu to death.

Ruan Jiu still smiled at him obediently, probably thinking that he was hurt, so he indulged him more, and raised his hand to stroke his head, smoothing his hair.

"Little pig, you are so kind."

Now He Lianzhu really couldn't take it anymore, he stopped breathing, and stared at Ruan Jiu for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ruanjiu, I..." He hoarsely said, "It's a little uncomfortable."

Ruan Jiu suddenly felt something was wrong, sat up, turned his head to take a look, and when he turned back again, his expression was dull.

Now as disgusted as ever.

"He Lianzhu, no matter what you do... do you have endless energy? You have become like this, and I didn't touch you at all..."

"You touched me." He Lianzhu looked down, "You leaned on my chest, and your breath hit my chin. It's not like you don't know, when I saw you ...you're still so close."

"It's obviously not very close."

"Yes!" Helian Zhu shook his dangling hands, "Ruan Chiu, you have to be responsible to me."

Ruan Jiu choked, looked at his hand: "Got it, don't shake it."

He Lianzhu was a blessing in disguise, lying comfortably on the couch, looking at Ruan Jiu seriously.

The hair on his forehead hung down on Ruan Jiu's cheeks, He Lianzhu subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hand to help him brush his hair away, and after moving it, he realized that he couldn't move.

He can only look at Ruan Jiu like this, which is not interesting.

When he was rising, Ruan Jiu suddenly said: "I see."

"what?"

"Little pig, you are a chicken that got into a mountain of rice, and a puppy that fell into a mountain of meat. No matter how much you eat, you can't get enough."

He Lianzhu was not very happy: "Yes, that puppy wants to have it again."

Ruan Jiu froze: "If you don't eat enough, I'll unplug it for you, believe it or not?"

The injured king is about to make trouble.

After finally appeasing the king, Ruan Jiu walked out of the imperial tent to have a look.

Zhuang Xian had already dealt with all the important matters, and nine out of ten of them were man-made, so the sacrificial scene was kept as it was for future investigation.

Ruan Jiu carefully climbed onto the stone platform, recalling the situation at that time.

The fire tower should be fine, but there seems to be something under the fire tower, so when the stone falls to the ground, the sound is muffled.

Ruan Jiu stood on the top of the stone platform, the place was completely blackened by the fire, nothing could be seen, even if there was anything, it had already been burned away.

The two servant boys were still with him, and this time they were extra cautious, following him closely, for fear of further accidents.

Ruan Jiu thought for a while, but he didn't have any clues. Just as he was about to turn around and go back, he bumped into a five or six-year-old child.

Relying on his short stature, he followed up quietly without anyone noticing.

Just as the two servant boys were about to lead him away, he stretched out two fists towards Ruan Jiu, as if he was holding something in his hands.

Ruan Jiu asked the servants to wait for a while, squatted down in front of the child, and stretched out his hands to him: "Do you have something for me?"

He looked at the child, blushing, put the thing in his fist in his palm, and whispered: "Give it to the angel of the gods."

It was the stones that Ruan Jiu threw into the fire for divination.

Ruan Jiu couldn't even care about this matter anymore.

He looked down at the stone in his hand, made a calculation in his mind, and said a few words to the child.

The child's eyes lit up, Ruan Jiu patted him: "Go, go and tell everyone."

"Okay." The child jumped down the steps step by step, and announced to everyone the comment of the great witch just now in unskilled words, "The fortune of the country is prosperous, the king is wise and unparalleled! See the sun through the clouds, the country is peaceful and the people are safe!"

Repeating the comment, he ran down the steps and into the crowd.

Everyone looked up at the same time, only to see the young great witch still standing on the stone platform, standing on the messy, ruin-like stone platform, like a god descended from the world.

He has clean eyebrows and a faint smile on his face.

He raised his hands, and the stone in his hand wiped off the black ash, and under the sunlight, it reflected a dazzling light.

When it comes to investigating the cause of the matter, Zhuang Xian is in charge. Ruan Jiu doesn't think he is better than him, so he entrusts the matter to him for investigation.

In the middle of the night, in the imperial tent, Ruan Jiu was sleeping soundly while hugging the quilt.He was used to sleeping with Helian Zhu in his arms, so he had no choice but to hug the quilt tightly for fear of touching his wound.

While sleeping drowsily, he was suddenly awakened by a ticking sound from outside.

The sound of the wind and rain became more and more urgent, Ruan Jiu regained his composure for a while in a daze, then he recovered and sat up hugging the quilt.

"It's raining." He picked up a small quilt and covered Helian Zhu.

He Lianzhu responded: "If it's still raining tomorrow, you don't have to go hunting."

"Great." Ruan Jiu fell back and continued to sleep, as if he just got up instinctively and covered him with a quilt.

As expected, He Lianzhu was right. When he woke up the next morning, it was still raining, and it was raining heavily.

Qiu Lie was naturally postponed, and Ruan Jiu stayed with He Lianzhu in the tent, talking to him and reading the scriptures to him.

Leisurely and indifferent.

It was not until the fourth day that the rain stopped.

He Lianzhu asked Pale and Getulu to accompany Ruan Jiu to hunt, and he could come back after hunting a rabbit.He gave a lot of instructions, and finally let Ruan Jiu leave.

When Ruan Jiu was wearing traditional robes and carrying a bow and arrow, he ran into Zhuang Xian when he went out.

So he asked casually: "Teacher, did you find anything about the sacrifice? Did you find out who did it?"

Zhuang Xian glanced at him, adjusted his expression, but said: "Not yet, it rained heavily that night, many things were washed away by the rain, I'm still investigating."

Ruan Jiu nodded, expressing his understanding: "Then I'll go hunting."

"it is good."

Ruan Jiu left with Pale and Getulu, and Zhuang Xian watched him walk away before letting someone in to report.

The informant came out soon.

"Lord Zhuang, the king invites you in."

Zhuang Xian entered the imperial tent, separated by a screen - the way the king hangs his hands is detrimental to the emperor's prestige, only the queen can see it.

He Lianzhu asked behind the screen: "What did you find?"

Different from the answer to Ruan Jiu just now, Zhuang Xian said: "This time, in order to take care of the identity of the queen, in addition to the craftsmen who are commonly used in the sacrifice, we also invited the craftsmen brought by the queen to build the fire tower together. Someone re-drawn the picture of the fire tower, and asked other craftsmen to look at it, because the base is not stable."

"how?"

"Usually, the base of the fire tower is plaster. After the plaster solidifies, it is very hard and can support the fire tower. This time, yellow sand is used, and a thin layer of plaster is spread on top, which can last for a while. When the queen goes up, it should be poured. The yellow sand is loose and everywhere, just dig it everywhere."

"Who is in charge of the pedestal?"

"The artisans of the Liang Kingdom can no longer remember who is in charge. There are so many people with mixed hands, anyone can do it." Zhuang Xian asked, "The queen just asked, do you want to tell him?"

He Lianzhu shook his head: "No need."

"Where is Liang Guo?"

"Send a few people to secretly watch the Liang people who are married to the queen later, don't let them do anything."

Zhuang Xian asked: "Aren't you going to negotiate with Liang Guo?"

He Lianzhu has always had revenge, but this time he hesitated.

If you want to negotiate with Liang Guo, no matter whether Emperor Liang is willing to go into the matter or not, he will definitely push Liang Guo craftsmen to convict them. They have been with Ruan Jiu for several years, and Ruan Jiu knows them all. Ruan Jiu will definitely feel uncomfortable when they are executed.

"Send someone to investigate secretly to see who instigated it. The situation in Liang State is going to change, and I'm afraid it's being used by someone." Helian Zhu paused, "As for those craftsmen, find an opportunity in a few days and say The queen understands that they have been away from home for many years, and let them go back to the country of Liang."

Zhuang Xiandao: "Does Your Majesty want to suppress this matter? In fact, even if the contract is signed, this time it will be considered that Liang Guo missed the contract first, and it is not unreasonable if..."

"Let's do it like this." He Lianzhu said lightly, "I'm not afraid of the peace treaty, I'm just afraid that my queen will be sad."
