Looking to Chang'an from the North

"No, taking Yunniang away is just a bad idea when there is nothing else to do. Without Yunniang, there will be Wanniang, Qinniang, but it's just a temporary solution, not the root cause."

What Lin Chuhuai wanted to save was not just any woman, what he wanted was for no innocent woman to sacrifice her life for this kind of feudal superstition.

"Then will replace her. The last general's water quality has always been very good. Even if he is submerged, he can save himself. Who will be able to tell when he covers his head?" Zhao Long immediately suggested.

This time, Yun Shu glanced at him, with an indescribable expression on his face.

Hou Ye's confidant doesn't seem very smart.Leaving aside the differences between men and women, the stature of these two people is also very different.The 12-year-old girl is small and exquisite. You, a man with a big arm and a round waist, can't replace her. Even if you ask the son to go to that height, you can't pass it.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Long thought about it carefully and realized that he was stupid just now, so he scratched his head in embarrassment for a moment.

Lin Chuhuai pondered for a moment and got some ideas.

Since the villagers are ignorant and superstitious, it is better to fight poison with poison and set up a situation to let them dispel their thoughts.

Lin Chuhuai explained the plan to everyone in detail, and everyone thought it was feasible, so they split up to prepare.

On the second day, Lizheng's thatched hut collapsed inexplicably, half of Aunt Li's surplus food disappeared out of thin air, and Uncle Zhang's house was covered with foreign hot peppers.

The thatched cottage was the foundation that Kang took the children to loosen at midnight. As for the surplus grain, the nimble Zhao Long naturally stole it, and Lin Chuhuai and Yun Shu went up the mountain to catch the hot pepper carefully.

In the next two days, strange things happened frequently in the villagers' homes but they couldn't find the reason, which made people panic for a while.

On the third day, a piece of paper was attached to the door of every household, which said - don't try to guess my mind, this is just a small punishment and a big warning.

This word was naturally written by Chang Yun.

That afternoon, Li was convening a discussion with the villagers, but he didn't know what to do. He didn't suspect that the so-called oracle was actually man-made, but he also didn't think it was related to the sacrifice they wanted to hold. He even asked Lin Chuhuai if he could Once the auspicious time has been calculated, early sacrifice may be able to exchange for the peace of the village.

Lin Chuhuai was not surprised by this, this was only the first step of his plan, and the good show had just begun.

He told Lizheng that three quarters of the noon three days later was the auspicious time for the God of the River to get married, and at that time he would choose a woman to sink into the water and perform the ceremony of Duke Zhou with the God of the River.All misfortunes will be solved.After hearing this, Lizheng was overjoyed, and put the strange things of the past few days behind him.

The net has been laid and is waiting to be collected.In less than three days, Lizheng will cancel the sacrificial ceremony by himself.

On this day, the village was peaceful and peaceful, and everyone felt that Xu was blessed by the river god, but they didn't know that night was the beginning.

That night, the wind was gusty and the torrential rain was pouring, and there was no warmth of spring, but it was like the raging winter season.Naturally, this is not a so-called oracle or providence, but a natural change in the weather.Of course, this was not manipulated by Lin Chuhuai, after all, he was just a mortal.But I can't help it. He is a person who can judge the weather by looking at the sky.

When Lin Chuhuai entered the National Teacher Pagoda and studied with the old teacher for a period of time, although he didn't know much about divination, in terms of astronomy, no one in Tianyu could surpass him, even the old teacher They all raved about it.When he made the plan, he calculated this celestial change, and even sent a letter to the city to ask He Jing to make preparations early to appease the people, so as to avoid panic and aggravate the disaster.

This torrential rain will not last for a long time, at most one night, and the impact on the disaster situation will not be great.It was precisely because he knew this well that Lin Chuhuai wanted to use this to frighten the villagers instead of diverting them.

The sky had changed and the rainstorm had arrived. Lin Chuhuai asked Zhao Long to put on a black robe and cover his face, leaving only a pair of dark eyes, and climbed onto the roof of Lizheng's house. The thatched roof was wet and slippery after being damp. Zhao Long One lost his footing and nearly fell off the roof, which made people terrified.

At first, the villagers were just busy with their own business, no one noticed the existence of such a man in black robe, Zhao Long was not in a hurry and just stood there quietly, until a child pointed to the roof and said to his mother, "Mother, There's a man standing on the roof of Grandpa Rizheng's house."

The children didn't feel scared, they were just curious about the sudden appearance of the person, but the adults who saw it were startled, hurriedly pulled their man and pointed to the roof.

More and more people noticed this place, and all of them put down their work and walked towards Lizheng's house. Lizheng had been packing things in the house, busy rescuing objects that were wet from the leaking roof. Be the last to find out.

When he found out, his heart skipped a beat, and he shouted loudly, "Who is playing tricks there, come down quickly."

God knows that his loud voice is just to embolden himself. He is not in a hurry on the surface, but he is extremely flustered in his heart.

Zhao Long lowered his voice, and according to Lin Chuhuai's instructions, he slowly said, "Pretending to be a god? I am a god, so why pretend? It seems that mortals have never taken my warning to heart. I have to give you some advice." Lessons can be remembered long-term?"

The deep voice seemed indistinct in the heavy rain, and because of the strong wind brought some weird echoes, the scalp of the listeners went numb, and Yun Shu, who was mixed in the crowd, shivered because of it.But Lin Chuhuai smiled in satisfaction, and the effect was better than he expected.

Li Zheng's face turned pale when he heard this.

caveat?

that note?

It immediately reminded me of the strange things that happened in the village a few days ago. As for people, what they are most afraid of is scaring themselves.

Li Zheng knelt down and kowtowed, saying in his mouth, "God forgives you, Caomin, I don't know where I offended you, I hope you can tell me, I will change it immediately, I will change it immediately. By the way, in two days There are also girls in the village who want to offer it to God, I hope you will accept it."

Seeing Li Zheng all knelt and kowtowed, the villagers knelt down and shivered on the ground.Lin Chuhuai pulled Yun Shu to watch behind the haystack.

After hearing this, Zhao Long laughed wantonly, and that laughter shook the heavens and the earth like the beating of a drum.

The villagers who heard it thought there was something going on, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't know that the breath had not been relieved, and they raised their hearts again.

Zhao Long boldly sat down on the roof, sneered before saying, "I will never repent, who told you to give this seat a woman, and it will be impossible to murder this seat."

"Well, why did God say that?" Li Zheng raised his head to meet those emotionless eyes and immediately lowered his head.

"I have a fairy wife in my family, and I have a jealous temperament. It's good for you villages to send young girls to me in turn. I want to make my house restless and cause harm to the world." Zhao Long said. The volume was raised, and at first glance, I really felt full of anger.

After hearing this, Lin Chuhuai stroked his forehead helplessly. He asked the man to make up a reason to dissuade the villagers from sacrificing the girl, but he didn't let him be so dishonest. What kind of master is he? What kind of subordinates are there.Like Xia Yizheng, he is really a bandit.

When Lizheng heard this, it was okay, and hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded guilty, "It's because we didn't think carefully, and I hope God will forgive us."

Zhao Long nodded, as if satisfied with his attitude of admitting his mistake, "Since that's the case, how dare you do it again in the future?"

"Don't dare, I won't dare again in the future."

"It's the best. Remember to tell the people in the nearby villages not to think about this matter again. The torrential rain will stop tomorrow morning. Remember, this time is just a small punishment. If you dare to do it again, don't blame me. The subordinates are merciless."

After speaking, he moved his light work on his toes and went to the mountains and forests.

The villagers who bowed their heads in thanks were left behind.

When Lizheng was being lifted up, his legs were still trembling and he couldn't stand upright. Lin Chuhuai looked at it for a while, and before the villagers had completely dispersed, he stepped forward and asked, "Tomorrow is an auspicious day. How about this wedding ceremony?" Do you want to continue?"

"Cancel cancel, cancel everything, don't mention this matter again." Li Zheng was a little bit annoyed.

Lin Chuhuai didn't care about his attitude. He bowed and turned back to Aunt Kang's house.As soon as he entered the door, he saw five people kneeling on the ground, and even the man with inconvenient legs was supported to kneel firmly on the ground.

Lin Chuhuai was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly called to Yun Shu to help him up together.

"What are you doing, get up quickly."

"Thank you benefactor for saving my life. You saved the lives of my family, Yunniang, and my whole family." It was the man who said this. He didn't get up immediately, but kowtowed seriously before getting up. .

Although Yunniang was not his only girl, every child was his treasure. How could a parent watch their children go to die? His gratitude to Lin Chuhuai came from the bottom of his heart.

After Lin Chuhuai accepted this gift, he knew that only in this way could the husband and wife feel at ease.

The affairs here are over, it's time for them to go back to the city to meet He Jingzhi, but it's getting late, today I'm afraid they will have to sleep overnight here.

But Lin Chuhuai waited for a while and found that Zhao Long hadn't come back yet. He was a little worried about his safety. After all, the night was dark and the mountains might not be safe, but he wanted to go out with a lamp and was stopped by Yun Shu, "My lord If you go, I'm afraid it will be even more unsafe, brother Zhao is a military commander, there shouldn't be any danger, master might as well wait for another incense stick, if he hasn't come back, then the servant will go look for it."

Lin Chuhuai nodded and sat down. The time for a stick of incense came in a blink of an eye, but it was pitch black outside the door, not to mention the shadows of people, not even a ghost.In the end, he decided to bring Yunshu along to find someone.

But before he reached the entrance of the village, he saw that person. Lin Chuhuai stepped forward and said, "You did a good job today and completed the task satisfactorily. It seems that your general taught you well."

The man nodded and replied, "Yes."

The voice sounded a bit weird, not quite like Zhao Long's voice but somehow familiar, Lin Chuhuai was suspicious.

"Why don't you take off your mask?"

Seeing that the man didn't answer or respond, Lin Chuhuai lifted the mask himself.When he saw the man's face, the originally stern expression suddenly settled on his face.

"Why are you, Zhao Longren?"
