The procession passed through the city and slowly moved towards the river.Overhead, dark clouds covered the moon, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the originally dripping raindrops had turned into rain lines, crackling on the oil-paper umbrella.The road beneath their feet grew muddy, and the procession slowed down, and the lion dancers stopped dancing, but followed behind the torches with their heads held high, and the lions were embarrassed and hideous in the firelight.The sound of bamboo and bells is still the same, the dance of sacrifice continues, and the sound of the soldiers clashing as they walk behind them is clear to the ears.This dark and rainy night seemed to swallow up the entire vine city, and the little fire in the vine city, this team slowly moving outside the city, was like the only vitality in this lifeless air, staggering forward in the mud, trying to fight for a ray of life from this altar of dead air.Almost all the people of Fuji City came out, and they followed the team with umbrellas, watching the rain fall heavier and heavier, and the people who could still whisper a few words also closed their mouths indifferently, and the whole team fell into absolute silence.Everyone's hearts were heavy, and they originally prayed for the rain to stop, but why did the rain not stop, but became heavier and heavier?
The procession went out of the city gate and came to the river.Torches had already been lit along the embankment, but the rain was so strong that most of the waterproof torches were extinguished by the rain.The procession with torches parted on both sides, Chu Heng's sacrificial dance also stopped, and she walked up the river embankment while knocking on the bamboo stick in her hand, Lu Qiao and Han Dong followed her, and then the group of little girls in red cotton skirts followed.The cotton skirt had already been penetrated by the cold wind and rain, Han Dong's footsteps had already floated, and she only had the back of Chu Heng in front of her eyes, and she was close and far away......
"Miss Chu......"
Han Dong tore off the ribbon on the bamboo stick and raised the medicine powder out.At this time, Chu Heng and the three of them had already gone up to the embankment.It was when Gao Gao was in the limelight that Chu Heng smelled a fragrant wind behind him, and when he looked back, it was Han Dong who was shaky and fell to the ground."
Sprinkle medicinal powder against the wind......"
Chu Heng frowned, this Han Dong is simply too tender, like her to sprinkle medicinal powder in the wind.Isn't it all blowing back into her own face?
Han Dong fell.The crowd below suddenly boiled, "What's going on?"
The one who danced the sacrificial dance fell?
”"Xu is too weak, this cold wind and cold rain ......"
Chu Heng listened to the explosion below, she lowered her head and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.The next second, he fell to the ground with a pop.Since someone drugged her to faint, she didn't cooperate, and she was so sorry for that person.Anyway, in the end, this matter can't be relied on by himself, and it's good to add some blockage to Ji Cheng.As Han Dong and Chu Heng fell one after another.Lu Qiao's whole person was stupid, she was stunned to be able to breathe.Then he gritted his teeth, anyway, Miss Chu fainted, what was she afraid of.As soon as he closed his eyes, Lu Qiao also fell to the ground.Chu Heng secretly sighed that Lu Qiao was a clever one.In the blink of an eye, the three people who danced the sacrificial dance and led the dance all fell, and the entire sacrifice had to stop.The drumming stopped.The sound of the bamboo sticks stopped, and so did the ringing.Chu Heng lay on the wet muddy ground, remembering the corner of the money bag he saw in Han Dong's clothes today.The embroidery on it seems to be Qin Lan's technique?
Qin Lan......
Qin Lan is the second son's person.Why did the second son want to demolish the platform of Jicheng?
Could it be that he is still working for the Queen Mother?
But the Queen Mother should not give Ji Chen such an order, unless Ji Chen makes his own decision again.Thinking of this Ji Chen, Chu Heng had a headache.The last time the stele was anti-poem, Chu San was forced to go to Beijing to face the crime, and it was Ji Chen who saved Chu San halfway.But if it is said that Ji Chen saved Chu San, it is not true, since Chu San fell into the hands of Ji Chen, the life and death of this one are uncertain, it is simply out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den.Until now, Chu Heng didn't find where Chu San went, although Jiang Lan later came to the Tengwang Mansion and said that he saved Chu San, but every time he asked Jiang Lan where Chu San was, Jiang Lan couldn't say anything at all.This Ji Chen is really a-stirring stick.Chu Heng felt more and more reluctant to see Ji Chen, remembering that he had drugged Ji Chen many times, and had also tricked Ji Chen more than once or twice, Chu Heng was a little more balanced in his heart.But this time, Ji Chen tried his best to make a move on himself, but he didn't do any big harm, I don't know what he was trying to do?
The second son, Ji Chen, is very filial to the eldest lady, the eldest lady was dissatisfied with the prince Ji Cheng a few days ago, and set up Ji Cheng to divide power to Ji Chen, could it be that this action was also because of the unhappiness in the eldest lady's heart?
But no matter how much Mrs.
Ren is a woman's mind, she should also understand that this vine king's mansion is a truth of both glory and loss, and she shouldn't make such a self-destruction of the Great Wall.Chu Heng had a headache when he thought about it, so he didn't think about it anymore.There was a sound of footsteps in my ears, it was Ji Cheng who had gone up the river embankment."
Heng'er?"
Ji Cheng stepped forward and picked up Chu Heng, seeing that Chu Heng was soaked, Ji Cheng was distressed, so he hurriedly took off his big hat and draped it on Chu Heng's body.As soon as this thick furry curtain covered Chu Heng's body, Chu Heng's brows relaxed.What could be more comfortable than being instantly surrounded by warmth when you're cold in your bones?
After Ji Cheng wrapped Chu Heng in a big coat, his eyes fell on the grass on the side, where there was a small cyan ribbon that was incompatible with this atmosphere.Ji Cheng shouted at Ling Jiu under the embankment, and Ling Jiu went up to the embankment and took over Chu Heng from Ji Cheng.Handing Chu Heng to Ling Jiu, Ji Cheng turned around and picked up the ribbon by the grass, put the ribbon under his nose and sniffed it, and then put it in his sleeve.Ling Jiu sent Chu Heng into the carriage on the side, and then returned to the embankment, and she looked left and right for a while without seeing any key points."
How could the three of them faint at the same time......"
Ling Jiu's brows twisted into twists."
They've been drugged."
Ji Cheng handed the ribbon in his sleeve to Ling Jiu: "This matter is for Ye to find out." ”Ling Jiu took the ribbon and sniffed it under his nose, his face suddenly changed.She nodded, gathered the ribbon and went down the embankment.Ji Cheng looked at the crowd under the embankment, and the anger in his eyes became stronger and stronger, if he found out who did it, he would definitely have to peel it and cramp.Chen Qixian commanded the two girls to carry Lu Qiao and Han Dong down, and seeing Ji Cheng's luck on the side, Chen Qixian went over and asked, "Lord Shizi, do you want to continue this sacrifice?"
”Ji Cheng glanced at Chen Qixian, remembering that this person was the steward who helped the Tengwang Mansion deal with the task of pacifying the people, and he could be regarded as Chu Heng's confidant, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Did Heng'er have any other arrangements before?"
She can't preside over the sacrifice now, and you might stick to it?
”Chen Qixian nodded: "There are many participants in this sacrifice, if you don't take it seriously, it's easy to fool around." ”Chen Qixian pointed to the rest of the little girls who danced the sacrificial dance: "Look at them, they have learned to dance the sacrificial dance with Chu Heng, although the dance is not the best, but it is enough." ”Ji Cheng glanced at the girl in the dance hall who was shivering in the rain, thinking that according to Chu Heng's estimate, the rain would stop in half an hour.Anyway, as long as the rain stops, the other levels of this sacrifice are irrelevant."
Let them jump."
Ji Cheng waved his hand and went down the embankment.Chen Qixian first glanced at Ji Cheng's back, and then looked at the excited people under the embankment, frowning, this is really a mess today.
