The Ninth Princess is beautiful and sassy

Chapter 3071
More than 2000 people went on the road together, carrying supplies, and the speed was not very fast.

It was almost midnight in the afternoon when the team finally entered the town.

"Strange! Why is there no one on the whole road?" Yue'er, who was lying on the grain, sat up.

Long Qian opened the cloth covering his eyes and sat up.

The two of them were originally in a carriage with Wen Qian and Song Yufei, but later they saw that the sun was blocked by clouds, so they simply changed to an open-air carriage.

The open-air carriage is a bit noisy, but at least you don’t have to watch people spreading dog food, and the air is fresh, which is pretty good.

Yue'er saw Long Qian sitting up and handed her a water bag.

"Princess, save it! I heard that you don't even have to drink water after entering."

Long Qian opened the water bag and took a sip: "Isn't there tens of thousands of people in this town? Why can't you see anyone?"

"I also find it strange." Yue'er frowned again, "It's been a while since I came in, but I can't find anyone."

"Hey!" Feiyun rode his horse back.

"Feiyun, what's going on ahead?" Yue'er looked up at him.

Feiyun came to them, turned his horse's head, and followed the carriage forward.

"I heard that today is a great day to worship heaven, and the people all went to King's Mountain."

"Everyone?" Long Qian put down the tightened water bag.

She thought the people in this town were not united, but it seemed that was not the case.

But if they are united, they shouldn't be reduced to this. They can even find water sources in the desert. After such a long time, can't they think of a way?
Rescue from outsiders can only solve urgent needs. The key is to solve internal problems.

No matter what, there was no sign of anyone dying of hunger on the road, and Long Qian finally felt relieved.

She believes that most people are struggling to live their lives, and their decline is inseparable from local management.

"I heard that everyone who could move has gone." Feiyun responded.

"They still have the strength to climb the mountain, which means they are not very hungry. I guess the rumors outside are not true." Yue'er also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was also worried when she came in. She didn't want to see the hungry and skinny people. It was very uncomfortable!
"Where is Wangshan? Princess, should we go and have a look?" Yue'er looked back at Long Qian and asked. "General Wen Qian said he wanted to go up the mountain to check the situation." Feiyun glanced forward.

"Then let's go up the mountain together." Long Qian nodded, "Prepare horses for us."

"Okay!" Feiyun nodded lightly, pinched the horse's belly, and left.

Soon, the team stopped at a house.

Some people left protective supplies, while others followed their masters towards King Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, a large number of people were kneeling.

They were all sallow and thin, and their clothes were thin, but they all straightened their backs and looked in the direction of the mountain.

Dozens of horses passed by in the middle of the road, attracting the attention of many people.

But they quickly gathered their thoughts, looked in the direction of the mountain, and muttered something silently.

When we reached the flat ground halfway up the mountain, there were still densely packed heads of people.

Without exception, they all knelt on the ground, looked forward, and muttered something.

Feiyun took the lead and walked in front, followed by dozens of people.

To the people in the town, these are all unfamiliar faces.

But the memorial ceremony had already begun. No matter how curious everyone was, they did not dare to be careless. They immediately gathered their thoughts and continued to recite the scriptures.

The sacrificial altar is located on the edge of the cliff, and there are three Taoist priests on the altar.

The master standing in the middle glanced at the stranger who appeared and closed his eyes again.

He read a few verses, opened his eyes and lit the cloth in his hand.

"The auspicious time has come, bring the sacrifices, quickly!"
