The dark-bellied prime minister's cute wife

Chapter 387
It's just a legend, and a human life is about to be sacrificed, Tian Lanshan frowned, looking a little angry, and then continued to ask: "This is just the origin of the Tianhe River, what's the matter with the goddess?"

Hearing this, Huang Changqing frowned even tighter, as if he was also wondering whether there was a god in the river: "Speaking of the goddess, it is also related to the river." After a pause, he continued. Said: "Before, there were no goddesses in this Fuzhou territory. The people worshiped only the so-called gods in the river that day. Although one life would be lost every year, they could keep the people's peace and good weather for one year. I also think it's worth it. But after the people threw the girl into the river during Qingming last year, Tianhe suddenly became angry and began to roar with waves. The people were very afraid, but they dared not stay away. , I hope that the anger of the gods can be eliminated on weekdays, "

Seeing him stunned for a moment, Tian Lanshan became a little impatient: "Huang Changqing! Can you not be tricky?"

He touched his nose, looked a little aggrieved, poured a cup of tea on the table and drank it down, and then continued: "After a short wave, there was a sudden wave from the middle of the river that day, and a huge rock appeared on it. The face of the so-called goddess is engraved with her name and birth date. The local officials thought it was a gift from God to Fuzhou, so they built a temple for the huge stone and worshiped it all the time, but the goddess appeared soon. , in the huge stone temple, the people discovered that the huge stone meant something, and they directly regarded the woman as a goddess. Not only is the goddess extremely powerful, she can swallow clouds, but she can It descended from the sky, dressed in white like Guanyin Bodhisattva, so on the first and fifteenth day of each month, the common people would pray for peace in the goddess temple where the goddess and the giant stone are enshrined."

After hearing this, Tian Lanshan also frowned, and seemed to feel that these things in Fuzhou were strange everywhere, so she glanced at the two people in front of her and asked, "Do you two believe it? There are gods in the river that day."

Huang Changqing glanced at her, shook his head, then nodded again.

Seeing his appearance, Xintao frowned: "Guard Huang, do you believe it?"

"It's better to believe in the fact of the gods than to believe in nothing. It may or may not be true that there was something weird in the river that day, but I think the goddess is a bit strange." Speaking of this, he froze and looked at the two. The individual glanced at it and continued: "It's not impossible for ordinary people to swallow clouds and fog. Some seniors with advanced martial arts can also do it. As for falling from the sky, it's even easier. We can do it with lightness kung fu, but let me do it." What is strange is that the goddess can predict the future."

Tian Lanshan waved her hand: "What's so strange about this? There are at least a dozen fortune tellers on a street." With this explanation, she felt that the goddess was just playing tricks.

Hearing this, Huang Changqing frowned tightly and did not relax in the slightest. He glanced at Tian Lanshan before continuing: "Your Highness... not to mention that those fortune tellers are all over a hundred years old, but That's all just looking forward to being alone or two people, but this goddess is different. No one has seen her true face, but she claims to have lived for hundreds of years, and her body looks like ten. She is seven or eight years old, but her voice is like a child's. And her prophecy is aimed at a group of people, and she can directly name a group of people. What will they meet next? What will happen? This is what I think is the most strange gone."

Hearing him say this, Tian Lanshan also frowned, very confused: "So. Is the goddess real or fake?"

The two people Xintao listened to differentiated for a while before saying: "I think it should be fake, but we need to find evidence to explain it, otherwise the people here will think that we are so obsessed with the goddess. It belongs to the bad guys."

In this case, Huang Changqing also nodded, with such concerns in his heart.

Just as the three of them were discussing, they suddenly remembered a hasty knock on the door.

Huang Changqing's expression changed, and he pulled out the sword beside him, playing tricks on Xintao, who quickly stood in front of Tian Lanshan and blocked her body.

Huang Changqing leaned against the door and asked the people outside: "Who is outside?"

The person at the door didn't seem to be aware of the suddenly tense atmosphere in the room and smiled before saying, "Guest officer, I'm the waiter of the store. I'm here to invite the guest officer to watch our annual sacrifice to the river god."

Sacrifice to the river god?
Huang Changqing frowned and put the sword back again. Thinking about what he had just told Tian Lanshan, he suddenly realized why he forgot that today is Qingming. So today it will be in their eyes Did an innocent life disappear under the sun?
Opening the door, the waiter in the store was even more delighted to see all three of them: "It's really a coincidence that the guest officers today coincided with our annual river god sacrifice. The shopkeeper asked me to invite everyone Let's go see together."

The three looked at each other, and Xintao smiled suddenly: "We will definitely go, thank you very much."

Xiaoer waved his hand and said it was all right before leaving.

After closing the door again, the expressions of the three people were very dignified. After a while, a flowery girl disappeared in front of them, but they couldn't do anything. False, is it possible to save the woman's life?
Huang Changqing looked at the pale sky in front of him and said, "Your Highness...how about you stay here and I'll go and have a look."

"Are you sure you can save her?" Tian Lanshan hurriedly opened her mouth, but just as she finished speaking, she suddenly revealed a wry smile. What is she going crazy?With so many people present, how could the girl be rescued?It's just that I don't want to see a fresh life disappear like this.

Seeing her expression in his eyes, Huang Changqing said: "I, will definitely try my best."

Such a sentence did not bring any hope to the two women in front of him. Even Xintao was thinking that if Xiangye was here, he would definitely be able to figure out a way. He probably won't meet His Highness when he arrives in Fuzhou.Thinking of this, there was another burst of sadness. I really don't know what the lovers can do to settle their suspicions.

Tian Lanshan glanced at them, as if she had made some big decision: "Let's go and have a look together."

"Your Highness..." Xintao called out after hearing this. Although His Highness had seen bloody scenes before, they were assassins after all, but it is different now. This is a group of people who are forced to live. Die a flowery girl.

It seemed that she didn't want her to see such a scene, so Huang Changqing also joined Xintao's persuasion queue: "Your Highness...there are too many people there, I'm afraid it's not safe, why don't you stay here with Xintao."

Hearing this, Tian Lanshan frowned, glanced at the two of them, and said, "What's wrong with you? Do you think that such a scene will scare me? I'm not even afraid of assassins. "All of a sudden, I got angry, I don't want to be a burden to these two people all the time, I have to learn to face those things.

Seeing her talking like this, the two of them couldn't say much anymore, Huang Changqing glanced at her and said: "Then the three of us must walk together, we must not be separated."

It would be fine if this place is really full of common people, but I am afraid that other people will be mixed in among the common people, such as assassins. Regarding the previous assassination incidents, I still can’t let go of it. At this moment, I suddenly There are many such things.

When Xintao heard this, she looked at Huang Changqing, her eyes full of worry and fear.It would be fine if it was that simple, but there are so many people there, it is extremely easy for them to be scattered by the crowd. If His Highness really encounters any danger, how can they forgive themselves?

Tian Lanshan tidied up a bit before taking the two of them to go out.

After going downstairs, I heard the common people discussing that the woman offering sacrifices to the river god this time is Cuiyun, who sells tofu in the town, and that is from the famous tofu Xishi.

Hearing such words, Tian Lanshan glanced at Huang Changqing and whispered something softly to him. Huang Changqing frowned when he heard these words, with a face full of disapproval. If Dugu was there, he would not care , but at this moment the only person who can protect His Highness is himself. Although that Xintao is also loyal but has no time, what should I do if something unexpected happens?
Seeing that the person in front of him still didn't leave after hearing what he said, Tian Lanshan glanced at him: "Hurry up!"

Huang Changqing shook his head, frowned, his eyes were full of worry: "I can't leave Your Highness."

Tian Lanshan didn't think so much, Zuo just didn't want that fresh life to disappear in front of her like this, so she asked Huang Changqing to go to the tofu shop to see what was going on?

Seeing that the two of them were deadlocked like this, Xintao glanced at Huang Changqing and said, "Go! Your Highness is worried if you do this, and I will definitely protect His Highness."

Seeing that both of them were like this, Huang Changqing could only sigh: "I'll go and come back soon." Then he left with light work.

Tian Lanshan glanced at Xintao, and then followed the crowd in the direction of the so-called Tianhe.

Along the way, there were smiles on the faces of these common people, and many people were even discussing that as long as they sacrificed the life of that tofu Xishi today, they would be able to keep Fuzhou's peace for a year. Full of respect, but no half guilt for the woman who is about to lose her life.
