The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 436 Gu Insect Sacrifice
I have been busy all morning, and everything is almost arranged.

At noon, Mingyue stepped onto the altar. He was wearing a moon-white dress. The clothes were made of unknown material. The sun shone on the clothes, and there were flowing patterns surging under the sun.

Situ Yan, Fang Zhe and the others were on the tower to see how the legendary priests of the Moon Palace broke through the large array of Gu insects that had been besieged for several months.

A huge stone tripod was placed in the middle of the altar, and incense was lit inside. Mingyue kept praying and chanting mantras, while grabbing the vermilion powder from the table and throwing it into the stone tripod.

Incense is made by crushing the Gu king fed by Mingyue into powder. Those vermilion powders are also refined from more than a dozen poisonous substances. The two kinds of smells are combined and spread out. All the poisonous insects in the wild bow their heads. obey orders.

The purpose of Mingyue building such a large altar to summon poison is unclear. Just in case, Mu Qing had sprinkled sulfur and other medicines around Yongzhou City early in the morning to prevent poison from invading, and gave the soldiers under the altar to wear A sachet against poisonous bugs.

These were all done by Mu Qing himself, since Mingyue's origin is unknown, Situ Yan naturally had to be on guard.

As the strange fragrance wafted away, the poison scrambled to gather towards the dragon head plain, and the dragon head plain was densely packed with black.The Past Life Flower on Longshouyuan seemed to be alive at this time, biting the black poison and making a sharp sound.

Everyone looked down from the Yongzhou City Tower, and couldn't help but gasped.

The soldiers around the altar formed a mysterious formation. There were constantly poisonous things trying to approach them, but they were forced back by the smell of realgar wine and sulfur, and headed towards the direction of the flowers.

These five thousand soldiers formed a formation to ensure the absolute safety of the altar.

The Gu insects bit each other, the black drowned the red, and the red drowned the black, forming an unusually strange and magnificent scene on the dragon head plain.It was extremely terrifying, but it made people dare not take their eyes off.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the fight, and their hearts were hanging high.

A ceremonial ceremony lasted from noon to sunset, and then to the rising of the moon, and the moonlight sprinkled on Longshouyuan like water. This silent battle has come to an end.The red on Longshouyuan became less and less, and was almost submerged by black.

Mingyue's face turned slightly pale, and the cyan color on her forehead radiated ripples of light under the moonlight.

The screams gradually stopped, and the black Gu worms finally crawled past the Rebirth Gu.

Mingyue shouted loudly: "Get out of the way and let them come over."

The soldiers surrounding the altar subconsciously moved out of the way, and those Gu worms seemed to have received some order, they walked up the altar in unison, and jumped into the stone cauldron one after another.

And when he looked at Longshouyuan again, those strange red flowers were still there, Situ Yan frowned slightly.

At this moment, an inexplicable gust of wind blew up on Longshouyuan, and the dense red flowers turned into powder with the wind, flying under the moonlight.

Although today is not fifteen, the moon is surprisingly bright.Under the moonlight, the red powder is like a red firefly, extremely magnificent and treacherous.

"...Is it over like this?" The soldiers who had been besieged for many days were stunned by the scene before them.

The soldiers guarding the altar caught a grain of red powder with their hands, and the red color fell on his fingertips, as if it had penetrated into his hand in an instant and disappeared.

……

May [-]th is an extraordinary day for both Xiling and Eastern Zhou.

However, in the history books of later generations, this extremely strange battle was recorded in a few strokes.Future generations will probably not be able to appreciate the thrillingness of the year.

That night, a huge coup took place in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Prince Rong united with his teacher Xuanwu, forced the palace at night, Xuanyuanyu was trapped in the imperial study, and Xuanyuanlie's people and horses around him were slaughtered, and the huge bedroom exuded a strong smell of blood.

Xuanyuan Lie was wearing a silver-white armor, and his expression was indifferent, as if there were corpses all over the place in front of him, and he turned a blind eye to them all.

"You are good, very good! One is my younger brother, and the other is the person I trust the most. Are you actually joining hands to force me to death? You are so good!" Xuanyuan Yu fell down on the dragon chair and sternly scolded , but because of fear, his face was pale, and even his voice trembled, his appearance was very funny.

Xuanyuanlie looked at him coldly and laughed: "Brother? When did you treat me as a younger brother? If it weren't for the emperor's hard work these years, how could we have come to where we are today? Only now do you think of me Is it your brother? It's ridiculous!"

"That... none of that was my idea, it was all his." Xuanyuan Yu pointed at Xuan Wu behind Xuanyuan Lie and said, "It was he who was sowing discord! I won't lay hands on you..."

With Xuanyuan Yu's appearance, in Xuanyuan Lie's eyes, he was full of disdain. Winners and losers have been like this since ancient times, and he has to blame for this fate.But at this point, he is still looking for excuses to shirk, this kind of person is not worthy of being an emperor at all!It even lost the Xuanyuan family's face!

Xuanyuan Lie approached Xuanyuan Yu step by step, Xuanyuan Yu had no way to retreat, he touched the saber beside the bed, but because of fear, he couldn't draw it out no matter what.

Xuanyuan Lie snatched his saber and threw it out.Xuanyuan Yu was completely paralyzed on the ground.

Xuanyuan Lie was condescending and stepped on him, "Brother, I gave you a chance to kill me, but you couldn't even draw your sword. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

His hand touched the cold throne, and his eyes shone with determination: this position is only suitable for the strong!
The news of the great victory in Yongzhou was sent back to the capital, and Situ Rui was so angry that he threw the secret report on the ground, saying: "Situ Yan actually broke the siege of Yongzhou City within half a month! I will still be able to use excuses to rule him now! He has made such great achievements in Yongzhou, and the matter in Lingzhou will have to be abandoned at that time! It is simply unreasonable!"

"Your Majesty, although the king of Lingzhou cannot be ruled in the name of being unfavorable to the governor, after all, the siege of Yongzhou has been solved, and it is also a concern of the emperor. Even if the king of Lingzhou hides this time, doesn't the emperor still have his cards in his hand? Is the King of Lingzhou by your side? When the King of Lingzhou returns to Lingzhou, whether it's planting the blame or poisoning him, isn't it up to you, Your Majesty?" Seeing that he was so angry, Li You quickly comforted him.

At this time, in the Hall of Qinzheng, besides Situ Rui, there are three other people, Li You is on the left, behind Li You is Shen Qichang, and on the right is Xingxiu Pavilion Greedy Nightmare dressed in black and wearing a mask—or rather, Yu Maple is more suitable.

These three people have now become Situ Rui's confidantes.

Li You ruled out Situ Rui's dissidents and monopolized the power in the court; Shen Qichang held the military power; and Yu Feng was in the dark to get rid of those who had dissent against Situ Rui.When these three people gather together, it is a nest of snakes and rats.

Only then did Situ Rui's expression soften a little, and he said indignantly: "I originally wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Fang Zhe, but he is still alive and well. If Nalan Mingruo let me down!"

"There are so many opportunities to kill Fang Zhe in the barracks. If Nalan Mingruo hasn't done it for a long time, could Nalan Mingruo have been bribed by him?" Shen Qichang followed Situ Rui's words.

Nalan Yun was deprived of the military power, and now Shen Qichang took over temporarily. If Nalan Mingruo came back, and Situ Rui no longer liked the Nalan family, he would definitely return the military power.However, Shen Qichang managed to hold a large number of troops, how could he hand over the military power just by handing it over.

"Impossible." Situ Rui said without hesitation: "Although I don't like the Nalan family, Nalan Yun is still very loyal to me, otherwise I wouldn't have kept them all these years. If you didn't see it, I would even He took back Nalan Yun's military power, but he didn't say anything. The Nalan family can't move for the time being."

Situ Rui's words had reached this point, Shen Qichang had no choice but to shut up.

At this time, Jin Buhuan pushed the door in with the soup and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."

Seeing that it was Jin Buchang, Situ Rui said: "Let's do this today, if there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."

The three of Li You left.

The three of them left the Qinzheng Hall, and there was no one left or right.Shen Qichang frowned and said: "The emperor still refuses to attack the Nalan family and the Liu family, what a headache. If he knows what we are doing secretly..." There was some worry in his words.

Yu Feng, who was wearing a mask, sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if the emperor knows the truth if Nalan's family is convicted."

"The Pavilion Master said so." Li You said hastily.Although the person in front of him is not the real Xingxiu Pavilion Master Greedy Nightmare.But still holding his handle, not to be taken lightly.

Yu Feng didn't say anything, and left with lightness kung fu.

"Brother-in-law, are you afraid of that person?" Seeing that Li You was looking at that person's back, Shen Qichang glanced at Li You.

Hearing this, Li You glared at him, "Why is this old man afraid of that person? It's a joke."

Shen Qichang couldn't understand it, but he could smell something, that greedy nightmare, he felt uncomfortable just looking at it.As for the brother-in-law, it was obvious that there was something to be held by that greedy nightmare.Say you're not afraid, do you still want to prevaricate him?

Inside Yuejun Palace.

Adai brought in some green apricots from outside.Qin Wange was reading a book, looked up, couldn't help but smiled and said: "Could it be that the Palace of Yuejun is so poor that you can't afford leftovers, and you want to pick unripe green apricots to eat?"

Seeing Qin Wange making fun of Adai, Yingxue couldn't help laughing and said, "Concubine Yun Gui will deliver food on time for three meals a day. Adai is not hungry. It is obvious that she hasn't eaten snacks for a long time, and she is getting hungry."

Adai blushed slightly, stomped her feet and said coquettishly, "You will make fun of me, who is greedy?"

"If you're not greedy, what are you doing picking these green apricots?" Yingxue held back her smile, and wondered, "It's only the beginning of June, and the apricots are not yet ripe. No one will eat it.”

"I, I want to use green apricots to make candied fruit..." A Dai whispered, seeing Qin Wange and Yingxue laughing, she hurriedly explained: "I want to use green apricots to make candied fruit for my mother to eat Yes, not for myself."
