After Chuan Shu died, the four apprentices turned black

Chapter 21 "Fox Fake Tiger Power"

Yueying's tone is firm:

"You deliberately."

"What on purpose?"

"Have you heard what they are saying?" Yueying was not very happy, feeling that she had been arranged.

Nangong Yuheng is serious:
"Your Highness, other people have their mouths. What they say or think is beyond our control."

Yueying laughed angrily:
"Don't call me Your Highness, Master Guoshi, I'm just a grassroots person now."

Nangong Yuheng was silent, secretly clenched and loosened the hands under his wide sleeves.

He smiled wryly:
"I just want to go to rain with the master as before, isn't that okay?"

"Master, if this makes you unhappy, then you won't do it again next time."

This was the first time he called Yue Ying his master after he met her again. Yue Ying was a little caught off guard by her sudden submissiveness.

Yueying was not at ease, she pretended to glance at it indifferently, his dejected look did not seem to be fake.

She hesitated and just wanted to comfort him, when she thought of something immediately, alarm bells rang in her mind.

This is Nangong Yuheng, the national teacher who overthrew a dynasty, a man who holds all the power in the new dynasty, a smart person like him, everything is under arrangement, knowing her intentions, but going his own way, Could it be an accident?
The two sat in the sedan chair side by side, and let everyone see, who wouldn't think too much... It's so dangerous, this man almost took the rhythm!
So she gritted her teeth and said:

"It's not an example."

Then added:
"Just know that I am your master."

Nangong Yuheng was stunned, he didn't expect her to have such a reaction, immediately disrupted all his calculations, and was even turned against the general, a strange feeling rose in his heart - she became smarter and harder to deceive than before .

In the past, if he showed weakness, she would care and compromise in a panic, unlike now...

Slightly exhaling, he let out a sullen "hmm", feeling that the rest of the journey would be boring, he just languidly leaned on the soft seat, and he didn't even care to listen to what the people around him were saying.

Seeing him deflated, Yue Ying snickered in her heart, sat upright and looked forward to the next rain with high spirits.

Although the weather has been hot and the temperature has been quite high recently, it seems that Nangong Yuheng is surrounded by air-conditioning, and the breeze is always refreshing, and the sky is often surrounded by cloudy clouds, and there is very little direct sunlight.

The sun can't get out of it, no wonder he is so white, Yue Ying thought to herself.

Passing through most of the imperial city, because it is the main city road, the road is open and the street is prosperous. It is the most developed and lively place in the country. Countless big merchants have set up shops here. The decoration is luxurious, and the row upon row of street shops reveals the stability and prosperity of the country. .

Pedestrians were all smiling, and they all showed admiration in their eyes when they saw the car team.

Nangong Yuheng's prestige is extremely high, not only because of the thunderous methods and state affairs that benefit the people, but also because of the rain that comes out of the palace all the year round, and the people really feel the benefits he brings to them.

As an emperor with little real power, Nangong Qi seldom appeared in front of the public. Nangong Yuheng was more like the lord of a country. Of course, in fact, he was indeed more of a lord of a country.

The team staggered to Beicheng District, and there were fewer pedestrians, but their direction was very unified, and the goal was the largest rain praying platform in the country.

The name of the platform for praying for rain is called platform for praying for rain.

As the name suggests, it is an open and sunken place with a high platform in the middle. Except for the many complicated patterns and pictures painted on the ground, there are no other objects, and it looks bare.

It is such a place, and there are hundreds of similar venues all over the country, of different sizes, with only one function, which is to pray for rain.

Proof of how thirsty this country is for water.

This is also the reason why the former emperor, Yue Ying's father, and the previous generations of emperors aggressively recruited troops to invade other countries. Without water, there is no farming, and in order to survive, they can only plunder and support the country through war.

This strategy has brought remarkable results to Yunze Nation from the very beginning. In just a few decades, Yunze Nation has transformed from a desolate land into a prosperous country.

However, the long-term consumption and the sharp decline of young and strong men also laid the groundwork for the downfall of Yunze Kingdom.

Yueying was supported by Nangong Yuheng to stand on the platform for praying for rain. Standing on the high point and looking around, she saw many people following, kneeling in the specially dug space around the platform for rain piously and orderly. , as if worshiping, which made her a little nervous, after all, she didn't have the real ability to rain.

"Shouldn't you come up?"

She bent her head and whispered to Nangong Yuheng, but she was surprised that her deliberately low voice was amplified several times, transmitted from all directions and then transmitted back, which sounded louder than her usual voice.

She immediately fell silent and looked around suspiciously.

Nangong Yuheng stood under the stage and couldn't help laughing, but his laughter was not amplified like hers.

Yueying frowned and thought about it, seeing him in a different position from hers, she suddenly understood.

The design of this rain praying platform is like this. Due to the concave curved surface design, as long as you stand in a specific position, the sound will be continuously refracted to form an echo, as if the sound is enlarged, and the sound is very ethereal. It seemed to come from the sky.

She looked down at Nangong Yuheng slightly annoyed, and was about to continue to say something, but when the breeze picked up and the dark clouds rolled in, his half-smiling voice was blown to her ears by the wind, as if whispering in her ears:

"Quick, let's start praying for rain."

It started too hastily, she froze and didn't respond, not knowing what to do.

Seeing the sky change, people kneeling around praying for rain shouted words such as "Long live the national teacher" and "God of rain".

"Your Highness read to me."

His voice whispered past his ears again.

As the wind blew, Yue Ying's dress fluttered on the high platform, like flowers swaying in the wind and rain.

"E'e Dazhang, the trickling Longjiang River."

Yue Ying hastily read:

"E'e... Dazhang, the trickling Longjiang River."

"The creation of heaven and earth, moral articles."

"Heaven... Heaven and earth are good fortune, moral articles." Stumbling almost bit his tongue.

"There is a ritual in releasing life, praying for rain everywhere."

His voice was steady and deep, gradually calming down her flustered heart due to her lack of proficiency.

After reading sentence by sentence, the dark clouds gathered to a certain extent, and the dark sky could not be seen at a glance, as if it covered the whole world, and the drizzle was falling, gradually expanding into heavy rain.

Her voice did not weaken even in the torrential rain, as if some kind of mysterious spell was mixed in the sound of the rain and passed to everyone's ears. Everyone happily accepted the rain bath and looked at the rain praying platform with more devout eyes.

The vastness of the world was connected by the heavy rain, but Yueying's whole body was dry and tidy, she knew that Nangong Yuheng was manipulating the rain.

Although he was the one who made the rain, Yue Ying somehow felt a sense of accomplishment, because her position seemed extremely important, as if the rain could not fall without her.

She lowered her eyes contentedly, and looked at the person who had been secretly whispering to her through the wind. Their eyes met, and Yueying suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

The scene in front of him was distorted and blurred again.

The system prompt sounds as scheduled:
"Trigger key memories! Congratulations on opening the retrospective."

After spinning around for a while, opening his eyes again is another scene.

The sun was scorching outside the window, cicadas honking, the air was distorted and steaming, Yue Ying stared out of the window with her chin resting in boredom, a thin layer of sticky sweat appeared on her body, and she felt very uncomfortable.

She straightened up suddenly, and turned her head to look around blankly.

"Is memory recall so easy to open?"

In just two days, she turned it on twice.

This made her a little dazed, and she couldn't even tell which side was reality.

One second it was still raining with Nangong Yuheng, the air was humid and cold, and the next second it was in this scorching environment, the gap was really big.

But this is also a good thing, the more frequently the memory recall is turned on, the faster she can complete the task.

The place she is in is probably a sleeping hall, which is more than one grade higher than the bamboo house in the deserted garden before. Considering that she was assigned to Concubine Yuan in the last retrospective, then this should be Concubine Yuan's residence.

First, I went to the bronze mirror to take a look, and when I stood up, I realized that I had grown a lot taller than last time. The girl in the mirror was indeed no longer so immature, but she was not a few years older. I guess two or three years had passed. .

She ran out, and immediately saw Concubine Yuan who was tossing a pot of flowers and plants outside the door.

"Concubine Yuan." She blurted out naturally, as if she had called her so familiarly hundreds of times.

Based on their current relationship, should they be called that?She was a little puzzled, but Concubine Yuan didn't feel wrong when she turned her head to look at her, probably what she called it all the time.

It seems that although it is a memory recall, she herself will be affected by the habits of the characters and make some behaviors that conform to the habits.

She breathed a sigh of relief, so that she would not act too silly and abrupt.

"what happened?"

Concubine Yuan's cheeks were flushed from the sun's heat.

She muttered again:

"The weather is really tough. The flowers I planted with great difficulty are half dead, and I don't know if I can survive it."

Yue Ying looked at the flower pot, the soil was dry, and the plants on it were also sickly with leaves hanging down, lifeless.

"Your Majesty, have you seen Nangong?"

She asked naturally, because he was not seen around, and the two of them were inseparable on weekdays, where did this kid go today?
It's been a few years, he should have gained some weight.

"Nangong," Concubine Yuan blinked her beautiful eyes suspiciously, "I haven't seen him here for more than half a month, why did you think of looking for him?"

Now it's Yueying's turn to be confused, I haven't seen him for more than half a month! ?
The matter was completely out of her imagination. Facing Concubine Yuan's probing gaze, she pursed her lips and thought quickly. Could it be that the two of them were having an awkward relationship, or for some other reason? In short, she had to meet him in person to find out.

"It's been a long time since I saw him, so I want to find him."

She answered cautiously while observing Concubine Yuan's expression.

"I don't know too well, this child, when you asked him to come and live with you, he just didn't want to come."

She shook her head, acting like a child with hard thoughts.

"Nine times out of ten, it's in Huangyuan. I have met you before." The maid who was waiting at the side thought of something, and interjected in a warm voice.

"I'm going to Huangyuan." Feeling bad in her heart, Yue Ying hurriedly greeted her, and before Concubine Yuan could nod, she had already run outside the door.

"So urgent?" Concubine Yuan frowned slightly, talking to herself.

　The structure of the platform for praying for rain is borrowed from the Temple of Heaven, and the principle is probably similar to the echo wall of the Temple of Heaven, but not exactly the same.When praying for rain, the text of praying for rain is read, which comes from the Internet.
