Your Highness, the Crown Princess is investigating the case again!

Chapter 211: The Sacrifice Begins

Shen Luo supported the oars on the canoe, looked at Xie Yunsheng beside him, and asked softly, "Have you ever noticed anything wrong with the canoe? Did you find anything wrong with those villagers?"

Xie Yunsheng looked at the villagers who were preparing for the sacrificial ceremony, and said softly: "They are all doing things according to the rules, there should be nothing wrong with them."

"It's just that this boat always feels a little weird." Xie Yunsheng looked at the canoe under Shen Luo's feet, frowned and said, "But it can't be seen from the surface."

Shen Luo stepped on the wooden board under his feet, and replied in a deep voice: "I still remember what the old woman said, the dances for the sacrifices, the boats for the sacrifices, and the fireworks for the sacrifices must be made according to certain specifications, and even draw the blueprints for everyone to follow. For production, it is required to be exactly the same as the size on the drawing."

"Don't you find it strange?" She looked at Xie Yunsheng and asked softly.

"It's a little strange." During the reply, Xie Yunsheng carried Shen Luo off the boat, carefully looked at the size and position of the boat in front of him, and replied softly: "Did you see any clues?"

Shen Luo replied softly: "You are right, the boat has been tampered with, and if it is combined with the special dance of the priest, the structure of the boat will be changed."

Shen Luo raised her eyes to look at the distant sky, and whispered: "I remember that the national teacher of Emperor Yuan once predicted that a person surnamed Xie would win the world. Do you think that national teacher is the one who asked the villagers of Yanshan Village to sacrifice to the Dragon King?" people."

"I still remember when you and I met, there was a case of child abduction."

Shen Luo asked a question, and then continued: "After the trafficked children were returned to the victim's home, I heard them say that the reason why Emperor Yuan became irritable was because the imperial teacher who bewitched Emperor Yuan was greedy and lustful. Satisfying one's own selfish desires encouraged Yuan Emperor to increase taxes, recruit concubines, and even promiscuously in the harem."

"Those two people are old people in the palace, they are very clear about the affairs in the palace, they said that the national teacher has some skills, it can even be said that he has profound Taoism, and he played Emperor Yuan in his hands."

Shen Luo looked back at Xie Yunsheng and asked, "You should know these things, right?"

"I know the prophecy of the national teacher, and I also know that the national teacher has some skills." Xie Yunsheng looked at the unique mark on the canoe, and said in a deep voice: "I heard from my master that the national teacher seems to be with you. My master came out of the same sect, and he was also my master's uncle, but for unknown reasons, he was expelled from the sect."

"My master said that the national teacher next to Emperor Yuan was so talented that he could even call the wind and call the rain. He was very proficient in the art of divination, and he was very proficient."

As he said that, Xie Yunsheng's eyes flickered a gleam: "Yes, I remembered when you said that. The only person who was expelled from the school in these years is the national teacher Cang Qing."

Xie Yunsheng took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "If our opponent is really Cangqing, the master of the Yuan Empire, it may be a difficult battle, are you sure?"

Xie Yunsheng looked at Shen Luo, quietly waiting for Xie Chenluo's answer.

"You have to do it to know if you are sure." Shen Luo looked at Xie Yunsheng, and said softly: "If the old Taoist priest who bewitched the villagers of Yanshan Village is really Yuan Emperor's national teacher——Cang Qing, I can't let go. pass him."

"Your Majesty and Your Majesty have treated me with great kindness and love, how can I let go of an old Taoist priest who may almost kill His Majesty?" Shen Luo said without hesitation what was in her heart .

I don't know when, Shen Luo has been sincere and wholehearted to Xie Yunsheng, without hiding anything.

Seeing the sun setting slowly, Xie Yunsheng reminded softly: "Luo'er, it's getting late, go back and rest earlier!"

Shen Luo looked into the distance following Xie Yunsheng's gaze, and said softly: "Okay, let's go back first!"

She has made a decision and will never look back.

If that person is really tender, she will never let him go.

Xie Yunsheng raised his hand to support Shen Luo's body, letting Shen Luo step on the stones and walk to her side: "Pay attention to your feet."

On the way, Xie Yunsheng looked at Shen Luo at the side, and asked softly: "You have only watched the sacrificial dance twice, can you really remember it?"

Shen Luo glanced back at Xie Yunsheng: "Are you still doubting me?"

The orange-yellow sunset sprinkled on Shen Luo's face, the curled eyelashes seemed to carry a layer of soft light, and the amber eyes were dazzling. Xie Yunsheng was a little dazed, and couldn't answer for a long time.

Shen Luo looked at Xie Yunsheng's dazed eyes, and raised her hand to shake in front of her. Seeing that she didn't respond at all, she asked softly, "What's wrong? Why don't you answer?"

Xie Yunsheng suddenly came back to his senses, and whispered: "It's nothing, I just panicked for a while."

Shen Luo somewhat understood the reason for Xie Yunsheng's cold voice, ignored his answer, and stepped forward: "Don't think about other things, it's getting late, let's go back early!"

"There are still important things to do tomorrow." Shen Luo reminded softly.

Now is not the time to talk about these things, they want more important things to do.

Xie Yunsheng followed Shen Luo's pace, and said softly: "Tomorrow is our first New Year, I never expected to encounter such a thing."

Shen Luo said, "It's okay, I don't care."

As long as we are together.

Xie Yunsheng, for me, you are a gift from God to me, and I don't care where I am with you.

As the sun set, Xie Yunsheng walked with Shen Luo, his eyes full of guilt, and they were silent along the way.

Shen Luo didn't look back, but still felt Xie Yunsheng's melancholy, and said softly: "I have never had a complete New Year in these years."

"On New Year's Eve, every household was laughing and chatting, and on the first day of the first lunar month, everything had nothing to do with me. I could only watch from a distance, and then I didn't even dare to look at it. I just hid in the mountains alone."

"To have you by my side now is a great gift to me." Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Luo quietly took Xie Yunsheng's hand.

"Xie Yunsheng, no matter what we will meet tomorrow, it will be harmless to me, because you are by my side." Shen Luo took Xie Yunsheng's hand and paced forward: "Xie Yunsheng, my son I saw my mother and sister dancing together, and later Qiu Yuning also taught me."

"I'll show you the dance tomorrow."

New Year's Eve
Shen Luo got up early in the morning, and the old lady waited on her to change into the sacrificial clothes, and the accompanying priests escorted Shen Luo onto the boat with gongs and drums as if they were getting married.

A drum was set up on the canoe, and various sacrifices and property used for the sacrifice were placed on both sides of the canoe, and Xie Yunsheng hid it in it.

The sound of gongs, drums and suona subsided, and Xie Yunsheng was still hiding in the wooden box not to act rashly, paying attention to the movement around Shen Luo.

Shen Luo gently pushed open the wooden box and took out the gongs and drums: "It's hard to hold back! Let's breathe."

"Maybe that person has been watching around all the time. Don't move, so as not to startle the snake and mess up our plan."

As the words fell, Shen Luo stood up holding the mallet, and beat the drum set on the canoe!
