History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 72
"Please also ask Sima to stay temporarily."

After Su Bo hurried back to his palace, Dazai stopped Sima who was about to go to the border.

Sima has been waiting for this order for many days. It stands to reason that he should have gone to Yue Kingdom for the choice, but he had to go without the order.

Sima stopped, and Uncle Zong on the side had no intention of leaving. Instead, he stared at Da Zai's arm.

Sima said: "You are really willing to sacrifice yourself to summon Fuxi's ancestors... But so what if you summon them, can the ancestors really stop Yuejun?"

"Or……"

Sima took Da Zai's sleeves open and saw that they were densely covered with snake scales.

He was shocked and said: "What you call human sacrifice is to enter the old site of the Great Court!"

Dazai smiled and covered the snake scales with his sleeves.

"Don't you already know this? Why should you be surprised?"

Sima and Zongbo were silent, they just didn't want to accept it...

Uncle Zong said: "This matter of opening the old palace site with a sacrifice requires the person who is officiating the sacrifice and the person who is being sacrificed."

"The person being sacrificed needs the blood of the Fuxi family and the Nuwa family. How will you arrange it?"

Uncle Zong had already accepted Dazai's plan, so he was not surprised at this time.

Dazai said: "Fengjun will preside over the sacrifice and be the one who kills the snake demon."

The person who presides over the sacrifice lives, and the person being sacrificed dies!

"Huh?" Sima was surprised. He thought that Dazai would serve as the chief priest in order to enter the old site of DaTing and find the important treasure Fuxi left in DaTing in the old site - the River Map!
But he gave Feng Yun the opportunity...

And the snake demon.

"That's the Nuwa clan, Dazai." Sima said with a guilty look on his face: "Uncle Yang died before because he was looking for the old site of Da Ting, and the Nuwa clan was also stabbed once, and her injury has not healed. If she digs out her heart again now, it will be true. He is dead, how can we..."

"Sima." Dazai stopped what Sima was about to say.

"Nuwa saved my family from crisis a hundred years ago, but because of it, she was infected with the evil spirit, and she was in pain. Instead of letting her live like this again, it is better to send her to Ji Nuwa's knees."

Sima was speechless, sighed and shook his head.

"I don't care what you do. I know how to do my duty as a Sima. I'll go to the border and you can make your own plans."

"Wait a minute, you go to the border, not to guard the border, but to gather troops into the capital to protect the Feng clan. When the Yuejun enters the Da Ting Kingdom, then use the power of Hetu to destroy them all..."

"If the sacrifice fails, these armored soldiers can protect the Feng family."

Sima was about to leave and stopped for a moment.

"You are making a desperate move, and I won't accompany you!" Sima said angrily.

But Dazai said: "The reason why the Yue Qi Refiner is not just the river map of our great court, but the same is true for his Yuejun. He will definitely drive straight in and break into the capital of my great court."

Hearing this, Sima took a deep breath and said, "Humph, let's wait until you can persuade Lord Feng to agree to participate in the sacrifice."

Immediately, Sima strode away.

But here, Uncle Zong said silently: "Are you ready to sacrifice yourself?"

Sacrifice requires the Nuwa family and the Fuxi family. If the Nuwa family already exists, then the Fuxi family is needed. The Dating clan is one of the direct descendants of the Fuxi family.

Dazai planned to let Feng Yun perform the sacrifice, so the only ones to be sacrificed would be the Nuwa family, plus another one, the Fuxi family.

Dazai smiled and didn't answer.

Uncle Zong sighed and said, "Are you really sure that this sacrifice will be successful?"

This time it was really a desperate move. From what Zongbo saw, it would be difficult to save the country unless he surrendered and gave up the secret of the river map.

But this secret also requires the sacrifice of the Feng family's children, which is really helpless.

"I have said that Fuxi's ancestors are not revealed because the great court has not yet reached the critical stage of survival. Moreover, although Yang Bo is dedicated to governing the country, his talent is dull and it is difficult for his ancestors to recognize him, so he cannot succeed."

"What kind of talent is Mr. Feng? Don't you know yet? Our court has been waiting for hundreds of years. Even without the threat of the Qi Refiner, we should give it a try."

Dazai said categorically, word for word: "Only because of Mr. Feng!"

"Just because of Lord Feng?" Uncle Zong was stunned, then laughed.

"Dazai, you trust him more than me."

"Hmph." Dazai snorted angrily: "When I was young, I was also very high-spirited and felt that I was the most talented person in Datong. But when I look at him again this time, I realize how ridiculous I was back then."

After laughing, Uncle Zong asked worriedly: "How to invite Lord Feng? You left him in the court before, maybe you have a plan?"

Hearing the sound, the chief minister closed his eyes and said hesitantly: "In the name of the leader of the Lieutenants, we perform sacrifices before the war, not only to inform the ancestors and descendants of the tragedy, but also to arouse the indignation of the people in the city."

"I think that as the wife of Young Master Lie, Lord Feng should be present to preside over the sacrifice."

Hearing this, Uncle Zong was furious. "You, you, where did you put Young Master Lie!"

If this battle fails, Gongzi Lie, who is the name of the sacrifice, will definitely be derogated by the historians and listed as a star of disaster!

But Uncle Zong was trembling, but it was difficult to say another word, because nothing else could move Feng Yun.

Even Uncle Zong himself has long since lost all his affection, and the small things and small gains he had made before were just compensation.

Dazai said: "I will tell you personally."

After Dazai said this, he held his wooden cane and left slowly.

The direction he went to was exactly where Feng Yun was at the Palace of Classics.

In the main hall, Uncle Zong could only sigh. He could no longer see clearly the fate of the main hall.

This time it was a gamble.

But when he thought of Feng Yun's talent, he felt that he had a chance of winning and was willing to accompany him with his body.

"The future of Da Ting is left to you."

……

In the palace of classics, Feng Yun is reading a book.

It was almost dusk, and Sergeant Wu was guarding him. Seeing that it was already late, he was ready to go outside to get food.

But at this time, Dazai arrived.

Behind Da Zai, there were many guards and doctors following him.

Sergeant Wu hurriedly saluted and stood guard.

The guards brought by Dazai stood in the courtyard, and Dazai entered the inner room alone.

When Feng Yun raised his head and saw Da Zai, he was not surprised by his appearance.

How can the cracks in the literary world be easily resolved? The fact that he did not die or collapse was a sign of his tenacity.

In this regard, Feng Yun admired the great master's will.

"I've met Mr. Feng." Dazai saluted politely, waved his hand, and a bamboo mat flew from the distance, and he sat cross-legged in front of Feng Yun.

There was only a low table between the two of them.

Before the military sergeant could consciously leave, Dazai said: "I came here to ask Mr. Feng to participate in the pre-war sacrifice in the great court."

"I'm not going." Feng Yun looked at the bamboo slips and didn't want to talk to Dazai.

Dazai said: "Why is Lord Feng like this? Is it possible that my appearance like this is not enough to offset the anger in Lord Feng's heart?"

"Fengjun, I didn't hurt my sister-in-law."

Feng Yun chuckled.

"Da Zai, not to mention that Yun is just a commoner now."

"Just talking about Da Zai's words, is it possible that he is not guilty of intimidation?"

"It should be noted that Yun has to take Dazai's threats seriously, lest Dazai actually takes action."

Seeing this, the chief minister lowered his head slightly and said in a quiet voice: "Master Feng, for this pre-battle sacrifice, I want to sacrifice Young Master Lie's head to commemorate the sorrow of the Feng family, to arouse the sorrow of the people, and to achieve the grief and indignation of the great court. , use this to fight against the enemy..."

hum!
Feng Yun gathered an angry sword beside him.

Sergeant Wu was shocked!

The guards in the courtyard were frightened and rushed into the inner room.

But Dazai seemed not to have heard anything and continued: "Feng Jun is the wife of Young Master Lie, so I want to ask Feng Jun to be the chief sacrifice before the war..."

"If Fengjun is angry, he can kill me at any time. I only hope that Fengjun can preside over the war!"
