The infinite beast garden

Chapter 166 Sacrifice
Chapter 170: Sacrifice

"Come on, come on, don't knock anymore, I told you that the master is not at home, so you..."

The door opened, and an old figure appeared in front of Li Xing, complaining endlessly in his mouth, it seems that he was messed up by the visitor during this period of time.

Seeing the door open, Li Xing also lifted the hat of the windbreaker on his head, and looked at the old man in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Laifu, why don't you hurry up to greet the master when he comes back." Li Xing asked pretendingly serious.

"Old, master, you are back." Just said that the whole person knelt down on the ground and hugged Li Xing's thigh and wailed loudly: "Master, you are finally back, I, I thought you would not come back."

"Okay, okay, isn't this back? Hurry up and get me something to eat, Master." Li Xing pulled out his thigh and said with a wry smile.

This action made Yin Ruiji and Hongdie on the side even more amused, they couldn't stop giggling, Laifu also looked up and saw the two of them, he quickly stood up and saluted Yin Ruiji.

"The old slave is blessed, I have seen my wife."

Yin Ruiji also returned the courtesy: "No need to be too polite, let's go in!"

Following Li Xing's return home, the entire manor was brightly lit. Although it was already dark, the servants in the manor were full of energy and enthusiasm.

After half a year of spreading and singing, it has now spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and Li Xing's name has been spread all over the country along with these six poems, even those small countries that admire Han culture continue to sing.

Seeing the return of his star-like master, who doesn't want to take a few more glances and hang around in front of the master to see if he can get the master's appreciation, especially those maids, which made Hong Die's mouth on the sidelines Those who stick up can hang oil bottles, and keep those maids approaching like thieves. Li Xing does everything by himself, and he doesn't want to borrow the hands of others.

Three days passed in a flash, and Li Xing also learned about everything that happened in the capital of the gods. A month ago, the Fuyu country violated the border, and Empress Wu sent [-] sailors to suppress the enemy. Encountering the Dragon King, the entire [-] sailors were annihilated and there were no survivors. At this time, the people of the Tang Dynasty paid a lot of money to sacrifice to the Dragon King to save their lives.

"To the Queen."

On the turret of the imperial palace, Wu Zetian looked downstairs with her hands behind her hands, looking majestically at the scene of the gods. Behind her, a large number of guards stood guarding. Respectfully said: "The minister has found out that the reason why the people worship the Dragon King so madly is because the incense sellers are advocating worship for a moment."

Empress Wu turned to Yuchi Zhenjin and asked, "Who is behind the scenes that the people are so crazy about offering sacrifices to the Dragon King?"

Although the voice seemed soft, there was a sense of majesty and domineering in it.

Hearing Empress Wu's question, Yuchi Zhenjin quickly replied: "Yes, the Taichang Temple, which is in charge of ceremonies, selects official prostitutes according to the tortoise divination to go to the Dragon King Temple to observe the precepts for three years."

"Official prostitute?"

"This woman is the official prostitute of Yanzilou who was elected as the Oiran of Luoyang, Lu Ji. It is said that after being elected, Lu Ji offended a lot of dignitaries in the court because she refused to see guests. In order to force her to submit and sacrifice herself, she was selected and sent to the temple."

"Ridiculous," Empress Wu yelled angrily, "A single official prostitute can cause trouble all over the city. Also, I remember that Yin Ruiji is not the oiran of Yanzi Tower?"

"This Lu Ji is an official prostitute re-selected after Yin Rui Ji disappeared."

"After disappearing." After hearing this disappearance, Empress Wu narrowed her eyes slightly, and asked Ling Ran with a murderous look inside: "Did he find it?"

Empress Wu's words were full of coldness, which made Yuchi Zhenjin beside him tremble all over, lowered his head even more, and said in a low voice: "No."

"Hmph, trash."

"Yes, I deserve to die."

"Okay, let's investigate this matter slowly. Let's talk about the destruction of the warship first." After speaking, he walked towards the damaged warship and asked, "Have you found any clues about the destruction of the warship?"

Yuchi Zhenjin heaved a sigh of relief and pointed at the warships, saying, "These two warships were towed back due to minor damage, and the rest cannot be saved..."

"That's enough, don't tell me what I know." Empress Wu glanced at Yuchi Zhenjin angrily and said.

"Chen, I'm still investigating."

Empress Wu looked a little disdainful, turned around and continued to look at the damaged warship; "What is there to find out, if there is a Dragon King, I will not have to fight after the Tang Dynasty." His tone suddenly changed: "Yuchi Zhenjin, your Dali Temple I have always been quick to solve cases, this case is urgent, and people with ulterior motives must not take the opportunity to make trouble, how many days do you think it will take?"

Seeing that Yuchi Zhenjin was silent, Empress Wu continued: "The current national crisis, let me help you! Ten days, if the truth cannot be found out within ten days, please come and see me."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, Yuchi Zhenjin behind him knelt down on one knee and said heavily: "Zunzhi."

Only Empress Wu murmured: "Find a firework girl to make a fuss about. These old ministers don't know what they are paying attention to."

……

"Rui Ji, let's go shopping." Li Xing said to Yin Rui Ji who was reading a book at the side.

"My lord, my lord, I'm going too."

"Okay, let's go together." Li Xing said with a big laugh.

He pulled the two of them laughing and walked towards the door. As for Yin Ruiji, he found a veil to cover his face. In his words, he was watched by various people in the first half of his life, and lived for his husband in the second half of his life. , this face is only for the husband.

Of course, it was also brought in order not to cause trouble for Li Xing.

Crowds were crowded on the street, shoulder to shoulder. Today, the street was blocked because the oiran was chosen to sacrifice to the Dragon King, and the common people lined up to welcome him.

Looking at the dancing Lu Ji on the float, Yin Rui Ji also looked pale and trembled all over.

Noticing something strange, Li Xing put his arms around Yin Ruiji's shoulder and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Rui Ji."

"Husband, you said that if the concubine did not meet you, then would the person above today be the concubine?" Yin Ruiji pointed at Lu Ji with a pale face.

Yin Ruiji's words stunned Li Xing. Indeed, Li Xing, who understood the plot, knew that without Li Xing's intervention, the person who sacrificed to the Dragon King was indeed Yin Ruiji in front of him. But also after a bit of cold.

"No matter what, your fate has changed now. With your husband here, we will be a heavenly couple forever." Li Xing comforted in a warm voice.

"Well, the fairy couple." Just said in a smaller voice: "Thank you husband, it is my blessing to meet you."

Then run and jump happily with the red butterfly.

After everyone had played for a while, seeing that the oiran had been sent to the Dragon King Temple, Li Xing smiled, and after sending the two daughters back to the manor, he turned and walked towards the Dragon King Temple.
