Chapter 14 Midnight, the little uncle treats you well* ask for a monthly ticket](1/2)
When the princess travels, the ceremonial guards will naturally not be weak. The soldiers guarded the entire inn and surrounded the entire inn.
The inn was also brightly lit, and the soldiers patrolled back and forth, and the maids were waiting for their master's summons at any time in the inn.
"I don't know what the king is thinking, but he actually gave the princess to the Dragon Prince!" Several soldiers who were replaced by rotation looked at the inn room where the princess was located and said.
"What else can you do? When the king is old, he naturally wants to live forever, so he was bewitched and gave the princess to the Dragon Prince for the elixir of immortality!" said a soldier.
"What a pity that the princess has just passed by her old age!" sighed.
"You said there is really an elixir in this world?" A soldier asked in confusion.
"If there is really, then I'll ask Taoism. What's the difference between asking for medicine from the Dragon Prince and dreaming!" said Captain Arsenal.
"So this is the real purpose of King Kaoli!" Wu Chenzi was a little surprised.
He was still wondering how the witches and powerful ministers of Chu State deceived the King of Chu to give his daughter to the Dragon King, but now he understood.
How many temptations cannot be rejected by kings? If the king in his youth could resist such temptations, but when he is old, who can give up the rights in his hands?
While thinking about it, Ji Bu sneaked towards the attic where the princess was.
"The shadow tiger in the flower, this shadow's body movement is pretty good, but it's a bit worse than the Moh family's Light God Walking Stroll and Bai Feng's Feng Wu Jiutian!" Wu Chenzi looked at Ji Bu using the light and shadow to avoid the gaze of all the guards and smiled and a stone popped up.
"Damn it, there are other experts!" Ji Bu felt the sound of the stones breaking through the air behind him, but because he was hiding in the shadow of the tree and surrounded by the guards, he had to silently bear the attack of the stones and dare not fight back.
"It's quite endurable!" Wu Chenzi smiled, and three more stones flew out.
"Come back!" Ji Bu's heart trembled. From the first stone, he knew that the person coming was no less than his. Now the enemy is dark and I am bright. The most important thing is that he dare not fight back.
"Ah~" Three screams came out.
Ji Bu flew back instantly and left the post station. The three stones did not fly towards him, but another group of lurkers.
"Who!" The guards immediately drew their swords and unsheathed them, surrounded the princess' loft, and lit up all torches, illuminating the entire inn.
"Save the princess!" A group of men in black appeared in the sight of the soldiers, no longer hid, and picked up their long swords and rushed towards the soldiers.
"Kill!" The princess guard leader directly ordered the arrow to be fired. In an instant, the arrows were like locusts, and the harsh sound of arrows breaking through the air came.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the men in black invaded were injured and killed, and the battle ended.
"There is still a master in the dark!" Ji Bu and Ying Bu had been away from him for a long time and were not affected by the battle.
"Princess, this is the king's order, so don't resist unnecessary resistance. The people you know are just playboys, and those who can get to know are all the wild beasts. Compared with our Chu State Imperial Guard, it is far from that." The leader of the armored soldiers came to the door of the princess' room and said lightly.
"You!" A crisp sound like an oriole came from the princess' attic, but it showed the master's anger.
"He said it right, who can you know?" After a while, Wu Chenzi disguised himself as Miya, and sat at the table in the princess's boudoir and said.
"Who are you!" Princess Lianying of Chu Guo looked at the beautiful young man who suddenly appeared in her room and asked in a low voice.
"Good mind, I know if I won't attract guards!" Wu Chenzi said with a smile.
"Confucianism, Midnight, the princess must have heard of it?" Wu Chenzi said with a smile.
What I thought in my heart was, Midnight and Midnight, it was the great apricot fruit, and I was looking for a wife for you. My uncle is good to you. What is the best thing about Confucianism? Come to Taoism quickly, and give me cultivation and wife for you. If you are a bachelor, Master Fu Nian, you will be destined to be lonely sooner or later.
"The first young Confucian generation!" Lianying then saw Wu Chenzi's appearance clearly through the candlelight.
"Curiosity is the world of women. Once you become curious about someone, you will be unable to help but admire the girl, especially a man as outstanding as me in Midnight!" Wu Chenzi said with a smile.
"Tu~" Lianying's pretty face turned slightly red. The core disciple of Confucianism did not enter the Chu State because of Xunzi, so she had never seen a real Confucian disciple, so she was attracted by Midnight's elegance for a while.
"Let me tell you a little story before going to bed, and you can have a good sleep after listening!" Wu Chenzi continued to smile.
"I'm going to marry the Dragon King, what else is there to say!" Lianying shook her head and said complainingly.
"Shut up, listen to me, it's your business whether to sleep or not!" Wu Chenzi directly interrupted her resentment and said.
"You said!" Lianying then spoke.
"During the time of Wei Wenhou, there was a minister in the State of Wei named Ximen Bao. Does the princess know?" Wu Chenzi asked.
"It has been so many years since Marquis Wei Wen, how could I know!" Lianying said speechlessly.
"It's true that it's Manchu. How can you keep up with me if you don't study!" Wu Chenzi mocked.
"You!" Lianying looked at Wu Chenzi angrily, sooner or later he would kill you one day!
"Although it took a long time, the situation was the same. At that time, the world was drought, just like now. The drought lasted for many years. Ximen Bao was ordered to manage Ye County. At that time, Ye County was not the Ye City of Wei. The people were suffering and the people were in poverty." Wu Chenzi continued.
"Yecheng of Wei is one of the largest cities in Wei. You are sure that you are not lying to me!" Lianying said to Wu Chenzi.
The Yecheng of Wei State is the richest city in Wei State except Daliang and Anyi. It is one of the top seven countries. How could it be a small county town?
"All cities have been developed from small villages and towns, of course, there are exceptions like Xianyang!" Wu Chenzi said.
"You keep going!" Lian Ying nodded and said.
"After Ximen Bao arrived in Ye County, he summoned all the three elders and elders from Ye County to inquire about the disaster in Ye County, and then ordered the digging of the Zhang River, the construction of water conservancy, and the use of water to irrigate to overcome the disaster." Wu Chenzi continued.
"Is it the current Yecheng?" Lianying thought about it and asked.
"Yes, the current Zhanghe Canal was built during Ximen Bao's administration." Wu Chenzi nodded.
"What does that have to do with me now?" Lianying asked with a frown.
"Yes, after the order was issued, no one started construction in the entire Ye County, and even the corvee prisoners were unwilling to dig rivers and canals." Wu Chenzi said.
"Why?" Lianying asked with a frown.
"Like Dongting Lake, even in the year of great disasters, did your Chu State not let the people dig Dongting and develop rivers and canals to irrigate the land?" Wu Chenzi asked back.
"It's different. We are because the people believe in the Dragon King and dare not dig rivers and canals!" Lian Ying retorted directly.
"Do you believe? People are going to starve to death, who will care about these things?" Wu Chenzi asked back.
Lianying was silent. These were all told by others, but Wu Chenzi's words made her more agree with it. People were about to starve to death, so who would care about what god?
"So, Ximen Bao personally inspected the Zhang River and found that the locals believed in the river god and believed that the river god could bring rain to them. Therefore, under the auspices of the three elders and Wu Zhu, they took out all the beautiful women and the wealth in their homes and gave them to the river god!" Wu Chenzi continued.
Lianying was stunned and blurted out: "Isn't that the same as the Chu State now?"
"Shut up and keep listening! Man Chu is Man Chu, you don't know any etiquette!" Wu Chenzi glared at him and said.
Lianying shut up and stood aside and listened like a good baby.
"So, Ximen Bao returned to the official office and invited the three elders to ask when the next time the River God was married. As the county magistrate of Ye County, he would also give the River God a great gift!" Wu Chenzi continued.
Lianying looked at Wu Chenzi, but her heart was stunned. Isn’t this the same as the officials of Chu State now? She believed in the River God and even gave her a gift. She was about to speak, but she thought that Wu Chenzi would not allow her to interrupt, so she could only shut up and listen.
"The three elders and Wu Zhu were very happy to tell Ximen Bao the next time the river god was married, and said that he would definitely inform the river god of this matter. Then when the river god was married again, there were no people in the streets, and all the people in Ye County squeezed to the edge of the Zhang River to watch the river god of this time marrying." Wu Chenzi continued.
Lianying didn't say anything, she knew the point was coming.
"You are not curious, how did Mr. Ximen Bao do it?" Wu Chenzi looked at Lianying and asked, "If you don't speak like this, I'm very unpresented when I tell stories alone!"
"It's not that you didn't let me interrupt!" Lian Ying was angry.
"Yes, so shut up!" Wu Chenzi was satisfied.
"You~" Lianying was speechless.
"On the day when the river god got married, all the witches and witches gathered on the edge of the Zhang River and presided over the ceremony. Ximen Bao watched quietly without any disturbance. The three witches and witches also felt that the new county lord was particularly sensible and became more energetic when sacrifices were made." Wu Chenzi said.
"Can you just say the point!" Lianying was even more speechless. What I want to listen to is your rendering of the atmosphere?
"At a young age, there is no patience at all, and deserves to marry the Dragon Prince!" Wu Chenzi said.
Lianying shut up again, your mouth will be torn apart sooner or later!
"However, just when the witches were about to send the woman into the river, Ximen Bao said, "The woman who married the Dragon King must be of unparalleled national beauty. His daughter is just at the age of marriage, so it is better to let his daughter replace him!" Wu Chenzi said.
"What? He wants to marry his daughter to the River God. Could it be that the wealth in Ye County was obtained by him for his sacrifice to his daughter?" Lianying was shocked. It was not the same as himself.
No wonder my father wanted to marry himself to the Dragon King, because he wanted to exchange this for peace for the people around Dongting Lake.
"Shut up when you listen to the story!" Wu Chenzi interrupted her blind thoughts again.
"The three elders and the witches are all very happy. With the support of the county magistrate, their status will be higher, especially the people of Ye County have arrived." Wu Chenzi said.
"What then?" Lianying asked. If it could really bring peace and prosperity to the people and turn Dongting into the next Ye County, she would be able to marry the Dragon King.
"Then Ximen Bao said that the sacrifice had begun to not be interrupted, so he asked the witches to ask the river god if they could slow down. They would change to a girl." Wu Chenzi said.
"Can the witches do it?" Lianying asked curiously.
"Of course, Ximen Bao asked the soldiers to throw all the witches in Ye County into the Zhang River and send them to see the river god." Wu Chenzi said playfully.
"Then what, the witches asked?" Lianying asked anxiously.
"You are really stupid!" Wu Chenzi was speechless. I have been talking for so long, but you still don't know that Ximen Bao really sent them to see the River God.
"I didn't ask, I waited for a long time, but I didn't see the witches coming back. So Ximen Bao said again that the river god might be angry, and asked the three elders to persuade the river god not to get angry. They could increase the dowry as compensation, so they asked the soldiers to send the three elders from Ye County to meet the river god again." Wu Chenzi said.
"Ah~ This, have the three elders seen the River God?" Lianying continued to ask.
"When I saw it, the river god was very happy. Then I stayed Wu Zhu and the three elders as guests in the mansion and never came back!" Wu Chenzi said, but shook his head. It was said that Chu State was superstitious, and he didn't believe it very much. Now he really believed it.
Normal people know that Ximen Bao is breaking the theory of the river god. You will actually believe that there is a river god!
"What happened later?" Lianying asked.
"Later, Ximen Bao said that the river god saw that they were too honest and did not want any marriage or dowry. He allowed them to dig the Zhang River, build water conservancy, nourish the earth, and raise Ye County, so that they can have the current Yecheng!" Wu Chenzi said.
