As soon as these words came out, there was a small commotion. Many people threw the black stones in their hands to the ground, and some people also lay down on the ground, their limbs twitching non-stop. Because most of them were women
, this kind of mischief and trouble is even more familiar. Many people simply let go of their braids and cried: "It's not fair, it's not fair. Only us commoner women are going to die, and all the officials' wives are fine?!"
Murong Lan's calm and majestic voice sounded from the tower: "Don't make trouble, look at it, what is this?"
This sentence, at this time, was worth ten thousand sentences. Everyone's crying and cursing suddenly stopped, leaving only the crackling sound of burning torches. Everyone looked up following the sound,
I saw that under the bright light, Murong Lan's hands were reflected, each holding a stone, but one was black and the other was white.
There was a burst of exclamation under the tower. Many people shook their heads in disbelief and widened their eyes: "This, how is this possible? Even Princess Lan..."
"The ancestors didn't open their eyes to the fact that a good person like Princess Lan actually..."
"That's not right. What happened to her? Why did she smoke two stones? What's going on?"
Murong Lan looked calm and said: "Fellow tribesmen and generals of Dayan, please take a look. I have taken two stones here, one for me and one for my newly born child Yizhen. Since we have decided to
All the old, weak, women and children in the city draw lots one stone at a time. I am no exception this time. I and my children will each draw once. You have all seen the result. A black piece is me.
I also won the lottery to leave the city, so I, Murong Lan, will leave the city tomorrow together with all of you who won the black stone, and let the Jin army do whatever they want."
At this point, she paused: "Now, do any of you still believe that only you common people can draw black stones? I can tell you responsibly, 2117 black stones, up to
From Queen Mother Gongsun to babies, everyone has the same chance!"
Empress Dowager Gongsun sighed softly and spread her hands. A white stone glowed in the firelight. She said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't draw the black stone. Ordinarily, this disaster was caused by my unscrupulous nephew."
I, the aunt, should be held responsible for what was caused by Gongsun's fifth floor. Princess Lan, I am willing to exchange this stone with you."
Murong Lan shook her head: "Queen Mother, you understand the righteousness well. If you hadn't come out to draw the lot today, I'm afraid the draw would not have happened. I said, it is the ancestors who decide the fate of each of us. It is the final decision."
For a fair result, no one can replace someone else's signature. Even if you have good intentions, I cannot accept it."
At this point, her eyes turned to He Lanmin, who was standing next to Empress Dowager Gongsun, bowing her head in silence and clenching her pink fists, and said: "Priest Helan, what is your result?"
He Lanmin's face was covered with sweat at this time. She bit her red lips tightly and gently raised her hands. It could be seen that her hands were shaking violently, showing her inner struggle and excitement.
The firelight reflected her pink fist. Under the beating candlelight, she slowly opened her hand. At this moment, her breathing almost stopped. A white stone was displayed in front of everyone.
, and He Lanmin's ecstatic voice echoed on the tower, louder than her crazy chanting when she danced to the Great God: "Ah, it's white stone, it's white. My ancestors have favored me. Thank you ancestors, thank God...
………”
She danced excitedly, almost singing and dancing, and fell into a brief incoherence.
As He Lanmin showed the lot, around her, the wives and daughters of the generals also opened their hands and unfolded the stones in their palms. Six or seven people drew black stones and collapsed on the ground.
, crying incessantly, some forced a smile, threw away the black stone in their hands, knelt down and crossed their hands on their chests, and began to pray to heaven, just like the oaths made by the soldiers before going out for the battle, and more of them cried with joy after drawing the white stone, and looked at each other.
To celebrate, at this moment, in front of this sign of life and death, all aspects of life are vividly displayed.
At this time, no one in the square under the city doubted the fairness of the lottery. Everyone took turns to come forward and draw their own destiny in the bag. The person who drew the white stone was relieved, and the person who drew the black stone was relieved.
Holding hands and crying, soon, in the square below the city, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only more than two thousand people who had drawn the black stone. On top of the city tower, the people who had drawn the black stone also gathered together sadly, slowly
Walk downstairs.
Murong Lan bowed deeply to the Empress Dowager Gongsun: "Please come back, Empress Dowager, I will handle the matter here. You have worked hard today."
Empress Dowager Gongsun took Murong Lan's hand and sighed softly. She wanted to say something, but she shook her head, turned around, and left the tower accompanied by a group of ladies. The huge tower suddenly became empty.
Only Murong Lan and He Lanmin were left.
Murong Lan looked at the still ecstatic He Lanmin next to her, shook her head gently and said, "Congratulations, Minmin, you got your wish this time."
He Lanmin also calmed down at this moment. She looked at Murong Lan in front of her and whispered: "Actually, you don't have to leave the city. You obviously have a thousand skills to change black into white. One more person and one less person. What's wrong with Liu Yu?
Will I argue with you?"
Murong Lan said coldly: "Are you going to change black into white and use a trick to get through like you did?" As she spoke, she picked up a black stone in the corner of the battlement and flew into her hand.
.
He Lanmin's face changed slightly: "You obviously saw it, why didn't you expose me just now?"
At this point, her eyes lit up: "Could it be that the black stone in your hand..."
Murong Lan said coldly: "Do you know why I want to trade with you instead of exposing you?"
He Lanmin's eyes sparkled with tears: "I have used you and betrayed you again and again. Even in today's lottery, I have been trying to undermine you. Why do you still want to save me?"
Murong Lan said calmly: "Because we have seen the future together and seen that terrible future, I know why you want to live. So, He Lanmin, I want to ask you something."
He Lanmin gritted her teeth: "I don't believe it, you don't want to live. What we saw is vague and not necessarily the truth. We have seen many futures together, but most of them have not been realized. That one...
…”
Murong Lan shook her head: "This is different. This time is so real. Moreover, this time is the same as the last time on the grassland. It is driven by the blood of the true dragon. I believe that it will be true. Min Min
, If this is true, then I hope that you can take my place and complete this road."
