 "Really? Sister!"

"Would I still lie to you? Amei!"

At Cen Zhaowu's house in Sicheng Tusi Mansion, two women were chatting and laughing happily about their family's personal problems.

One is Li Shi, the wife of the leader Cen Zhaozhen; the other is Huang Shi, the wife of the young leader Cen Zhaowu.

"Mei, our Huawang Temple on the outskirts of Sicheng is doing great. When Zhaozhen and I were married for three years, we couldn't have a son. Later, I wore a bouquet of white flowers on my head and kowtowed three times under the statue of Hua Po. I went home. After that, I immediately had a successor," Roshi said with a smile.

"So smart!"

Huang looked a little dazed. She had been married to Cen Zhaowu for five years and had two daughters but no son.

"A bouquet of white flowers, three ringing heads", Huang firmly remembers it in her heart.

After returning home, Li asked Cen Zhaozhen: "Mr. Lang, why do you insist that I tell Mrs. Zhaowu about the Huawang Temple?"

Cen Zhaozhen shouted sternly: "As a woman, keep your mouth shut and don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Lee didn't dare to say anything and went back to the house silently.

Hua Po God refers to Mulaka, the goddess of the child tribe. According to legend, Mulaka, the ancestor of the child tribe, was born from flowers and was responsible for giving flowers and children. All people in the world came to the world from the flowers in Mulaka’s garden. , so she is worshiped as the Goddess Hua Po. Goddess Hua Po is the fertility goddess and guardian goddess of children of the Tong tribe. If Hua Po gives a white flower to a childbearing woman, she will give birth to a boy; if she gives a red flower, she will give birth to a girl. Therefore, children have It is customary to build a Kao temple near the village or at the foot of the mountain to erected the Kao's grandfather's shrine.

??

Cen Zhaowu was handling military affairs in the military camp when he suddenly reported that Huang was waiting outside the military camp.

Cen Zhaowu was very strict in running the army, and his female relatives were not allowed to enter the camp, so Huang could only wait at the gate of the camp.

Cen Zhaowu came to the door: "Madam, why are you here?"

Huang: "My husband has not been home for a long time. I miss you so much that I made you a pair of shoes."

Cen Zhaowu felt hot in his heart: "It's windy outside. Madam, be careful of catching a cold. Go back quickly."

"Mr. Lang, I heard that the Kao Temple in the suburbs is very effective in praying for children. As long as you wear a white flower crown and kowtow three times under the statue of the God of Flowers, you can have a son. Can you accompany me to worship the God of Flowers? ”

Cen Zhaowu hesitated: "I am busy with military affairs during this period, so I cannot afford to be idle."

Huang was in tears: "I have been married to my husband for five years and have only two daughters and no sons. How will I see my father-in-law in a hundred years? The husband should divorce me."

Cen Zhaowu panicked: "Why did Madam say this? Your Majesty and I are in love and will never leave each other. Never say such words again in the future. I will accompany Madam to the Kao Temple tomorrow."

??

Chief Cen Zhaowu, the chieftain of Sicheng, was coming to worship God Hua Po, and all the irrelevant people were immediately expelled.

Cen Zhaowu's younger brother Cen Zhaokui led three hundred personal guards to search the temple, but found nothing unusual.

"Brother, you and your sister-in-law can worship God."

Cen Zhaowu hummed, and gently helped Huang get out of the carriage and walked into the Kao Temple.

Suddenly, there were loud shouts of killing, and a group of bandits surrounded the Kao Temple. The leader held two big hammers and entered the temple.

Cen Zhaowu took a closer look and saw that it was actually Wang Hu'er. He couldn't help but became furious: "Wang Hu'er, I gave you a slap just because of me, but you actually dare to rebel!"

Wang Hu'er didn't say anything, and led the bandits to kill everyone on sight. Cen Zhaokui slashed with his knife, but Wang Hu'er beat him to a pulp with a hammer.

Cen Zhaowu was frightened and protected Huang back in panic.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind, "Don't panic, brother, I'm here to save you." Cen Zhaozhen appeared at the Kao Temple with several generals.

Cen Zhaowu was overjoyed: "Brother! That guy Wang Hu'er has rebelled, please help me kill him."

Before he finished speaking, a cold feeling suddenly hit his back, and a steel knife penetrated his body.

It’s actually Cen Zhaozhen.

Cen Zhaowu spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly fell down, "Why? Brother!"

Cen Zhaozhen said calmly: "Brother, don't blame me, I just want to take back what should be mine."

Cen Zhaowu stopped breathing, and Huang held him and cried loudly.

Cen Zhaozhen laughed evilly and walked towards Huang with the bloody steel knife, "Brothers and sisters, if you want to blame me, I blame you for being born in the chieftain's family!"

??

In the Sicheng military camp, Wang Huer led Cen Zhaozhen, Cen Zhaoxi, Cen Jilu and others into the military camp.

The guard general asked: "General Wang, you are not on duty today, why are you here?"

"Young leader wants me to convey an important military order, get out of the way!"

Wang Huer pushed the camp general away and beat the gathering drum outside the Chinese army's tent.

The generals rushed to the Chinese army's tent with the sound of drums. They did not see Cen Zhaowu, but saw Cen Zhaozhen and others. They were all surprised.

"General Wang, why are you beating drums to gather the generals? Where are the young leaders?"

"Cen Zhaowu, Cen Zhaoxi and others relied on force and caused trouble in Sicheng. I have killed them. Are you willing to submit to me?"

Cen Zhaozhen waved his hand, and Cen Zhaoxi threw the heads of Cen Zhaowu and Cen Zhaokui in front of the generals.

The generals were in an uproar when they heard this. General Huang Wu drew his sword and tried to kill Cen Zhaozhen, but Wang Huer knocked him down with a hammer. Wang Huer hammered one by one, killing seven or eight people in a row, turning them all into meat cakes.

The rest of the people were frightened and knelt down to ask for surrender.

Cen Zhaozhen selected his cronies to control the armies, and opened warehouses to reward them to win over the troops.

??

Cen Zhaoxi asked Cen Zhaozhen: "Brother, what should we do with Cen Zhaoxian's family and Cen Zhaowu's cronies?"

"Bring people around their house and kill all the men in the house," Cen Zhaozhen said coldly.

Cen Zhaoxi couldn't bear it: "But they are also members of the Cen family in Sicheng!"

Cen Zhaozhen yelled angrily: "Do you want to see another tragic scene of fratricide among the Cen family in our Sicheng city in a few decades?"

Cen Zhaoxi, Cen Jilu, Wang Huer, Hu Liu and others led the troops separately and killed all Cen Zhaowu's cronies. For a time, Sicheng Prefecture was filled with blood.

There is one thing that Cen Zhaozhen did not say to Cen Zhaoxi: Only by letting the blood of these rebels be stained on their hands can this army belong to him.

Soon one family after another was wiped out, including Cen Zhaoxian and others. Only one person was missing from the list, Cen Zhaoxian's youngest son, the eleven-year-old Cen Jizu.
