Sacrifice to heaven is a national event, and there are people standing outside the Chongtian platform, and there is a sea of people everywhere.
The people in the city did not leave the city, but all the people outside the city came here. Some people even came here from neighboring cities and counties a few days ago.
The objects used in these sacrifices, including sacred or magical weapons, are all things that ordinary people can only see once or twice in their lifetime. They are now looking at the circle, full of curiosity and reverence, and are talking in low voices.
There are knowledgeable people talking loudly in the crowd, how many people are needed to weave the bamboo poles to pave the ground, how many processes and craftsmanship are required to make the swaggering flags, and how exquisite the feed for the cattle and sheep to be sacrificed is.
Everyone was amazed and fascinated as they listened and looked at the towering rooftop. This is truly another world.
A bird flew from a distance in the sky, with its wings spread wide. Before it reached the vicinity of the circle, it was hit by a crossbow arrow. The bird did not have time to flutter a few times before it fell straight down.
At this time, the sound of music in the distance gradually came closer, and the big drums that had been waiting here for a long time were beaten with all their strength, more powerful and exciting than the bells.
Several people were watching the bird falling from the distant sky. When they heard the sound of drums, they looked around hurriedly and curiously. Looking towards the crowd, they heard loud shouts from the distance, shouting "Long live".
The tall horse came forward, and the soldiers on the horse were majestic and majestic. Especially those walking in the front were all carefully selected strong men.
Like a cloud of banners rolling behind, behind are handsome young men, holding jade plates respectfully in their hands. The jade plates are filled with all kinds of precious pearls and jade, which are bright, exquisite, graceful, and elegant.
Refined from vulgarity, everything is the best in the world.
Wave after wave of people knelt down and kowtowed, and the chorus of cheers was overwhelming. The sound of the drums was deafening, and the whole place was boiling.
"Look, look, that's the emperor! The emperor is here!" A child in the crowd knelt on the ground and said excitedly to the woman next to him.
The people around looked at the passing emperor and shouted "Long live" together with others. Their hearts were full of emotion and piety. Some even burst into tears for no reason and started crying.
The ministers held the wat board and followed Emperor Xuanyan respectfully. They listened to the thunderous shouts and saw the sea of people in front of them, and their hearts were filled with excitement.
The sky and the earth are so vast, and the distant mountains in late autumn are golden. They are walking here, following Emperor Xuan Yan, with steady footsteps, wearing official robes, receiving the attention and yearning of thousands of people, holding in their hands the treasure that can control their wealth and poverty.
Great power, it was also at this time that the word "power" seemed to be more distinct than before.
The long sound of the bells and the exciting sound of the drums directly touch the heart and stir the intestines.
Many people quietly raised their heads and looked at the back of Emperor Xuan Yan in front of them.
Emperor Xuan Yan is no longer young now, and although his body is straightened with great efforts, he is already slightly rickets.
that power?
No, the real power lies in the dragon robes worn by Emperor Xuan Yan...
Once the emperor, the lord of all prosperity, they now walked through the solemn palace gate, the long streets, the solemn city gate, and now they are walking towards the magnificent rooftop. All the people are shouting and cheering at this back.
And went.
Many people's heartbeats suddenly accelerated, looking at the back, thinking how great it would be if they walked there themselves.
To make achievements, to dominate the world, to conquer and destroy, to have the power of life and death to control everything, this is the desire and yearning that every drop of blood in every man's body screams and waves.
Another bird flew over, and when it was about to get close, it was shot down again.
Xia Zhaoyi watched the birds fall with a calm expression. When the birds completely fell into the distant mountains and disappeared, she climbed up from the edge of the cliff, turned around and walked towards another inclined path.
The mountain wind blows from the end of the sky, it is cold and steep, and the mountains and thousands of trees stand out.
On the high cliff to the west facing each other, two tall and slender men stood in the shadows, looking down at the rooftop below.
"It's really lively," the young man in white said calmly, waving the folding fan in his hand in the wind, "It hasn't been this lively for a long time, or maybe it was too quiet and depressed in the past few days."
The man beside him said nothing, his narrow eyes were dark and bright, and there was no warmth in them.
"I saw my dad," the young man in white said again, "I asked him to stay home because he was sick and not come, but he has to come anyway. This journey is too hard."
The man looked towards the crowd, and his eyes could easily find Zheng Guogong Zhao Mingyue.
"We're still coming," the man said. "Recently, Duke Zheng's residence has been closely watched. We can't let anyone else have the slightest bit of truth."
The boy in white nodded and said nothing.
After a while of silence, the man said, "What kind of medicine did you just talk about in the city?"
"I'm not very clear about the details. My sixth uncle will take care of this matter," the boy in white said, closing the folding fan, looking up to the northwest, and said, "If the matter is completed, the batch of goods should be
It must have been stopped. It would be a pity if it didn't go through. I heard that the batch of drugs was very valuable."
The man nodded and said, "What will you do if this batch of goods is intercepted?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, what do you think?"
"This is your goods, how can I think about it properly?"
The boy in white smiled and said, "Tell me, should I send some to Song Zhiyi and Tian Dayao?"
"No," the man shook his head slightly, "They are not good people. It would be a waste to give them away."
"Not a good person, but he might be a good chess player." The boy in white said with a smile.
There was an invisible sneer on the corner of the man's lips, but he still shook his head and said nothing.
At this time, the drumming stopped.
The man and the boy in white looked together.
It was at this time that a bird flew over and a sharp arrow was shot, but the bird was too fast and the arrow missed.
The bird flapped its wings and flew towards the Chongtiantai. There were many "birds" like it that slipped through the net, but it was difficult to touch them once they got close to the circle, otherwise a bird with an arrow would fall into the Chongtiantai.
, it’s not just a bird that dies.
"It's time for them to take action," the boy in white said, looking at the birds in the sky, "or after the sacrifice to heaven is over."
"Let's wait until Li Ju burns incense and prays for blessings," the man said. "It's obviously not a good thing, but I'm actually looking forward to it."
"Me too," the young man in white smiled and looked at Zheng Guogong in the crowd, "but I'm more looking forward to seeing my father's performance later. I won't give him a hard time."
The man curved his lips and smiled.
The sky was covered with clouds, and the sun was getting brighter. The ceremony officials were organizing sacrifices below, and thousands of people were kneeling on the ground, showing great piety.
