Love Like the Galaxy

Chapter 177: (1)

In the guest house, Huo Lou and the Cheng brothers and sisters stood around the couch and watched the injured lying on it. The four looked different.

"...This person is the fifth percentile." Cheng Shao Gong was both suspicious and timid, "It's not that I am clumsy."

Shao Shang said: "Brother is right, it is the fifth percent." Although the face is swollen like pork, it is indeed the deity.

—It's a troublesome fifth talent! Cheng Shao Gong's head was as big as a bucket: "If I remember it well, the fifth chance is with..." He glanced at Huo Budoubt, "Is it that they left the capital with Yuan Shen."

Huo Budo pondered for a moment, then asked, "Ayao, tell me the ins and outs."

Lou Yao knew that something was wrong, and said quickly: "Five or six days ago, I went to patrol the surrounding countryside as usual, and when I passed a hill to the east, the family found this man at the foot of the mountain. Not bad, there are calluses in both hands that have been holding swords all year round. I thought there must be a hidden secret, so I took him back to the mansion for treatment. Who knew that his injuries were abnormal, and the blood on his body was blurred, and he was still in a coma. I We have changed several doctors who are good at trauma, as well as famous doctors from neighboring counties, but they are still not good. We only occasionally hear him shouting 'go and report' or something in a daze. Other than that, we don't know his details."

"The hill in the east? Is it Jiming Mountain?" Huo Bu questioned.

Lou Yao said yes.

Cheng Shaogong sighed with emotion: "I don't want a peerless master like the fifth one to fall off the cliff here!"

How many, let alone the fifth, even Azhu and Ou'er can't fall!"

Cheng Shaogong touched his forehead: "By the way, isn't there someone capable of Huo Hou's subordinates who can interrupt the trail from the clues? Why don't you ask the magistrate of Lou to show what the fifth hero wore that day? Clothes, let Huo Hou's scouts look at them."

Shao Shangpi smiled and said: "Brother is really smart."

Huo Buxuan smiled - Lou Yao was hospitable and hospitable since he was a child.

Not waiting for Cheng Shaogong to laugh complacently, Lou Yao really embarrassed: "Then...what, on the day this hero entered the mansion, the servants had cleaned all the tattered and dirty clothes he had replaced. It's sewn up."

Cheng Shaogong was speechless.

Huo Budo shook his head, raised his arms and folded his cuffs on both sides, leaned over to check the fifth percent of the injuries, from the neck to the chest, to both arms, especially the fifth percent of the pair The iron palm was even more scarred - the white fingertips touched the dark red wounds one by one, and the tiger palm covered with fine scars. He examined it carefully, and his expression became more and more solemn.

Huo Budo put down his sleeves and said solemnly: "The fifth percent of the injuries on his body seem to have been caused by falling off a cliff, but they were actually left when he rolled and rolled in the jagged rocks. In these injuries Beneath it, there are also scars caused by the curved sharp edge..." He pointed to a vague twist hidden under a large blood scar, his eyebrows tightened, "I'm afraid I have to visit those two castles."

"Did the fifth hero escape from those two castles? How can you see it?" Lou Yao blurted out, and immediately realized, "Brother, I didn't mean to doubt you."

Cheng Shaogong said yin and yang strangely: "Although you say that you have no intention of doubting, the doubt in your heart is the same."

Lou Yao blushed immediately.

Shao Shang was furious: "What nonsense is the third brother talking about, Ayao just said it casually, does he deserve to be charged with arbitrarily!"

Shao Gong smiled but said nothing, Shao Shang noticed that Huo Budo took a quick glance and took a deep breath: "I mean, isn't this obvious? First, take fifth If he is seriously injured, he should not be able to escape for a long distance, so the person who harmed him is in the surrounding area. Second, the terrain here is flat, and within a radius of 100 miles, only the two houses and forts are covered with sharp and rugged rocks. It is used to defend against the enemy. Thirdly, the fifth is highly skilled in martial arts. With his skills, he can injure the generals of the court under the siege of many elites. If it is just an ordinary world, how can he be trapped?"

Lou Yao snorted: "I see, then these two castles are indeed the most suspicious... Next, what should we do?" He hesitated, "I am the county magistrate after all. , it’s okay to go to the door and ask.”

Shao Shang intuitively objected: "This kind of local famous family with private soldiers can't be searched, and one of them must be irrelevant. Ayao, you have offended you rashly. People, how can I do things locally in the future? In my opinion, it is better to send someone to the governor of the county to ask for a letter."

Cheng Shaogong laughed out loud: "You must think about it, Shao Shang, it is urgent to save people, now go to Anguo County Office, go back and forth for four or five days, maybe it's just a moment and a half, Yuan Shen lost his life."

Shao Shang turned his head: "Ayao, you should come to the door immediately, help is important."

Lou Yao:…

Huo Budo smiled, and loosened a little between his locked eyebrows. He said: "There is no need to be so embarrassed. Ayao, you will have people carry the fifth percent to those two castles in a while. You say that Yuan Shen, the son of the Yuan clan in Jiaodong, has been missing for many days, and this person is very valuable. , and Jane is in the heart of the emperor, don't take it lightly, ask the two patriarchs to help you find it."

Lou Yao was a little confused: "If the two families really sent people to search around, how should I enter the castle?"

"You said, 50% woke up this morning and said that Yuan Shen fell into his house."

"Why did the fifth percent say that? Besides, he hasn't woken up yet." Lou Yao was even more confused.

"It's not that I didn't wake up, it's that I fainted again on the way to the castle." Huo Budo was very patient.

The Cheng brothers and sisters sighed. The corner of Shao Gong's mouth twitched: "Good idea, anyway, 50% can't wake up, and there is no evidence of death. The magistrate of Lou said that the 50% identified his house and captured Yuan Shen, and no one refuted it."

Shao Shang said worriedly: "If they refused to admit their death, would they be frightened by the grass, and would have killed Ah... Yuan Gongzi's life?"

Huo Budo slowly put down the broad sleeves of his robe: "In the past few days, Ayao has been making great fanfare to find a famous doctor. If he wanted to fight grass and startle the snake, he would have beaten him long ago. If they didn't kill Yuan Shen at that time, there must be a reason why they couldn't kill him. , will not kill at this moment."

Small business is a little more at ease.

Lou Yao did what he said, and immediately asked someone to carry the fifth percent, Shao Shang wanted to go with him, but Huo Bu doubt said: "Young Gong, you and A Yao go together. Ah Yao, you only manage to ask Yuan Shen from them. Shao Gong, you hide behind and watch the response of the two families. You two should go and return quickly, no matter what the two families say, hurry up. Report back to me."

Shao Shang was not happy in her heart, but she never refuted Huo Budo's face in front of people.

Cheng Shaogong mourned the passing of his leisurely time, reluctantly followed Lou Yao out the door, and Shaoshang followed behind him: "Third brother, look carefully, take Show your ability to look at people's faces..."

"How could it be my fault!" Shaoshang was dissatisfied.

"For my brother, I now want to obey your ex-fiancé-in-law's orders, follow your ex-ex-fiancé-in-law, and find your ex-fiancé-in-law, if you say it's your fault !"

Looking up, it looks like a long and narrow isosceles triangle.

The two castles are said to be built in the pre-Qin period - a pair of brothers who did not know how to make a family settled here, but who knew that after the first emperor ruled the world, he strongly enforced the law of Shang Yang, requiring all Cheng Ding to follow The family was separated, so the brothers built such two castles not far from each other.

Later wars came and the dynasties changed, and the two castles were ruined and changed hands several times. Now the two families who occupy and expand the two castles are surnamed Li, and their faces remain unchanged. After claiming to be the Taoist patriarch Lao Tzu, the family surnamed Tian, ​​and they all threatened to claim that they were descendants of the Qi royal family.

Huo Buxu summoned all his men and issued the order with a solemn expression.

"...Zhang Jin, you bring me a warrant to borrow troops from several places in the west. How much you have borrowed will be returned within two days. Liang Qiuqi, you quickly go to Yanzhou camp to find Ouyang Master, let him send orders to all the prefectures and counties. If there is news of the Prince and his party, stop them immediately, and don't come to Yuzhou! Li Si, you go to Liang Zhoumu, let him leave the west side and lead the army as soon as possible. Ah Fei, you Run along the line to the east and warn these county governors or magistrates, be sure to watch out for someone who harms the prince."

Come out. If there are materials stored in the fleet, you might as well make some spares in the past two days. I remember that there are several good craftsmen in your fleet, lend me a hand."

I will look at Shangguan's face. If there is an emergency and the atmosphere is tense, don't ask three questions and four questions, just do things first.

She returned to the courtyard where her motorcade was housed, first cleaned up the wounded and entrusted them to the housekeeper; Then he counted the remaining firearms, and took out the kerosene, saltpeter, and gunpowder hidden in the bottom of the several carriages, and personally supervised the configuration of the secret weapons.

This move naturally alarmed He Zhaojun. She didn't care about her postpartum physical weakness, and let the slaves carry herself to find Shaoshang. Shaoshang hurriedly invited her into the inner room, and after a brief explanation Relief: "...That's it. Actually, I don't know exactly what happened, but Mr. Huo must have his reasons for doing this. Don't worry, no matter what, I won't let you and Ayao have anything to do."

He Zhaojun calmed down a bit, and then asked: "I brought two hundred of the parts left by my father. You don't have to borrow troops from everywhere, just use them!"

A sense of superiority in IQ immediately flooded into Shaoshang's heart, she said proudly: "You two can be more attentive, didn't you hear what I said just now? Mr. Huo let me know. Why is this? There are four or five counties adjacent to Yuzhou and Xuzhou. Do you know where things will go wrong? The so-called If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, once something happens, all parties can gather immediately, do you understand this principle?"

Shao Shang is speechless and condensed - well, you have a kind. In the end, she could only say, "Okay, go back to the house and rest. I have left the maid, the cook and the wounded. You can take care of it."

So busy until dark, Huo Budo finally came down to find her.

His hair was messy, his forehead was sweating, his sleeves were **** high, and he was still wrapped in a jet-black apron.

Huo Budo chuckled lightly, Shaoshang unhappy: "Are you laughing at me and look embarrassed! Newly prepared firearms can be used regardless of your use!"

Huo Budo was not annoyed, and pulled her to sit down in the pavilion: "I didn't laugh at your embarrassment, I just remembered that year in the hunting house on the outskirts of Huaxian County - you were like that back then He looks like he's wearing loops, he's wearing an apron, and he's in a mess."

Shao Shang remembered and sighed: "Now that I think about it, except for the years in the palace, most of the time I met you was in a mess. Either I did bad things under the bridge, or I was frozen on the horse's back. If you can't get down, or else you'll just wait for someone to come and save you."

Huo Budo was slightly surprised, and then smiled: "You feel embarrassed, but I think your looks are quite flattering."

Shao Shang sighed: "I really should let His Majesty listen to you. The marriage he asked for you was wrong."

Huo Budo laughed, took the girl into his arms, and the two leaned side by side.

Shao Shang said with a bitter face: "If I don't go out in the future, why would something happen when I go out?"

Huo Budo rubbed her hair and said softly: "No, it will be very peaceful, you have finished all the tossing in the past 20 years, and it will be smooth sailing in the future, and the years will be stable. ."

Shao Shang looked up at him and smiled sweetly: "You too. You have finished all the hardships you will endure in your life, and there will be no more hardships and dangers in the future."

In a courtyard with a well.

Huo Budo took off his robe and put it on the stone table, went to the well and rolled up his sleeves, but he didn't see him using the wheel, and with a flick of his arm, he took it out of the well A bucket of clean water. He was born with broad shoulders and a straight back, and his waist was strong and thin. Shaoshang looked a little fascinated, and suddenly thought that she would have such a handsome and tall son in the future, how beautiful her life would be.

Huo Budo didn't know what was in her mind, took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom, soaked it in the water, and came to wipe the dirt and sweat on her cheeks, her delicate and white skin was full of vitality , like a stubborn flower bud that just sprouts from the branch. He said softly, "My mother loves to take care of flowers and trees with her own hands. Every time she gets muddy on her face, my father will wipe it for her."

Shao Shang looked at his face a little dazed, and said, "Why don't you call me grandma."

Huo Busu stopped his hand, and Shaoshang waved his hand quickly: "Ah no no no no no! I'm not trying to make you cheap or disrespectful to my ancestors, I'm tired and confused and say nonsense. ."

Huo Busu's eyes flashed, and there was anger in the stillness.

Xiaoshang saw that he didn't care about himself, so he quickly jumped the topic: "I heard that you asked people to chisel some large stones, what's the use."

Huo Budo went to the bucket and twisted the silk handkerchief once again, and came back to wipe her hands: "Be a simple battering ram."

It's not too unwarranted."

Huo Budo scratched her nose and said with a smile: "I can live well to this day because of unfounded worries and preparedness."

Shao Shang's heart moved, and he looked at his dark brown eyes: "...you are not Ling Zun, you will not meet someone like Ling Yi."

Huo Budo placed the neatly folded silk handkerchief next to the stone table, and said lightly, "...I am indeed not my father, and if someone like Ling Yi shows any clues, I will never tolerate it. He lived three days."

Ling Yi's greed for life and fear of death is not without warning, but Huo Chong always believed that he was just timid and would not be treachery; It is also on the side of the younger sister, who always thinks the best of the younger sister-in-law.

Shao Shang was silent for a while: "You don't just try to save Yuan Shen, do you?"

Huo Budo stared at the girl: "You haven't mentioned Yuan Shen since the discovery of 50%, are you afraid of his death?"

Shao Shang closed his eyes and his voice trembled slightly: "He always pretends to be courteous and courteous in front of people, and he only mentioned to me that he will be a minister in the future, the three princes in the past. I really can't think of him. , he may die in such an obscure little place... You won't doubt that my love for him is over."

Huo Budo laughed: "Naturally not." In fact, what he thought in his mind was, don't say 'the rest of the love', even if Yuan Cheng's love is hot, he has to step in , not to mention the mere 'remaining affection'.

"Tell me honestly, is the situation not very good now." Shaoshang said.

Huo Budo pondered and said slowly: "You are right, Your Majesty has settled the world too quickly, and many hidden dangers have fallen. The top of the skull, although the casualties are heavy, but there is no ruggedness, but..."

He didn't go on, but said, "When you were lingering at Mrs. Qu's place to reminisce about the old days, General Wu has leveled out some of the most ferocious rebellions. Especially Xuzhou, because of its location It's a battleground for the military, so several armies made concerted efforts to clean up the place early in the morning, and the Crown Prince had the idea of ​​making a private visit—but not long after His Royal Highness set off, news of the new rebellion in the history of Shu County came."

Shao Shang got up in a hurry: "If the situation is so serious, then hurry up and send the army to help, how can only we be enough!"

"Where is the army?" Huo Budo asked quietly.

Shao Shang was stunned for a moment: "Then... what about Yanzhou Camp."

"Yanzhou camp is empty."

Shao Shang sat down in a daze.

"The court has so many people, and the treasury has so much wealth, silk, grain and grass. The defenders in the northwest and Mobei cannot move, otherwise the grasslands and desert tribes will smell the blood and ride the horses in the Central Plains. General Wu I went south to Pingshixin in Shu County, and the rest of the generals led their respective troops to continue to pacify the chaos in the three prefectures of Qingyou and Ji. The general is not in good health recently, he is not too young, and his Majesty has been worried about the accumulation of injuries and illnesses over the years."

Shao Shang was heartbroken, and finally said angrily: "It's all bad for His Royal Highness, what are you running around! When I find him this time, don't say anything!"

Huo Budo smiled and said: "His Royal Highness still has rules and regulations. He pretends to be a son of a noble family and travels around the world. Come back and pass the book to keep safe, it’s okay to go out for so long, it’s just…”

"I'm afraid that someone will do harm." Shaoshang added.

Huo Budo sighed: "In short, there are traces of the remnants of the Gongsun clan, Yuan Shen and his family members have disappeared for no reason, I can't feel at ease. I have a vague feeling in my heart that if I can investigate Ming Yuan Shen and his party go, and the prince's danger will be solved by himself."

Shao Shang pondered and said solemnly: "You are right, find out the Yuan family first! The Yuan family has also experienced ups and downs in the past few decades. He has served as a foreign official for many years, and the guards and family generals he sent to his only son are by no means ordinary! However, these tributaries have disappeared without a sound, so it can be seen that there must be a sinister affair - what do you think about those two houses? Fort, which one is more suspicious?"

"Tianjiabao." Huo Budo said, "I have seen the terrain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the four fields are blocked. With such terrain, even if the Yuan's children are brave and good at fighting, but in the end there are not enough people. Once lured into the hub and slowly annihilated, the outside may not be able to detect it."

"Okay! Then let's prepare well, I want to see, what great wall can carry my gunpowder!"

The owner of Tianjiabao is young and the owner of Lijiabao is older. According to the general thinking, the former must be vigorous and the latter is smooth and gentle. Who knows that when Lou Cheng and the two come to defraud, the Tian family owner He was full of promises and smiled, and kept saying that he was welcome to search the house at any time. He was willing to prove his innocence. On the contrary, the middle-aged head of the Li family had an amazing style. Going down to Liang Wuji's governance, he was scolded and scolded, and in the end he almost didn't let the dog bite.

The young merchant asked the details of the Li Tian family again, Lou Yao was embarrassed, and said: "Before the two houses were not under the jurisdiction of our county, they were under the management of the neighboring county's Lord Wang. This year Liangzhou Mucai demarcated that piece of land into Yao County, so ... many things are not clear."

"Why is this?" Shao Shang was puzzled.

Huo Budo smiled and said, "It's probably because of the Tiantian decree. Those two castles must be quite powerful in the local area, and have been on good terms with the government for many years. Liang Zhoumu is afraid that the local magistrate will indulge in favoritism. , they came to draw wages from the bottom of the pot, and directly assigned the land to Ah Yao's jurisdiction, and now their previous operations will be useless."

"No wonder Your Majesty always praises Liang Zhoumu, he is indeed capable." Shaoshang was convinced. Local officials in so many prefectures and counties were demoted and killed by the old uncle because of the ineffective implementation of the Tiantian decree. Only Liang Wuji stood out, and Qu Lingjun was married to the right person this time.

That being said, things are not looking good right now. Lou Yao only knew the coverage of the two castles, the family genealogy of Tianmu people, etc., and so on.

In the past, the family members of local officials and the women and children of local wealthy families would always have some intersections, but He Zhaojun was very nervous after being pregnant. Only Lou Zhang went out to a few flower viewing banquets on behalf of his brother and sister-in-law to enjoy the cool air or something.

" A Zhang said that although the lord of the Tian family is young, there are many concubines, and the wife alone has three or four, and she can't tell the noise at the banquet. He has a bad reputation. It is said that he is married to one and the other. No one in the local area is willing to marry him. A few years ago, he had to marry someone from outside. However, the new wife of the Li family is frail and ill and rarely goes out. I've only seen it a few times." Lou Yao tried to recall what his cousin said.

Huo Budo glanced at the witty and naughty girl with a smile, and then asked Lou Cheng what they thought of the two families. At this time, Cheng Shao Gong's ability to be attentive was shown.

Lou Yao hesitantly said: "From the perspective of the two companies' response, the Tian family should be innocent, otherwise they would not have let us search calmly. Then Li Jiajian is not obedient and violent, so there should be no All right."

"No, I think this Tian Shuo (the lord of Tianjiabao) has a narrow forehead and sullen cheeks. Too much, Da Zhong seems like a traitor, and his honest enthusiasm is almost fake." Cheng Shaogong said.

Huo Budo nodded and said, "That's right. Unless there is no secret, the fortress will be searched if the local officials say it, and they will greet you with a smile. There will be no flames everywhere for resisting the Dutian order."

Lou Yao was stunned: "Could it be that the Li family is innocent?" He couldn't help touching the arm that was almost bitten by the vicious dog.

Cheng Shaogong looked solemn: "Actually, I think Li Kuo (the owner of Li Jiabao) is also very strange. This person is so arrogant that he is mad. He complains about Liang Zhoumu a few words. Forget it, even the decrees of His Majesty and the court have been scolded - isn't he afraid that the situation will subside in the future, and the court will settle accounts with him in the autumn?"

& nbsp; Shi. ​​When Yuan Shen went out, he said that he brought two hundred guards with him. Even if he was confused, the family generals around him knew that everyone could not enter the house, and it was easy to be closed and beaten. But if some people were outside, it was really How can the nearby people not notice when they are fighting?"

Speaking of which, it seems to have entered a dead end, and the three of them went to see Huo Budo.

Huo Budo was unmoved, and said calmly, "Since the Tian family is willing to let us search, let's do a search."

It was not too late, Huo Budo immediately led the army out of the city, and the Cheng brothers and sisters accompanied them. Originally they planned to let Lou Yao stay behind to guard the county town, but He Zhaojun insisted on letting her husband go with him, and also took the He The part splits half of the followers. She firmly said: "I have me in the county, I will close the city gate, be careful, you go to work on big things."

Shao Shang knows his intentions. If Lou Yao can get a wave of credit in front of the prince, his future will be much smoother. She smiled and said, "You didn't even want to let Ayao go back then, but now you're so ruthless."

He Zhaojun sighed: "People always have to grow up. In the past, they were sheltered by their family, father and brother, and they could be willful in everything. Now it is different. We have to think more about our children. People plant trees, and future generations enjoy the shade."

Shao Shang was not without emotion, but he joked: "I just gave birth to a son and keep saying 'children'? An Chengjun, what you think is really far."

He Zhaojun rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't there still you. With you here, nothing will happen to Ayao!"

Young merchants were defeated again - there is a saying that a big girl with sharp articulation should not play tricks with a married young daughter-in-law. The ancients did not deceive me.

We set off at noon on that day. On the way, we passed several peaceful and peaceful villages. Under the dry and fragrant autumn sunshine, the mature golden crops formed bright and joyful wheat waves. Huo Cheng and his party did not want to disturb the busy harvesting farmers, so they camped outside for the night and rested for the night, and arrived near Tianjiawubao the next morning.

Looking at the dense and shaded woods outside the castle, the trees vary in height and thickness, as if they were planted in different years. Huo Budo raised his hand on the saddle and waved it lightly, as if using his fingers, the army stopped in unison, and then dismounted and walked on foot. Shao Shang led the already very tall little flower horse, and walked among the towering giant trees hugged by several people. From time to time, he used his palm to feel the rough and vigorous bark, and sighed: "There are some trees in this forest, I'm afraid there will be hundreds of years of time. ."

She looked at Huo Budo and said, "Is it appropriate to come in like this? Wouldn't you be lured into the trap with a spoonful?" Such dense and towering forests are simply a natural barrier. How noisy is the fighting inside, you can't hear it outside.

Huo Budo brought the horse over and patiently said: "Yuan Shen is only about 200 people, so he can be wiped out. Eight hundred, no matter how dense this forest is, it can’t hold us.”

Shao Shang made up his mind and asked, "Hey, tell me, did Yuan Shen and the others really happen here."

"It's hard to say, you have to investigate carefully to find out. In short, I don't think something is right here."

Shao Shang bowed his head and walked forward, suddenly said: "Why don't you leave me in the county town to be with He Zhaojun? Since this place is so dangerous, you actually promised to bring me here."

The corners of Huo Budo's lips lifted slightly, and he joked: "You are by the water, maybe there will be huge waves. I don't know if Zhou Shan will fall again. I'm not very worried about you, so stay safe by my side."

Shao Shang said softly, "But you can't take me with you forever."

Huo Budo stopped abruptly, looked at her for a moment, Shao Shang looked back, and then they both turned their heads at the same time.

Unpleasant damp smell.

When everyone entered, the Tian family was holding a strange sacrifice ceremony.

Seven or eight sorcerers in colorful sashes danced on the broad circular platform. They raised bells and sticks, or clapped tambourines. Rotating and chanting in unison, four other strong men with bare upper bodies holding sharp knives stood beside them in four directions.

The huge pitch-black bull let out a low roar, his eardrums hummed, and his muscular limbs struggled constantly, but several wrist-thick iron chains bound him firmly to the high ground. on a high stone platform.

There was a young man kneeling in front of Niutou. It was Tian Shuo, the head of the Tian family. He was dressed in white, his hands were raised to the sky, and he murmured as the sorcerer sang and danced. talking about something.

The singing and dancing became more and more intense. Several sorcerers blushed like dripping blood, behaved like crazy, and the incantations recited in their mouths became more and more intense, like the bowstring being pulled more and more tightly and almost collapsed Broken, one of the oldest sorcerers suddenly shouted 'rise' sharply, like a sharp blade piercing the dark midnight, the four strong men simultaneously stabbed the bull's belly, cutting the solid bull's flesh straight.

The four knives were covered in blood, like the coldest butcher. They slashed their knives skillfully and quickly, and then each cut out one thing from the belly of the cow, namely the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs.

This ancient and **** sacrifice made Shaoshang both unbearable and frightened, and could not help but take two steps back.

The four young sorcerers held up the four bull organs with gold plates, and followed the old sorcerer to Tian Shuo.

The old sorcerer stretched out his withered right hand, picked up the beating bull’s heart and rubbed it on Tian Shuo’s forehead, followed by the beef liver on the right cheek, the spleen on the left cheek, and the ox lung on the forehead lower jaw. The blood-drenched organs were still squirming with steam, and the surrounding concubines and maids couldn't bear to look directly, but Tian Shuo closed his eyes and smiled, as if enjoying himself.

Finally, the old sorcerer carefully looked at the thin face covered with animal blood several times, and grinned with black and yellow mottled teeth: "…Don't worry, Patriarch, the heavens will answer, your wish will be fulfilled. can be achieved.”

The bluestone square was filled with a strong **** smell, Shao Shang couldn't stand it, Huo Budo was staring at the Tian family's family around him. on your side.

The ceremony was over, everyone was invited to the flower hall to rest, and when Tian Shuo came out of the bath and changed clothes, Cheng Shao Gong was already strolling around the hall impatiently. Lou Yao stepped forward to show Tian Shuo the purpose of this trip, but he looked embarrassed, obviously not enough practice. Cheng Shaogong is much more talented, and he brazenly said, "It's mainly because the master's kindness is difficult to accept, so we really came to search."

The young Tian family owner is not as ugly as Cheng Shaogong said. He heard the request clearly, and raised his right hand very cheerfully: "I have admired Huohou's name for a long time, like thunder. Now I am fortunate to do my little bit, why don't you dare to obey, everyone please." After speaking, he also ordered the servants to let Ji Concubine's family members They all stayed in the courtyard outside, not to hinder the search.

Huo Budo clasped his fists expressionlessly, and was too lazy to talk to this man, he directly led the soldiers and Lou Yao and his party to search around, leaving the Cheng brothers and sisters and the brigade of guards in the flower hall wait.

Tian Shuo seemed to have no objection to this, smiled and put on the appearance of "respectful listening", and sat safely in the same place.

After waiting for more than an hour, Tian Shuo asked the servants to serve a new meal table for the third time, and attentively asked the Cheng brothers and sisters to continue to use snacks and drinks.

Cheng Shaogong couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask if the sacrificial ceremony performed by the previous family owner was imitating the records of the pre-Qin classics, using life as a sacrifice, and begging to be granted?"

Tian Shuo's eyes flickered: "Master Cheng Bo Wen Guang Ji, what you said is good."

"The book is there?" Cheng Shao Gong felt itchy.

Tian Shuo smiled, and then asked the servant to send a scroll of ancient bamboo slips, Cheng Shaogong couldn't wait to read.

Tian Shuo glanced at the silent girl sitting by the window. She had a snow-skinned appearance and a relaxed spirit. It was brighter and more stretched than the autumn light. He unabashedly showed appreciation and smiled. He walked over: "Although I live in the countryside, Madam Cheng has served the Queen Mother of Huai'an for many years. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also one of the most beautiful women in the capital. When I see her today, she really lives up to her reputation."

Shao Shang raised his eyelids: "It's easy to talk. But it's not right for Mr. Tian to ask. I'm a little girl with no office and no job. Why should I follow you to search your land today?"
