At this ti, it was dark before dawn.
The cold wind in the early morning was as sharp as a knife. Xu Qi'an inhaled the cold air into his lungs to cheer himself up.
More than ten ters away, Song Tingfeng said, "After the ancestor worship, let's go to the Jiaofangsi to play the Russian roulette, okay?"
Hearing this, Zhu Guangxiao on the other side showed his interest.
Xu Qi'an had already taught the two colleagues the general rules of playing Russian roulette. Ancient people had never heard of such a fancy ga, and it was immoral.
The taciturn Zhu Guangxiao couldn't stand it at the ti and angrily accused Xu Qi'an of immorality.
Thinking about it afterwards, the more he thought about it, the more exciting it was, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he was.
"Let's talk about it later." Xu Qi'an said.
There was no silky and thin work hat in this era, and he was a little resistant.
"You're boring now." Song Tingfeng said unhappily, provoking people's sexual interest, but not satisfying them.
"I can be a commander and teach you how to play." Xu Qian'an said.
"No, you must play together, so that we can show our deep affection." Song Tingfeng refused.
"He wants you to call Miss Fuxiang as well." Zhu Guangxiao exposed the dirty thoughts of his long-ti friend.
While chatting, Song Tingfeng frowned and said, "Why do you always look at the lake?"
Xu Qian'an answered truthfully, "I always feel that Sangpo Lake is gloomy and makes uncomfortable."
"Shut up!" Song Tingfeng whispered, "You are cold because of the wind. Sangpo is the holy land of Dafeng and the place where the founding emperor proved his way. Don't talk nonsense."
Zhu Guangxiao then reminded, "High-quality warriors have sharp ears and eyes. If you say this, you will be punished."
Xu Qian'an was silent imdiately.
At this ti, the sound of heavy bells and drums ca, echoing in the ears of everyone, and a sense of solemnity surged.
The night watchn who had been chatting casually before imdiately fell silent and showed a serious look.
Amid the music used for sacrifice, a large group of people left the imperial city and headed towards Sangpo.
No horses, no carriages, everyone walked.
The team participating in the ancestor worship included the royal family, clan mbers, civil and military officials, hundreds of people.
This team almost gathered the peak of power in the Dafeng Dynasty.
The leader, Emperor Yuan Jing, wore a simple Taoist robe, and his black hair was tied with a wooden hairpin. He was over fifty years old, with long beard and handso appearance, and he had the immortal style of a Taoist master.
On both sides behind him were the elegant queen and the plump concubine.
Then ca the princes and princesses.
Emperor Yuan Jing had many children, twelve princes, but only four princesses. The eldest princess was only twenty-five this year, nearly ten years younger than the eldest prince.
This princess, who was famous in the capital for her talent and beauty, had eyes as clear as a pool, a white face, and a cold and cold face. She followed the team silently.
Amid the music, the sacrificial team ca to a bright yellow tent, and the immortal-looking Emperor Yuan Jing led two eunuchs into the imperial tent.
The rest of the people waited outside.
The ministers in charge of the sacrifice were busy, inviting gods and lining up to prepare for the emperor's subsequent ancestor worship.
Xu Qian'an did not move, but tried his best to turn his head and peek at the sacrificial scene with the corner of his eyes.
He saw a team holding spirit tablets covered with yellow silk, following the winding water corridor, climbing up the high platform, and placing the spirit tablets on the large table in front of the temple.
After this team returned, another team, under the guidance of officials from the Taichang Temple, brought offerings and sacrifices of various kinds, with at least two or three hundred
pieces.
When everything was ready, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites said loudly outside the imperial tent: "The spirits have been cald down. Welco Your Majesty."
The princes and princesses, civil and military officials, knelt at the sa ti.
The eunuch lifted the curtain, and Emperor Yuan Jing, who had changed into a bright yellow robe, appeared in front of everyone with a solemn look.
At this ti, he no longer had the faint fairy spirit of a Taoist master, but only the majesty of an emperor on earth.
"This posture feels more solemn than the Supre Conference in my previous life... It's worth the trip, it's worth the trip..." Xu Qian'an was enjoying it, but suddenly his heart palpitated, knowing that soone in the Earth Book chat group was talking.
He waited for a mont, waited for the patrol team to pass, reached into his arms, did not take out the jade mirror completely, half exposed and half hidden, and took a look.
[Two: I rember that today is the day for the Dafeng royal family to worship their ancestors, number one, number three, right? ]
[Four: Calculating the ti, today is indeed the ancestor worship ceremony. I also participated in the royal ancestor worship in those days. ]
[Two: In those days? Oh, No. 4, you were also an official in those days, and your status was not
low?]
[Four: Yes. ]
No. 4 was an official... Xu Qiyan was stunned. Didn't No. 4 have a relationship with the female national master of the Renzong?
Well, this also makes sense. It is precisely because he was an official that he got to know the female national master.
It seems that No. 4 is also a person with a story.
Xu Qiyan found it very interesting. The holders of the fragnts of the Earth Book are not ordinary people. Their identities are mysterious and their cultivation is strong. Interacting with them is like playing a ga, revealing their mysterious veil layer by layer.
[Two: It's interesting. No. 1 didn't reply, and No. 3 didn't reply either. ]
Damn this little Yin coin... Xu Qiyan, who was suddenly set up, twitched his mouth.
Obviously, No. 2 sent a letter at this ti, not really caring about the royal ancestor worship,
but a test.
Test the identities of No. 3 and No. 1.
With the connection between the Earth Book and the holder, even if you fall asleep, you will be awakened, so there is no possibility of missing it due to rest.
Unless there is an ergency, you can't reply.
However, it is impossible for No. 1 and No. 3 to have an ergency at the sa ti. If this is the case, it ans that both of them are participating in the sacrifice and cannot take out the fragnts of the Earth Book to reply in public.
At this ti, Xu Qiyan's behavior aroused Song Tingfeng's idea.
He let go of his hand calmly, and the half-exposed jade mirror slid back into his pocket.
"Be serious and don't make unnecessary moves." Song Tingfeng frowned and warned.
"I know." Xu Qiyan responded perfunctorily.
It's not good. I am a disciple of Yunlu Academy. I have no reason and no qualifications to participate in the royal ancestor worship... Now my identity has been exposed... Damn, the guys in the Tiandihui are all scheming people.
However, No. 1 didn't reply either... He (she) was also at the scene, who could it be?
As Xu Qian'an's thoughts fluctuated, the mbers of the Tiandihui and the holders of the fragnts of the Earth Book were also thinking about the sa question.
Isn't No. 3 a disciple of Yunlu Academy? As we all know, Yunlu Academy has almost cut off official careers. Even if there are, they are not qualified to participate in the royal ancestor
worship.
Moreover, judging from the image of No. 3, he is a student of Yunlu Academy, which makes it even more impossible for him to participate in the ancestor worship.
Is No. 3 not a disciple of Yunlu Academy?
No, if so, how to explain the previous things.
Unless he participated in the royal ancestor worship in other identities, right, people planted
by Yunlu Academy in various departnts of the court?
What governnt office would that be, what identity?
On the contrary, they were not surprised by No. 1's identity, because they had long known that
No. 1 was a mber of the court and had a high status.
[Two: No. 4, you have been an official, you co to analyze it. No. 3 is the situation. ]
[Four: I do have a guess in my mind, but why should I tell you. ]
[Six: No. 2, you are not in the capital, so what can you do even if you know the identities of No.
3 and No. 1. ]
No. 4 and No. 6 are both speaking for No. 3 in a veiled way.
Xu Qian'an resisted the throbbing and did not check the information.
After watching the ancestral worship ceremony for a while, Xu Qian'an felt strange again.
He always felt that Sangpo was gloomy and had an inexplicable sense of crisis.
Suddenly, Xu Qian'an heard a strange sound in the sacrificial music.
The voice said:
"Save , save ..."
Xu Qian'an was stunned for a mont, listened carefully, but the voice disappeared.
"Tingfeng, Guangxiao, did you hear any strange sounds?" Xu Qian'an asked two colleagues not far away.
"You an the sacrificial music? It's really a bit... a bit deafening." Song Tingfeng changed
his words with a strong desire to survive. He wanted to say it was very unpleasant.
Zhu Guangxiao shook his head.
Just as Xu Qian'an was about to speak, the strange voice ca again. This ti he heard it
clearly. It ca from Sangpo Lake.
"Save , save ..."
The voice was shrill and suppressed, extrely creepy, like an evil ghost whispering in his ear.
