Chapter 1271.2

The whole Gaoding city is full of laughter.

Red lanterns and couplets were hung at the door of each household.

I see a lot of joy everywhere!

Red is everywhere.

It looks very harmonious.

There was no fluctuation at all.

As in previous years, everyone is looking forward to the reunion on New Year's Eve.

Happy family!

The calm before the storm was terrible.

Finally, the day before the annual sacrifice.

Late at night, the city gate was closed.

There was silence everywhere!

It seems that someone has deliberately "cleaned up"!

A line of soldiers in armor came to the gate.

The leader is Zhu Yuan!

He winked at the guard at the door.

He said, "it's time to open the door."

As he commanded, the bodyguard ordered people to open all three gates of the city gate.

Outside the city, there was only the sound of a cold wind blowing, which made people numb.

The men on the tower lit three torches.

Wave it!

It looks like a code!

After a incense stick, two thousand soldiers and horses arrived at the gate.

They were careful not to say a word.

One after another, they were arranged to enter the city.

Zhu Yuan and the bodyguard guarding the city gate said, "the Marquis has ordered that the city gate will be closed as soon as the annual sacrifice begins tomorrow. No news shall be brought out of the palace."

"I see!"

The king of Huyi had only 1200 troops and horses in Gaoding city!

Most of the troops are deployed outside the city.

Once there is an accident in the palace, someone will take the news out of the city. At that time, thousands of soldiers and horses outside the palace will come to the city for help.

The Duke of Pingyang has made arrangements. Once the gate is closed, even if there is an accident in the palace, the news can't be brought out. Even if people outside the palace know it, they can't come in at that time.

The two thousand soldiers and horses continued to enter the city, scattered everywhere and deployed outside the palace.

May——

Zhu Yuan soon found the abnormality!

Footprints on the ground!

Footprints stained with red soil!

He was suspicious.

Asked the bodyguard: "the Marquis's soldiers and horses came from the ten mile slope outside the palace. There should be no red mud road on the way. Why are there red mud on these soldiers' shoes?"

The guard shook his head: "this... I don't know."

"Huh?"

Strange!

Has the route changed?

Zhu Yuan pulled a small soldier: "you're from Shilipo?"

The soldier replied, "yes."

"How did you get the red mud on your feet?"

"I was afraid of being found, so I made a detour and crossed the mountain before stepping on the red mud on the ground." Said the soldier.

"Well!" Zhu Yuan obviously didn't doubt any more. He waved his hand, "be careful and follow up."

"Yes."

Small soldiers follow the team and go in the direction of the east gate of the palace according to the original layout plan!

After all 2000 soldiers and horses entered the city, Zhu Yuan explained some and ordered the bodyguards to guard the gate.

"You can't open the gate tomorrow without the order of the marquis."

"Yes!"

He just left!

Go back and reply to Pingyang Hou!

At this moment, the prime minister's residence.

It's late at night.

Gong didn't sleep. He was in the ancestral hall in the house and looked at the spirit card of his son.

He looks calm!

With sadness in his eyes.

I haven't taken a step for a long time.

This is the Chinese New Year. All families are jubilant and decorated.

However, as usual, the whole Gong House had no atmosphere for the new year, and even the ancestral hall was hung with white silk and white lanterns.

By the cold wind!

He tightened his eyes a little bit, looked at the Lingpai and said, "Shilin, wait another day!"

Wait another day, the big revenge will be avenged.

He will worship his son with the blood of the king of Huyi and natuo!

The housekeeper stood aside and said anxiously, "Sir, you'd better have a rest. It's almost dawn."

He waved his hand: "you don't care about me. Go and have a rest."

"I'd better accompany the master."

The housekeeper followed him for many years and watched him give the black haired man away. He felt the pain.

After all, Gong Shilin grew up with him!

Wouldn't it hurt?

Gong Chi stood in the ancestral hall all night.

Always looking at his son's spirit throne.

It was not until dawn that he changed into clean clothes and sat in the hall.

He's waiting!

When the annual festival begins.

On the other hand, natuo has been depressed since he saw moths and blood that night. Even though Pingyang Hou repeatedly told him that it was an illusion, just because he was too tired, he was always in a panic.

Even after several days, I saw some strange things.

But when I woke up, I found that there was nothing at all!

But both the imperial doctor and the doctor said that he was not seriously ill, but he was too tired.

Just have a good rest.

People in the family also began to spread all kinds of strange speculation.

It is said that the third prince hit a ghost, and the ghost is Gong Shilin.

He said that he felt guilty because he personally supervised the execution of Gong Shilin, so he had nightmares all night and couldn't sleep.

It is said that he was cursed by the second Lord, so that's why!

It is also said that because he was punished by the king of Huyi to write scriptures and banned for five days, he was dissatisfied and could not accept the blow for a while, so he became unconscious.

……

There was a lot of speculation in the house.

But no one dared to reach NATO's ear.

If you know, the whole house will be punished.

So in front of NATO, everyone shut up!

And this morning, the Tuo couldn't get up.

The man lay in bed, pale.

Weak all over.

Finally, I got up with the help of the girl.

The corners of his lips turned white.

"Go, go and get the king's robes. The king will enter the palace."

On the day of the annual sacrifice, as a prince or a legitimate son, how can he not go?

The girl said, "Lord, you are so afraid..."

"Shut up and don't you bring your imperial dress?"

“……”

The servants in the room trembled and dared not speak again.

The girl took the imperial dress and changed it for him.

But he nearly fell to the ground after only two steps.

Until Pingyang Hou came in time to stop him.

And sent out the others in the house one by one.

"The Lord's health is important. I'd better have a rest at home first."

Then Tuo Jing: "what are you talking about? Let the king rest? Lord, you won't forget what day it is today?"

The Duke of Pingyang said, "of course I know, but if the Lord insists on going, if he can't endure, won't he lose a lot?"

"No! The king must go."

"No!" Pingyang Hou tightly grasped natuo's arm and said seriously, "the annual sacrifice is just a cover. Whether to go or not doesn't affect anything. In short, I've arranged everything. When the matter is settled, I'll order someone to pick up the king

When you enter the palace, you can read the imperial edict as long as the king gives way to the sages! "

The Tuo's eyes brightened, and he grabbed Pingyang Hou's hand with his backhand: "seriously?"

The Duke of Pingyang nodded heavily: "in short, don't worry, I'm in control tonight."

Then Tuo was relieved.

Breathe a sigh of relief.

He gave up the idea of entering the palace to participate in the annual sacrifice.

"In that case, the king won't go. I'll give everything to the marquis."
