Chapter 1273.2

Li Cheng poured the remaining half cup of wine into his mouth and planned to go to find Song Zhi.

But as soon as he got up, he heard the eunuch shouting.

"The king is here."

Hearing the sound, the people got up.

"See your majesty."

King Hu Yi is in poor health. He has been ill in bed for some time, but today, he is in a Dragon Robe, energetic and steady. He doesn't need the help of eunuchs, so he walks to the right position alone.

I can't see any sickness in him at all!

It is not surprising that if the Lord of a dynasty reveals his morbid state in front of everyone, he will cause unnecessary trouble.

For the annual sacrifice tonight, the king of Huyi had to hold on.

Make it through anyway!

He Longyan Dayue: "today is the annual sacrifice and new year's Eve. Everyone doesn't have to be polite."

"Thank you, king."

The crowd sat down again.

Hu Yi looked around for a week and was very satisfied. He said, "this annual sacrifice should have been handed over to the Ministry of rites as in previous years, but this year I handed it over to Na Yan. Now, it can be seen that he has spent his time."

When he was praised, he quickly got up and bowed his hands: "this is what my son and minister should do."

"You have a heart."

"The annual sacrifice is held once a year. The children's ministers are inexperienced and are afraid of omissions, so they have more time and thoughts."

"After the annual sacrifice, I will reward you heavily."

"Thank you, father."

Nayan thought: but will you give me the throne of Prince?

The ministers present were beating drums in their hearts and were guessing the meaning of King Hu Yi's words, but they wanted to make two princes prince?

What's more, the third Lord, who usually fights with the second Lord, is not here today.

All the signs seem to tell everything.

It seems that the situation is settled!

For the Nayan party, it is undoubtedly not the best news.

At this moment, it is the end of unitary time.

The eunuch stretched his neck and shouted, "sacrifice begins."

Before the annual sacrifice, there must be a witch God to dance.

This is the tradition of Huyi!

In Huyi, the witch God is the symbol of the gods.

The annual sacrifice is to sacrifice the heaven, the earth and the ancestors of the royal family of Huyi.

The dance of witches and gods means to dispel evil spirits and bring good luck!

There were 21 witches and gods this time.

They each wore masks and gorgeous and strange clothes.

Dancing barefoot.

They all had bells ringing.

And the sacrificial music also sounded.

The crowd drank and watched.

It suddenly snowed.

Snowflakes fell one after another to meet the light.

Fortunately, the place where people sit is under the corridor, which can avoid wind and snow.

Those witches and gods danced with snowflakes on the platform.

It looks different.

Song Zhi sat in his seat. He didn't drink or eat, so he sat there and watched.

When a maid of honor passed by him, she accidentally spilled the wine in her hand on him.

"Forgive me, sir. I didn't mean to." The maid in waiting trembles.

There was music all around, and Song Zhi's place was inconspicuous, so the movement was very small.

It didn't attract anyone's attention.

Song Zhi smiled gently: "it's okay, just a little."

"It's the slave's fault."

"You don't have to blame yourself, and I won't blame you."

Happened to be seen by the eunuch in charge.

He came over and asked a few questions. When he learned that, he trained the maid in waiting.

Song Zhi helped to say good words, which didn't make the maid punished.

However, people have three emergencies!

Song Zhi frowned and asked where the toilet was?

The eunuch took him there himself.

When it was solved, there was no eunuch.

Xu is busy!

When he first came to the palace, he couldn't tell the southeast from the northwest.

Moreover, the buildings in the palace are basically the same.

You can only try to find it by relying on the music from the sacrificial platform.

He went through a corridor and was about to turn the corner.

I heard two bodyguards talking.

"Has everything been arranged?"

"Well, people are arranged everywhere, just waiting for the sacrifice and incense."

"Remember, you must order a big fire, both East and West. When the time comes, take advantage of the chaos and take the king away. There must be no mistakes in the middle."

"Don't worry, the arsonist has arranged. The guards around the king are all our people now. Even if he has wings, he can't fly out."

"Be careful."

"I know."

Song Zhi overheard this remark.

Pupil dilation.

Very shocked!

Arson?

Holding the king?

His heart beat faster and his pores tightened suddenly.

The heart seemed to jump out of his mouth.

Just as he was about to step back, his heel hit the post.

"Dong" sound.

"Who?"

The bodyguard immediately turned around when he heard the sound.

Song Zhi panicked and ran quickly.

The footsteps chasing behind are getting closer and closer

He was sweating. When he crossed a long narrow road, his arm was caught by a force, pulled him to one side and hid behind the door.

His mouth was also covered from behind.

"Well..."

He struggled.

"Don't move!" Li Cheng yelled softly in his ear.

Hearing Li Cheng's voice, he immediately became quiet.

No more struggle.

Then he saw the two bodyguards who had just come after him passing by.

"Where are the people?"

"Are you sure there is someone?"

"I heard a voice."

"Did you hear wrong?"

"No, look forward. No one can know."

They didn't notice them hiding behind the door and continued to chase forward.

Wait for the bodyguard to go away

Li Chengcai released Song Zhi.

As soon as Song Zhi turned around, his eyes were tense. He immediately grabbed Li Cheng's hand and said, "I... I heard..."

With a calm face and two eyebrows across his face, Li Cheng took his words and said, "I heard it, too."

"So... What now? Do you want to... Tell the king? Or tell the second Lord?" Song Zhi was panting.

Very worried.

Li Cheng just saw Song Zhi leave suddenly, and he followed him.

Qiliao also heard the conversation between the two bodyguards just now!

What a shock!

It turns out that tonight's annual sacrifice is a Hongmen banquet.

Just——

Who on earth wants to kill the king?

Seeing that he was thinking and speechless, Song Zhi grabbed his hand and made some effort: "Cheng Shizi, it's too late. You have to inform the king quickly."

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll find my big brother first."

Li Cheng took Song Zhi and walked quickly.

After all, Li Qiao is responsible for the safety of the palace and the king.

So Li Cheng first thought of his big brother.

Coincidentally, when they first came out of the narrow road, they saw Li Qiao standing there with more than a dozen bodyguards.

It seems that

Just waiting for them.

Li Cheng rushed over quickly: "brother, no, someone will be bad for the king tonight."

Li Qiao said calmly, "who told you?"

"I heard with my own ears that someone wanted to set fire on the sacrificial platform and take the king away. You should quickly lead troops to stop it."

Li Qiao is indifferent!

He looked cold.

At this moment, Li Cheng noticed something wrong.

He took a step back.

"Brother?"

Li Qiao ordered, "catch it."
