In Ye Zhen's impression, although Baoxiang country is not as prosperous as Jin country, because of its geographical advantages, there are still many merchants from other places. Today, she is walking on the streets of this country, but she feels strange.
"Dad, how can it seem that there are more people from other places. Don't people in Baoxiang country like to go out and hide in the house?" Ye Zhen asked Ye Yiqing in a low voice. In fact, there are not many people coming and going on the road, and it seems that they are just merchants passing by. Most of the shops are closed.
Ye Yiqing said, "maybe Baoxiang country has fewer people."
"There should be some festival today." Zhaoyang said in a low voice, "you see, the women over there are wearing very strange clothes. They look like they are very grand."
After Zhaoyang's words were finished, he saw some people coming out of the closed shop. They were dressed in strange clothes. They looked like they were wearing bamboo leaf crowns and their bodies were covered with bamboo cloth. They looked like they were going to attend some grand ceremony.
"Dad, have you noticed that they don't look right on their faces." Ye Zhen low voice to Ye Yiqing said, everyone's face seems very sad, just like to go to mourning.
Ye Yiqing nodded gently, "Yaoyao, you first take the child back to the boat, I'll see the situation."
"Good." Ye Zhen see here is not right, if not with the child, she would like to see the lively, but the child in the side, she thought or not to risk good.
"Don, take your sister back to the boat." Ye Yiqing said to ye Chundong.
Suddenly, in Hongying's arms, Mingyu burst into tears. Her voice was louder than anyone else.
"What's the matter?" Ye Zhen hurried past, smell a sour smell, she laughed, "it seems that mingyula stink."
The cry of the child suddenly attracted many people's eyes, Ye Zhen even felt that those people's eyes were a little strange, she was suspicious and hugged Mingyu in her arms, "let's go first."
Is planning to take the children back to the boat, they just can't walk a few steps, they are stopped by a few soldiers in bamboo armor, they gabble at them and say a lot of words, Ye Zhen did not understand a word.
"What are they talking about? Why are they staring at Mingyu all the time?" Zhaoyang stands by Ye Zhen's side and looks at those soldiers with vigilance.
Ye Yiqing saw that the situation here had come immediately. Hearing the soldiers' words, his face sank. Why did these soldiers take the children? "This is our child. You can't take it."
When the soldiers heard Ye Yiqing speak their language, they immediately said in a loud voice, "since this child has entered our country, it is their destiny. It is the guidance of God. You must give this child to us."
"Dad, what are they talking about?" Ye Zhen feels that their eyes have been in Mingyu's body, a surprise in the heart, do you want to rob her child?
Ye Yiqing patted Ye Zhen's hand and motioned her not to be afraid. His eyes coldly looked at those soldiers, "I don't care what God you are, you can't rob my grandson."
"Then you can't leave here." The leading soldier yelled, "take the child, it must be sent by God to save our king."
The other five soldiers heard his words, immediately toward Ye Zhen, spears in the hands of them.
Ye Chundong grabs one of the men's spears and kicks him out.
"Protect the children." Ye Zhen said to the other two subordinates.
"Do they want to rob children?" Ye Zhen Jing voice, this treasure elephant country is how to return a responsibility, how can want to rob other people's children? She looked around and found the people in strange clothes standing by, looking at them sympathetically, with indignation in their eyes.
Ye Zhen in the heart of a moment, these people should also be robbed of children?
The six soldiers were not ye Yiqing's opponents at all, and soon they were unable to stand up.
"Let's go." Ye Yiqing simply don't want to stay here, want to leave with Ye Zhen.
"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded, "Dad, what do they want?"
Ye Yiqing said, "listening to their words means that they want to take the children away. It's just a fart to say that it's the guidance of their gods."
"What do they want their children to do? The people we see today, have their children taken away? " Ye Zhen asked in surprise, "isn't that a soldier? How can they rob the children of the people? "
"Go back to the boat first, and then inquire." Ye Yiqing said that he also felt that the Baoxiang kingdom was a little strange. In Qi Yanling's notes, the people of Baoxiang country seemed to be very hospitable, and even the king was very kind to the people. It seems that in the past 100 years, Baoxiang Kingdom has changed after several generations of kings.
Before they returned to the ship, they were stopped at the gate.
There were at least ten soldiers standing around the city gate. The middle-aged man standing at the front of the gate was wearing a black feather cloak and a three mountain golden crown on his head. His face was dark and red, and the pouch under his eyes was frightening. He held a long crutch. On the crutch, there was an animal face carved with bones. He stood at the front and looked at the leaves coldly Zhen and Mingyu in her arms."God finally heard our prayer and sent God's child to our Baoxiang kingdom. This child was sent by God. The king's disease can be completely cured by one child. As long as the king is cured, our Baoxiang country will be as good as before. The people, for the sake of our respected king, must send that child to the altar, and the king will wake up Come on The middle-aged man said in a loud voice with a sinister look.
Although Ye Zhen can't understand what she is saying, she can guess what he means. She turns her head and looks at Ye Yiqing. None of them can think of such a change in the treasure elephant Congress.
"Who dares to come forward?" Ye Yiqing asked coldly.
Probably because his eyes and momentum were too cold, the soldiers' feet were stagnant for a moment.
"Your child, can save thousands of children, for the king of our treasure elephant country, for our innocent children, please take your children out." The middle-aged man said a stiff Chinese, his eyes straight at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen this listen to understand his meaning, this is to ask her child to serve as a sacrifice for others, "since it is your king, your child, why don't you go to be a sacrifice yourself? Take a child as a demon, why don't you get a thunder to kill you? "
The middle-aged man's eyes are more sinister, "this is your honor."
"Pooh!" Ye Chundong hums coldly, "we don't want this honor."
