It has been a month since Shen Qi replaced the identity of the seventh prince. He was locked in the tower of the castle, and the gate was guarded by two rows of soldiers day and night to prevent him from escaping.
Shen Qi had no intention of running away, he stayed for a week, and then as if he had figured it out, he proposed to talk to the king.
Perhaps there is still a little bit of guilt, the king came to see him, Shen Qi agreed to sacrifice, and promised not to resist, and half a dozen emotional cards and half threats, made three demands.
The first one, of course, was about the sixth princess. He had already inquired about it. The sixth princess did not die, but just broke a leg and was rescued. He asked the king to go to the messenger of the Holy Religion to heal the leg of the sixth princess and marry her off within half a month.
The marriage of the sixth princess was decided by her stepmother. The stepmother did not shy away from her disgust for the children left behind by the previous queen, even though they were also her nieces and nephews. , Only the sixth princess, because she gave birth to the seventh prince and died in childbirth, did not care.
The stepmother originally intended to humiliate the sixth princess, and set her a son of a poor nobleman. Who knows that many years later, the son of the earl was valued by a high country knight and accepted as a disciple. When the news came back, the stepmother sent a big anger, and In the past two years, they have been discussing the idea of marrying the ninth princess that she gave birth to instead of the sixth princess.
Shen Qi couldn’t care less about waiting for the sixth princess to be sixteen, so she had to marry her out quickly, otherwise, if he left, would she still be able to live
As for the fiance, the distance is too far, and there is no plane or train. When he receives the news and rushes back, I'm afraid it will be too late.
Shen Qi believed that the sixth princess had already sent a message to the fiancé, and half a month was enough for him to respond to the news.
The second thing, Shen Qi asked his two knights to follow him when he asked for the sacrifice.
The two knights of the Seventh Prince were orphans rescued by the former queen's kindness in the past. She helped train them. Although the two of them were not very powerful, they were only bronze knights one level higher than the official knights after training for more than ten years. The Queen's entrustment before her death, her loyalty to him is beyond doubt.
The two were arrested because the seventh prince was about to be sacrificed. If Shen Qi didn't take them away, I'm afraid that when he left, they would suffer just like the sixth princess.
So in any case, he had to take the two away together, even if the sacrifice was over, and then let them find another way to go to another country.
The first thing the king agreed to was fairly straightforward, and the second thing he hesitated for a long time, only after Shen Qi's insinuating beating did he agree.
After the first two important things were done, the third thing was much simpler. Shen Qi only proposed to meet his basic needs during his detention, especially in terms of food, clothing and housing, to get the best treatment and to understand the world. This is how the books were sent in.
Seeing that he didn't cry or make trouble, the king happily agreed to this, and pretended to express his father-son affection.
So the day after Shen Qi saw the knight picking up the sixth princess through the small window of the tower, the sacrifice began.
Early in the morning, Shen Qi was surrounded by a group of servants, who washed him from start to finish, put on a white robe, put on a pure white garland, and without shoes, carried him directly to the hall of the castle in a soft sedan chair.
Shen Qi felt that if he had two more wings behind his back, he could pretend to be an angel.
He was obviously using the lives of living people as sacrifices, but he dressed up as if he was going to enter the kingdom of heaven.
On the throne in the hall, the king and stepmother sat upright, the eighth prince William and the ninth princess and ten princesses stood at the bottom, and several important ministers lined up in turn.
"Oh, my child..." The king looked sad, as if he had forgotten that he allowed the seventh prince to sacrifice, and looked at Shen Qi lovingly and sadly, "You are still in front of my eyes when you were born, and your eyes have grown long. Be such a handsome boy, child, don't resent your father, for the sake of the people, for the sake of San Carlos, you will be remembered by everyone, you are the glory of the royal family."
Shen Qi was expressionless, and rolled his eyes in his heart, why didn't William come with such a glory? Or you can do it yourself.
The stepmother held an ivory fan and smiled softly, but she did not hide her viciousness and pride: "Your Majesty, don't be sad, the Seventh Prince is so handsome, Lord Dragon God will definitely love him, watching His Majesty sad, my heart is full. It's all going to shatter."
The king immediately put away his sad expression, and glanced at his stepmother affectionately. The stepmother immediately gave the king a wink, and the king's breathing became heavy.
The ministers were not surprised, drooping their eyelids and pretending that they didn't see anything.
Shen Qi had no memory of the seventh prince, and it was the first time he saw the king and his stepmother getting along. is a miracle.
Looking at the prince and princess next to him, William's face was gloating, and Shen Qi's eyes were extremely proud. The ninth princess' chin was raised high, even prouder than a peacock. She didn't bother to look at Shen Qi at all. The sight, as if seeing something dirty, made her avoid it.
The tenth princess was very young, and she lowered her head to play with the toys in her hand, and she became impatient from time to time, as if she didn't want to stay here at all.
This must be placed in the ancient court of the East, and if these few can survive safely, he will lose.
After some nutritious conversation ended, Shen Qi was carried away by the soft sedan again, this time for nearly half a day, and the destination was the seaside.
There was a small accident on the way.
Six princesses appeared.
She was sitting on the carriage, lying on the edge of the window, with tears on her face, struggling to get down, but was pulled by her fiancé: "Ogu, Ogu..."
Shen Qi had a headache. The real Seventh Prince was dead. He could help him solve problems one by one out of morality, but he couldn't cut off his feelings.
The guards blocked his soft sedan in unison, staring at the carriage vigilantly, not daring to do it directly because of his fiance.
Shen Qi flicked his beautifully dyed nails, the ghost knew that this sacrifice actually had to dye his nails, not only his fingernails, but also his toenails, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
He thought about it and said, "Sister, you don't have to worry about me, I have already figured it out, you live a good life in the future, maybe we will meet again, I won't blame you, don't blame yourself, you must live well happiness."
This is his sincere words. The sixth princess is a good girl, gentle and kind. She is willing to risk her life for her brother. She deserves happiness. Moreover, when he says goodbye in the future, it is not empty talk. goodbye time.
The sixth princess's tears fell even more violently: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Shen Qi shook his head, not blaming him, and looked at the fiancé again: "I entrusted my sister to you."
The fiance seemed to be a very reliable person, and nodded very solemnly: "I will."
After this episode, Shen Qi was not in a good mood. When he got to the place and saw the dense crowd, his mood was even worse.
This is a wide sea with a long coastline, and the beach is full of people who come to celebrate.
Yes, congratulations.
For them, sacrifice is not cruel, but worthy of celebration.
Men and women, young and old, even children, everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles, and they shouted the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Prince, as if they were not going to send him to death, but to welcome him, and even put fruit and food on their heads. Passed to him enthusiastically.
Shen Qi had a shuddering feeling.
A middle-aged man dressed in red with the appearance of a bishop walked over, with kind eyebrows and compassionate eyes. He stretched out his hand and placed it on top of Shen Qi's head, and a burst of white light immediately enveloped Shen Qi: "Child, don't be afraid, the God of Light will bless you."
It's light magic, a kind of healing technique.
Shen Qi quickly made a judgment, but with his keen perception, he felt a strong sense of rejection towards this bishop. Although he didn't seem to show anything wrong, Shen Qi just felt that something was wrong, and cooperated with him to investigate these days. The information that came out gave me a vague conclusion.
The soft white light enveloped him and did not completely dissipate. This made Shen Qi more like an angel, and the surrounding civilians had already knelt down and kowtowed to him one after another.
The bishop seemed to be very satisfied with the situation, looked at Shen Qi's eyes more kindly, and helped him straighten his clothes: "Child, go ahead, bravely move forward, the God of Light will be proud of you."
Shen Qi squinted his eyes, was lifted by the soft sedan chair, and walked towards the coast. The moment he passed the bishop with his back, he flicked the placket of the shirt he had touched. Damn, if it wasn't a pervert, he would jump into the sea live!
The bearers carried him into the sea, and someone pulled the prepared boat with a soft bed in the middle, surrounded by flowers and fruits, and then helped Shen Qi to lie down.
According to the old custom, sailors with powerful boats will be sent to the deep sea, and then the sailors will return and let him drift further into the depths, waiting for the dragon to receive them.
This time, Shen Qi wanted to take away two knights, so they set up a boat and pulled his boat to the deep sea.
Two big, one small, three wooden boats headed for the deep sea, and the people along the coast cheered and sang music, apparently to start a big celebration.
Shen Qi squinted and listened, and when he was sure that he couldn't hear any more sound, he immediately sat up and looked back. Sure enough, he couldn't see the coast.
He lifted up his robe and took out two shoes from his waist, which he hid. There will be a tough battle to fight in a while, how can we do without shoes.
As he put on his shoes, he said in the surprised eyes of the two knights on the left and right: "Murray, York, now I'll give you two choices, one, take the fruit from my boat, set up the boat to row west, and you can row in about a day. When you leave the range of San Carlos, you can find any empire to settle down and never come back. Second, stay and prepare to fight with me, and maybe for a long time, we will stay on the desert island."
Morrie and York almost agreed: "We choose two, and we will follow His Royal Highness to the death."
"Very good." Shen Qi nodded, stood up, tore off the cumbersome robe, turned into simple long-sleeved trousers, and tied a bow around his waist with great interest, and picked up the boat by the way. A fiery red flower pinned to a bow.
He reached out and took the dagger from York's hand, pulled a sword flower to feel the weight, and said with satisfaction: "Then don't make a fuss about whatever you see, keep the flower boat, and don't let anyone approach."
Murray and York looked at each other, startled by his series of actions.
"Shh-"
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Shen Qi. He lay down again with a whistle, and gave the two of them a wink: "Pretend that nothing happened and continue paddling."
The two were surprised when they saw a ship approaching in the distance, a large ship at least ten meters in length. The long sword and the big knife stared at them maliciously.
Suddenly frightened.
"Keep paddling!"
Shen Qi let out a low voice, closed his eyes and listened to the noise coming from the opposite side, judging the distance. When the two ships were five meters apart, he patted the edge of the ship, and the whole person rose into the air and flew to the side of the opposite ship in the blink of an eye. The short sword spun in his hand, and it was three lives in an instant.
Then, in the eyes of a group of shocked eyes, he lightly tapped water, and rose again, with three lives.
Stupid, I know martial arts!
The author has something to say: Well, the dragon will appear in the next chapter, and it is guaranteed to be cool and mad, and the sacrifice or something has nothing to do with the attack, so as usual, the church that has always been the villain in Western Fantasy has to take the blame.
