Gu Huaian saw the panic on Liu Yue's face, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Master Liu, why are you in such a panic? You can't be so nervous. We have no other mission here this time, that is, we are here on the order of the emperor. Take a tour and see how you are handling this drought."
"Your Majesty... Has Your Majesty already heard about the drought?"
"What Mr. Liu said is interesting. Didn't you report to the emperor about the disaster in Zhenzhou?" Gu Huaian looked at Liu Yue's various behaviors and felt more and more that there must be something wrong with this man.
"Oh, yes, it was reported by a subordinate. I didn't expect that the emperor would send your Excellency so quickly..."
"It's not just us two emperors who have also sent people to deliver disaster relief funds. Let's go ahead and the relief funds will arrive later." Gu Huaian kept watching the reaction of the person opposite him while he was speaking, hoping to see more Get a little bit of his vulnerability.
"Thank you for your hard work, sirs."
Shen Qianshan looked at Liu Yue. The last time he saw him, he was not like this. He looked a little strange. "But Mr. Liu, we seem to have heard some rumors on the way here. I heard that Mr. Liu The method used to deal with the drought this time is very special. Some kind of heavenly master was invited to pray for heavy rain, so the drought was alleviated. I wonder if the news we heard is true or false?"
Shen Qianshan did not forget that he must make innuendoes. When he was dealing with Liu Yue, he thought he was some kind of gentleman. It turned out that he was not at all. He was an ignorant county magistrate who only knew how to pray to God and worship Buddha. It's really ridiculous to think that such a person can become an official.
Liu Yue also had a troubled look on his face, "You two adults don't know anything. Xiaguan didn't believe in those so-called heavenly masters at first, but this time, the drought has been too long, and Xiaguan really has no other choice." This is why we invited this heavenly master, but this angel really has great supernatural powers. He has only been here for one day, and he has already prayed for Zhenzhou City and several surrounding towns. After a heavy rain, the nearby drought was alleviated, and that’s why we trust him so much.”
Liu Yue was anxious to explain to the two of them, but his explanation was indeed full of loopholes. Shen Qianshan also found it funny after hearing it, "Mr. Liu, don't worry, Mr. Gu and I don't mean to blame you, we just However, we stay in Kyoto all year round and find it rare to see such a divine person. We would also like to meet this heavenly master. Since this heavenly master has great supernatural powers, we should naturally treat him well, no matter what we do. , as long as it can solve the urgent needs of the people, it is a good thing."
Shen Qianshan really wanted to see what this charlatan looked like
After Liu Yue listened to Shen Qianshan's words, he breathed a sigh of relief. He did not expect that the two ministers who came to provide disaster relief also believed in what these ghosts and gods said. Otherwise, what he is doing now may have caused disasters long ago. Both of them were angry.
"Is it inconvenient for Master Liu to be like this? If it is inconvenient for him, the two of us can visit him at home." Gu Huaian asked Liu Yue quickly when he saw that Liu Yue was silent.
Liu Yue raised his head and smiled at Gu Huaian, "But it's not inconvenient, it's just that the two of them can't accept such a thing. When this heavenly master prays for rain, he uses living animals..."
"What's wrong? When the royal family sacrifices, they always use living animals." Gu Huaian suppressed the anger in his heart, put on a smile, and continued to ask Liu Yue.
When Liu Yue talked about this place, he also felt a little guilty. After all, before this heavenly master came to Zhenzhou City, he had never heard of using living people as sacrifices. When people make sacrifices, they themselves are frightened.
But just because after the prisoner died, Zhenzhou City did experience a heavy rain, and it continued to rain for two or three days, which made me have to believe that this heavenly master could really save Zhenzhou. of.
"We already knew this when we came here. The two of us don't have any other intentions. We just want to meet this Celestial Master. We also hope that you can invite the Celestial Master here during dinner. , we have something to ask this Heavenly Master."
In any case, Gu Huaian and Shen Qianshan both hoped to meet this so-called Heavenly Master first. That day, Shen Qianshan could only see him from a distance next to the altar. In addition, the man was wearing a mask, so he didn't see him at all. To see his true face, you must at least know where this person came from.
With such an ability to confuse people, he must not be a simple person.
Liu Yue's face looked a little uneasy, but he nodded in the end, "Let's do this. You two adults will wait for a moment. When dinner is served, I will send someone to invite the Heavenly Master to come over."
Huang Hao found it boring to stay outside the city. There had been a drought near Zhenzhou for such a long time, and there was not even a wild animal in the woods. It really made him feel bored, so he raised his hand casually and used darts to target the birds in the sky. , I didn’t expect to hit a very fat pigeon with just one shot.
Huang Hao plucked the feathers from the pigeon and was about to put it on and roast it on the fire when he was spotted by the sharp-eyed Zhuiyun.
"General Huang, wait!"
Zhuiyun recognized it at a glance. It was Gusu Liang's flying pigeon. He just didn't notice it for a moment, but it had become General Huang's food. Although the pigeon was not worth much, Gusu Liang was beside him. There are a lot of them, but the young master probably won’t just send a pigeon over and serve them food and drinks.
Huang Hao saw Zhuiyun and invited him to come and eat with him. Zhuiyun had quick eyes and quick hands and took the mailbox tied to the pigeon's foot. "I won't eat it. General Huang, use it slowly..."
This pigeon was extremely unlucky, and was actually hit by Huang Hao.
Zhuiyun doesn’t know what happened? However, he still pulled Gu Qiang, who was distracted, over.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened? You're so anxious!" Gu Qiang was staring at the sky in a daze. Shen Qianshan and Gu Huaian had been walking for most of the day, and they didn't know what the current situation was. What's going on? After seeing such a scene, he would naturally worry about the safety of the two of them. Just as he was thinking about it, Zhuiyun dragged him directly to the tree.
"This is the letter just sent by the master. Before I left Kyoto, the master once told me that if there is nothing important, fine, don't contact me by flying pigeons. But just now I was at the place where General Huang was preparing to bake. I saw this on the feet of a pigeon."
Zhuiyun handed the letter to Gu Qiang. Zhuiyun believed that his master would never use such a risky method to send a message if there was nothing important. Now it seems that something must have happened in Kyoto. important things.
As soon as Gu Qiang saw Zhuiyun's expression, she realized that something might be wrong, and quickly opened the letter in her hand. Sure enough, something really happened in Kyoto.
Gusu Liang briefly said in the letter that the fire in Lingyin Pavilion naturally led to Shen Zhongbai beginning to doubt their identity. What's more serious is that now that Gu Qiang is not in the imperial city, Shen Zhongbai no longer knows how to send someone. How many times have I chosen Gu Suran to enter the palace, or sent Shen Siyin to visit.
Gusu Liang has been using the excuse that Gu Suran is ill for many days. Although Shen Zhongbai has not come to announce it again, Xiaoyao Building seems to have been surrounded by a lot of people recently. Gusu Liang is afraid that he will not be able to persist, so he writes a letter. , I want the two of them to come back as soon as possible.
Gusu Liang was afraid that Gu Linjiang would be harmful to Gu Qiang, but he did not expect that Gu Qiang, who was no longer in the capital, would become the biggest hidden danger.
After Gu Qiang read Gu Su Liang's letter, her heart sank. It seemed that she had no choice but to go back now. After all, she couldn't harm Gu Su Liang because of her own affairs.
Seeing Gu Qiang's hesitation, Zhuiyun also became anxious, "What are you still thinking about? Such a big thing has happened in the capital. We should go back now. Otherwise, the master may not be able to hold on alone."
Zhuiyun didn't know that Feng Yao was Shen Qianshan, so he couldn't understand why Gu Qiang was hesitating now.
Gu Qiang put down the letter and said, "Let's go back now. We can't delay it any longer."
Gu Qiang still has the token that Shen Qianshan left for her. As long as she has this token, she can control the secret guards in Yuhua Tower to protect Gusu Liang, lest something unexpected happens to Gusu Liang. , neither of them had time to save him.
Zhuiyun and Gu Qiang never thought that such a big thing would happen to them in such a short time after they left Kyoto. After the fire in Lingyin Pavilion, Gusu Liang probably encountered a lot of people. Trouble, after all, he only has one person to deal with Gu Linjiang and Shen Zhongbai at the same time, and he even has to be on guard against Shen Siyin. It is really too difficult. It seems that what Gusu Liang has to face now is definitely no better than himself. What you see now is simple.
Shen Qianshan actually doesn't know what to do next, but there is one thing that he and Gu Huai'an both understand in their hearts. This heavenly master is definitely not someone who can really talk to ghosts and gods, but is just a person who can see. I am just a person who understands the astronomical phenomena, so I can guess when it will rain in this place.
As long as he seizes the opportunity to appear in Zhenzhou City two days before it rains and perform a ritual ceremony, he will definitely make the people in the city believe in him and believe that he is really a man with great supernatural powers. A god who can pray for rain.
