Countless people gathered at the pier in Jingzhou, and there were lotus leaf paper boat lanterns everywhere on the river.
The children who were sacrificed have already been laid to rest. Yu Ji's rituals lasted for three days and three nights. He worked almost non-stop to pray for the children, and at the same time, he also prayed for the people who died in the disaster.
Many parents who had lost their children also gathered together and knelt on the river to pray, hoping that their children would be safe in the afterlife. They all believed in the afterlife. After all, this was also a kind of sustenance.
Compassionate sobs kept coming, but for many months, the dark clouds that had shrouded Jingzhou City quietly dispersed, and the long-lost sun also appeared in everyone's sight, watching the sunlight illuminate the surroundings. A warm color, which is a sign of warmth.
Li Huguo looked into the distance and found a beautiful blue flower slowly opening on a sloping soil slope. It was blooming to vent the depression of many months.
In Xuchang, Zhang Jiao's face was ashen. He clenched his fists and glared at a book on the table.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Wu Zibang asked next to him.
Zhang Jiao gritted his teeth and said, "My Five Ghost Transporting Technique was broken. Not only was it broken, but the other party also attacked me. Now the world's luck is balanced again."
"What?!" Wu Zibang's face changed, "How did you do it, how could your good five ghost transporting technique be broken just after you said it was broken? How can I trust you again with you like this?"
"Prime Minister, Pindao said before that no one who belongs to my sect can break my Five Ghost Moving Technique, because it is a very dangerous move in the Taiping Art, and I have done it in advance. I don't know, once Anyone who steps into the gathering place of my Yin Eyes will be haunted by nightmares. White ghosts will definitely be attracted within three months and the person will be destroyed. But now... I am afraid that the only person who can break my five ghost transporting skills is Apart from one person, there can be no other person."
"But I already killed Zuo Ci a while ago." Wu Zibang said.
"No, it's Yu Ji." Zhang Jiao stood up and said, "This junior fellow of Pindao is a idle cloud yehe, and he is usually very lazy. Moreover, I told him his fortune, saying that he would die an untimely death last year, but I made a fortune just now, He was supposed to be dead, but now he's alive."
"Yu Ji?" Wu Zibang thought about the Three Kingdoms and thought to himself, wasn't Yu Ji killed by Sun Ce? Could it be that Sun Ce didn't kill him
But when he thought of Li Yuguo, Wu Zibang felt relieved. The feeling was that Li Yuguo also knew the importance of Yu Ji and protected Yu Ji. After all, Sun Ce put it nicely, that is, Li Yuguo's brother-in-law is a family. As the eldest brother, if Li Yuguo He told Sun Ce not to kill Yu Ji, how dare he not listen
"In this case, sir, do you have any other strategies to deal with them?" Wu Zibang said.
Zhang Jiao snorted and laughed: "He thought that he succeeded after breaking my Five Ghost Transport Technique? How naive. As his senior brother, the master taught me a lot of spells back then, and this Five Ghost Transport Technique, but It’s just a drop in the bucket, it’s not easy to deal with them, I’ll think of a way right now!”
Wu Zibang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said in his heart that you can't help it but you still say so proudly, but unfortunately this horn is very capable and he is not easy to offend, so he gave up and said nothing more.
Sometimes shutting up can win people over more than talking, this is what Wu Zibang thinks.
Zhang Jiao looked at Wu Zibang and said, "My lord, I've thought of an incredible plan!"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Zibang immediately became happy and said, "Then tell me what the plan is."
"Now Jiangnan has been severely weakened. It is a good time to attack. Their food harvest is poor and the people are displaced. If we send troops at this time, we will definitely be able to catch them off guard!" Zhang Jiao said, squinting. He raised his eyes, his narrowed eyes flashing dangerously.
Wu Zibang said: "Why do you say that?"
"When we send out troops, I can add a blessing to our soldiers. Then our soldiers will forget the pain and their combat effectiveness will increase several times!" Zhang Jiao said.
"Isn't this pushing our troops back toward death?" Wu Zibang said with a frown.
Zhang Jiao smiled and said: "No, if the lord wins, then the world will belong to the lord. Wouldn't it be better if the lord compensates the dead soldiers? It can also help the lord win people's hearts."
Wu Zibang nodded and fell into deep thought.
However, while they were talking, a maid walked by silently. The maid glanced at them and then returned to the palace.
In the palace, Queen Mother Tang Yurou was taking the little emperor out. They were walking. The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Run slowly, run slowly!"
Watching the little emperor grow up day by day, as a mother, she was naturally very proud. Unfortunately, this seemingly magnificent palace was actually a cage, a huge luxurious cage that imprisoned their mother and son.
Although they said they had no worries about eating and drinking inside, they were not happy in their hearts.
There was a crack in the north wall of the Xuchang Palace. The little emperor's favorite thing to do was to run to the crack and take a peek, because there was a market outside the high wall. There were many shopkeepers' children playing in groups in the market, and the little emperor's favorite thing was to run to the crack and take a peek. The emperor is now five years old, and he very much wants a playmate.
But he is the emperor, and friends and playmates are nothing more than the most luxurious things to him.
Seeing her son like this, Tang Ji kept questioning herself, was her original choice really the right one? For the sake of the so-called Han royal family, she and her son came to this place. Although she said she had no worries about food and clothing every day, what she longed for more was freedom.
They were actually under house arrest. For five years, first Cao Mengde and then Sima Yi, the mother and son never stepped out of the palace. The maids and eunuchs around them were most likely Wu Zibang's spies, monitoring every move of the mother and son.
However, there was one person who was Tang Ji's confidant, and that was a palace maid from Luoyang.
At this time, the palace maid had already run over in small steps. When she came closer, the guards on the left and right were looking at her, and she said very humbly: "Your Majesty, the meal is ready..."
"Okay, the Ai family will come right away." Tang Ji said.
When turning around, the palace maid put a handkerchief into Tang Ji's hand. This movement was so small that the guards did not notice it.
When Tang Ji came to the canteen, she didn't like others watching her eat, so she opened the handkerchief and turned aside when she saw the content on it.
"Empress." A person jumped down from the ceiling, and it was Xue Yu.
And Xueyu is another person Tang Ji trusts. She comes and goes without a trace, and she is Baima's wife. Tang Ji said: "How is your husband doing now?"
"Doctor Cheng Yu wrote a letter and he will come during this period, but something seems to have happened in Jingzhou and he hasn't come yet." Xueyu said.
