Fu Yunxi in the crowd narrowed her eyes. The little girl seemed to have grown up a little. Is this the real her without concealing herself
Han Yan bent his eyes and winked at Fu Yunxi from a distance, clearly saying: What, I didn't embarrass you, did I? But he saw a faint smile on Fu Yunxi's face. From such a distance, Han Yan seemed to be able to feel his profound gaze, and quickly turned away, pretending to be attracted by other things.
Ji Lan covered his mouth and snickered. Han Yan followed Zhuang Shiyang to where the officials were standing. He saw that the high platform was filled with sacrificial supplies. There were red silk on the table dragging cow and sheep heads and other items. A mage-like figure People stand on top.
The Spring Festival has different patterns every year, and it’s also fun to watch. Zhuang Hanming was also followed by Yingzi, and Ji Lan had been paying attention to Yingzi's every move. Since the last accident, Ji Lan had been full of guard against Yingzi. But Yingzi just lowered his head and followed Zhuang Hanming. He was so obedient and cowardly that he didn't dare to speak, and he couldn't see any strange movements.
I heard the wooden pile hitting the huge bronze bell three times: "Dang, Dang, Dang." The spring festival began.
The mage held a wooden sword in one hand and muttered something to the altar, then knelt down and laid his head on the ground. Suddenly, some people wearing masks of gods appeared around, dancing sacrificial dances, with red bells on their wrists and ankles, which looked extremely festive.
Ji Lan watched with gusto, but Han Yan felt that something was wrong. He had a very subtle feeling in his heart. Although he couldn't explain it clearly, this uneasiness was gradually amplifying, and he felt that there was danger in his gut. She calmly looked away and looked elsewhere.
Yingzi was very close to Zhuang Hanming, and she was also staring closely at the sacrifice ceremony on the stage. She couldn't see anything wrong. Zhou was leaning against Zhuang Shiyang, but the root of the disease was still in her body, so she looked a little pale and delicate. Han Yan frowned and couldn't see it any further away. She raised her head and glanced at the tower where the royal family stayed in the distance. Is the Queen Mother here too
Time passed quickly, and the ceremony on the stage was coming to an end. The mage suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a ball of fire on top of the sacrificial wine barrel, burning bright flames, and then cheered. After announcing the end of the entire god-sacrifice ceremony, the people around him also cheered.
Ji Lan was still not satisfied with what he saw: "Miss, this Spring Festival is really beautiful."
Han Yan was noncommittal, looking around, he saw crowded crowds. It would be very easy for something to happen in such a chaotic scene. With this worry in his heart, Han Yan couldn't explain what it felt like. But when the ceremony on the stage was over, many exciting programs came again.
After the Spring Festival ceremony, skilled craftsmen will perform some festive programs. These programs are the most popular among the people and are the most novel and lively. They indicate that the coming year will be smooth and there will be a bumper harvest. At this time, the dragon and lion dances were performed on the stage. Today, the dragon and lion are very delicate and lifelike. The dragon and lion dancers are also very skilled. They move and jump, all lifelike. The clever moves he made made people bend forward and backward.
The emperor on the high platform also showed a smile. The world was prosperous. This was the scene that the emperor wanted to see most.
But is the world really prosperous
The show went on for a while, but no surprises were found. Han Yan gradually felt relieved. Thinking that there were secret guards protecting the royal family here, he felt overly worried. Who would be so bold as to do something in public? Feeling a gaze falling on him, Han Yan raised his head to look, and happened to see Fu Yunxi looking down. He and he were separated from the crowd, but they could still see each other. Han Yan smiled at him, Fu Yunxi raised her lips, and Han Yan turned her head to watch the performance on the high platform.
The show was reaching the stage of juggling. Several men with big knives jumped on the women's backs and picked up the dishes with the tips of their knives. The dishes kept spinning. This requires a certain amount of skill. People around him were amazed, and Han Yan was also attracted to it. At this time, the man playing the drum gave a heavy hammer sound. When the show reached its climax, one of the men suddenly turned over and waved the long knife in his hand towards the woman. Blood splattered everywhere and only "Gulu" was heard. With a sound, the woman's head was cut off to the ground.
The people in the audience were silent for a moment, and then suddenly fled in all directions as if they were frightened: "Help, we're killing people!" Several men with knives on the stage suddenly turned over and jumped down, rushing into the crowd, raising their knives and dropping them. Time and blood scattered everywhere, and there were cries everywhere.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden change. In just a quarter of an hour, the crowd became commotion and crowded into a ball. No one could clearly see who was next to them. The guard responsible for protecting the emperor was the first to react: "The crossbowmen are ready, protect the emperor!"
Thousands of crossbows were ready to go, but the problem came again. It was indeed easy to identify the men with knives just now, but they found that among the crowd, there were people dressed as ordinary people who raised butcher knives. These people were mixed with the crowd, and it was impossible to tell who was who. What was even more helpless was that they could not directly point the crossbow at the entire crowd. In this case, too many innocent people would lose their lives.
Someone got into the crowd and caused such chaos! The body was crowded with people in an instant. Han Yan was petite and could not move at all. He could only be squeezed in other places with the crowd. His ears were filled with people's cries and pleas for help. The smell of blood filled the tip of his nose. It turned out to be Very pungent. She tried hard to find Zhuang Hanming and Ji Lan, but all she could see were dense crowds, and Zhuang Hanming and the others were nowhere to be seen. At this moment, there was an inexplicable tension in her heart, and she suddenly felt that danger was approaching.
Who caused this chaos? What's the purpose? Han Yan knew that such a big gesture must not be possible by the Zhou family, nor could it be the Great Zhou family, because she did not have the courage. Could it be that she was the Queen Mother again? But if she was the Queen Mother, what did she want to do? Even if it is to poison yourself, there is no need to make such a big show of it.
At this moment, Han Yan suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Master, Master!"
Han Yan remembered that voice very clearly. It was Yingzi's voice. Her voice sounded anxious at this moment. Could something have happened to Zhuang Hanming? Thinking of this, Han Yan felt suddenly nervous and tried her best to get closer to the sound. However, the crowd was so crowded that it was not easy to get closer. Although Zhuang Hanming argued with her, he was the only blood relative in the world after all. Should he just watch him die? Thinking of this, Han Yan ran over there desperately, her hair was messed up and scattered by the crowd, and she suddenly jumped out, only to see a scene that shocked her.
The man holding the big knife was standing behind Zhuang Hanming. Zhuang Hanming was thrown to the ground at this moment. His whole body was covered with scars, and there was no sign of resistance. The big knife was about to strike Zhuang Hanming's head. Han Yan only felt that his own His heart clenched into a ball, and the entire tragedy of his previous life appeared in front of him.
