1222. Chapter 1222 Obstructed

In Ye Zhen's impression, although Baoxiang Kingdom is not as prosperous as Jin Kingdom, due to its geographical advantages, many merchants from other places have settled here. Today, when she walked on the streets of this country, she felt inexplicably There is a strange feeling.

"Dad, why do it seem like there are more people from other places? Don't people in Baoxiang Country like to go out and hide in their houses?" Ye Zhen asked Ye Yiqing in a low voice. In fact, the people coming and going on the road are not There were many, and they seemed to be just businessmen passing by, and most of the shops were closed.

Ye Yiqing said, "Maybe there are only a few people in Baoxiang Kingdom."

"There must be some festival today." Zhaoyang whispered, "Look, the women over there are all wearing strange clothes, and they look very grand."

After Zhaoyang finished speaking, he saw someone coming out of the previously closed shop. They were all dressed strangely. They wore what seemed to be wild rice crowns on their heads and draped in orchid cloth. They looked like they were going to To attend some grand ceremony.

"Dad, have you noticed that the expressions on their faces don't seem right." Ye Zhen lowered her voice and said to Ye Yiqing. Everyone's face seemed to be very sad, as if they were going to a funeral.

Ye Yiqing nodded lightly, "Yaoyao, you take the child back to the ship first, and I'll go check on the situation."

"Okay." Ye Zhen could see something was wrong here. If she didn't have the child with her, she would have wanted to watch the fun, but with the child by her side, she felt it was better not to take the risk.

"Adong, send your sister back to the ship." Ye Yiqing said to Ye Chundong.

Suddenly, Mingyu, who was in Hongying's arms, burst into tears louder than anyone else.

"What's wrong?" Ye Zhen hurried over and smelled a sour smell. She laughed, "It seems that Mingyu La is smelly."

The child's cry immediately attracted the attention of many people. Ye Zhen even felt that the eyes of those people were a little strange. She felt suspicious and hugged Mingyu tightly in her arms, "Let's go first."

Just as they were about to take their children back to the ship, they had only walked a few steps when they were stopped by a few soldiers wearing bamboo armor. They chattered a bunch of words to them, but Ye Zhen didn't understand a word of it.

"What are they talking about? Why are they always staring at Mingyu?" Zhaoyang stood next to Ye Zhen and looked at the soldiers warily.

Ye Yiqing came over immediately when he saw the situation here. When he heard the soldiers' words, his face darkened. Why did these soldiers take away the children? "This is our child, you can't take it away."

When the soldiers heard that Ye Yiqing could speak their language, they immediately said loudly, "Since this child has entered our country, it is their destiny and the guidance of God. You must hand this child over to us."

"Dad, what are they talking about?" Ye Zhen felt that their eyes were always on Mingyu, and she was shocked. Are they trying to steal her child?

Ye Yiqing patted Ye Zhen's hand and told her not to be afraid. He looked at the soldiers with cold eyes, "I don't care what gods you have, you can't take away my grandson."

"Then you can't leave here." The leading soldier shouted, "Go grab the child. This must be sent by God to save our king."

When the other five soldiers heard his words, they immediately moved towards Ye Zhen, pointing their spears directly at them.

Ye Chundong grabbed the spear of one of them and kicked him out.

"Protect the children." Ye Zhen said to the other two subordinates.

"Do they want to snatch the child?" Ye Zhen asked in shock, what is going on in Baoxiang Kingdom? Why would they want to snatch other people's children? She glanced around and found those strangely dressed people standing nearby looking at them sympathetically, with grief and anger in their eyes.

Ye Zhen paused in her heart. Could it be that these people also had their children robbed?

The six soldiers were no match for Ye Yiqing, and they were beaten until they couldn't stand up after a while.

"Let's go." Ye Yiqing simply didn't want to stay here anymore and wanted to take Ye Zhen and the others away.

"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded, "Dad, what do they want?"

Ye Yiqing said, "The meaning behind their words is that they want to snatch the child away. It is nonsense to say that it is the guidance of their gods!"

"What do they want children for? Of those people we saw today, have all their children been taken away?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise, "Aren't they soldiers? Why are they robbing people's children?"

"Go back to the ship first and then inquire about the situation." Ye Yiqing said that he also felt that Baoxiang Kingdom was a bit strange. In Qi Yanling's notes, the people of Baoxiang Kingdom seemed to be very hospitable, and even the king was a very friendly and kind person. It seems that a hundred years have passed and Baoxiang Kingdom has changed after several generations of kings.

Before they could get back to the ship, they were stopped at the city gate.

There were at least dozens of soldiers standing around the city gate. The middle-aged man standing at the front was wearing a black feather cloak and an exquisite crown of three mountains of gold on his head. His face was dark and red, and the bags under his eyes were scary. His hands He was holding a long crutch, and the crutch had an animal face carved from its upper bones. He stood at the front, looking coldly at Ye Zhen and Mingyu in her arms.

"God finally heard our prayers and sent the child of God to our country of Baoxiang. This child was sent by God. The king's disease is only one child away from being completely cured. As long as the king is cured, we, Baoxiang The Xiang Kingdom will be as prosperous as before. The people, for the sake of our respected king, must send the child to the altar, and then the king will wake up." The middle-aged man said loudly, with a sinister and terrifying expression.

Although Ye Zhen couldn't understand what she was talking about, she could guess what he meant. She turned to look at Ye Yiqing. None of them could have imagined that they would encounter such a change in Baoxiang Congress.

"Who dares to come forward?" Ye Yiqing asked coldly.

Probably because his eyes and aura were so cold and stern, the steps of the soldiers were stagnant.

"Your child can save thousands of children. For the sake of our king of Baoxiang Kingdom, and for the sake of our innocent children, please take your child out." The middle-aged man spoke in blunt Chinese. His eyes were staring straight at Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen understood what he meant now. She wanted her child to be a sacrifice for others. "Since he is your king and your child, why don't you sacrifice yourself? Use a child as a demon. , why didn’t your god strike you to death with a thunderbolt?”

The middle-aged man's eyes became more sinister, "This is your honor."

"Bah!" Ye Chundong snorted coldly, "We don't want this honor."
