Chapter 1353 Arrangements Before the Great Sacrifice

On the 29th, in the early morning.

Under the night, the capital city was silent and pitch black.

Since the 20th day, the blood moon has not been seen at night, and there is always a dark cloud that will cover it, and even Xu Jianzheng can't see through the dark clouds to find out the current situation of the blood moon.

Everyone speculated that it should be Emperor Jianwu and the mad god in Blood Moon. They were afraid that their intentions would be discovered, so they made such a move as a cover-up.

At this moment, people in other parts of the capital are still sleeping, but the headquarters of Zhenyaosi is already busy in a tense atmosphere.

Luo Anduan was sitting in the messenger room, holding a list in his hand to order generals.

The people whose names were called all puffed up their chests, showing excitement and pride.

They will take the people under their hands to the Taimiao, and together with the editors, the guards, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities, they will be responsible for the security of the prisoner offering gift.

This is a great gift of captives for the destruction of a country!

The Great Xia Dynasty had been established for hundreds of years. Except for the early days of the founding of the country, few countries were wiped out afterwards.

Being able to participate in this grand event, even if it is not like the princes and ministers who followed Emperor Jianwu to sacrifice to the world, but is only responsible for guarding and patrolling, it also makes the group of monster towns feel proud and honored.

Some people even started to imagine that after hearing their own name, they could brag about how powerful they were back then when they were entertaining their grandchildren at home a few years later, and even participated in the battle to destroy the Qingtang Kingdom. It's a big gift to present prisoners.

After reading the order, Luo An raised his head and glanced at everyone in the messenger room.

I saw that the people whose names were called were happy and happy, while those who were not called were either downcast or dissatisfied.

Luo An remained calm, but sneered in his heart: Those who are laughing now may not even be able to cry later... As for those who are unhappy now, they should thank me for saving my life.

He didn't reveal any thoughts in his heart. After closing the list, he said in a deep voice: "Those whose names are called, take your subordinates to the Taimiao immediately, and obey the arrangement of the eunuch who is the commander of the Jing army. Remember, you are Going on behalf of my town demon boss, don't lose face of my town monster boss!"

"yes."

"Humble post takes orders!"

"Thank you for cultivating, my lord!"

The people whose names were called all bowed their hands to accept the order, and then excitedly passed the good news to their subordinates, and led them to the Taimiao to listen to the order.

After these people left, Luo An told those who were not named in the police room: "Although you don't go to the Taimiao, you should not be negligent. The gift of offering captives is a grand event in our court, so we must guard against it." Demons, ghosts and thieves took advantage of the opportunity to create chaos. Today, you take your own men and patrol the city closely, and if you find suspicious people, immediately arrest and warn them, do you hear clearly?!"

"Listen clearly."

Those who failed to go to the Taimiao took orders, both in voice and momentum, much weaker.

Luo An didn't care either, and waved his hand to tell them to get ready, but left Qin Shaoyou alone.

That's right, Qin Shaoyou was not sent to the Taimiao either.

When he was left behind, he was pondering in his heart: what does Luo An's arrangement mean? Are you still guarding against him?

When there were no other people in the messenger room, Luo An opened his mouth and said slowly: "I didn't send you to the Taimiao, are you very dissatisfied?"

Qin Shaoyou pretended to be unconvinced, and cupped his hands and said: "I am not dissatisfied with my humble position, but I just don't understand it. In terms of ability, ability, and loyalty, what is wrong with a humble position? Why can't I go to the Taimiao to be on duty?"

"I don't let you go, it's for your own good. After today is over, you will naturally understand my painstaking efforts. Take your people to patrol the south of the city. Without my order, no matter what happens, don't go near the Taimiao! "

With the latter sentence, Luo An put on a straight face, very serious.

It's not that Luo An really cares about Qin Shaoyou.

Just because Qin Shaoyou was the last hope of Emperor Jianwu, if anything happened today, Luo An, even if he was a trusted confidant of Emperor Jianwu, would be killed by the Yi clan.

Even if Qin Shaoyou died, he would have to die after Emperor Jianwu's affairs were accomplished.

"yes."

Qin Shaoyou bowed his hands to accept the order, and then pretended to be curious, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, what do you mean by these words? Is there something going on at the Taimiao?"

If he didn't ask, Luo An didn't feel at ease. After asking, Luo An was relieved, stared at him, and scolded: "Don't inquire about things you shouldn't inquire about!"

Then Qin Shaoyou was asked to prepare for the patrol quickly, and when he was about to walk out of the police room, he specifically instructed: "You must not tell others what I just said."

"I understand, I swear, I will never let a third person know what you said out of your mouth."

Qin Shaoyou pinched his fingers and swore, making Luo An nod in satisfaction, but he didn't notice that the direction of the kid's fingertips was the statue of the Nine Heavens Slaughtering Demon Patriarch enshrined by the headquarters of the Zhenyao Division.

Walking out of the police room, Qin Shaoyou quickly used his brain, thinking about the clues revealed in Luo An's words just now.

There is danger over the Taimiao!

Could it be that offering a captive gift is also a trap?

impossible. Judging from all the information we have so far, the gift of offering prisoners should be Emperor Jianwu's last chance.

Then there is another possibility...

Those who participated in the ceremony of offering captives would be treated as sacrifices to the mad god in the blood moon!

Yes, it must be so!

In addition to the people of several states, there must be something of sufficient weight among the sacrifices.

Civil and military officials, relatives of the emperor, as well as Li Erlang, Cai Guizhong and a group of eminent monks who were invited to watch the ceremony are the "hard dishes" among the sacrifices.

In this case, going to the Taimiao to be on duty is a matter of death. That's why Luo An said that he was not sent there for his own good.

With this guess, Qin Shaoyou returned to his messenger room, and told Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others what Luo An said and his guess.

Everyone used their brains one after another, and the guesses they came up with were not far from Qin Shaoyou's.

As for breaking the oath, Qin Shaoyou is not worried at all.

He swore an oath to his patriarch.

How could the Patriarch punish him for breaking this oath?

Even if it was punishment, he was punished to cook more dishes. It's hard to say whether this kind of thing is a punishment or a reward.

Although he was not sent to Taimiao, Qin Shaoyou didn't care.

If you really want to be sent to the Taimiao, there are some things that are not easy to do under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Now this kind of arrangement is just right, without going to the Taimiao, there will be much less eyeliner staring at them, and it will be more convenient to do things.

Qin Shaoyou and the others quickly made preparations. They were about to leave the headquarters of the Zhenyaosi, and went to the south of the city to pretend to be patrolling. Before the start of the grand ceremony, they cast aside their stalking eyes and went secretly to the Taimiao.

When Qin Shaoyou and the others left the headquarters of Zhenyaosi, Luo An also left with a few capable men.

But instead of going to the Taimiao, he went outside the city.

The reason Luo An gave was to urge the yamen of the demon townsmen around the capital to patrol and be on duty on the day of the great sacrifice, so as to prevent accidents from happening that would have a negative impact on the ceremony of offering prisoners.

But Qin Shaoyou and the others judged that Luo An was afraid of the danger of staying in the capital, so he simply went out of the city to hide from the disaster.

This also made Qin Shaoyou and the others more certain that Emperor Jianwu planned to sacrifice all the officials who participated in the ceremony.

"It's really a crazy batch..."

After Zhu Xiucai walked out of the Yamen of the headquarters of the Zhenyao Division, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the Taimiao, and complained quietly.
