King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

Chapter 425: Hug left and right

  Chapter 425 Hug left and right

  The veil outside the five floats was lifted, and the five selected priests walked out of their respective floats. The graceful demeanor of every move made the surrounding people and the rich ladies stare blankly.

Seeing all this, Gu Qingqiu couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw this, and led a group of officials to the steps of the god-sacrificing roof, smiled and nodded at the people around him, raised his arms, and pressed down, "Everyone be quiet!" quiet."

   When the words fell, the first to be quiet were the people standing at the front. Although the people behind couldn't hear what Gu Qingqiu was saying, they saw that the people in front had quieted down, and they also calmed down unconsciously.

   Seeing this, Gu Qingqiu said loudly, "Everyone in Liucheng, my official Gu Qingqiu, the prefect of Liucheng, I think you all already know about it."

  After the words fell, the people below nodded slightly, waiting for Gu Qingqiu's next words.

  Gu Qingqiu glanced at the five men on the side, especially when his eyes fell on Feng Zhao, a trace of obscurity flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Looking away, Gu Qingqiu continued, "Today is my annual festival in Liucheng. I would like to thank the gods for giving me Liucheng's good weather and good health for the people in the past year... Five sons who worship the gods will be selected today, and they will be on the altar to worship the gods. On the top of the roof, thank the gods, and pray that the weather in Liucheng will be smooth and the family will be harmonious in the coming year."

   After the words fell, the eyes of the people below all fell on the five men. Among them are admiration, surprise, and covet...

   Seeing this, Gu Qingqiu's expression remained the same. Raising his hand, pointing to the steps that go straight into the sky, he looked at the five people and said, "Now, please invite the five priests to climb to the top of the roof, and be sure to return here before the first ray of sunshine in the sky..."

   It seemed that there was nothing to say in the back, but Gu Qingqiu looked at the five people with a smile on his face, and obviously had no intention of continuing to speak.

  The five people lowered their eyes, raised their steps together, and walked towards the steps that went straight into the sky.

  The five people had just stepped up the steps, and all the common people who were carrying chickens, ducks and fish meat followed closely, and followed slowly.

   Lanterns have already been hung on both sides of the steps, one light every ten steps, looking from a distance, it seems that there is no end in sight.

  Jun Li glanced at the steps, and then glanced at Gu Qingqiu indiscriminately. Thinking slightly in my heart.

  With such a long rank, without martial arts, it would be difficult to return before dawn. Not to mention, it is now the middle of the month, and most of the night has passed.

   This is obviously impossible, why would Gu Qingqiu...

  Looking at the expressions on the faces of the people around me, I obviously don't think this is impossible, so...

  Take out an ingot of silver from her bosom, hand it to an honest and honest woman beside her, and say, "Sister, I don't know something, and I want to ask for advice."

  The woman was touched by someone, and she was still a little dazed. But when he saw the bright and white silver in front of his eyes, his eyes couldn't help but straighten instantly.

   Quickly took the silver, looked around, smiled at Junli, and said very familiarly, "Sister, if you have anything to say, just ask, as long as it is my sister, I will tell you everything."

  Hearing this, Jun Li bent his lips and said softly, "The moon is already in the sky, and there is no end to the top of the rooftop, how can we return before dawn?"

  The woman was stunned for a moment, then she smiled ambiguously at Junli, "Sister, are you from out of town? Which one of the five young masters do you like?"

  Hearing this, the corners of Jun Li's mouth twitched. This person really failed her appearance!

"Little sister, I am indeed from another place. I passed by here, and it coincided with the festival of worshiping the gods, so I stayed here for one night. In addition..." Jun Li smiled softly, "Little sister, I am just curious. The son has no idea."

  Hearing this, the woman chuckled, obviously not believing what she said. But when his gaze inadvertently fell on Su Yunqing who was in Junli's arms, a deep surprise flashed in his eyes.

  Although Su Yunqing was wearing a veil, her pair of clear and flawless eyes, as well as her elegant demeanor, were all inferior to those five young masters!

  The woman laughed dryly, "It turns out that my sister has such a stunning husband, no wonder she doesn't like the five young masters."

After finishing speaking, before Jun left his mouth, he continued, "It is really impossible in terms of time to rush from here to the top of the rooftop and then back again. But when you come back, you don't need the five sons to walk, because the prefect has already The sedan chair has been arranged, and it will be carried by a few people who know martial arts, and they will definitely return before dawn."

  Hearing the words, Junli understood, and said, "Be sure to return before dawn? Is there any taboo in this?"

The woman froze for a moment, then shook her head, "There is nothing taboo about it, but if you come back before dawn, it means that the festival is completed on the day of worshiping the gods. If you come back after dawn, it will be procrastinating and neglecting the gods. It will anger the gods. But after the five young masters come back, there is one more thing."

   Speaking of this, the woman's eyes showed a touch of excitement.

  Seeing this, Jun Li raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that you want to recruit a wife master?"

  Hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Sister, you are really smart. But it's not a trick, but a choice!"

select?

  Jun Li became interested. Since ancient times, in the Nvzun Kingdom, women have chosen their husbands. Now, it is the first time I have heard that there are husbands who choose their wives.

Seeing Junli's appearance, the woman understood what Junli was thinking, and said with a chuckle, "If it's an ordinary man, then naturally he can't choose a wife. However, each of these five wants status and status. He has status. What's more, he was selected as the son of worshiping the gods this time. You must know that in Liucheng, anyone who is selected as the son of worshiping the gods every year is known as the messenger of the gods, and they all have the right to choose that ordinary men cannot have. That is to choose a wife master!"

As she said that, the woman looked around, and continued, "Besides, these five young masters are so good-looking, it is a blessing that has been cultivated in three lifetimes to be chosen as husband. If it is normal, according to the people here and those young masters The gap between them is absolutely impossible. But now, maybe **** looks at mung beans, and he is lucky, and it is not impossible to be picked up by some young master. So, instead of It is these five sons who choose the wife-lord, so it is better to give ordinary people like us a chance."

  Jun Li nodded lightly, it turned out to be the case.

  Seeing that Junli understood, the woman smiled again, "My sister has such a temperament and appearance, maybe she can take away a young master."

   As she spoke, the woman glanced at Su Yunqing in Junli's arms, and her smile became more and more ambiguous, "Hug left and right, happy like a fairy."
