"Someone will tell you?" Duanmu Yawang frowned, not understanding: "Isn't the Exile Festival hosted by your nobles?"

The host said indifferently: "We presided over the operation, but the rules and ceremonies of each year are set by'others'. For example, today’s manager told you not to laugh, and the instructions and maps you got. , It's all information given by'others'."

"Who is this other person?"

Fang Zhu said: "We call them exiles. We don’t know who they are. Anyway, these people will appear without warning at every exile festival, mysterious and powerful. That’s just such a group of people, they It is stipulated that we cannot go out casually during the Exile Festival. We must travel according to the regulations and follow the instructions given by them."

"What if you don't do what they say?"

"It must be punished."

Duanmu Yawang pondered for a moment, and said: "Does the punishment have to be executed? Then if the punishment of the exile is not executed, what will be the consequences if it is not executed?"

"The consequences will make you regret not being able to escape."

"Oh?"

Fang Zhu's lips twitched, "If Miss Duanmu doesn't believe me, I can give you an example."

Duanmu Yawang: "I listen with great respect."

"Ximen Yingyue and Ximen Yuntu Miss Duanmu both know each other, right?"

"Yes." Fang Zhu suddenly mentioned the two, making Duanmu Yawang a little surprised, "Why are you talking about the two brothers and sisters?"

"Ms. Duanmu just came to our exile street. I guess many things are not clear. It is even more impossible until the Ximen clan has been strong for decades, and over the past few decades, it has been the dominant family. No one can shake the exile street."

Duanmu Yawang was astonished: "Didn't it mean that there can be no king in Banquet Street?"

The king can't, let alone the emperor?

"Yes." Fang Zhu nodded, "However, for decades, nothing happened to the Ximen family, and everyone didn't care about it. There are also some small families who also want to cut tribes and become kings." Having said too much, Fang Zhu paused, took up the cup, drank a cup of tea, and then continued to speak: "Until seven years ago, there was a peace-up ceremony in an exile festival."

Ye Nongying became curious for an instant, and interrupted and asked, "What is the peace-up ceremony? How do you solve this?"

"The explanation we received at the time was suppression, uprooting, and justice."

Duanmu Yawang was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Could it be that the nobles who ruled by the emperor should be suppressed and pulled up to show justice, right?"

"Yes."

Fang Zhushang said lightly: "Unfortunately, this shows that no one cares about this. No one knows what the suppression is up to and what it wants to suppress."

Having said this, he asked Duanmu Yawang: "I also said just now that every family must send one person in every exile festival, right?"

"right."

Fang Zhu raised his lips: "At that time, every family in the polar region also had a representative participating in the peace-up ceremony. The peace-up ceremony at that time was a very common ceremony. It was just that when the kit was distributed, it was called the emperor. The family claiming the king all received the punishment kit, while the others received all the red kits."

Duanmu Yawang was taken aback, "So, the punishment of the Exile Festival is actually aimed at some phenomena in the Exile Street, and it has nothing to do with whether you did something wrong in the ceremony."

"No, it's related." Fang Zhushang couldn't laugh or cry. "The Exile Festival is indeed partly aimed at the phenomenon of exile on the street, but there was a mistake in participating in the ceremony, and many people were punished for it."

Ye Nongying couldn't wait, "What was written in the penal kits received at the time for those members of the city's royal family who participated in the peace-up ceremony?"

The Lord Fang sank his eyes and slowly said, "Memorialize one person in a year."

Ye Nongying puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"Since there are sacrifices, it is naturally related to the memorial ceremony." Xiao Wuzheng interrupted and said, "It means, how many years have you called the emperor the king, then you will send how many people to the memorial ceremony in the same way as one person per year. Offerings."

Duanmu Ya looked at the eyelids suddenly, "Is the memorial ceremony used a living person as a sacrifice?"

"right."

Fang Zhu nodded and asked Duanmu Yawang: "Miss Duanmu, you have also been punished. You should know that there must be a memorial ceremony for the punishment, right?"

"right……"

However, the content of the punishment asked her to participate in the memorial ceremony. Should she participate as an audience or as a sacrifice?

Fang Zhu laughed, "I have almost never heard of anyone who can pass the punishment content of the ceremony, but Miss Duanmu passed it. To be honest, if this matter is known to other people on the exile street, it will definitely feel very unreasonable. Surprised."

Duanmu Yawang smiled, but didn't answer.

"Don't change the subject." Ye Nongying couldn't wait, "Ximen's family, what's the ending?"

Fang Zhushang just continued the content just now: "The Ximen family has been the emperor for decades. According to the content of the punishment, they were asked to choose dozens of people from the Ximen family as sacrifices. Although the Ximen family is huge and lush, But dozens of people, the loss of dozens of clansmen will also shake the foundation, and the position of the emperor will be threatened."

Duanmu Yawang guessed: "So, the Ximen family don't want to do it?"

"right."

The main party nodded, "Of course the Ximen family was unwilling to do it. At that time, many large families were unwilling to do it. Only some families that had just been established for a year or two with a weak foundation, chose the victims and sacrificed them, and at the same time abolished the kingship. , Self-degrading, etc."

Ye Nongying was nervous, and hurriedly asked, "What about the result? What about the result?"

"The result is that the family that sacrificed sacrifices was selected in the past, and the year passed safely. And the family that did not fulfill the punishment, such as the Simon family, in the past, each family continued to die in various ways, and, dead The number of people is double the number of "one sacrifice a year"!"

As soon as these words fell, Duanmu Yawang and Ye Nongying took a breath, "Doubled?"

This is also terrible!

"Yes."

Fang Zhushang nodded and said: "The Ximen family was particularly miserable at the time, and nearly a hundred of the Ximen family died in almost a year."

"So many?" Ye Nongying exclaimed, "A hundred clansmen, it's too big, isn't this different from extermination?"

"Yes." Fang Zhu nodded: "The life expectancy of people exiled on the street is not long, and the number of families is definitely not comparable to that of outsiders. Hundreds of people are already very big families. However, it is said that the Ximen family still It really should have been annihilated, because if the number of people is doubled, all the members of the Ximen family should die."

"Yeah, don't Ximen still have Ximen Yingyue and Ximen Yuntu now?"

"Yes, Ximen's house is still alive, so I'm lucky." Fang Lanzhou drank a sip of tea and said, "I don't know why, Ximen Yuntu didn't die, and he just survived, but one eye suddenly disappeared. "

Duanmu Yawang has been curious about why Ximen Yuntu is wearing a blindfold, but he didn't think it was because of this.

She asked again: "Isn't it just enough people, how did Ximen Yingyue survive?"

"She is not counted, because Empress Simon had just been pregnant with her at the time, and she hadn't been born yet."

"So that's the case." If Ximen Yuntu died at that time, then, the entire Ximen family, it is estimated that there is really only one Ximen Yingyue left!

After listening to this, Ye Nong Ying couldn't help sighing: "This exile festival, thinking about it, is really terrible, so terrible, how can you call it festival? I guess no one likes such a festival in Exile Street, right?"

Fang Zhushang gave a wry smile, "Actually, people born in the exile street are unfortunate, and there is no way to compare with your outsiders. However, this exile festival, for people in the lower middle district, the exile festival is actually There is nothing scary. They have nothing to worry about during the Exile Festival, because they were born in the lower middle district and it is already a punishment."

Well, after he had a meal, he said: "The Exile Festival is actually aimed at people from the high regions and polar regions, especially the nobles. Many people die every year because of the Exile Festival."

"So the Exile Festival, for you, is actually very scary, so you never tell Miss Fang too much about the Exile Festival?"

"right."

Fang Zhushang sighed: "The more you know, the more afraid you will be, and the more sad you will be. After all, perhaps if you are not careful, the people around her will die because of exile."
