Chapter 234

Soon after, even Chengming woke up, touched the bedside, didn't see Liu Ruyan, put on his clothes and hurried downstairs.

When I went downstairs, I saw that Liu Ruyan and Chen miner had already sat at the same table and started eating. So many people came to the Inn at once, and the waiter was happy. Although the breakfast was not as good as that in the palace, it was well prepared. At this time, Liu Ruyan was eating with relish.

"Young master, wake up! Come on!" Liu Ruyan waved his hand and shouted when he saw Lian Chengming. "Look, young master is sleeping so well, my concubine... I didn't shout. Who knows that I woke up so soon and was in time to have breakfast together."

Lian Chengming walked slowly down the stairs and ate with a calm voice. Liu Ruyan's voice fell on Lian Chengming's ear. It was really nice to hear. He couldn't help pursing his lips and smiling.

"What's the matter outside? Why is it so noisy?" he saw so many people running in a hurry in the street early in the morning. Lian Chengming couldn't help asking in doubt, and his eyebrows were habitually frowned.

When the waiter brought the wine up, he smiled and replied, "you guys are from other places. This is our once-in-three-year sacrifice ceremony for mountain gods. It's a traditional folk custom in our town. It's lively at the official beginning. It's also a coincidence to come here. You can come and have a look if you are interested."

"To tell you the truth, I have prepared breakfast for my guests. I don't want to miss it. I want to pass!"

Looking at the waiter's interest, Liu Ruyan also became interested. He turned his head and looked at lianchengming. Fifteen was also looking eagerly. A pair of small hands grabbed lianchengming's sleeves and asked softly in a low voice: "brother Huang, can you go and have a look together?"

"Eat early first..." Lian Chengming replied helplessly, and then said in a deep voice: "don't call brother Huang outside. I've told you many times."

"Yes, I know, brother!"

Fifteen sweet shouted, and even the City Ming seemed like a bunch of ordinary brothers and sisters. There was no sense of conflict at all. Liu Ruyan was also happy when he looked at it.

After breakfast, Lian Chengming pointed out several people, took a small team of bodyguards and followed the waiter to the back mountain.

There are many mountains in this area. Unexpectedly, there is a small mountain behind the city. However, it was late. When Liu Ruyan arrived, many people were surrounded on the mountain, and the ceremony was ready to begin. The local people knelt on the ground.

Liu Ruyan, they must not kneel, so they didn't come forward again. They just stood halfway up the mountain and looked at the people not far away.

At first, Liu Ruyan didn't know what he was going to do. He just looked at the people kneeling down and revealed a long built platform. There was an old man standing on the platform. Looking at his age, Liu Ruyan thought that if he was right, he should be a person of great prestige in this town.

The old man was preparing for the sacrificial ceremony. There was a shelf on the high platform, which looked like a post tied when interrogating prisoners in the dungeon.

Liu Ruyan was startled when she saw the column. She was very afraid of these things.

Not far from the high platform, a middle-aged man who looked rather strong supported a middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman's eyes were red. In front of her stood a girl of just young age. Liu Ruyan looked at her, but she was only about 15 or 16 years old and was about to get married.

They didn't know what they said, so the woman's eyes began to shed tears, and the man beside her looked sad.

The woman held the girl's hand tightly and didn't want to loosen it. However, Xu was urged by the people around her. The woman still wiped her tears. The woman in front of her waved her hand and didn't know what she told.

And he saw that the woman was led by several people to the high platform.

Suddenly, the voice of shaking the sky came from below. I saw that the people raised their heads at this time, but they were still kneeling, opened their hands to the sky, and shouted loudly in their mouth. They didn't know what they were talking about. Liu Ruyan didn't understand.

"This is..." Liu Ruyan could not help but click in his heart and looked at Lian Chengming. Lian Chengming held Liu Ruyan's hand and motioned Liu Ruyan not to worry. Let's have a look first.

Even Chengming has doubts in his heart. Does this so-called sacrifice to mountain gods want to use people as sacrifices?

At this time, Qin Jiayan is standing behind them. As long as Lian Chengming gives an order, the bodyguards behind him will act immediately.

Although the girl stumbled all the way, she was finally tied to the shelf. She saw that firewood had been put under the woman's feet. The firewood had been piled round and round. A man held a torch in his hand and was about to light a fire.

Lian Chengming made a look at Qin Jiayan. Qin Jiayan said loudly, "stop --"

As soon as the voice fell, he rushed up the mountain with people.

The people on the mountain obviously didn't expect such a stubble. Qin Jiayan was very skilled. He flew up while the people were stunned. His lightness skill fell on the woman's side, cut off the rope binding the woman with a sword and took the woman with him.

At this time, the people had returned to God. The old man on the high platform angrily pointed to Qin Jiayan and said, "you, who are you? If you dare to destroy the sacrificial ceremony of the mountain god, you will be damned by heaven!"

Qin Jiayan turned to the old man and said with a cold smile, "you should be punished by heaven if you use living people as sacrifices."

But the woman in Qin Jiayan's arms struggled at this time, pushing Qin Jiayan and struggling: "what are you doing, young master? Let me go!"

Qin Jiayan didn't think much about the woman's unusual behavior. He just thought that the woman didn't want to implicate Qin Jiayan, so he comforted her: "don't panic, girl. I'm not alone. You'll be fine."

But the people around him have gathered around. Lianchengming didn't bring many people with them. At this time, the people are all bent on catching their troublemakers, but lianchengming lost.

Liu Ruyan held lianchengming's hand tightly and looked worried. Although these guards were well-trained in the Imperial Palace, they were outnumbered after all. If they wanted to fight, they must have no advantage.

The woman in Qin Jiayan's arms broke away from Qin Jiayan and stepped on Qin Jiayan, "who are you and why do you want to destroy the sacrificial ceremony of the mountain god!"

Then the woman quickly retreated and ran to the crowd of the people. Her parents soon welcomed her and saw that her daughter was safe, but the expression on the woman's face didn't know whether it was joy or anger. Looking at lianchengming, they all had a slight sense of disgust.
