Nunu lay on Yang Yuhuan's knees and licked her paws with her pink tongue.
Yang Yuhuan stroked Nunu's head and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "When we arrive, Xiao Yun's ritual will be over."
"Yes, the ritual will be over soon. It's cold here. I'm not used to living in Kong City. "Su Xiaoxiao looked out of the window with worry in her eyes.
"If you want to go back to Kong City, I can ask Xiao Yun to hire a boat to send you back," Yang Yuhuan said.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and smiled sweetly at Yang Yuhuan. "I don't have any relatives in Kong City. I'm tired of living there. Although it's cold, it's warm when I'm with you. "
"That mouth of yours can even bring a dead person back to life." Yang Yuhuan smiled. "Fortunately, I have you. Hongzhuang can't come here. Only you can accompany me to relieve my boredom."
Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled. "I used to relieve boredom, but now it's suffocating. Who would have thought that your zither skills would improve so quickly. I learned the zither seven or eight years earlier than you, but now I'm just barely compatible with you. Maybe in a few years, you'll be able to play the zither with Young Master Fang and help him kill enemies on the battlefield. "
Yang Yuhuan said, "It's not that simple. When I reach the second level, I can only increase the power of his war songs by 10%. When I reach the third level, it's only 40%. When I reach the fourth level, I can help him double the power of his war songs. How can I compare to Zhuo Wenjun? It's too difficult to reach the fourth level. "
Su Xiaoxiao comforted her. "Sister Yuhuan, don't say such discouraging words. We talked to Young Master Fang a few days ago. He'll find a way to let the Great Confucian teach you the zither. With your talent, you can reach the third level. "
"But it's too difficult to reach the fourth level. It's said that Zhuo Wenjun is the only woman who has reached the fourth level. She reached it with the help of Half-saint Sima Xiangru, "Yang Yuhuan said.
"Zhuo Wenjun has Sima Xiangru, but you have Young Master Fang. Maybe in a few decades, when Young Master becomes a saint, you can reach the fourth level with a finger. Your name will go down in history. "
"Nonsense!" Yang Yuhuan was amused by Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, "It's not nonsense. The other day, Young Master Fang even said that the human race was lacking in talent. If there was enough talent, women could also participate in the imperial examinations! Only when women participate in the imperial examinations will the human race truly prosper, the true great era. "
Yang Yuhuan said, "At that time, I didn't say anything. I didn't want Little Yun to think that I was opposing him. But according to the records in the book, the revival of the human race requires the barbarians to fight against the demon race. "
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "Young Master Fang didn't say it was wrong. "But based on Young Master Fang's words, I believe that Young Master Fang believes that only after the human race is revived will we have the right to work together with the Berserker Tribe to fight against the Demon Race. If we form an alliance with the Barbarian Tribe, it will be like asking a tiger for its skin, and there will be a lot of variables. "
"Yes, Xiao Yun's view is different from the book, but I believe in Xiao Yun."
Su Xiaoxiao looked out of the window. He said softly, "I'm also willing to believe in Young Master Fang. This was because Young Master Fang had said that in the future world, women could also take the imperial examinations, and women could also be armchair strategists. They could also be eloquent and have a sharp tongue. "
"That's right. If that day really comes, I'll be able to help Little Luck …"
Not long after. The carriage stopped, and the coachman said, "Madam, the officer in front said that the road is closed. He asked us to enter from the east gate of the County Wenyuan. "
Yang Yuhuan said, "Then let's enter from the east gate."
Soon, the carriage stopped again, and the coachman said, "We've arrived at the east gate."
Nunu took the lead and got off the carriage, followed by Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao.
The guards at the east gate immediately made way for them. Nunu jumped into the gate and ran forward.
Yang Yuhuan said with a smile, "This little fox, I'm afraid that she smelled Fang Yun's scent." After that, she held Su Xiaoxiao's hand and walked forward slowly. Her jade ornaments jingled, making her look like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
After Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao entered the gate, the private guards came in. First, there were two horse barbarians, followed by two Jinshi riding on dragon horses from the Demon Iron Cavalry.
A Jinshi in his forties was sitting on a tall dragon horse. When the horse's head passed through the door frame, he suddenly asked the guard, "Is the sacrifice over?"
The guard's eyes flashed with a touch of panic, and he said, "I don't know."
Suddenly, the Jinshi's expression changed slightly, and he shouted, "Stop! Madams, come back immediately! "
The other guard suddenly laughed and said, "It's too late! Someone, a woman broke into the County Wenyuan and destroyed the temple to sacrifice to heaven! "
Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao's body trembled, and they couldn't help but panic!
The incident of a woman breaking into the sacrifice to heaven happened decades ago. In the end, the Hall of Rites sentenced the woman to death!
Sacrificing to heaven was a first-class ceremony, more important than worshipping ancestors or even saints. After all, in the thought led by the Confucians, heaven was the supreme power, and Wenqu Star, the will of the world, and so on were just manifestations of heaven.
The destruction of the sacrifice to heaven was equal to disrespect heaven and the Holy Road. This was a violation of the etiquette that the Confucians couldn't tolerate.
In the past, there were too many people dancing for the officials, and it reached the level of the Emperor. Confucius said that if it could be tolerated, what else could be tolerated? Today, women broke into the temple to sacrifice to heaven, which was a thousand times more serious than the Eight-Feather Dance in the court!
The Jinshi's body shook, and he knew it was over. Once this case was brought to the Hall of Rites, the elders of the Hall of Rites would definitely use the original words of Confucius, "If it could be tolerated, what else could not be tolerated" to judge. If women could be tolerated, then there was nothing in the world that couldn't be tolerated!
Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao would be sentenced to death!
Once Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao were sentenced to death, all the private soldiers of the Barbarian Tribe would be executed, and the cavalrymen of the Human Tribe who escorted Yang Yuhuan would be exiled, and their future would be completely cut off!
After the guard shouted, all the cavalrymen of the Barbarian Tribe understood that this was the revenge of the Left Prime Minister. As long as Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao were killed, it was equal to indirectly attacking Fang Yun!
"Shameless!" The Jinshi's whole body was wrapped in black iron armor, and flames seemed to spurt out from the gaps of the armor.
Yang Yuhuan only felt that the spring here had turned into winter, and the biting cold shrouded the world.
Su Xiaoxiao panicked, and tightly grasped Yang Yuhuan's sleeves, and whispered, "Sister … Sister Yuhuan, what … what should we do? This is a fatal situation! This is a more serious violation of the etiquette than the Lei family! And you and I are women, not scholars, and the Hall of Rites will never forgive us! "
Yang Yuhuan took a deep breath, and said, "Calm down! Even if it is a fatal situation, I believe that Xiaoyun can save us! His Fang Zhenguo is Fang Xusheng! "
The Jinshi turned over from the horse, bowed his head to greet Yang Yuhuan, and then said, "I failed to protect Madam, and I deserve to die! When we arrive at the Notre-Dame, I am willing to use my life to replace Madam's! "
"No, Deputy General Ren, you can't do that! What's more, even if you're willing to exchange your life, the Notre-Dame may not agree. "
Su Xiaoxiao said, "We have just entered the temple and are still far away from the temple. We haven't seen anyone performing the ritual yet. We should still have a chance!"
Yang Yuhuan suddenly froze and exclaimed, "Where's Nuu? Where is Nuu? "
Su Xiaoxiao's face turned pale instantly.
"Nuu … I'm afraid she's already by Fang Yun's side."
All the human private soldiers felt their scalps go numb.
"Quickly call Nuu back!"
"It's already … too late."
