Chapter 116 The Great Princess
The eldest princess?
Cen Mingche suddenly remembered the strange young beauty of the eldest princess.
Based on the existing clues, it is easy to guess what kind of agreement the eldest princess made with the wild god Jinghuan. The eldest princess enshrined her and she granted her eternal youth.
You can guess that, but where is the evidence?
Cen Mingche called the person who was responsible for tracking before and asked him to sort out the information and send it to him.
The eldest princess's house seems to like buying maids. She always buys some young girls and brings them back to her house to nurse them back to health.The maids next to her were not from the palace, but were trained by the princess herself. They were all fresh and beautiful.
Because if you just buy a young girl, regardless of appearance, it is actually very cheap, and you can buy one for a small fortune.No matter how many years of good food, drink, and clothing you take, your body will gradually grow and it won't be too ugly.
But there are always only people entering and no one leaving the princess' mansion, which is very strange.
No girl has ever been released, but some have been matched with servants in the mansion.
And married people generally don’t look pretty.
Where have all those beautiful girls gone?
Think again about what Jing Huan did before...
Think carefully.
"Every ten days and a half from the princess's residence, a black cloth carriage will come out and go to the village full of peach blossoms..."
"Tsk, tsk, I don't know what's in this car."
"And the eldest princess seems to particularly like peach blossoms?"
Cen Mingche immediately decided to live in this Zhuangzi.
Anyway, there is nothing urgent during this period. If it doesn't work, let Liu Qingyu wake up and deal with the family matters.
He really wanted to see what kind of tricks the princess's house and Jing Huan were doing together.
Just do it.
Fortunately, before he came, he specially brought the piece of paper covered with jade seal - the imperial pen personally wrote "I protect myself according to the decree, and all evil spirits will be dispersed". It was also framed into a small scroll, which can be stuffed into the sleeve pocket. .
At the same time, he rummaged through the system backpack to find some life-threatening drugs, intoxicants, and chronic poisons, and put them into the front compartments of the backpack to ensure that they could be taken out as soon as he reached out.
After that, I prepared my night clothes and waited for dark.
Because we came to Zhuangzi from the palace, even if we set off in the morning, we would arrive at noon.
The rice served at Zhuangzi was relatively rough, so Cen Mingche ate it and went up the mountain again.
Except for the peach trees in bloom, everything was normal on the mountain, and there was still unfinished snow on the surface.
But even in the twelfth month of winter, it can be seen that the mountainous area of Zhuangzi, where Princess Chang is located, is too lush with vegetation.
Yes, the vegetation dies in winter, but it’s not like it’s gone. The yellow leaves are still growing on the ground.
The contrast between that lushness and Zhuangzi on Cen Mingche's side is huge.
If you think about the supernatural, these plants and trees may have borrowed the "fairy energy" of the police fantasy.
If you think about it from a practical perspective, there are probably lots of bones under the vegetation.
The waiting time often passes slowly, and it finally gets dark.
In such a village, everyone goes to bed very early.
After all, lamp oil and candles cost money.
Or just go in the dark.
Better to sleep.
Cen Mingche wrapped her hair, put on her night clothes, and went out quietly.
The moonlight is very good tonight, and there are no walls around Zhuangzi. Even an open field has no cover. It is quite difficult to sneak past without being discovered.
However, the farmers were all asleep, and the only ones who could spot Cen Mingche were their dogs.
However, the house that the eldest princess lives in is on one side of Zhuangzi. It is made of green bricks and green tiles, and is exquisite and small. It is obviously where she lives when she comes to visit, and it is in sharp contrast to the houses of the farmers on Zhuangzi.
At this distance, Cen Mingche only had to make a detour to sneak in without disturbing the farmers' dogs.
Otherwise, all the dogs in Zhuangzi would bark, and the sleeping people would still be woken up from their beds.
This kind of house has a pattern. If you want to find the main house where the owner lives, you can find it according to the pattern.
Cen Mingche just quietly lay down on the roof of the main house.
There was another reason why I went straight to the main room - the lights were on in the main room.
Basically, only the owner lives in the main room, so since the lights are on in the main room, it means the owner is here and has not slept.
It really couldn't have come at a better time than by chance.
Because the house was built in Zhuangzi after all, even if the owner was the eldest princess, she only built a hanging mountain top that was slightly higher than ordinary houses.
However, it is not possible to see the inside by opening the tiles on the top of the hanging mountain. After all, the structure of the house is columns supporting beams. There are purlins on the beams, and rafters are used on the purlins, which are overlapped vertically and horizontally. The roof has two slopes, five ridges, and one main ridge. Four vertical ridges.
The tiles cover the rafters, and when they are lifted up, only the internal wooden structure can be seen.
But eavesdropping was enough.
"How many more people are left?"
"Back to Your Highness, there are six missing. Three of the ones sent before were unqualified."
The eldest princess clicked her tongue irritably.
"The requirements are really high...what do you want for these six poor ones?"
"The one who serves the plum blossom god in January is short of one, the one who serves the pear flower god in March is short of two, the one who serves the lotus flower god in June is short of one, the one who serves the chrysanthemum flower god in September is short of one, and the one who serves the hibiscus flower god in October is short of one. one."
"That means……"
"I want one born in January, two born in March, one each born in June, September, and October, and they all need to be virgins of fifteen or sixteen years old, with outstanding looks."
The eldest princess said "yes" with satisfaction.
"As long as you understand, go ahead and do it."
"Yes."
The maid withdrew and went quietly.
Cen Mingche followed without hesitation.
Judging by her clothing, this maid must be someone who is in high demand around the eldest princess. Just look at the fabric she wears, which is made of jacquard brocade, which most young ladies from small families cannot afford.
Listening to the conversation between this maid and the eldest princess, she must be a confidant, otherwise she would not have been entrusted with the "sacrifice" matter.
Yes, Cen Mingche had already determined in his heart that the person they were talking about was going to be a sacrifice to the wild god Jing Huan.
What else do you say about serving the God of Flowers?
If the God of Flowers is really the God of Flowers, does he need these mortal girls to serve him?
Serious gods are all organized in heaven, so any vacancies in positions are naturally recruited internally. How could they be open to open recruitment in the mortal world?
Are jobs in heaven more sought after than civil servants?Those who burn the stove for Taishang Laojun are not ordinary people!
Does the Twelve Flower Gods need maids who can recruit from outside?Are there not enough monsters in the garden that turn flowers and plants into spirits?
What a joke!
Usually it's just the spirits on the ground who use this excuse to deceive the priests.
However, this Jinghuan is no longer satisfied with some incense sacrifices, but wants human flesh and blood and soul.
Cen Mingche took care of him last time, but it seems he hasn't been able to eradicate the problem.
