Chapter 166 [Successfully Borrowing Rain]

This day.

The people and civil and military officials of the entire Kyoto all heard the roar in the sky.

resounded throughout the sky.

"Thunder in a dry land, is this really possible in the world?"

Listening to the deafening sound, many people have begun to doubt their own ears.

"The sun in the sky is so hot that it makes my forehead burn, and where does the thunder come from?"

Many people looked up at the sky with expressions of surprise on their faces.

"Dad, could it be that this prince is really the reincarnation of the Rain God?" Guo Baokun rubbed his ears and looked up at the sky.

The Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi remained silent for a long time.

He had never seen anything like this in his decades of life.

There was no breeze in the sky, and not a single dark cloud in the sky, but there were bursts of thunder.

It's really weird!

Royal Villa.

Li Chengqian sat in the pavilion eating fruit and looking at the cannon not far away.

"His Royal Highness."

Lin Wan'er and Ye Ling'er stood aside, looking a little restrained.

Especially Ye Ling'er, this heroic female hero in the martial arts world, but at this moment, she did not have that carefree attitude.

"Please sit down." Li Chengqian gestured to the two of them to just sit back and relax.

"Your Highness, Ling'er has always wanted to join the Massacre Army. You see..." Lin Wan'er took the initiative to bring up the matter.

After all, I had promised Ye Ling'er before, so I naturally had to take it more seriously.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian glanced at Ye Ling'er.

She was dressed in a red martial arts costume, and her eyes were a little evasive and restrained.

"Why do you want to join the Human Slaughter Army?"

Li Chengqian's words stumped Ye Ling'er.

She wanted to join the Massacre Army not to defend her country, but...

However, how could such a reason be said in front of the prince?

Seeing that she was hesitant and had difficulty speaking, Li Chengqian smiled casually.

"Want to escape the fate of being imprisoned as a woman?"

"Yes!"

This simple sentence touched Ye Ling'er's heart directly.

I responded subconsciously.

But I regretted it as soon as I said it.

With such reasons, it would be difficult to join the massacre army.

However, Li Chengqian's next words surprised her.

“Once you join the Human-Slaughtering Army, your fate of imprisonment will be changed, but you must also be clear about one crucial thing.

That is, your life is no longer your life.

There is always the possibility of death.”

Li Chengqian's words did not mean to scare her at all.

All the missions carried out by the Human Slaughter Army are extremely dangerous.

Each mission could be the last one.

"I understand. It takes a thousand days to train soldiers and only a moment to deploy them." Ye Ling'er straightened her chest.

She grew up in a family of generals, so she naturally understood these principles.

“Also, from the moment you entered the Human-Slaughtering Army, you are no longer the eldest daughter of the Ye family.

This identity will be completely abandoned, and you will not receive any special treatment at all. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Ye Ling'er's answer was very powerful.

It seemed that she had planned to join the Massacre Army a long time ago and had been working hard for it for a long time.

With Ye Linger's seventh-grade martial arts level, it was natural for her to join the Human Slaughter Army.

However, some of her spoiled temper and habits can only be eliminated through training in the army.

"You mean, I can join the Massacre Army?" Ye Ling'er stood up excitedly.

"Report to the military camp tomorrow. You don't have to worry about the Ye family."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

She was so excited that she finally got what she wanted. She hugged Lin Wan'er and kissed her twice.

And it's a direct kiss on the lips.

This was the first time that Li Chengqian had seen such a scene, and he couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the eldest lady of the Ye family.

I also have a deeper understanding of the friendship between the two women.

The "thunder" in the sky continued until dark, and then it showed signs of stopping. However, there was still no rain falling from the sky.

This also caused many people to start to wonder.

"The thunder has stopped, but there is no rain. Could it be that my prayer for rain from heaven has failed?"

"possible."

"Borrowing rain from the sky sounds very mysterious and unbelievable."

"See, that's what I said. This is simply impossible, but you guys just don't believe it."

At this time, many people have begun to come forward to express their previous disapproval.

The facts before them seem to prove their judgment.

It is simply impossible to ask for rain from the sky.

Of course, most of those who said these words were civil and military officials in the court.

For ordinary people, there are very few such words, but more of a silent disappointment.

The severe drought in Kyoto did not have much impact on the officials who received salaries for their living.

The ones who really suffer are the ordinary people at the bottom of society.

The crops in the fields were basically destroyed due to the severe drought.

The whole family’s food supply for this year is about to be completely gone, and I’m very anxious.

Therefore, when the people heard that Crown Prince Li Chengqian could ask for rain from heaven to relieve the severe drought in Kyoto, they could only place all their hopes on him.

In addition, due to many things that happened over the years, Li Chengqian has a very high prestige among the people.

Asking for rain from the sky is such an absurd thing that no one else, no matter how ignorant, would believe it.

But that person was Li Chengqian.

That's why they believe in him unconditionally.

Go pray to him.

But now, it was gradually getting dark.

But there is still no sign of rain.

Countless people have begun to feel lost.

There are quite a few people who sigh.

"Did His Royal Highness fail in his attempt to ask for rain from heaven?" a little child said.

As soon as he finished speaking, his father slapped him on the buttocks and taught him a lesson:

"Don't ever say such outrageous words again!

We all know how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done for us ordinary people over the years.

Even if we really can't borrow the rain, we shouldn't complain to him, understand!"

"I know, Dad." the child replied.

The old farmer stood in the field, looking at the crops that were gradually turning yellow, and looked up at the sky with a last glimmer of hope.

"got windy!"

The old farmer suddenly shouted happily.

"got windy!"

At the same time, throughout Kyoto, many people began to run wildly with joy.

Stretch your hands towards the sky, and the breeze will blow across your face and palms, very noticeable.

The wind is getting stronger.

Throughout Kyoto, everyone began to look forward to it.

The heat in the sky gradually dissipated under the strong wind.

Children were running wildly in the streets and alleys, shouting "The wind is blowing".

The top of the mountain outside the imperial study.

Emperor Qing was wearing loose robes.

The robe fluttered in the strong wind.

He stretched out his hands to test the strength of the wind.

"What a trick!"

The emperor and grand master couldn't help but sigh sincerely at this moment.

Dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky.

The wind is getting stronger!
It's getting dark too.

But finally, a heavy rain came down.

"It's raining!"

"It's raining!"

The whole of Kyoto was in an uproar.
