Applaud for Happiness

It has been a month since Shen Qi replaced the identity of the seventh prince. He was locked up on the high tower of the castle, and two rows of soldiers guarded the gate day and night to prevent him from escaping.

Shen Qi didn't intend to run away at first, he first stayed for a week honestly, then as if he had figured it out, he proposed to have a talk with the king.

Maybe there was still a little bit of guilt, when the king came to see him, Shen Qi agreed to sacrifice, promised not to resist, and half played emotional cards and half threats, and made three demands.

The first one, of course, was about the sixth princess. He had already inquired about it. The sixth princess did not die, but broke a leg and was rescued.He asked the king to go to the holy envoy to heal the leg of the sixth princess, and marry her off within half a month.

The marriage of the sixth princess was decided by the stepmother. The stepmother did not shy away from her dislike of the children left behind by the previous queen, even though they were also her niece and nephew. The marriages of the first five princesses were arranged by the former queen. Only the sixth princess, because she died of dystocia in giving birth to the seventh prince, did not take care of it.

The stepmother intended to humiliate the sixth princess, and appointed her a son of a down-and-out nobleman. Unexpectedly, many years later, this earl's son was valued by a knight of a high country and accepted as his disciple. When the news came back, the stepmother became very angry, and In the past two years, they have been discussing about marrying the ninth princess instead of the sixth princess.

Unavoidable that Ye Chang had many dreams, and Shen Qi didn't care about waiting for the sixth princess to reach sixteen years of age, so she had to marry her off as soon as possible, otherwise, she would still be able to live once he left?

As for the fiancé, the distance is too far away, there are no planes or trains, so by the time he receives the news and rushes back, it may be too late.

Shen Qi believed that Princess Six had sent a message to that fiancé, half a month was enough for him to react to the news.

The second thing, Shen Qi asked his two knights to follow him when he sacrificed.

The two knights of the Seventh Prince were orphans rescued by the former queen's kindness in the past. She funded and raised them. The queen's entrustment before her death, her loyalty to him is beyond doubt.

The two were arrested because the seventh prince was about to be sacrificed. If Shen Qi didn't take them away, they might suffer the same disaster as the sixth princess once he left.

So no matter what, he had to take the two of them away together, even if the sacrifice was over, he would let them find another way to go to another country.

The first thing the king agreed to was straightforward, but the second thing he hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed under Shen Qi's insinuating beating.

After the first two important things are done, the third thing is much easier. Shen Qi only proposed that during his detention, his basic needs can be met, especially in terms of food, clothing and housing. He wants the best treatment and understands the world. This is how the books were brought in.

Seeing that he would not cry or make trouble, the king readily agreed to this, and even pretended to express his father-son affection.

So the next day when Shen Qi saw the knight picking up the sixth princess through the small window of the tower, the sacrifice began.

Early in the morning, Shen Qi was surrounded by a group of servants who helped him wash from head to toe, put on a pure white robe and a pure white garland, without shoes, and directly carried him to the hall of the castle in a soft sedan chair.

Shen Qi felt that if he had two more wings on his back, he could pretend to be an angel.

It is obvious that the lives of living people are used as sacrifices, but they dress up as if they are going to enter the kingdom of heaven.

On the throne in the hall, the king and his stepmother sat upright, the eighth prince William, the ninth princess and ten princesses stood at the bottom, and several important ministers lined up in sequence.

"Oh, my child..." The king looked sad, as if he had forgotten that he had allowed the Seventh Prince to sacrifice, and looked at Shen Qi lovingly and sadly, "The appearance of you when you were born is still in front of my eyes. When you grow up to be such a handsome boy, son, don’t resent your father, for the people, for San Carlos, you will be remembered by everyone, you are the glory of the royal family.”

Shen Qi was expressionless, and rolled her eyes in her heart, why didn't William come with such an honor?Or you can do it yourself.

The stepmother held an ivory fan and smiled softly, but she did not hide her viciousness and pride: "Your Majesty, don't be sad, the Seventh Prince was born so handsome, and Lord Dragon God will love him very much. Seeing His Majesty sad, my heart aches." It's all going to shatter."

The king immediately put away his sad expression, and looked at the stepmother affectionately. The stepmother immediately gave the king a wink, and the king's breathing was two points rough.

All the ministers were not surprised, they drooped their eyelids and pretended not to see anything.

Shen Qi didn't have the memory of the seventh prince, and it was the first time he saw the king and his stepmother together, he couldn't help sighing, thanks to the strict hierarchy in this world, otherwise there would be such a king and queen, it would be almost impossible for this country to be passed down to the present. It's a miracle.

Looking at the prince and princess next to him, William looked gloating, and looked at Shen Qi with extremely smug eyes, Princess Ninth raised her chin high, prouder than a peacock, she didn't bother to look at Shen Qi at all, she glanced contemptuously and then retracted The sight, as if seeing something dirty, made her avoid it.

The tenth princess was young, she lowered her head and played with the toy in her hand, and she became impatient from time to time, as if she didn't want to stay here at all.

This should be placed in the ancient court of the East, and if these few can survive safely, he will be considered a loser.

After a fruitless conversation ended, Shen Qi was carried away by the soft sedan again, this time walking for nearly half a day, the destination was the seaside.

There was a small accident on the way.

Six princesses appeared.

She was sitting on the carriage, lying on the edge of the window, tears all over her face, struggling to get down, but was held back by her fiancé: "Ao Gu, Ao Gu..."

Shen Qi has a bit of a headache, the real seventh prince is dead, he can help him solve the future problems one by one out of morality, but he can't cut off the relationship.

The guards lined up to block his soft sedan, staring at the carriage vigilantly, not daring to do anything directly due to his fiancé's status.

Shen Qi flicked the beautifully dyed nails, who knew that this sacrifice actually had to dye the nails, not only the fingernails, but even the toenails were dyed by him, the corners of his eyes twitched.

He thought for a while, and said: "Sister, you don't have to worry about me, I have already figured it out, you live a good life in the future, maybe we will see each other again, I won't blame you, and you don't blame yourself, you must live well happiness."

This is his sincere words. The sixth princess is a good girl, gentle and kind. She is willing to sacrifice her life for her younger brother. There is a time to see you again.

The sixth princess burst into tears: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Shen Qi shook her head, not blaming him, and then looked at the fiancé: "I entrusted my sister to you."

The fiancé seemed to be a very reliable person, and nodded solemnly: "I will."

After this episode, Shen Qi was not in a good mood, and when he got to the place and saw the dense crowd, his mood was even worse.

This is a wide sea area with a long coastline, and the beach is full of people who come to celebrate.

Yes, congratulations.

For them, sacrifice was not cruel, but cause for celebration.

Men, women, young and old, even children, everyone had joyful smiles on their faces, shouting the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Prince, as if they were not sending him to die, but welcoming him along the way, even putting fruit and food on his head Passed it to him enthusiastically.

Shen Qi felt shuddering.

A middle-aged man dressed in red with the appearance of a bishop came over, with benevolent brows and compassionate eyes. He stretched out his hand and placed it on top of Shen Qi's head, and suddenly a burst of white light enveloped Shen Qi: "Son, don't be afraid, the God of Light will protect you."

It's light magic, something like healing.

Shen Qi quickly made a judgment, but with his keen perception, he felt a strong sense of repulsion towards the bishop. Although he didn't seem to show anything wrong, Shen Qi just felt that something was wrong. Let's check with him these days From the information that came out, I vaguely came to a conclusion in my heart.

The soft white light enveloped him, and it didn't completely dissipate, making Shen Qi more like an angel, and the civilians around him had already knelt down and kowtowed to him one after another.

The bishop seemed very satisfied with the situation. He looked at Shen Qi more kindly, and helped him straighten his clothes: "Son, go, move forward bravely, the God of Light will be proud of you."

Shen Qi squinted his eyes, was lifted by the soft sedan chair, walked towards the shore, and the moment he turned his back on the bishop, he flicked the lapel he had touched. Damn, if this girl wasn't a pervert, he would have jumped into the sea live!

The bearers carried him into the sea, someone pulled over the prepared boat, with a soft bed in the middle, surrounded by flowers and fruits, and then helped Shen Qi to lie on it.

According to the custom in the past, sailors with strong sailing skills will be sent to the deep sea with a boat, and then the sailors will return and let him drift deeper, waiting for the dragon to receive him.

This time, Shen Qi wanted to take the two knights away, so they set up a boat and pulled his boat to the deep sea.

Three wooden boats, two large, one small, and three sailed towards the deep sea. The people along the coast cheered and sang, obviously wanting to celebrate.

Shen Qi squinted her eyes and listened, and when she was sure that she could not hear the slightest sound, she immediately sat up and looked back, as expected, she could no longer see the coast.

He lifted up his robe, and took out two shoes from his waist, which he hid, there was still a tough battle to be fought, how could he do without shoes.

While putting on his shoes, he said to the surprised eyes of the two knights on the left and right: "Morrie, York, now I give you two choices, one, take the fruit on my boat, set the boat and row westward, in about a day, you can row Get out of the range of San Carlos, you can find any empire to settle down at that time, and never come back, two, stay and prepare to fight with me, after that, maybe for a long time, we will stay on the desert island."

Morrie and York almost agreed: "We choose two, and we will follow His Highness to the death."

"Very good." Shen Qi nodded, stood up, tore off the cumbersome robe, changed it into simple long-sleeved trousers, and tied a bow at the waist with great interest, and picked up a piece of clothing on the boat by the way. A fiery red flower pinned to a bow.

He reached out and took the short sword from York, and felt the weight of the sword flower, and said with satisfaction: "Then no matter what you see for a while, don't make a fuss, guard the flower boat, and don't let anyone get close."

Startled by his series of actions, Morrie and York looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Shh-"

When he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Shen Qi, who lay down again with a whoosh, and winked at the two of them: "Pretend nothing happened, keep paddling."

While they were in amazement, they saw a ship approaching in the distance, a large ship at least ten meters in length, and the ship was moving very fast. When they got close, they saw a row of people dressed as pirates standing on it, each holding a With a long sword and a big knife, he stared at them maliciously.

Suddenly frightened.

"Keep paddling!"

Shen Qi gave a low snort, closed his eyes and listened to the noise coming from the opposite side, and judged the distance. When the two boats were five meters apart, he slapped the side of the boat, and he flew into the air, flying to the side of the opposite boat in the blink of an eye. The dagger twirled in his hand, instantly killing three people.

Then, under the shocked eyes of the crowd, he lightly tapped the water, and flew into the air again, and three lives were lost.

Be silly, I know martial arts!

The author has something to say: well, the giant dragon will appear in the next chapter, and it is guaranteed to be cool and aggressive, and the sacrifice or something has nothing to do with the attack, so as usual, the Church, which has always been the villain in Western Fantasy, has to take the blame.
