C4494 In the Middle of the Mountain(part Ii)

Gu Qingming and the silver-armored general could only shake their heads. Their eyes once again focused on Lin Hao.2

Even though his heart was filled with doubts and doubts, he still couldn't detect anyone or the Aura of the Demonic Beast. It was as if this was really just an ordinary natural disaster.

Helpless, Lin Hao could only shake his head and look down the mountain.

His Highness the Crown Prince was leading the million soldiers and slowly walking over. Before they could get close, a few of the nobles among them shouted loudly, "Emperor! Is there anything unusual?!"

"It's fine!" The Imperial Emperor also replied loudly, "It's just that the waterfall's current is too large, breaking through the mountain's obstruction, which is why there is a mudslide. Let's continue forward!"

When he heard this, Lin Hao frowned and softly advised, "Imperial Emperor, I feel that this matter is a trap. Just in case, can we delay the completion of the Mountain and River Sacrificial Ceremony Codex today?"

At this time, the patriarch of the Sicheng Family had already taken the lead to fly to the side of a few people. When he heard Lin Hao's words, his expression suddenly became gloomy.

"You foreign brat, this place has the Imperial Emperor Crown Prince, Great Ru. We have an official patriarch here. How can you speak? " Patriarch Sicheng pointed at Lin Hao and scolded him, "The Imperial Emperor has already said the word 'no harm'. Could it be that you are deaf? Can't you hear me?! "

What disappointed him was that Lin Hao did not reply. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the Imperial Emperor with a rare look of worry on his face.

"He's so arrogant, yet he's short-sighted and boastful!" Looking at his appearance, Patriarch Sicheng became even more furious. He wished that he could slap Lin Hao's face and let him know the order of growing up. The old man respected him, "I think you should drag him out to watch the show, so that you can know what the word 'rules' means!"

"Shut up." The Imperial Emperor swung the horsewhip in his hand and immediately berated.

"Did you hear that!?" Patriarch Sicheng was even more pleased with himself. However, before he could say anything else, the Imperial Emperor swung the horsewhip in his hand once more, smashing it down onto his butt.

Caught off guard, the old man directly covered his butt and jumped up, and then he covered his mouth in embarrassment and didn't dare speak any more. He cupped his fists towards the Imperial Monarch and limped a few steps back.

Lin Hao couldn't laugh at such a funny scene.

If it was really as he had thought, and there were people who had done this before, then the Mountain and River Sacrificial Ceremony this time was simply giving heads to the people in the dark. It was an inadvisable action.

Not only that, but it also meant that the originally peaceful continent would once again be plunged into a bloodbath. Countless innocent civilians would once again be lost because of the flames of war.

That was the scene that Lin Hao was most unwilling to see.

So this time, he would rather not fight for it and retreat to see the situation clearly before making preparations.

However, this was the Canglan Empire after all. The person in front of him was the Imperial Emperor here. The millions of soldiers behind him would not listen to his orders.

"Lin Hao, I understand your concerns." The Imperial Emperor finally spoke. He even got off his horse and stood face to face with Lin Hao, staring into his eyes.

"But you have to understand that the Mountain and River Sacrificial Ceremony is no ordinary offering. It is a tradition of our dynasty. It is a festival that has existed since ancient times until now. Countless people are waiting for this day. " His voice was low and deep, and he held Lin Hao's shoulder with a serious expression.

"These soldiers have made countless decisions for this day. The fights, banquets, and celebrations are all for the sake of showing the strength of our Canglan Empire."

"If I withdraw now, what will the world say?"
