Looking at the thoughtful old man, Emperor Yu suppressed the shock in his heart. If this was true, there would be hope.

"Then I'll arrest them now."

Hahaha, without further ado, he had to lock up all those children before he could rest assured.

Zhenren shook his head slightly and said with his hands behind his back: "It's not the right time yet, and before we start, we need to prepare some things. If we catch them so early, wouldn't it be a waste of manpower?"

Even a child can carry some things on his back.

Emperor Yu quickly asked: "What else do you need?"

He'll get it done no matter what.

"A small altar, and some pots...the places where these people live must also be rebuilt to match the location and shape."

Just kidding, no matter what the sacrifice, there must be an altar to communicate with the heaven, earth, ghosts and gods.

Emperor Yu nodded, "If we prepare now, will it be too late before the time you mentioned?"

"Hurry up, you'll have time."

"What to do with these children?"

"How to deal with it? Let them work like everyone else. When they are done, arrest them. There will be nothing in their way."

Zhenren seems to be very reassured, with Yuhuang's methods, he will be able to convince these people properly.

After all, no one wants to die.

Anyway, he can't hide it. These people will also serve as prayers later, and will eventually share the sacrifices with him...

"Do you have many people?"

Emperor Yu thought for a moment and gave a rough figure.

"Well, then we will mark out two residential areas. Those civilians will live on Yang Street, and your people will live on Yin Street."

In this way, Yin and Yang can be balanced.

"As for the altar, it is built between Yin and Yang. A secret room is built under the altar, and the children must be locked under the altar for a period of time before the sacrifice begins."

Emperor Yu fully agreed with Zhenren's arrangement.

"Once those people accept the facts, they will do as you say immediately."

Zhenren nodded.

He doesn't have to worry about any of this, as long as he knows the outcome as he wishes in the end.

And the remaining people who want to follow him are just burdens on the road to success.

Next, Emperor Yu explained the matter to his confidants.

When the confidants knew that they only needed to pay the price with the lives of some children, and they only needed to eat some meat to get out alive, they were all excited and blushing.

"Your Majesty, I promise to complete the mission!" General Qin vowed to accept the order.

Emperor Yu nodded with satisfaction.

This task is not difficult and they are all confident.

the other side

Mrs. Zhao coaxed the baby girl who woke up, while Su Yuanshan and Su Buwei were grilling the fish seriously, while Su Buyou was on the side.

The newly arrived southerners had already become one with them.

After the two parties quickly exchanged information, they both sat there with sadness.

"Oh, there is no way to survive!"

"Haha, I'm still so young, am I waiting to die?"

In layman's terms, if you step back now, you will die of cold; if you move forward, you will die of heat...

Haha, God really doesn’t leave a way for people to survive.

But in the face of a cruel fate, everyone has nothing to do.

Just when everyone was preparing to grill fish to fill their stomachs, General Qin came over with several guards.

The people couldn't help but stop communicating and look at him.

Do you want to arrange the next work? After all, now they can only hide here.

General Qin observed the numb faces of the people, secretly discovering the madness that could be ignited at any time under their numbness, and then calmly told Zhenren's method with reason and emotion. "I know this is ridiculous, but there is nothing we can do. If we are not really desperate, alas..."

The silence speaks.

He is obviously a person with vested interests, but he still pretends to be a victim, which is disgusting.

General Qin originally thought that these words would cause a huge uproar in Xinran, and he was ready to suppress them forcefully first.

But who knew that the moment he finished speaking, there was silence all around.

"Sir, can you really predict the way out?"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd asked weakly.

In order to increase his credibility, General Qin replied without blinking: "Of course, Dayue Kingdom, do you know that the person who performed the sacrificial divination this time is the National Preceptor of Dayue Kingdom."

"He said it himself, as long as the sacrifice can be carried out smoothly, we will definitely be able to find a way to survive."

Although I know from the old man's words, the national teacher and the chastity are two completely different things.

But in order to achieve the purpose, there is no problem with appropriate exaggeration.

People with information can choose how much information they let others know.

General Qin thought to himself without changing his expression.

A way to survive...

The common people looked at each other in silence, and they all saw the dazzling light of hungry wolves in each other's eyes.

What the Imperial Master said was really tempting.

In silence, the children all sat there in confusion. They did not understand the words such as sacrifices and divination, but they understood one thing.

The people in front of me want to kill them and eat their heads.

"Wow wow wow! I don't want it! Dad, I'm afraid of the pain!"

After a brief trance, the children all cried loudly.

"Son, dad can't bear to let you go, but... there's nothing he can do!"

"Why are you crying? You know something!"

"Oh, it's a pity that I can't replace you with my body."

There are endless high-sounding excuses from adults. After going through so much, it is really not easy for them to feed a child.

It wouldn't be too bad if I could take this opportunity to get rid of the burden.

In this world...they have fulfilled their responsibilities anyway.

They kept making excuses for themselves, and there was no sadness or reluctance in their hearts, but a sense of relief.

This is not because they are cruel, it is their fate, and there is nothing they can do about it.

Of course not all parents are like this.

After going through a long experience of survival, some people have indescribable and strange thoughts towards children who are like a burden.

Naturally, some people have deeper feelings for children.

"My lord! My lord! Can I be the sacrifice instead of my daughter?"

"Yes, I have more meat, so it must be more useful than Ergouzi."

Several people knelt on the ground and begged.

It's good to find a way out, but they want to leave the chance of life to their children.

"Unfortunately, the Imperial Master emphasized that it must be a child." General Qin shook his head, "Otherwise, how could I bear it? I would have done it myself."

Everyone can say nice things, but only you know what you are thinking.

Seeing that someone was unwilling to sacrifice their child, the others' expressions changed.

"You can't be so selfish! You're not the only one who has children!"

"Besides, if it's gone, it can be regenerated. Isn't it worth exchanging their lives for the lives of so many of us?"

"Haha, let me tell you, don't try to escape, we will keep an eye on you."

The faces of those who begged turned pale, and they hugged their children tightly without saying a word. Their whole bodies felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and they were as cold as bones.
