The History of the Empress of the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 50 Whereabouts exposed
At this moment, Mo was wearing a torn and messy green dress, and his hair was in a mess. Who would have thought that such a beggar-like man was the third prince they were looking for so hard?

He snorted softly, and casually stroked a few strands of hair from his forehead, covering most of his face.

He went straight to the bulletin board near the city wall, stood at the outermost edge and looked at his portrait on the bulletin board, feeling a little cold in his heart.

The missing person notice had only been posted not long ago, so there were people all around, whispering about the content above.

"The third prince was lost with us, do you think he was really taken away by bandits?"

"How is it possible? The third prince is representing the emperor to go to Dong Mountain to sacrifice to the sky this time. You also saw that battle. There are so many imperial guards, do those bandits have the guts to capture people?"

"Then what do you say that someone has such great ability, and so many masters are completely wiped out, it is really terrible!"

"I think, the third prince is probably in danger this time."

……

There were endless discussions, and the gossiping crowd didn't even notice that there was a beggar behind them collecting information.

"Dong Mountain... offering sacrifices to heaven..."

Mo whispered, thoughtfully.

Just as Mo was about to leave, the voices of two more people floated over.

"Hey, since the beginning of summer, there hasn't been a drop of rain. I originally thought that praying for rain this time would bring rain to our Tianqi Kingdom, but I didn't expect this to happen? Do you think this is a revelation from the heavens?"

"I don't know if it's a revelation. I only know that even if the third prince can return safely, he probably won't be able to afford the crime of failing to pray for rain."

"Yes, a relative of mine is in the capital. I heard from him that the third prince was punished by heaven because of his favor and arrogance. The emperor has ordered the eldest prince to choose an auspicious day, and he will pray for rain again soon!"

"Who knows about the royal family? Who cares who is going to pray for rain, what we hope most is that God will take pity on us people, so hurry up and let it rain."

……

Mo's hands were tightly held together, and after listening to these people's conversations, he probably understood that even if he could return to the palace safely this time, he might not escape punishment.

Such important events as offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for rain were actually done like this by him. If the drought continues like this, he might become a sinner who endangered the people through the ages!

The voices in his ears became more and more noisy, Mo turned around and left quietly, but he never thought of the other side of the bulletin board, and several people followed quietly.

Although Mo lost his memory, his senses were still keen. As soon as he passed through an alley, he sensed that someone was following him behind him, so he quickly raised his breath at the corner, and hid himself under the eaves of a residential house, crawling motionless like a spider.

The four men in black came after them, but suddenly they were nowhere to be found at this fork in the road, and all of them looked dazed.

"Why are you missing?"

"It must be him. Although the clothes are dirty, they are definitely the best material in the palace."

"Master is right, he really is not dead."

"Let's go back and report quickly."

The four of them said one sentence, and left in a hurry with solemn expressions.

Seeing them walking away, Mo just jumped down, a cold look in his eyes made people feel chills.

It's just that he underestimated the opponent's strength too much. As soon as he walked out of the alley, he saw a group of people dressed in the same clothes as the previous four suddenly jump out of the street.

　The order of the two chapters posted yesterday seems to be out of order, and now I am reposting to correct it, please forgive me.
