Chapter 1037 Sacrifice

These soldiers were all wearing special knives, and judging from their aura, one could tell at a glance that they were Lin Yue's personal guards.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man in red robe turned pale. He knew that Lin Yue was going to be serious this time.

"Nephew! You misunderstood uncle. It was not uncle who leaked those things..."

The middle-aged man in the red robe shouted to Lin Yue hurriedly, his voice very nervous.

As a member of the royal family, he naturally knew what the next process would be and what he would face.

Hearing the red-robed middle-aged man's explanation, Lin Yue smiled coldly and ignored him.

Under the horrified gaze of the middle-aged man in the red robe, he was surrounded by the group of guards, and one of the soldiers stood behind him.

Hearing the sound of the blade being pulled out, the middle-aged man in red robe broke out in a cold sweat and quickly looked at Lin Yue.

"I admit my mistake! I was possessed by a demon and had the news spread. Please forgive me this time. I won't do it again!"

After hearing his words, the ministers in Fengqiu Garden began to discuss.

"It's really despicable that he did it!"

"I didn't expect the prince to be such a person. Fortunately, the emperor had a sharp eye and caught him."

"But even if we catch the person who leaked the information, this matter can't be suppressed..."

Lin Yue looked at the middle-aged man in red robe and said quietly, "I didn't expect you to admit it. Indeed, killing you will not help in the current situation outside."

Hearing Lin Yue's words, the middle-aged man in the red robe showed a hint of joy on his face, but the next moment his face turned extremely pale.

"But keeping you here will only bring trouble. Please just die."

There was a chill in Lin Yue's eyes as he spoke calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword that had been held behind the middle-aged man in the red robe suddenly fell down.

Swish, swish, swish!

With a sound of being cut, the head of the middle-aged man in red robe fell into the cloth bag that had been prepared in advance.

His headless body was placed on the ground with the support of several soldiers nearby.

Seeing that the prince was dead, many ministers in Fengqiu Garden thought that the highlight of the day was over and what would follow would be an ordinary sacrifice.

However, Lin Yue's next sentence made everyone look surprised.

"I have found a cure for the disease in the South, and soon the chaos will end."

Lin Yue's voice attracted everyone's attention.

“What… there is actually a solution!”

"Did those doctors find a cure?"

"God bless our Dragon Flame Empire..."

Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Lin Yue's expression remained unchanged. He just said calmly, "Don't guess randomly. I want to use this sacrifice to calm down the chaos this time."

Suddenly, the ministers’ puzzled voices were heard throughout Fengqiu Garden.

Sacrifice?

Although the sacrifice has been passed down from a long time ago, many people believe in it.

But as important officials of the imperial court, they naturally knew that sacrifices had no practical effect.

The emperor has never been keen on this kind of thing in the past, what happened this time?

After hearing this, some ministers couldn't help but want to give Lin Yue some advice.

But before they could say anything, Lin Yue had already waved his hand.

"I have made my decision. No need to say more."

After saying that, Lin Yue walked towards the altar in Fengqiu Garden.

The old man with half white hair walked in front of the ministers and said seriously, "Please stop discussing. I know you have many doubts in your hearts, but just look at the emperor quietly and you will understand in a while."

At this point, a trace of sadness flashed in the old man's eyes.

After hearing the old man's words, the ministers in Fengqiu Garden stopped talking and became quiet.

Because the person who stood up to speak was none other than the great general of their Longyan Empire, who had made countless contributions to the Longyan Empire and had a high prestige in the court.

Moreover, he has the trust of the emperor and has never been suppressed. The relationship between the two is extremely harmonious, which also makes the Longyan Empire more united than other countries.

When many ministers looked towards Lin Yue, they all showed a look of surprise.

On the other side, Lin Yue had already started to have people place out the sacrificial items.

There were huge tripods that required the combined strength of ten people to lift, rare silk fabrics, skulls of various rare animals, and some unrecognizable strange objects.

One offering after another was presented to the crowd, some of which were extremely precious, and even for the Longyan Empire, they were difficult to collect. Seeing this scene, they immediately knew that the scale of this sacrifice was extremely large.

Lin Yue watched his servants arrange the offerings in an orderly manner according to his request, and his mind couldn't help but recall what he saw yesterday.

That parchment book contains information left by every emperor of the Longyan Empire.

And there is a passage recorded in it.

"The blood of Dragon Flame has been passed down from generation to generation. God protects us, so the power of the blood can drive away disasters and protect health..." (5,0);

"Moreover, the blood of dragon flame can cure all diseases, and by sacrificing itself, it can bless the entire empire..."

When Lin Yue came to his senses, all the offerings around him had been placed.

"We can start now..." Lin Yue said secretly in his heart.

That’s right, what Lin Yue is planning to perform now is not an ordinary sacrifice, but the sacrifice recorded in the parchment book, at the cost of his life.

The reason for making such a decision was that in the past two days, Lin Yue had consulted countless ancient books and finally found records about the current disease.

From this, Lin Yue learned that the only antidote to this disease was the royal blood in his body, or a sacrifice with the same effect as the royal blood.

The difference between the two lies in the scope of their effects. A drop of royal blood can only affect one person, but sacrifice affects the entire Longyan Empire.

Given the current situation in the southern part of the empire, even if all the blood in his body was squeezed out, it would still be far from enough.

So after some thought, Lin Yue resolutely chose to hold this sacrifice at the cost of his own life.

Prior to this, Lin Yue had already appointed the next successor to the Longyan Empire, and explained the current situation to the general, the old man with half-white hair, and entrusted the future matters to him.

After learning about this, the general was extremely opposed at first.

Before becoming the emperor, Lin Yue studied martial arts with the general for a long time, so the relationship between the two was very deep.

The general had no children, and he always treated Lin Yue as his own relative.

This is also why the kings of other countries and the generals who hold military power are suspicious of each other, but the situation in the Longyan Empire is completely different.

In the end, the general understood the cause and effect of the matter and had to agree.
