Chapter 224
Early in the morning.

Outside Qinghe County, refugees gathered.

The three major gangs organized strong men early, carrying weapons, staring at the refugees outside with red eyes.

Distributing food, no one wants to distribute food.

Why should the food that should be eaten by our own people be distributed to these refugees?

But when they thought that if they were rushed into Qinghe County by these refugees, their family members might suffer because of it, or even be kidnapped, and be displaced from home. These people felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

After all, the grain distributed is not from their own family, but from the Qianqian Gang, the Rice Gang, and the Straw Sandal Gang.

If you come to help yourself, not only do you not have to hand in the food, but you can also receive half a catty every day.

It's just that there are too many people watching the vain grains being given to the refugees, and they are in vain, feeling distressed.

I heard that there are people who distribute food here for free, and there are quite a few refugees who rushed here, but most of them are honest.

The corpses and heads hanging from the trees on both sides of the road all warn the refugees who step here, it is best to come here honestly, and then go honestly, don’t make any noise, otherwise you will be arrested next time. hanging on a tree.

The gate of the city opened suddenly, and a team of hundreds of people riding fast horses rushed out of Qinghe County.

The refugees who didn't know why saw the well-equipped "officers and soldiers" and spontaneously gave way.

This team is naturally a hundred soldiers led by Zhu Qi.

Wu Chenzi, a few little Taoist priests, Jiang Jiang and others were also among them.

All the way north, you can see countless bones along the way.

Some people starved to death by the roadside, and their bones were being eaten by wild dogs.

Some of them lost their lives because they had huge sums of money or belongings on them, and accidentally leaked their money and were targeted by others.

Not only the poor but also the rich were fleeing. No one wanted to stay and be caught by the bullshit King Jiang, so he took the whole family to relocate. It's a pity that such a thing happened, but they lost their lives.

The fragility of ordinary people is vividly displayed at this moment.

After nightfall, everyone stopped at the foot of a mountain and went up the mountain to a temple to rest.

There are no monks in the temple, and there is no incense. I am afraid they have moved away because of the war.

Zhu Qi ordered his men to go to the back kitchen to live in rebellion.

But Wu Chenzi took the initiative to find Zhu Qi.

"Master Zhu, the last time you told me about the story called "The Butterfly Lovers", I don't think Ma Wen was responsible for the tragedy."

"Oh?" Zhu Qi looked at Wu Chenzi.

After all, it's a woman, all her asses are on fire, and the Jianmu Mansion is in chaos. She is still thinking about "The Butterfly Lovers". At this time, everyone should recharge their batteries instead of talking about love stories.

But Wu Chenzi is interested, so Zhu Qi can't interrupt her.

Wu Chenzi went on to say: "The times are like this, even if there is no Ma Wencai, there are Zhang Wencai, Li Wencai, no matter which literary talent is replaced, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai will never get married."

"Liang Shanbo is just a poor scholar, but Zhu Yingtai is a lady from a famous family." Wu Chenzi turned his head slightly, looked outside the door, and looked at the night sky: "Zhu Yingtai was born with his own mission."

Is this a feeling, and then you bring yourself into it?
Who knows why Wuchenzi must disguise himself as a woman, and he will not make judgments without other people's affairs.

Zhu Qi didn't think he could be a good "psychiatrist", so he simply chose to talk about Liang Zhu in a literal sense.

He just said: "The family is right, it has been there since ancient times."

"That's right." Wu Chenzi nodded in agreement: "The family is right, that's true. In many cases, you have to choose the right door for doing things. The rich family is against the rich family, and the bamboo door is right with the bamboo door."

Zhu Qi was taken aback for a moment, because he found that what Wu Chenzi said didn't seem to be referring to "love issues", but instead seemed to be asking about his "stand team".

The relationship between Baixing Taoist Temple and Li Gongding is good, but the alternation of old and new is inevitable.

If the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely support the Jianghu sects close to him, and at the same time put the sects he has made friends with Li Gongding into the cold palace. This is what Bai Xing Taoist temple is worried about now.

Now Baixing Dao Temple is like betting on both sides, not only working for Li Gongding, but also helping the prince Li Taizhong.

But betting on both sides also means that both ends are empty, not only Zhu Qi can see the problem in the middle, I am afraid that Bai Xing Taoist temple also knows this problem.

Could it be that the prince is going to usurp the throne immediately?Otherwise, why would the Baixing Taoist Temple be so anxious.

In Zhu Qi's memory, the results of multiple simulations by the simulator showed that Prince Li Taizhong ascended the throne when he was 29 years old.

I'm just 20 years old, and there are still nine years left.

Wuchenzi asked: "My lord, if you were you, how would you choose?"

Zhu Qi shook his head: "It has nothing to do with me."

Whether it's the prince or Li Gongding, it's all the Li family fighting among themselves, and whoever is the emperor has nothing to do with me.

Wu Chenzi frowned and asked, "You choose to hide?"

"No." Zhu Qi shook his head: "I'm watching them outside the door."

Jianmu House.

King Jiang had dinner at Tianlong, and after drinking two small cups of wine with great interest, he strode into the tent for discussion.

There were already several people standing in the tent.

Feng Mingyuan, a strange family in black armor.

Then there is a girl in a white dress wearing a lotus mask.

A drunkard dressed in sackcloth.

And an old man with a white beard.

"God's calculation, how is it?" Yu Tianlong asked the old man with white beard next to him impatiently as soon as he sat down after entering the tent.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

The old man with a white beard said loudly: "We have captured the nine counties of Jianmu Prefecture. We have 18 elite soldiers under our command. In addition, with the help of Feng Qianhu, we have confiscated [-] magic soldiers! In addition, there are the White Lotus Sect and the Commoner Sect. With the help of strange people, my lord, you have achieved great success!"

"Hahahaha!"

Yu Tianlong was overjoyed: "Good, good, good!"

"On the day when this king drives Li Gongding off the dragon chair, he will definitely confer on you as the current national teacher, Feng Qianhu will be the founding general to protect the country, and the White Lotus Sect and the Commoner Sect will be the state religions! All disciples under the sect can enter the court as officials without examination. !"

Although the expressions of the four people were different, they said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"God, what should we do next?" Yu Tianlong asked hastily.

The white-bearded old man hesitated for a while, and said: "Your majesty has gained momentum now, and the fact that the court has no soldiers to dare to come shows the problem, so we should go straight to the capital with all our strength!"

"Kill to the capital?" Yu Tianlong hesitated: "This...is it too urgent?"

Although Yu Tianlong was born as a scholar, he is not stupid after all. He wanted to attack the capital with 10,000+ troops. The capital is not made of paper, how can it be so easy to break through?
"Dayan is now a strong outsider, but you have held high the banner for several months, Your Majesty. When did Dayan send someone here?" asked the old man with a white beard.

Yu Tianlong nodded: "What you said makes sense. Dayan should be really afraid of me, otherwise it wouldn't have been so long without sending someone."

"That's right, that's right!" The white-bearded old man nodded again and again: "May my lord rule the Great Swallow forever, just around the corner!"

Yu Tianlong listened comfortably, as if he had endless strength, he waved his hands and said, "Leave the rest to you. My king will break into the palace as soon as possible and take Li Gongding's throne!"

Everyone retreated immediately, leaving behind Yu Tianlong, who was full of crazy thoughts, in the tent, self-illusioned the days after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

"Fortunate!"

As soon as he left the tent, Feng Mingyuan grabbed the white-bearded old man: "Fortunately, what happened to the thing you talked to me last time?"

"Master Feng, don't worry, I'm [-]% sure that this thing is old."

"Huh" Feng Mingyuan nodded, and said, "I hope God will tell you that you don't want to lie to me. I have already bet my life and wealth, and success or failure is only a matter of thought."

"Haha, Master Feng, don't worry." The white bearded old man said: "If it fails, this head will be given to Master Feng for you to play as a ball."

"It really won't work. My head was cut off too. What's the use of having one more of yours?"

Feng Mingyuan wanted to regret at this moment, but he had come to this point, and it was too late to regret, so he could only grit his teeth and go all the way to the dark.

After all, if it is really possible to achieve..., then it is three realms!

Stepping into the upper three realms, Dayan has to treat herself like a god, so she can only be polite.

On the other side, the masked girl returned to her tent.

But as soon as she entered the tent, she saw a person sitting on her bed.

"How did you come!"

Seeing who it was, the girl was a little surprised.

"Zhu Qi, meet the saint!"

The person who came was Zhu Qi, who "kept in mind" his fabricated identity as an agent of the White Lotus Sect, and there were no loopholes in his actions.

Xiang Liu took off her mask and revealed a cold face. Only when she saw someone who belonged to "my master" mentioned something, would she feel relieved in her heart and her expression softened a bit.

"Saint, do you know what is the origin of this King Jiang?" Zhu Qi asked puzzledly, "Why do you serve him?"

Although the White Lotus Sect is not a smart person, it's just a brainwashing cult, but Xiangliu still looks quite normal, and she definitely shouldn't have made such an unwise choice.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that relying on Jiang Wang is a gust of wind. The wind blows past, the noise may be quite loud, and there may be a burst of dust, but the days after that will remain the same, and no one will really live by this gust of wind.

The northwest wind is not enough to drink.

"Of course I know." Xiangliu was a little helpless: "It's just that the old people in the church think that it is an opportunity to follow the king of Jiang, and then the king of Jiang will be famous and can improve the reputation of the holy religion among the people. He will believe in the holy religion, that's why the holy religion chose to join King Jiang."

Rub traffic.

Zhu Qi nodded, and said, "I also ask the Holy Maiden to forgive me, but Zhu Qi failed to do what you ordered to kill Li Wenfei."

"Kill who?" Xiang Liu wondered.

"He Bo once found his subordinates with the jade pendant of the saint, your mother of the dragon, and asked them to kill Li Wenfei even if they died. However, the subordinates thought that this was inconsistent with the last instructions of the leader. In order to avoid being exposed, they Chose to disobey the order of the saint."

"He Bo...he!"

Xiang Liu was a little annoyed, but she didn't show it in the end, but said: "It's good that you didn't expose, you are the person I trust the most, if something happens to you, I should..."

She realized that what she said seemed inappropriate, so she immediately shut her mouth.

Zhu Qi also pretended not to hear, after all, what he said was ambiguous.

Because Xiangliu thought that the jade pendant in her hand was also given by the former leader of the White Lotus Sect. After all, the jade pendant cannot be faked, so she decided that Zhu Qi was someone who could be trusted.

"Saint, did He Bo arrange for you to follow King Jiang this time?" Zhu Qi asked.

"Um"

Xiang Liu nodded: "The old people in the church have great power. Although I am the only saint of the White Lotus Sect, the power is not in my hands for a day before I become the leader of the White Lotus Sect."

To put it bluntly, it's just a marionette.

"Saint, in my opinion, the old people in the church have been corrupted by the world and have forgotten the original intention of the White Lotus Sect. We should clean it up!"

"This……"

Although Xiangliu has noticed that some old people in the sect will choose to abandon the teachings of the White Lotus Sect for the sake of benefit, but most of the time she will choose not to know and pretend not to know.

Now that Zhu Qi mentions this matter again, she just hesitates.

"I got a chance." Zhu Qi said: "There is a chance for the White Lotus Sect to officially enter the sunshine of Dayan and no longer be a cult."

Zhu Qi spoke out the content of the imperial decree directly.

According to Zhu Qi's guess, at least three forces must know about this "hidden" edict, which is not considered secret at all.

"Really!" Xiang Liu asked in surprise.

If it can be officially recognized by the imperial court, who would want to be a cult.

Zhu Qi said: "It's just that today's White Lotus Sect is no different from a cult. We must bear the pain and break the pustules."

"Saint, please think again!"

If he wanted to kill Feng Mingyuan, he had to solve the troubles surrounding King Jiang and him.

And he also knew that the imperial decree sent by the crown prince was definitely not just to let him take off Feng Mingyuan's head, the most important thing was to remove Feng Mingyuan's influence and destroy King Jiang.

It can even be said that the better he does, the more he can get.

"What do you want me to do?" Xiang Liu thought about it, but still chose to agree with Zhu Qi's words.

Today's White Lotus Sect and teachings such as "mutual help" and "overcoming difficulties together" run counter to each other, and are full of various oppressive regulations, brainwashing and slavery.

"This, it's easy to say..."

After clarifying the details with Xiang Liu, half an hour has passed.

"It is an old man with a white beard who can bring together the Bailian Sect, the Commoner Sect, Feng Mingyuan, and our three forces." Xiang Liu said: "This person claims to be the best fortune teller in the world, and it is said that he is also the one who bewitched King Jiang to become king and started the war. , this person has both sides, is proficient in astronomy and geography, and is very knowledgeable, you have to be careful of him."

"Well, definitely!"

I wish Qi Feitian to leave.

In the temple, Wu Chenzi woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly sensed a wave of true energy outside, only to find out that it was Zhu Qi when he rushed out.

"My lord, don't you rest when it's late at night?"

"Don't worry." Zhu Qi shook his head. He looked at Wuchenzi, thought for a moment, and said, "Tomorrow, we will stay here for one more day, and we will ask Taoist Wuchenzi to help us."

"Speaking?"

"Come to my room and pretend to be with me for a day." Zhu Qi said.

"It's simple." Wu Chenzi nodded, and then asked: "Master Zhu, what do you need to do? Can the poor help?"

"Help me this time, it's the biggest help."

Wuchenzi was puzzled: "Why?"

The explanation given by Zhu Qi is: "I suspect that someone is watching us secretly."

In fact, he wanted to hide his strength as much as possible, otherwise he would appear in the tent of King Jiang in Jianmu Mansion all of a sudden, and then appear in the temple in the south of Jianmu Mansion all of a sudden. arrived.
