Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 144 Peace and Tao, Heaven and Earth Without Suffering?
When the army appeared in Fenggu County, all the refugees realized that this was the imperial government's disaster relief team.

The flags are flying, and all the standard armors.

Gongs, drums, horns, and newspaper singing clear the way.

Protected in the middle of the team, there are baggage trucks full of goods, and there are two deep ruts passing by.

The flag a few sizes smaller than the Qing flag, as well as the jade plaques held by the surrounding guards of honor, clearly indicated the identity of the leader.

"It is indeed the disaster relief team, and it is indeed the Lou Xiang who personally came out."

"This kind of battle can't reverse the fate of the refugees... That Ji Qingzhi, what did he do to the refugees?"

Xu Chong's gaze swept around, but he couldn't find anything unusual.

The disaster relief team is here to save lives, and its nature is different from that of the Golden Armored Pagoda.

So they can only move forward slowly while dispersing the congested crowd.

It took a long time before the vanguard finally appeared in front of the city.

Just now.

A shocking cry spread all over the place.

"——What is Martial Arts?!"

"!!!"

Xu Chong's complexion changed wildly, he turned his head suddenly, and looked towards the place where the voice came from: "Who is it?!"

This cry is extremely grand, and its people are at least in the realm of washing themselves!
Definitely not refugees!

However, the refugees were too dense. In the area where the sound came out, there were at least tens of thousands of people who were suspected of this, and it was impossible to be accurate to an individual!
Fortunately, Xu Chong couldn't find it, but someone could find it.

A thunderbolt suddenly fell, shining in all directions.

- Crack!
Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the thunder and lightning shrank, and a person was lifted from the densely packed refugees who were still in a trance.

Not surprisingly, it was Lou Youzhi who made the move and found the person who shouted.

however.

A louder voice than before came from another area.

"There is a way to peace, and there is no suffering in the world!!!"

As soon as Yinlang appeared, it quickly spread in all directions.

Although the same thunderbolt fell and caught this person, it was too late.

All the refugees, when they heard the words 'peace and justice, heaven and earth without suffering', the trance on their faces was replaced by extreme hatred.

"There is a way to peace, and there is no suffering in the world!!!"

"There is a way to peace, and there is no suffering in the world!!!"

"There is a way to peace, and there is no suffering in the world!!!"

"..."

roar.

There were roars one after another.

No matter men or women, no matter how old or young, no matter how enlightened they are, they all roared.

Xu Chong clearly saw that in the arms of a woman not far from the city wall, the baby who did not have the ability to love, hate, or speak had a hideous face and roared! !

Xu Chong's heart beat violently as if hit by a giant hammer.

He already understood what Taoist Taiping wanted to do.

Instigate refugees, hate Daqing!
"There is a way of peace, and there is no suffering in the world?"

The extremely cold words were squeezed out from between Xu Chong's teeth, "What a world without suffering!!"

What do refugees do when they hate Daqing and lose their minds?
There is no need to guess at all.

as predicted.

After nine times in a row, the content of the roar suddenly became messy.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill Baoqing!!! Avenge Master Jiang!!!"

"Hahahahaha, may all living beings in the world be free from natural disasters and man-made disasters!!!"

"..."

With tears of blood and extreme hatred, the refugees roared and attacked the relief troops.

They have no sharp weapons, no tough armor, just relying on their flesh and blood to launch a fearless attack!

On the other hand, on the army side, although the team was extremely long, it was obvious that each section was coordinated by the leader, and an appropriate response was made in a short while.

Formation, defense, counterattack.

The moment the two sides came into contact, tens of thousands of refugee corpses were left behind.

Xu Chong stood dumbly, staring blankly at all this.

"Xu Xiaoyou is here?"

A luxurious old man in his sixties came carelessly on a breeze and landed on the top of the city.

"Are you... Lou Xiang?"

Xu Chong woke up like a dream, immediately revealed his figure, and said eagerly: "Please give the order to stop the officers and soldiers from killing!!"

"It's useless."

Lou Youzhi shook his head and sighed.

"How could it be useless?!"

Xu Chong was very anxious, and said quickly: "This kind of evil method will definitely not last for too long, and it will definitely be eliminated by tomorrow's dawn at the latest..."

"and then?"

Lou Youzhi interrupted Xu Chong unceremoniously, "I can indeed order these officers and soldiers to only defend and not to attack. Even if most of them are consumed to death, it is not impossible, but then?"

"Even I don't know the details of this method."

"Do you think that the imperial court will let these millions of people who may be manipulated at any time live?"

Ding Deng Deng.

Xu Chong took three steps back, his face pale.

He knew that Lou Youzhi was right.

Even if this method of manipulating people's hearts can only last for an hour or even half an hour, and it will no longer be effective in the future, so what?
As long as it cannot be determined, these millions of people will always be a ticking time bomb for Daqing.

So, being manipulated once is enough.

This time, is it only Emperor Qing who wants to kill these refugees?
Do not!
With this time, no matter whether they are neutral, those who support Emperor Qing, or those who have a heart for refugees, all people in the court will only have one choice!

Let these people die!

"Hehehe, millions of lives..."

Xu Chong laughed and clapped his hands again and again, "So ruthless, so ruthless!"

Among the millions of people, there were people from Canglong, Zhao Liu, and many faces he was familiar with.

In the very beginning, he was able to keep these people.

Even if it is packaged and sent to the Hua family, it is not difficult to arrange a mere ten thousand people.

But now...

He can't do it.

He couldn't even find these people in the dense crowd.

"No matter what mood you are in, put it aside for me now."

Lou Youzhi stared at Xu Chong blankly, "Tell me, what happened here these days?"

"Okay, I'll tell you."

Xu Chong took a deep breath, "But you, also tell me what you know."

Lou Youzhi's eyes froze.

Xu Chong looked at each other without fear: "You must know more than me."

After a long time, Lou Youzhi nodded, "Yes."

At that moment, Xu Chong calmed down and told Lou Youzhi exactly what he had learned from Zhao Liu.

From the beginning to the end, Lou Youzhi remained expressionless.

"And that's all."

After Xu Chong finished speaking, he looked directly at Lou Youzhi.

"It seems that I guessed right."

Lou Youzhi turned around and looked at the extremely abrupt and incongruous earth and stone houses.

"What did you guess?"

Xu Chong asked.

"On that day, when His Majesty appointed me as the Relief Envoy, he also issued another decree."

Lou Youzhi pointed to the officers and soldiers below who were red-eyed and started to attack, "Let the thirteen prefectures of Yongzhou and all the garrison stations assist in the relief work."

"The garrison station has ten thousand households, each with 60 to [-] soldiers, and the entire Yongzhou has [-] troops."

"And the deployment of officers and soldiers in the garrison station is a mixture of ordinary people and officials."

"When you reach the centurion level, you need warriors to take the role."

"If it's just for disaster relief, 20 is enough. Sending more people is a waste of manpower and material resources."

"Not to mention, I brought out 20 more elite soldiers from the capital."

"Is this disaster relief?"

Lou Youzhi swung his sleeves and sneered: "No, this is to ensure that these millions of refugees can be killed!"

"what do you mean……"

Xu Chong narrowed his eyes.

"Obviously."

Lou Youzhi said calmly, "Actually, when I saw these houses that shouldn't be there, I already knew that they were created by the Taiping Dao, but I never expected that the Taoist of the Taiping Dao, Ji Qingzhi, would actually Will be so cooperative with His Majesty."

"Why does he cooperate with Emperor Qing?"

Xu Chong grimaced, "We don't know what Emperor Qing will get, but the Dao of Taiping only supplements a mere thousand warriors. Even if there are people with excellent qualifications, the two are not equal at all."

"Not equal? ​​It's right not to wait."

Lou Youzhi lowered his eyes, "This shows that the master of Taiping Dao is the imperial court...even His Majesty's people."

Xu Chong froze all over, his hands and feet were cold.

In this way, everything makes sense.

From the beginning to the end, the natural disaster in Yongzhou was completely under the control of that Emperor Qing.

Even if there were Jiang Zhihong, Dou Tianyuan, Lou Youzhi... and all the other variables, in the end, he still couldn't break free from this kind of control.

Emperor Qing, is it so terrifying?
"Ha, I knew you would meet here."

Dou Tianyuan opened the door and came out.

The laughing expression only lasted half a breath, and then it was instantly livid.

He saw the scene of 'disaster relief'.

A voice almost roaring like a wild beast spit out from Dou Tianyuan's throat: "Lou Heizi, I need an explanation!"

"explain?"

Lou Youzhi smiled disdainfully, "The explanation is that all of us were played by that His Majesty in the applause."

"His Majesty?"

Dou Tianyuan was startled, and looked at Xu Chong.

Xu Chong was dumb, and repeated everything that Taoist Taiping had done, and then said: "The building minister speculates that Ji Qingzhi is a member of Emperor Qing."

"..."

Dou Tianyuan's complexion was completely ugly, and his tone was mixed with irrepressible anger: "No wonder, no wonder it was so inexplicable all of a sudden, I was asked to come to Yongzhou to supervise the relief..."

"Obviously, you are getting too close to me, which makes him a little dissatisfied."

Lou Youzhi said lightly, "It's called Duyan, but it's actually a warning to you."

Dou Tianyuan's heart sank, "It's just a warning, I have no problem, but your words..."

Everyone said that Lou Youzhi had power over the government and the public, covering the sky with one hand.

Yes, on the surface, that is indeed the case.

After all, that His Majesty doesn't care about government affairs, and all important military affairs are handed over to Lou Youzhi.

But looking deeper, this also means that Lou Youzhi has never acted against His Majesty.

Only this time.

All officials wrote a letter together, asking for relief envoys, and An Guogong privately raised supplies.

No matter which one, it really offended Ni Lin.

"Don't worry, he won't kill me."

Lou Youzhi said indifferently, "Unless he wants to see the imperial court completely paralyzed."

It was easy to say, but Dou Tianyuan felt even worse.

Because he remembered that in the past Lou Youzhi said 'he can't kill me', but now it says 'he won't kill me'.

The two are the difference between cloud and mud.

"Elder Jiang once had a question before Bu Wu."

Xu Chong interrupted suddenly, "If you want to kill people, why use natural disasters? With a large army suppressing the country and being labeled as a rebel, you can kill a million people in one day. How much effort would it take to slaughter the entire Yongzhou?"

"My answer at the time was that maybe the simple massacre would not bring any benefits to Emperor Qing, and he must die because of a natural disaster."

"Hehe, now it seems that as long as you die in the place where the natural disaster strikes, it will be fine."

Xu Chong smiled coldly, "The reason why he didn't slaughter was because he wanted to be a sign and also wanted to stand on the archway."

The naked rebellious words just blurted out like this, still from the mouth of the 'Taizu Legacy'.

Lou Youzhi and Dou Tianyuan raised their eyebrows at the same time.

"I can see that you are not on Emperor Qing's side."

Xu Chong raised his palm, "I don't know what you want to do, and I don't want to know what you want to do, but a side technique I created may be helpful to you."

Just as he finished speaking, a white aura emerged from Xu Chong's palm.

The strong aura on it made the two of them look shocked at the same time.

Manipulate, gather aura...

In the world, can there be such a side technique?
Xu Chong didn't speak, just waited.

Lou Youzhi and Dou Tianyuan's attention was quickly attracted, and their expressions changed again and again.

Because they clearly saw that as time passed, the white aura gradually shrank, dimmed, and disappeared.

"I tried it when I was in Binzhou a few days ago."

Xu Chong opened his mouth and continued, "In Binzhou, this group of spiritual energy will always exist, and there will be no sign of dissipating. It will only happen in Yongzhou, or in places where natural disasters strike."

"Normally speaking, it would take a long, long time for such a condensed aura to dissipate, and it didn't dissipate, it just attached and merged into the surrounding people or things."

Lou Youzhi looked solemn, "But just now, not only did it dissipate so quickly, but I didn't feel where it dissipated, as if it disappeared completely out of thin air."

"What do you mean..."

Dou Tianyuan narrowed his eyes, "Is this what His Majesty needs?"

"not that simple."

Lou Youzhi glanced at Dou Tianyuan, "If it's just spiritual energy, the royal family will definitely not lack it."

"I guess, it should be aura, life, the combination of the two can transform into something else in the land of natural disasters."

Xu Chong said slowly, "And this kind of thing is what Emperor Qing really needs."

Lou Youzhi and Dou Tianyuan looked at each other, and at the same time, they were suddenly stunned.

"What did you think of?"

Xu Chong asked.

"Shouyuan."

Dou Tianyuan slowly spit out two words.

"Shouyuan?"

Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, "I remember, Emperor Qing is only in his sixties now, right?"

60 years old may be a hurdle for ordinary people.

But it is nothing to an emperor who never cares about the government.

What's more, this emperor is also the emperor of the fantasy dynasty.

"There's something I haven't told you."

Dou Tianyuan sighed, and said: "People who have the blood of the great ancestor, no matter if they are from the royal family, or the descendants of the common people, or the legacy of the great ancestor like you, all have a unique advantage-there is no upper limit to their qualifications."

"It can't be said that there is no upper limit. Anyway, good aptitude is far better than a peerless genius among ordinary people."

"At the same time, there is a limit to this unique gift - the better the aptitude, the shorter the lifespan."

"For example, the Qian Wang you have seen looks like he is dying of old age, but he is actually ten years younger than me."

As Dou Tianyuan spoke, his tone became low: "And the reason why His Majesty is His Majesty is not Qianwang... It is because of his aptitude, which is better than Qianwang."

"I see……"

Xu Chong looked at the corpses strewn all over the field outside the city, and nodded numbly.

Think about it too.

In the mundane world of the previous life, even if the upper limit of the emperor's lifespan was not lower than that of ordinary people, he would tirelessly pursue longevity.

Let alone here?

An emperor with unparalleled strength and invincible power, but his lifespan is not as good as that of an ordinary person.

Then, no matter what crazy things this emperor does, it can be explained.

"and."

Dou Tianyuan spoke again, pointing out: "Even the rules of longevity can't change this."

"..."

Xu Chong's heart was shaken, he pretended to be calm and said, "The rule of longevity? Is there such a thing?"

"At the beginning, the imperial court and Taiping Dao confronted each other in Canglong County for the fragments of the cave that contained the rules of longevity."

Dou Tianyuan didn't care, and continued: "If the rules of longevity are useful to His Majesty, how could it be possible that only a few local blood-clothed guards will take action? Even if you are on guard against my private embezzlement, wouldn't you choose a few people who can check and balance me? go together?"

After saying these words, Xu Chong knew that Dou Tianyuan probably suspected that the fragment of Longevity Heaven was with him.

Telling yourself these things at this time is to reassure yourself.

"Obviously, Your Majesty, or successive emperors, have found a way to prolong life."

Lou Youzhi said lightly, "Unfortunately, we don't know how this method works."

"I advise you not to do stupid things."

Dou Tianyuan's face turned serious, and he said seriously: "At least in the last few years, don't mess around."

Lou Youzhi didn't pay attention, but looked at Xu Chong: "Where is Jiang Zhihong buried?"

"In the city."

Xu Chong replied, "A place where you can never see the battlefield."

"That's good."

Lou Youzhi nodded, riding the wind, and headed for a carriage behind the disaster relief team.

Dou Tianyuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say, and finally sighed dejectedly.

Xu Chong suddenly said: "My lord, go back to Beijing."

"you……"

Dou Tianyuan raised his eyebrows.

"This subordinate has been guilty for a long time, it's time to go to jail."

Xu Chong showed a smile.

Hey……

Dou Tianyuan sighed, and pushed the door open first.

Xu Chong glanced at the battlefield for the last time, and followed suit.

At that last glance, he still couldn't find any familiar figure.

Some are just Avengers who use flesh and blood as weapons.

endless.
