Retrograde for thousands of years

Chapter 204 Publicity
The originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and the only sound left was the sound of the city guards slapping themselves in the face, which made people feel upset.

Sun Haiyun didn't speak. He stood there and stared at Zhou Huan, trying to see just a flower on his face.

He has been an official for 30 years and has encountered many dangers and many people have threatened him, but he has never been forced to a dead end like he is now.

Although the speaker was just an unknown person from the world of martial arts, even though he didn't even threaten him.

Yumen Pass has now become a powder keg, especially after the explosion of Shunfeng Tower.

Thousands of heroes from all over the world - no, it should be more. Gathering here is a very troublesome thing in itself. Then there are some people who fan the flames, and some people don't care.

What will he do?
Reason told him that he should make a joke now, saying that he had never guaranteed Cheng Puzhen, and invited Tang Yueliang to jointly investigate the matter.

But where does he put his face?

In other words, in public, how could he overturn what he had said before? What would happen to his face?
He is a third-rank member of the imperial court. He has been running Yumen Pass for 30 years. He has many children, and he still has the imperial court's support behind him!
"Sir Cheng Puzhen was unjustly accused. He has nothing to do with the poisoning of Li Tanhua and others. I guarantee with my head that the murderer will be found within three days and I will give everyone an explanation. How about that?"

At this time, he cannot be vague. He must make his attitude clear. If it continues to be vague, it will be his problem.

Taking a deep breath, a smile appeared on Sun Haiyun's face, "Heroes and heroes, I also know that you are loyal to the country, the court and this official will never forget this, please believe that we will give everyone a fair .”

Thirty years ago, when he was still a scholar, he was able to go deep into the bandit's lair and personally persuade those thieves to be good. Today, he believes that with his sincere words, these Jianghu people can understand what is called righteousness of the court.

By the way, your attitude should be lower. The lower the better. It doesn’t matter if you call each other brothers. It’s best to fool these people...

Then, there was no applause, no cheers, and the surrounding Jianghu people folded their hands on their chests, and sneered at the corners of their mouths.

In the end what happened?Why this attitude?

"It seems that Lord Sun Haiyun and Cheng Pu are really a team. He used his head as a guarantee for Lord Cheng. Then I won't say anything. Lord Sun, take your dog and go back!"

Zhou Huan's last sentence suddenly became vulgar and angry, allowing people around him to clearly distinguish the irreconcilable conflict between Zhou Huan and Sun Haiyun.

At this time, even a small talk or a polite manner may be taken advantage of.

We must express our attitude most firmly and with the most determined attitude.

Sun Haiyun looked around blankly, wanting to say something. Finally, he sighed and left with his men.

"Senior Tang is mighty!"

"mighty!"

Someone shouted loudly, and the entire mansion was filled with cheers. Everyone thought this was Tang Yueliang's instruction, and they were all cheering for Tang Yueliang.

Zhou Huan politely took a step back and let Tang Yueliang stand in front of him.

……

In a church in the north of the city, an old monk was preparing to have a meal. His lunch was very ordinary, two pieces of rye bread and a glass of water.

The door opened silently, and a middle-aged man in casual clothes walked in. The old monk was a blond Westerner, and he was a mixed race with black hair and blue eyes.

Whether it is the Eastern Alliance or the Yumen Pass, it is a mixture of Liang people, local indigenous people and Westerners. The only difference is who is more and who is less.

"Lord Gao Li, I have followed your instructions and done what I should do, but is this really effective?"

The middle-aged man was a pawn of the Holy Alliance in Yumen Pass and worked as the editor-in-chief of a newspaper. When the Holy Alliance approached Gaochang City, he was very excited, but his boss forcefully asked him not to do too much and only do some things that were important to him. It seems like a trivial matter.For example, it was reported in the newspaper the day before yesterday that five gangsters were arrested. They drank in a hotel without paying, and then got into a dispute with the clerk. Fortunately, the city guard came, arrested these gangsters and put them in jail. As for them The money they owe for wine will be deducted from the silver and weapons they carry.

For example, further back, several people in the world were discovered by the Shenwei Army for teasing women. After being beaten violently, two of them had their legs broken, etc.

These news reports were extremely popular with the locals, and the reputation of the City Guards and the Shenwei Army also improved a lot. Of course, these reports did not mention it at all. The hotel promised one tael of silver for a bottle of wine, but it turned out to be [-] taels when the check came. This was the cause of the fight, and it was not mentioned that the women who were molested by the Jianghu characters were actually street girls who took money to do the fairy dance. A small leader of the Shenwei Army even beat a Jianghu character to death.

Of course, the newspapers would not mention it. More hotels, restaurants, and hostels saw the official acquiescence, so more and more foreigners came to trick the outsiders. The conflicts between the locals and the heroes continued, and Sun Haiyun didn't even know about these trivial matters.

"There is an old saying in the East, which is that everything depends on people. I just need to do my best. All glory belongs to the Lord... No, King Arthur."

The old monk sighed leisurely and corrected the error in his words.When King Arthur raised his army, as a minority in the church, he was optimistic about King Arthur's prospects and resolutely joined King Arthur's team. As a cardinal, he made countless contributions, but was eventually exiled to the East.

All glory belongs to the people. The country is above all else. The faith of the church can be retained, but the church's philosophy must be modified. As for the upper echelons of the Holy Alliance, they must set an example. They can believe in religion, but they are not allowed to preach, and they are not allowed to promote the idea that the Lord is above all else.

The old monk was the chicken that was killed. After King Arthur talked to him three times, he was unwilling to change his faith and continued to preach the glory of the Lord to the upper class, so he was exiled to the East.

"Lord Gao Li, I won't talk too much."

The middle-aged man blinked his eyes and said that Mr. Li Li did not have to do this.

"No, I have stayed in the East for ten years, but I feel that the king is right. All glory belongs to the people, and things in the East are human-made. What I asked you to do is more important than going directly into battle."

Although middle-aged people don't quite understand Lord Gao Li's instructions, Lord Gao Li is very famous in the Western world. He single-handedly contributed to the split of the church with his pamphlets and propaganda.

"Our people poisoned Li Tanhua, which seems to be a great achievement, but it is far less effective than framing Cheng Pu. Liang is a super power, and its foundation far exceeds ours. We can defeat it." They have fought a hundred times, but as long as Liang Guo unites, we will fail."

"But……"

"We have too few high-end warriors, we have no internal unity, our upper echelons have different opinions, and we don't have much wealth accumulation. Of course, these are not what we need to care about. What we need to do is to make Liang Guo himself chaotic.

It is the best policy to stir up disputes between the Jianghu and the court, and at the same time make those people in the Jianghu lose their respect for the court, and then push it on top of it, causing Liang Guo to be in chaos. "

"Yes, Lord Gao Li, I heard a rumor. I wonder if it is true or false?"

"Say."

"Your Majesty the King seems to disagree with this Western Expedition, and advocates continuing to recuperate and compete with the East in 20 years."

After pondering for a moment, he nodded proudly.

"Yes, the king does not agree to this war. It is the Knights of the Round Table, the Queen, and the Eastern Alliance who are promoting this war."

"?"

"Seventy years ago, the sword demon Chen Yunying went on an expedition to the west. Our country was littered with murdered corpses. Many of the current upper echelons came from that era, including many of the knights and queens of the Round Table. They were all killed by the king. Adopted orphan.

This kind of hatred is indelible. When the Holy Alliance becomes stronger, the voice of revenge is so loud that even the king can't suppress it. Who asks the king to implement an internal collegial system, and the Knights of the Round Table can vote to decide the country's future policies.

So, in a vote, the king became the minority.

As for the Eastern Alliance, they know better than anyone how powerful they will face once the Holy Alliance is truly unified and will farm for another 20 years. Therefore, they would rather the war happen early and start when they can win.

It’s funny, what they did a few years ago is the same thing we do now.They sent people to pay huge sums of money to buy public opinion in our newspapers, publicize the blood feud of the past, and incited war with our internal people. "
