Under the sky

Chapter 332 Going the opposite way

Tucker's body was suddenly hot and cold, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was almost crying.He didn't expect Yang Yan to do such a trick, and his temper suddenly softened, and he begged: "God Sa, I have treated you so politely! This piece of cloth is too small, I have many brothers..."

"I don't want to hurt you. I don't mean it. Tucker, I'm helping you. You don't need these brothers." Yang Yan said firmly, "I have been tolerant enough to them. These people are not innocent. If you protect them , then you are not innocent either."

Gao Leqi, who was on the side, finally figured out what was going on. He said, "Son of God, no matter what Gulthas promised you, he was just using you. You were deceived by him."

"He wants to use me to fulfill his wishes, but I will hold on to power and not become a tool of any power."

"You can't beat Gulthas, dear Son of God. Gulthas will not always be as well-behaved and docile as he is today. He is just acting," Gao Leqi said.Although today's situation is much better than he expected, at least it seems that neither he nor Tucker will be in danger now, but this cannot last long. Without Yang Yan, whether his life will be long or short depends on Gulthas' wishes. .

"Yang Yan!" Tucker called out the real name of the Son of God, knelt on the ground, lowered his body and put his head on the ground, "Please, don't do this to me! Have mercy on me, even if you give me an extra piece of cloth, This cloth is really too small, it’s too small to write a few names on it!”

Tucker grabbed Yang Yan's divine robe: "We used to be very good friends! Even if I don't deserve to be your friend, don't you have any mercy?"

Yang Yan's cheeks and eyes were almost crowded together, but he was determined not to get entangled with Tucker and ordered: "I'm going to rest. You can go back."

"Say! This is your own wish, not Gulthas forcing you!" Tucker yelled.

Yang Yan nodded: "I'll say it again, this is my intention, Gulthas didn't force me."

Tucker was dejected: "I shouldn't have resisted Gulthas, not from the beginning... The result was just letting the mountain add your weight and crush me even more to death."

Yang Yan stopped talking and looked at Wang Hong. Wang Hong sighed: "Please leave Tak Yarian and the Chief Consul. The Son of God needs to rest."

Tucker needed Gao Leqi's help to get up, and he didn't even give a farewell gift.Gao Leqi saluted the Son of God and helped Tucker leave.

When we left the priest's house, the scene in the street had completely changed.A large number of sacrificial guards were walking on the street. Just as Tucker was talking to Yang Yan, the sacrificial guards had already begun to take action.Many mansions near the priest's courtyard were filled with sacrificial soldiers. Tucker saw Prince Matthew being dragged away by the sacrificial soldiers, with his wife and children dragging him tightly.Tucker wanted to get out of the car to stop him, but Gao Leqi grabbed him and said, "Don't get out of the car." After saying that, he walked around Tucker and pulled the curtain for Tucker to prevent him from seeing the scene outside.

Tucker covered his face with his hands and cried out.

■

Yang Yan hated this feeling. He had never gone on a different path from the people he considered "brothers".He had made one or two friends in Wu, but because he was isolated, everyone began to alienate him. This small betrayal was insignificant, but he had never "betrayed" others.He was straightforward and had almost never been misunderstood by anyone. He did not think he was wrong. The doubts of Tucker and Gao Leqi made him sad.

"Is this what you're going to do?" He took Wang Hong and Dion to the Saint Division Hall, and Wang Hong reported the method of disposal. Gulthas asked after hearing this.

"Gulsas thinks it's too cruel?" Yang Yan asked back.He was polite, but without much respect in his tone, for the man who had given him absolute power.

"You can also give Gao Leqi the power to compile history. He has always wanted this." Gursasi said, "This will make him feel that you are still on their side."

"This will only make Tucker suspicious of Gao Leqi." Yang Yan replied, "I have no intention of destroying the trust between them. Tucker is already humble enough, would it be better to let him drink to death like his father? Moreover, Gao Leqi is an excellent consul, and writing history should be a reward for him, not a punishment."

"There will always be Arien, and the chief consul will change from time to time." Gulthas said, "You can keep the ones that are suitable for your use. This is the power of the Priesthood."

"Sasi is also common." Yang Yan said, "A long life is as rare as a good consul."

Regarding Yang Yan's offense, Gulthas just smiled: "Can I give you another suggestion? You can spread the news that Tucker can save the prince with insect noise."

"What's the benefit of this?" Yang Yan asked.

"Tucker must become an Arion worthy of you, and so does Gollach." Gulthas said, "This will be good for him."

Yang Yan thought for a while and nodded.

"The prince has been punished, and all relevant personnel of the Priesthood will also be punished. What else does the Son of God want to do?"

Yang Yan pointed at Dion and asked, "Is he really mine?"

Dion was a bodyguard given to Yang Yan by Gulthas. Gulthas said that with him, he would no longer have to worry about being attacked by others, or even fear Dak, but Yang Yan suspected that this was arranged by Gulthas by his side. eyeliner.

Gulthas nodded: "He is yours, you can even order him to kill me."

Yang Yan didn't believe it: "You said that power will not betray its owner."

"Dion has no power, he only has loyalty and piety to follow his faith." Gulthas said, "You can test him."

"I'm going to see Wang Qile." Yang Yan said, "I owe him a favor."

■

Arien Palace was filled with crying royal family members, and there were even more outside the palace. The momentum was so huge that Tucker mistakenly thought that he was still surrounded by a mob.

Tucker held his head and drank in the room, one bottle after another.He refused to be seen by anyone, including some of his closest cousins.

Gao Leqi knocked on the door and came in, seeing him drunk.

"Dear Lord Arien, you can be drunk as much as you like, but I must remind you that you only have three days, one day to get drunk, one day to think deeply, and one day to write your name."

"Where have you been?" Tucker pulled Gao Leqi, his mouth filled with the smell of alcohol that Gao Leqi hated, "Drink with me!"

Gao Leqi is studying how many people's names can be written on the one-foot-square white cloth. If the words are smaller, more people can be saved.

"You're right, I shouldn't have gotten into this!" Tucker shouted, "I should have killed that ungrateful false god at the hunting lodge!"

Gao Leqi didn't think Yang Yan was ungrateful. Maybe Yang Yan was really betraying, but he was tolerant enough that those princes were indeed guilty of death.Gao Leqi was not merciful, and he also knew that after losing these princes, it would be difficult for Tucker to stand up, but Tucker did not have to worry about living in fear like his father, and could spend his life safely, as long as he did not provoke Yang Yan and Gulthas again.

Just like Fish General Siro.I had already fought that battle, but due to luck and situation, I failed in the end, and I was lucky enough to save my life.

How to deal with this list now.Gao Leqi closed the door and planned to come back the next day.

The next day, Tucker shouted for a drink as soon as he sobered up from drunkenness. Gao Leqi had already ordered that no more wine should be given to Tucker. Tucker was losing his temper when Gao Leqi arrived.

"You have no time to get drunk." Gao Leqi said, "In two days, the priesthood will come to collect this white cloth. If you don't think carefully, you will lose all your relatives."

Tucker said depressedly: "Write down all the princes who did not participate in hoarding food."

"Arien, I hope you think twice." Gao Leqi said, "This piece of cloth is very small. If we write the names of those princes, there will be no space left."

"What do you mean?" Tucker asked.

"We have many choices." Gao Leqi said, "This can be a punishment list or not. You can consider something else, someone who is loyal to you..."

"If they are loyal to me, they won't help Healy!" Tucker jumped up, "They are not loyal to me!"

"Some are coerced, some are capable and powerful, and some are for your grace."

Tucker was still a little dizzy and didn't understand. Gao Leqi further explained: "After you give this piece of cloth away, you will be resented by almost all your relatives, and the gatherings at Arien Palace will no longer be lively. But this is also the reason why the prince The redistribution of power among people. Those princes who did not get the monopoly, why did they not get the monopoly? Most of them are too far away from you, or they are incompetent."

"You can choose to keep useful people instead of innocent people."

Tucker jumped up again: "So the people who have done nothing wrong and are loyal to me are going to die?"

"If you use a small pen and write smaller characters, you can write more than thirty names." Gao Leqi said, "You must think carefully. For example, all of Prince Hu Gen's sons can die, but some people do not have to die. I want you to think more holistically, not just the crime.”

Gao Leqi was afraid that Tucker would not understand, so he explained again: "You must decide whether to save innocent people, trusted people or capable people first. For example, Prince Tina, although he betrayed you, his family My son is very loved by the palace guards, I would suggest you write his name." This is a choice, about justice, selfish desire or reality.

"I hope Arien can think clearly about who will replace the dead prince. This is a very bad situation. All the princes know that it is Arien who decides the list, but this is also a good situation. As long as this list correct."

"In the future, the power of the royal family will be very concentrated, and such betrayal will never happen again." Gao Leqi said, "Gulthas is already very old, and the Son of God has just taken office. The Son of God and Old Sasi have different personalities. Unexpectedly Maybe it’s rare, but if it happens, it’s an opportunity.”

Tucker understood, but he was still struggling in his heart and couldn't make up his mind: "Gao Leqi, you come up with the list."

"Arien, you must do it yourself, just like the Son of God." Gao Leqi said respectfully, "If you want to continue to govern Batu, if you have other intentions, you must do it yourself."

"And I am your loyal subject, the chief consul, giving you appropriate advice."

■

The team of sacrificial guards went to Wang Qile's camp.Now Yang Yan's carriage is bigger than Arien's. It drives out from Nabu Batu and almost fills the road.

The scouts sent out have already informed Wang Qile to prevent the refugees from panicking when they see a large number of guards.Yang Yan changed his horse and came to Wang Qile's camp in person, accompanied only by Dion.

The group of refugees grew larger, and Yang Yan couldn't help but doubt Wang Qile's purpose. He had never figured out what Wang Qile wanted to do by gathering such a large number of refugees.

"You're here!" Wang Qile laughed loudly while sitting in the camp, pointing to a simple wooden chair, "Sit!" There was no trace of respect for the Son of God in his tone, just like he was treating an old friend.He noticed Dion behind Yang Yan and raised his eyebrows, showing great interest in this strong man.

"I'm here to thank you." Yang Yan handed the wine bottle to Wang Qile, "You helped me twice."

Wang Qile laughed boldly: "We are friends!"

The two touched the wine bottles and took a sip of wine.

"Although we are friends, I owe you a debt of gratitude." Yang Yan said, "Tell me, how do you want me to repay you?"

"Give me a piece of land, the land of refugees." Wang Qile said, "At least it is as big as this mountain."

"Refugees cannot own land." Yang Yan always remembered this rule, "But I can pardon you and arrange your life in Batu. I hope you can become my right-hand man."

"Pardon?" Wang Qile raised his voice, "What crime have I committed?"

"I don't know what crime you committed..."

"My crime is that I am a refugee!" Wang Qile asked loudly, "Because my parents are refugees, I was born a refugee! My grandfather was once a nobleman of Walter Batu and was exiled for committing crimes, but what crime did I commit? "

"That's why I want to pardon you..."

"Don't think that just because you put on the robe of the Son of God, you can speak with pity! Since God Sa wants everyone to believe in him, he will not allow people who are deprived of their faith in this world! The laws of the refugees are against the scriptures, especially against the scriptures. The teachings of the Tenges Sutra!”

Yang Yan was not familiar with the meaning of the scriptures, but he also heard the contradictions in them. Of course, he believed that the Priesthood would have its own way of interpreting the scriptures.Rather than debating scriptures, what was more important was that he saw that Wang Qile was angry. It was not his intention to make Wang Qile angry.

"Refugees don't need pardon!" Wang Qile said, "Refugees can survive on their own!"

"Naibuba has a larger territory. I can give you a peaceful life without being discriminated against or driven away, with food, and even respect." Yang Yan said seriously, "I want to form a team that belongs to I will leave my team to your command and only obey my orders."

"Only taking orders from you?" Wang Qile laughed loudly, "Why do you lead me because of your status as the Son of God?"

"I won't treat you like a subordinate. You are my friend. We live and die together, and we share difficulties." Yang Yan explained, "I want you and your men to live a better life."

"No need!" Gao Leqi replied decisively.

"Then what do you want?" Yang Yan asked directly, "I can't give you land, but I can protect you."

"I don't need protection, I want freedom!" Wang Qile stood up, and his tall figure immediately enveloped Yang Yan, "I, Wang Qile, only have the freedom to kneel down and worship God Sa!"

"You want to make yourself king?" Yang Yan heard what Wang Qile meant and felt that Dion behind him was on guard.

"That's right!" Wang Qile replied, "I want a territory that can take in refugees. Over there, I will be the king! If the nobles come to hunt again, I will send them back dead!"

Wang Qile's ambition is far greater than Yang Yan thought. He not only wants freedom, but also wants to be a king and the king of the refugees.Yang Yan finally understood why Wang Qile was able to gather such a large number of refugees, because the more refugees there were, the better they could resist the hunting of nobles and the attacks of the palace guards.In this way, it was no coincidence that Wang Qile appeared near Nabu Batu. After the news of Huck's pardon came out, a large number of refugees gathered near Nabu Batu. He came here specifically to summon the refugees in order to strengthen his team.

This is terrible. A piece of land that can take in refugees. How many refugees will this mountain attract and how many people will gather?Thousands of people, tens of thousands of people?And it is not under the jurisdiction of Batu.Yang Yan knew that this was impossible. Even if he agreed, Gulthas would destroy this team.

Yang Yan stood up and confronted Wang Qile: "You don't have that kind of freedom."

Wang Qile suddenly slapped a palm, and a strong pressure hit Yang Yan's face, and the wind from the palm forced him to breathe.Is Wang Qile's martial arts so good?No wonder he can command such a large group of refugees.

There was a loud noise, the palm wind stirred up, and it hurt to shave. Yang Yan even felt his hair flying high with the palm wind.Dion's giant palm blocked Wang Qile's attack, and both of them were shaken.

"Stop! Dion!" Yang Yan knew that Wang Qile only wanted to intimidate him. This slap was not aimed at his face, but such a provocation was enough for Dion to take action. Dion was defending his dignity as the son of God.

The refugees standing around immediately picked up their weapons and were on guard, and Wang Qile waved for them to sit down.

"I treat you as a friend, but you just want me to kneel down!" Wang Qile said, "You can get out!"

"You must surrender to me!" Even after seeing Wang Qile's amazing force, even when he was surrounded by refugees, Yang Yan still refused to give in. He wanted a team of his own, "Even if I don't let the Holy Mountain Guards annihilate them, You, I can also pardon all your men!"

"As long as I give an order, you will be left alone!" Yang Yan said, "I believe that most refugees would rather live in Batu!"

The refugees very much hope to be pardoned, otherwise they would not gather near Nabu Batu. As long as Yang Yan gives an order, the pardoned refugees will immediately join Yang Yan's camp.

Of course, Wang Qile knew that Yang Yan had the ability to take away everything he had collected with great effort. He glared at Yang Yan angrily. This look was very familiar to Yang Yan. Just two days ago, Tucker looked at him with such a look.

"Then I will recruit a new group of refugees who belong to me! As long as there are still refugees in the world, I can find people to follow me!" Wang Qile held his head high and looked down at Yang Yan, "Unless you have a way to make all five buses own it. The refugees all surrender to you!"

"By God Sa, I, Wang Qile, will only be the last refugee in the Five Dabadu to surrender!"

Yang Yan was silent for a while and sighed.After all, he couldn't hurt Wang Qile, although he knew he could, and he could even think of a way to catch Wang Qile - sending the Holy Mountain Guard to surround the mountain, recruit and pardon most of the refugees, and Wang Qile couldn't escape no matter how good his martial arts skills were.

But he would not treat his friends like this, and Wang Qile had no intention of capturing him.This man is forthright and magnanimous. He doesn't treat his friends in despicable ways, and he can't treat him in despicable ways either.

"I will not give you land." Yang Yan said, "But I will ensure the safety of this mountain. As long as you are in this mountain, Nabu Batu's holy mountain guards, palace guards, and sacrificial guards will not harm you until I Until you are called by God the Father.”

"Because I helped you? Is the Son of God repaying the favor?" Wang Qile sneered.

"Because you are my friend." Yang Yan said, "So I won't let you get hurt, only within this mountain."

It was not pleasant to become the Son of God of the Priesthood. Yang Yan could not get Tucker's understanding and could not convince Wang Qile. He felt that he had failed.The only happy thing was probably seeing Wang Hong's parents being taken to the priest's house. At least the family was safe, and Wang Hong was the person he trusted most now.

This power struggle has come to an end, and Wang Hong is relieved that he no longer has to be an enemy of the Priesthood. The only thing he worries about is following Huck to find his younger brother Wildfire.

"Are you ready for the Son of God?" Gursas asked kindly in the Holy Temple.

Yang Yan nodded, there was nothing to deal with for the time being.Tucker, Gao Leqi, Wang Qile, all the people who should be met have been met, and all the misunderstandings that should be met have been settled. Wang Hong... doesn't have to worry about it.

"Now, I will start teaching the Son of God the Fire God Scroll." Gursasi said, "Please study the Son of God seriously."
