Chapter 1121 Chapter 1121: Fire burns the city (Part 1) [Happy Labor Day]
Wei Cheng said that Shen Tang was too petty to think this way.
"It's not that I can't afford to lose. If you lose, you lose. There's nothing wrong with admitting it." Wei Cheng has an eccentric personality, but his behavior can be called upright. "You let me and my uncle go. I can't even do that." Backstabbing thing.”
Shen Tang nodded meaningfully: "You really can't do it."
In other words, Wei Lou can do it.
If Yun Thanos PLUS Da wanted to destroy the world and make the fight between the two sides meaningless, she would not be worried about the uncle and nephew.
Although Wei Cheng's mind is empty, he is not stupid. He can hear Shen Tang blaming himself: "Whether you believe it or not, the Eternal Life Sect is just a thing to kill time. I don't have those hidden stakes." Contact if interested."
Shen Tang exclaimed, "There really are hidden stakes."
Wei Cheng: “…”
Shen Tang didn't push Wei Cheng too hard, lest the skeleton break his guard and get angry: "I don't care what wishful thinking you have in your mind. Next time you come over, remember to go through the main entrance and don't squat on the roof. I won't care this time. I won't care next time." Treat them like rebels.”
What's more, Shen Youli is still the "Heaven".
The flames in Wei Cheng's eyes beat irregularly, revealing a guilty conscience: "The Eternal Life Cult was founded to fool the gods out of boredom. I don't care about anything, and my uncle helps me take care of it."
The larger the scale, the more serious the distortion.
How dark the human heart is, how dirty the God who projects it is.
Wei Cheng: "You have to decide what to do with the Eternal Life Sect."
It is impossible for him to be loyal to anyone other than the late master. His uncle has always had objections to Shen Tang. Of course, they cannot help Shen Tang clean up this mess: "When heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to a man, he must first work **** his will and muscles. Hungry for its body skin…”
Isn’t it normal for her to work harder and suffer more?
Wei Chengdao: "Now that things have happened, we can only try our best to make up for it."
The doctrinal program of the Eternal Life Sect was all made up by Wei Lou.
Wei Cheng did not comment on this.
Wei Cheng asked back: "What if?"
Both uncle and nephew knew that this thing was a joke.
Driven by the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of these "believers", the Immortal Religion has rapidly expanded in scale, and many people have been promoted to "servants" and preached to ignorant people as "consecraters". The common people were not very literate, and the doctrinal programs they saw were only copies. How to interpret the contents all depended on the ability to "enshrine" them. It is inevitable that some "consecrations" will seek personal gain through teachings, deliberately misinterpreting the original meaning and bringing in private goods.
Several questions popped up in Shen Tang's head, and his look at Wei Cheng also became more subtle: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Shen Tang raised his eyes and responded calmly: "Reminder?"
The teachings that were passed down were far from the original ones, and some of the contents were even contrary to the original ones. It's not that his uncle Wei Lou didn't know this, but he didn't care and allowed the seed of the Eternal Life Sect to sprout and grow wildly. This example also aggravated Wei Lou's prejudice and disgust towards the cult - how many so-called gods are there who are not wantonly dressed up by folk believers? Rather than worshiping God, it is better to worship the human heart.
He came here this time just to see where Shen Tang's soldiers and horses were fighting, and how it compared with the former lord's military kingdom. He could have something to talk about with his uncle when he went back, and give Shen Tang a heads up on the way.
“Your way of making amends is to give a reminder?”
Wei Lou did not expect that Shen Youli would come out halfway.
No matter how ridiculous the joke is, if it is beneficial to oneself, it will be praised and vigorously promoted. Countless ignorant people follow it devoutly, and noble families, princes and nobles pretend to be ignorant, flocking to the Eternal Life Religion and willingly offering countless treasures as offerings. These people may not really believe in the Eternal Life Religion, but the doctrinal program is beneficial to themselves and makes it easier for them to twist the tune and straighten it out.
Shen Tang was almost speechless when he heard this.
Shen Tang took a few deep breaths, suppressed the urge to pick up the desk and smash Weicheng's skull, and raised his hand to point to the door.
Wei Cheng left some clues before leaving.
There are also differences within the Eternal Life Religion, led by several major families. They use their doctrines to fool the common people and at the same time fight against dissidents. Shen Tang will not show mercy when he encounters them. His uncle asked him to disclose these contents, and Wei Cheng felt it was unnecessary. Just looking at Shen Tang's thunderous tactics against the aristocratic families, one can tell what will happen to those families when Shen Tang expands his territory to the southwest...
Weicheng came and went in a hurry.
Hands and horses guarding Shen Tang were not even alerted.
“Southwest...it’s necessary to go there...”
Focusing on investigating the internal structure of the Eternal Life Religion, we may be able to use the teachings of the Eternal Life Religion to divide these forces and allow them to shoot themselves in the foot. Shen Tang lowered his eyes and thought. Unknowingly, the sky was turning white and the sun was rising.
As the three groups of soldiers and horses approached King Gao at the same time.
Letter of battle reports flowed into the court of the King of Gao, and were placed on the table of the new master. The new master was so anxious that he had blisters on his mouth, and his mood became more and more manic day by day. He often beat things and beat and scolded the palace officials. His roaring and cursing could be heard from far away, starting from the courtiers who complained of illness, and then to the generals who avoided fighting and disobeyed orders. When Mi came over, the ground was full of debris and there was nowhere to put his feet.
Seeing a familiar figure, the new owner reluctantly calmed down.
A feeling of grievance welled up in my heart: "Aniang..."
Mi looked at her son, who had aged more than ten years in just a short period of time, and felt regretful in her heart: "I heard from the palace servants that you haven't eaten for three days in a row, so you made your favorite for mother, try it."
The new owner shook his head: "My son is not hungry."
The fire in his heart caused burning pain in his internal organs, and he couldn't feel the hunger at all, but Mi Shi couldn't stand his insistence, so he could only endure the physiological nausea and took a few mouthfuls. Mi bent down and picked up the memorials scattered on the ground, reading the contents at a glance.
There is no good news.
Either this city takes the initiative to surrender, or that city is captured. The common people also compiled songs and spread them, applauding him and saying frankly that the new ruler was unfair and deserved it. The new master tried to hold the ministers who deliberately claimed to be sick to account, but as soon as he came to scare the monkeys, these ministers began to rely on their old age and handed over memorials saying that they were incompetent and wanted to resign. Those who resigned were not just one or two, but in groups, and it was obvious at first glance that they had been negotiated... No matter how many rescue measures the new owner took, he was still stuck in the royal capital.
Mi's face showed no signs of disturbance.
“What are you going to do?”
Defend the city or abandon it?
“No matter what you choose, I will protect you.”
The new owner was silent for a long time: "My son plans to send Aniang and his brothers and sisters out first. If Shen Youli doesn't kill the refugees, you can hide in the mountains and wait for the war to subside. When everything settles, you can contact your father. He I will not treat you badly.”
Mi was extremely dissatisfied with this arrangement.
She, who had always been gentle, showed a stern expression: "No!"
The new owner has an air of twilight all over his body. How can he be as high-spirited as he was on the day of the palace change? It's obviously only been less than two months.
He knew his mother's temperament, so he could only comfort her first.
He said: "Okay, I will listen to my mother-in-law in everything."
Mi's expression softened.
“My mother will always be with you.”
Mi's unwillingness to leave does not mean that she wants her other children to accompany her to death. She agreed to the new master's arrangement and sent her three children out of the capital in advance. The two differed only in timing. Mi said: "Which of these people in the court is not keeping an eye on the movements of the palace? If we send people away at this time, as soon as the front feet are sent away, the back feet will fall into their hands, so that they can use them to threaten us, mother and son."
It is safest to send them away during the chaos.
It’s not chaotic enough right now.
Neither mother nor son expected that the opportunity would come so quickly.
In other words, Shen Tang's soldiers and horses attacked too fast.
Kang's latest troops are less than a day's journey from the royal capital, and the royal capital only has the last defensive line left. According to the estimated strength of the defense line, it is estimated that it will not take more than two hours. Since receiving the news, the royal capital has been plunged into chaos, with people fleeing everywhere. Mi looked at the palace and made up her mind: "...Did the memorial mention that Shen Youli found a reason to imprison aristocratic families from all over the country?"
The new master said: “Yes.”
At this moment, mother and son had a good connection.
They reached a tacit agreement to expand the news and change the imprisonment to execution, in order to tie up every family in the capital and escape with them. Wu Xian left 10,000 elite troops in the royal capital and did not transfer them away. These 10,000 were the last troops that the mother and son could mobilize.
Time is tight, and many family belongings cannot be taken away at all.
Because of the shortage of chariots and horses, even a group of people had to be abandoned.
There was chaos inside and outside the royal capital.
The remaining descendants of the Mi family dressed up as refugees from the palace, mingled with the refugee crowd under the **** of their confidants, and left the city without anyone noticing. Mi and his eldest son were escorted by elites and fled together with a group of clan nobles, civil and military ministers and aristocratic families.
There were cries, curses, and the sound of horse hooves all the way.
Occasionally, women and children were kicked out of the carriage. The convoy could only carry limited belongings, so insignificant people would naturally be abandoned.
Mi Shi sat in the car and closed her eyes.
These movements reminded her of her early days of wandering.
There was only one sigh left: "Wandering around, there is no way to escape."
Mi had a subtle premonition that her escape was in vain. Thinking about it, she was not the only one to have this premonition. Many people also knew it, but their survival instinct made them take a chance.
What if?
If you can escape to a neighboring country, you may be able to seek asylum.
Although this will cause you to be dependent on others, it is better than losing your life.
After a while, the eldest son stooped and entered with a gloomy expression: "The pursuers didn't catch up, and someone set a fire before leaving."
Mi Shi was shocked: "Who released it?"
Most of the residences in the royal capital are made of wood, which is dry and flammable. With the current war and chaos, no one has the time to put out the fire. Even if Shen Youli was willing to put out the fire, by the time her troops arrived, the fire would be too big to control, and there were still many people in the city who had no time to evacuate! The wind helps the fire. I don’t know how many lives this fire can cost!
The eldest son glanced in the direction behind the team and remained silent.
Mishi guessed the truth at a glance.
She exhaled a breath: "You are really cruel!"
Have the courage to use a city of people to delay yourself.
It’s simply crazy!
Walking with this group of people, the safety of my mother and child is also at risk.
Not long after, someone in the escape team also noticed the orange-red color on the horizon behind them, and it felt like they were struck by lightning. They don't know who set the fire, but they only know one thing - they can't go back.
