Chapter 459: The Power of Rumors
When Duanxu mixed into Mangsheng City, there were still four days before Yue Qi set out on the expedition.
And he spreads rumors, and the core is only three sentences.
First, the dynasty ordered Yue Qi to come to conquer Tu this time, that is, to take away the throne of the Ao clan who are tired of Tu and return the entire territory of the Tu Kingdom to the disposal of the dynasty; second, Wei Yu has already secretly taken refuge in the Yue Qi Kingdom; third, when the Yue Qi army comes, all the courtiers who fought for King Mao, as well as all the families that have raised Ye Xiu as puppet domestic slaves, will be arrested and sent to the criminal department and imprisoned in the heavenly prison to be punished; all the courtiers who do not work for King Mao will have the opportunity to go to the Shengxian Pavilion or Tongmu Pavilion of the Heavenly Prison Division to cultivate.
Duanxu went in and out of the restaurants and qufang in the prosperous city, performed disguise spells, constantly changed his appearance, and even pretended to be the top brand in the qufang, specifically picking on those high-ranking officials and dignitaries who were tired of Tu Guo, and came over to play the piano for them.
He used almost the same routine, always playing one or two pieces first, and when all the people present were completely immersed in his piano sound, he said seemingly casually:
"The slave family heard ~, in a few days, it will be the day when the Yue Kingdom will send troops to attack us, alas~~ Look at the bearing of this son, it should be a general, why don't you let the slave family be the master, how about playing a song "General Xing" for the gong? ”
At this point, someone in the room will definitely ask, "Oh? Who are you listening to?"
Duanxu would say: "The slave family heard from the people of General Wei's Mansion after drinking, and when they talked about these things, they did not hide it from the slave family, so it must be known to everyone in this city." ”
With such a beginning, he will slowly leak out the rumors he wants to put out without saying a word, and after a few songs, what should be said will be finished. Every day, he can at least blow these gentle words into the ears of more than a dozen groups of guests.
Due to the heavy weight of the rumors, two or three days later, the rumors in Mangsheng City spread ten, ten and hundred, and all the civil and military generals, nobles of the family, and even ordinary people, all knew about the rumors released by Duanxu.
People can no longer figure out where the source of the news comes from, and these messages are passed on to each other repeatedly, more vividly, more vividly, and more weightily.
On the third day, many "adults" came out one after another to walk around and meet together, and even those "adults" who usually did not like to go out to meet guests and devoted themselves to cultivation flew out of their deep mansions or secret realms in the caves and flew to the lively places in the city to inquire about the news.
As a result, the major restaurants, tea shops, music workshops, and art galleries in Mangsheng City were suddenly all overcrowded, and all of them were officials and nobles with status, and they were more lively than usual in the court, so that ordinary rich people in white bodies stood at the door of Qufang and did not dare to go in to spend money and drink tea.
At this point, there is no need for anyone to give them a talk, and those adults meet and talk, and as soon as they sit down, they can't wait to talk about the rumors they have heard in the past two days.
"I heard that the news from the dynasty side is very bad for me this time. ”
"That's right, the Holy Emperor's intention this time is clearly revealed, that is, to destroy the country of my disgust, and when the time comes, I am afraid that all of you will not be spared. ”
"In the past two days, this matter has been discussed everywhere, and the Holy Emperor's intention is very clear, but I don't know if the other news is really true?"
"Yes, is the source reliable?"
"Whether it is reliable or unreliable, things without a shadow will not be so true, in my opinion, it is better to plan early, don't wait for the Yue Kingdom to press the border, our king (King Mao) has begun to send troops, and you still haven't even made up your mind. ”
"Well, that's right, no matter where the news comes from, since there is wind to release it early, just believe it, don't wait for the envoy of the dynasty to come and announce the news, at that time, people who don't plan in advance should be dumbfounded. ”
……
And Duanxu is still haunted by virtue of the magic of ghost cultivation, playing the piano everywhere, and when he hears someone talking about the rumors he released, he will deliberately guide a few more words, adding some oil and vinegar without a trace.
It is the so-called, to confuse people with piano music, and to fan the flames with words, lest the country is not chaotic enough.
……
Lord A's opening remarks are still the same: "Look at the meaning of the Holy Emperor, I am tired of Tu Tu this time." ”
Lord B said with a sad face: "I heard that all the people who have raised wild cultivators will be arrested and disposed of by the criminal department, and they will be locked up in the 'No Cultivation Heavenly Prison', and the whole clan will be implicated. ”
General C asked, "I don't know, what's the difference between this uncultivated heavenly prison and a heavenly prison?"
General Ding said: "There are several prisons in the dynasty, and most of the vassal states also have prisons, but the uncultivated prisons are very special and mysterious. ”
Lord A gasped and said: "According to reliable sources, this time the Yue Kingdom came to conquer my disgusted Tu Kingdom, and anyone who obeyed the orders of our monarch and led troops to resist the king of Xuan will all be arrested and sent to the dynasty's criminal department to fight against the dynasty's envoys, and then they will also be imprisoned in the Wuxiu Heavenly Prison. ”
General C asked, "How is this good?"
Duanxu was beside him, and persuaded while stroking the qin: "The slave family has also heard a lot of news in the past two days, according to the slave family, several adults have not raised wild cultivation before, so, when Yue Yu called this time, several adults should not listen to King Mao's words, don't fight for King Mao, won't there be nothing?"
General Ding snorted disdainfully: "It's easy to say, there is a saying since ancient times, the king lets the minister die, and the minister has to die." ”
General C: "However, this time it is not a matter of life and death, but it may end up worse than death, not only is it as simple as dying in battle, but even if you die in battle, you will not get any honor." ”
Lord B said, "Yes, if the country does not exist, how can we talk about the merits of war and the glory behind us?"
The four adults sighed with emotion, and Lord A said: "I also heard that people who have not raised Ye Xiu and do not contribute to King Mao can be taken to the Ascension Immortal Pavilion or Tongmu Pavilion of the Heavenly Supervisor Division to protect them, or move to the imperial capital, and they can lead the dynasty's Yulu every month and devote themselves to cultivating and ascending to immortals. ”
General C asked, "Is there such a good thing?"
Master B said, "I've heard about it too, and everyone can have a separate cave retreat, so they don't have to worry about the world." ”
General Ding asked, "Is the news really true?"
Master B said: "It should be true that there have been such rumors for the past two days, and it is impossible for rumors to come out of thin air, there must be some rumors, and in any case, it is better to believe than not to believe." ”
The two generals C and Ding were silent for a moment, and General Ding slowly spoke: "What should I do?
Duanxu stroked the qin beside him, and casually took over and said: "The adults will not get sick from tomorrow, or say something about the cultivation of the family, etc., the slave family does not understand the cultivation of adults, but the adults can make up a decent lie, and they should be able to hide it." ”
General C patted his thigh and said, "It's still this sister Bingxue who is smart!"
