Chapter Seventy-Four: Frequent Good News
Helian Trap really dares to talk about it, and directly attacks the shortcomings of the boss in front of people. Stripped of the outspoken derogatory meaning, but what it actually means is that I want to go back to them. So how could the other ten people be unhappy.
"Do you want to go back?" the blue wolf looked at Helian Xiaojiang and asked unhappily. It seems that he had long expected Helian Xiaojiang to come out like this.
"Yes. Helian Xiaojiang nodded firmly.
"It's going to be dangerous, and there's no telling when you're going to be able to get home. "The blue wolf is not refusing, but stating the facts.
She had always been eager to go home, but after a little hesitation, she nodded again.
If "kindness" is the trait of the blue wolf, then "righteousness" is the merit of Helian Xiaojiang.
"Okay, go back. The blue wolf simply surprised Helian Xiaojiang!
Whatever the reason for the blue wolf to change his mind, his decision immediately inspired the ten people who followed silently. Just as the blue wolf said, "Okay, go back." At the moment of the three words, the quiet ten people burst out in unison with a joyful cry, which was deafening. The horses under their crotches were frightened and tried to flee, but the riders stopped them. Young and strong warriors are eager to go to the killing field with their brothers, to live and die together. Hungry for a glorious victory. Even if you are unfortunately defeated, you can be a solemn horse leather shroud for your most trusted brothers.
It only took two-thirds of the time to return to the original route without stopping. Back in the vast, thick, wildly growing field of weeds, of course, the group of them was long gone. Twelve men rode on their sturdy horses, wandering dazedly through the fields, searching for the footprints of their departure, hoping to discern the general direction.
But there is no clue at all, even the brothers who are familiar with Ren Zhong are at a loss this time.
It's a bit tricky.
It may be that he wanted to completely get rid of Xie Ancheng's fierce pursuit, and dozens of people in Ren Zhong's party hid their whereabouts more cautiously. Maybe it's a disguise, maybe it's a distraction, or maybe it's some other method, in short, it's cautious. Now the blue wolf, they really have no clue. It is hopeless to find and catch up with them.
……
Not far from the capital of the country of Wu.
This ancient capital city was also the best of the ten capital cities in the Kyushu mainland. It used to be so powerful, so prosperous, and so steep. Now, this ancient capital city is covered with a gray shadow, and it has long since lost its glorious days.
Inside the Wuxu Temple. Xie Ancheng sat on the golden dragon throne that had been passed down from generation to generation by the lord of the Wu Kingdom, his right elbow against his right thigh and forearm erected, his broad fingers against his forehead and frowning, listening to the messenger to deliver the good news ahead. His body size is medium and his facial features are ordinary, and the tailor-made black python robe and the golden dragon with gold embroidery thread on his body are lifelike, and he looks very majestic from the bottom up.
The ears were listening to the messenger's report, but Xie Ancheng's mind drifted far and far away unconsciously.
He is very, very dissatisfied with the status quo, this temporary throne has been sitting for more than 30 years, and he has not turned into a regular until now. It's not that he doesn't want to, Xie Ancheng is naturally eager to see through the position of the head of the country. The throne under the ass is not taken into the bosom and is taken for oneself, and it is not safe to sit. He had more than once proposed to hold a formal enthronement ceremony, but each time the courtiers opposed it. What to say: If the four sides are not stable, the people will not be happy to submit. If the enthronement ceremony is forcibly held, it is not in accordance with the law and reason.
In this way, he has not yet become the lord of the country.
Xie Ancheng's unhappiness has accumulated for thirty years, slowly fermenting and distorting. He was full of resentment and felt that everyone in the world couldn't get along with him, and it was he who mustered up the courage to kill the weak and incompetent former lord with a sword. He should be rightfully appointed to the position of lord of the country. But he didn't expect that after he did his righteous deeds, so many people would come to rob him of his credit, wanting to take a piece of the pie. Xie Ancheng naturally refused to let it.
Why?!
Xie Ancheng can ignore the officials and ignore the wishes of the people and insist on being crowned king, but what he can't resist is the way of heaven, and the invisible way of heaven in the Kyushu continent is what he fears and hinders him. Let him have to beat all his competitors, otherwise his end will not be better than the previous king.
Look, even the way of heaven can't get along with yourself. The whole world is against him.
The messenger below had good news, but Xie Ancheng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. The Messenger reported nothing but the number of thieves he had killed the day before yesterday, yesterday, and today. But the leader of the thieves didn't catch any of them, and they couldn't hurt their bones at all. What kind of good news is this! Xie Ancheng held his forehead and waved the messenger away in displeasure.
A well-known and unruly responsibility. An increasingly powerful mysterious force hidden in the western part of the country, so far it is impossible to find out who the leader is...... These crises have already been resolved. In addition, the birth of the treasure made him unable to rest day and night.
To say that Xie Ancheng's biggest advantage is that he occupied this ancient capital city and occupied the central power center first. The palace of the country of E is his, and the treasury is his. The officials who obeyed him were given official ranks, and all the heads of those who disobeyed him fell to the ground. But if the treasure is found by Ren Zhong or someone else, then his only advantage will be lost.
He wouldn't allow such a thing to happen!
A person in the huge palace came out to speak, and the tall beams were covered with cobwebs in the dark, and a gecko was trapped in it, and the black spider was slowly approaching. The previous time, an official who didn't know the current affairs stood up and said a high-sounding sycophancy, but he was pulled out by Xie Ancheng in a fit of anger and slapped fifty boards, and now he is still lying at home to recuperate from his injuries.
The ancient and empty Wuxu Hall was so quiet that you could hear even a needle falling on the ground.
Xie Ancheng was silent above the throne of the main hall, and the officials below did not dare to penetrate the atmosphere. After a long time, he suddenly announced to all the officials present: "In view of the fact that bandits have been so rampant in recent years, they have emerged one after another. There is a tendency for wildfires to burn and be blown by the spring breeze, and the general is considering a personal expedition. Gather all your forces and pour out to wipe them out at once. ”
His words were impassioned, and the decision was made hastily and unexpectedly. As soon as the words fell, there was an objection.
"General, never!"
An old voice sounded from the center of the Wuxu Palace, Xie Ancheng's eyelids jumped slightly, and the annoyance in his heart suddenly rose. It was Prime Minister Zuo, an old immortal, who was one of the officials who tried his best to dissuade him from ascending the throne.
"General, the army of the country of Wu has spent a lot of money in the civil war, the treasury is already empty, the people of the world are displaced and hungry, and our dynasty should have provided disaster relief and relief to the people. Now, on the contrary, it is a waste to pour the whole country's forces into continuing to expand the war. Moreover, if the soldiers of the court are dispatched, the country will be undefended, and someone will inevitably take advantage of the weakness. Please think twice before you act. Zuo Xiang's words were scorching.
