Zhang Jiao raised his hand to stop everyone from shouting, and shouted behind him: "Take the traitor Tang Zhou!" ”

After a short while, Tang Zhou was escorted to Zhang Jiao by several Taiping disciples, his face was dead, his eyes were dull, his lips were moving, and he had no energy at all.

Zhang Jiao glanced at Tang Zhou, who was tied up sturdily, and said coldly: "Tang Zhou, this seat treats you well, but you are treacherous, betray my Taiping Dao, and betray your brother!" Today, use your blood to sacrifice the flag to comfort the souls of your brothers who died unjustly! ”

Tang Zhou didn't say a word, didn't look at Zhang Jiao, his face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to hear Zhang Jiao's words.

Zhang Jiao waved his hand: "Hold on the altar." ”

Several men couldn't help but say, and escorted Tang Zhou straight to the altar.

Everyone held the torches high and glared at Tang Zhou with an angry face, their eyes were like fire, and they wanted to eat his flesh raw and crush his bones and scatter ashes.

At this time, Zhang Liang walked out and shouted: "Kill the traitor!" ”

The men echoed in unison:

"Kill the traitor!"

……

In the roar of everyone, the confused Tang Zhou couldn't help but have a trace of clarity, he slowly turned his head to look at the angry fellow people around him, and a trace of sadness and despair flashed in his heart: I have been busy for Taiping Road for more than ten years, not fighting for power or profit, conscientious, hard-working, I have no merit and hard work! You people who say they are my brothers, but now you want to put me to death! My life is at rest! Pathetic, alas!

Several men with yellow scarves on their heads put Tang Zhou on the altar, and tied Tang Zhou to a pillar with a thick bowl mouth, the pillar was wrapped in a yellow scarf, and a sheep's head dripping with blood was hung on the top, which was obviously freshly slaughtered.

Tang Zhou drooped his head, there was no struggle on the surface, but his heart was in a hurry, thinking about whether he had a chance to live.

Death is what Tang Zhou is most afraid of!

He was not reconciled!

Tang Zhou lamented in his heart: I haven't touched a woman yet, so I'm leaving?!

Tang Zhou couldn't help but sigh his bad luck - why did you let me go to Luoyang to contact Ma Yuanyi and the others! Why not let someone else go! Tang Zhou felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him invisibly, as if that person knew that he would go to Luoyang, and sent someone to hold the portrait and wait for the rabbit! Yes, I must have been betrayed!

As soon as he thought of this, Tang Zhou was activated at once, he raised his head suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Great sage and good teacher, Tang Zhou has a secret matter to tell!" ”

"Huh? ——" The corners of his eyes slanted slightly, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Everyone held their breath and opened their eyes to wait for Zhang Jiao to give orders.

Zhang Jiao walked forward slowly, came to the altar, and said in a cold voice: "What's the secret?" ”

Tang Zhou swallowed his saliva, and said a little anxiously: "The disciple went to Luoyang and was arrested, and now that I think about it, it is quite strange. ”

"What's the matter?"

"As soon as the disciple arrived in Luoyang, he was arrested by a group of officers and soldiers guarding the city gate!"

"What's the problem? You must have acted in a way that was not secretive, and you showed your feet! ”

Tang Zhou's eyes widened, and he argued: "The disciple hides his whereabouts all the way, be careful, and no one will find out!" It must be that someone around the great sage and good teacher leaked the news to the officials and soldiers! ”

"Hugh is babbling! Only the second and third brothers know about this, and they will never do anything like that! ”

"Then ......" Tang Zhou was speechless, quickly weighing the possibility of Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang betraying him, and after thinking for a long time, he himself felt that it was impossible for the two doctors to leak the news, and muttered, "What's the matter?" Who betrayed me......"

"Tang Zhou, I thought that you were a disciple of this seat, so I would save you a little face, otherwise it would not be such a beautiful way to die as a sacrificial flag! Hugh is going to talk nonsense again, get ready to hit the road! After Zhang Jiao finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Zhou coldly, turned to face the crowd, raised his hand and pointed at Tang Zhou behind him, and said: "Since the birth of my Taiping Dao, no one has betrayed the scriptures, and I am very relieved!" However, the disciples of this seat have been the first to betray people, and this seat does not know anyone, so it is difficult to escape the blame......"

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang listened to Zhang Jiao's words, their faces were full of astonishment, the two glanced at each other, jumped out of the crowd, and said: "Tang Zhou's matter has nothing to do with the eldest brother!" ”

Zhang Jiao glared at the two younger brothers who were stupid, and said in his heart: Wait for a certain person to finish speaking, why did he jump out so early?

Zhang Jiao raised his hand to signal the two of them to shut up, and continued: "This seat is not caught, and it is not worthy of the position of the leader of my Taiping Dao, so I should abdicate and let Xian show the same crime!" After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang who were kneeling on the ground.

As if they hadn't heard Zhang Jiao's words, the two lowered their heads and didn't say a word.

Zhang Jiao: "......"

At this time, Tang Zhou behind him spoke: "There must be rebellion around the great sage and good teacher, please find out this person quickly and give the disciple justice." ”

Zhang Jiao turned around and glared at Tang Zhou, gritted his teeth, and revealed a sentence from between his teeth: "Dare to quibble when death is coming!" Come on, slap your mouth! ”

Five or six men and women on the side of the altar rushed up and rushed to Tang Zhou's side with a burst of slaps and punches and kicks.

Tang Zhou was beaten so much that his eyes were full of stars, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he said vaguely: "The disciple is not convinced!" The disciple disobeyed ......"

Several men were red-eyed, and when they heard Tang Zhou say "unconvinced", they couldn't help but stiffen their hands and feet, and they beat them again.

Zhang Jiao didn't turn around to look at Tang Zhou, and said softly: "This seat wants to abdicate and make way for Xian, I don't know what the two great doctors think?" ”

Zhang Bao heard Zhang Jiao's inaudible voice, he was stunned at first, and then reacted, he pulled the corner of Zhang Liang's clothes, and shouted loudly: "Great sages and good teachers can't!" ”

Zhang Liang also understood, and shouted: "Big brother, don't!" ”

Zhang Jiao nodded and smiled slightly: "Why not?" ”

Zhang Bao got up and saluted, facing the men who were stunned all around: "The great virtuous and good teacher entered the world with the immortal book to save the people of Limin, more than ten years like a day, deeply supported by the people, and now the incident is imminent, it is the time when I need the great virtuous and good teacher in Taipingdao, if the great virtuous and good teacher abdicates, the Taiping Dao will be unled and will no longer exist!" ”

Zhang Jiao glanced at Zhang Bao approvingly, did not say a word, and waited for Zhang Liang to speak.

Zhang Liang followed Zhang Bao's example, and said to everyone: "What does Tang Zhou's betrayal have to do with the great sage and good teacher? The brothers need the great virtuous teacher to lead the brothers to kill the corrupt officials together, if the great virtuous and virtuous teacher abdicates, I will be peaceful! ”

Seeing Zhang Liang finish speaking, Zhang Bao raised his hand at the crowd and shouted: "Always be loyal to the great sage and good teacher!" ”

The crowd was silent for a moment, and then shouted, "Always be loyal to the Great Sage and Good Master!" ”……

Zhang Jiao smiled with satisfaction, raised his hands and pressed down: "It's hard to disobey the will of the people!" This seat has no choice but to take the position of leader temporarily. After speaking, he turned around and glanced at Tang Zhou, who was beaten, turned around and said loudly, "The sacrifice flag begins!" ”

As soon as Zhang Jiao's voice fell, five or six men put away their fists and feet, returned to the edge of the altar, and looked at Tang Zhou, who was not human.

Zhang Jiao took the nine-section talisman staff and came to Tang Zhou's side, dancing with his hands...... In front of the crowd, more than a dozen men walked up to the altar in turn, formed a circle, and followed Zhang Jiao's footsteps, swaying left and right in the same way......

At the time of half the incense, Tang Zhou, who had a blue nose and swollen face, woke up slowly, and saw a circle of people surrounding him, holding torches in his hands, and chanting words in his mouth, Tang Zhou's heart tightened: Not good! This is......

Death is at hand!

Tang Zhou was activated again, and he opened his mouth full of blood and shouted, "Great Sage and Good Teacher! The doctrine says that if a follower of the Taiping Tao commits a mistake, he can be forgiven as long as he bows down before the leader, admits the mistake, and promises not to commit it again. ”

When Zhang Jiao heard Tang Zhou's words, he stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Take the knife!" The other men also stopped and stepped aside.

As soon as Zhang Jiao's voice fell, a man quickly jumped onto the altar and presented a broad-faced broadsword with a rough texture.

Zhang Jiao took the broad-faced knife and snorted coldly: "You still have the face to mention the doctrine!" The doctrine is still cloudy, and you must not do anything that is not conducive to my peaceful way, otherwise you will never be spared! ”

Tang Zhou argued: "What Tang Zhou did may not be unfavorable to my Taiping Dao, and I ask the great sages and good teachers to listen to me." ”

"Nonsense, if you hadn't told the truth, how could so many brothers have died?"

"What if I say they're the real traitors?" Tang Zhou saw that there was no hope of survival, and began to talk nonsense.

"Haha! When am I a three-year-old? Less nonsense! Zhang Jiao slanted at Tang Zhou and said coldly, "If you have the heart to repent, go to Taiyi Ancestor to repent." After speaking, he raised his knife and cut off Tang Zhou's head with a knife, and then raised the broad-faced broadsword and shouted, "The righteous army will win!" ”

Seeing Tang Zhou's head fall to the ground, the people below shouted in unison as if they had been beaten with chicken blood: "The righteous army will win!" ”

"The rebels will win!"

……

After a while, Zhang Jiao looked at the ten thousand disciples who were in a state full of blood, raised the nine-section talisman staff, and pointed at it from afar: "Tonight, it is the auspicious time for the incident, and the general of the earth and the people will listen to the order. ”

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang came to Zhang Jiao, landed on one knee, and arched their hands:

"Zhang Bao is here!"

"Zhang Liang is here!"

Zhang Jiao's face was solemn, and he said loudly: "You must capture the county government tonight, after the matter is completed, General Digong will rush to the direction of Yingchuan, and General Rengong will rush to the direction of Nanyang, lead the righteous army, and adapt to the situation!" ”

"Yes!" The two of them answered at the same time, got up and walked towards the eager men......

……

Listen to the front yard of the Wind Pavilion.

Pei Yuanshao took a stack of drawings from Liu Zhan's hand and asked in a daze: "Lord, these weapons look very strange, I don't know if they are good or not?" ”

"Haha! Yuan Shao rest assured, these weapons are absolutely easy to use, and they are a necessary good soldier for killing people and goods! Liu Zhan smiled, took out the drawings again, pointed to the top of the drawings and said, "Yuan Shao, come and see, this is a Mo knife, which can be used by the infantry, it is extremely powerful, it is the nemesis of the cavalry, it can cut the legs of the horse, the head of the person, and it can also strangle the opponent's infantry when charging into battle. ”

"That's amazing! Shao has never seen this style of weapon! ”

Liu Zhan then explained the armor, arrows, three-edged daggers and other weapons one by one.

Pei Yuanshao was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his admiration for Liu Zhan was like the water of the Yangtze River.

After talking about this, Liu Zhan said: "Build 100 pieces of each kind and send them in batches, and you will be able to use these soon." ”

Pei Yuanshao didn't know what Liu Zhan was doing with so much equipment suddenly, so he answered and went to order weapons and armor......
