Chapter 43: Loyalty and Betrayal
Chapter 43: Loyalty and Betrayal
It's all about being alive.
There are a lot of people who don't understand this, so they all die. Fang Sheng has always understood this truth, so he is still alive.
He almost forgot what the big guy who led him to join the Ming Sect was like back then, because in just two months, the big guy died, and he died very miserably, in front of Fang Sheng.
The big guy didn't even rebel, but just gathered the congregation to fight against the government, because of a small conflict in the village. But he shouldn't have provoked the banner of Mingjiao. Then, he was repressed.
At that time, Fang Sheng was young and vigorous, and he was not as calm as he is now, he originally wanted to follow the big guy to see the excitement. Fortunately, he has a grumpy father, and Uncle Fang was furious that day because Fang Sheng had knocked over a rice bowl, beat him up severely, and strictly forbade him to go out and be idle, he had to stay at home and chop all the firewood before he could go out.
Therefore, when the procession of the congregants passed by his house and wanted to go to the county government to seek justice for his companions, he was envious in his heart. Young people, calling friends and swaggering through the market, how attractive is that?
So he lay on the wall of his house, watching his companions feel excited, and he felt no regrets, and at that time he thought, how majestic it would be if he was also in this team. Then, soon he didn't think so, he just wanted to run away......
The officers and soldiers came, since they raised the banner of Mingjiao, that is, rebellion, in the face of rebellion, the Song army has always been much more fierce than in the face of foreign enemies.
He watched as the sergeants firmly surrounded hundreds of congregants in the square not far from his house, no matter how angry, desperate, and aggrieved those congregations were, these wound sergeants killed every active life with an indifferent expression.
As the boss of Mingjiao, he is naturally strong in martial arts. The big guy actually rushed out of the military formation alone, covered in blood, not heroic.
Fang Sheng watched this invincible big man rush out of the military formation like a god of war, just escaped a few steps, just touched the wall of the Fang family, and even saw Fang Sheng on the wall, he also gave a smile of surprise with a little comfort, and then, he was drowned by the arrow.
Countless bows and crossbows shot him into a sieve in just an instant, and the blood stained the courtyard walls of the Fang family red. Fang Sheng was stunned, this picture became his nightmare for countless years, until he was thrown down from the wall by the sergeant, he was stunned.
Abbot Fang didn't know what connection his son had with this evil sect, but when he saw the blackened blood stains on the outer wall, he jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, what kind of Mingjiao disciple can't die well, if he wants to die, he will die on his own wall, how unlucky is this......
At that time, Fang Sheng wanted to quit the religion at the first time, but the first rule of the Mingjiao doctrine is that no one is allowed to apostatize, and if he apostasy, the people of the Mingjiao in the world must go all out to hunt down and kill him......
Fang Sheng was very afraid, but he had to mix around in the church, participate in the activities of the church, eat vegetarian, pray, worship Zhang Jiao, and worship Mingzun. He was a little bit of a sensible person in the sect, and in such a group of low-class people such as farmers and splashers, he soon gained a lot of prestige.
He led the congregants to run the cult property, distribute the profits, and make a good living for many of them. Soon, he became the owner of incense in Muzhou. Then, his identity as introduced by the big guy was exposed, so he had more followers.
Although the big guy blew himself up, Ming Sect respected such a hero, and Fang Sheng was faintly the heir of the big guy, and his status was rising. In the past few years, Fang Sheng has managed well in Muzhou and Jiangnan, with many teaching properties and countless disciples, and he is faintly the first person in Jiangnan Mingjiao.
As a matter of course, he became the left envoy of light, that is, the first person in Jiangnan Mingjiao. The Ming Sect worships the Yellow Turban Heavenly Master Zhang Jiao as the ancestor and takes Ming Zun as the leader, so among the sect members, the Guangming Left Envoy is the first person in the sect and the actual leader.
In this way, Fang Sheng led the Jiangnan Ming Sect, and his momentum was extremely strong, and he took advantage of the civil turmoil to aggressively recruit the sect members, and there were tens of thousands of sect members all the way south of the Yangtze River under his command......
At the most glorious time, the four gates of heaven and earth, wind and thunder under him are all extremely capable generals, and Cao Yue, a strong auxiliary general, is the right envoy of light, which can really be described as infinite scenery.
But in the end?
Under the impetus of his subordinates, Fang Sheng had to rebel, but it was only a month, and the Great Sage Heavenly Army, which was invincible in the early stage, faced the counterinsurgency army led by Xie Lin, could not even hinder the speed of the other party, and quickly collapsed.
If it weren't for Fang Sheng's own preparation for defeat, the strong man broke his wrist and quickly got out, I was afraid that his whole family's grave grass would be so high now.
After the failure of the Great Sage Heavenly King's uprising, Fang Sheng had no ambition, he just wanted to live well, he suspended all his activities, and took Cao Yue and Sanwu henchmen with him, until Yu Niang disappeared, he didn't even have any kind of contact with any sect organization.
He thought that he could live in this way, but he didn't expect that some people didn't think so.
The tiger head was on Abbot Fang's side, Fang Sheng was not at ease after all, and secretly took the tiger head into the city two days ago. After so many days of contact with Fang Sheng, Hutou has slowly accepted this father, and now that he can enter the city to meet, he is naturally full of joy, and the two of them are playing and playing.
But Fang Sheng found that since the tiger head entered the city, he was targeted.
"Is it Zuo Yangfan's problem? Why is my son being watched? ”
Fang Sheng's heart was extremely angry, but now he was living in the Jiangling Ming Sect, and he was not as unscrupulous as he was when he led his cronies to the people.
Cao Yue lowered his head beside Fang Sheng and said in a low voice: "Heavenly King, recently, there are people around me who have been watching back and forth from time to time, could this Zuo Yangfan have a different heart?" ”
Looking at the figures in the courtyard, although Fang Sheng's face was gloomy, he was not angry: "I haven't torn my face yet, I don't know what the other party means, or I'm careless, I shouldn't let the tiger head enter the city." ”
He turned his head, looked at the most loyal subordinate, and sighed: "Back then, we were coerced by them, we had to rebel, and you and a few brothers accompanied me to wander the world, I really feel guilty in my heart, now that Yu Niang is dead, I just want to keep the tiger's head and rush out of this Jiangling Mansion, choose a quiet place in the future, and no longer pay attention to any affairs in the sect, you are willing to follow me, of course I am happy, if you still want to fight in the sect, then ...... I, the position of the left messenger of light, will be passed on to you in public tomorrow. ”
Cao Yue was immediately shocked: "How can the Heavenly King be like this? You are highly respected, and you are the head of the whole sect brothers, how can you easily pass on the throne? This matter needs to be considered in the long run......"
Fang Sheng's face sank a little more: "Are you not listening to me?" Or do I want to step down from the position of the left envoy, and you despise me? ”
After all, Fang Sheng has been in a high position for more than ten years, and under his anger, Cao Yue was also so frightened that he didn't dare to say more, just excused himself a few words, and planned how to get out with the tiger's head, so he left respectfully.
Watching Cao Yue bow and leave, Fang Sheng's eyes were gloomy. He never thought that even Cao Yue, a partner who had followed him loyally all the way for nearly 20 years, would betray him!
Cao Yue's personality is the most clear to him, and he is also a staunch rebel! His entire family was killed by the Song army, so he harbored a strong hatred! If the entire Ming Sect wants to overthrow the Song Dynasty the most, it must be Cao Yue. And he has a straightforward personality, never hiding himself in front of Fang Sheng.
But today, he lied. When Fang Sheng said that he wanted to pass on the throne to him, the greed in his eyes was simply overflowing, but he refused! This shows that he wants not only Fang Sheng's position, but also his life.
Don't delay, you have to go now!
