Chapter 656: High Priest
Zhong Wenhuan then built the Shenxiao Temple, just when the weather was extremely cold, and the Southern Barbarians who died in the service were piled up, and the Southern Barbarians were overwhelmed by their suffering, but they were afraid of Zhong Wenhuan's power and army, and swallowed their anger, causing Zhong Wenhuan to be harmed for several years.

Perhaps because he did too many things that hurt heaven and reason, Zhong Wenhuan accepted more than a dozen concubines and did not give birth to a boy and a girl. In order to continue to break the incense, a few years ago, Zhong Wenhuan took a son from his cousin and changed his name to Zhong Jian. Zhong Wenhuan loves Zhong Jian very much, never disobeys, just like the meat of his heart. Because of Zhong Wenhuan's support, Zhong Jian also showed his true colors as a gentleman, bullying men and women, disregarding people's lives, and doing all kinds of evil, which can also be said to be windy and rainy.
A few days ago, Zhong Jian took a fancy to a Nanban woman and wanted to snatch it home, but the Nanban woman escaped and was captured by Zhong Jian, and the two attendants around the woman stopped him, Zhong Jian ordered all the evil slaves to rush up, beat one to death, and the other escaped with injuries. After Zhong Jian snatched back the Nanban woman, he had to make her *** who knew that the barbarian girl would not obey and die with a hairpin in her throat.
That night, Zhong Jian also died violently.
It turned out that this barbarian girl was the beloved daughter of one of the owner of the Eighteen Villages in Nanban, and had learned the art of witchcraft from the sorcerer in the village, and before she died, she had a grudge against Zhong Jian, causing Zhong Jian to die violently.
The owner of the village received the news and learned that his beloved daughter had been taken captive, so he hurriedly led the strong people in the village to save people. When he arrived in Shuzhou City, he learned that his beloved daughter had died, and under great mourning, he rushed to the Yamen of the Assassin Shi to beat the drum and shout for injustice, asking for an explanation.
Zhong Wenhuan was furious when he learned that Zhong Jian was killed, and at this time, someone came to report that the southern barbarians were shouting grievances in the yamen, and then ordered the officials to come forward indiscriminately and fight back, and the southern barbarians fought back on the spot under indignation, and the two sides confronted each other. Zhong Wenhuan ordered people to hold military talismans, and on the grounds that the barbarians gathered a crowd to rebel, he transferred troops to kill the southern barbarians.
The southern barbarians were defeated, and the owner of the village had to take people to flee Shuzhou, and returned to the cottage to convene the owners of the village to discuss revenge.
The owners of the eighteen villages had different opinions on this matter, and when they were discussing, they suddenly heard that the official army surrounded the cottage and asked the southern barbarians to hand over the owner of the village who fled back. The owners of the village were furious, and immediately hated the enemy, and the eighteen villages all pulled the flag and rebelled, respecting the leader of the Aconitum barbarian as the leader, and confronting the Tang army. All the roads into the Nanban cottage have been sealed, and the Nanban people hate the Tang Dynasty so much that it is no longer possible to enter the cottage at this time.
After listening to it, Zhang Baoer remembered the scene she saw downstairs in the distance, and it turned out that the gentleman was Zhong Jian. It's not a pity that Zhong Jian died, but he made such a bad situation.
Thinking of this, Zhang Bao'er couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, he cursed viciously: "Damn Zhong Wenhuan, if Xiaotong and they have three long and two short, I will definitely let him be buried with him!" ā
Uncle Hua asked anxiously, "Uncle, what should we do now?" ā
"I said, even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you have to break through!" Zhang Bao'er said with a cold face: "I don't believe it, the Southern Barbarians live in a vast area, and the officers and soldiers can block all the roads?" ā
ā¦ā¦
At nightfall, Zhang Bao'er, Jiang Yuqiao, Uncle Hua and Ying'er avoided the encirclement of officers and soldiers and dived into the depths of the mountain.
The Southern Barbarians basically lived in remote mountains, and it was not easy to find them. Zhang Bao'er and the four of them didn't know anything about the mountain, and only relied on the simple diagram that Jiang Yuqiao got from a friend to sneak towards the general direction.
In the middle of the night, they came to the middle of the mountainside, where there was a deep pool broken by a waterfall, and the water was particularly clear. The spring that flows down the mountain rolls over a boulder and swoops down into a deep pool, making a roaring sound.
Jiang Yuqiao took advantage of the moonlight, looked at the picture in his hand, and said to Zhang Baoer: "It shouldn't be far away, after crossing the river in front, you should go to the cottage of Wutouman."
They walked along the stream that flowed out of the deep pool, and the fruit stream converged into a river, and the banks of the river were lined with green hills, forming a wide channel, which was magnificent!
Looking further ahead, you can already see the lights of the cottage.
The cottage is very large, and the people live scattered, and the stilted buildings can only see the outline of the roof, far and near, connected together. Seeing everything in front of her, Zhang Bao'er's tiredness overnight disappeared, replaced by a kind of relaxation and anticipation.
Walking softly in the village of the Southern Barbarians, finally, they saw a large bamboo building with a difference in the village.
A few people lurked in the grass, carefully looking at the bamboo building in front of them.
The reason why it is different is that this stilted building has three floors, while other places have only two floors. Except for the roof tiles, the top and bottom are all made of cedar wood. The pillars of the house are chiseled with large cedar wood, and the columns are connected together with fir trees of different sizes obliquely through the straight sleeve. There are hanging towers around the house, and the eaves are turned up and turned up like wings ready to fly. The four walls of the house are slotted and inlaid with cedar planks, and the inside and outside are coated with tung oil, which is clean and bright.
There was a bonfire in the open space outside the building, and as they slowly approached, they found that the outside of the bamboo building was heavily guarded.
However, these people couldn't stop Jiang Yuqiao. He asked Uncle Hua and Ying'er to wait in place, and he took Zhang Bao'er to sneak up to the roof of the bamboo building.
They heard a quarrel coming from inside the bamboo building.
"The officers and soldiers have already been beaten to the ground by us, why don't we kill that dog officer now?" A voice shouted.
"That's right, let's go into Shuzhou City, kill all those Tang people, and see if they dare to bully us!" Another voice chimed in.
"What you said is good, what will you do after you conquer Shuzhou City? Datang's reinforcements are coming, can we resist it? An opposing voice argued.
"Yes, although they don't have anything to do with us now, there are many more Tang people than us, can we fight them?" Another voice was worried.
"The key is now, what to do now, we don't want to rebel, but what way can we go if we don't rebel? That dog officer is forcing us to despair! ā
"High Priest, let's listen to the High Priest's opinion!" One person said reverently, and everyone hurriedly agreed.
At this time, an old voice came: "It is unrealistic to fight, and rebellion is even more self-defeating." If we really want to rebel, when Zhong Wenhuan forced us to leave our hometown a few years ago, we rebelled, so do we have to wait until today? ā
It was obviously the high priest who spoke in the mouths of the people, and he paused and said, "I guess Zhong Wenhuan just wants to force us to rebel, and then justifiably exterminate us." His actions The Tang court definitely does not know, and the key now is whether to rebel from time to time, but how to let the court know about this matter and let the court deal with it, so as to solve the problem. ā
Zhang Bao'er couldn't help but nod secretly when she heard this, this high priest was very far-sighted, and he said the crux of the matter. If the imperial court really wants to exterminate them, it will be useless for them to resist, the key is that this matter was done by Zhong Wenhuan to deceive his superiors and subordinates, and the imperial court did not know about it.
