Chapter 55: Kingship and Theocracy Collide Again
Shrine.
Zhang Xiaoxu stood up abruptly and said excitedly: "You mean, Li Yue'er has left the palace and is now in Yile Fang?"
"Yes, Ye Gucheng is also on the side. ”
Zhang Xiaoxu thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "How many guards are there around Ye Gucheng?"
"There are only a dozen people. ”
"Good. Zhang Xiaoxu was overjoyed and said loudly: "Inform the high priest and bishop, and immediately lead the golden group to arrest him." ”
"Yes. ”
Yile Fang.
The guard quickly went upstairs, and whispered a few words in Huangpu Hua's ear with a solemn expression.
Huangpu Hua was shocked in his heart, the commander actually came!
"Brother Huangpu, what's wrong?" Zheng Qi couldn't help but be curious when he saw this.
"The commander is here! That girl seems to be the commander's person!" Huang Puhua was extremely disappointed in his heart.
Zheng Qi was shocked and immediately looked away from the girl.
Ye Gucheng began to regret it, he shouldn't have brought Li Yue'er to watch the dance, the eyes of the surrounding crowd were too familiar to him, and he didn't know why, he didn't like the obsessive gaze of these people.
Li Yue'er still cheered and shouted heartlessly, and laughed like silver bells from time to time, completely unaware of it, which attracted the frequent attention of the people in the audience.
I can't dance this dance anymore!
Seeing that the watchman's eyes were never on her, the dancer was indignant and put away her dancing posture and left the stage for the next dancer.
The hasty ending on stage didn't cause a stir in the crowd, as if people had forgotten that the trip was for the dance.
Although some female relatives were dissatisfied with their husband's behavior, they had no choice but to sulk secretly.
A middle-aged man hesitated, but slowly got up from his seat and stepped forward. "See Commander-in-Chief. ”
Ye Gucheng suddenly didn't like it, and said indifferently: "Something?"
"The minister must have a seat, and it happens that there is something at home that needs to leave, if the commander does not dislike it, he can bend down and watch the dance music. "The middle-aged man understands people, knows that Ye Gucheng has no seat when he comes late, and wants to win favor with this.
Ye Gucheng's expression eased at this time, and then he said slowly: "No need, I was about to leave." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man said goodbye.
"Yue'er, let's go!" Ye Gucheng did what he said, he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.
Li Yue'er was looking at it, and couldn't help but plead: "Brother-in-law, let's watch it for a while!
"Don't look at it! If you like, I'll let them dance in the palace tomorrow for you. Seeing that Li Yue'er was still reluctant to leave, Ye Gucheng rolled his eyes and said indifferently: "Since Yue'er likes to watch, then you continue to watch here, I'll go eat something delicious first, and I'll pick you up later." ”
Li Yue'er was a foodie, and when she heard that there was something delicious, she didn't watch the dance anymore, and flew to Ye Gucheng and said, "Brother-in-law, I want to eat it too." ”
Ye Gucheng smiled with satisfaction and walked out of Yile Fang with Li Yue'er.
"Brother-in-law, where are we going to eat?" Li Yue'er's eyes lit up, and she seemed to be looking forward to it.
Ye Gucheng was about to respond, his face changed, and he looked sideways, not far away, a group of cavalry was galloping with hundreds of golden regiments.
The leader, dressed in dark golden robes, was apparently the high priest of the temple, accompanied by two red-robed bishops.
Wherever the clergy passed, the people knelt down one after another, which made Ye Gucheng very uncomfortable.
As he approached, the high priest grabbed the reins, glanced at Li Yue'er closely, and then said to Ye Gucheng: "The commander of Huaxia, the gods of heaven sent an oracle last night, and there will be demon girls in Huaxia country to disrupt the country. ”
Ye Gucheng's face turned cold, and he vaguely felt that the other party must be coming for Li Yue'er, and said slowly: "Who is the demon girl who is messing with my Huaxia Kingdom?"
"Li Yue'er, an evil woman from a foreign country, this woman recently performed witchcraft, and overnight from more than 10 years old and bizarre appearance to early 20s, intended to cause trouble to the commander's heart, disaster to the country and the people, the gods have sent a divine light in public to warn the commander, is it possible, the commander has forgotten?" The high priest deliberately raised his voice, which was intended to attract the attention of the people.
I have to say that the high priest really dared to make it up, and the people believed the words of the temple more than the rumors that Li Yue'er had created miracles.
"Ahh
"I also saw that at the beginning, she was only about 13 years old, why did she grow so big in a few days?"
"I said, how can a woman look so good, it turns out that she is a demon girl. ”
"Kill the demon girl and protect Huaxia. ”
The sound of discussion and crusade quickly erupted in the crowd, and all kinds of expressions came one after another, frightened, fearful.
Li Yue'er seemed to be frightened, and she pulled Ye Gucheng's arm to hide behind her, and her face became extremely pale.
Compared to Li Yue'er, Ye Gucheng's face is not much better! Although Li Yue'er's matter has been spread, only a few insiders in the palace know about it, and afterwards, he also issued a gag order, how did the temple know about it?
Xuanyuan Jing, as the head of the guard, knew how to judge the situation the most, and knew that he couldn't be good, so he whispered a few words to his subordinates on the side, and the latter left quietly.
The high priest saw that Ye Gucheng was silent, and he didn't say anything, and he was even more unhappy in his heart, the temple took people, and the kings of the past dynasties did not dare to stop it, but this Huaxia commander didn't eat them, and in annoyance, he shouted violently: "Take down the demon girl quickly." ”
The golden regiment received the order and stepped forward quickly.
"Who dare?" Ye Gucheng was suddenly furious, and said coldly: "Xuanyuan respectfully listens to the order. ”
"The subordinates are here. Xuanyuan Jing immediately agreed.
"Whoever dares to take a step forward will be killed on the spot. ”
"Yes. ”
Although there were only more than a dozen Xuanyuan guards, their momentum was not weaker than that of the Golden Regiment, and they stepped forward to form a human wall, protecting Ye Gucheng and Li Yue'er behind them.
If it was in the past, the people would have accused Ye Gucheng one after another, but now, the commander was no worse than the temple in their minds, and they were all silent for a while.
This scene, the high priest saw it in his eyes, and his heart was even more annoyed, Ye Gucheng is so popular, in the long run, the temple exists in name only, today, Li Yue'er must take it, otherwise, it will only make the people ignore their existence more and more. "The golden regiment listened to the order, quickly take down this demon girl, and whoever dares to stop the oracle will be killed on the spot. ”
"Yes. ”
Dozens of golden regiments drew their swords and approached.
Not to be outdone, more than a dozen Xuanyuan guards drew their weapons.
"The temple is really majestic!" Ye Gucheng smiled coldly, suddenly, his expression sank, and a kingly aura swept away, and he said sharply: "I, Ye Gucheng, swear in the name of the commander of Huaxia, if my guards are damaged today, I will step on the temple, and the people present today, who dares to do it, I don't care if your golden regiment or bullshit priests, they all raid the family and exterminate the clan." ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience changed.
Since the temple was founded, no king has dared to threaten it!
Ye Gucheng was the first! But no one would doubt the weight of his words.
The members of the Golden Regiment immediately looked at each other, not daring to continue to step forward.
Li Yue'er trembled even more in the face of the increasingly depressing atmosphere, and she couldn't wait for the whole person to stick into Ye Gucheng's body.
Seeing this, Ye Gucheng couldn't help but pat his hand and whispered: "Don't be afraid, Yue'er is not afraid! No one can hurt you." ”
The two sides were at a stalemate on the street, which made the people who knelt down and saluted bitterly, and their knees hurt and they didn't dare to get up.
"High Priest, I don't think Ye Gucheng is easy to deal with, otherwise, I'd better ask the sect master to come in person. The red-robed bishop on the side reminded in a low voice.
Although the high priest was angry, he didn't dare to really anger Ye Gucheng! Glancing sideways at the red-robed bishop on the other side, the latter understood and quietly retreated.
Ye Gucheng saw it in his eyes, and he didn't break it, and stood proudly.
At this moment, the patrol battalion came belatedly, but they did not step forward to take down the clergy, but chose to kneel towards Ye Gucheng.
The leader of the troops was a middle-aged man, facing the temple and the commander, he was in a dilemma, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Ye Gucheng knew that the status of the temple was deep-rooted, and the people living in the Western Regions Divine Prefecture might rebel against the royal power, but they would never dare to resist the divine power.
I have to say that Ye Gucheng's mentality has indeed changed a lot, if it was in the past, he would have been angry a long time ago, but now, he will think from the perspective of his subordinates.
"The commander of Huaxia. The high priest really didn't want to continue the stalemate, so he slowly opened his mouth and persuaded: "It is not easy for the country of Huaxia, and the temple has always supported it in accordance with the oracle. ”
"Demon girl chaos country?" Ye Gucheng smiled dumbly, and immediately, his face sank, and he said angrily: "I am the country of Huaxia and the people of peace and peace in the four seas, how can I say that the country is disturbed?"
"The gods have sent a warning, and the commander must be on guard, otherwise, the country of Huaxia will be in chaos in the future. "The patience of the high priest is getting worse and worse.
There is no excuse for the sin you want to add!
If you want to say that Li Yue'er is in trouble with Huaxia Kingdom, Ye Gucheng didn't believe it, and immediately, he went back angrily. "What does it matter to you whether the country of China is in chaos or not, my kingdom, I say it, and your gods have no right to intervene. It me off, and I make it unable to even be a god. ”
"Ye Gucheng, you dare to insult God?" The high priest was completely furious, and shouted: "Those who insult the gods will be killed, and the golden regiment will kill me all on the spot." ”
Hundreds of golden regiments stepped forward with murderous vigour, and their dull steps knocked heavily in the hearts of every citizen, causing bursts of strong panic, they didn't dare to imagine what would become if Huaxia really had no commander?
Dozens of patrol battalion members didn't dare to stay out of the matter at this time, and they all protected Ye Gucheng behind them, but compared to the golden regiment with a powerful aura in front of them, they seemed insignificant.
On the other hand, Ye Gucheng's face was calm, and he didn't seem to react to what the temple was doing, however, if you look closely, you will find that his eyes have become extremely sharp.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and two kings in one country.
For the temple, Ye Gucheng finally faced it squarely, now that he has a million male masters, the clergy dare to be so unscrupulous, I dare not imagine, if one day an accident happens to himself, wouldn't his descendants be completely reduced to puppets?
