Li Xiang just put on a show, plus a speech, and the rebellious army was crushed. But it is also impossible to catch all the real rebels by the soldiers anyway. The rebels were all officers, whose strength was not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers, and without the command of officers, relying on the spontaneous actions of soldiers alone, it was impossible to exert the full strength of the army, and of course it was impossible to stop the officers who fled.

Li Xiang's captain of the guard wanted to help, believing that with their help, these guys would definitely not be able to escape. But Li Xiang waved his hand to prevent them from moving, and watched more than a dozen people escape. Although the captain of the guard was puzzled, he had already been surrendered by Li Xiang and resolutely carried out Li Xiang's order.

After the chaos in the garrison was over, Li Xiang ordered the captain of the guard to lead his guards, reorganize the army, and temporarily serve as officers at all levels in the army. Dozens of guards were added, and the army was quickly restored. In particular, the strength of the guards is much stronger than that of many junior officers, so the overall combat strength of the army has risen instead of decreasing, and it can barely be regarded as a strong army.

After the army was sorted out, Li Xiang waved his hand and said, "Follow me to catch the fleeing rebels!" ”

Li Xiang took the lead and led the army away. They said they were going to arrest the rebels, but those people had already disappeared, where to arrest them? However, what none of them expected was that Li Xiang actually took them to the largest church in the city and ordered the church to be surrounded.

Chris and Eric and the other six people who learned martial arts from Li Xiang were not incorporated into the army, but continued to follow Li Xiang as guards. At this time, seeing Li Xiang surrounding the church, Chris couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, are all those fleeing rebels hiding here?" But even if we really hide here, we can't act rashly, if we move the church, we will cause a big disaster! ”

Li Xiang smiled disdainfully and said, "What disaster? Only allow them to rebel, and we are not allowed to arrest people? How can there be such a truth in the world! Moreover, the power of the Cult of Creation God is too great, the clergy do not have to pay taxes, the church does not need to spend money on land, the church can run a commercial house, and it also does not have to pay taxes, in turn, the treasury pays them an annual tribute, and even the king has to be crowned by them, the pope's order is higher than that of the king, is the king their steward? ”

Chris understood what Li Xiang meant, this is to take the opportunity to attack the authority of the church. This is a dangerous move, and it is not in history that no one has rebelled against the church, but none of them have ended well. Now that Li Xiang has also embarked on this path, Chris, who has just made up his mind to follow Li Xiang, regrets it a little.

However, thinking that in the past three months, most of the criminal evidence found by Fei Phillips was done by officials and clergy, and he also felt that the church was not as holy as he used to think, but on the contrary, it was very dirty and despicable, and such a church should indeed be eradicated. So he threw the thought of regret behind his head and decided to go on with Li Xiang! Although Li Xiang's decision is very unwise, Li Xiang has already shown inhuman talent before, maybe he can succeed.

With so many troops arriving, it was certainly impossible for the people in the church not to know, and soon someone opened the door of the church, and a priest wearing a black robe with an icon around his neck came out, and said with a kind face: "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived, and I am Father Herris, welcome to your arrival." It's just that why did His Royal Highness the Prince come with so many troops? ”

Li Xiang rode on his horse, looked at him condescendingly, and just nodded slightly: "Hello Father Herris, I came this time to hunt down a few traitors who intended to assassinate me. They've taken refuge in your church, and I'm going to take people in and get them all out!" ”

Father Herris shook his head and said, "Your Royal Highness, you know that the church is sacred and cannot be desecrated. I'd welcome you to bring in with only a few followers, but it's not okay to let your army come in and search! Also, I've been in the church all the time and haven't seen anyone enter, are you mistaken? Or maybe someone has deceived you. ”

When the dozen or so officers fled to the church, there was really no one to follow them, so Father Herris was very sure, and Li Xiang did not dare to guarantee that those people were in the church. As long as he is scared, Li Xiang can only retreat, otherwise he will blaspheme the church and blaspheme the gods.

It's a pity that he didn't know that Li Xiang's Tianyantong had already locked on those guys, and saw that there were other criminal evidence hidden in the church, how could he be scared away by him with a few words? Li Xiang shook his head and said, "Father, I'm very sure that those people are hiding in your church. If you don't let me search, you'll be suspected of being in the same party as the traitor. I advise you not to stop me, otherwise you can't afford the consequences! ”

Herris decided that Li Xiang was lying and threatening, and said without flinching: "Your Royal Highness Prince, the church is a place to serve the gods, I am a servant of the gods, and I will never let people blaspheme the gods!" If you must search, please step on my body! ”

Herris said this, and it can be said that his attitude is very tough, but he didn't expect Li Xiang to say: "Okay, as you wish." Then he urged the horse forward, and really wanted to step over him. This frightened Herris, who wanted to turn around and run away, but was afraid that Li Xiang was just scaring him, so he hesitated and didn't move.

Li Xiang really didn't scare him, he rode a horse and ran directly into it, without any intention of slowing down. Until he was about to collide, Father Herris couldn't hold it anymore and hurriedly crawled out of the way. Li Xiang passed by him, sneered at him, and said, "Father, you are very devout to your gods!" ”

Herris's face turned red and he shouted, "You can't go in!" You are blaspheming by doing so, and the church will not let you go! Not only you, but also your father, your brothers and sisters, will be left on the throne and reduced to slavery! You...... Yes! ”

Before he could finish speaking, Li Xiang whipped him with a horsewhip and slapped it in Herris's face, making him scream. And Li Xiang's face also turned extremely cold, and said: "Just because you are a little priest, you dare to say that you will reduce our family to slaves?" What kind of thing are you? Come on, search carefully for me! Don't let go of any corner, and all the possessions you find will be yours! ”

Hearing the last sentence, the soldiers' eyes immediately turned red! Everyone knows that the clergy are very wealthy, and the priests who are higher than the ordinary clergy are even more rich. Li Xiang allowed them to put the searched property into their pockets, which was simply the rhythm of robbing a big household, so what are you waiting for? All the soldiers cheered, pushed away the priests and priests, who usually did not dare to move a single hair, and rushed into the church in a frenzy.

Herris was just the opposite, and when he heard Li Xiang's last words, he immediately screamed in fright: "No, no! You can't do that, you are blasphemous, you will be burned to death! I command you all to stop! ”

It's a pity that no one listened to him at this time, and thousands of people poured into the church, and it was enough to respect him if they didn't trample him to death. As for being burned to death or something, there is His Royal Highness the Prince in front, even if they want to be burned to death, they have to burn the prince first, which onion are they? If you don't rush in at this time, you're a fool!

With so many soldiers pouring into the church, no matter how large the church is, there is no way to find any secrets. It didn't take long for the officers who were hiding in the cellar to be discovered and a fight broke out. It's just that the soldiers are busy looting their belongings, and there are almost no people who are willing to desperately arrest the traitors, and they let these dozen people break through the barriers of thousands of people and escape from the church.

Li Xiang first motioned to Chris and the others, and asked the six of them to go with the captain of the guard to arrest the fleeing rebels, and then glanced at Herris and said, "What did you say just now?" There are no outsiders here? Now what else do you have to say? ”

Herris couldn't care about the fellows anymore, just sat on the ground, stared at the tumultuous church with godless eyes, and muttered, "It's over, it's over!" It's all over! ……”

He said that it was not just that he was found harboring rebels, and it was not just that all his savings were robbed, but there were other things. Soon someone exclaimed, it turned out that in a basement, dozens of naked women were found! Coincidentally, among the soldiers who found this basement, someone who knew one of the women exclaimed, "Mary, why are you here?" Aren't you missing on your way home from worship? ”

It turned out that this woman, named Mary, was the new wife of the soldier's neighbor who had just returned from out of town. She was a devout believer and came to church every week. And less than half a month after she returned here with her husband, she suddenly disappeared. I've been looking for three months, but I didn't expect to be locked up here. With shackles on his body, he was scarred all over his body, and his eyes were glazed, and he didn't know how to avoid even if there were many strange men in front of him.

The soldiers were furious at the sight of these women! They had all heard of the rebellion in their province because the clergy had colluded with officials to rob the people's daughters, forcing them to rebel. They thought that it was the priests in remote areas who thought they were the emperors of the soil, so they were so unscrupulous, but they didn't expect that the churches in the provincial cities were the same, but they were more secretive.

At this moment, the soldiers were furious, and their eyes became fierce when they looked at the priests and priests. In the past, when searching for belongings, the priests were only pushed away, trying not to hurt them. It's different now, I'm not so careful, but I deliberately increase the force, and even after pushing them, I pretend not to pay attention to stepping on a few feet. The frightened priests who were desperately trying to stop just now even rolled and crawled away, lest they be trampled to death.

Chris and the others made a move, and soon arrested more than a dozen officers who were just trying to escape and had no intention of fighting, just in time to see more than a dozen women who were taken out of the church gate. They immediately understood what was going on, and when they looked at Father Herris again, their eyes changed. Chris, in particular, strengthened his belief in following Li Xiang. This church is rotten, and it's time to eradicate it! (To be continued.) )
