Chapter 173: An Unshakable Faith
At the end of the night, Xia Feng was about to leave when he was stopped by a team of royal guards.
"Your Highness, please stay! Your Majesty has ordered you to rest in the palace. The chief guard said respectfully.
This is not enough to be grounded in the state guesthouse, but also to imprison him in the palace!
"Then bother everyone. Xia Feng politely replied, "Please lead the way!"
"Your Highness, please!" It was the first time for the chief of the guard to see a nobleman with such an easy-going attitude, and his tone was unconsciously lightened.
"Can you get my guard back and report a message?" Xia Feng said again, "He's the head of my guard, and there's still a lot of work for him to go back to." โ
The attitude is so good, he actually explained so much to his little head of the guard.
"Of course, Your Majesty just asks you to stay, and the others please do it!"
"Thank you!" Xia Feng smiled, and explained a few words to Zachary before letting him go back first, what he said was the truth, so there was no need to hide anything, so many people were all restrained by Charles alone, he was only a civilian, it was really unrealistic.
In the early morning of the fifth day, the strange 'truth magic' suddenly reappeared, and when everyone thought it was over, it spread over the city again, once again shrouding the city in a terrifying colorful dream, again and again, no one suspected that it was a prank, and the accumulated dark emotions erupted with several times the power of the previous one, and it was even more unimaginable that this time the magic was no longer presented in words, but in images.
Starting from the lord of Gude City, several successors who died violently one after another staged the most cruel human tragicomedy, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, killing innocents, robbing and raping, and bullying the weak...... There is visual evidence of the time when things were done, there are bodies that have been dug up, and there are victims who are still suffering...... Everything is shown to the world in the form of images without mercy.
The old people scolded that the bastard world was as dark as ever, that the men took up arms and that they could not find their enemies but began to fear the future, that the mothers blocked the children's sight and tried to protect their pure hearts but could not stop their cries, that the students protested loudly and demanded that the rulers punish the criminals severely, even if they were dead, that the merchants counted their belongings and cautiously contacted the fastest way out of the city, the countryโ
There were a large number of people gathered in front of the Holy See and the Imperial Palace, they didn't know what to do, they just wanted an answer, is this how the high-ranking old men, ladies, young masters, and young ladies tortured them? Are they not worthy of being human beings or are the adults not treating them as human beings? The Holy See keeps saying that it will bless every believer of God, but now they only feel unprecedented fear.
Fierce clashes broke out between the police force and the population, and bloodshed continued to take place in the otherwise prosperous and harmonious city.
If the information was displayed at one time on the first day, perhaps there would not be such a big confusion, because the people who were instantly blinded were more overwhelmed. But after the first time the incident was explained in written form, the people spent a few days digesting and analyzing these contents, and they actually had a decision in their hearts, but the evidence was insufficient, the form was not clear, and they did not take action, and because of the timely intervention of the managers, there was a sense of fear; when the evidence appeared in a more intuitive and cruel way, it was impossible for everyone to be silent anymore, and in the past few days, the high-ranking adults not only did not find the person who released the information behind the scenes, but also made the incident worse, which not only showed the incompetence of the managers, but also confirmed the truth of the matter, no one can withstand such a cruel impact continuously, and the people who are dominated by anger will lose their rationality, will be reckless, will be hysterical protests.
If they wanted to disrupt the political situation of the Tanta Empire, the people behind the scenes did it, and in the most accurate and effective way, even those imperial elites were powerless to fight back.
"Isn't this going too far?" Mu Li stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the whispering waiters, "There will be a lot of innocent deaths." โ
Being under house arrest does not mean that the news will also be blocked, His Majesty Naple Taijia even wants Xia Feng to know more details, this time, he doesn't want to stay out of it.
"It's just...... I just want to do an experiment by the way. Xia Feng said lightly, "Let's see how much the power of the people can go." โ
"The power of the common people is infinite, I told you......" Mu Li muttered dissatisfied.
"This is not the world of your dreams, people here lack a sense of resistance, they are used to going against the grain, and they have to use a little way to arouse this emotion. โ
Mu Li looked at Xia Feng's handsome and extraordinary side face in a daze, and suddenly pouted and said, "It's unlucky for them to meet you." โ
"I can't say that, they've messed with me too much. โ
"I see how you explain to His Majesty Naple, playing such a big ......"
Xia Feng smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "He should think the same way." โ
Before the words fell, there was a knock on the door, followed by the waiter's nervous voice: "Your Highness Yanhua, Your Majesty is invited." โ
Xia Feng looked at Mu Li with a faint smile of 'I knew it was like this'.
Mu Li made a gesture of please: "Walk." โ
Everyone's lives were badly damaged, news of a cataclysm was circulating everywhere, and the administrators accused the population of "ignorance", "scared themselves", said that someone was fanning panic, and insisted that everything would be fine.
Naple Taija's anger is uncontrollable, the people are united against the imperial court, it is riots, it is war, this kind of thing happens in a stable regime, it is a subversive disaster, it is one of the five empires, the impact is already uncontrollable, and the damage is incalculable.
"I should have imprisoned you directly. Naple looked at Xia Feng coldly and said, "You've gone too far." โ
Xia Feng frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, can you let me sit down first?"
โ......โ
"I feel like today's conversation is probably going to take a long time. Xia Feng said sincerely.
Naple waved his hand and let Xia Feng sit down on the sofa.
"You'd better stop beating around the bush with me. โ
"I don't go around the bush, I'll just wait with Your Majesty. Xia Feng said with a smile.
"Wait, what are you going to do?"
"What tricks can I have, you think too highly of me. As you just said, this is no longer an empire of the Tanta Empire, in that case, we might as well wait, maybe someone will come to help!"
Naple's already serious face became more and more stern, he thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You are so bold, even they dare to calculate. โ
"I don't have the guts, I'm just ...... Go with the flow. โ
The two of you say a word to me, and even have the suspicion of talking to yourself, Naple's various forced adjustments are inseparable from Xia Feng, Xia Feng is strictly guarded, and never admits that he has never done anything, he is just kind-hearted and willing to help.
At this time, the door of the hall where the two were suddenly pushed open, Andrew broke in angrily, and the strong ** smell instantly swept the entire study.
Andrew didn't hesitate to go straight to Xia Feng, if his eyes could kill, Xia Feng would probably have been cut by him with a thousand knives.
Mu Li followed one step into the small living room, and in the next second, he was already standing beside Xia Feng, successfully blocking Andrew's fist attacking Xia Feng.
"Your Highness is really forgetful, this is the scene we first met, right?" Mu Li still had the same calm smile as when we first met, "If you are desperate to fight, I can accompany you, Your Highness is very busy now." โ
"Presumptuous!" Naple scoldly scolded, "Who gave you permission to mess around here? Andrew, don't you see that there are guests here?"
Andrew suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly knelt down: "I have seen my father and the emperor, and my son...... Erchen ......"
"I've seen Your Majesty!" Mu Li saluted respectfully and automatically retreated behind Xia Feng.
"Get out!"
"Father!" Andrew suddenly looked up at his father, "Father, don't be deceived by this kid, what happened in the past few days must have something to do with him, it must be him who is making trouble." โ
Andrew pointed at Xia Feng with his finger, but his eyes were towards his father, so he didn't see a trace of coldness in Mu Li's faint smile.
"Father, you give me an army, I will set foot in the Starmian Empire, and then teach this third prince a good lesson, and avenge Qina!"
"Shut up! Becoming more and more disagreeable, immediately apologize to His Royal Highness Yanhua, and then go down to receive the punishment. Obviously he was reprimanding, but there was no harshness in Napler's tone other than coldness.
Andrew gritted his teeth and glared at Xia Feng, his face hideous, his eyes breathing fire.
"No need, Your Highness's concern is chaotic, I understand. "Xia Feng said.
"Makes you laugh. Naple said, glaring at Andrew again, "Go aside!"
Andrew stood up indignantly and retreated to the side, thinking that his father and Xia Feng would talk about relevant military and political affairs and the affairs of the past two days, so that he could expose the hypocritical face of that kid on the spot, but he never expected that the two of them chatted all over the world, all of which were innocential topics, and in the end, he and Mu Li couldn't bear to quit, what is this called?
Since it's 'waiting', it's better to relax a little, so as not to wait for a good result, and be too ruthless when turning your face - the consensus reached by Xia Feng and Naple.
Mu Li looked at Andrew's puzzled and indignant look, revealing a smile of unknown meaning, a very wanton smile, and the small white teeth exposed between the pink lips could almost dazzle the eyes of a flower person.
Andrew's eyes widened in amazement, and he felt that his heart had been hit hard, and he forgot everything in an instant.
How did this fool plan and calculate himself-Mu Li thought secretly, and couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it.
The 'magic of truth' was quickly eliminated this time, but the chaos in the city continued, many people were imprisoned, and more people quieted down and gathered to wait for an uncertain outcome, and the rulers quarreled so much that no one could come up with an effective solution anytime soon.
Just after lunch, news came from outside the palace that the Templars directly under the Pope of the Divine Continent had arrived at Barentrie, and the panic spreading throughout the city instantly calmed down, and even within the palace walls, the excited worship of the people could be heard.
A proud city fell to its knees at the feet of the Templars.
Naple Taijia rushed to the Holy See, and Xia Feng and Mu Li were left alone, so they had to listen to the hadith first.
The Templars did not disgrace their own holy name, and all the chaos was quelled in a flash-of-hand manner - the royal family was asked to calm the chaos and calm the people's feelings; the archbishop of the diocese of the Tanta Empire went to the Holy See headquarters to plead guilty, and Deacon Dumont temporarily took the office of bishop; severely punished all those involved, provided compensation to the victims and bestowed on them the glory of the 'clergy'; the Holy See handed over the right to appoint the lord of the city of Mara, and the royal family directly managed all the work in the area; those who exposed such evil deeds behind the scenes should contact the Holy See as soon as possible to receive the Holy See's thanks and rewards.
Absolute authority, thunderous means, the speed with which the situation flips is jaw-dropping and breathtaking.
The people kneeling in the streets chanted God's greatness and mercy, reverence and reverence.
"That's what it is...... The power of the gods ......" Mu Li was shocked and incomprehensible by what he was experiencing.
"It's just in the name of God. Xia Feng said, more serious than ever, "Now you know what kind of power we are going to face!"
Mu Li nodded and said, "In the face of such faith, any means we use are just a performance of a clown!"
"It's good to understand, there is still a long way to go!"
