The second difficulty faced by the general was the intercession of the people.

The little bell was puzzled: "Pleading? The people intercede for the bandits who have plagued them?"

Tang Xiaohao explained: "Those mountain bandits were originally the people, they couldn't live anymore so they went to be mountain bandits, and they originally hated the government, but the government gave small profits to appease these mountain bandits, telling them that as long as they don't confront the government and don't rob the landlords and gentry, they occupy the mountains as kings and rob homes and houses, and the government will naturally turn a blind eye."

Little Bell's face was full of disbelief: "Those mountain bandits agreed? Why are they so stupid?".

Yes, those bandits are so stupid. The government did not exterminate them because the world was in turmoil, and they sent troops to exterminate the bandits, fearing that they would weaken their own strength, and the existence of the bandits could also give them a perfect excuse when facing the imperial court's transfer of troops and food, and even taxation.

Even if the imperial court had to forcibly levy, they also colluded with the mountain bandits to loot the grain team halfway, and the mountain bandits could take one-third of the grain they obtained, and they could also take away all the weapons and equipment of the imperial court's grain transportation team.

In the end, the imperial court was forced to be helpless, so the errant general was demoted here, hoping that the general could eliminate the bandits.

The problem was that the senator came alone, and at that time the imperial court was tired of dealing with rebellions in various places and did not have extra troops.

Therefore, after joining this place, they can only recruit and train themselves.

The local official uniforms and gentry were superficially supportive, but secretly tried not to pay or pay for food, but only gave a symbolic little.

Although the local people were often plundered, many of the bandits were their own relatives, and they also knew that there was collusion with the government.

Hearing this, Little Bell frowned and said, "Your human affairs are really too troublesome."

Tang Xiaohao sighed, "Trouble? No, there is no solution, and you can't do both. Even if the general was given the power to dispose of it by the imperial court, he would not dare to do so, because those officials are deeply rooted in this place, and if they can't be uprooted, then he will suffer in the end.

If you lose your life, what can you talk about changing the world?

The catastrophe of Mo started from unbearable.

The little bell was curious, "So, what did the general do in the end?"

Tang Xiaohao said, "That general remembered a sentence."

The little bell asked, "What are you saying?"

Tang Xiaohao said: "Money can bless people and also harm people, and those who have money must know; Medicine can make people and kill people, and those who use them should not be careless."

Sharp weapons are the same, sometimes you don't need to do it yourself to kill someone.

The general imprisoned the bandits who had been captured alive on the spot, and distributed food and water as usual to feed and clothe them, but from time to time one of the fifty people would be randomly called out of the fifty people to be entertained with good wine and food.

When one of them, who had been called out to return after he had had eaten and drunk, he was given a short knife and told him to take it back.

Five days later, the fifty bandits began to kill each other because of the daggers.

The little bell was puzzled, "Why do you do this?"

Tang Xiaohao said: "Because of suspicion, there are dark ghosts, and righteousness is not evil. These mountain bandits are only suspicious, where is the righteousness?"

As a monster, Little Bell naturally doesn't understand why doing this can make those people kill each other? And what is the difference between cannibalism and the general's order for the soldiers to execute these mountain bandits? What's the point?

Tang Xiaohao explained: "Think about it, if you are one of the mountain bandits, you find that for five days, every day, there will be a person who has been called out, and when he comes back, he is full of wine and food, and asks him what he was called to do, but he just says that it is delicious and delicious, will you believe it? Even if that person tells the truth, you won't believe it, you will feel that there is a conspiracy here, so you will discuss it with the people around you, and the person with the short knife, whether he voluntarily handed over the knife or was found and searched, will increase everyone's suspicion and make them think that there is some kind of deal between someone and the government."

actual

, there is nothing, everything is just a trick of the generals, but under the premise that they are imprisoned and do not know what the future will be, suspicion will lead to anger, and when anger is heavy, it will naturally lead to murderous intentions.

After the death of the fifty bandits, all problems were solved.

The gentry of the government were no longer afraid of their secrets being discovered, and the people were speechless although they were puzzled, because those people were killing each other, not the government, and it no longer matters how the dagger came from.

The little bell finally understood, "This dagger is equivalent to the dragon armor order in your hand. That's what it means, right?"

"Yes, a reason," Tang Xiaohao sat slowly on the ground, looking very tired, "I inadvertently summoned the Banner Spirit and was forced to be tied to the Dragon Armor Order, I am a threat in the eyes of others, and suspicion will naturally arise."

Tang Xiaohao did not explain that the general was his father Tang Chen when he was young.

In the fragmented memory of the little bell, Tang Xiaohao will always be giggling, and it is the first time he sees him so troubled and unhappy.

This colt, who was only eighteen years old, could only be regarded as a boy at best, and could not be regarded as a man, knew very well the power of those living fires, and for others, it might be like a treasure, but for him, this magic weapon that was enough to destroy the entire Nine Plains was completely an evil thing, like a mountain pressing on his shoulders.

Tang Xiaohao said again: "Instead of making me the one who is suspected of holding a short knife, it is better to let everyone be suspicious of each other, at least there will be no accidents on the way to escort Princess Baomeng to Rouyuan City safely."

The little bell said, "If you don't do this, that prince will be the first to suspect you."

"Yes," Tang Xiaohao's face was heavy, "If the prince asks Su Mu to attack me, Su Mu will be in a dilemma, I'm afraid he will choose to cut himself off."

The little bell said, "Even if this road is safe, even if it reaches the Torth Ministry, Bao Meng or Childa will inform the Grand Metropolitan of the Torth Ministry."

Tang Xiaohao looked at the little bell: "Among us, there are people from the imperial court, people from different ways, people from the Torsi Department, and the unknown force behind the armor, the moment I summoned the flag spirit, I was already targeted by all forces."

Little Bell said, "If you don't seal the Living Flame, the people of the Torth Department will definitely try to win you over and make you a terrifying force that they can dominate the Nine Plains."

Tang Xiaohao smiled bitterly: "I have already analyzed and speculated, they will use the relationship between me and Bao Meng, first let me deal with the Ruiyuan Yan clan, after all, the Yan clan is the old enemy of the Torsi Clan, and Bao Meng will also ascend to the throne because of this, and I will become the husband of the new clan king of the Torth Clan, when that time comes, what will I become?" I don't know, I may swell and think that I can be above the Nine Heavens until one day I bring about my own destruction."

Xiao Bell was very surprised, because Tang Xiaohao was so sober, and it was precisely because of his sobriety that he made this decision.

Where can anyone completely resist having the power to destroy the heavens and the earth? No.

Therefore, even if he is misunderstood, he must do it.

Fu Tsing Yi said that what a person will become in the end is determined by the person's experience, and his experience stems from his choice, and every choice he makes is because of his innate character.

Choice is the cause of planting, and to see the result, maybe a moment later, or many years later, when you completely forget about it, a sudden attack comes from the sky.

Besides, Ji Chengying and the others, after Tang Xiaohao left, they all looked at the people beside them cautiously, because they didn't know who the real Soul Fire Container was.

They also know that whoever becomes that container will be targeted.

After Gu Huaiyi pondered for a while, he smiled, because he already knew who became the container, although he didn't know that person, but he knew that only choosing that person as the container was the most appropriate.

Su Mu was guarding Ji Chengying's side with a knife, while Ji Chengying was sitting there with his eyes closed, as if he was recuperating and seemed to be asleep.

Cerda looks

Xiang Baomeng, and Baomeng put his hands on his chest, trying to feel if there was a change in his body.

Dugu is also condensed with his own magical power, wandering all over his body, looking for the fire of life hidden somewhere.

Because of mutual suspicion, no one paid attention to what existed in the Heavenly Power area in front of the Bone Road.

Su Mu suddenly saw that the road in front of him began to glow, and subconsciously said, "What is that?"

As soon as Su Mu said this, the others turned around and looked at the path that the Bone Road connected to the Heavenly Power Region was actually emitting a soft warm light, as if they could go to the Nine Heavens God Domain by following that path.

Su Mu couldn't help but step forward: "It was still dark there just now."

Except for Ji Chengying, everyone got up one after another, Gu Huaiyi also deliberately glanced at Ji Chengying before getting up, Ji Chengying didn't seem to be well yet, and he was still sitting there with his eyes closed.

Except for Su Mu and Ji Chengying, everyone else walked to the junction of Bone Road and Luminous Road and stood up, looking ahead.

Looking down the path that glowed warmly, the next area was covered with black trees and shrubs, but there were many strangely shaped glowing plants growing in them, and the light emitted by those plants was of different colors, looking colorful and dreamlike, giving people a sense of unreality, as if everyone was hallucinating.

Gu Huaiyi raised his hand and felt it for a moment and said, "Strange, the power of the enchantment has disappeared."

Dugu Yiyi also stepped forward, tentatively put his hand on the glowing road, and found that the surface of the road was a layer of moss, and it was this moss that would emit light.

Dugu looked up at the dark sky: "Probably after nightfall, this road will shine, right?"

Gu Huaiyi motioned for the others to retreat: "It's weird, don't act rashly, try to follow the time recorded on the bamboo slip."

As soon as he finished speaking, they heard festive music coming from the end of the road, and as the music approached, a group of tall women with beaded crowns on their heads, pink veils, and fur belts around their waists walked up the mossy road.

Seeing this, everyone retreated and remained vigilant.

Tang Xiaohao and Little Bell, who heard the music, also immediately returned, passed through the crowd to the junction of the two roads, and looked at the masked woman on the other side of the road who was dressed and had almost the same height and figure.

At this time, a sedan chair that glowed with multicolored light slowly walked slowly between the eight women, and the strange thing was that the sedan chair did not have a sedan chair man, but walked along the moss road on its own.
