Chapter 58: Heavenly Palace (9)
What is painful is that the first to receive the flames of this war was the local Dharma Division.
The Dharma Division of Zhongyun Mountain was preparing for a local celebration, and when she heard that the daughter of a certain dignitary was going to marry far away, she fell in love with a young man who had practiced in Bailing Mountain, and fell in love at first sight.
This matter is a long story, but I know that the young man is handsome, and he has the background of Bai Lingshan, and the talented and beautiful woman hit it off and are ready to get married.
In this case, the Fa-rectification Division of Zhongyun Mountain and Zhongyun Town naturally cannot sit idly by and ignore it as if no one is around. On the one hand, there are young talents who have come from Bailing Mountain to practice, and on the other hand, there are young ladies from famous families, and it is normal for the director of the Fa Rectification Department to give a face to attend.
Therefore, they did not complain at all when they were settled by the autumn queen.
At first, a man who had gone up to the mountains to hunt came to report that the mountains were on fire.
That's not a fire, but one person can't put it out after all.
When the hunter saw the red color fluttering in the town, he almost knew that it was going to be finished.
It's not that he knew that it was going to be finished from the beginning, but everyone was discussing whether the fiery red scene in the distance was a sign of the glow of heaven blessing the newcomer, and he knew that it was over.
The forward of the escort team of the Rectification Law Division came to report and was stopped outside the door of the wedding banquet, saying that the director of the Rectification Law Division was happy today, and that he should not mess around on the big day.
It's not that you can't mess around, it's just that the captain of the escort team is also in the middle of the wedding banquet, and the members of this team are not very high-priority, and it is not a good thing to want to go through the huge wedding banquet of the whole town to report a fire.
Even unlucky.
It's not an unlucky thing to do at this time.
That...... Is it true that no one in the Dharma Division has discovered this huge mountain fire that burned down the entire Zhongyun Mountain and allowed a huge war to be waged?
Is it true that none of the personnel of the Fa-rectification Division have found out?
It's not that none of the staff of the Rectification Department found out, but that the personnel of the Rectification Division could not enter the wedding banquet and leave the venue without authorization, and they were anxious in their seats, and when they were drinking, they kindly reminded the director of the "glow on the horizon", which was already the most benevolent and righteous.
A dog was barking at Zhongyun Mountain, and the dog was "invited away" from the wedding banquet.
If nothing else, someone will be able to stop this "wildfire". Because at that time, the wildfires were not very strong, and there was still room for redemption.
Even if it burns, it won't burn a thousand holes.
It's not that there can't be accidents, the firefighters were "accidentally" assassinated on the road, the fire is raging, and how many people are missing can only be found out after the wildfire.
It's not that it can't be found out, it's just that there are too many dead people and too many missing people, and you can only find one according to the genealogy.
The rest died.
By the time everyone knew that it was a wildfire, it was already too late to extinguish it, but the firefighters of the Righteous Law Division still needed to go and extinguish it.
It's not that it can't be extinguished, when countless waters are evaporated, when the terrible conjuring circle is discovered, when everything on the mountain is burned to the ground, the fire is mostly extinguished.
When someone told the head of the Righteous Law Division to hurry up and ask for help from other surrounding mayors, the wildfire burned a large area, and it was not extinguished. It's just that he knows that he is going to be finished, so he simply makes himself more finished.
It's not that he can't be finished, but that he loses face, and this fatal mistake will make him behead all over the house, and this terrible mistake will make him face all kinds of torture.
To be beheaded and die, or to be tortured to death, this is a terrible question for ordinary people, but for him, he still chooses the former, the laws of the empire are enough for him to die hundreds of times, so he is no longer an imperial man.
While ordering the rescue team to put out the fire, he restricts the people of the town from going out. In the end, this matter can't be hidden, but there is still a period of time before the East Window incident, and he disguised himself as a farmer and escaped, so he really did it.
It's just that his wife and children are still going to die, and the purpose of him pulling everyone to accompany him to the funeral is to surrender to the shadow hunters.
The Shadow Hunter looked at him with a confused expression, and also looked at the mountain fire with a confused expression, paying tribute to his "earth-shattering" event.
After all, no shadow hunter can do such a huge scheme, and this is his "credit".
It's not that no one has benefited, and the Amobius on Zhongyun Mountain has completed the Spiritualist Formation and is lucky to take the Spiritualist Banner.
The emperor of the empire found out about this, and after checking it again, his anger towards the principality grew bigger and bigger.
It's not that you can't help but be angry, but at this time only the principality can save this mistake.
That is to wage war against the principality.
If the principality is smarter, it must understand that this war is unstoppable, it must be accepted, and if it refuses, it will get even greater revenge.
The entire Zhongyun Mountain was burned to the ground, but it came from a weed, from the dereliction of duty of an imperial official, from a small flame, from a small failure.
The face of the empire must have been lost.
However, if it was the principality's premeditated plan to make this mountain not available, and let the mountains become mountains of rare treasures, thousands of people were burned to death in this fire.
The face of the empire must still be there, and if it declares a revenge war against the principality, the face of the empire can definitely be doubled.
It's not that you can't lose face, but the casualties of the empire are obviously more tragic than those of the principality. The Duchy's Zhongyun Mountain is called [Loclerus Mountain], which is not within the territory of the Duchy, but the border between the Empire and the Duchy.
When the empire and the principality were at armistice, this high mountain, which originally belonged to the public boundary line, was "deliberately" assigned to the empire.
It was the empire that was "deliberately" assigned to the empire, because it was originally the territory of the principality, but the empire stationed its troops here before the truce, saying that it was to protect the residents around Mount Locles and help them recuperate. After that, it went to the Empire.
It's not that the principality doesn't want to get it back, it's that it can't get it back.
When the peace agreement was signed at Tamocha, it was the envoy of the principality who died, and the imperial envoy [Ningji], who had high hopes, was suddenly summoned back by the emperor to protect his safety, and another envoy was sent to sign the agreement.
And the first guardian of the empire at that time was Ning Ji.
It's not that you can't return to the empire for "safety", it's just that after that, Ning Ji, who originally wanted to return Mount Locluses to the principality, was sent to the far north, not caring about any news.
Lockles Mountain becomes Zhongyun Mountain, and this mountain can be destroyed and "remembered" step by step.
It's not that you can't worry about it, it's just that the principality people were expelled from Zhongyun Mountain, and you can't worry about it if you want to.
Therefore, this fire must have been set by the principality, and the empire sent out the army only to avenge the thousands of people who were mercilessly burned to death by the principality, otherwise it would be difficult for the people to be angry.
It's not that this war can't be avoided, it's just that the empire doesn't need to avoid it.
So now, when this war comes, it becomes a matter of course.
It wasn't a weed burned by flames, it was a wolf's ambition ignited.
