Chapter 636: Shock
Cloud City is built on the mountain, with buildings and roads winding up the mountain.
There are also steep paths that are close to fifty or sixty degrees, some pale blue, some colorful, each straight and up and down. From a distance, it looks like a string of beads hanging down from the slopes of Cloud City, and it seems to inlay the blue sky in the cracks of the city, adding color to Cloud City.
Half of the city goes up, often lingering with faint clouds, and at a glance, the whole cloud city is simply beautiful.
Everyone who comes to Cloud City for the first time, as long as they get up a little early, can see this beautiful scenery and be fascinated by it. After many people have come to Cloud City, they feel that it must be a great pleasure in life to slowly make tea and drink tea in the teahouse, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world.
Cheng Chong is still young and doesn't like this kind of slow-paced life, but he is walking on the streets of Cloud City at this moment, looking up from time to time to look up at the mountain city that seems to be inlaid in the air like a jewel. He couldn't help but admit that it was indeed a wonderful life.
At least at this moment, Cheng Chong was very eager to try the kind of leisurely and indifferent days described by others once in a while.
"It's beautiful. ”
Cheng Chong gradually relaxed physically and mentally, and even his pace was a little more leisurely, walking in the streets and alleys, seeing with his eyes, listening with his ears, and judging with his heart. After walking for a while, listening for a while, I saw a good business shop on the street, and a guy with a smiling face.
I saw groups of craftsmen renovating the straight paths, replacing the dusty stone paths with blue stone or other colored stones. After asking curiously, I realized that these straight paths that added color to the road were one of Mrs. Tan's plans for Cloud City.
Talking about Mrs., talking about Mrs. again!
Cheng Chong has only been here for less than seven days, and the frequency of this name is not high. But each time it appears in a place where it is clear that it has the right to speak. For example, why did you choose Cloud City as the capital of Tobu?
The Marquis of Tobu commanded the troops on the front line, what should I do in the rear?
There is a god to shine in the realm, and the Dongwu Marquis of the Lingyou realm is not afraid that he can't be suppressed?
Mrs. Tan rarely shows up, but her influence on Tobu's power can be said to be everywhere.
Cheng Chong sighed. As soon as I boarded a restaurant with a high overlook, the buzzing and heated discussion suddenly came to my face fiercely: "Is the prince really gone? Don't be joking." ”
"I heard that the news has been coming for a few days, and no one has known about it. It only came out two days ago, and I think something really happened. Someone was mysterious, and it was clear that a large number of people in the restaurant could hear what he was saying, and they still looked left and right with a cautious expression: "I guess it's blocked by the Hou Ye and his wife." ”
"Old bull head, you are less nonsense...... some people don't believe it. I want to denounce these false news, but it is not convincing.
Two days later, Cheng Chong personally witnessed the spread of this death, which was generated and fermented without malicious intent. It can be said that overnight, the entire Cloud City will know the Dao, and maybe the next thing will be the entire Dongwu Force.
Most of the guests in the restaurant were discussing the matter, and no one stopped them. Anyway, I can't stop it, it's only been two or three days. The news of the son's death spread all over the streets. It is estimated that there are not only here, but also many places where people gather. It's all about talking about it.
Even the people and cultivators who have no vital interests are very concerned about the life and death of the son. Those who have vital interests only care about the imagination of ordinary people.
The quarrel of the other group of discussants became intense, and the originally low voice gradually opened up: "You know that Lu Dao is a fart, and who is above does not know that Lu Dao's news is true." You say, who is interested in using some false news to fool everyone. ”
Another stout man pointed at a few of his companions with an angry expression: "I don't care if it's true or not, you don't fucking be here...... Spread this kind of thing. A few of you can see it, this guy has only been cast for two years, and you can see how he is doing now. Not reliable at all. ”
"What do you mean, you rely on your old qualifications and look down on us who have just defected to the Hou Ye, aren't you ......" This guy was furious.
Seeing that a group of people were about to grab their sleeves and start fighting, a sudden shout came from the staircase: "Shut up!"
A person walked down the stairs, took a waist card and lit it up, and pointed to the thick man with a gloomy face: "What is new, do you know what you are talking about." Turning to the other person: "And you, even if something really happens to the prince, you are still the Hou Ye's soldiers!"
"What's the noise, get out, get out of here!"
A dispute that is easy to cause disharmony between the newcomer and the old man, just showing a little sprout, was quietly pressed down by an unrevealed general.
Even Cheng Chong secretly admired this person's insight and reaction, and quickly suppressed a possible storm in advance. Presumably, the Marquis of Tobu does not say that there are many talents, but there are still talents.
After a little inquiry, someone happened to recognize him and told him that this person's name was Cao Pei, a demoted general, and he was originally a middle- and lower-level officer under the command of the Overlord.
Dare to use and promote a general, this is originally a manifestation of the way of employing people.
Returning to the private room, he looked at the two people sitting in the chairs, one of whom was an old colleague and the other was of the same clan, apparently prepared to have a "meaningful and in-depth" conversation with him.
After talking for a while, they were interrupted by the troublemakers, and the two looked at each other, secretly showing joy, feeling that Cao Pei had a chance to persuade if he was willing to listen to them say something. Unexpectedly, Cao Pei frowned slightly: "I know your intentions." ”
Seeing that the two were about to speak, Cao Pei waved his hand to stop: "Next, don't mention it again." Even if you talk about it, I won't say yes. I don't want to investigate who bought you to convince me, I just didn't hear what you said, and I don't want anyone to tell me again. ”
After speaking, Cao Pei left a piece of gold ingot as money for tea and dinner, turned around and went downstairs and left.
The Dongwu Army has a channel for advancement, room to display its talents, and has morale, cohesion, and enterprising spirit. Why would he destroy his future and mess around with some people who have bad intentions towards Tobu.
It's just that...... If the son of the world hadn't died, he would really be close to perfection.
If Tan Weiran is here, he will be very surprised to know Cao Pei. In the previous life, the dying king had two tigers under the command of the twilight blood, both of whom were fierce generals who made a name for themselves. One of them is Peng Laohu.
The other one is this Cao Pei!
Peng Laohu is an old man under Cui Siju, this Cao Pei obviously joined the service much later, and he can come from behind and be tied with Peng Laohu, and his ability and talent can be imagined.
In fact, leaving aside the few hardcores such as Lu Dongli Leying who are bent on following Dongwu Hou, many people are very close to Cao Pei's ideas. Tobu is thriving. The future is bright, and it gives people with the ability and ideas room to show their talents, and even Cao Pei, a demoted general, has been promoted twice in a few years because of his outstanding performance.
With the passage of time and development, people's confidence in Tobu has increased day by day, and the cohesion is becoming stronger subtly, and there are not many people and things that can shake these two points.
There are no more than five people within Tobu who can impact people's confidence. Although Shizi Tan Weiran is not very involved in political affairs, he is definitely one of them.
Both in the short and long term. It doesn't get any worse than that.
For Zhang Songling and other die-hards, the news of Tan Weiran's death has brought a drop in morale and a chokehold, and will not shake confidence because of this. They followed Tan Cha for not a day or two, and everyone didn't know that Lu Dao Tan Chai and his wife had a son, and they were not still loyal to their careers.
For some people who have just joined Tobu for a few years, the "death of the son" is enough to smash their confidence, and in just two or three days, some people have complained in private: "I knew that this talk about the son of the world was short-lived." It's not time to defect to the Marquis of Tobu. ”
"I have long felt that this Tan Shizi is too young and immature, and he really accidentally died in the outer land. Even if you don't die in the Outlands. It is estimated that he is also a troublemaker, and he may not die one day. You see, it's not now that he murdered the Seven Princes of Twilight Blood, and brought a catastrophe to his father and mother for no reason. This ultimatum has expired, and there is no way to deal with it. ”
Obviously, the vast majority of people are on the matter, and they are full of worries about the loss of their son. But there are also a lot of unknown sources. Obviously full of malicious remarks are stirring up waves and stirring people's hearts.
Even though he knew that someone was pushing him, he was helpless to talk about chasing the couple, because this was what most people were worried about.
"In the past few years, Tobu has expanded several times in size. Officials and warrior monks who came to serve. There are a lot of people who come because of the key part of talking about Weiran!" Zhang Xun, whose face was pale, accentuated his tone and emphasized again: "Don't believe it, there are really a lot. ”
Seeing that Zhou Yu and his companions were positive, Zhang Xuncai continued: "Not to mention half, at least one-third." It is entirely conceivable that these people were the most affected by the news of Weiran's death, and their confidence was shaken the fastest and had a wider impact. ”
"Hehe, I heard that kid killed the future emperor of a powerful neighboring country, which angered the other party, and he is trying to find a way to stir up trouble, saying that even the most powerful ultimatum is scared. Depending on the situation, it is not necessary that a major war will break out at any time. ”
"In short, if I were you, I wouldn't have gone to talk about chasing couples. ”
Zhou Yu and the others went separately, and they came halfway together to save Zhang Xun, who was seriously injured for some reason. When he was about to reach the Tobu Wasteland, he learned about the death of Lu Daotan, and the idea of serving the Marquis of Tobu naturally faded.
Of course, if Tan Weiran is not dead, then another story.
These days, when I hear the local people talking about it, I feel sorry for it, but it's a pity that I died young. Every time they heard this, Zhang Xun and Zhou Yu and a group of people had a crazy desire to complain.
Condensing the sword spirit, in the middle of the spiritual tour, this is the genius Tan Shizi in the eyes of the locals?
You must be kidding us!
Zhang Xun, Zhou Yu and the others really wanted to say to everyone with tears in their eyes, if you see the talk in the Baili Cave Mansion that suppressed Gan Qingdi, Ye Chunqiu and others were almost eclipsed, I am afraid that you will go crazy.
At this moment, a sudden thunderclap roared through the sky, causing the air to carry an impact.
Zhang Xun and Zhou Yu were the first to notice it, and quickly rushed out of the window, flew upside down to the roof, and gasped: "This is ...... Breaking the Void?"
Several Void Breaking Realms that released powerful breaths rose into the sky from the Hou Mansion in fierce battles. (To be continued......)
