Chapter 403: The Heart of the Temperance Envoy
What makes all the people in the painting hate the most is the pile of Fangzhen Festival envoys that Lei Changye saved up in the Prancing Circus, and the characters are too real.
But if there are twenty or thirty thousand tooth soldiers in his hands, there is a lot of caution. For example, Wang Zai, the envoy of the Hedong Festival, He Jintao, and Lu Junhong, the envoy of the Xuanwu Army, are even more complicated.
On the one hand, they have a sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty, on the other hand, they have great ambitions, and the most powerless thing for the people who enter the painting is that each of them is coerced by the teeth and soldiers under their command, and many times the decisions they make are not their own will, but the will of various interest groups under their command.
Every day in the game, their minds change in real time, influenced by their staff, the generals, and even the teethers.
When Bai Yinyi retreated from Chang'an, Wang Zai, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, finally decided to attack Xihu to relieve the pressure on Chang'an. But he was killed by a group of vicious fangs. When the soldiers gathered under his banner were rejoicing and preparing to support Chang'an, this group of fangs led their respective personal guards to kill them in all directions and killed them all.
Wei Bojiedu made He Jintao decide not to enter Chang'an to rescue. A group of big players who worked under him secretly raised a large amount of money to buy off He Jintao, killed him, and became a festival envoy, preparing to lead the troops to Chang'an. As a result, they encountered a mutiny by Wei Boya's soldiers, and they were all cut into rolling blood gourds.
The Xuanwu Army made Lu Junhong obey the will of the people under the tent and sent troops to support Chang'an, but he did not move near Chang'an, and led a group of guards under his command to completely occupy the eastern capital and control the Maritime Silk Road. It turned out that all the military expenses of the Xuanwu Army were provided by the Northern Merchant Group. They only wanted to completely occupy the northern waterways and monopolize northern shipping.
Other festivals made it difficult to transfer troops to Chang'an, but they had to be exploited by the Xuanwu army layer by layer, and the suffering was unspeakable. When he arrived in Chang'an, he had fallen into the predicament of lack of food and salary.
When the game process reached the critical juncture of the imminent fall of Chang'an, the people in the world could only give up the fantasy of following the envoys from all over the country to Chang'an, sell all the assets they earned, and organize their own local groups to rush to Chang'an.
They traveled thousands of miles from the waterway of the world to arrive at Yangzhou Water Ship Transfer Mission, and temporarily repaired in Yangzhou Baiyinyi Division. When the Flying Fish Lady ship sailed out of Chang'an to ask for help, she followed the Baiyin Yi army in Yangzhou and the members of the Wumeng on board the ship, and airdropped to the city walls of Chang'an to fight bloodily.
The Flying Fish Lady ship can carry tens of thousands of people at a time, but there are 200,000 elites in Xihu besieging Chang'an. Therefore, the Flying Fish Lady ship could only refuel again and again to send soldiers and supplies to Chang'an.
All the first batch of people who were put into Chang'an were almost certain to die in the process of defending the city. But the game has reached this point, and no one cares whether it can be resurrected, seeing that everyone in Xihu is dying, many people are so excited that they jump off the boat directly, and they fall to their deaths before they can fight.
On the city of Chang'an, scenes of battle scenes of forgetting life were performed. Anyone who can stand on the top of the city and kill the enemy is very addicted. After many people died bravely in battle, their divine consciousness was suspended in the air, and they kept asking their companions who were dying together around them, were they heroic enough to die just now?
The second leaping circus did not appear in the plot of Bai Yinyi's army being attacked by Fang Zhenjiedu and Xihu before and after, the whole army held Chang'an City steadily, and finally succeeded in holding Chang'an City under the reinforcements of people from all over the world at any cost, so that the Xihu army was broken and sunk under the Jiancheng of Chang'an, and retreated to the Hexi Corridor.
This time, the prancing circus ushered in the bloody sunset that marked the end of the drama in the scene where the dead bodies of the Xihu soldiers stood majestically in Chang'an City.
Standing on the city of Chang'an, which stood safely, the people who survived the bloody battle were so excited that they hugged their heads and cried, raising their eyebrows. All the warriors in the city howled hysterically, and the grief and grievance that had been crushed by the Xihu slaughter city before melted like ice and snow under the blood-red sunset.
After the end of the second round of the Prancing Circus, Lei Changye still played the picture scroll of the eternal tragedy of the Western Regions like the first round of the big play, but this time Wu Daozi's voiceover was gone, and it was replaced by a performance of "The Great Array". The big array music is a military song of the Han Dynasty, and the melody is tragic and majestic, which is naturally in line with the tragic song of the Western Regions.
In the double baptism of military songs and picture scrolls, the painters gradually woke up from the joy of defeating Xihu, and they found something that they had almost forgotten, this time the Leaping Circus did not carry out the link of the expedition to Xihu at all, from the beginning to the end, it was a bloody battle in the east of Liangzhou. In the end, they held Chang'an, but they forgot to recover Hexi!
With the satisfaction of winning the bloody battle and the regret of three points into the bones, the divine consciousness of the painter returned to the body with mixed tastes, and returned to the real world again, but the mind still stayed on the Chang'an city under the blood-colored sunset.
After the second prancing circus, the Shangyuan Festival also arrived, and the Bashu craftsmen in Chang'an City were still working diligently and enthusiastically to establish the Protector's Mansion. Daming Palace and the East and West Cities also began the layout of the festival. But all the people who have been in the painting feel the emptiness in their hearts.
"I always felt like something was missing. In addition to their daily work, people will subconsciously take out the painting box, recalling the singing and crying battle of Chang'an City, and thinking about the remnants of Saiwai who are crying thousands of miles away.
At the end of the second Prancing Circus, Lei Changye made a rough count that the number of people who entered the Prancing Circus had exceeded 600,000. The work efficiency of Chu Xiaoyue and Xuan Jin and others is indeed very high.
In this prancing circus, Lei Changye specially hired Ba Shu, who had worked for him, and a group of storytellers entered the painting. Of course, it was difficult for these storytellers to survive the Battle of Chang'an. However, they have all learned to watch the progress of the war as a divine consciousness suspended in the sky.
When the game ended, they were divided into several batches by Lei Changye and scattered to Jiangnan, Hedong, Weibo, Shanxi, Shandong and other places, and compiled the highlights of the second Leaping Circus into a joke, and told a paragraph a day in various card clubs, teahouses, and wine shops, further expanding the influence of the Leaping Circus.
Lei Changye also brought Wang Sui, who had been waiting in Chang'an, and asked him to bring a group of members of the Arrangement Bureau to infiltrate Hedong, Shanxi, Shandong, Weibo and other places to find articulate storytellers, provide them with funds and convenience, let them enter the Prancing Circus to collect style, find wonderful stories in the game of the painter, and also make up jokes to continue to expand the influence of the game.
He himself identified a few people who excelled in the Prancing Circus. These people are all masters in martial arts halls everywhere. He made their characters into hero spell cards, making them heroes on a par with heroes from all over the Tang Dynasty.
One of the characters is called Pi Shicheng, who is the martial artist of the Bingwang Pavilion who entered the Lei Gong Opera with Li Xiangchun and others. Since the enemy was full of good and evil, he completely left the North Gate Changshang and returned to the Bingwang Pavilion to continue practicing martial arts behind closed doors.
He didn't have much money in the first place, so he didn't have money to play Lei Gongju. But then there was a prancing circus, and he finally couldn't hold back and opened a show to experience.
To his surprise, in the game, he actually met his fellow disciples who had been lost for many years. They parted ways because of their different philosophies. He stayed in the capital to make a living. They retired to the markets and became caretakers.
In the game, they invariably returned to the familiar site of the Bingwang Pavilion and became a member of the Martial Arts Pavilion again. This time, they never went to the Shence Army again, nor did they go to the martial arts to seek their background, but formed a soil group together in a down-to-earth manner, and devoted themselves to protecting Chang'an.
When they heard that Chang'an was besieged, they were the first to climb the Chang'an city wall to fight against foreign aggression. They fought from the very beginning of the war until the retreat of the Sihu. Pi Shicheng cut off the heads of more than 100 Xihu soldiers from beginning to end, becoming a hero among the people in the painting, and actually has a large number of admirers.
And when he came out with the painting, he was surprised to find that the storytellers of the entire Chang'an City were telling about the heroic deeds of him and his fellow disciples, as if he had really become a great hero who defeated Xihu.
Walking down the street, hundreds of people greeted him with a smile when they saw him, and a few people came up to hook up with him, and when he looked closely, he found that these were soldiers who had fought side by side with him.
These honors and decencies are all treatments that he has never enjoyed in the more than 20 years he has been under the command of Qiu Shiliang. No matter how much gold cake he earns, he can't have this kind of pride and satisfaction.
Pi Shicheng suddenly fell into the prancing circus. He couldn't imagine what he would have left if those feelings were gone one day.
Like everyone else in the painting, he waited eagerly every day for the third Prancing Circus to begin.
The same situation happened to all the "heroes" who were selected by Lei Changye. These retired soldiers and masters who are incognito in the rivers and lakes are destined to smooth out the edges and corners of ordinary life and walk through the rest of their lives in silence.
But because they were bored in their spare time, they found a free painting box to pass the time. And in the Prancing Circus, I inadvertently found an opportunity to shine and fly high.
When a person feels the taste of flying in the clouds, they can never go back in time.
Holding the picture box in both hands, they eagerly waited for the opening of the Prancing Circus, like a group of fanatical believers, waiting for the call of duty.
The second prancing circus also attracted the attention of the large group of players lurking under the tents of Wang Zai, the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, He Jintao, the envoy of Wei Bojiedu, and Lu Junhong, the envoy of the Xuanwu Army.
The guild leaders of the major players' guilds are keenly aware of the interpretation of the heart of the festival in the Prancing Circus. The analysis of the Jie Du Envoy and the Yaying Group surrounding the Jie Du Envoy in the Prancing Circus has completely exposed the major problems that have plagued them for many years.
They had been in the Tang Phantom World for four or five years, but they had never been able to completely control the Ya Camp. For the true principals in the camps are not always temperate. Each Fangzhen Tooth Battalion has its own special power system and interest groups.
In this late Tang Dynasty, where force was the norm, the factors that needed to be considered in order to completely control the Yaying were much more complicated than the era in which they lived.
They began to consider whether to continue to serve in the local festival and under the tent, or simply organize their own soil groups and go it alone. The answer to this question seems to lie in the Prancing Circus launched by Lei Changye.
