Chapter 55: The Holy Maiden
Ling Ye was in disbelief. That's the story?
Tian Duxing finished the story, sat on the rotten straw, took a rotten straw and picked his teeth, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, young man, the old man didn't lie to you, right? You have to understand that a man, especially a man who can do the position of marshal, absolutely does not want people to know about his privacy. Hey, hey, hey, hey, not even a man, you said that the empire's million military horses, can you sincerely admire him?"
Ling Ye finally couldn't help but ask, "Then how do you know?" and it seems to know in detail!"
Tian Duxing smiled and said, "You guess?"
Ling Ye said, "Could it be that you were there at the time?"
Tian Duxing gave a thumbs up: "Young people are very smart. Yes, the old man was present at the time, and he witnessed the situation when Wu Peng's Wind Falcon was pierced by Chiyan's Chiyan Holy Spear, and he also knew that Wu Peng's thing was gone. ”
Ling Ye said: "Then according to this, you were also a person from the Divine Wind Camp on the Wind Falcon at that time, and you were caught by the Knights of the Holy Capital, and later released, right?"
Tian Duxing snorted, and his face showed a proud look: "The old man is not so unlucky! Let me tell you the truth, the old man was a member of the Holy Capital Knights back then, and he was in the Red Flame Department!"
Ling Ye immediately shook his head: "Don't believe it, don't believe it! You must be teasing me." If you had been in the Holy Capital Knights, how could you have come to work in Prince Gong's staff? Could it be that you betrayed the Holy Capital and joined Prince Gong?"
Tian Duxing stretched out a finger in front of his mouth, made a silent gesture, and said, "Don't you shout so loudly, okay? Do you want all the jailers here to listen to the old man's story?"
At this time, the person who happened to deliver the food walked outside with the jailer. The jailer obviously heard Tian Duxing's words, but he only glanced at him, ignored him, and did not stop to listen.
Ling Ye looked at his back and snorted: "In my opinion, I guess you are tired of hearing these stories here, and the jailers don't want to pay attention to you." ”
Tian Duxing saw that the jailer had walked away, and then said, "Young man, you don't understand. The old man was ordered to come to the imperial capital to inquire about the news and entered Prince Gong's shogunate. Otherwise, why do you think the old man has not been able to get out for so many years? Do you know how many years the old man has been locked up here?"
Ling Ye said: "If you like to say it, you can say it, and if you don't say it, I won't ask." ”
Tian Duxing sighed and said, "Thirteen years." The old man has been imprisoned here for 13 years! They all already know the true identity of the old man, but they are too lazy to kill me, and they can't let me go, so they lock the old man here, saying that he wants to change his mind and change his ways. Phew!"
Ling Ye thought for a moment and said, "I understand." If it were me, I would have locked you up here until you have reformed your ways. ”
Tian Duxing's eyes widened: "Do you know Chinese?"
Ling Ye said coldly: "Of course." Didn't you say that you were a member of the Knights of the Holy Capital? and you were able to send to the Imperial Capital to spy on the news, which shows that you once held a lot of positions. ”
"Hey, so what?"
"The Knights of the Holy Capital is the Holy Maiden's Guard, and you are an officer or even a general in the Holy Maiden's Guard, which means that you have at least sworn to the Holy Maiden to defend the Holy Maiden and defend the Holy Capital for the rest of your life. If a person like you, here in the imperial capital, said in public that he would no longer defend the holy woman, or even helped the empire to say that the holy woman was a witch and a demon girl, and you saw the true face of the holy woman, and now you have changed your mind and no longer believe in the demon girl's words, etc., etc., then it is very useful for the empire. It's called rebellion, and you're going to be the type of rebellion!"
After Ling Ye finished speaking, he added: "If I were Wu Peng, I would do this!" Wu Peng is no longer a man because of the original war, and he must hate the Holy Capital to the core, but just cutting you is useless, and it will be useful to keep you until you change your faith. ”
When Tian Duxing heard this, he seemed to stay for a long time, and then he laughed out loud: "I see, I see! No wonder, the old man is still wondering why he hasn't been released for so many years, and he won't kill me." Just sleeping with Prince Gong's concubine is a crime, in fact, the old man can be cut down a long time ago. ”
Ling Ye said coldly: "You are very self-aware. ”
Tian Duxing smiled and said: "What's the matter? You love me, what's not to do? Prince Gong is just a fat pig, if he wants to plough so many fields, he will definitely not be able to plough it, and even if he barely ploughs it, he may die violently." The old man kindly helped him farm it, so as not to lose the wasteland, and he should thank the old man!"
Midnight: "...... Sounds reasonable. ”
Tian Duxing laughed for a while, his smile gradually retracted, and his face showed a positive color: "The saint is the most holy and beautiful woman that the old man knows...... No, not a woman, it's a god. She was wearing a long white dress, her face was extremely beautiful, her hair was very long, her speech was very pleasant, and she was also very gentle, and she never got angry with anyone. But as long as there is a little disappointment on her face, or a little disappointment in her words, the people who hear it will want to die for her, just to make up for their mistakes. Although the old man has been away from the Holy Capital Knights for a long time, his loyalty to the Holy Maiden will never change! Wu Peng wants the old man to stop believing in and follow the Holy Maiden, that is absolutely impossible!"
Ling Ye said coldly: "I didn't expect you to be so determined, I can't help but start to look at you with admiration." ”
Tian Duxing said proudly: "What do you think, young man, you must know that there are still some things in this world that will not change with time. No matter where you are, no matter what the situation is, as long as you have a firm belief in your heart, a coward can become a brave!"
Ling Ye stared at him for a while: "Is it worth it?"
Tian Duxing said: "Of course, the Holy Maiden is a very great god, and the Holy Capital is a very great country. There are no harsh laws, no harsh taxes, and only easy-going. Everyone believed in the Holy Maiden, voluntarily and consciously did not break the law, voluntarily and consciously paid the taxes so lightly that there was almost no same, and lived a very happy and happy life. At harvest time, everyone gathers around the square in the center of the village, lights a grand bonfire, barbecues delicious food, drinks mellow wine, sings, dances, laughs and laughs, and is lively until dawn, and then they go back to sleep. ”
Ling Ye said lightly: "What if the harvest fails?"
"If the harvest fails, the Holy Capital will open a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief, ensuring that everyone has food and will not starve to death. The Holy Maiden will lead her subjects to pray to heaven and pray that the wind and rain will be good and that everyone will not suffer so much. ”
When Tian Duxing said this, his eyes showed a blazing light: "Therefore, back then, when the Silver Moon Empire invaded the Holy Capital, the Holy Capital usually did not have many troops, but the young and middle-aged people all volunteered to join the army and swore to defend the Holy Capital. The invasion of the Silver Moon Empire back then, from the initial momentum, to the slow stalemate, and finally the defeat, had to spit out all the land it had invaded and retreat to the north of the Moon River!"
