Chapter 63: Faith
The saint smiled slightly: "Yes, I will not interfere in the affairs of the world casually. Man cannot expect God to redeem, but to save himself. Although sometimes it seems to be very critical and people are going extinct, as long as you think well, you can always find a way to save yourself. The way is to experience, and the more experience you accumulate, the more calm you will be in the face of a crisis. If you rely on God for everything, and don't think of it yourself, then you will really be extinct. ”
Que Wan'er: "...... Some seem to understand but don't understand. If you do not interfere in the affairs of the world, then I beg all the pardon for asking, what is the purpose of your existence?"
The holy woman bowed her head slightly, her eyes seemed to pass through the floor of the Shenyue Temple, overlooking the world, and said leisurely: "Because people believe in me, believe in me, and respect me, they also have good thoughts and conscience in their hearts, and when they treat people and things, they can think of being kind to others and living in harmony." Therefore, the people in the Holy Capital are basically very happy, and there are few mean and vicious things happening. On the other hand, the empire is highly hierarchical, heavy taxes, and the common people live a very hard life, and from time to time there will be a wave of rebellion, and it is not easy to even live. ”
Que Wan'er: "......"
Ling Ye said: "When we went south, the Flying Fox Clan in the north of the empire was preparing to invade the south on a large scale. Although the empire hurriedly requisitioned troops and carried heavy food and grass, the common people not only did not respond positively to the order, but fled one after another, and not many people were willing to contribute to the empire, and even raised troops to resist the empire. On the other hand, in the Holy Capital, this time the empire invaded the south on a large scale, and there was no need to say much from the government, there were young and middle-aged people everywhere who came to join the army, willing to do whatever it took to defend the Holy Capital. I think that's the meaning of the saint's existence. ”
Que Wan'er: "...... I see! I think I understood a lot of things at once. ”
The saint smiled: "Faith, many times, is a kind of good thought. If you go down with faith, you will not be alone on the road, and one day we will all be able to reach the other side together. ”
Que Wan'er nodded and asked, "The empire is now invading the south and menacing, where is our other side?"
The saint smiled and looked at Ling Ye. Ling Ye smiled at Que Wan'er and said, "The Holy Maiden has actually pointed us in the direction. ”
Que Wan'er thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "What do you mean...... Start with a cold background?"
Ling Ye nodded: "Well, although Lan Tai is the emperor of the empire, but in terms of the ability to march and fight, it is not as good as the commander of the army Marshal Wu Peng, and he is the main one in the strategy of marching and fighting, especially he knows the Holy Capital extremely well, and he is determined to win the Heavenly City and the Holy Maiden." In order to defend the Holy Capital against the Imperial forces and drive them back north of the Moon River, Wu Peng must be dismantled. And the best way to dismantle Wu Peng is to tell Leng Rushuang the truth. ”
Que Wan'er said: "Are you planning to go to the front line, infiltrate the imperial army camp, and plot against Leng Ruos......huang?" It's too dangerous, isn't it?"
Ling Ye said quietly: "In the entire Holy Capital, only I am suitable for this, who will I go if I don't go?" Wu Peng is a heaven-level powerhouse, and he is as cold as frost and should not be underestimated, I just had a tie with her in the past. Now that I'm back in the place where I was born, my skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and it's impossible for me to be my opponent as cold as frost. After all, she knows me, and she is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and when she meets me, she will immediately fight and kill. If I run into Wu Peng, I can at least run away. If someone else went, because he didn't have any friendship with Leng Ruoshuang, he would probably be killed directly when he met him. ”
Que Wan'er sighed and said, "That's right, but such a dangerous thing, how can you let yourself be in danger alone?
Ling Ye shook his head: "Don't! If you want to tell Leng Rushuang the truth, you must bring her back to the place where she was born, that is, the place where the Lingyue Clan lived according to the Holy Maiden, the road is very long, and it takes a long time to travel day and night. If you want to help me, I hope that you can help the four generals withstand the attack of the imperial army while I am away, and at least keep the Celestial City from falling. ”
Que Wan'er: "...... But if you have to run so far and face a strong man like Wu Peng alone, who can rest assured? Wu Peng has now invaded the Holy Capital, I don't think he will want to recruit you to deal with Lan Tai together. If he learns your true origins, he won't be willing to let you live. ”
Midnight: "......"
The Holy Maiden listened quietly, and at this time she smiled and said: "Ling Ye, then you can set off with Wan'er!" The Holy Capital has experienced many storms, and even the enemy soldiers have come to the city, but in the end they are still able to resist the strong enemy and survive tenaciously. This time, it may not be really destroyed by Wu Peng in one go. Go ahead, all of you!"
Seeing that the saints said this, Ling Ye no longer insisted, bowed down and replied, "Yes!
The holy woman beckoned the two of them to come closer, raised her hand and nodded a little on each of their hearts, and said, "You must be in great danger when you go this time. This can help you block the next fatal blow when you are in extreme danger. But remember, it's only once!"
The two bowed in unison and thanked them. The holy woman looked at them fixedly and waved her hand: "Okay, let's go! I can't help you fight Wu Peng, I can only help you here." Be careful!"
※※※
The two said goodbye to the saint, simply packed up, and went out of the city to the north. Xiao Yao saw that the eldest lady was leaving, and she insisted on keeping up, but Que Wan'er had no choice but to take her with her and go north together.
Although the Imperial Army invaded the south in a big way, it was still far from the Heavenly City after all, and although there were many people talking on the road, they were not too panicked. A few days later, as we approached the front line, the sights were very different. Countless refugees have fled south one after another, helping the old and the young, shouldering important belongings. With a sad look on everyone's face, Yu Lu couldn't stop cursing the cruelty and tyranny of the empire, and lamented the prospect of the imminent destruction of their homeland.
On the other hand, the army of the Holy Capital marched north. Most of them were young men who had recently joined the army, and their faces and eyes were still full of freshness and excitement, and they sang war songs loudly, and their morale was very high. Ling Ye said to Que Wan'er: "The Holy Capital is different from the Empire, there are not many standing troops, and once a war starts, it can only be urgently recruited. Such urgently recruited soldiers will not be very familiar with the battle array, and when attacking, they will not be as skilled as the standing army. ”
Xiao Yao exclaimed: "Then how can you win the Imperial Army like this, especially the Wolf Guards from you, those terrible madmen!"
Ling Ye shook his head: "We will definitely not be able to defeat at the beginning, our losses at the beginning will definitely be very large, there will be countless military and civilian casualties, but ......"
He looked at the recruits with excited faces, and said slowly: "They are not willing to be enslaved by the Empire, they are willing to shed blood and die to defend the Holy Capital, and they have the same hatred for the enemy. There is a cloud in the art of war, and those who want the same up and down win. Although the Imperial Army is ferocious, it will definitely be unable to defeat the Holy Capital Army with one heart in the end!"
