Chapter 488: Troubled Times
He should be given only limited trust. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But the king's treasurer was not in a hurry - he only took care of him on the march after that. Like any military information, it will be reported to him first, and then to Zhao Sheng. The relationship between the two gradually became closer, until today.
He was informed of such an important event, and everything was prepared in advance.
It turned out that the "loyal servant" beside Zhao Sheng was Mu Nanju's ...... "summoning people". And the forty sword axe men summoned by the servants are also the elite of the Black Knife Army. Zhao Sheng set up a game to kill him, in fact, he was already in Mu Nanju's calculations, and he must have not figured out how he died until he died.
This reckless hero who was born as a head-catcher is also a hero for a while. It's a pity that I was born at the right time and at the wrong time. It's also embarrassing.
After this incident, Ying Ran once again carefully examined the shopkeeper from head to toe. Then he said: "What do you mean? You ask me why Li Yunxin went to Rongcheng -- what does this mean? Does it have anything to do with me?"
Shopkeeper Wang smiled. By this time, the servant had already walked away from the two of them, directing the swordsmen to collect the corpses. The shopkeeper Wang glanced at them, and then looked at Ying Duran: "I know that Ying Daxia doesn't have any clear concept of the Dragon King-in Ying Daxia's heart, the Dragon King should be a ...... Someone with supernatural powers. At the same time, it is good to make promises, but it is not often fulfilled. Only use the people around you as chess pieces, and you may throw them away after using them. For example, the matter of asking the people in the village to come to Weicheng in response to the hero's relocation-"
Ying Daxia made a decision after careful consideration and gambling his life. How do you know that the dragon king does not take this matter to heart? Leave Ying Daxia's people on the road and disappear without a trace...... Therefore, Ying Daxia was quite dissatisfied with him in his heart, but because there was no good way out at the moment, and Li Yunxin was indeed not a character to be messed with, he couldn't say it, right?"
Ying was silent for a while, and snorted: "Hmph." I'll wait...... In his eyes, it's nothing more than ...... Hum. How could he be such a fairy figure who would take us to heart. How dare I resent? ”
The shopkeeper Wang smiled: "Sure enough, there is a complaint." But listen to me first—"
He rubbed his hands, took a breath of relief, and looked at Ying Ran: "The reason why the Dragon King came to Rongcheng that day was because he met the demon cultivator wolf Taoist in Rongcheng. ”
"And that wolf Taoist is just a little demon, and his human form has not yet been transformed. But the people who dealt with the Dragon King in the past were either the masters of the Xuanjing Realm in the cave, or the Xuanjing demons in the lake. Those who cultivate to a lower level are all people or demons in the realm. Whichever one is placed somewhere, it is a character who can sit on one side. The dragon king has seen so many characters, but he suddenly became interested in a little demon of the wolf Dao people-"
Not only spared his life, but also followed him to Rongcheng and stayed for a long time. This is strange in my eyes. ”
"But what's even stranger...... It's just that the dragon king is interested in demons. That Zhao Sheng, who is not a prominent figure even in the world, has twice used his supernatural powers to appear in front of him, causing him to raise an army. He does this...... "What is the reason for?" the shopkeeper shook his head, "At that time, I had been secretly observing and thinking about it repeatedly, but I could not guess his thoughts. I just think he's ...... There's nothing to do, just walk around and stop to kill time when you get here. ”
But it wasn't - he wasn't in a good situation at that time, and he had a lot of things to do...... But a lot of thought has been put into it here. Ying Daxia said, why?"
Ying Ran's brows were still furrowed. But he blinked, and he stopped talking. There was silence for a while, and then he shook his head: "Impossible." ”
Shopkeeper Wang giggled: "What can't be?"
Ying Ran was silent for a while, and said: "You want to say that he stayed in Rongcheng for a long time for no reason, but in fact, he wanted to find a place for me and Liu Gongzan, so that we could settle down." This is ...... No way. ”
Shopkeeper Wang smiled again: "It's just such a simple thought, naturally impossible." But I asked Ying Daxia - did you gather many people in the Black Fortress of Izumo Mountain in the past, and you just wanted to feed them because you saw them pitiful?"
Ying was stunned: "That's nature." They-"
But the king's shopkeeper interrupted him: "But there are so many poor people in the world. Aren't there more poor people in the prefectures and counties near Izumo Mountain? Why didn't Ying Daxia bring them all to Izumo Mountain?"
Ying Ran frowned: "Izumo Mountain is already barren. It is not easy to maintain a large village of 1,000 people. Bring more people - I am afraid that the old and weak in the original village will starve to death. How much more people eat...... The young and strong will not be able to feed them. What do you mean by that?"
Shopkeeper Wang smiled: "Look." When Ying Daxia himself is doing things, he will think about it - whether it will be good for me if this thing is done. If this is done to others, but you will be buried in it, a smart person will not do this. Ying Daxia can think like this, wouldn't the Dragon King think like this?"
"Just as Ying Daxia will not be specially contained for the purpose of containing those old and weak, the Dragon King will not come here specifically to find a place for you. It has to be...... While planning for you, you can do something for yourself - this is like Ying Daxia accepting those young people into the stockade at the same time, hoping that they can be soldiers to enrich the strength of the stockade. Actually, it's all the same thing. When I say this, Ying Daxia may understand the Dragon King and think it is 'possible'?"
Ying Ran's brow furrowed even tighter. After thinking about it for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Even so." So ......"
But he stopped. After two or three more breaths, he took a long breath and raised his eyes to look at the king's shopkeeper: "...... Really?"
Shopkeeper Wang smiled sincerely: "Naturally." ”
"Alas. This time he sighed again. But there was no misery in the breath, but something else...... A little relieved, "That's it." So tell me, what does the Dragon King want us to do next? How do you find out?"
The shopkeeper laughed again. Maybe it was a habit of his old profession, he loved to laugh. But his smile is not annoying, but relaxing. He smiled and said, "The Dragon King has stayed in Rongcheng for many days, and it is one thing to find a place for you." The other is what we need to do now -- fight the world. ”
"I just said that you should be the king of Rong - I think the dragon king asked you to come here, and that is what he did. Ying Daxia thought about it, the cadre in the hands of the Weishui Dragon King...... But to go into the hands of a mere head catcher to be a great commander, is this his arrangement? Is he like this--a man who makes his face dull?"
"At first, it was called Zhao Sheng, because Zhao Sheng was from Yuguo and had connections in Rongcheng. This kind of person is prone to have many followers. If a stranger comes to rebel, not only will they not follow him, but they will share the same hatred. ”
"But now that the Rong army has become powerful, it is no longer the day when the team was maintained by brotherly affection at the beginning of the matter. Now relying on power and glory, Ying Daxia already has prestige, and it is reasonable to stand on his own at the moment, and no one will object. And the dragon king wants to do what the hero does...... It's probably the same thing he did in Weicheng in the past. Ying Daxia thought about it - what was the situation in Weicheng when he ambushed you in the alley?"
This time, Ying decided not to think about it for too long. He let out a sigh of relief: "I remember. Then...... There is a Divine Dragon Sect in Weicheng. He was the leader of the sect, and he gathered many believers. ”
The shopkeeper said in a deep voice: "That's right. What's the use of doing this, you're not a practitioner and can't talk to you about it. But for example, if the gods in the temple are worshipped, people like the dragon king will also be worshipped, and they will also get benefits. At that time, there was a Divine Dragon Sect in Weicheng. And now...... If you gain the rest of the world, or even if the world is in turmoil, you will gain more territory—"
"Just like the sword palace in the rest of the country today, set up a state religion and ask a large number of people to worship the dragon king of Weishui, what is it difficult? This is what he wants you to do. And the reason why Yu Guo was chosen was also because this Yu Country once had a sword palace, which was similar to a state religion. The people of Yu Guo have long been accustomed to this custom, and it will not be too difficult to accept it. ”
Ying resolutely listened to his words, first stunned, then silent—he looked a little distracted.
Because......
In the past, he was just a "village owner". Later, he came to Yuguo to join the Rong army, and became the "commander of the Rong army". This name is imposing, but in fact he doesn't feel anything about it himself--one is that the number of Rong soldiers is small, and second, many soldiers are not complete in armor and staff, and they look no different from peasants. Third, the time is still very short - he does not have enough time to adapt to the transition from the role of "village master" to "grand commander".
Many changes may seem obvious to outsiders. However, in the feelings of the parties, it is difficult to have an exact experience.
But now...... He was not yet completely accustomed to the role of the Grand Commander, but he was told to become "King Rong". Become the King of Rong...... He knew what to do - just keep doing what he was doing.
Raise troops, fight, win. Kill all the way to Kyoto. But what to do when he got to Kyoto, he hadn't figured it out yet.
Zhao Sheng...... He is thought to have a "disobedient heart". But in fact, until he killed Zhao Sheng today, he didn't have that idea. Even when he thought of the question of "what to do after the invasion of Kyoto", he would feel a little relieved by the thought that "it was Zhao Sheng's business at that time".
But after that, it was decided that he needed to do it. He had never had any experience of rebellion, and he already felt a little apprehensive when he thought of this.
But that's not all—the king's treasurer actually said ...... "gained a larger territory"—isn't it still necessary to kill the rest of the kingdom?
Thinking of this, he shook the hilt of his sword: "Larger territory...... The king's shopkeeper. Thou hast said to me before, 'Now do it as soon as possible, and do it all at once. Because he was worried that the Dao Sect would interfere with the immortals of the Sword Sect. So the so-called larger territory ......"
The king's shopkeeper laughed: "Don't you realize it? I mean -- real troubled times. The chaotic times when the demons dance wildly and the heroes rise together, the chaotic times when hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of people fight and fight, and the chaotic times when the corpses of the blood and pestles are scattered all over the wilderness and are about to be cut apart!"
