Chapter 397: Divine Cult
This time it was a bit of a big surprise!
Could it be that this mountain bandit from Peach Blossom Mountain turned out to be the man in black who ambushed Xia Jiang and other guards in the Beijing camp before?
If so, then this Peach Blossom Mountain is too bold!
Just as Zilong was guessing, a figure came out of the mountain bandits.
This man slowly came to the front of the formation, stood a stone's throw away from the dock fort, used all his strength, and shouted loudly: "Listen to the mud-legged people of Yujiazhuang, I am the king of Longkou Mountain, the iron-handed ghost Xiao Ming! I am here today just to catch those thieves who escaped from my mountain into your village and killed dozens of lives in my Longkou Mountain! As long as these people are handed over, I will not commit any crime with Gui Zhuangqiu, otherwise, my eldest brother Song Demon King will wave these thousands of troops and break your dock fort, and there will be no chickens and dogs!"
It turned out that this person was Xiao Ming, the iron-handed ghost of Longkou Mountain, Zilong couldn't help but see this person clearly and wrote down this person's appearance.
Regardless of whether the bandits in Peach Blossom Mountain were the black-clothed men before, but since this iron-handed ghost Xiao Ming is the one who is in trouble, Zilong doesn't mind looking for a chance to let him settle the account!
Listening to the words of this iron-handed ghost, all the Zhuang Ding on the city wall couldn't help but chatter and discuss!
They originally thought that these mountain bandits were coming for their Zhuangzi, so they swore to fight the mountain bandits to the end, so that they would not let these mountain bandits harm their homes and slaughter their wives and children.
But now this iron-handed ghost actually said that it was to capture the people who escaped from Longkou Mountain, and these people even killed the bandits of Longkou Mountain.
One by one, they all exchanged heads and asked the people around them if they knew who those people were, and where they were.
And those who know about it, can't help but say it a little anxiously, and say that these people are Yu Baoguo, the son of Bao Chang, who brought people into Zhuangzi, and at the moment these people in Yujiazhuang couldn't help but feel uneasy, and some people shouted directly to hand over Zhengde and others to quell this disaster.
Seeing the anger of the people below, the chief of the security department was slightly relieved, and glanced at his son Yu Baoguo beside him, and said in a whisper: "Baoguo ......"
"Father!" Yu Baoguo saw the words of the Iron Hand Ghost, which made Zhuang Ding, who was ready to fight to the death with him, change the wind direction greatly, and even his own chief father, he couldn't help but loosen, and at the moment he didn't wait for the chief to speak, he directly said impassionedly, "Father, do you think you can believe the words of these mountain bandits and bullies?"
"This ......" The chief security officer is not an unreasonable person, and he naturally reacted when he heard it, and he couldn't help but say nothing.
Yu Baoguo couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw his father understand, and shouted to the Zhuang Ding around him on the gatehouse, "Folks, everyone, ask yourself, can you believe the words of these mountain bandits and bullies?"
Originally, Yu Baoguo asked the chief of the security guard, and everyone had almost heard it, but at this time, Yu Baoguo questioned everyone like this, so that everyone couldn't help but stagnate, and faintly understood.
Yu Baoguo didn't wait for everyone to think, and directly continued: "If you don't say it, I'll say it on your behalf! These mountain bandits and bullies have plagued the township, slaughtered innocent people, and done evil things one after another, and they really can't finish talking about them for ten days and ten nights! They have deceived everyone and harmed everyone more than once, if everyone thinks that if they hand over those strong men who killed mountain bandits, they will be able to save your lives and our Yujiazhuang, then I have nothing to say in Yu Baoguo! But everyone knows that this is impossible! If these mountain bandits have mobilized so many people this time, what role can they play if they only arrest so many people? Only by breaking down our Yujiazhuang and taking the grain stored in our Yujiazhuang will they be able to spend the winter and make some gains! If we hand over those strong men who have killed the mountain bandits, it will be tantamount to waiting to be killed and giving the helpers to the mountain bandits to be slaughtered! Fellow villagers, let me ask you, do you do such a stupid thing?
Although most of the villagers in Yujiazhuang are farmers, they are not unreasonable people, they just wanted to calm things and not suffer big losses, but now after listening to Yu Baoguo's words, they all reacted!
These ordinary people who used to eat in the fields and honestly made friends, at this time, under the pressure of the mountain bandits outside the dock fort, after a burst of stimulation from Yu Baoguo, they finally shouted in unison: "Don't do it! Don't do it!"
Yu Baoguo saw the blind dates who were still a little timid and timid, and at this time, under his own encouragement, he finally burst out with such morale, and immediately Yu Baoguo was also very happy, and shouted: "Swear to the death, bloody battle to the end!"
"Swear to the death, fight to the end!" Zhuang Ding on the wall naturally understood at this time, and also shouted in unison, after these two slogans were transmitted to the wall, the villagers near the corner of the wall also spontaneously shouted.
Even those old and weak women and children began to shout!
These many voices came together, and although the sound was not neat, the momentum was very amazing.
The iron-handed ghost who was a stone's throw away couldn't help but look stunned, in the eyes of mountain bandits like him, including the ordinary people in these villages in Yujiazhuang, they were just lambs to be slaughtered that his iron-handed ghosts and these mountain bandits wanted!
The reason why he didn't break Yujiazhuang before was just that he had saved a long stream of water with his iron hands, and he didn't do the thing of killing chickens and taking eggs!
Now the common people, who were originally regarded as lambs, have threatened to resist their strong mountain bandits to the death, so that the Iron Hand Ghost can't help but prepare to order an attack on the Dock Fort now.
However, the leader of this large group of mountain bandits with good morale is not his iron-handed ghost.
He could only look at Yu Baoguo on the gatehouse and gritted his teeth, but he didn't say half a word!
Looking at the torches, shining Yu Baoguo and the old chief, the iron-handed ghost gritted his teeth and looked at it for a long time, and finally blushed his face, and in desperation, he slowly rode back to the mountain bandit array.
Many Zhuang Ding on the wall thought that the iron-handed ghost would stop like this, and they all shouted in unison, thinking that they had repelled the attack of the mountain bandits and extinguished the arrogance of the mountain bandits.
Only Yu Baoguo's face was gloomy, and his heart was extremely heavy!
He originally thought that the mountain bandits would not be able to resist attacking the city now, so that he and the others were well prepared, and using the cover of night, maybe they could make a setback to the mountain bandits.
In this way, the next defense is much easier.
Unexpectedly, this irascible and irritable iron-handed ghost in the past was so calm at this time, and after being despised by the ordinary people who looked down on him in the past, this iron-handed ghost did not order the siege of the city, but rode back.
This situation is a victory in the eyes of Zhuang Ding, but in the eyes of Baoguo, it is only the calm before the storm!
The more the Iron Hand Ghost calmed down, the more thunderbolt they would be when they attacked!
At the moment, Yu Baoguo didn't want to hit everyone's morale like this, so he could only appease Zhuang Ding on the one hand, and distribute those old and weak women and children to go home to rest, and continue to confront the mountain bandits!
If the common people want to fight against the mountain bandits, they will definitely not be able to fight in the field, so they can only rely on this high wall to close the gap.
Besides, the iron-handed ghost, after leaving the front of the battle, rode his horse to the place where the mountain bandits commanded the rear formation.
The people here are indeed the black-clothed men who besieged Xia Jiang's Beijing camp guards last time!
After coming here, the Iron Hand Ghost turned over and dismounted, and said angrily: "Yang Zuo, Brother Song, these Diao people are too hateful, please give me an order to take the lead in attacking the city, how about it?"
"Bastard!" The bright-headed Song leader glared at him and said unhappily, "You don't know anything, do you have any position to speak here?"
"But the people are so deceitful that they swear that they would rather die than surrender!" Although the Iron Hand Ghost was extremely in awe of this Song Demon King, he was angered by the people of Yu Baoguo before, so he still stood up and asked to fight.
"Alright, alright!" Demon King Song was about to say something, but Yang Zuo interrupted loudly and said, "Leader Song, there is no need to blame Brother Xiao for this, this time we didn't expect that such a small village with less than two hundred households would dare to resist our elite army of more than a thousand!"
"Yang Zuo Envoy, if you also think that it is better to attack now, my old Song is willing to be the vanguard, and if you don't break it, you won't pay it back!" Song Demon King thought that Yang Zuo Envoy was supporting the Iron Hand Ghost's suggestion to attack now, and immediately hugged his fists and asked for his life.
As soon as he said this, Yang Zuo's envoy and many masters around him were also gossiping and asking for their lives, and for a while, the demons danced wildly, which was really angry.
However, Yang Zuo's envoy waved his hand, shook his head, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, since our Divine Sect was destroyed a hundred years ago, it has been hiding among the people, and it has never dared to show its signs!
"Please show Yang Zuo!" asked a man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, who looked like a scholar more than a mountain bandit.
"It's easy to say!" Yang Zuo smiled confidently, looked at the scholar-like person and said, "Liu Chen, you are the rising star of my teaching, you should know the strategy I have taught since I entered Middle-earth!"
"My subordinates know!" This person turned out to be Liu Chen, and he only heard him say aloud, "Since our sect entered Middle-earth, it has not been accepted by the three religions and nine streams of Middle-earth, and in desperation, we can only take two routes! One is to integrate into the three religions and nine streams to reduce the difficulty of mission! The other is to preach among the people at the bottom, and finally gain political power, so as to facilitate our mission!"
"Not bad, not bad!" Yang Zuo nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "Have these two routes been successful in the past many years of mission?"
"Although the first one is successful, after all, it is not clear from the public, and it cannot make our religion transcend the three religions and nine streams, and the world is often confused, and it cannot achieve the goal of our religion being the only one!"
Liu Chen's expression was straight, and he said slowly, "The second one almost succeeded, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, our sect set off uprisings in various places, and finally let Zhu Chongba take the throne! But Zhu Chongba's heart is very dark, after taking the throne, not only did he not fulfill his promise to expand my sect, but instead made a big conquest of my sect, and finally our sect finally had internal and external troubles, resulting in today's split!"
