474: Mutiny at Chengkang Temple (Part 2) [Please vote for me](1/2)
"Broken?"
The scribe's words fell like thunder in Gong Xiqiu's ears.
He hurriedly asked: "What about the Longwu County Sheriff?"
Although Gong Xiqiu is obsessed with playing beads and singing music all day long, he only contributes to the war, but it does not mean that he has no understanding of the forces around him. Previously, Xin State was strong and regarded Shiwu as an insignificant appendage. Now it is his turn Geng Guo made the decision and also regarded Shiwu as a big scapegoat who could take advantage of him. Shiwu was a big scapegoat who could be bullied and squeezed.
However, Gong Xiqiu didn't think so.
It doesn’t matter if it’s Shi Wu or Bei Mo.
Both have one common characteristic.
Born in a vast but resource-poor land.
Although the range for physical activities is large, the material output of this land is far from keeping up with their ambitions. In addition, the neighbors are rich and powerful, and the deep-rooted jealousy and disgust continue to ferment and decay over time.
The arrogance of Shiwu, who claims to be the center of the world, and the thieves' style of being a lowly and small person in the Northern Desert, constantly stealing and learning from others for their own use, is somewhat related to their lack of resources. The harder they are suppressed, the more likely they will be to rebound once they gain power. It will only become more powerful.
Gong Xiqiu had previously received news that before Shen Tang took office in Longwu County, the government office of Longwu County was massacred by Shiwu. The methods were cruel and violent, such as dragging the people of the government office alive to death and using hooks to break open the men. The child's abdomen hooks out his internal organs...
After the woman was captured, she was tortured and humiliated.
In the eyes of the people of Shiwu, their behavior is not considered killing. What they are killing is not a living person, but a despicable, lowly, dirty but shameless thief who takes possession of their wealth. Moreover, this idea is not unique to a few people.
It goes deep into the heart of every militant. From top to bottom, everyone, male, female, old and young, can go into battle to kill the enemy!
Gong Xiqiu didn't dare to think deeply.
If Yonggu Pass is completely lost, and all the power of Shiwuju goes south, what kind of hell will it be like on earth!
Immediately afterwards, I thought of Shen Tang.
As the governor of Longwu County, it is impossible for her to retreat before the battle.
His fate is probably to coexist and die with Longwu County.
Seeing that he was nervous, the scribe asked: "Are you very concerned?"
It's really strange.
He has been secretly observing Gong Xiqiu for several years, and has a better understanding of his temper. On the surface, the other party seems easy to coax and deceive, and it seems that he can cheat him by giving him a piece of maltose and sell it to the Elephant House. Strangers are also very wary.
This Shen Tang...
There shouldn’t be many interactions with Gong Xiqiu, right?
Gong Xiqiu was unhappy: "Of course I care!"
How hard it is to find a close friend in life!
Scribes: "..."
He seemed to have fallen into some strange and long silence - although the Gongxi clan was open-minded and occasionally there were male clansmen who looked at each other, they were a minority after all. At least, the scribes had never thought that Gongxi Qiu, a fool, could be like this. bias.
He doesn't show off either.
"I don't know."
Gong Xiqiu automatically understood: "Whereabouts unknown?"
The scribe added: "According to the news received a few days ago, Yonggu Pass was broken, but not completely. The border barrier was indeed completely broken by Shiwu's army, and the defenders suffered heavy losses. However, for some reason, the border barrier was raised again.
Already."
The main siege force of Shiwu were all dumbfounded.
Gong Xiqiu: "...What about Longwu County?"
Scribe: "Longwu County seems to have received the news a long time ago. If the walls are strong and the fields are clear, the losses should be acceptable."
The length of the information is limited, but you can imagine that the actual scene is far more thrilling than the scribe's understatement.
Gongxi Qiuyu was puzzled: "How can the shattered border barrier be rebuilt in a short period of time? Even if it could, it would not be enough to withstand Shiwu's full pressure on the border..." However, it is a good thing to defend it. He was worried.
You can also let go a little bit.
The scribe chuckled: "Now that you are a mud bodhisattva and cannot save yourself when crossing the river, do you have time to care about other irrelevant people?"
Gong Xiqiu was so angry that he puffed his cheeks unconsciously.
"You need to take care of it!"
The scribe's always gloomy expression evoked sarcasm.
"Of course I have to take care of you."
Gong Xiqiu was about to scold him back, "Who are you?", but then he thought about it, elder brother is like father, this guy is really me.
Then he put out the fire angrily.
Before leaving, the scribe looked deeply at Gong Xiqiu: "Three days from now, Chengkang Temple, you will only have one chance."
Gong Xiqiu's back froze, and he coldly snorted: "I know."
Chengkang Temple has extraordinary significance to the Geng Dynasty royal family. Among the royal family, concubines and clan women who were lucky enough to have no children but have not given birth to children must be born here. Handwritten scriptures are recited every day to serve the royal family and the family.
Pray for the national destiny of the Geng Kingdom.
the most important is--
King Geng and the Queen Mother are also here.
Yes, you read that right.
Although the status of the Queen Mother is very valuable, and the country owner Zheng Qiao spent a lot of money to support her, that is because Zheng Qiao and the Queen Mother have reached a mutually beneficial cooperation. Now, Zheng Qiao lives in the land of the original Xin Kingdom, and belongs to the Geng Kingdom
Most of the country fell into the hands of the nobles headed by King Pig. The King Pig and the Queen Mother did not have any affection for each other, and they even had a blood feud.
The Queen Mother's treatment was naturally nothing more than face-saving.
King Pig was determined to humiliate him again.
Her life was difficult.
In order to save the lives of her family, under the guidance of her confidants, she thought of the way to become a monk in Chengkang Temple. At least on the surface, King She did not dare to disrespect her as his legitimate mother! Of course, it is impossible for a king and queen mother to become a monk in name only.
He still went out of the palace to practice on his behalf to benefit the country. The courtiers objected for a while but agreed, and the Queen Mother was able to successfully move into Chengkang Temple.
However, the Geng royal family has a mental disorder inherited from their ancestors.
King Sheng saved his life from Zheng Qiao with his inhuman forbearance, and he was able to secretly accumulate strength to fight back. His brain is not normal. When it comes to "holding grudges", he is about the same as Zheng Qiao. How can he make the Queen Mother feel comfortable?
day?
After the Queen Mother moved into Chengkang Temple, he ordered people to find a few men and women from the folk, disguised as Salmonites, and secretly sent them to Chengkang Temple, so that they could seduce the Queen Mother, who had been widowed for many years, and lure them to follow Dianluan every day.
Falling Phoenix.
King She also used this opportunity to threaten the Queen Mother.
This humiliation has its beginning and end.
The forbidden love between the aunt and the concubine was cruel to the body and mind, and even other female relatives who actually practiced here were poisoned. Since then, Chengkang Temple was nominally a place to pray for the fortune of the Geng Kingdom, but secretly it was a place for pigs.
It was a place where the king and his close friends and like-minded clan members had fun and had fun. The humiliated female clan members only cared about their reputation and dared not speak out in anger.
Looking for fun, King She is also greedy for life and afraid of death. He is often worried about someone assassinating him, but he cannot make a big show of letting people know what he has done - after all, he still needs the support of the scribe group, and his reputation cannot be too bad.
Therefore, the number of people they lead is not many, but they are better than the elite. Looking at the entire Geng Kingdom, no one can hurt themselves from their hands!
Three days later, Chengkang Temple.
A group of only a few dozen people, carriages and horses passed through disguise and quietly drove into Chengkang Temple. Under the mountain gate, there were people waiting for them for a long time.
"No need to be polite, just carry on as usual."
The middle-aged man at the head waved to excuse himself. He was dressed like an ordinary rich man. He didn't look eye-catching, but he had a fat body and a face full of greasy fat. His eyes were not big.
It was so crowded that only one line remained.
Then he invited the person beside him: "Uncle Wang, please."
The man called "Uncle Wang" was much older than him. His beard and hair were mostly gray, and his face was wrinkled and furrowed, bearing the traces of time. His appearance was square, but his eyes had an aura of vulgarity, and he stared at him.
I feel uncomfortable all over.
He said: "You are so brave."
The middle-aged man is the Pig King in disguise.
He chuckled and said: "What good is my nephew? Naturally, I want to think about Uncle Wang. What Uncle Wang wants, my nephew will take risks and have the courage to do it."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Although the uncle of King She was addicted to wine and sex all day long, he still had a few brushes, held military power, and was also the undisputed patriarch in the clan. He had been arrogant and domineering all his life, but he had some unresolved problems. He once treated him
Brother Wang, a young concubine of the previous leader of Geng Kingdom, fell in love at first sight. But after Brother Wang died, she was ordained as a nun in Chengkang Temple.
He could only look at the beautiful woman in the temple accompanied by the ancient Buddha with a green lantern, sighing at her wasted youth, and felt sorry for her.
I didn’t expect King She to be so reckless.
Even the nominal concubine dared to touch her. You must know that a crazy person like Zheng Qiao is respectful to these women. At this time, another person said: "Don't waste time in front of the mountain gate. Although there are no outsiders here, after all,
To be continued...
