Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth: "You mean, one day, I have to turn against my elder brother Zhu Lingshi and fight to the death, so that I can leave behind my human feelings, right?"
The black robe said calmly: "Once you reach my position, you will understand the mysteries of the world and know how big the world is and how small people are, and those human emotions such as brotherly love, male and female love, and father-son relationships.
It’s all dispensable. By then, you will know how to do it without me teaching you.”
Zhu Chaoshi curled up his lips: "At least now, I still can't understand this. You'd better tell me clearly what great benefits are there that would make me willing to give up all this, even risk huge risks of failure, to pursue
Such benefits.”
The black robe smiled slightly: "The secret must not be leaked. I can only say this much. You don't have to rush to answer me. Joining the Divine Alliance is the way to join the Divine Alliance. If you don't join the Divine Alliance, you can also act like a collaborator. You are very smart.
, and very capable. I appreciate you. Whether as my apostle or as an ally of the Divine Alliance, I will not let you suffer, but..."
At this point, the black robe put away his smile and said coldly: "You have to prove your ability and whether you are qualified to be my apostle. Just like you now have the Heavenly Master Order in your hand, you also need to prove to Lu
Xun and Xu Daofu have proved that you are a trustworthy general of Tianshi Dao, unlike your senior brothers."
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "This is natural. However, if you don't help me command the guerrilla escort fleet, are you leaving this battlefield?"
The black robe smiled slightly: "My work has been completed here. What else is left to do? You have to face the rest by yourself. Remember, if you want to have the opportunity to meet me again and join the Divine Alliance,
You have to talk to me again at the governor's house in Jiangling City."
Having said this, the black robe turned and walked under the commander's platform. More than ten men in black appeared like ghosts from nowhere, escorting him all the way to the lower deck. Soon, an inconspicuous walking boat appeared.
I left the Tianshi and headed towards Changsha County, never to return.
Zhu Chaoshi watched the boat in the black robe go away coldly. At some point, the captain of the Tianshi, a tall black-faced man named Xia Yiqi, stood beside Zhu Chaoshi and usually looked at Zhu Chaoshi.
The attitude of being indifferent and putting his eyes higher than his own was now a complete turn. All because he saw the Heavenly Master's Token in Zhu Chaoshi's hand, and he was staring at the sky.
Master Token's eyes were shining with light, and jealousy and unwillingness were visible to the naked eye, almost written on his face.
Zhu Chaoshi did not look back, and his voice was calm and steady: "Senior Brother Xia, do you really want this token?"
Xia Yiqi swallowed his saliva and forced out a smile: "How dare I have such extravagant hopes? This is the order of the Heavenly Master. Seeing it is like seeing the leader himself. Junior Brother Zhu, you are really capable.
Although he joined the religion late, he gained such trust from the leader and his envoys. Not only was he given the position of general commanding the entire army, but he was also personally awarded the title of Heavenly Master. Such a good official is something that my subordinates would never even dream of."
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the token, and he could no longer move it away. Suddenly, he thought of something, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Hey, this token wasn't there before.
In the hands of the envoy? How could it be..."
Zhu Chaoshi turned his head and looked at Xia Yiqi with a look without any emotion, but it sent a chill down Xia Yiqi's back. It seemed that Zhu Chaoshi suddenly saw his ambition and greed, and he quickly said
: "My subordinate made a mistake for a moment, so please ask Junior Brother Zhu, ah, no, please ask Marshal Zhu to punish me."
Zhu Chaoshi said calmly: "You didn't make any mistakes. You just expressed the doubts in your heart. Even if you didn't say it, this doubt will still exist in the hearts of all the captains and soldiers. It just so happens that I need to hold a pre-war meeting here.
Military Council, please summon the captains of the four giant ships and the captain of the escort fleet, Senior Brother Lin, to burn incense, beat the drums and bang the mao, within a quarter of an hour, I will give orders from this commander's platform."
Xia Yiqi quickly turned around and trotted towards the giant conch horns on the giant ship. Soon, the low and monotonous sound of the conch horns was carried by the river wind and spread throughout the whole country.
A piece of river area, and looking from a distance, you can see people on several giant ships starting to move around, and small boats are also put into the river for transportation purposes. Zhu Chaoshi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he murmured
Said: "Brother Daogui, you must come."
A moment later, on the handsome stage, Zhu Chaoshi was sitting alone on a bed, with a low table in front of him, and the Tianshi Token was placed in the middle of the handsome table, behind him,
There are dozens of bare-chested swordsmen and axemen with red scarves covering their heads, holding ghost-headed swords. Behind the swordsmen, ten large drums are lined up. Ten burly drummers are beating the drums desperately.
If the military order drum at Mao time is not sounded, it will be a crime of missing the army.
And the four captains wearing water-resistant attire, headed by Captain Lin Zihao of the guerrilla escort, were sitting behind the four small tables. Only the last seat was still empty. It should belong to the four giant ships.
The captain of the Kuaiji was Ying Mingzhi, Yingjiu’s younger brother.
On an incense table in front of Zhu Chaoshi, an incense candle had been burned out. The last bit of fire light penetrated into the millet where the incense candle was inserted. It immediately roasted the few grains of millet where the incense candle was inserted until they were all burnt.
It turned into a wisp of clear smoke and dissipated invisible. At the same time, the loud noise from the ten-sided drum also stopped abruptly.
Zhu Chaoshi's expression was calm, while the expressions of the other four captains changed slightly at the same time. Everyone knew that beating drums to gather generals in this army was a basic military order, but in the past, because of Zhu Chaoshi's low status, no one
If he really takes him seriously, even Yingjiu and Fan Wubing dared to openly contradict him in front of him. This time, Xia Yiqi had already made it clear when he informed everyone that he had obtained the Heavenly Master Order, but this wise decision
He was late on purpose. Obviously, he was not convinced that Zhu Chaoshi got the order from the Heavenly Master, so he wanted to protest in this way.
Xia Yiqi coughed lightly and said, "I'm going to urge Junior Brother Ying. His boat is on the outermost side, a little far away. I'm afraid it's a little..."
Zhu Chaoshi shook his head: "No matter how far away you are, it is still much closer than Senior Brother Lin from the outer escort fleet. And Senior Brother Lin arrived in less than half a moment. Senior Brother Ying, shouldn't you?"
Please explain, why are you late so coincidentally, and you happened to be on stage just as the drums stopped playing?"
