Chapter 525 The White Moonlight of Powerful Officials [1v3](29)
Rong Chen kept looking sideways at Bai Wu.
The hair on her temples was black and soft, making her face even more beautiful and charming.
The plain white robe hung loosely on her body, without any unnecessary decoration, but it made the woman as soft as a bone and very charming.
Rong Chen has never been able to distinguish people's appearance.
He always naturally links a person's appearance with his reality.
Kind and sincere people always look better.
But now he suddenly felt that Bai Wu was so beautiful that people could completely ignore what was inside her heart.
But Rong Chen knew.
Her soul is far more pure and kind than her appearance.
Because these villagers had treated her that way, she was able to comfort them regardless of their past grudges.
"Thank you." He suddenly said.
Bai Wu raised her head in confusion, "What did the priest say?"
Rong Chen raised his hand, covered his lips and coughed lightly, "Thank you, Miss Liu, for your help. If you have any needs, just ask us and the temple will take good care of you."
Bai Wu was stunned for a moment and looked directly at him, her watery eyes filled with some unknown emotions, "Is it just the temple?"
Rong Chen did not answer.
He couldn't answer either.
Bai Wu smiled knowingly and looked away, "It doesn't matter. The priest doesn't have to take care of me, a civilian girl. There are thousands of people in Lingnan town waiting for the priest to comfort me."
It's not like Rong Chen didn't hear the teasing in her words.
But he had no choice but to watch her leave in silence.
They were destined for this ending from the beginning——
I can only look at the other person's back, eager to reach him.
However, the moment Bai Wu turned around, she lost her sad expression, and her indifferent eyes were full of cunning.
Sir, please don't thank me.
When you find that the believers who originally served you start to drift away from you.
You just know.
The temptation of demons is much greater than that of gods.
…
These villagers have been hiding in Wuxianzhuang for three days.
Seeing that food was getting less and less, there was still no news from the court.
But there can be no news.
Bai Wu deliberately let Wang notify the bandits and set up traps on the official road, just to delay the incident even longer.
The longer it goes, the more disappointed these people will be with the temple.
The disappointment has accumulated too much, and all she needs to do is give it a little push, and a terrible disaster will break out.
At that time, what should we do with this son of a god who is respected by everyone?
She is looking forward to it.
And the reality was just as Bai Wu expected.
Some of the villagers had already begun to become dissatisfied with the temple.
But no one dared to say it. After all, this was something they had believed in all their lives and could not be destroyed easily.
But on the fourth day, the bandits directly found Wu Xianzhuang. After burning, killing and shooting, less than a hundred people were left alive.
In desperation, Rong Chen had no choice but to take dozens of people and hide in Zhaoyao Mountain.
With death looming over their heads, the villagers huddled in the caves and remained silent guarding the pitifully small amount of food.
It was like the silence before the storm.
But everyone could only tacitly bury this fear and despair deep in their hearts.
Rong Chen had also noticed it a long time ago.
He could only comfort these refugees over and over again.
"The mountain road is very dangerous, and the imperial soldiers and horses are trapped outside the mountain. Let's hold on for a few days, the last few days."
Dissatisfaction finally erupted from the crowd:
"Master Priest, you said this three days ago, but we haven't even seen a horse yet. Tell the truth, will the imperial court really send troops?"
The speaker was none other than Mrs. Zhao from before.
She hugged the young son tightly in her arms, and her face was covered with a dark cloud that was difficult to remove.
She had heard people say it these days.
The temple and the royal family have been at odds for a long time.
The court will most likely ignore the temple's request. After all, Lingnan Town is just a small, remote place in the countryside. Even if it is occupied by bandits, it will have no impact on the imperial city.
Aunt Zhao started talking, and more villagers began to become dissatisfied.
"That's right, there's no room left in the town. Do we have to hide in the mountains and wait to die?"
"Didn't you say that as long as you are pious enough, God will definitely give you blessings? But so many people have died, where is the blessing?"
"Master Priest, for the sake of our dedication to worshiping the Lord God, please quickly think of a solution."
"..."
Bai Wu leaned against a rock and saw all the collapse on the faces of these villagers.
It was she who spread the news that the temple and the royal family had been at odds for a long time.
After she comforted Aunt Zhao that night, Aunt Zhao took care of her "pregnant" every day.
This information was revealed by her intentionally or unintentionally.
Sure enough, the results were quick.
This is what ignorant people are like.
Whoever treats them well will waver in their faith.
They can only see the actual benefits and cannot see what is involved behind the benefits.
Want to wrest the imperial power back from the temple.
Shaking their prestige is the most effective and surest way.
Rong Chen and his party could no longer appease the increasingly agitated crowd.
Seeing that they were about to lose control, the villagers who were originally on guard outside the mountain ran back, shouting all the way:
"Someone from the court is here! We are saved! The bandits are all gone!"
When the villagers in the cave heard the news, they all rushed out.
Sure enough, there was a large group of soldiers on horseback and swords stationed at the foot of the mountain, all of them majestic.
They have wiped out all the rebellious bandits and are now taking stock of the situation.
After seeing Rong Chen leading a group of people down the mountain, the leading general immediately dismounted and saluted.
"The end will come soon. Please forgive me, the priest. All the bandits in Lingnan Town have been killed."
Rong Chen asked someone to help the general up. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't he send a message that the mountain road was blocked and it would be delayed for a few days? You guys arrived so quickly?"
The general smiled and said, "We are not the bandit suppression troops sent by the imperial court. We are the patrol troops stationed in the north of Lingnan Town. We received the eldest princess's order and rushed to Lingnan overnight to rescue the trapped people."
Rong Chen frowned.
Eldest princess?
How did she know the specific situation in Lingnan Town?
Bai Wu lowered her head, hiding the sly look in her eyes.
Of course she contacted him secretly.
Otherwise, how can we achieve our goal?
So after the general explained the situation, she hid behind the crowd, knelt down heavily and shouted, "Thank you, general, and thank you, princess, for saving my life."
All the villagers also knelt down and burst into tears of gratitude.
"The eldest princess is kind and virtuous, saving me is like water or fire."
"Great, we are finally saved. The eldest princess was wise enough to send people to exterminate the bandits so quickly."
"The eldest princess has a clever plan and her life-saving grace is unforgettable."
"..."
After hearing these kind words, Bai Wu couldn't help but curl her lips.
Finally I heard that it was the Heavenly Family that these people were kneeling to worship, not the high priest of the temple.
Things are going more and more in the direction she planned.
