The first thousand one hundred and ninety-five chapters
Chapter 1195: Telling the story
Yang Xuan poured a glass of water and handed it to Hongque, then straightened up and prepared to listen to the truth of the whole matter.
His intuition told him that there would be a big secret hidden in Hongque.
Hongque took a deep breath and closed her eyes gently, seeming to think of some past events that she particularly didn't want to mention.
After a while, she told Yang Xuan the whole story in detail.
The former old leader of the Red Sect has two adopted sons, one of whom is the current leader Sanzhu Zhaluo.
According to convention, the next leader will be chosen from these two adopted sons, but who it will be in the end depends on the old leader.
One of these two adopted sons was named Samdrupzharo and the other was named Kelsang Pova.
Both names have extraordinary qualifications and have made great contributions to the Red Sect.
Their contributions were equally equal, and for a while even the old leader couldn't decide who should be the next leader.
So the old leader came up with an idea. At that time, the Red Sect had two biggest enemies, so the old leader divided the two old enemies into one for each of the two names.
Then he promised the two of them that whoever destroys the old enemy they are responsible for first will become the next successor of the leader!
These two old enemies have been entangled with the Red Cult for decades. Their strength is evenly divided. They have fought countless battles, large and small, with each side having its own victory or defeat.
So this test is not an easy task.
But the two did not back down and began their dangerous journey.
The two old enemies were in the east and the west, with Samdrupharo in charge of the east and Kelsang Powa in charge of the west.
After three years of fighting, a dramatic scene happened.
The two of them actually defeated the old enemy they were responsible for on the same day.
However, Samdruzharo was full of confidence, because according to time, although both of them completed their tasks on the same day, he was two hours earlier than Kelsang Pova, so he believed that the final decision would be
The successor of a leader will definitely be him.
But in the end, everything backfired. The old leader actually publicly announced in front of dozens of senior leaders of the Red Sect that Kelsang Pova would be the successor of the next leader!
Sangzhu Zhaluo was confused at the time and couldn't think too much. In desperation, he directly expressed his dissatisfaction in the main hall, saying that he had completed the task two hours earlier than Gesang Powa. It stands to reason that the next leader would take over.
He should be the right choice!
The old leader did not blame him for contradicting him, but told him that although Kelsang Bova was two hours behind him, there was a reason for this.
In fact, Kelsang Bova captured the enemy's lair three hours earlier than Samdrupzaro. The reason why it took a long time to finally take over the enemy's lair was because Samdrupzaro didn't want to let more people in.
casualties.
Therefore, even when he was absolutely sure, Kelsang Pova suddenly ordered to stop the attack, and instead sent envoys to negotiate with the other party, trying to get the other party to give up resistance and surrender.
In this way, the opponent can avoid casualties in the subsequent trapped beast battle.
As a result, the final time to take over the local headquarters will be delayed.
But Sangzhu Zhaluo was different. In order to reduce the time to complete the task, he did not hesitate to order a direct attack and kill all his opponents when he clearly had the opportunity to minimize his own casualties.
Although the speed was faster, our side paid a lot of unnecessary casualties.
So after some consideration, the old leader decided to select Gesang Powa as the successor to the next leader!
Sanzhu Zhaluo was furious, but he also knew the character of the old leader and would hardly change the decision he made.
What's more, it's such a big deal.
In the days that followed, Sanzhu Zhaluo was always worried about this incident. The more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved.
Obviously he was the first to complete the task, but why should he be the successor of the leader, Kelsang Powá?
This is clearly partiality!
Since then, he has been very negative and lazy in doing things. Even fighting was perfunctory, hoping to express his dissatisfaction in this way.
As a result, because of his perfunctoryness and neglect, he lost a very important battle that was already a sure win.
That battle caused heavy losses to the Red Sect. The old leader was so furious that he directly ordered from the main hall that Sangzhu Zhaluo be pushed out and beheaded!
Sanzhu Zhaluo was so frightened that his whole body became weak. He never expected that the leader would be so cruel to him!
Only then did he clearly realize that in the Red Clothes Sect, the authority of the leader and the interests of the Red Clothes Sect always come first.
Even if he is the adopted son of the leader, he will still be held responsible if he commits a capital crime!
Sanzhu Zhaluo knelt on the ground and begged loudly for mercy, but the old leader was determined to execute him today because the mistake he committed was too serious.
Just when the axemen were about to take Samdrupzharo out to behead him, Kelsang Bova suddenly stood up unexpectedly and interceded.
He told the old leader that although Sanzhu Zhaluo had committed an unforgivable crime, he had also made great contributions to the Red Sect before.
Moreover, Sanzhu Zhaluo is the first warrior of the Red Sect. Although the Red Sect has seemingly surrendered to the four forces at this time, undercurrents are still inevitable.
From the overall perspective, killing Sanzhu Zhaluo at this time is not a good choice.
It is better to record this account first and give Sanzhu Zhaluo a chance to go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious service. If he makes similar mistakes in the future, it will not be too late to convict him at that time.
When the senior leaders of the Red Clothes Sect saw that the future successor to the leader had come out to speak, they who had been silent just now all stood up to plead for Sanzhu Zhaluo.
Each of these people is smarter than the last. When the leader ordered to kill Sanzhu Zhaluo just now, not one of them stood up and spoke.
But when Kelsang Powá came forward to plead for mercy, they immediately began to plead for mercy.
On the surface, he was interceding for Samdruzharo, but in fact, he was expressing his loyalty to Kelsang Bowa, the future successor of the leader.
In the end, the old leader, for the sake of Kelsang Pova, temporarily bypassed Samdruzhaluo once and asked him to lead his troops on the expedition and make meritorious deeds!
Sangzhu Zhaluo also escaped death because of this.
According to normal logic, after this incident, Samdruzharo should have shed tears of gratitude to Kelsang Powa, after all, he saved his life.
But the narrow-minded Samdruzharo did not think so. In his opinion, the reason why Kelsang Powa interceded on his behalf was not to save him.
Rather, they are mocking him in this way!
And just now in the main hall, seeing the scene where the senior officials of the Red Sect expressed their loyalty to Kelsang Bova in a roundabout way, Sangzhu Zhaluo felt like a lump in his throat!
Why, why should he take away the position that originally belonged to me!
Why can he comfortably enjoy his superior rights at the headquarters, but he has to risk his life on an expedition?
