Most of the local powerful and aristocratic families have fundamental conflicts with people like him who are religious uprisings.
These people have power, wealth, sex, glory, wealth, and everything else. They only need to continue to strengthen themselves and safeguard their own interests, which is enough to continue the family and power.
Most of them are the guardians of the rules and the creators of order.
On the contrary, forces like the Pudu Cult are destroyers of rules and order. They seek rebirth from destruction and find a future from destruction.
One needs to be maintained and the other needs to be destroyed. Who has the upper hand depends on who has greater power.
There is no doubt that the strength of a prosperous Dayong Dynasty, aristocrats, powerful families, and sects and gangs combined together will definitely be far superior to people like them who have their roots rooted in mud legs.
Today, although the rebellion is in full swing in the south, the land in the north is still a scene of singing and dancing.
Therefore, compared with the power of those powerful families and even nobles, the Pudu Sect is far inferior.
Even so, powerful families still want to annex land and recruit people, which is simply further plundering the survival soil of Pudu Sect.
However, no matter how angry and unwilling he is, he cannot reverse the situation unless he can provide a large amount of food and materials to help those who believe in the Pudu Sect to survive this snow disaster.
At this time, in the heart of the holy envoy, in addition to the anger of having his faith betrayed and provoked, he was also filled with sadness and anxiety.
But soon, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were extremely sinister, and he said,
"Don't worry, as long as we can get food, medicine and various supplies to keep out the cold, they will still come back and continue to believe in the Great Purdue Buddha.
Moreover, with these incentives, our believers will become even more, which is a rare opportunity."
One of the subordinates had some understanding of the current situation and understood that what the Holy Envoy said was true, but there was a prerequisite, and he couldn't help but worry,
"But we don't have much of various materials in hand now, and they can only be used by a few people."
"You are really stupid. Don't forget that although most of our believers in Lingwu City are from poor families and need our own help, there is still a very powerful family that belongs to us." p>
Another subordinate twitched his brows, showing a look of joy, and then hesitantly said,
"Could it be that the Zhou family is what the holy envoy said? But the Zhou family just completed the latest offering not long ago, and a large amount of supplies have been shipped out of Lingwu City. If we go now, we may not be able to get anything."<
/p>
According to their own observations, this heavy snowfall is extremely unusual and may affect a wide range of areas. The Yanzhou area located downstream of Lingwu City must also be a key disaster target.
The headquarters of Pudu Sect is in Yanzhou, with countless believers and more help is needed.
At this juncture, the Zhou family very generously transferred a large amount of materials to the headquarters, which must have been praised and valued.
It is unreasonable for them to attack the Zhou family at this time, and there is no possibility of success.
In essence, the Zhou family and them are not the same people, and they have almost no contact with each other.
"Hmph, at this time and that time, if it were a normal situation, of course I couldn't make trouble unreasonably, but the current situation is special. So many believers are in urgent need of our help. The Zhou family is also a member of the Pudu Church and has the obligation to shoulder its own share.
Responsibility.
I asked him to provide 3,000 people, a month's rations, and corresponding medicines and cold-warming supplies, which is already a concession."
The two people next to them took a deep breath. This holy envoy was really cruel. He came up and slashed directly on the main artery of the Zhou family.
Others don't know it, but the two people who are the trusted subordinates of the holy envoy know it very well.
After so many years of blood transfusions from Pudu, the Zhou family has become an empty shell in name only.
It’s not that I really squeezed everything out, but that my strength has shrunk greatly, and my vitality was severely damaged not long ago. If this happens again, I’m afraid it will be the opposite.
"Well, Holy Envoy, when we do this, do we have to think carefully about it?
The Zhou family has contributed a lot of resources to the headquarters over the years, and has been reduced to the bottom among the aristocratic families in Lingwu City. Before the snow disaster broke out, the Zhou family was so lucky to directly transport a large amount of supplies. Now they want to let them
It would be very difficult to raise supplies for three thousand people for a month.
I'm afraid, I'm afraid"
What he was afraid of was something he didn’t dare to say out loud in the end.
The holy envoy was excited at first, with the idea that he would kill his Taoist friends rather than die as a poor Taoist. He planned to trick the Zhou family once and then create opportunities for himself to make meritorious deeds. It can be said that he is a model of self-interest at the expense of others and a non-toxic and unhusband.
However, the warning given to him by his subordinate temporarily calmed down his boiling mood. His active thoughts were no longer so stubborn, but he began to analyze the situation.
Yes, as the saying goes, if a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, it will push people hard, and they are not just weak. Resistance and even counterattack are inevitable.
He once thought of the scene a few days ago when he sneaked into Zhou's house secretly in the dark night, entered Zhou Gushan's study, and put pressure on the other party.
At that time, he believed that he had the support of the leader and a group of senior officials, and the Zhou family had indeed committed a taboo, so he suppressed the opponent severely, but Zhou Gushan already had obvious resistance.
If he forces Zhou Gushan again this time, the result may be hard to predict.
For a moment, the holy envoy also began to hesitate.
"That's all, three thousand people. I'm afraid the Zhou family won't agree even if they die. Let's just have five hundred people. In addition, the materials borrowed from him will be regarded as being withdrawn in advance for the next offering. In this way, the Zhou family should be able to
Agree."
He has a good idea. If I don’t steal or rob, can I borrow the head office from you?
This is not meant to take advantage of you. Whatever you give this time can be converted into the corresponding value in the next offering and you will take less.
The two subordinates breathed a sigh of relief this time and praised the Holy Envoy Ying Ming repeatedly.
Just when the Pudu Sect's holy envoy was about to send someone to ask for help from the Zhou family, suddenly excited voices came from outside the courtyard.
Just as the Holy Envoy was about to send someone to inquire, he saw the door being pushed open from the outside, bringing in a gust of icy cold wind, mixed with snowflakes as big as goose feathers.
The hair, eyebrows, and clothes of the person who came in were all weighed down by the falling snow. Because the temperature inside the house was still okay, the snow melted in a very short period of time, making him wet and like a drowned rat.
But he didn't care at all, but said a little happily,
"Holy envoy, someone has come to deliver food and porridge. I heard that they are from the Meng family, and there are also accompanying officials."
Meng family?
The Holy Envoy's expression changed. Unknown to others, was he still unaware of the grudges between his family and Meng Zhao?
