Chapter 144: Peace and Tao, no suffering in heaven and earth?
When the army appeared in Fenggu County, all the refugees realized that this was the court's disaster relief team.
The flags are flying, and all the uniforms are in standard armor.
Gongs, drums, trumpets, and singing to clear the way.
Protected in the middle of the team were baggage trucks loaded with goods, passing through two deep ruts.
The flag, which is several sizes smaller than the Qing flag, and the jade plaques held by the surrounding ceremonial guards clearly indicate the identity of the leader.
"It is indeed a disaster relief team, and it is indeed the Prime Minister who personally takes action."
"This kind of battle cannot reverse the fate of the refugees... What did that Ji Qingzhi do to the refugees?"
Xu Chong's eyes swept around and could not find anything unusual.
The disaster relief team is here to save lives, which is different from the Golden Armor Pagoda.
So they could only move forward slowly while dispersing the crowded crowd.
It took a long time before the vanguard finally appeared outside the city.
At this moment.
A shocking scream spread in all directions.
"——What is martial arts?!"
"!!!"
Xu Chong's face changed wildly, and he turned his head suddenly and looked towards the place where the voice came from: "Who is it?!"
This cry was extremely grand, and the person who spoke of it was at least in the realm of body-washing!
Definitely not a refugee!
However, the refugees were too dense. In the area where the sound came from, there were at least tens of thousands of people suspected of this, and it was impossible to pinpoint an individual!
Fortunately, Xu Chong cannot be found, but someone can.
A thunderbolt fell suddenly, shining in all directions.
——Crack!
Amid the shocking explosions, thunder and lightning shrank, and one person was picked up from among the densely packed refugees who were still in a daze.
As expected, it was Lou Youzhi who took action and found the person who was shouting.
However.
A louder sound than before came from another area.
"There is peace and justice, and there is no suffering in heaven and earth!!!"
As soon as the sound wave appeared, it quickly spread in all directions.
Although the same thunderbolt came down and captured the man, it was too late.
The moment all the refugees heard the words "Peace and justice, no suffering in heaven and earth", the confusion on their faces was replaced by extreme hatred.
"There is peace and justice, and there is no suffering in heaven and earth!!!"
"There is peace and justice, and there is no suffering in heaven and earth!!!"
"There is peace and justice, and there is no suffering in heaven and earth!!!"
"..."
Roar.
Roaring one after another.
No matter male or female, young or old, no matter how enlightened they were, they all roared along.
Xu Chongqing clearly saw that in the arms of a woman not far from the city wall, the baby, who had no ability to love, hate or speak at all, had a ferocious face and started roaring!!
Xu Chong's heart beat hard as if he had been hit by a giant hammer.
He already understood what Taoist Master Taiping wanted to do.
Stir up refugees and hate Daqing!
"If there is peace and harmony, there will be no suffering in heaven and earth?"
Extremely cold words were squeezed out from Xu Chong's teeth, "What a world without suffering!!"
What will the refugees do when they hate Daqing to the point of losing their minds?
There's no need to guess at all.
As expected.
After nine consecutive times, the content of the roar suddenly became messy.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill Bao Qing!!! Revenge Mr. Jiang!!!"
"Hahahahahaha, I hope all living beings in the world will not be affected by natural disasters or man-made disasters!!!"
"..."
The refugees shed tears of blood and roared with extreme hatred as they attacked the relief troops.
They had no sharp weapons or tough armor, so they relied on their flesh and blood to launch a daring attack without fear of death!
On the other hand, on the army side, although the line was extremely long, it was obvious that there was a leader coordinating each section, and appropriate responses were made in a matter of seconds.
Formation, defense, counterattack.
The moment the two sides came into contact, tens of thousands of refugee corpses were left behind.
Xu Chong stood dumbly, watching all this blankly.
"Xu Xiaoyou, can I be here?"
A luxurious old man who looked to be in his sixties, took advantage of the breeze and accidentally arrived, landing on the top of the city.
"Are you... the Prime Minister of the Building?"
Xu Chongru woke up from his dream and immediately revealed his body and said urgently: "Please give the order to the Prime Minister immediately to stop the officers and soldiers from killing!!"
"it's useless."
Lou Youzhi shook his head and sighed.
"How could it be useless?!"
Xu Chong was very anxious and said quickly: "This kind of evil method will definitely not last too long. It will definitely be eliminated by dawn tomorrow at the latest..."
"Then what?"
Lou Youzhi interrupted Xu Chong unceremoniously, "I can indeed order these officers and soldiers to only defend and not take action. Even if most of them are killed, it is not impossible, but what happens next?"
"Even I don't know the details of this method."
"Do you think the imperial court will let these millions of people who may be manipulated at any time live?"
Deng Deng Deng.
Xu Chong took three steps back, his face pale.
He knew that what Lou Youzhi said was right.
Even if this method of controlling people's hearts can actually only last for an hour or even half an hour, and will never be effective again, so what?
As long as there is no certainty, these millions of people will always be a time bomb for Daqing.
So, being manipulated just once is enough.
This time, was it just Emperor Qing who wanted to kill these refugees?
No!
With this time, no matter whether they are neutral, support Emperor Qing, or are originally seeking refugees, everyone in the imperial court will only have one choice!
Let these people die!
"Hehehe, millions of lives..."
Xu Chong laughed and clapped his hands repeatedly, "So cruel, so cruel!"
Among these millions of people, including Canglong people, including Zhao Liu, there are many faces he is familiar with.
In the beginning, he was able to keep these people.
Even if it is packaged and sent to the flower family, it is not difficult to arrange for a mere 10,000 people.
But now...
He can't do it anymore.
He simply couldn't find these people in the dense crowd.
"No matter what your mood is, put it aside for now."
Lou Youzhi stared at Xu Chong expressionlessly, "Tell me, what exactly happened here these days?"
"Okay, I'll tell you."
Xu Chong took a deep breath, "But you also have to tell me what you know."
Lou Youzhi's eyes flashed.
Xu Chong looked at each other without fear: "You must know more than me."
After a long time, Lou Youzhi nodded: "Okay."
At that moment, Xu Chong calmed down and told Lou Youzhi everything he had learned from Zhao Liu.
From the beginning to the end, Lou Youzhi had no expression on his face.
"That's all."
After Xu Chong finished speaking, he looked directly at Lou Youzhi.
"It seems that my guess was correct."
Lou Youzhi turned around and looked at those earth-and-stone houses that looked extremely abrupt and uncoordinated.
"What did you guess?"
Xu Chong asked.
"On that day, when His Majesty appointed me as the relief envoy, he also made an additional decree."
Lou Youzhi pointed to the officers and soldiers below who were red-eyed and began to take the initiative to attack, "Ask the Thirteenth Prefecture of Yongzhou and all the military stations to assist in the relief work."
"The garrison is composed of ten thousand households, each with fifty thousand to sixty thousand soldiers. The entire Yongzhou has a total of 600,000 horses."
"And the officers and soldiers at the garrison station are a mixture of ordinary people and officials."
"When you reach the centurion level, you need a warrior to hold the position."
"If it's just for disaster relief, 200,000 is enough. Sending more people is just a waste of manpower and material resources."
"Not to mention, I also brought out 200,000 more elite soldiers from the capital."
"Is this disaster relief?"
Lou Youzhi waved his sleeves and sneered: "No, this is to ensure that all these millions of refugees can be killed!"
"you mean……"
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes.
"It's obvious."
Lou Youzhi said calmly, "In fact, when I saw these houses that shouldn't appear, I already knew that they were the work of Taiping Dao, but I never expected that the Taoist master of Taiping Dao, Ji Qingzhi, actually
I will be so cooperative with His Majesty."
"Why does he want to cooperate with Emperor Qing?"
Xu Chongyin said with a sullen face, "We don't know what Emperor Qing can get, but Taiping Dao just supplements a mere thousand warriors. Even if there are people with excellent qualifications among them, the two are not equal at all."
"Isn't it equal? It's okay if it's not equal."
Lou Youzhi lowered his eyes, "This shows that the Taoist master of Taiping Dao is basically the imperial court... or even his Majesty's people."
Xu Chong's whole body stiffened suddenly, and his hands and feet were cold.
In this way, everything is explained.
From the beginning to the end, the natural disaster in Yongzhou was completely under the control of Emperor Qing.
Even if there were Jiang Zhihong, Dou Tianyuan, Lou Youzhi... and all the other variables, he still could not escape from this control in the end.
Emperor Qing, is he so terrifying?
"Ha, I knew you would meet here."
Dou Tianyuan opened the door and came out.
His playful expression only lasted for half a breath, and he immediately turned livid.
He saw the 'disaster relief' scene.
A voice that was almost like a beast's roar came out of Dou Tianyuan's throat: "Lou Heizi, I need an explanation!"
"explain?"
Lou Youzhi smiled disdainfully, "The explanation is that all of us were played by His Majesty."
"His Majesty?"
Dou Tianyuan was startled and looked at Xu Chong.
Xu Chong dumbly recounted everything Taiping Taoist had done, and then said: "Xiang Lou speculates that Ji Qingzhi is a member of Emperor Qing."
"..."
Dou Tianyuan's face turned completely ugly, and his tone was mixed with irrepressible anger: "No wonder, no wonder he suddenly asked me to come to Yongzhou to supervise the rescue..."
"Obviously, you are getting too close to me, which makes him a little dissatisfied."
Lou Youzhi said calmly, "It's called Du Relief, but it's actually a warning to you."
Dou Tianyuan's heart sank, "It's just a warning, I have no problem, but what you said..."
Everyone said that Lou had the power to dominate the government and the public, and could cover the sky with one hand.
Yes, on the surface, that is indeed the case.
After all, His Majesty ignored government affairs and left all military and state affairs to Lou Youzhi to handle.
But looking deeper, this also means that Lou Youzhi has never disobeyed His Majesty.
Only this time.
All the officials submitted a letter, asking for relief envoys, and raising supplies both public and private for Anguo.
No matter which one, it really offends Ni Lian.
"Don't worry, he won't kill me."
Lou Youzhi said indifferently, "Unless he wants to see the imperial court completely paralyzed."
It sounded easy, but Dou Tianyuan felt even worse.
Because he remembered that in the past, Lou Youzhi said, ‘He can’t kill me’, but now he said, ‘He won’t kill me’.
The difference between the two is cloud and mud.
"Mr. Jiang had a question before he deployed force."
Xu Chong suddenly interjected, "If you want to kill people, why use natural disasters? With a large army pressing down on the country and labeling them as rebels, they can kill millions of people in one day. Even if they slaughter the entire Yongzhou, how much effort will it take?"
"My answer at the time was that maybe a simple massacre would not bring any benefit to Emperor Qing, and the death must be caused by a natural disaster."
"Haha, now it seems that all we have to do is die in the place where the natural disaster strikes."
Xu Chong smiled coldly, "I don't want to massacre him, just because he wants to be a cousin and also wants to erect a memorial arch."
The blatant and treacherous words blurted out just like that, and they came from the mouth of the 'Taizu Legacy'.
Lou Youzhi and Dou Tianyuan raised their eyebrows at the same time.
"I can see that you are not on Emperor Qing's side."
Xu Chong raised his palm and said, "I don't know what you want to do, and I don't want to know what you want to do, but a side skill I created may be helpful to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a little white light emerged from Xu Chong's palm.
The rich aura of spiritual energy on it simultaneously made the two of them look shocked.
Control, condense spiritual energy...
How can there be such a side trick in the world?
Xu Chong didn't say anything, just waited.
The attention of Lou Youzhi and Dou Tianyuan was quickly attracted, and their expressions changed continuously.
Because they could clearly see that as time passed, the white aura gradually shrank, dimmed, and disappeared.
"I tried it when I was in Binzhou a few days ago."
Xu Chong opened his mouth and continued, "In Binzhou, this aura will always exist without any sign of dissipating. This situation will only occur in Yongzhou, or in places where natural disasters strike."
"Normally speaking, it would take a long, long time for such condensed spiritual energy to dissipate. Moreover, it does not dissipate, it just adheres and blends into the surrounding people or objects."
Lou Youzhi looked solemn, "But just now, not only did it dissipate so quickly, but I didn't feel where it dissipated. It was like it completely disappeared out of thin air."
"What do you mean..."
Dou Tianyuan narrowed his eyes, "Is this what your Majesty needs?"
"It's not that simple."
Lou Youzhi glanced at Dou Tianyuan, "If it's just spiritual energy, the royal family is definitely not lacking."
"I guess it should be spiritual energy and life. The two combined together can transform into something else in the land of natural disasters."
Xu Chong said slowly, "And this kind of thing is what Emperor Qing really needs."
Lou Youzhi and Dou Tianyuan looked at each other, and a flash of realization flashed at the same time.
"What did you think of?"
Xu Chong asked.
"Shouyuan."
Dou Tianyuan slowly spit out two words.
"Shouyuan?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, "I remember that Emperor Qing is only less than sixty now, right?"
Sixty years old may be a hurdle for ordinary people.
But for an emperor who never paid attention to government affairs, it was nothing at all.
What's more, this emperor is the emperor of a fantasy dynasty.
"There's something I haven't told you."
Dou Tianyuan sighed and said: "People with Taizu's bloodline, whether they are royal family, folk blood descendants, or Taizu's legacy like you, all have one unique advantage - there is no upper limit to their qualifications."
"It can't be said that there is no upper limit. Anyway, those with good qualifications are far better than the peerless geniuses among normal people."
"At the same time, this unique blessing has a limitation - the better the qualifications, the shorter the lifespan."
"For example, the King Qian you have seen looks like he is about to die of old age, but he is actually ten years younger than me."
Dou Tianyuan said, his tone lowered: "And the reason why Your Majesty is Your Majesty, not King Qian... is because his qualifications are better than King Qian."
"I see……"
Xu Chong looked at the corpses strewn outside the city and nodded numbly.
Think about it too.
In the mortal world of the previous life, even if the emperor's life span was not lower than that of ordinary people, they would tirelessly pursue immortality.
How much more so here?
An emperor with unparalleled power and invincible power has a lifespan that is not as long as that of an ordinary person.
Then, no matter what crazy things this emperor does, it can be explained.
"and."
Dou Tianyuan spoke again and pointedly said: "Not even the rules of immortality can change this."
"..."
Xu Chong's heart was shaken, and he pretended to be calm: "Rule of immortality? Is there such a thing?"
"At the beginning, the imperial court and Taiping Dao faced off in Canglong County over the fragments of the cave that contained the rules of immortality."
Dou Tianyuan didn't care and continued: "If the rule of longevity is useful to your majesty, how could it be possible that only a few local blood-clothed guards would take action? Even if you are wary of my embezzlement, wouldn't you choose a few people who can check and balance me? Go together?"
After saying these words, Xu Chong knew that Dou Tianyuan might have long suspected that the fragment of Changshengtian was in his place.
I tell myself this at this time to make myself feel at ease.
"Obviously, His Majesty, or rather the successive emperors, have found a way to extend their lifespan."
Lou Youzhi said lightly, "Unfortunately, we don't know how this method works."
"I advise you not to do stupid things."
Dou Tianyuan looked solemn and said seriously: "At least in the past few years, please stop messing around."
Lou Youzhi ignored it and looked at Xu Chong: "Where is Jiang Zhihong buried?"
"In the city."
Xu Chong replied, "A place where you can never see the battlefield."
"That's good."
Lou Youzhi nodded, took advantage of the wind, and headed for a carriage behind the relief team.
Dou Tianyuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and finally sighed.
Xu Chong suddenly said: "Sir, please go back to Beijing."
"you……"
Dou Tianyuan raised his eyebrows.
"My subordinate has been guilty for a long time and it's time to go to jail."
Xu Chong showed a smile.
Why……
Dou Tianyuan sighed and opened the door first.
Xu Chong took one last look at the battlefield and stepped forward.
At that last glance, he still didn't find any familiar figures.
Some are just avengers who use flesh and blood as weapons.
