Astral Apostle Chapter 264: Separate from Huyang

Beside the official road, in the open-air tea shop.

Many passers-by stopped here, drinking tea and chatting.

The topic mentioned, naturally, cannot escape the recent changes in the current situation, which is precisely the failure of the imperial court to conquer Huyang.

"Then Chen Feng raised the anti-flag and gathered a million people in Huyang. This is a giant bandit that has not been seen in a century. Now that the officers and soldiers have been repelled, I don't know what else to do."

"As a rebel, most of them will swept the world, and then the war will be repeated, and the world will be in chaos."

"Alas, the court's quest was fruitless, and Huyang was also lost. Now that Chen Feng is full of wings, I think the court is no longer able to control it."

"Hmph, it's not a good thing for officers and soldiers to flood Huyang."

"Speak carefully, speak carefully!"

Everyone, you talk to me every word.

This is located in the northern part of the Central Plains. The Huyang Rebellion has not spread to this place. Although everyone has a solemn tone, they are worried about the future, but they are not panicked.

Now that Chen Feng's name has been linked to the word "anti-thief", the people outside of Huyang dare not support Chen Feng unequivocally. The conversations are mostly restrained, and most of them stand cautiously in the court's position.

Chen Feng, people from all over the world have mixed feelings about this person. They admire this person's behavior of eliminating evil and punishing the powerful and powerful, but also feel that this person has caused chaos in the world.

"The Immortal"

The wealthy people hate it, those who can afford food and clothing are in awe, and occasionally complain, only those at the bottom have **** support. Everyone wants to stay away.

In the corner of the tea shop, there are two young people sitting, one in black and one in white.

The young man in white is named Wei Zhong, with a warm temperament. The young man in black was called Jiang Di, with sharp eyebrows.

The two of them went out of the same school, and they are called brothers and sisters. They have been down the mountain for many days.

Listening to others chatting, Jiang Di's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth twitched:

"This Chen Feng is called to eliminate evil for the people and to do justice for the sky. Brother, what do you think of this person?"

Wei Zhong took a sip of the tea soup and said softly, "Junior brother, but I want to ask, is this person worth working for?"

Jiang Di laughed: "Yes, this person calls himself a civil uprising, which is probably just the appetite of his senior brother, and he is the number one expert in the world today, and he may be able to make a career."

Hearing this, Wei Zhong pondered for a while, then shook his head:

"The declaration of this man during the uprising was 'to deceive the people by relying on the sky, make himself a prince, make up for the equality of the people, and punish the powerful and powerful'. Although he is quite arrogant, it is more like a rise to coerce the grievances of the people, and it is not a long-term plan to improve people's livelihood. .

People's grievances can only be used temporarily, and they can be used to swept the world for a while. However, if one rush, two decline and three exhaustions, the middle way will be unsustainable. The root of all people's pursuit is still food and clothing, and venting their anger can only be used temporarily. .

Besides, people must have their own personalities. After Chen Feng became powerful, some people under his command would be corrupt, greedy for utilitarianism, self-serving, and also above the people. How can we talk about equality at that time? So in my opinion, this Chen Fengyong is brave, but in fact, he can only set off a chaotic world, causing a temporary disaster, and it may be difficult to achieve in the end. "

After hearing this, Jiang Di smiled softly: "What my brother sees is quite consistent with me. It can only hold people's hearts and minds for a while, and it won't last long."

Wei Zhong raised his brows: "Isn't the younger brother also optimistic about Chen Feng?"

Jiang Di curled his lips and commented casually: "This Chen Feng has a sloppy habit, is too violent, relies on his own force, cuts himself off from a powerful family, does not leave a retreat, is not a hero, and is not worth serving. I am willing to join him. , There are only the sloppy poor, and there will be no scholars from aristocratic families. How can they compete for dominance in the world? It is a chance to overthrow the court. "

Wei Zhong pursed his lips and shook his head silently.

Although neither of them are optimistic about Chen Feng's uprising, the two have different starting points. Compared with their own, the junior and senior teachers value this person's hegemony capital more.

Wei Zhong is not surprised by this. He studied art together since he was a child.

At this time, Jiang Di spoke again, changed the subject, and asked, "The troubled times are approaching, and the master has asked us to make achievements. Have you made a plan? Will you help the court to bring peace to the troubled times, or will you support a hero to compete in the world?"

Wei Zhong calmed down and sighed: "I haven't made up my mind yet. I plan to go to the capital first, to see the atmosphere of the imperial court, and to see if this summer can be saved."

Jiang Di nodded and said slowly: "In that case, you and I will part here."

Wei Zhong was startled: "Junior brother?"

Jiang Di's eyes flickered: "In a chaotic world, a group of heroes rises together, and a hero will be born. I plan to travel around, and I will move from time to time. I will choose a hero to assist, and I will not be with you."

Wei Zhong was silent, but he was not surprised.

Although the two are from the same school, their pursuits are not the same. The younger brother has always been arrogant. Rather than joining forces with him, he prefers to go alone and build his own career.

"Alas, it seems that you and I need to say goodbye eventually, just today."

Wei Zhong sighed, knowing that his younger brother had made up his mind, and he did not hold back.

"Okay, goodbye then... Maybe one day, you and I will have a chance to compete."

After Jiang Di said this, he immediately got up and left, leaving the tea shop.

After walking a few steps, he paused for a moment, then glanced at Wei Zhong at last across the fence, and said casually:

"And... don't die so easily."

After saying that, Jiang Di no longer had any nostalgia, and strode westward.

Wei Zhong shook his head, checked out, left the tea shop, and walked in the other direction.

On the official road where the setting sun is gradually setting, the two are walking farther and farther, going their separate ways.

…

As the military situation of Huyang's defeat was transmitted back to the capital, the government and the opposition were shaken.

Another day to go to court.

The capital, the Purple Palace.

"The 400,000-strong army to seek thieves, but in the end they were defeated and returned. The commander-in-chief of the three armies is so incompetent that I wasted all my hard work!"

The emperor was furious, and the ministers dared not speak.

When the emperor was tired of scolding, Qin Song came out and said carefully:

"What the Holy Master said is very true. Although the two generals Ma Zhen and Huang Ping sacrificed their lives for the country, they were not to blame for their failure to command the troops. Privy secret advice, I don't know what Pang secretive has to say?"

The emperor's eyes immediately turned to Pang Hong, which was quite unkind.

Pang Hong swallowed and hurriedly fell to the ground to plead guilty: "I don't know who I am, I am guilty!"

The emperor said coldly: "Pang Shumi helped to send troops. I had high hopes, but you taught me to be disappointed."

"The minister is guilty!"

Pang Hong was sweating profusely, and he had already cursed Ma Zhen with blood.

He had told Ma Zhen to delay the fight for a long time, but in the end he didn't even endure it for half a year.

This is good, not only did I not make much money, but I would also be dragged down.

At this time, the left minister Lu Wenzong took a few steps forward, as if to defend Pang Hong, and whispered: "Your Majesty, although Ma Zhen's army was defeated, he also preserved most of his army, and he took the strategy of flooding the bandits. It just fell short in the end."

It's good not to mention this. Now, when I mention it, the ministers are excited, and they all accuse and scold Ma Zhen.

On the surface, all the ministers objected to such poisonous schemes as flooding Huyang. After all, they had to consider their own reputation.

There are some things that can be done but cannot be said. If they publicly agree, I am afraid they will be criticized, and it will be difficult to keep their name in the world... Especially this strategy has failed.

If it fails, it must be wrong.

Moreover, someone should take the blame for the defeat, and no one wants to excuse Ma Zhen.

However, no matter whether the ministers secretly support the flooding strategy, they all feel that Lingfengzi's disaster relief behavior is very inappropriate.

Soon there was a look of resentment on Qingliu's face, and he opened his mouth to impeach:

"Sacred Master Qi, although Ma Zhen's actions were wrong, what Yufeng did was even more inappropriate. As a celestial master in the dynasty, he actually helped the rebels in disaster relief. This matter has spread among the people and caused serious injuries. The court's face, must not continue to condone the real Yufeng, and hope that the sage will find out!"

The ministers agreed one after another, and their attitudes were similar.

A high-ranking person representing the imperial court actually went to help the rebels, what kind of decency, not even for disaster relief!

This effect is so bad that people can't think about it!

According to the meaning of the ministers, flooding the poison with water is wrong, but this is the predicament of the anti-thief.

This obviously exposed their true thoughts... They shouted against it, but if the flooding plan really hit the rebels, most of them would be happy to see it succeed, and they were secretly happy while harshly criticizing. As for the disasters affecting the people of Huyang, no one really took it seriously.

The emperor listened to the impeachment of the ministers, his eyes were uncertain, and finally said slowly:

"There must be a reason for Yufeng's actions. When he comes back, let him make it clear. Now all the Aiqings don't need to mention it."

He was unavoidably suspicious of Master Yufeng, but he held it back.

There is a lesson from the past that Ma Zhen was taken away from the army, and the importance of Lingfengzi has risen again in the emperor's mind.

…

On the other side, Huyang, Hongzhou prefecture.

Zhou Jing stood on the tower, overlooking the mountain village soldiers and horses penetrating the city.

Now that Longwangzhai officially occupies the state and seizes the city, all the prefectures in Huyang are basically taken over by the cottages and become the power of the ruling party.

He looked at it for a while, then withdrew his gaze, opened the panel and glanced at the message:

[Trigger achievement [One Party Overlord]]

[Get 10,000 Astral Points, 20 Information State Particles, [Aptitude Enhancement - Charm (Medium)] x1, [Aptitude Enhancement - Commander (Small)] x1]

[Career goal [The prince and general Xiangning has a kind] has been completed]

[Get 80 Information State Particles]

[Current Apostle Constant Progress: 947/240]

"Sure enough, once I separate Huyang, I will complete this life goal, and now there is only one left... In addition, I have repulsed the officers and soldiers, severely damaged the prestige of the court, and created a general trend in the world. In the future, there will be continuous collection and placement income. , it is very easy to progress to more than 1000."

Zhou Jing nodded secretly.

The first step of the strategy has been achieved, let Longwangzhai be a pirate here ~IndoMTL.com~ to develop and operate the base.

The next step is to lead troops to attack the surrounding areas in person, use your unstoppable personal force, see the city break the city, and act as a rogue who travels abroad for a long time, echoing the base area.

Overthrowing the imperial court is not a direct goal, killing a powerful family is the last career goal. If you don't kill enough families, changing the dynasty will not meet the career requirements.

However, the nobles of noble families are scattered all over the place, and it is time-consuming and laborious to remove them one by one.

When you kill more powerful people in the south, families from all over the world will naturally be frightened and forced to migrate to a safe area, such as going north to the capital to take refuge.

After all... the capital has Lingfengzi in charge, and in the eyes of the family, at least it won't fall.

It's time to harvest!

"As for the next crusade..."

Zhou Jing touched his chin, his eyes flickering.

Let's just choose our neighbor Jiang Chun. After all, Ning Tianfu is too familiar with himself.

This Daxia Fujing has a lot of dignitaries in it, from hundreds of years of family, from the founding of the country, from the royal family.

Zhou Jing squinted his eyes: "Just so, last time the Ning Tianfu aristocratic family asked a bunch of injustices to kill me, so I should ask these people behind the scenes to figure it out, lest they really think the matter is over. "
