Xiao Feng is resurrected again! The news spread quickly throughout the country, and the people were rejoicing. Xiao Party officials were overjoyed and celebrated.
Compared with the first time, this resurrection had some expectations, so many people were not as shocked as the first time.
It may also be because the resurrection was faster than the first time, and many people had not had time to be shocked, such as Xu Jie, who wished he could slap himself twice.
What a missed opportunity! What a missed opportunity! Xu Jie was not Yan Shifan. He had never thought about going to Shiguan to replenish Xiao Feng's sword. He just felt that he had done too little while Xiao Feng was lying on the bed.
I should be more aggressive and try to attract more people to my side. In this way, even if Xiao Feng comes back alive, those people will be embarrassed to switch camps again.
There are rules for taking sides, and you can't change them here and there. Even if you want to change, the other party has to accept it.
Don't think that those who engage in party strife have no moral integrity and are just food in the basket. They also need to have a firm stand!
Therefore, to change your stance, you must have a good time. It is recognized as a good time to change camps without being scorned or suspected. It is almost written in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
The first is being captured: you are captured. At this time, as long as the other party's lord gives you a step down and claims to admire your talent, you can change camps.
Of course, the opponent's lord also needs to perform some additional performances, such as untying the rope himself, toasting three glasses of wine, or even shed some tears. For example, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Yan Yan, Huang Zhong, etc.
The reason why people generally don't despise this kind of behavior is that if they are caught one day, they will need the forgiveness of others if they don't want to die.
The second is to have the moral high ground: For example, if your sister-in-law is arrested, in order to preserve her innocence, you choose to change sides.
Or if your lord is captured and the lord changes sides, of course you can follow suit and generally no one will look down on you.
For example, Guan Yu, his incident is very representative. If his sister-in-law fell into the hands of others, Guan Yu's necessity of surrender might still be questioned, but it fell into the hands of Cao Cao!
If Guan Yu doesn't surrender, in order to keep Liu Bei from cuckolding, I'm afraid he will have to kill his sister-in-law with one knife. After all, Cao's reputation as a thief is spread all over the world!
After Liu Chan surrendered, many officials followed Liu Chan and submitted to the Wei State, and people would not criticize these ministers for being uninterested.
The third is that the protagonist is gone: No matter how harsh a reader is, he will not criticize a person who changes his camp after his protagonist is gone. After all, the person who is loyal to him no longer exists.
For example, Wei Yan was considered loyal before Liu Biao died. After Liu Biao died, he ran away and finally followed Liu Bei.
There are also many people under Yuan Shao who followed Cao Cao after Yuan Shao's death, and not many people would point their noses and curse, after all, the lord is gone.
But one thing to note is that even in these three cases, there are still many people who choose different paths.
After being captured in the Three Kingdoms, there are many generals who died unyieldingly, no less than those who changed camps, such as Zhang Ren and Gao Shun;
The lord surrendered, but those who still refused to surrender were Jiang Wei, Pang De, and Chen Gong.
The most famous one who would rather die than surrender when his lord is gone is the judge.
They didn't do the understandable thing just because it was an understandable opportunity. They chose a different path and it shined brightly.
Once Xiao Feng died, it would have been a good opportunity for Xu Jie to put pressure on and draw more neutral factions, and even fringe factions of the Xiao Party, into his camp.
Unexpectedly, Hu Zongxian acted too quickly and quickly stabilized the Xiao Party camp, causing his attack in the court to be pushed back by Xiao Party officials who had a backbone.
Now that Xiao Feng patted his butt and sat up from the coffin, it was even more difficult for him to achieve his goal. How could he not make Xu Jie sigh?
Gao Gong was also very sad because his loss was greater than that of Xu Jie.
Although Xu Jie recommended him to be the second assistant and failed to get approval in the court, it was actually only a matter of time.
Jiajing's reason was that Xiao Feng's body was not yet cold and he should wait a few more days. Maybe ten days and a half later, when Jiajing's grief has eased a little, he will be the second assistant.
Unexpectedly, if Xiao Feng survived, his position as second assistant would probably be far away. Not to mention Xiao Feng's age, under normal circumstances he would definitely have to walk in front of him.
Let's just say that Xiao Feng's determination to survive is even more disappointing. Isn't it too optimistic for you to live longer than a guy who can never die?
But the combined disappointment of the two people may not be even 10% less than Xiao Qin's. When Xiao Qin heard the news that Xiao Feng was resurrected, she really doubted her life.
Is this still a fucking person? Are there any people that can be so tormented? Wait, does the Xiao family have this genetic probability? Then if I die, should I be able to be resurrected?
Xiao Qin shook his head, getting rid of this unrealistic ideal, and still focused on the difficulties in front of him.
Now that the rain has fallen and Xiao Feng is alive, the probability of his successful rebellion can be said to have dropped again and again. All hope can only be pinned on the Gu God who is growing in the cave!
In the cave, the four people were still linked hand in hand, forming a circle. Technically, it's three people and a skeleton forming a circle. Qinggu's skeleton still stood at its post.
The high priest felt that there was extremely strong power growing and surging inside his body, and his eyes and ears became sharper. He could even hear Xiao Qin's angry curses outside the cave.
When the surging power reached its peak, the high priest let out a long roar involuntarily, and the Gu insects in the cave gathered around her and flew around, emitting a dazzling white light!
Gu Gu, who was holding her right hand, let out a shrill scream, and then her whole body seemed to have been drained of energy and blood, and instantly became old and shriveled.
The Gu worms raised in Bai Gu's body also felt the threat of death and began to fight back crazily. Just like Qing Gu, they turned her into a withered skeleton in an instant.
The blue light and white light on the high priest's face flashed alternately, and the large robe was blown by the strong wind, as if the whole person had grown bigger, looking majestic.
Gradually, he didn't even open his eyes this time, and his expression was extremely calm. The high priest was originally worried about being gradually affected and was uneasy. Seeing this scene, he felt relieved and nodded slightly.
Xiao Qin heard a roar outside the cave, counted it with her fingers, and felt very happy. The sixth level of Gu God! Once again, the Gu God will appear!
The one with the most complicated mood is undoubtedly Hu Zongxian. After he heard that Xiao Feng was resurrected, he was first happy, then regretful, and finally relaxed.
Fortunately, Xiao Feng is alive, the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, he has a backer, his future is bright, and he is more sure of fighting the coming Miao rebellion.
Unfortunately, I only served as the leader of the Xiao Party for less than seven days and was quickly laid off. I was afraid that I would never have the possibility of establishing my own business and becoming the boss.
The easy thing is that what I did, although subjectively I wanted to be the boss, objectively I defended the camp for Xiao Feng.
Without his connection, the officials of the Xiao Party in the court might not be able to work together to withstand Xu Jie's pressure.
Therefore, Xiao Feng is resurrected, and he has no fault, and his weight in Xiao Feng's heart will be heavier, and his feelings will be deeper. All this is due to Xu Wei's deduction.
The small group of Japanese pirates who were chased by Yu Dayou and almost jumped into the sea to commit suicide finally had a chance to breathe. Yu Dayou was overjoyed and gave them a few days off so that they could take a breath. He also went home to visit his wife.
Compared with the ecstatic atmosphere among the people, the atmosphere in the palace and Xiao Mansion was much duller.
Princess Chang'an did not choose another mausoleum, and was buried in Xiao Feng's coffin as she wished in her letter to Jiajing.
All the women in the Xiao Mansion were in front of the coffin, saying goodbye to her and saying many, many words.
Only now did they know that Chang An came to the house on the last day and talked to them endlessly. In fact, he was really reluctant to leave them.
She mentioned everyone in her letter to the Xiao Mansion, even Wangcai.
She said that she had lived in the palace all her life, and her mother died when she was very young. Although her father loved her, she was extremely lonely.
Only when she was in Xiao Mansion, could she temporarily get rid of her identity as a princess and live like a real girl, and a girl with many good friends.
She couldn't let go of her father, the artist, or these friends, but she couldn't let go of her brother Xiao Feng even more. So, she was going to find him.
The great joy of Xiao Feng's resurrection cannot completely dilute everyone's guilt for Chang An, especially Liu Ruyun and Zhang Yunqing.
Liu Ruyun repeated one sentence over and over again: "How can I use the chicken soup from the morning? I should make a bowl of it for her..."
Zhang Yunqing is like an eggplant beaten by frost every day, and the cat is in a daze in the house. Qiaoqiao said that Sister Yunqing was asleep in the middle of the night. She suddenly sat up and slapped herself, then lay down and fell asleep again.
This sad atmosphere was finally ended by Xiao Feng.
On a sunny morning, Xiao Feng got up earlier than everyone else. He was waiting in the kitchen and was startled when Qiao Niang and Lan Niang came in.
Xiao Feng smiled slightly: "I'm hungry. This morning, I will help you make breakfast, and then call everyone to eat. No one is allowed to eat.
We all have to die one day, but while we are alive, we must live happily.
If I am gone, I also hope that you can live well. Chang An will definitely think so too.
Chang An said in the letter that you are the ones she envies most. You have to live well for her, and I have to live well for her. "
In Chang'an's letter to Jiajing, in addition to expressing that I will always love you, dad, and that I still want to be your daughter in the next life, I focused on one thing.
"Father, please leave the princess mansion to me and let Xiao Mansion help take care of it.
I particularly like that three-story building. I haven’t decided on a name yet. Let Xiao Feng help me come up with one.
Ru Hua has been with me for two years, like a sister. If she is willing to stay in the palace, please help me take care of her. If she wants to leave, father just let her go. "
Jiajing summoned Ru Hua, read her the letter, and asked her where she wanted to go. Ru Hua cried and said she wanted to stay in the princess' mansion and help the princess look after her home.
Jiajing was silent for a long time: "It's rare for you to be loyal. I will give you the position of steward of the Princess Mansion. Help Xiao Feng manage the Princess Mansion.
You are still young, as Chang An said, when you want to leave, just tell me. "
From that day on, everyone turned their grief into longing as if they had made an appointment, and no longer avoided mentioning Chang An. Everyone often recalls the days with her, with smiles and sadness.
Xiao Feng returned to the court, and people couldn't see any change in him. He was still in green clothes and white robes, and still had a smile on his face. They just felt that he was working more crisply and working harder.
Shipbuilding, military training, canal repair, agricultural assistance, imperial examinations, everything in Guofang has sped up, but the fastest advancement is the mask made by Xiao Feng to enter the world.
After Xiao Feng was arrested in Hai Rui and Miao Jiang attempted to rebel, he already asked Zhang Tianci to search for pyrethrum all over the world. But this kind of chrysanthemum was too sparsely distributed in the Ming Dynasty at this time.
Zhang Tianci spent a lot of money and manpower, but only found some plants of the same family from the barren mountains and wild ridges. But there was too little time left for Xiao Feng. If these pyrethrums were to be planted on a large scale and turned into medicine, it would definitely be too late.
Therefore, Xiao Feng could only use another simpler and more crude insecticide method to control Miaojiang Gu insects, which was a mixture of sulfur, realgar and lime.
After these three items are ground into fine powder, they can be spread all over the place and pervasive. They are all fatal to snakes, insects, rats, and ants, but unlike pyrethrum, they are also fatal to humans.
Inhaling a small amount of these three things is not fatal, but if you want to deal with a large number of Gu insects, the dosage must be huge. Even if a person does not die at the time, his lungs will be seriously injured after inhaling them.
The only way is to make a gas mask. The core of the gas mask is activated carbon, which was completely possible with the methods at the time. It just requires one more washing and activation process than ordinary charcoal, which is easy for the world view.
Xiao Feng originally wanted to stop quietly and wait for Xiao Qin to take action first. But the heavy rain made him change his mind.
Now half of the foundation for the Miao rebellion has been lost, and the remaining half is the order of the chieftain. Therefore, Xiao Feng changed his mind and decided to raid Gu Shen Mountain and rescue the big chieftain's family.
According to Hai Rui, when he was captured at Gu Shen Mountain, he saw a woman and a young man in charge of the cave. After listening to his general description, Xiao Feng determined that the young man should be Ke Zifan.
As for that woman, Xiao Feng reasonably speculated that she was Ke Zifan's mother-in-law, that is, the wife of the chieftain. Only these two people can let Xiao Qin control the dominating big toast.
After hearing Xiao Feng's plan, Xu Jie expressed his opposition: "Master Xiao clearly said before his death that he could not attack Miao territory first, otherwise he would be a witness for Xiao Qin.
At that time, I proposed a preemptive strike, but Mr. Xiao did not agree. Why did he go back on his word now? Did he realize that he was wrong? "
Xiao Feng smiled: "That's not the case. Attacking Miao Jiang is attacking Miao Jiang, and attacking Xiao Qin is attacking Xiao Qin. How can they be confused?
The imperial army is pressing down on the territory, and the people in Miao territory will be in panic, worried that what Xiao Qin said is true. But if only a few people are sent there, there won’t be this problem. "
Xu Jie was stunned: "How many people are there?"
Xiao Feng said calmly: "Five hundred people."
Before Xu Jie could speak, Jiajing objected first: "Junior brother, five hundred people are too few. Entering the Miao territory is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. This is inappropriate."
Xiao Feng cupped his hands and said: "Senior brother, if the number of people is too large, it will not only cause panic among the people in the Miao border, but will also arouse Xiao Qin's vigilance.
Although the White Lotus Sect has ceased to exist in name only, there are still some remnants hiding in various places. Once the number of people increases, it is easy to be discovered. This is a beheading operation, and soldiers are more valuable than their elites! "
It was the first time for everyone to hear about the beheading operation, but the word was so vivid that everyone understood it instantly!
Jiajing thought for a long time and felt that it would be a good thing if he could really nip this rebellion in the cradle, and nodded slowly.
"Junior brother, as you said, the catastrophe has been resolved. Even if Miao Jiang and Xiao Qin really dare to rebel, Ming Dynasty will not be afraid!
Therefore, do not force this matter. If you have the opportunity, do it. If the opportunity is not good, give up. Everything is done with safety in mind. If there is another accident, there is no chance..."
Jiajing waved his hands sadly and left without waiting for the officials to disperse.
Xiao Feng looked at his senior brother's back with a smile, but his eye circles were red.
He probably wanted to say that if there was another accident, Chang An would not be able to save you.
Xiao Qin did not expect that Xiao Feng would carry out any beheading operation. When he thought about it, it was raining heavily and the disaster had been resolved, so the court should be less anxious.
Therefore, he patiently waited for Gu God's final transformation. This was his only reliance. Of course, he still kept a close eye on Big Toast and made sure that Big Toast was always honest.
The guards of the big chieftain are all her own, and Miss Yun also controls the captain of the guard, Xiong Li, and has complete control over the personal weapons of the big chieftain.
The Paradise Pills were continuously transported out of the Lost Soul Valley, half of which were sold as military pay, and the other half went into the mouths of some little toasts. These drug-addicted little chieftains are the most likely to heed the call and join the rebels.
Xiao Qin stood at the entrance of Gu Shen Mountain, pinched her knuckles with a smile on her face. The day after tomorrow is the day when Gu God appears!
He called several of his men: "Go to the chieftain's mansion and ask the chieftain to hold a chieftains meeting tomorrow and announce an uprising!
You go to the Lost Soul Valley and ask Miss Yun to bring out all the prepared Bliss Pills. During the meeting tomorrow, they will be given to the little chieftains who agree to the uprising.
Let Xiong Li prepare. Any little chieftain who disagrees with the uprising will be killed on the spot! Those little chieftains are surrounded by expert guards, and I will send the priestess to assist him! "
That night, Xiao Qin slept extremely soundly. He dreamed that he and the Miao soldiers and horses were facing off against the Ming army and horses from a distance.
Although there were many soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, he was not afraid, because in front of him stood a tall and beautiful woman, with a beautiful sheen on her skin like a beetle's hard shell.
The soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty rushed up. The woman only stretched out one hand, and countless Gu insects crawled out and flew out from the grass and trees, rushing towards the Ming army overwhelmingly.
The Ming army was instantly in chaos, with people screaming, horses neighing, people turning on their backs, and smoke and dust everywhere. Many people got up from the ground, but before they could move, their faces turned black and they fell to the ground dead.
The Ming army took out swords and shields to resist, but those Gu insects were so small and strange and agile that they couldn't be hit or blocked.
Gu insects continuously sprang out from the grass and trees. The Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses were finally defeated, turned around and ran away. He was high-spirited, holding a long sword and pointing forward.
Thousands of troops and horses rushed forward in the direction pointed by their swords, instantly swamping the Ming army, swamping every city, and swamping the Forbidden Imperial City.
In a daze, she stood on the Jinluan Palace, looking at the throne so close at hand. Xiao Qin was ecstatic and couldn't wait to run forward and sit down.
"Brother Qin, are you okay?"
Xiao Qin was startled and turned around to look. Xiao Feng was standing on the side, fiddling with the incense burner next to him like a eunuch. There was an unknown incense burning in the burner, and the smell was extremely pungent.
"Why are you here? Do you want to surrender? It's too late! It doesn't matter, for the sake of your surname Xiao, I won't kill you and I'll make you a King of Peace.
I can't really let you be a eunuch and burn incense for me. Um? What does this smell like? What kind of incense are you burning? "
Xiao Qin sat up from the bed and her sweet dream disappeared. He smiled to himself, then wrinkled his nose.
"What does this smell like?"
