As soon as Mazda heard Surela's words, he was instantly stunned and his mind was buzzing. After a long while, Mazda came back to his senses. When he saw clearly, he saw Ming soldiers coming out from inside and outside the church, quickly surrounding the church, and surrounding Mazda and everyone else.
Mazda looked anxious and shouted hysterically: "Surela, what do you want to do?"
Surela shrugged and said: "Isn't this clear? Isn't it clear enough? Or maybe there is something wrong with your brain and you don't know the purpose of asking General Guan Yu to take action?"
Mazda's heart sank.
no!
Can't be killed.
Once he is killed, everything he has is gone. All his wildest dreams could not be realized.
Mazda made a desperate move and said: "Surela, what you are doing now will only make you nailed to the pillar of shame of Zoroastrianism. You must know that Zoroastrianism is a religion and cannot be killed. And you can kill After you killed us, it set a precedent for internal chaos and fighting. Today, you can kill us. Then, those who follow will also kill you."
Surela still looked indifferent and said: "Mazda, you are too naive. If the Ming Dynasty is here, then the Zoroastrian heaven will not change, and I will always be in power."
"I had hesitated before."
"Thinking of all of you rebelling against me and denying me as pope, I'm afraid I will fall soon."
"But, I understood it as soon as I followed."
"I have the support of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I serve the Ming Dynasty. As long as I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, then I will always be the Pope of Zoroastrianism. You think that His Majesty the Emperor will not stay in rest for long. In fact, you are all wrong."
Surela spoke even more confidently.
These days, he thinks a lot.
When he just killed the Parthian nobles, he was panicking because what he did was destroying Parthian nobles. He was further plotted by the emperor, and when the emperor pushed him forward step by step, he was also frightened.
However, he also saw that the Ming Emperor's policies did not affect ordinary people. Instead, they transferred the interests of the Parthian nobles to the hands of ordinary Parthian people, making the people's lives better.
Emperor Ming actually didn't get many benefits here.
Such an emperor was destined not to be opposed by the Parthian people, but at most by the Parthian nobles.
Surela knew even more clearly that as long as the Ming Dynasty truly gained a foothold, his status as the Pope of Zoroastrianism would be as stable as Mount Tai. As for the people at the bottom, these people believe in Zoroastrianism, but they also value profits more.
The Ming Dynasty has brought benefits to the people, and the people of Anxi will definitely support the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, what should those who oppose him within Zoroastrianism have to fear? If you have to kill him, kill him. His reputation will be ruined anyway.
Surela's eyes were sharp and she said, "Mazda, do you have anything else to say?"
Mazda did not scare Surela, and felt a little panicked for a moment. He still did not give up, and took the initiative to say: "Suela, what you are doing is destined to fail."
Surella mocked: "Just these few words over and over again, it seems like you want to die."
"I don't want to die!"
Someone shouted from the crowd surrounded by soldiers.
At the same time, the people who had just walked out from Surela also began to regret it, and one by one expressed their support for Surela. At the same time, people on Mazda's side also expressed their opinions in large numbers, saying that they were willing to continue to support Surela.
The whole situation has completely changed.
Surela smoothed his curly beard under his chin, with an unprecedented look of disdain on his face. He said loudly: "You people have weak bones and no loyalty at all."
"If you are left behind, you will be left with hidden dangers."
"If I don't kill you now, how can I be worthy of the people under my command who are still loyal to me? How can I be worthy of their loyalty? How can I distribute the benefits to them without giving up the benefits through your death?"
"So, it's best if you die."
Surela suddenly raised her voice and said loudly: "General Guan, you can start the killing."
"kill!"
Guan Yu ordered coldly.
He settled in Ctesiphon, and in a short period of time, he had a clear understanding of the situation in Ctesiphon and the Parthian religion. Guan Yu had no good impression of religion, let alone any sympathy.
These religious figures are probably similar to the Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao. They are all people who disrupt the imperial court and are extremists.
These people deserve to be killed.
One by one, the Ming soldiers carried knives to kill. The blades fell, blood splattered, and screams continued. Some people tried to escape, but were mercilessly killed. Some people wanted to fight to the death, but they resisted and were killed instantly.
Blood flowed in the church, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Surela saw many people screaming and also noticed that Mazda was killed. His eyes were fiery and his heart was filled with joy. Surela had no mercy for Mazda and others who were killed, and hundreds of Parthian believers who died at one time.
It would be better if these people died.
Immediately afterwards, he continued to promote people to fill the vacant loopholes. In this way, those who are loyal to him will receive benefits and benefits, and everyone will be a vested interest, so that everyone can coexist peacefully.
If the benefits are distributed and you don’t take it, I don’t take it, and no one takes it, how can Surela feel at ease?
Everyone has to accept the benefits.
They all have to be like the light.
It didn't take long, about two-quarters of an hour later, the screams in the church disappeared, and corpses fell into the church one after another. The church was full of blood, full of blood. Guan Yu killed all the hundreds of Zoroastrian believers brought by Mazda.
Surella looked humble and said: "General Guan, everyone has been killed. But there are too many people dead. Please arrange for soldiers to drag out all these corpses and burn them."
Guan Yu said: "No problem!"
He directly arranged for people to transport the corpses and burn them. Anyway, Surela took the lead.
Surela killed all the people, and after Guan Yu arranged for people to remove the bodies, he arranged for people to clean the church. Surela ordered his men to take over the power and interests of Mazda and others, and then he went directly to the palace to meet Lu Xuan.
Not long after Surela left the church and on his way into the palace, he heard people talking that in order to be loyal to the Ming Emperor, he took the initiative to offer advice to the emperor and trapped and killed Mazda and others.
Surela sighed inwardly.
Emperor!
He is still so ruthless, still leaves no room for anything, and has actually spread the news, which completely cuts off his escape route. However, Surela didn't think it was anything, she was already numb and used to it.
What's more, since he was already serving the emperor, it didn't matter if he had no other thoughts.
Surela came to the palace, and after seeing Lu Xuan, he bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Surela, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor."
