It’s autumn harvest time again.
Yuzhou.
White Lotus Church Council Hall.
The White Lotus Saint is still sitting on the main throne. What is different from the past is that there are only three or two kittens left in the parliament hall, which was originally quite bustling.
The original White Lotus Sect had a complicated internal structure due to various historical issues.
It is also for this reason that in addition to having to obey the orders of the White Lotus leader, the White Lotus Sect has many internal factions, each of which has its own dissatisfaction.
In short: Whose ancestors have not been rich? You were not even born when my grandfather started the rebellion, so why should I listen to you?
Broken down, it should be divided into two types, one is the old guy who claims to be superior to others and ranks seniority; the other is the rising star who has just grown up within the White Lotus Sect.
As the team grew, these two factions almost separated the White Lotus Sect, not to mention the more detailed interests entangled.
Except for the leader of the White Lotus, if you want to suppress this group of people, it is useless to rely on simple identities. It is normal to be obedient.
The White Lotus Sect is clearly a rebel leader who is ready to rebel at any time, but internally they want to directly freeze until the end of the dynasty. How strange!
But now there's good news and bad news.
Relying on the land of Yuzhou, the White Lotus Sect has been in a stalemate with the temple for five or six years. It is impossible to say that the White Lotus Sect has no losses.
The good news is: now the factional strife within the White Lotus Sect has been reduced a lot, and there is no longer the feeling of carrying a mountain on its back. At least even if the leader of the White Lotus Sect is not present, the White Lotus Saint is finally no longer a decoration.
It is impossible to say that there is a ban, but at least they will give three points of thin noodles, which is really not easy.
The bad news is: the White Lotus Sect can no longer stand it.
Therefore, today's meeting is quite important to the White Lotus Sect, as it directly determines where to run in the future.
Born in the White Lotus Sect, the main thing is to keep the green hills without fear of running out of firewood!
At this time, many people below felt that it was time to divide the family property and break it into pieces and withdraw as soon as possible.
On the main seat, Saint White Lotus cleared her throat, stared at the people below, and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone has arrived, let's talk about the current situation."
There are not many people below, only three.
One of them is Wang Mang.
The White Lotus Sect was originally divided into eight halls, but after five years of fighting with the imperial court, only three remained.
Among them, there is only one old guy!
A lot of new blood has indeed been injected, but the problem is that the family fortune has also been wiped out.
The first person to speak was a rough man in black armor with blood stains that had not yet dried on it. His bearded face was full of anger and unwillingness, and he looked particularly irritable.
But what he said was full of rational beauty: "What else is there to say? After this autumn harvest, everyone should go according to their own abilities!"
Bearded's proposal is in line with the consistent tone of the White Lotus Sect. If things don't work out, withdraw first. Opportunities are always reserved for organizations that have been passed down for a long time!
If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time. If the moon doesn't work, you can wait until the sun and stars are big. Everything will be fine. Anyway, some people have to be left behind.
By opening his mouth like this, experienced people can tell that the bearded man is from the Old White Lotus Sect.
The land of Yuzhou is different from the land of Yangzhou. Yangzhou is already richer. In addition, there are people who have fled from Yuzhou as a new force. They also share the hatred of the four-nation coalition. Although the situation is difficult, it can barely be maintained. It's still ok.
But the main battlefield in Yuzhou, strictly speaking, is actually a fight between Dayue and Dayue's people - even if there are foreign enemies.
Those people who joined the White Lotus Sect originally wanted to live a better life and no longer be overwhelmed by frequent labor and taxes. However, before they could enjoy the good life, they first fought with Otsuki's army with real swords and guns. .
The overall atmosphere cannot be said to be gloomy, it can only be said to be lifeless, and now there is no possibility of a successful rebellion.
"Master Luo Zhen, don't say such depressing words."
The White Lotus Saint seems a little helpless. These old guys always want to run away immediately. It is difficult for her to be a Saint!
"Ah."
The bearded Luo Zhen sneered, "Frustrating words? It's a blessing that we didn't express condolences directly! Of the eight previous hall masters, now I'm the only one left! Is the saint planning to ask me, an old guy, to join her? Does sacrificing one's life for the religion count as one's service?"
"Hall Master Luo's words are wrong. The current crisis in the church is a critical moment for us to unite our efforts. The Saint does not want you to die in battle. Although the situation is critical, it will not be easy for Da Yue. As long as we If you keep persisting, I think Otsuki won’t be able to hold on anymore!”
A young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, who looked like a jade-faced scholar, approached and spoke to comfort him.
However, Luo Zhen didn't appreciate it at all. He glanced over with cold eyes, his eyes turned around on him, the White Lotus Saint and Wang Mang, and said in a strange tone: "Hey, Hall Master Xia also wants to teach me a lesson? You It’s better to think about how to break up the saint and that boy before we talk about big things, otherwise you won’t get anything by then and it will only become a laughing stock.”
Xia Zhangsiyu's face darkened, and her face suddenly darkened, and she said in a cold voice: "What do you mean, Hall Master Luo? I have good intentions and consider the safety of the church, how can I have so many dirty thoughts!"
"If you say yes, then it is."
Luo Zhen was too lazy to talk to him any more, so he nodded casually and answered the question in a nonchalant manner.
A brat who likes to argue and be jealous is worthy of having a verbal confrontation with him? act recklessly!
As expected, Xia Zhangsi's face turned red immediately, "What's your attitude? Don't think that you can act like the leader of the church and you are the second child because you have been in the church for a long time. You should..."
Wang Mang sat bored on the chair, completely ignoring the quarrels in the outside world. He stared blankly at an ant on the ground working hard to move food that was several times larger than himself, completely ignoring everything in the outside world. Take it to heart.
Boring, so damn boring.
This bullshit White Lotus Sect has a very famous reputation. Before I came here, I really thought it was a heroic figure similar to Huang Chao who couldn't stand the world.
Only after I came here did I realize that it was not unreasonable for this piece of shit to accomplish almost nothing except for its long heritage.
The rebel business is indeed very skilled, and he is a strong contender for the veteran rebel championship. The problem is that he can run away very quickly!
From top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, through the help of the White Lotus Saint, he has learned everything about the White Lotus Sect in the past few years.
These old guys from the White Lotus Sect were all arrested and interrogated. I am afraid that none of them really wanted to clarify Yuyu. What they thought about most was not how to reshape the country, but how to reshape the country if the leader could ascend the throne. We deserve all the credit, blah blah blah
Everyone said that the White Lotus Sect could rebel, but Wang Mang never thought that the White Lotus Sect could only rebel!
After the rebellion, everything has nothing to do with you. After all, the terrible thought "I've rebelled, what do you still want?" has been circulating within the White Lotus Sect.
To be precise, it should be: I rebelled just to live a better life, but now you insist on letting us go up and fight to the death. What do you mean?
It doesn’t matter if you had to risk your life before you rebelled. If you have already rebelled and you still have to risk your life, then isn’t it all in vain? !
There are definitely not just one or two people in the White Lotus Sect who have this idea. The entire atmosphere in the Sect is all about this virtue!
No matter how ambitious you are, you won't be able to implement them here.
The leader of the White Lotus Sect is not a good person. I am afraid that he only regards the White Lotus Sect as a tool, and even enjoys the chaos and disorder within the White Lotus Sect!
Now the White Lotus Sect has almost been forced to a critical moment by the imperial troops, but the leader of the White Lotus Sect has disappeared! ! !
No, to be precise, he should have left a letter for Saint White Lotus and disappeared with the elite members of the sect!
Originally, the White Lotus Sect could barely sustain itself in Yuzhou for a year or two. After a group of experts were taken away by the leader of the White Lotus Sect, it could be said that the White Lotus Sect was retreating steadily and was about to fall apart.
Does this seem like something a rebel leader could do? !
However, even if Wang Mang didn't speak, the flames of war were still burning on him.
"Why is Hall Master Wang silent? I remember that Hall Master Wang has the largest number of people in Hongyang Hall. I wonder what Hall Master Wang is planning?"
Seeing that Luo Zhen stopped talking, Xia Zhangsi immediately changed direction and asked Wang Mang with a gun and a stick.
"Why are there the most people in Hongyang Hall? I don't think Hall Master Xia and Hall Master Luo don't understand what's going on, right? If you want to ask me for advice, it is to wait for the leader to come back." Wang Mang said lightly.
"What's your attitude?!"
Xia Zhangsi stood up suddenly and was extremely dissatisfied with Wang Mang's appearance that it had nothing to do with him.
"Pastor Xia is worried about things in the church, but I don't know what happened to the pair of sisters I just accepted yesterday? I wonder if it has soothed Pavilion Master Xia's restless heart?"
Wang Mang still spoke in a nonchalant manner, his face full of sarcasm.
But when it comes to appearance, Xia Zhangsi is really good at fighting. As for his family, he comes from a noble family. He has been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, and he has the air of a young master who is rich and powerful.
But this kind of magnanimity is limited to the young master. It's okay to deceive a little girl who doesn't understand the world. If you really want this kind of person to make any decision, no one can do it except with words.
Recently, he has been so bold that he has set his sights on Saint White Lotus, so that Wang Mang, who has always been paid special attention to by Saint White Lotus, has become a thorn in his side. He will find trouble no matter what. Naturally, he refused to let it go.
However, he had the intention to fight with Wang Mang. Wang Mang only regarded him as a clown. When he was not jumping around, he pretended not to see him.
This attitude undoubtedly made Xia Zhangsi even more annoyed.
He is a well-respected young master in a century-old family. Following this group of idiots in rebellion is considered to have lowered his status, so he can still tolerate it.
But Wang Mang is just the son of a prison chief—ha, the son of a prison chief!
He is still the prison chief in the most unpopular prison. How can He De compare with him?
As a result, in terms of identity and status, he was now slightly lower than Wang Mang. Not to mention, even the White Lotus Saint was biased towards Wang Mang!
This is really unreasonable!
In terms of appearance, life experience, family property, and qualifications, how could I be worse than Wang Mang?
It is no exaggeration to say that when he casually walked around the streets, there were probably no fewer than ten women who were willing to throw himself into his arms!
Everything else is tolerable, but the White Lotus Saint is more inclined to Wang Mang, which is really unbearable.
"Palace Master Wang's own conditions are not good, but he pays attention to me! Do you want me to send someone to send some beauties to your house, so that Hall Master Wang can have the opportunity to enjoy the blessing of others?" Xia Zhangsi said coldly. said.
"enough!"
The White Lotus Saint on the main seat had a cold expression on her face, "The leader is not here. This is a major event that determines the direction of the sect. Please stop messing around on irrelevant matters."
Sen Leng's voice was deafening with the blessing of true energy. When the three people sitting down looked at each other, they all moved away with cold snorts.
The so-called separation of heart and morality is nothing more than this.
"I hope you can calmly think about the current situation. I don't want endless quarrels next time. The leader has left the affairs of the church to us, not for us to argue endlessly!"
Seeing that the atmosphere of discussion was completely gone, Saint White Lotus waved her hand and said coldly: "Everyone, please go back!"
A parliament broke up unhappy.
Wang Mang returned to his room.
Not long after, the door to the room was pushed open again, and Saint White Lotus closed the door. The cold look on her face quickly faded, and the worry that she had deliberately buried finally emerged. She said, "Wang Lang, the leader doesn't know where to go now." Where are you, what do you think we should do now?"
Wang Mang sat at the tea table, his face as heavy as water, but he said with almost no hesitation: "It's time. Since the leader of the White Lotus is leaving at this time, let's grab the White Lotus inheritance and leave! Then we will go to Brother Gu! The same is true Martial arts master, I don’t believe that Master Bailian can be stronger than Mozi and Brother Gu!”
To rob a martial arts master's things without the protection of another martial arts master is to court death.
Wang Mang happened to know two martial arts masters.
One of them taught him martial arts, and the other watched him grow up.
Although he had no choice but to join the White Lotus Sect in the first place, how could a man not have the desire to make some achievements?
If the White Lotus Sect can really succeed, Wang Mang wouldn't mind shining in it.
However, with the virtues of the White Lotus Sect, it is no wonder that he directly destroyed it.
"But, Hongyangtang, you have worked hard for so long."
The White Lotus Saint is quite tangled. Unlike other halls, which are in harmony with each other but seem to be separated from each other, Hongyang Hall is the only one who can be said to be like an arm in command.
This contains all of Wang Mang's hard work and is almost formed according to the requirements of the weakened version of "Mo Zhe". Once the two of them abandon this place, they will become completely alone, with no one to rely on, and everyone must obey other people's arrangements.
"It's only five years, what are you afraid of? I'll leave Qingshan here."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Mang immediately spat.
Damn it, after staying in the White Lotus Sect for a long time, this sentence has almost been imprinted in my bones, and I want to say it accidentally.
"Without further ado, let's get the White Lotus inheritance tonight and let them play with Otsuki's army here! After getting the inheritance, we can go directly to Brother Gu."
Wang Mang is a man who dares to take action. Once he has made up his mind, he will never hesitate again.
Although the family fortune you have worked hard for is good, it must be put to use!
He has already accepted the fact that the White Lotus Sect is rubbish, and he only hopes that the White Lotus inheritance will not be like this. To be able to pass on something that has been immortal for several dynasties, there should be something real, right?
"Okay, then just listen to Wang Lang."
The White Lotus Saint also nodded when she saw this.
As early as more than a year ago, the two of them had figured out the location of the White Lotus inheritance, but the leader of the White Lotus was still there and they did not dare to take action.
Now that the leader of White Lotus has disappeared with his people, the time has come, so there is no need to continue to hesitate and take chances.
"Let's do it tonight!"
As of now, all the foreshadowings have been recalled immediately, and there is no room for the author to be careless.
I happen to be quite busy these days and updates are slow. I'm really sorry. This is the author's problem. I will definitely seize the time and work hard to update in the past few days!
