The young Blazing Angel pilot stood on the street of a potential enemy country, looking at the rich city and the rich people. She secretly had the ambition of conquering.
Sooner or later, she would drive the invincible Blazing Angel Armor, as the victor and conqueror, and bring the flame torrent of the Lihuo Kingdom into the city through the most magnificent gate, and let the flame phoenix flag of the Theocracy fill the ancient city.
This city was just the beginning. She had to conquer more land and plunder more wealth. The strong lived, and the weak died. Humans were animals, and humans were beasts. The law of the jungle had been passed through history, and only the strong could survive. It was even more so between countries!
Just as her heart was surging and her blood was boiling, she heard such words.
"Amitayus!
Benefactress, can you remove your veil and let this poor Daoist take a good look! "
She was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that the words were directed at her. She turned around and saw an old man with a white beard, who was glaring at her face with an almost impolite look.
The old man was wearing a plain Taoist robe and was holding a horsetail whisk. His white beard was fluttering in the wind, and his face was kind. He looked like an immortal. But for some reason, when Creel saw his face, a very subtle emotion suddenly rose in her heart. She wanted to punch the old man in the face and send him flying.
Damn it … Heathen.
Courrier did not have a good impression of this Taoist because of their different beliefs and the xenophobic nature of the Church of Flame. When she thought of his extremely rude words, she was so angry that she almost laughed. Had the clergy of the Empire fallen to this extent?
How dare he hit on and harass a woman on the street?
If someone dared to talk to her like that in the Lihuo Kingdom, that person would be hung up in the local court's dungeon within ten minutes and would never be able to leave. However, she couldn't do that now. This was the Hou Tu Empire. She couldn't make a big deal out of it, or else she would be in danger of exposing herself.
She looked at him coldly and decided to teach him a lesson. Even if this was the Houtu Empire, the dignity of the Li Fire Guards could not be insulted. But before she could do anything, a righteous and angry voice came from behind her. "You coward, how dare you molest a woman on the street!"
Courrier's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw an imperial man dressed like a scholar walking over angrily. He grabbed the Daoist in front of him and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a pervert!
You're an old cow, yet you want to chew on young grass. You're so shameless! "
The Daoist priest blew his beard and glared at him. He slapped the other party's hand away and said angrily, "Pervert your head!
I'm not bragging, but I've lived for so long and I'm still a virgin. How can you accuse me? "
The man pointed at Courrier and said angrily, "Then what's going on?
I heard it just now. She was walking on the street and you went up to her and asked her to take off her veil. What's the difference between you and the rich second generations in the imperial court? You still say this isn't molesting a woman? "
He said angrily, "Okay, you said you wanted to enlighten me and insisted on dragging me out on the street to see you enlighten the world. I thought a coward like you could do a few things. I didn't expect you to do this kind of shady business!"
The coward's nose was naturally Bai Xue. At this moment, he was furious. "When you enter the sect, I'll teach you how to respect your teacher!
Raise your donkey ears and listen carefully. I want to see her face. How is this molesting a woman?
Although this woman used a veil to cover her face, her eyes were still exposed. I just saw something wrong with her eyes. But after all, her face was covered and I couldn't see everything. What's the problem with having her take off her veil and let me take a closer look? "
The scholar was Wan Yuanzhong, who had been spared by Sun Lang and escaped with his life.
That night, he had already made up his mind to die and had publicly broken off relations with Qin Hui. Later, the imperial envoy had indeed calculated everything but was one step behind. As a result, he was defeated and died. All of his plans had been for naught.
He had broken off relations with Qin Hui and had long since disregarded life and death. Even if Qin Hui was defeated and Sun Lang won, to him, there was nothing to be afraid of … It was nothing more than death.
He had asked Sun Lang to allow him to collect Qin Hui's body out of friendship. He had been prepared to be rejected and humiliated. He hadn't expected Sun Lang to be so benevolent and easily agree to his request. Even if he had taken care of Qin Hui's funeral and gone to meet his death as agreed, he had been casually sent away by Sun Lang.
Other than forbidding him to leave Mingzhou, there were no additional requirements or restrictions. He could move freely in Mingzhou and do whatever he wanted.
This Great Hero Sun, who exactly was he?
He had saved General Hu, killed all of the Black Armored Soldiers who had entered the city, and even killed the imperial envoy. These actions were no different from treason. Anyone who had been involved in this kind of thing would certainly kill everyone who knew about it to silence them. Then, they would wander the world and escape as far as they could. However, after doing such a big thing, he still swaggered around in Mingzhou. It was as if he was not at all worried about the storm of anger and attacks from the court and imperial power. Where did his confidence come from?
Wan Yuanzhong was not stupid … especially after he discovered that the old general of Tianyuan, Hu Shouxin, who had just been surrounded and killed by Tensei Province, was strolling around Marquis Jingan's manor as if nothing had happened. The Mingzhou yamen didn't even dare to let out half a fart. He sensed some clues.
Brother Qin … you've probably been sucked into a terrifying situation that is enough to shake all levels of society …
It was precisely because of this that he made the decision to directly cremate Qin Hui and bury her in Mingzhou. As for the thought of carrying Brother Qin back to his hometown, it immediately vanished into thin air. He knew that Qin Hui would probably never be able to be properly buried in his hometown …
After finishing this matter, he decided to temporarily build a coffin and watch over Qin Hui's coffin. He would first settle down peacefully until that Great Hero Sun thought of how to deal with him or the imperial army came to quell the rebellion. Then, he would be charged with the crime of neglecting his duties and have him die silently …
However, the idea was very beautiful, but reality made him speechless. He had just buried Brother Qin when that brain-damaged cow-nosed Daoist priest came knocking on his door.
In the beginning, he had thought that the other party had come to mock him and Qin Hui. Unexpectedly …
This Daoist priest really did come to mock them.
He really deserved a beating. This Daoist priest did not have the compassion of a monk at all. As the saying goes, when a Daoist dies, the light goes out and he is buried in peace. This guy did not know how to respect the dead at all. In front of Brother Qin's tombstone and himself, he first pretended to express his condolences and then began to talk non-stop.
To sum it up, it was something like this: "I've long said that this fellow will meet unexpected people and will die with his body smashed to pieces. You didn't believe me and even scolded me. Now, are you stupid? Are you stupid? Did he meet someone he didn't expect? Is he going to die with his body smashed to pieces?
I've already said that I'm a professional Daoist priest. How could I speak without thinking? "
And so on.
Then, it was shameless and vile showing off.
For example, like this: "How about it? Let me ask you, are you convinced?
This old Daoist priest's eyes are like torches and my words are accurate. One is one, two is two. This Benefactor Qin did not believe in evil, so he died. Are you scared?
Are you envious of my ability? Do you think I'm very powerful? "
He was completely showing off and showing off.
I don't know what he's here for. It seems like he's here purely to show off and show off, talk big, and then brag. Besides that, when he's showing off and bragging, he always pays attention to me, as if he wants to see some kind of reaction from me — envy?
Regret?
Too late to regret?
He wanted to see his regretful face and then get pleasure from it … This scum of Taoism.
Wan Yuanzhong experienced a night of life and death. He broke up with Qin Hui and was prepared to die. He saw the situation reversed and Qin Hui was defeated. He experienced so many exciting things in one night. His state of mind was up and down several times. He had already seen through the world of mortals. When he saw Daoist Priest Bai Xue showing off in front of him, he made up his mind. No matter how strong Daoist Priest Bai Xue was, he did not know how to restrain himself. The more he spoke, the more outrageous he became.
Then, he could not bear it anymore and raised his fist.
Although Daoist Priest Bai Xue looked old, he was really resistant to beatings and was very good at dodging. He gave people the feeling that he was often beaten.
Therefore, the peaceful life of guarding the coffin became lively. The quiet sitting became a fierce fight. When they were tired, they quarreled. When they were tired, they continued to fight. Wan Yuanzhong did not know what was wrong with Daoist Priest Bai Xue. He just did not want to leave. Wan Yuanzhong gradually became suspicious. If Daoist Priest Bai Xue was just here to show off and show off, he did not have to continue to show off.
What was he trying to do? Daoist Priest Bai Xue was suspicious. He asked Daoist Priest Bai Xue for a while. Daoist Priest Bai Xue finally told him that Daoist Priest Bai Xue saw that Daoist Priest Bai Xue had the root of wisdom and wanted to teach him something.
The reason why Daoist Priest Bai Xue did not tell him at the beginning was that since ancient times, only disciples asked their masters to teach them.
Otherwise, how could he show his face?
Ahahahaha, he wanted to take him as a disciple. Why didn't he say so earlier?
— Bah.
Wan Yuanzhong was very moved. Then, he rejected Daoist Priest Bai Xue. What a joke! In his eyes, Daoist Priest Bai Xue was a Jianghu swindler who was full of nonsense. How dare he drag Wan Yuanzhong down with him?
Unexpectedly, Daoist Priest Bai Xue was really persistent. He pestered Wan Yuanzhong all day and did not stop at night. Wan Yuanzhong was annoyed and reluctantly agreed. Because Daoist Priest Bai Xue compromised and said that the two of them could be friends and master. They just wanted to travel the world together and cultivate in the mortal world. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Scholars all had a complex of seclusion and Wan Yuanzhong was no exception. Therefore, he changed his mind and wanted to observe first. For example, he wanted to see how Daoist Priest Bai Xue cultivated in the mortal world.
Then, early in the morning, he followed behind and saw Daoist Priest Bai Xue flirting with a woman.
— Cultivate your mother's Tao. Happiness Zen is Buddhism. F * ck.
He felt that he was deceived and betrayed. Daoist Priest Bai Xue was indeed an indecent Daoist Priest. Seeing that the woman was stopped by the lecherous Daoist Priest Bai Xue, he naturally did not shirk his responsibility and stepped forward to help.
As for Daoist Priest Bai Xue's words, "Her face is not good, let her take off the veil and take a closer look", in his eyes, it was undoubtedly a quibble and an excuse. Wan Yuanzhong was so angry that he laughed, "Your face reading technique is really good. You can see flowers and plants just by looking at the eyes. Okay, you first tell me, what's wrong with this girl?"
Daoist Priest Bai Xue did not care about the Western woman. This was a good opportunity to show his skills and intimidate his disciple. He stroked his beard and proudly said, "This woman has the look of an eagle and a wolf. Her eyes are confident and restrained. She is a person with ambition and power. She has wrinkles at the corner of her eyes, which is a secret delight. Her plan should have stable and good development, but …"
Wan Yuanzhong expressionlessly said, "But her face is dead. I'm afraid that she will go for wool and come home shorn. Even if she fails at the last step, she will lose everything. Looking at her eyes, there will be a bloody disaster in the near future, right?"
Daoist Priest Bai Xue was surprised at first, and then he was overjoyed, "I didn't expect you to have such talent. I really have a discerning eye. You are really very talented. It's a pity that you don't join my sect!
How did you see it? "
"Haha."
Wan Yuanzhong said with a fake smile, "I didn't see it. I just remembered your previous criticism and conclusion of Brother Qin, so I copied it and repeated it. That's all."
"Ah, is there such a thing?
Doesn't that mean … "Daoist Priest Bai Xue touched his chin and pondered for a moment. Then he turned to Courrier and said," … Benefactor, you are finished. "
Wan Yuanzhong sneered, "You're making it up? Keep making it up?
So that's how it is. I finally understand. I thought you were a Daoist priest and almost believed you. Now I see your way of thinking.
It's not that you have predicted Brother Qin's ending, but that you say a few words to everyone you meet. Brother Qin's matter is just a blind cat running into a dead mouse!
It's just a coincidence! "
Daoist Priest Bai Xue said angrily, "Why are you so stupid?
Why would I lie to you? "
Wan Yuanzhong pointed at Courrier and asked, "You mean this woman is also like Brother Qin. She has a secret mission and has an unspeakable conspiracy. In the end, she will fail at the last step and inexplicably lose everything?
How can there be such a coincidence in the world? "
Daoist Priest Bai Xue straightened his neck and said, "It's not an inexplicable loss, it's a crushing defeat!
She has no power to resist at all and has to sacrifice herself. Yes, she even has the Peach Blossom Face! "
Wan Yuanzhong was so angry that he almost laughed. "I gave you a stick, and you climbed it. Open your eyes wide and look carefully. Look at her hair and her eyes. She's obviously a foreigner. A foreign woman who came to Mingzhou. You're saying that she has eagle eyes and wolf eyes? You're saying that she's ambitious?
Are you kidding me?
Although there are not many foreigners in Mingzhou, there are still quite a few of them. You casually met one and she is a big fish? "
Daoist Priest Bai Xue hesitated and said, "Yes … She is a foreigner … But the problem is …"
It could only be said that in this era and this country, the contempt for foreigners was deeply ingrained in their bones. Just because the other party was a foreigner, she was labeled as a piece of trash who could not make any waves. Both Wan Yuanzhong, who was a civil servant, and Daoist Priest Bai Xue, who was a Daoist priest, thought so.
Courrier had mixed feelings as she looked at the two Imperial people who were quarreling for no reason.
Although she was well-versed in sinology and the Order of the Blaze had a deep understanding of the Empire, there was one field that would not be touched in the course that covered most of the customs and customs of the Later Earth Empire … and that was the religion and occultism of the Empire.
The glorious believer of the Flames would not study the wrong theology of heresy. She also scoffed at the so-called Buddhas and deities. Her view on the so-called fortune-telling and physiognomy was the same as the western astrology — it was all bullsh * t, all heresy, and all blind guesses. She did not believe a single word of it.
At first, the Daoist priest said a few words and was actually right by accident, which gave her a fright. Later on, the other man's mockery made her relax … It seemed that he was just a liar.
Courrier did not know why, but when she saw the two men escalating their inexplicable quarrel and the fact that they were seriously discussing whether the foreign woman they met was a conspirator or not, she suddenly felt a sense of panic when she heard the serious and laughable speculation.
It was her hunter's intuition, her battle instinct. Her mind was warning her that something terrible would happen if she allowed the two Imperial soldiers to continue talking.
Thus, she took two steps back, and her beautiful eyes, which were as clear as the sky, quickly became misty. Her entire person exuded a pitiful and helpless aura. Even if one couldn't see her face, just her pair of eyes that could speak could make any man feel pity for her. Beauty could transcend national boundaries.
Then, she immediately turned around and staggered away like a frightened deer.
The man's voice came from behind her. "Did you see that?
You scared her away!
Look at your lecherous face, I know that you are not a good person. She must be able to understand the Imperial language and heard what you said … Bah, it is not easy for a foreigner to come to the Empire to make a living. Every day, they have to live in fear of getting into trouble. How dare you say that she is a conspirator!? "
Daoist Bai Xue was a bit embarrassed. A young foreign woman was naturally harmless in his mind, but he did see some clues with his physiognomy … He was confused. "Did I see it wrong?
Because the veil covered most of her face? "
He was talking to himself. Suddenly, he felt a cold gaze. He turned around and saw Wan Yuanzhong was staring at him with disdain and indifference.
Then, he began to have a headache. How could he gain the trust of this suspicious and stubborn guy?
Courrier quickly left the street under the surprised eyes of the passersby. After confirming that the two men did not chase after her, she breathed a sigh of relief. The uneasiness in her heart slowly disappeared.
— -Two strange people from the Empire.
She looked around. It was an unfamiliar place. She smiled bitterly and was about to continue asking for directions. But before she took two steps, her body trembled. She heard a familiar voice.
What could be more familiar and nostalgic than suddenly hearing one's mother tongue in a foreign country?
For a moment, even the strong-willed Li Fire Guards with hearts as hard as stone fell into a daze.
It was a man shouting loudly.
She took two steps closer and heard the familiar Slalor language. She also saw a Slalor compatriot sitting on an open carriage, using a metal horn to shout loudly.
"My compatriots, people from the Li Fire Kingdom, descendants of the flame!
We left our hometown, for various reasons, and came to the Hou Tu Empire to start a new life! "
"We look forward to it, we look forward to it, and we dream about it. But how cruel is the reality? The new life is not as beautiful as we imagined. There is no gold everywhere, no carefree paradise, and no delicious food. There is only a low house, a damp bed, and a life of hunger and hunger!"
"Are you still hungry and cold? Are you still hungry? Are you still hungry? Are you still hungry? Are you still hungry? Are you still helpless? Have you already forgotten hope?"
"Are you living under the supercilious eyes of others? Are you living like a clown?
Are you feeling that your dignity has been trampled on? Do you want a better life? "
"Then, please allow me to inform you all!
The opportunity is here! "
"The rich and generous merchant of the Ming Prefecture, His Excellency Zhang Jianyuan!
He owns the largest food processing factory in the Ming Prefecture, has a compassionate heart, and has a lot of jobs!
His business is taking off. He is kind, gentle, and compassionate. He is willing to give the Slalos a chance! "
"If you want a better life, if you still have the courage and determination that you had when you left your motherland in your exhausted body, if you are still unwilling to be ordinary, then say goodbye to your current life and work, go to the Embroidery Hall bravely, and open the gate of wealth that Mr. Zhang Jianyuan has prepared for us!"
"A better living environment, a bright dormitory, three sumptuous meals, generous pay, and supporting entertainment facilities to meet the needs of life so that everyone can work fulfilling and happily!
This is the future that His Excellency Zhang Jianyuan has promised us!
Everything is true. Everything is true. You can use your own eyes to witness it and see it for yourself! "
"Also, His Excellency Zhang Jianyuan intends to export the products of the Embroidery Hall to our homeland. If you still have relatives and friends in your homeland, if you want to return to your homeland with a more dignified identity, then join us!
The Embroidery Hall is actively expanding its international business. Perhaps you only need a chance to turn from a penniless illegal immigrant to a noble business manager! "
"Trust us, and we will give you a future!"
"Come on!
My compatriots!
Let us unite around the great His Excellency Zhang Jianyuan and fight for a bright future for the Slalos!
Live with dignity!
For our children, for a better life! "
Creel was dumbfounded as he watched his compatriot waving his fists in the air and shouting such impassioned words. Under the gazes of the people of the Empire who were watching a monkey show, he swaggered through the streets in a carriage.
"… What is this Embroidery Hall?"
