The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 216 The Secret Behind the Rumors

Chapter 216 The Secret Behind the Rumors

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed.

In a blink of an eye, Datang has completely entered winter.

The people in Chang'an City have already put on animal skins that have been treasured for many years to resist the cold wind.

As the agricultural civilization of the Tang Dynasty, most of the common people fell into idleness after entering the winter.

After tea and dinner, they gathered together to talk about family affairs and family and country affairs.

"Have you heard!? The Holy One led the soldiers back yesterday!"

"Oh~ I've heard about it a long time ago, but I don't know if this war is a blessing or a curse."

"Isn't it? I heard that it was because the commander of the Northern Liang Army killed too many evils, and natural disasters came to Datang!"

"I've heard that in the first battle, the commander of the Northern Liang Army killed more than 20 Turkic troops, and even the prisoners were not spared."

"I'm afraid I don't know how many people have been killed in this battle."

"Bah, bah, bah! You heartless people, if General Bai hadn't led the Beiliang army to come forward, you would still be sitting here safe and sound!?"

Hearing what this woman said, the men who were talking immediately had nothing to say.

After all, in the Tang Dynasty where the folk customs are tough, women also have a certain right to speak, and at the same time, what this woman said is not unreasonable.

If Datang hadn't resisted back then, I'm afraid the country would have changed hands again.

At that time, when the group of Turkic barbarians enters the country, the territory of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be like a purgatory on earth.

In Chang'an City, people can be heard talking about this matter in the streets and alleys. Of course, some people are appreciative, some are timid, and some are at a loss.

Most people bring tribute to Lanruo Temple to pray to God.

For a while, the incense in Lanruo Temple was extremely prosperous, but there was not even a single monk in sight.

The Shadow Guard searched bit by bit according to the footprints of these monks when they left, and gradually drifted away.And the marks are getting lighter and lighter.

When it seemed that there was no trace left, the Shadow Guard suddenly discovered a cave.

Several shadow guards looked at each other, because their intuition told them that there must be unexpected gains in this cave.

Immediately, the three of them left one to let the wind out at the door, and the remaining two slowly sneaked into the cave.

Immediately after entering the cave, those footprints were rediscovered, and these footprints were disorganized, obviously many people had been there.

According to the preliminary budget, there are at least a thousand people.

Moreover, although the entrance of this cave is only big enough for three people to walk together, there is something special inside.

Although the cave was extremely dark, fortunately, there was still a fire that had not been extinguished by the wall, allowing them to move forward.

"Do you think those monks can do it!?"

"Who knows, anyway, the adults asked us to obey their orders!"

"That's right, as long as we finish these things, the money we get will be enough for us to be rich for a lifetime! Who would have trouble with money!?"

"Hehehe, after I go back, I must marry two wives, one to beat my back and one to pinch my feet!"

"Hahaha! You fool, the money we get, let alone marrying two wives, is more than enough to marry ten!"

"It's almost time, let's go!"

Hearing that these people were about to take action, Shadow Guard suddenly thought that these people should be helping those monks to complete their plots.

Immediately, the Shadow Guard immediately contacted Bai Jingyi through the system and said, "Sign up to the Major General! My subordinates found out that a group of fishermen are going to plot tricks for the monks of Lanruo Temple!"

"I beg your orders, kill these fishermen now to avoid future troubles!"

After Bai Jingyi heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said, "Follow these fishermen and see what they are going to do. Wait for my order when to kill them!"

"Subordinates obey!"

After the Shadow Guard took the order, he put away his fist blade and quietly followed behind the fishermen. The Shadow Guard at the entrance of the cave had already received the news through the system.

So before these fishermen came out, they had already hidden themselves.

At the same time, these long-hidden monks finally appeared.

They appeared in every corner of Chang'an City one after another, as if they had been pre-planned, and each of them was in charge of a certain area.

There are a total of [-] squares in Chang'an City, which are divided into two cities, East and West.

There is a monk in every area, which makes the people of Chang'an City feel that they can be seen everywhere in Chang'an City.

After these monks appeared on the streets of Chang'an City, they stood quietly in the middle of the crowd, clasped their hands together, closed their eyes tightly, sometimes looked up at the sky, and sometimes sighed and chanted.

No matter how the people around asked questions, these monks never answered.

After a while, the surrounding air became colder and colder, and there were even snowflakes floating in the sky.

Stretching out his hand to catch a snowflake, the snowflake instantly melted in his palm. He put on an appearance of an expert outside the world and said: "A natural disaster is coming!"

Hearing that the monk finally spoke, the common people were all listening attentively,
In the end, they heard that a natural disaster was coming, which made the faces of the people pale with fright.

"Master, how can I do this!?"

"Isn't there no way to avoid a natural disaster!?"

"Yes, Master, you have already sent so many tributes, can't you still get God's forgiveness!?"

The monk shook his head and said, "Natural disasters are approaching and cannot be avoided! The murder is too heavy, and how can a few tributes be able to calm it down!"

The people collapsed immediately after hearing this, and they all begged the monk to give them some guidance.

After all, for the ancients who believed in feudal superstition to the bone, the natural disasters that others talked about were enough to kill them.

The monk sat cross-legged on the ground again, muttering in his mouth: "The gods are angry, and the cold winter is coming down! Life for life, the law of heaven recurs!"

When hearing this, the common people began to think about it.

"Could it be that because the commander of the Northern Liang Army committed such a heavy murder, one life is worth one life!?"

"I have already paid tribute, God should not accept my life!"

"What's the best way to do this? What's the best way to do this!? Back then, the Beiliang army killed more than 20 Turkic troops!"

"If one life is worth one life, how many people should I, Tang Dynasty, die!"

Seeing that the surrounding situation was almost the same, the monk immediately said again: "Natural disasters are approaching, and winter is coming! Fish and shrimp can't sleep! Get out of the water!"

When the people heard this, they immediately felt that the monk was talking about signs of natural disasters.

The fish and shrimp couldn't stand the cold winter, so they all jumped out of the water.

"Is this true!?"

"Whether it's true or not, go to the river and have a look to find out!"

"Go! Go! Maybe the natural disaster has already come, but we don't know it!"

Now, most of the people in Chang'an City rushed towards the river outside the city!
However, when Bai Jingyi heard the news, he did smile faintly, thinking: "Just this little trick!? You want to frame me too!?"

As early as when the Shadow Guard found those fishermen, Bai Jingyi had already started planning.

Now it seems that the target of those monks should be the fish and shrimp in the river.Let those fishermen cooperate with them to achieve the content of the rumor.
