Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

70. Panic.

The way back in this life becomes more and more unclear. Countless green mountains and rivers cover the sky.

In the south, the old man Tianfang walked weakly up the stairs with slow steps. The wealthy squires at the tea table immediately gave up their seats and made tea:"Old Master, please take a seat quickly.""

"Old Master, why haven't you come to drink tea this time? Another person asked one after another.

Mrs. Fang sighed and did not speak immediately. Member Li next to him asked impatiently:"Mr., are you feeling ill?""

"There is nothing like it in the body, but there is something in the family. Why!"Mr. Fang sighed again.

"Grandpa, what happened? Sighing so much"

"Things at home are small things, but national affairs are big things."Mr. Fang is always like this. No matter what time, he has to whet people's appetite first.

"What's going on with the court?"Everyone is looking forward to Mr. Fang's high opinion, and they all hold their breath.

"Yi Fan has become Yizhou, you should have heard about it."Mrs. Fang

"Just as the old man expected, I heard that the Minister of War completely captured Yi Fan in three days.The means are really amazing"

"It's amazing. After all, the Minister of War is too young and has no hair on his mouth. Have you ever thought about what will happen next?"Mrs. Fang

"how?"

"It is against humanity to exterminate the barbarian vassals. The Blue Lake Treaty stipulates that countries cannot send troops to foreign countries without the judgment of the Xilulu Kingdom."Mrs. Fang

"Yi Fan is a vassal territory of Dongfu Kingdom, and this should be an internal matter of Dongfu Kingdom." said one of them

"In the past 60 years, the Yi vassal king has never come to visit King Dongfu. Is there such a vassal king? The Xilu Kingdom has long thought that Yi Fan is one country, just like the Blue Lake Kingdoms."Mrs. Fang

"So it means that Dongfu State is using troops abroad?"

"In the Blue Lake Treaty, the countries have no right to use military force externally. Will the Xilulu Army send troops to defend the treaty?"Li Yuanwai

"In the past 60 years, Blue Lake has been stable due to the guarantee of the Blue Lake Treaty. Now that the Minister of War has boldly violated the treaty, there is no reason to ignore it. If Blue Lake is ignored, there will be chaos."Mrs. Fang

"If it really comes, how can the Dongfu Army resist it?"Li Yuanwai

"I heard that the transcendent general in their right vassal army used his troops like a god and was invincible."

"Now that the disaster has not ended and war has broken out again, how can we fight it?"

"Indeed, do you think I can stop sighing? When a woman enters the court, there are chaos in the court, her fortune is unknown, and the Blue Lake is in turmoil... This song is the result of God's will, and God's will cannot be violated. However, the court insists on going its own way, allowing the Minister of War to act recklessly. God's will has been violated again and again, and now there is turmoil in the Blue Lake."Mrs. Fang

"Ever since Chenzhou had a female governor, the Minister of Household Affairs was no longer around, the court was in chaos, followed by the turmoil in the south, Chenzhou's disaster and now the Yi-Fan changes, these all confirmed that Dongfu was ominous, and then there was the turmoil at Blue Lake, and the Xilu army was about to The battle between the two great nations on the Blue Lake was all based on this song. The song was truly God's will."Li Yuanwai concluded.

"How can we fight against the Xilu Kingdom? The bright light of the Xilu Kingdom shines on the Blue Lake. Justice is always there. The Xilu Kingdom is justice. Fighting against the Xilu Army is an unjust war."

"In 60 years ago, the Xilu Kingdom helped the Dongfu Kingdom defeat the Luoba Kingdom and the Daying Kingdom, but they did not occupy an inch of our land. Now fighting them would not be repaying kindness with enmity, and would surely lose the support of the people. An unjust war is destined to fail."

"If a war breaks out, lives will be lost. King Dongfu is seeking death. What should we do?"Li Yuanwai

"Grandpa, tell me what should we do?"

"The imperial court wants to destroy itself, why do we let our people suffer innocently?"

"Where should we go from here?"

……

The wealthy squires present were all panic-stricken, complaining, and even cursing. After venting, their eyes focused on Old Mrs. Fang again, and asked Old Mrs. Fang for advice. Old Mrs. Fang sighed again and lightly touched a little with his fingers. Tea, holding up her long nails, slowly wrote one word on the table, one stroke at a time. Everyone was surprised, and everyone seemed to be in disbelief. Mr. Fang continued:"There is news, Xilu Country We are lobbying other countries to impose a Blue Lake ban on Dongfu Country and exclude Dongfu Country from the Blue Lake. Just like Rakshasa Country, if Rakshasa Country didn't still have salt, it would have perished long ago."

"Is this really the case?"

"At that time, Dongfu Country will become an evil country like Rakshasa Country and will be abandoned by Blue Lake. What future will Dongfu Country have?"

"Yes, once the Blue Lake ban is issued, all trade will not be carried out on the Blue Lake. We are a big grain trading country, so trade is blocked."

Mr. Fang said slowly:"Yes, you are all big businessmen, so your wealth will be cut off. Didn't you just ask me what happened at home? The business at home is to deal with the property"

"Selling land, how will you live after selling the land? Mr.

Fang took a sip of tea and said slowly:"Selling land is to make a living. When the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was here, we had more land and few taxes, and we lived a worry-free life. Drinking tea every day was endless fun. Now the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is here." Without him, we wouldn't have a good life."Mr. Fang looked sad.

"Do you really want to sell the land? Is there nothing the Minister of the Ministry of Finance can do?"

"The Minister of the Ministry of Finance is no longer in court now. The matter has come to this and there is no way to reverse it."

"Does the minister also want to buy land?"Li Yuanwai

"It has been sold and is now in Xilu Kingdom. Dongfu Kingdom is already strong. Please think more about the future."Mrs. Fang

"Is it really that serious?"

"It won't be like this, right?"

"Then aren’t we slaves to the subjugation of our country?"

"When do I say I missed it? It’s up to you to decide whether to leave or not. The people of Dongfu died of illness, and those who were not sick died in battle. When corpses litter the fields throughout Dongfu, I am afraid that I will have to compete with the dead."Mrs. Fang

"Where are we going?"

"The east is not bright, but the west is bright. You are all rich and powerful. Who in the country of Xilu does not have a house title deed? Isn’t it prepared for today? The Minister of the Ministry of Finance has gone, so what else do you have to worry about?"Mrs. Fang

"Grandpa, when will you leave?"Li Yuanwai

"My children and grandchildren will leave in two days. I am too old to travel long distances and cannot walk even if I want to. The ancestral graves at home are here, so I can only stay here to take care of them. After finishing speaking, Mr. Fang stood up and left sadly, and finally said:"The thousand-year-old Dongfu Kingdom will be ruined in the hands of this yellow-haired boy, the Minister of War."……"

After all, the fertile land is here, and after all, they have gained millions of wealth here, so escaping is not an easy task.

One night, Li Yuanwai came to Yuan Shushi's residence and asked for his share.

"Half is too much, and you haven't contributed much."Warlock Yuan obviously disagrees.

"I provide all your paper and ink. In this world, I have the final say."

"In the past, the governor of Chenzhou had to give three orders of courtesy. If you are not afraid of me leaving, you will get nothing."Yuan Warlock

"What, threatening me?"

"I don't dare to do it. There is a law for everything, and I act according to the law."Warlock Yuan.

On the way out, the entourage said to Li Yuanwai:

"Master, will he really cast spells to harm our family? Let’s not have any grudge against the warlock."

"Warlock? I think they are just greedy for money, so what are they afraid of?"

Warlock Yuan was worried about Li's retaliation from outside, so he packed up his things overnight. Warlock Yuan is now very different from when he came. He only has a large box of silver. The next day, someone came to buy amulets and found that Warlock Yuan was no longer there. , those who had been buying lucky charms panicked.

Not long after, someone saw Yuan Warlock in the suburbs, and his body had been half eaten by wild dogs. After Yuan Warlock died and heard that the war was coming, the wealthy squire families in the south no longer hesitated..

King Dongfu has not killed the vassal king for a long time. It is like a knife hanging on the heads of those courtiers who secretly have dealings with the vassal king. He does not know when it will be cut off. The songs of praise, the words of his father-in-law in Noon County, Dongdu City, and the words of Mr. Fang According to the prophecy, the death of Warlock Yuan, and the fact that the West Lu Kingdom was going to impose the Blue Lake ban on the Dongfu Kingdom, the gentry in the south accelerated their pace. The gentry and officials in the Eastern Capital were still waiting to watch, and the gentry and officials also panicked. The Dongfu Kingdom was filled with uneasiness. They all want to leave this disaster place before the Blue Lake ban comes. Before one wave subsides, another wave comes again, and the waves of the Blue Lake never stop.
