After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1282 Another Lu Yao
The mainstream of Yao Kingdom changed to worship Miaozhantian, which was a great insult to the Kshatriya gods. In He Lingchuan's view, this was proof that Beijia and Lingxu were further tightening their control over Yao Kingdom.

"How many more Emperor Flows will there be next, and when will they take place?"

God Puin held out his hand to him again: "This question itself is worth a dragon pillar. If you go to any other god for consultation, they will not give you a discount."

This is true. If He Lingchuan wanted to get this situation from the little god on Platinum Island, he had to pay such a high price.

So he readily threw out a Xing Long Pillar and got the forecast of Emperor Liujiang for the next five months.

Why are the Yangshan Islands always able to prepare faster than others? Thanks to this intelligence.

One of the essences of power is information.

The reason why He Lingchuan could possess the same accurate intelligence about Emperor Liujiang as Beijia and Mouguo was because of the Xinglong Pillar in his hand.

Without such goodies, the gods simply ignore mortals.

After receiving the two dragon pillars, Puin became cheerful and easy to talk to: "Any other questions?"

This guy must have at least a few Dragon Pillars in his hand, right?

He Lingchuan asked a completely unrelated question: "Why are you paying attention to that Yang Shoubei?"

"Him?" Pu Yinshen said nonchalantly, "If I don't pay attention to a local official, then how can I pay attention to ordinary people? Wait a minute!"

It was a little surprised: "How do you know I follow him?"

"I have finished asking my questions." He Lingchuan spread his hands and said, "Goodbye."

"You still have the Dragon Pillar in your hand, right?" It's easier to invite a god than to send him away.

"I came to you just to verify the news. You didn't give me any exclusive or important information." He Lingchuan said calmly, "Two dragon pillars in exchange for these broken news. I gave you a concession first, don't push your luck."

If any other mortal dared to speak to him like this, the god Puin would surely teach him a lesson he would never forget.

But the masked man's background was unknown, and he was able to take out the Dragon Punishment Pillar. Pu Yinshen decided not to bother with him: "You didn't ask the right question, or you didn't dare to ask the right question. How can I give you exclusive information?"

This guy is more cunning than Shi Nan, and he has indeed seen some clues. He Lingchuan is not afraid of it: "Where do you have a temple? Maybe I will look for you next time."

God Puin mentioned several place names.

Seeing that He Lingchuan was determined to leave and not continue the transaction, it breathed a sigh of relief.

The solitary smoke from the incense burner tilted, and the atmosphere in the temple suddenly relaxed, as if the thing lurking here had left.

The temple keeper also opened his eyes. His body suddenly swayed twice, and he sat down on a chair beside him with a plop.

He was covered in cold sweat, his face was pale, and even his breathing was rapid.

He looked exhausted, as if he had just run 15 kilometers.

The gods used his body to communicate with He Lingchuan, and even if it was only for a quarter of an hour, it put a great burden on him.

Dong Rui opened the doors and windows, and He Lingchuan took out a small piece of silver and handed it to the temple keeper:

"Ask you something."

The temple keeper was very tired, but he collected the money quickly: "You, you ask."

The god Puin, whom he worshipped, had just descended and came to see the masked man. The temple keeper was not sure what the two sides said, but he did not dare to neglect the god's attitude towards this man.

"The city ahead." He Lingchuan pointed in the direction of Shizhoutou. "What happened?"

"Shizhoutou was attacked, but Yang defended it to the death." The temple keeper couldn't help but sigh, "This is ridiculous!"

Dong Rui couldn't stand the word "absurd" the most: "What do you mean?"

"Who do you think attacked the city?" The temple keeper raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. "It was the city guard of Shizuotou!"

“Huh?” Dong Rui didn’t understand. “The defender of Shizhoutou attacked his own city?”

"Yes!" The temple keeper smiled bitterly, "I have lived for more than 30 years, and I have never heard of such a strange thing."

"Tell me more!" Dong Rui looked at him. Is this guy only in his thirties? He looks to be in his fifties.

"The city guard is known as Liu Shuheng. He took office as the head of Shizhou two years ago, but he hasn't done anything good. He has been collecting money since he came here, and even collected land money from Puyin Temple."

He Lingchuan praised: "You are talented."

As we all know, temples generally do not pay taxes.

"Half a month ago, the Zhao army suddenly attacked Shizhoutou. Liu Chengshou probably felt that he couldn't win, so he fled upon hearing the news." The temple keeper said angrily, "He could have run if he wanted to, but he even looted Shizhoutou before leaving!"

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked at each other in bewilderment: "Rob their own city?"

"Yes! Maybe he didn't want to let Zhao Jun get away with it." The temple keeper was so angry that his teeth itched, "Even the incense money in my temple was robbed clean. The gods will definitely punish him!"

Zhao Jun? When Yang Shoubei and his men saw the two of them wearing masks, they mistook them for Zhao Jun and thought they were going to sneak into the city to assassinate someone.

"And then what?" Half a month had passed, and the helmet was still there.

"Shoubei Yang couldn't stand it, so he didn't run away with them, and led his men to stay at Shizhoutou." The temple keeper said, "At that time, he was only the deputy commander of the city defense army, and the people of the city followed him to resist. We all thought it was hopeless, it was definitely hopeless, but we didn't expect them to actually drive the invading Zhao army away!"

Dong Rui subconsciously said, "It sounds like the Zhao army isn't very powerful, so how could they scare Liu Chengshou so much?"

Liu Chengshou had taken away the main force of Shizhoutou, and the rest were mostly civilians who had never been to the battlefield, not to mention the old, weak, sick and disabled. Although the defenders had the advantage, wasn't it too easy for Yang to repel the enemy?

Was it that the city governor Liu was too weak, or that the Zhao army was not as fierce as the legend said?
"We have long heard that the army under Zhao Guangzhi of Luodian is very powerful and invincible in attacking cities and strongholds. Before attacking Shizhoutou, they had already conquered five or six places. Oh, and they also eat human flesh!"

"Eating human flesh?" Does Lu Yao have like-minded people here?
"This is a true story." The temple keeper said seriously, "Two believers escaped from the east. They said they hid in the woods and watched the Zhao army light a fire and cook food, eating more than a dozen villagers! The smell of meat was everywhere in the woods, so fragrant that they wanted to vomit."

In such a chaotic place, it is difficult to ensure the logistical supply of troops. They can't even get food, let alone meat?
If you want to eat meat, there are meats everywhere.

Dong Rui said, "Isn't cannibalism quite common here?"

When he and He Lingchuan first arrived at Julu Port, they heard that the refugees were eating people.

Faced with the pressure of survival, the psychological bottom line will be broken.

The temple keeper quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey, you can't say that! Openly condoning or even encouraging the army to eat people is different!"

In front of the army, weren't the people just lambs to be slaughtered? Zhao Guangzhi's army not only plundered their money, but also gnawed their flesh and blood!
