Chapter 158 The God is Furious

Author: Potato Sweet Potato Pie

Chapter 158 The God is Furious

Leizhou Peninsula is adjacent to Qiongzhou Bay and across the sea from Qiongzhou Island. Both places are under the jurisdiction of the Chief Secretary of Guangdong. In the early Northern Song Dynasty, Kou Zhun and Kou Laoxi'er, who led Song Zhenzong to conquer in person, were demoted here.

.

It is said that after Kou Zhun was demoted to Leizhou, he never slept peacefully for a day, because this land was very evil. Thunder was rolling all day long. There were 360 ​​days a year, and there were more than 200 days with thunder.

, as few as a hundred days.

Leizhou, Leizhou, got its name because it often encounters thunderstorms, and the thunderstorms in Leizhou are said to be the best among the four in the world.

People of this era did not know that it was the mantle magnetic field, the complex terrain of the peninsula, and various factors that caused thunderstorms all day long, and they blamed everything on the gods.

In this peninsula surrounded by the sea, instead of worshiping the Sea Dragon King, worship the God of Thunder. Temples of the God of Thunder can be seen everywhere.

"Rumble"

On another day when thunder roared from the sky, the whole sky was dark, and from time to time a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. More than ten people came running from the official road on dozens of fast horses.

The people on the horse were all dressed in short-sleeved uniforms, dusty and dusty, and their faces were unkempt and unkempt.

From the capital to here, it is at least five thousand miles. Each person has four horses, changing horses from time to time, and traveling for several days to reach the territory under the jurisdiction of the Chief Envoy of Guangdong.

Since entering the land of Guangnan, I have discovered that there are abandoned farmlands everywhere, abandoned shabby houses and ruins everywhere, corpses that have not yet been buried, and countless people waiting to die from hunger.

The further south you go, the more you see the scenes of continuous disasters. Now that you have arrived in Leizhou, you can even see the glorious power of God.

Lightning, thunder, and roaring sounds came rolling in, resounding in the ears. Dark clouds covered the top of the head, and the sky seemed to be about to collapse at any time. Under this majestic power, everyone felt a sense of breathlessness.

Out of breath, inexplicable feeling of horror.

"The gods are angry, this must be the gods' wrath." Someone said in horror, and his dry, white and cracked lips began to tremble.

The people who were silent looked at the vast tracts of abandoned farmland around them, the villages along the road with no inhabited people, and the corpses of people killed along the road. When they recalled what they had seen along the way, confusion and shock appeared on their faces.

Sex, and in my heart I also believed that the land of Guangnan was too miserable for human beings, which was why the god of heaven was punished.

The leading man was the first to react from his horrified mood. He looked around at the crowd and yelled: "What the hell are you panicking about? Even if it is really the wrath of the gods, what does it have to do with us? What a coward."

These weaklings are products from Nadong Factory, cheer me up!"

Hearing this, everyone present looked stern and felt a little braver. The man squinted his eyes and looked in the south direction. Only black clouds were lingering, and nothing else could be seen.

But he knew clearly that that was where Qiongzhou Island was located, and now the entire Qiongzhou Island had been occupied by those rebellious traitors.

Their mission on this trip was to secretly find out the cause of the Qiongzhou Rebellion, but they had not yet crossed the sea to Qiongzhou Island, so they had a vague suspicion in their hearts.

The man looked at the rammed earth city wall that was vaguely visible in the distance, and whipped his horsewhip: "Come on, follow me into the city. I'll wait day and night. Those dogs in Dongchang must be far behind us. We

Let’s explore Leizhou City first, then take a rest and have something to eat.”

————————————————————

At this time, in Leizhou City, a dozen people were resting in an inn that was still open for business.

More than a dozen people sat in the room and took off their boots. Immediately, a strong stench filled the room, like a dead rat soaked in pickled cabbage.

The foot-wrapped cloth has not been opened for many days. The sweat mixed with the blood from the broken calluses has soaked the entire foot-wrapped cloth into a yellow-brown color. As the foot-wrapped cloth is torn open in circles, the smell becomes even stronger.

This time it's like canned herrings soaked in Laotan sauerkraut.

The room was so smelly that more than a dozen people could not open their eyes, and their eyes began to secrete tears involuntarily. A man sitting in the middle fanned his face hard with his hands, and cursed: "You fucking people

These feet look like they have been soaked in someone’s cesspit, which made me shed tears.”

Everyone kept their mouths closed and said nothing, not only because their feet really stunk, but also because they were afraid that if they opened their mouths, they would inhale the stinky smell into their lungs and cause serious internal injuries.

Seeing that no one was talking, the man didn't care. He threw the smelly cloth that bound his feet to the ground, then took out a dagger from his waist. He used the sharp blade to pick up the blisters on his feet and said with a grin:

"Everyone has seen that the entire Guangnan land is in a miserable state, especially in Leizhou, where there is thunder and lightning. It's really frightening.

I was ordered to come here to investigate the cause of the Qiongzhou Rebellion, but the misery we saw in Guangnan along the way was shocking, and I am afraid that the inside story of the Qiongzhou Rebellion will be shocking."

"Ah"

At this point, the man narrowed his eyes and sneered, "This is a natural disaster, and I'm afraid we can't escape man-made disasters."

When I came here, I was running around day and night. I didn't take a closer look, let alone inquire, but these eyes were not for show.

Refugees and disaster victims are everywhere, and people are dying of hunger everywhere. The more you go south, the more so. Last year, there was a severe famine in the fields, and the people had no food or rice to eat.

However, in the prefecture and province where the disaster was so rapid, no government officials in any city opened porridge shacks to provide porridge for disaster relief. Perhaps I can barely explain the reason. This was because they were afraid that the rebels from Qiongzhou would invade across the sea and lose the city and land.

But cities hundreds or even thousands of miles away from Qiongzhou are still like this, which is intriguing.

"Those Jinyiwei spies are probably still eating our horseshoe ashes behind. Let's have a good night's rest today. We will cross the sea to Qiongzhou Island early tomorrow morning. We all need to cheer up. Don't be fooled by those Beizhen Fusi guys.

Let's keep the competition going, otherwise Eunuch Xiao will feel that he has lost face and none of us will be able to escape."

Hearing the words Eunuch Xiao, everyone present felt a little trembling in their hearts. Eunuch Xiao was not talking about the man in the palace, but the father-in-law in the East Factory who had a dull expression and an extremely charming smile.

This father-in-law not only has a charming smile, but also has many terrifying ways of torturing people.

The mouths of many felons are like the stones in the latrine, which are smelly and hard, but as long as this man goes in, in half a day's work, even the fact that he wet the bed at the age of three can be found out.

In name, he is in charge of Dongchang, but who doesn't know that this is the real owner of Dongchang.

Thinking of this Eunuch Xiao, everyone became more energetic and nodded in agreement.

"Shopkeeper, we are all horse traders. These horses are extremely valuable."

The man was about to continue his lecture when he suddenly heard faint voices coming from downstairs, including horse hooves stamping on the ground and snorting sounds. He immediately shut up and turned to look at the window.

After a few pauses, he walked barefoot to the window, then opened the window and looked down.

The man leading the Jin Yiwei seemed to have something, and turned back to look upstairs. When their eyes met, both of them stared at each other and their expressions changed.

A glance of thousands of years, like when Pan Jinlian saw Ximen Qing, time seemed to be frozen in this moment.

The next second, he closed the window, turned his head, and at the same time cursed in his heart for bad luck.
