Five hundred and sixtieth IX Barbarian Spirit Religion
"Moreover, the defense plan is exhaustive. If I guessed correctly, several city gates, including the surrounding official roads, trails, and jungles, must have been equipped with strange pets and closely monitored. And
If I guessed correctly, there should be one right above our heads, right?"
As Zhang Qi spoke, he stretched out a finger with his right hand, pointing straight up at the sky above his head.
It was still dark, and the surroundings were still filled with darkness. Although he could not see with his eyes, Zhang Qi could already imagine that there must be a pair of "eyes" above his head, silently staring at him.
After sitting in this arrow tower for a long time, he did nothing but thought about everything. He had already figured out that there were no secrets in the entire Cangxu City in front of Yang Ji.
After seeing the way Yang Ji fought in the primitive jungle, and seeing his mysterious and incredible "little pets", Zhang Qi knew that the young guard in front of him was probably the most powerful, difficult, and toughest he had ever seen.
Terrifying, but also the most skillful guard!
The secrets that he and many others thought were no secrets at all in front of this clever young guard. In other words, they would eventually be seen through by him and would no longer become secrets!
The hall was quiet, Yang Ji tilted his head slightly, a strange look appeared on his face.
Zhang Qi's guess was correct. There were indeed "eyespots" left by him on the four corners of the city gate and above here. But all this was not just for Zhang Qi, but for all three captains.
Although Zhang Qi made the mistake by mistake, he was telling the truth.
"Among the three generals, who else is involved? Or should we say that all three of them are involved?"
Yang Ji said in a deep voice.
"No! Among the three great generals, I am the only one who has joined the Barbarian Spirit Cult! The other two are completely unaware of it."
Zhang Qi said.
Yang Ji remained silent.
Zhang Qi's face changed slightly, knowing that Yang Ji didn't believe it.
"Think about it, if the three of us were all believers of the Barbarian Spirit Cult, then with the abilities of the three of us, we would have been able to cover the sky with one hand. The Barbarian Spirit Cult has long been spread in Cangxu City. The one who attacked you today
, far more than a few hundred people. Even if you defeat four barbarian tribes, it is absolutely impossible to control every soldier in Cangxu City."
Zhang Qi said: When a person is about to die, his words are kind, and when a bird is about to die, his voice is also sad. Zhang Qi knew that he would definitely die. But he, Li Yi, and Zhou Dan had known each other for decades, and they were not willing to die because of him.
drag them down.
Yang Ji remained silent, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. After a moment, he finally nodded, accepting Zhang Qi's explanation.
Indeed! If Zhang Qi, Li Yi, and Zhou Dan were all involved in this matter, the resistance he would encounter in Cangxu City would not be what it is now, but would be thousands of times more difficult.
Think about it, a person is among a city full of cult believers and wants to control the entire city. This situation is unimaginable.
However, if the other two people were completely unaware of such a big thing, Yang Ji didn't believe it either. At least, the two of them didn't report it.
Or maybe he just pretends to be deaf and dumb due to years of friendship!
"Let's do it!"
Zhang Qi closed his eyes: "I know that I am not your opponent at all, and resistance is futile. However,
"Sir, I know you have great ambitions. Being able to handle the affairs of Cangxu City to such a situation is enough to illustrate the problem. A person who can write that kind of policy is definitely not someone like us who can easily guess and compete. I just hope
Sir, you can see clearly. Don't offend the other two because of my relationship!"
"Because of this matter, the two of them are indeed innocent!"
Zhang Qi begged in a low voice.
"I will consider it as appropriate!"
Yang Jiping said calmly.
"Then I have nothing to say. Sir, let's do it!"
Zhang Qi closed his eyes with a painful look on his face.
Life and death are important matters. Zhang Qi knew that he could not escape. It was not because he did not want to escape, but because he knew that there was no chance at all. Escape would also mean death.
Ants are still alive, let alone humans. Take a look
Although I know my fate, the pain is still inevitable.
It's quiet in the hall!
Time suddenly became extremely long at this moment. Zhang Qi was waiting for his death sentence. Time passed slowly, one second, two seconds, three seconds.
I don’t know how long it took, but it felt like a long time had passed. But Zhang Qi did not wait for his death sentence.
"Save your life first!"
A cold voice sounded in the hall.
Zhang Qi was filled with astonishment and opened his eyes suddenly. He saw that Yang Ji had turned around.
"Report to the governor's mansion tomorrow! I'm not always so kind. Everything depends on your own performance. If you want to save your own life, if you want to save your two best friends, then behave well.
Bar!"
After saying this, Yang Ji disappeared out of the door without even turning his head.
Zhang Qi was stunned for a while. After confirming that Yang Ji really left and really let him go, it took him a long time to come to his senses. He let out a long breath, collapsed on his seat, and was speechless for a long time.
Come.
The existence of the "Barbarian Sect" was completely unexpected by Yang Ji!
The existence of this sect has certain special characteristics. When a large number of cities were built in the northwest border, no one, including Cang Xu, wanted to come here at first.
The reason is simple, dangerous!
Later, the court had no choice but to relegate the prisoners who had committed crimes to this place. This was the earliest source of urban residents in the border city.
Large numbers of prisoners and convicts gathered constantly and were guarded by the imperial army. They were engaged in hard farming and labor, and their lives were very hard.
This special situation prompted the beginning of the initial "idol worship" and gave birth to a large number of evil spirits with dim consciousness.
From this kind of idol worship, prisoners and criminals rely on their souls and gain a moment of spiritual comfort from heavy and hard work, so that they can persevere.
Later, the imperial court cracked down on evil temples, and a large number of such evil temples and idols that were worshiped privately were banned and cancelled. In the end, only a few evil temples remained.
The "Barbarian Spirit Sect" is the oldest and most powerful among them.
As a border city, the biggest fear came from the barbarians. The "Barbarian Spirit Religion" absorbed the original prisoners and criminals, as well as the barbarian traders who were originally enshrined by the imperial court, straddling the human and barbarian tribes, and was immediately popular at the time.
And because of its strong barbarian characteristics, the newly born "Barbarian Spirit God" was almost immediately welcomed by those pure barbarian tribes through the influence of barbarian traders, and spread rapidly.
Later, it was almost accepted by a large number of barbarian tribes and became the gods they believed in.
Because of this influence, the Barbarian Sect in turn affected the humans of the Han Dynasty in the border cities, spread widely, and had many believers.
People hoped to avoid destruction and pursuit by the barbarians by believing in the "Barbarian Spirit Religion". This did indeed play a role.
Under the influence of the "Barbarian Spirit God", all cities that believe in the "Barbarian Spirit Religion" receive much fewer attacks than other cities.
The followers of the "Barbarian Spirit Religion" can also use it to avoid being hunted by the barbarians.
Many cities in the northwest border almost have the influence and imprint of the Barbarian Spirit Cult. Because of the imperial court's suppression of evil temples, the Barbarian Spirit Cult cannot yet be brought to the forefront.
Its believers are mainly ordinary people who have no strength. As for the true warrior believers, there are very few.
This is also the reason why Yang Ji only encountered more than 200 masters when he invaded that house.
Despite this, the Barbarian Spirit Cult is infiltrating the imperial court all the time, and at the same time, the Barbarian Spirit Cult has also been vigorously recruiting experts.
Zhang Qi also joined the "Barbarian Spirit Cult" for a very accidental reason. Initially, it was for power and to become the "guardian" of Cangxu City, and the Barbarian Spirit Cult promised to fully support him.
But later, it was no longer that simple!
The guarding position was not yet imprisoned, but the Barbarian Spirit Cult used his influence to infiltrate the army more and more seriously. In the end, it was even out of his control.
Zhang Qi is already in trouble!
"Is this what happened?"
Yang Ji asked.
"Yes. My subordinates have already said everything that needs to be said."
Zhang Qi lowered his head.
Surrounding him were Li Yi and Zhou Dan. They were summoned by Yang Ji. Zhang Qi was talking while the two of them were listening.
When Zhang Qi finished speaking, he explained everything clearly. Both of them lowered their heads and remained silent. In fact, they all knew about Zhang Qi's affairs and the activities of the Barbarian Spirit Cult.
On the one hand, it is because of the huge power of the Barbarian Spirit Sect, and on the other hand, it is also because Zhang Qi has been a close friend for decades, and they came here together when they were young.
This friendship made the two of them well aware of Zhang Qi's activities, but they were unwilling to reveal it.
"Sir, we are also responsible for Zhang Qi's matter. The Barbarian Spirit Sect has become powerful in Cangxu City, leading to the death of several guards, and we cannot escape the relationship. If you want to punish, please punish us together!"
The two said sincerely.
"Punishment must be meted out. As the captain of Cangxu City, you allowed the Barbarian Spirit Cult to grow to this extent. All three of you are to blame. However, the punishment is to seriously injure three people and kill one. Name, just because you don’t have this ability! At best, you are just a tool used by the Barbarian Spirit Cult."
Yang Ji said coldly:
"I will truthfully report the matters here to the court. However, you can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living. Your position as general is dismissed on the spot. Since there is no one in Cangxu City who is more qualified and has more management experience than you, so I will still let you temporarily take your original positions. However, you will be demoted one level and appointed as a captain."
"Before the imperial court's official punishment and appointment, if you are determined, there is still enough time to make up for your crimes and make up for the mistakes you have committed!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The three of them were overjoyed and quickly thanked them.
