Chapter 90 Every major event begins with a nursery rhyme
In just one day, the news of Xia's invasion of Yun Kingdom had spread throughout Zhongqing City, and was even spreading to the entire Yun Kingdom at an alarming speed.
Especially among the people in the market, the statement that Baiyan Temple in Jianchang Prefecture acted as an internal collaborator was spread among the people, and for a while, people's hearts were floating!
In the country of Yun, the influence of Buddhism is extremely high among the people. Almost every family believes in Buddhism. The monks in the temple are also regarded as the great virtues of the world and are highly respected.
This point can be seen from the fact that hundreds of schools of thought have never been able to develop their power into the Yun Kingdom for hundreds of years, which is enough to show their appeal among the people.
However, now the monk's treasonous remarks have undoubtedly caused waves among the Yun people.
Few people in Beijing have been to Jianchang Mansion and don't know the situation there.
For this important border town, everyone remembers that when the Yun Kingdom established its dynasty, it withstood the founding emperor of the Xia Kingdom who had troops sweeping across the world. It was an indestructible barrier in the north of the Yun Kingdom.
No one thought that such a majestic and solid border town fortress would be breached overnight.
Because of this, although there is no evidence for Baiyan Temple's treason, many people still choose to believe it.
Because other than that, no one else could figure out why Jianchang Mansion, a fortified city that had been built and reinforced for hundreds of years and relied on the danger of the river, was so easily breached.
The entire Zhongqing City was instantly shrouded in dark clouds.
All the people looked worried. From time to time in the streets, alleys, tea stalls and taverns, people would be seen talking about the authenticity of this matter. Many people even became red-faced in public because of this matter.
There were only half-grown urchins who didn't know what the adults were arguing about. They were running in groups in small groups and having fun as usual, humming nursery rhymes they had learned from nowhere.
"...The turtle dove cooed, and the monk sipped tofu. The tofu was a piece of dregs, and the monk sipped dada. A piece of daddy shell, the monk sipped water chestnuts, and the water chestnuts were sharp. The monk looked at the sky. There were four mixed words in the sky. The monk did something, something.
If you commit another evil act, I will arrest the monk and chop off his head..."
The urchins gathered in groups and chased each other. As soon as they reached the corner of the street, they were suddenly stopped by someone.
The person who stopped the child was a scribe in his thirties with a solemn face.
"There are noble people passing by in front of you. Don't rush into them just because you are naughty!" the scribe said seriously with a cold face.
The scribe's serious look scared the urchins so they didn't dare to do anything wrong and cautiously looked around.
Sure enough, at the street junction ahead, there was a group of elite forbidden troops, armed with weapons and solemn military looks, standing guard in front and blocking the road ahead.
No matter how ignorant the naughty boys were, they would not dare to rush into the battle. They glanced timidly at the scribe's serious face, and then, as if they had a clear understanding, they all turned around and ran away.
The scribe looked at the backs of the children leaving in a hurry, his expression still serious and his face indifferent.
"Zibu, Zibu, I told you not to show that face to everyone, but you just don't listen. Now, even the children have been scared away by you!"
At this time, the person who made fun of this serious scribe was also pretending to be a scribe.
But compared to the seriousness of his companion, this person has a gentle smile and a kind temperament. Although his tone is teasing, it is not annoying, but makes people want to get closer.
The serious scribe named Zibu shook his head. Before he could say anything, he suddenly stopped and said to the gentle scribe beside him:
"Coming!"
The scribe turned his head and looked around, and saw that on the royal road in the city where the Imperial Guards were strictly guarded, there were chariots driving against evil, chariots marking the road, and chariots from the imperial palace taking the lead in clearing the way.
Flags were fluttering, canopies were fluttering, and they walked by one by one amid the sounds of rituals and music.
Then, the elite imperial army was dispatched, holding halberds, swords, bows and arrows, escorting the emperor's jade chariot and slowly driving forward.
With such a battle on the road, the entire Yun Kingdom, except for Xiao Cheng, no longer thought of being the second person!
"Zigang, have you decided to surrender?" the serious scribe suddenly asked.
The gentle scribe nodded and said firmly:
"Your Majesty, judging from what he has done, he must be an accomplished king. At this time, he is very short of manpower. If I can help him, I will be put to good use!"
Hearing this, the serious scribe nodded silently and said:
"rational!"
Scribe Wen was suddenly startled, turned to look at him, and said doubtfully:
"Hey, Zibu, didn't you just say that although His Majesty's methods are powerful today, he can never stop the three forces of Xia, Li and the border army, so you advocated temporary peace?"
The serious scribe shook his head and said:
"I just suddenly discovered that His Majesty is not that simple today. It is quite beneficial to serve him!"
"Just discovered? What did you discover..."
The gentle scribe was also a man of outstanding intelligence. Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered the song that the child had just hummed.
His eyes lit up and he said in surprise:
"Zibu means that nursery rhyme just now?"
The serious scribe nodded and said solemnly:
"Every major event begins with a nursery rhyme! Moreover, rumors spread all over Zhongqing City in one day, and nursery rhymes were everywhere. Apart from Jinshang, I really can't think of anyone else!"
The gentle scribe lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and praised:
"Zi Bu, you are very observant and have a quick mind!"
The serious scribe twitched the corner of his mouth and gave him a somewhat awkward smile.
-----------------------
Blue light flashed past Xiao Cheng's peripheral vision.
Xiao Cheng frowned and turned to look.
Through the gap in the jade curtain, Xiao Cheng vaguely saw the two scribes standing at the corner of the street not far away.
[Fu Wu Er Zhang] Four fonts shining with blue light appeared above the two people's heads.
[Zhang Zhao... Loyalty 78 (rising)...]
[Zhang Hong...Loyalty 91...]
Xiao Cheng curled his lips and suddenly said to Feng Bao beside him:
"I asked you to send people to the two people named Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong before. How are the arrangements now?"
Feng Bao knelt down and sat aside. Hearing this, he bowed and replied:
"Your Majesty, we have sent enough manpower to keep the two of them under surveillance. Whenever the two of them have the intention of leaving Zhongqing City, someone will immediately capture them."
Although the loyalty value of the person represented by the card is initially full, due to different personal personalities and philosophies, it will decrease to a certain value over a period of time.
Most of the card characters are very capable people. But Xiao Cheng has never been in the habit of causing trouble for himself.
Therefore, in order to prevent the card character from joining others like Wen Tiren and causing him trouble in the future, Xiao Cheng arranged for Feng Bao to send his men to monitor the two of them as a backup.
"Withdraw it!" Xiao Cheng said casually.
When Feng Bao heard this, he immediately bowed and said without asking anything:
"yes!"
Xiao Cheng's carriage drove out of Zhongqing City, and not long after, the jade carriage slowly stopped.
