Chapter 32: The Smoke of the War (28)

"First of all, Wang Da thought that with the innate ability of the Sect Master and the power of the Spiritual Soul Art, no one in the world could easily kill the wife. Furthermore, if the Sect Master dies because of this, there will naturally be other capable people who stand up and be elected to take over the Sect Master's wife, which has nothing to do with the facts of the Sect Master's wife. Although the safety of the Sect Master's wife is important, the equality of the soul and will is more important than anyone's life."

After Wang Da said that, he seemed to be angry when he heard this, and added, "Wang Da hopes that the Sect Master's wife understands that people in my Tao must not lose their belief in the will of the soul, and no one can equate with the will of the soul."

Baiyue felt very impatient, but with a smile on her face, she said calmly, "The Sword Saint is right, I understand."

He secretly felt absurd. How could the life value of the head of the Divine Soul Army be equal to that of a soldier? If there is no leader, he will die. The soldier is like the hair on a human body. How can he be compared? But Baiyue knew that it would be futile to continue arguing with Wang Da, so he pretended to be taught to end the conversation and gave up.

On the seventh day after the fall of the South Korean Kingdom, the capital of Xiguan City, which borders Zheng and South Korea, added 50,000 troops, and 200,000 troops were on their way to Xiguan City.

The remnants of the Korean army defected to Zheng State, and set up troops on all the important border roads that could lead to Zheng State, blocking and strictly investigating. At the same time, the army that pacified the land in the north of South Korea was assembled and comprehensively swept the remnants of the Korean army in the south.

In the northern territory of South Korea, many Korean soldiers and civilians who refused to surrender were killed by the Soul Army. The population was reduced by half in ruins than before the war!

Baiyue was very dissatisfied with this and could not accept the excessive massacre of the Divine Soul Army. What they want to invade other countries is land, population, and wealth. Kill all people, burn the villages, and waste the fields. What is the difference between this excessive destruction and the destruction of one's own money? It will also arouse the surrenders to develop an indissoluble hatred and hostility, which is not conducive to future rule.

"Sword Saint, kill everyone, where does the population come from to cultivate, where does the manpower come from to build cities and repair city walls and roads? Where does the tax come from?"

Wang Da was firm in his attitude towards this.

"The great immortal of the soul guides the people in my Tao. Those who do not follow the will of the soul will will be killed without mercy! When the power of the soul will be restored, and when all the fallen people perish or join the way of my Tao, the power of the soul will will give us endless food and water. We do not need to cultivate land, taxes, or slaves. Doesn't the wife of the sect believe in the guidance of the great immortal of the soul?"

"How could you not believe it?"

Baiyue said sincerely, and he just wanted to shake his head in his heart. He secretly realized that if the immortal of the soul really had the magical power that would allow people to eat and drink without having to work, the pursuers of the soul will would not have to endure hunger for so many years. What's more, people can't satisfy themselves by eating and drinking, how to live better than others, how to have richer and more wealthy material needs, and if they get the best life needs.

It's all based on competition.

It’s like a beautiful woman that men love. After all, it’s a minority among women. Who should own it, and how should we decide who should own it? Is it just based on the will of a woman? Will a man who has not been picked willing to give up? When multiple men who are hard to distinguish between the two women occupy the woman’s heart at the same time, and women cannot make a decision?

The result is of course competition. The wise man uses his means to occupy the woman's heart; the brave man defeats his opponent and gives women less choices. Those who are not wise or brave will naturally find it difficult to win from the competition.

Baiyue believed that there were too many poor people who were suffering from hunger and cold, so she believed that as long as everyone did not have to worry about food and clothing, the world would be peaceful. In her opinion, this understanding was too shallow and too ignorant. It made it more difficult for her to understand the reason why Bu Jingxian fanatically believed in the will of the soul.

Baiyue does not believe that Bu Jingxian has such a shallow understanding of the world. He would rather believe that Bu Jingxian has been deceiving everyone in order to perfectly use the power of the group of soul and will seekers to achieve the cause of unification. This reason is easier to accept in Baiyue.

In order to unify the cause, she regards herself as a princess who disguises herself as a wise, humble and tolerant person.

Zhoudu.

The night was covered with clouds, covering the sky above Beiyin City.

Occasionally, a muffled thunder sounded, breaking the silence of darkness.

However, in the palace of Beiyin City, the atmosphere is heavier and depressing than the sky outside.

Ao Pan frowned, had a calm face, and had been thinking for a long time, but he had not made a decision.

Empress Zhou was watched by a circle of old ministers of the Zhou Dynasty with expectations, pondered for a moment, and finally urged the Emperor Zhou to say, "Your Majesty, although you are a little authoritarian, you are still obedient. However, the Northern King's Left Bank is too arrogant, and I also think that he must have a bad intention. At this moment, the Zhou army and horses are all in the old capital, and there are all civil and military generals loyal to Your Majesty to help. It is rare that someone in the Wanxia Sect is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. As long as Your Majesty moves to the old capital and declares the whole city, he will definitely be able to bear all the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. From then on, the Northern King who is like a jackal will not have to be bullied by him again! If you miss today, you may not have such a good opportunity."

Ao Pan stood up long and paced back and forth in the room.

He knew that many people in the Wanxia clan could not accept the immortal soul, and had an unpleasant thing with the Moon Worship. Now, there is no reason why the people from the Wanxia clan take the initiative to surrender. Only the poor will be happy for a moment, such as those of the Wanxia clan who can be called founding heroes, how can those with high status and powerful positions accept it?

If he moved to the old capital, he would indeed be expected to master the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the old capital to guard against the Zheng army, and his full ambitions would be expected to realize it. Zheng State was afraid that the Divine Soul Army was powerful, and at that time he would be willing to form an alliance with the Zhou State to deal with the Divine Soul Army. Even if the Divine Soul Army wanted to capture the Zhou State, Zheng State would not sit idly by.

However, Ao Pan has been in Beiyin City for a long time. He knows that the Bai sisters are not easy to deal with, and he also knows that Bu Jingxian's methods are not their opponents. Ao Pan is not afraid of failure and death in the future. He only feels that even though he knows that he has no future, and even knows that he cannot restore the glory of Zhou Guo, he still struggles in vain. What's the point?

‘Just to experience the taste of being free for three or two years?’

Ao Pan's mood has changed a long time ago, so this is thanks to the Bai sisters.

Bu Jingxian has been in Beiyin City for a little time in recent years. The one who really made the decision in Beiyin City was the Bai sisters. Ao Pan had never been humiliated by them. Although he could not make decisions about many major events, he had never been embarrassed. He had many ambitions and thoughts, but with the demise of Wei, Yan State now facing a demise, with the support of the Black Wolf clan, and the demise of South Korea.

He believed more and more about something called God's will.

The formerly powerful Yue clan is now withering, with the seven strong men rising, and the Black Wolf clan dominating the north. Now the Black Wolf clan has become history, as powerful as the Wei State, it has also destroyed its country in just one year, and South Korea has even died faster, which is even more unbelievable. The next tenth ones are Yan State.

The seven former top seven are now Zheng, Chu, Chen, and Qi.

‘Even if you have the Old Zhoudu, what can you do if you collect hundreds of thousands of troops?’

Ao Pan thought, and felt that everyone's dissuasion was both selfish and childish, and ridiculous, and too unclear. He shook his head with a smile, ignored everyone's questions, and left on his own.

"This, this, Queen, what does your Majesty mean?"

Queen Zhou was also confused and thought for a while, and finally decided to say, "You just go and do it. Your Majesty, I will talk about it!"

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials of the dynasty responded happily and dispersed one after another.

Queen Zhou chased Ao Pan to the harem and found him in the garden. When she saw him sitting alone in the pavilion, looking at the dark clouds and the sky without stars and moons. She hurried over and took the wine pot from his hand and poured half a cup for him.

"What is your Majesty thinking?"

Ao Pan glanced at her and sighed, "I'm thinking about God's will."

"God willing?"

"Not bad, God's will!"

This was the first time Empress Zhou heard this word from Ao Pan for no reason.

"Isn't the opportunity in front of you the will of heaven? Your Majesty has experienced many hardships before waiting for this opportunity. Why has Your Majesty not obeyed the will of heaven?"

Ao Pan couldn't help laughing, drank a cup himself, and suddenly said astonishingly, "God's will is to destroy all branches of the Moon Clan, so I will leave it alone to worship!"

"Why did Your Majesty say this?"

"Don't dissuade you, I hope you give up your ideas. You can't go to the old days, and even if you can succeed, there will be no future."

Queen Zhou said nothing for a while. Unexpectedly, Ao Pan, who had always been ambitious, suddenly shrank in the face of such a god-given opportunity, and became so devoid of fighting spirit.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for being rude. In life, you should have great ambitions. Especially when you are today, you should take the revitalization of Zhoudu as your lifelong ideal. What's the harm in life and death? If you cannot realize your ambitions, what's the use of even a hundred years of life?"

Ao Pan laughed and shook his head.

"Life and death are all right, but doing futile things is even more useless. God's will help worship the family, not the Ao family. Instead of being futile, it is better to sit and watch the family revitalize the Yue family in the future and become the lord of the world."

"Your Majesty has changed so that I will not recognize you." Empress Zhou stood up and left in disappointment.

Ao Pan watched her leave quietly, suddenly felt that everything was just a blink of an eye. The many things he cared about in the past were really ridiculous. Since it was not the emperor's order, why pursue the emperor's career?

‘Stop, I suddenly realized today. From now on, it is better to study the martial arts of the Moon Clan to understand whether it can achieve success. It is to have some hope and to pass the future.’

Empress Zhou decided not to miss the opportunity, so she falsely passed the order and said that Ao Pan had nodded.

Just as Queen Zhou and his group rushed to the old Zhoudu at night, they received a letter from the Feiying on the way.

"Star concubine is the urgent secret letter from the Supervisor of Bilian."

Bai Xing in the carriage woke up from his sleep, took the secret letter and read it, and immediately changed color.

"Autumn, winter, follow my concubine to ride a horse and go to the old capital!"

At the same time, in the old capital of Zhou, a crowd was listening to General Zuo Guijianchou bragging.
