Xiangyang City.
At this time in Xiangyang City, the streets were bustling with people.
They are going to welcome an important person today, and this important person has many titles.
The leader of the Demon Cult, the best in the world, the God of Sword.
He is the current leader of the Ming Cult, Lin Lang!
Since half a month ago, when Mingjiao leader Lin Lang announced his uprising to fight against the Tartars, people's views on his evil cult have changed slightly.
According to rumors, the Demon Cult is cruel and ruthless, unscrupulous and capable of committing all kinds of evil. It is the enemy of the Central Plains martial arts world and the cancer of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Although they had not been persecuted by the Demon Cult, rumors were frightening, and as more and more people spoke, they gradually believed the rumor that the Demon Cult was an evil cult.
However, ever since the sword god Lin Lang, the world's number one master, took the throne, the rumors about the Demon Cult among the people suddenly changed direction.
The sword god Lin Lang sacrificed himself for justice and forced the evil leader Dongfang Bubai to retreat. He set an example and led the demon sect onto the right path to fight against the Tartars.
This rumor spread across the country in just half a month.
Even Guo Jing, who had guarded Xiangyang for many years, was a firm believer in him and praised the noble character of the Sword God Lin Lang on many occasions in public.
He also stated that he was willing to use his life to guarantee the Sword God, and swear to prove that the Sword God Lin Lang was truly fighting against the Tartars and had no conspiracy.
At this moment, the people dispelled all their doubts and truly regarded the Ming Cult leader Lin Lang as a great hero and a great man.
Today is the day when the leader of the Ming Cult leads an army of 50,000 to pass through Xiangyang and work with the frontline soldiers to drive out the Tartars.
They had been waiting in the street early this morning, just for the chance to catch a glimpse of the legendary number one master in the world.
“Here I come!”
Suddenly, someone shouted.
The city gate slowly opened, and a man wearing green armor, with a fair face but extraordinary temperament, was seen riding a huge colorful beast and slowly approaching.
Behind him were a group of generals and a huge army.
"roar!!"
The huge beast roared, and everyone immediately felt their ears vibrate and their hearts began to pound.
"Oh my god! Such a huge beast can be called a sacred beast!"
"The world's number one expert is truly extraordinary. Even his mount is so majestic and powerful."
"This giant insect is almost as tall as a small building! How many pounds of meat does it eat in a day?"
When the tiger entered the city, the people around it trembled with fear, fearing that the tiger would suddenly attack and swallow them one by one.
But then they felt relieved, because they saw that the big beast did not hurt the people around it when it took a step, and was as obedient as a big cat.
Gradually, seeing that the noisy noises did not arouse the tiger's ferocity, the people's cheers became louder and louder.
Lin Lang sat upright on the king's back, smiling kindly and waving constantly.
"Hahaha, hello everyone!"
"Thank you for your hard work, comrades!"
The king rolled his eyes. It had been a long time since the master had seen such a big scene. It was so embarrassing!
In the back, Xiao Hei frowned, his expression full of doubt.
"Brother Hei, what's wrong with you?" Jueyuan felt that something was wrong with Xiao Hei, so he stepped forward and asked.
Xiao Hei glanced at Jueyuan and whispered, "Jueyuan, I always feel something is weird."
"What's strange?" Jueyuan asked puzzledly.
Xiao Hei whispered, "We, the Ming Cult, have announced our uprising with such fanfare, yet the imperial court hasn't made any move."
Jueyuan was stunned. "What kind of action could the court have?"
Suddenly, he clapped his hands and said angrily: "That's right! We helped the court fight against the Tartars, they should be grateful to us, at least they should give us some military funds!"
It's really chilling that the court is silent at this time."
On the side, Juexin couldn't help but slap Jueyuan and said speechlessly: "Brother Hei, that's not what you meant!"
"Haha, Juexin still understands me."
Xiao Hei smiled, then looked serious.
"Logically speaking, since we, the Ming Cult, have made such a big announcement and announced our uprising against the Tartars, the imperial court shouldn't remain silent.
No matter what, although the imperial court has long known about the fact that we, the Ming Cult, have been secretly raising a large army, they have always been wary of us. We keep a low profile, and the imperial court pretends not to know.
But now that we have announced our uprising, the fact that the Ming Cult has privately raised a large army has been made public, which has already brought disgrace to the imperial court.
Externally, the imperial court was very weak, but internally, it was not someone to be trifled with and would be as ruthless as possible.
But why was it that this time we had a smooth journey from Guangmingding all the way to Xiangyang, and were treated with great courtesy by officials along the way?
I guess it’s impossible that they are afraid of us, the Ming Cult.”
"Hmph! With your pig brain, it's unlikely you can guess it!" Li Mochou spoke.
Xiao Hei said with a smile: "Mo Chou, do you know?"
"Hmph! I don't know. If you want to know, go ask your master."
Xiao Hei: “…”
…
In front, Lin Lang's mouth curled up slightly. Naturally, he heard what Xiao Hei and others said.
When Dongfang was in power, it was no longer a secret that the Ming Cult privately maintained a large army.
The court did not intervene in the matter because on a dark and windy night, Dongfang broke into the palace and chatted with the emperor for a while, and then visited several ministers.
Since then, as long as Dongfang Bu Si was alive, the imperial court dared not act rashly.
In this world, the East's strength is already invincible.
If she had not been secretly intimidating the Mongolian high-ranking officials, Guo Jing's life would not be as good as it is now.
Who would even have the energy to hold a demon-killing conference?
This time, he announced in a high-profile manner that he would send troops to fight against the Tartars, but the court looked down on him, which also made him look bad.
If the court had the ability, it would definitely punish Lin Lang and the Ming Cult for treason.
But although Dongfang abdicated, they did not know that Dongfang had already left this world.
Because they were afraid of the remaining power of the East, they chose to remain silent.
The world of martial arts is not like real history. A martial arts master who is elusive, hard to guard against, and invincible is enough to intimidate any force.
Even if this force is the current imperial court!
Lin Lang personally led the troops this time, but it was just a formality to boost his reputation.
He just scoffed at the remarks he heard along the way.
Do you think that by controlling public opinion and getting people to say something nice, Lin will definitely fight the Tartars to the death on the front line?
It was a good plan, but it was also what Lin Lang needed.
Although he only brought an army of 50,000 this time, they were no different from cannon fodder to the powerful, brave and warlike Tatar cavalry.
The imperial court also wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the Ming Cult and weaken the Tartar's military strength, killing two birds with one stone.
However, Lin Lang’s greatest ceremonial object was not the 50,000-strong army, but the numerous chess pieces in his hands.
If Black Dragon had not suddenly advanced, he would have only planned to bring a few thousand soldiers to follow Black Dragon and clean up the mess.
Once the Tartars are defeated this time, these public opinions will become a help to Lin Lang, rather than a pressure from being at the top.
By then, when Lin Langteng takes action, the Southern Song Dynasty in this world will be turned upside down and face a reshuffle.
In this chaotic world, if Lin Lang wants to become the common ruler of the world in the eyes of the people, he may have to play a game of "Happy Landlord".
Without destruction there is no construction, only after destruction can one establish.
