Chapter 966: The True God is in the Capital, the False God is in the Western Regions
A slanderous report, a world of its own.
The slanderous reports about Shuyalou often touch the hearts of many people in the world. Often, the things mentioned in the slanderous reports are enough to make people talk about them for many years. After so many years, the story has become the yearning of many people.
The names, stories and rankings in the slanderous newspapers are all the world in the hearts of the people in the world, and they are also the existence in their imagination of making a name for themselves.
And today, Shuyalou suddenly released the latest slanderous newspaper on a day when it was not updated. Without exception, people from all over the world rushed to grab it, wanting to see what was going on.
Where Shu is located.
Xia Tingyu seemed to be in a relaxed mood recently, with no one to bother her. She would always go to meetings if she was happy to, and would not go if she was not happy to.
In the past, an official had advised the King of Shu against Xia Tingyu's behavior, but that official assumed that Xia Tingyu was the prince of Shu, which was why he acted like that.
Xia Tingyu knew that the old man had good intentions, so he felt deeply saddened.
I even write down notes every day to remind myself.
First day of writing, Xia Tingyu, you have to attend the meeting today, you must not be so decadent anymore, you must not wander around the streets anymore.
The next day, Xia Tingyu was told that he must attend today's meeting and remember the lesson.
On the third day, I should go to today’s meeting.
On the fourth day, I caught a dude while shopping and teased him for a while, it was interesting.
Day 5. Today I encountered a Persian juggling troupe while shopping. It was great fun.
On the sixth day, Xia Tingyu, ah Xia Tingyu, how can you not go for a stroll while you are having a meeting?
On the seventh day, the food from the newly opened shop next door tasted good, and the girl who played the music was very pretty and had very white hands.
…
So after trying it, Xia Tingyu simply gave up and continued with his previous attitude of going when he wanted to and not going when he didn't want to.
She is the one who warns others and does not allow others to warn her.
Today, Xia Tingyu was not at home, but went out, because a caravan from the Western Regions came to the city today.
Although Xia Tingyu looked relaxed, in fact, the seemingly peaceful officialdom in Shu was actually in chaos.
Regardless of the various news or rumors in the army, many people have been punished in the past few days. The most serious one was directly dismissed from the military and demoted to a commoner.
In the end, the King of Shu waved his hand and threw the matter to Xia Tingyu and Xia Ruoyun.
Xia Ruoyun was trembling with fear, but no matter what she wanted to do, there would be no end to the matter unless Xia Tingyu spoke up.
For example, those who were caught in Shu before said that Your Majesty and Your Majesty were both women and could not have children, and in the end the heir to the throne would still have to be chosen from among the vassal kings.
As for the punishment for this man, Xia Ruoyun meant to punish him with 100 strokes of the cane and exile him to the border to do hard labor as a warning to others.
But Xia Tingyu didn't say anything, and everyone could only stare at him.
There are many other things besides this.
But these things seemed to have nothing to do with Xia Tingyu. She didn't move at all. This was why everyone was worried.
Xia Ruoyun didn't dare to act rashly. Even if the assistant official asked Xia Ruoyun, the Second Prince had been to the eldest princess's mansion several times but had never seen Xia Tingyu, so he could only laugh it off.
But there are more and more rumors in the city, and everyone can only worry.
The Western Region caravans come to Shuzhou almost once a year, or in other words, there will be caravans coming to any major city in Daxia.
At this time of year every year, many people bring enough silver to see the rare goods from other countries sold by the caravans.
Kun Ling was the only one beside Xia Tingyu.
Wu Qinhu was not interested in these things, and now that the old blind man was around, he played chess every day and was unwilling to go out.
The old master of Yizixuan has now openly moved into the eldest princess's mansion.
Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that this clearly meant that he was on the side of Her Royal Highness the Princess, he did not dare to think too much about it.
Since Wu Qinhu was with the princess, it seemed natural for this old senior to live in that mansion. Especially this old senior, he would stroll around the Second Prince's mansion from time to time.
At a caravan stall, they sold snacks from the Western Regions, Eight Treasure Tea from the Western Regions, and a special cold drink called Shelibie.
Xia Tingyu doesn't like cold food, so she asked for eight-treasure tea.
He was sitting on the stall, holding in his hand today's defamatory newspaper of Shuyalou.
This slanderous report was bought at a high price. When Xia Tingyu came out, he was thinking about buying something from the caravan. He was thinking about whether there would be any nice glass cups or wine. It would be best if there were luminous cups.
However, I heard someone talking about the slanderous newspaper on the way, and then I knew that the slanderous newspaper had been updated, so I bought a copy to read.
Kun Ling looked around. There were many people on the caravan street today, so Kun Ling was more cautious than usual: "Your Highness."
I just saw something and called out.
Xia Tingyu raised his fox eyes and noticed Kun Ling's gaze. He looked up and realized that it was a person dressed as a Zoroastrian.
There are not many people, just a few.
There are also Zoroastrian temples in the city, and the presence of Zoroastrians is not a big deal.
However, Xia Tingyu noticed that the flame badges on the hands of these Zoroastrians were decorated with pomegranate flowers.
"Female God of Fire?" Xia Tingyu was so smart and knew a lot about the Western Regions, so she couldn't help but be puzzled.
But at this time
Several Daxia people walked in.
They looked like some Jianghu people. The swordsman walked in and was obviously acquainted with the Western Region merchant. He smiled and greeted him, then said to his companion, "Brother Liu, come on, this is the Eight Treasure Tea. Let's have a sip first. If you like it, I'll buy some for you."
Brother Liu nodded: "Try it!"
As they talked, several people sat down.
Naturally, he noticed Xia Tingyu's charming eyes, but when he noticed Kun Ling, he subconsciously withdrew his gaze.
Several people could clearly feel that the woman with the scar on her face should not be messed with.
But just after they sat down, one of them couldn't wait to take out the latest Shuyalou newspaper and put it on the low table, then said, "Come on, let's continue."
Brother Liu said, "Haven't you said enough?"
The man laughed, then looked at the newspaper in his hand and said, "Is that enough? What this lady did, damn it, we Jianghu people can brag about it for the rest of our lives if we can accomplish even one thing in our dreams, but look at the fact that Yuzhou wiped out the remnants of Huanxi Temple, and those people who colluded with Huanxi Temple, just this matter, how satisfying it is!"
Brother Liu said, "What's really amazing is that he fought against Yu Taohua and Yan Yunxiao and they tied. He deserved to replace Huang Chao. And here in Wuping Town, if Shuyalou didn't make a mistake or wrote it like this on purpose, then he risked his life to save others."
The first person spoke up immediately: "Yes, damn it, I didn't expect those Mobei people to hide so deeply and use such sinister means, and they also planned to kill everyone in a town in Daxia. I have seen the methods of the Raojiang people in the early years. They are neither human nor ghost, not to mention how scary it is. Not to mention what is said in the book that the monsters transformed by the Grandmasters of the End have become much stronger."
The third person said, "Shuya Tower never makes false things, so it must be true. Especially since this involves the Queen, how dare she make a false one? And have you forgotten? Wasn't there a world meeting in the capital before? Didn't the people there say that the Queen used some tricks to save many people?"
Brother Liu nodded, but immediately frowned: "But it says that the queen absorbed all the toxins from the whole town into her body, and there was no further news after that. Maybe something went wrong."
As he spoke, the man glanced at the Zoroastrian who was walking over.
The emperor has not ordered the killing of all the Zoroastrians, otherwise, after such an incident, how could these people still move around like this?
However, the Western Region merchant who set up the stall may have heard the conversation between the few people. When he walked forward with the Eight Treasure Tea, he spoke in fluent Daxia Mandarin: "Friends, we are different from those Zoroastrians in the capital. They are a group of liars wearing our religious robes."
When the three heard this, they looked at the vendor.
The man from the Western Regions placed his hand on his chest, saluted the three people, and said, "We believe in the true God of Fire. We have also experienced the disaster caused by the false god, and witnessed the coming of the true God and the punishment given to those false believers of the false god. We are the true believers, and we will not do anything bad to you Daxia people, because we understand one thing. God chose our generation to make us one family with you."
After hearing what the merchant said, the three people from the martial arts world looked at each other, wondering what this man from the Western Regions was talking about.
The vendor did not explain much, holding the pomegranate flower wrapped in a flame and said: "We believe in the true God, we are not enemies."
Kun Ling watched this scene and looked down at Xia Tingyu: "Miss."
Xia Tingyu raised her eyes and saw Kun Ling's eyes full of doubts. She smiled charmingly and held a dessert between her fingers and put it to Kun Ling's lips: "Your Majesty, it's okay. If there was something wrong, my sister would not have done such a thing. She would have already started killing people. Even if we were here, we could smell the smell of blood."
Kun Ling held the snack in his mouth, nodded slightly, glanced at the vendor, and then looked towards where Xia Tingyu was.
Xia Tingyu's fox eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled: "If you want to ask, just ask. If you let me guess like this, if I'm a little stupid, won't I be unable to answer anything?"
Kun Ling lowered her head while chewing the snack in her mouth.
Xia Tingyu smiled and said, "It wasn't that sister's doing. It looked like it was caused by a muddle. When we were in the capital, wasn't that what happened to the Zoroastrians in the capital? And so many people knelt down in front of Su Changan at that time. However, I didn't expect it to develop into this, and..."
Xia Tingyu smiled charmingly: "Send someone to check whether the people in the caravan have contacted the Zoroastrian people in our city. Just find out clearly, there is no need to disturb them. Be careful, I guess Uncle Dian, Uncle Wang, and Grandpa Yan will send people to check, don't let them find out."
Kun Ling nodded.
However, Xia Tingyu lowered his head to look at the slanderous newspaper on the table, and listened to those Jianghu people talking about the things in the slanderous newspaper. His slender fingers gently tapped the things about Huanxi Temple in the slanderous newspaper. His fox eyes fell into thought: "Xiao Wu is in his own house."
Kun Ling nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yes, Madam Zou has been taking care of her."
Xia Tingyu raised the corner of his mouth: "Let's buy something. It's time to go and have a look."
Kun Ling was startled, but still nodded. However, when he looked up at the street to think about what to buy, his eyes caught the two people in the crowd on the street: "Your Highness."
When Xia Tingyu heard this, he followed Kun Ling's gaze and saw Xia Ruoyun and the Fourth Princess walking on the street.
But when they noticed the pair of fox eyes, they stopped at the same time.
Xia Tingyu raised the corner of his mouth, and his fox eyes revealed a cunning look: "Isn't this just right?"
Xia Tingyu doesn't need to do anything.
Xia Ruoyun and the fourth princess Xia Shengyi walked quickly towards where Xia Tingyu was.
But it was clearly visible that the two people had different expressions on their faces.
Xia Shengyi's face showed panic.
But Xia Ruoyun was nervous.
"Meet big sister."
When they came in front of Xia Tingyu, they both greeted him at the same time.
Xia Tingyu waved her hand: "Family, please sit down."
The two dared not disobey.
But he didn't dare to get close to Xia Tingyu.
Instead, Xia Tingyu pulled Xia Shengyi to sit next to her, which made the Fourth Princess tremble for no reason, but she still sat down obediently.
Xia Tingyu looked at Xia Shengyi and asked, "Did Fourth Sister go to see Xiaowu recently?"
Xia Shengyi nodded immediately: "I've been there."
Xia Tingyu leaned in and looked at Xia Shengyi.
Xia Shengyi looked embarrassed and didn't dare to look directly at Xia Tingyu: "I didn't lie to you, big sister."
Xia Tingyu looked distressed: "Why are you so scared of me? I just wanted to ask if he's okay."
Xia Shengyi didn't know how to respond when he heard this. He had lost an arm, and all the power his father had given him was taken back. If he hadn't been a prince, who knows how many people would have taken advantage of his situation. Don't you know whether this is good or not?
But Xia Shengyi still said obediently: "I lie down every day."
Xia Tingyu said "Oh", then said: "Let's go and have a look together later, I just have a few questions to ask."
Xia Shengyi nodded, but the next moment he raised his head and looked at Xia Tingyu with his foxy eyes, which showed even more panic.
Xia Tingyu pinched her little sister's cheek and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm not going to kill him. I'm just going to take a look."
Xia Shengyi grabbed her sleeves, very scared.
But Xia Tingyu turned his head: "Ruoyun."
Xia Ruoyun immediately stood up and looked at Xia Tingyu, and immediately bowed: "Sister."
Xia Tingyu looked at Xia Ruoyun's actions and said with a smile: "Don't pretend, you are not that afraid of me, sit down, haven't you been looking for me to see me these days?"
When Xia Ruoyun heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips and said, "I came to you because I need you to make the decision on those matters."
While Xia Tingyu was giving Xia Shengyi some snacks, he asked, "Those things are not important. But Master Yao, I heard that you were forgiven by Master Yao after you apologized for your crime?"
Xia Ruoyun quickly said, "I offended Master Yao before, so I went to apologize."
Xia Tingyu looked at Xia Ruoyun, his fox eyes fixed on the Second Prince.
Xia Ruoyun inexplicably broke out in sweat.
Xia Shengyi was biting her lips, at a loss.
However, Xia Tingyu smiled and said, "It's okay. Remember to go more often in the future. Nothing must happen to Master Yao before he finishes his own business. After that, he must be sent back to the capital safely. I leave it to you."
Xia Ruoyun clasped her fists in panic.
However, Xia Tingyu looked at Xia Ruoyun and clasped his fists instead of bowing, smiled gently, and then said: "If you go to see Xiaowu, what should you buy?"
That’s all I have to say.
The people from the Western Regions in the caravan suddenly began to whisper to each other, and some even took out blankets and spread them on the ground.
Many people who have some knowledge of Zoroastrianism know that this is a worship service.
But everyone is puzzled
direction.
The blanket that was supposed to be heading northwest towards the Western Region turned out to be heading northeast.
The people of Daxia around saw this and were all puzzled.
Someone couldn't help but open his mouth to remind them.
But the vendor said, "The true God is in the capital city in this direction."
Then continue to worship.
But this statement also made the people of Da Xia around them feel strange, including Xia Ruoyun and Xia Shengyi. Is the real God in the capital?
Xia Tingyu stretched lazily and said, "Let's go, don't look at them anymore. You can think of what they are worshipping as the beauty of a nation's destiny."
At this point, Xia Tingyu's eyes flickered, and then he said, "A fool who has the fate of the country wrapped in him."
…
Ps: The update is a bit slow these two days, it's the end of the month and the Chinese New Year, please forgive me
