Chapter 103 Wang Mang is humble
Yuzhou.
The White Lotus Council Hall.
The White Lotus Saint sat on the main seat, with more than ten people standing on her left and right.
Wang Mang stood to the side of the White Lotus Saint, looking dignified and solemn, holding a knife.
"Everyone is almost here."
The White Lotus Saint's voice was soft, clear and pleasant, echoing in the hall, "Tell me about the news you received recently."
"Reporting to the Saint, Mo Qiu committed suicide and fled far away after killing Emperor Zong Ming. The new emperor came to the throne and pardoned Mo Zhe. There must be a reason behind this. We must send someone to investigate carefully!"
Someone immediately stood up and said.
"According to the letter from our spies in the imperial capital, it was because of another martial arts master who took action! That person was Mo Qiu's close friend, but he never revealed any of his methods, and was unknown to outsiders. It was not until Mo Qiu killed the emperor and the new emperor surrounded and killed him that his identity was exposed."
"We have already investigated Mo Qiu's background, but there are many doubts about his best friend. According to the information from the spies, that person is at most in his early thirties! A martial arts master in his early thirties? It's ridiculous! I think either the spy is crazy, or we are crazy!"
"That's why this matter seems so strange. But after all, Mo Qiu once won the chance of immortality. If he is willing to support one person, he may be able to give birth to a martial arts master. But the outside world says that he presented the immortal stone to Emperor Zong Ming. Now it seems that it is an exaggeration!"
A series of disturbing voices were heard, most of which were voices of doubt.
Yuzhou is closer to the imperial capital than Yangzhou, so it is natural that it can receive more comprehensive news earlier.
In addition, the White Lotus Sect has a long history and many believers, and even has people lurking in the imperial capital. It has a considerable advantage in terms of information channels and can see more clearly the truth hidden beneath the surface.
Wang Mang's expression looked a little strange, and he almost couldn't maintain his dignified and solemn appearance.
Could it be Brother Gu who caused these guys to argue endlessly?!
After all, in the Mohist Martial Arts School, he really didn't know who else could be the one who had always been non-confrontational and hidden except Gu Dan.
He had studied martial arts at the Mohist Martial Arts School and was the first child to learn under Mo Qiu.
It’s just that Master Mo is too simple and honest. He can be admired, yearned for and worshipped by others, but it’s hard for him to be liked by others.
After all, a guy who keeps nagging in your ear that everyone is having a hard time and so we shouldn't be extravagant can still be quite annoying even if he really sets an example himself.
In comparison, he is closer to Gu Dan.
Even though he did not continue to train in the Mohist Martial Arts School and started to work hard on his own, he would often go there to find Gu Dan to have a drink and chat, and talk about the romantic experiences he had seen.
Different from restaurants, teahouses and brothels, it seems like there is a place where one can leave behind all worldly affairs and quietly wait for the years to pass by, where the soul can find peace.
Unfortunately, everyone has different experiences in life, and before he was about to get married, he had to leave. It has been a year now.
In just one year, too many major events have happened to Dayue, and he has also experienced a lot, so much that even he finds it unbelievable.
Now, suddenly hearing the news about an old friend at the highest level meeting of the White Lotus Sect, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Brother Gu, the master of Mo Pavilion killed the emperor. Is that you, the new martial arts master? Your age is right too!
I think I am probably going to make it big now, and I wanted to settle down and bring you over to enjoy life, but now it seems that I thought too much. The meeting was getting intense, and Wang Mang was already in a trance.
"alright!"
It was not until the pleasant voice sounded again that Wang Mang came back to his senses.
The White Lotus Saint on the main seat had a gloomy expression on her face. She said, "No matter what the intention of that newly emerged martial arts master is, he has not taken any action before, which means he probably has no intention of competing for the world. Why waste your breath here? Do you think you can change the mind of a martial arts master just by saying a few more words?"
The faces of more than ten people below all turned unhappy.
"What we should be concerned about now is the coalition of four countries! Daqing has allowed its soldiers to massacre the city and commit genocide, which is unjust! Everyone, if you have any insights, please share them with us," Saint White Lotus said again.
"Although the Four-Nation Alliance is unstoppable, Dayue is not made of clay. Massacre of cities sounds terrible, but even if he were to massacre one city after another, he would die of exhaustion and still not be able to finish it! Besides, after Yuzhou, if the Four-Nation Alliance has the chance, they will definitely go to Yangzhou. What does it have to do with us?"
"That's right. The land of Yangzhou is rich and well-known to the world. The Huang Dynasty will suffer the consequences if it stirs up trouble in Yangzhou! When the coalition forces of the four countries come, won't they just flee with their weapons and armor abandoned? They will also have to spit out what they have obtained. We should take advantage of this time to vigorously develop the church!"
"Well said! We occupy the Central Plains and have to face threats from the government. How can we spare the time to care about the war in Yuzhou? Why don't we think of a way to occupy the imperial capital first? Then we can change our flag and name. Wouldn't that be great?"
The whole room burst into laughter.
Everyone was talking at once, as if they could capture the imperial capital and occupy this beautiful country tomorrow.
Wang Mang couldn't help but clench his fists after hearing this.
These bastards only care about their own little piece of land and have never thought about the whole Dayue world.
When the country is broken and the sky is falling, is it okay to not think about how to revive the world and start dreaming about ascending the Dragon Pavilion? In terms of pattern, let alone being on par with Master Mo, he is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Huang Dynasty! With such a group of people, even occupying the mainstream of the high level, it is no wonder that the White Lotus Sect has always failed to accomplish anything even though it has traces in all dynasties.
How can a person who does not care about the world win the world? At most, he can only take advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble, which is not worth mentioning.
A parliament like this will never get anything done even if it comes back a thousand times.
Just as Wang Mang expected.
The parliament was over soon.
When everyone had left and only the White Lotus Sect leader was left sitting in the main seat, Wang Mang's serious expression finally relaxed.
It’s not easy to be a clay puppet!
After relaxing his body and standing for half a day, Wang Mang sat directly on the slender legs of the White Lotus Saint.
The tender little hand brushed across her cheek, and the White Lotus Saint's eyes showed tenderness. She said softly, "Wang Lang is in a bad mood?"
"Not really."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Wang Mang shook his head, buried his head in her arms, and said, "The White Lotus Sect won't go far."
"That's not the right thing to say!"
The white and tender fingers gently pressed on the lips, which felt a little itchy.
Wang Mang simply grabbed his finger and began to nibble on it gently.
"ah!"
She patted Wang Mang's back gently with her beautiful hands, and the White Lotus Saint blushed slightly, "Don't mess around!"
“No mess.”
After adding some saliva to her face, Wang Mang said seriously, "If the White Lotus leader doesn't agree with us, how about we just go and seek refuge with Brother Gu?"
"Brother Gu?"
The White Lotus Saint looked confused.
"That's the martial arts master they were just discussing!"
Wang Mang raised his head and was embarrassed to say that he was actually Mo Qiu's first apprentice.
Do you know what connections are? "Is he willing to take us in? The White Lotus leader is very powerful." The White Lotus Saint hesitated slightly.
In the past, when fighting for the chance to become an immortal sent from heaven, the White Lotus Cult mobilized almost all its members, but she happened to meet Huang Chao, and was severely injured and nearly died from just one blow.
If Wang Mang hadn't rescued him, he would have died immediately.
What happened after that is not worth telling to outsiders.
In short, she trusted Wang Mang very much, and he was someone she could entrust her life to.
"Brother Gu is a very good person! Besides, I actually have some relationship with Master Mo. No matter how powerful the White Lotus Sect Leader is, can he beat two of them?"
Wang Mang said seriously: "The White Lotus Sect is not capable of accomplishing anything. At most, it can only cause chaos. With the White Lotus Sect leader putting pressure on them, I think it will be over sooner or later.
Even if we have to leave, we must strive to get the White Lotus inheritance first, which can also be considered a gift!"
"White Lotus inheritance?"
The White Lotus Saint showed helplessness on her face. This thing could only be viewed by successive White Lotus leaders. Even though she had the title of the Saint, how easy would it be to get it?
"Let's take it one step at a time."
As he was speaking, Wang Mang heard some noise coming from outside and immediately stood up.
He seemed to have become an emotionless guard again, humble and subservient.
