There was a banquet at the fraternity.
Xiao Shuai and Kalemi sat quietly while Fobole and Dazhuang in front of them were wolfing down their food.
Da Zhuang pointed his wine glass at Xiao Shuai and said incoherently: "Brother, I didn't expect you to be so awesome in your hometown... From now on, we two brothers will follow you!"
Foberle was eating so much that his mouth was full of oil. "Yeah, brothers, are you guys eating too? It would be so awkward for just the two of us to eat. I have to say, your sea cucumber is amazing! It's tasty and chewy!"
Xiao Shuai smiled and said, "We have already eaten. You can take your time eating. You are welcome to eat here! I will tell you about your situation after we finish eating."
Then he looked up and sighed, "It's really rare. The four of us, brothers in distress, have ended up in Dajing. I didn't expect to be together again in Feika today."
Fo Bole and Da Zhuang kept nodding, and then Fo Bole wiped his mouth and said, "Let's talk about the important things first. According to Lord Fang's instructions, the two of us came here specifically to listen to your orders."
"Also, the court has issued an edict specifically for you, quasi-brotherhood will be incorporated into the Jinyiwei. This was written by His Majesty himself."
After saying that, Fo Bole took out the imperial edict and handed it to Xiao Shuai.
The emperor issued the order personally!
Merge into Jinyiwei?
Xiao Shuai quickly took the imperial edict and read it several times. He couldn't help but tremble all over: "It's worth it! It's worth it! This time we have a solid backer!"
"Don't get excited yet. Before meeting you, we also met Lord Lai. He said that you are secretly investigating a traitor named King Wu, right? He said that there is no need to investigate now, and you should stop everything and develop your own power. He will find you if he needs you." Da Zhuang said
Xiao Shuai was stunned when he heard this: "Not checking anymore? I have already laid out my people! Why not check anymore?"
"Well... Lord Fang wrote him a letter. It should be arranged by him. He said that Dajing is at a critical moment right now, so he should avoid any possibility of conflict and focus on business. The so-called King Wu is not worth the court's efforts."
"But it's not surprising to make such a decision. You don't know what kind of monster Dajing has created. Do you know about trains..." Dazhuang started talking with saliva splashing.
"...Trains and steam engines are good, but they are expensive. Of course, making money is the most important thing. If railways are laid all over the country in the future, I can't imagine what Dajing will become!" Da Zhuang said with a beaming face. "The letter sent by Lord Fang said that the court is preparing to use steam engines to develop warships! If this succeeds... then the world will be in chaos! But this matter only needs to be known to our own people, and you must not tell anyone else."
"....." Xiao Shuai was stunned after hearing this.
I was shocked beyond words by this new news.
Steam engines and trains that run automatically and can carry tens of thousands of pounds sound like hieroglyphics.
It felt like he had been away from Dajing for a few years, and then someone came to tell him that the entire country of Dajing had ascended to heaven. It was so magical...
"Is what you said true or false..." Xiao Shuai's throat tightened.
"We both saw it with our own eyes, how could it be false? Damn it, it's amazing!" Da Zhuang's expression was extremely exaggerated.
Xiao Shuai felt a sense of loss.
How many good things has he missed in these years of absence...
"Brother, what do you want us to do here? Tell us first so we can be prepared." Foberle said, "We can do a lot. It's not in vain that we have been in Dajing. We have learned a lot of unique skills from the Jinyiwei special training!"
Xiao Shuai pondered for a moment and said, "Secret Skill? That's perfect. The Brotherhood has already penetrated into the country of Xiluo. If they go deeper, they will reach the Holy City."
"Just now, Kalemi brought me news that Father Soljie will go to the Holy City after he becomes the Archbishop, and Brother Gou may go with him."
"You two are strangers. I will arrange a ship and personnel to take you to Hiero. Once you pass through Hiero and enter the Holy City, you can recruit some brothers to strengthen your strength. If Brother Gou needs anything, we can still lend a hand."
"The Holy...Holy City? That's at the feet of the Pope. Are you kidding me?" Fu Bole and Da Zhuang raised their heads at the same time and said hesitantly, "Aren't we just going to die?"
I originally thought I could enjoy life with my buddies, but I didn't expect to be given such a big job right away?
Xiao Shuai said calmly: "Of course you are right. In fact, I don't think it is difficult. I will send capable people to help you."
Da Zhuang said worriedly: "How can it be successful? I heard that the Holy City is built very luxuriously, and the people in the Holy City are all loyal believers. If we are exposed, we will be dead..."
Xiao Shuai said calmly: "People can only see the prosperity of the Holy City, but no matter how prosperous a city is, the poor must far outnumber the rich. Otherwise, who would maintain this city? If there really is such a paradise city where there are no poor people, then there must be countless bones hidden under the city, and countless people are secretly being oppressed and exploited."
"Those poor people at the bottom of society are like rats and cockroaches in the gutter. No one treats them as human beings. So as long as we use a little trick, they will be willing to join us. Many of my brothers have gone through this."
"Don't worry, what I said is absolutely right. Every year, many devout believers go to the Holy City and are reluctant to leave. These people must be hiding in places where the poor gather. The Church has been increasing taxes and donations, and they must be living in misery. What you do may be much easier than you think."
Da Zhuang was silent for a while: "No, brother, are you determined to fight against the Holy See?"
"Not really, but we have already rebelled. If we want to survive, we must develop our power. How can we survive if we are chased by the church every day?" Xiao Shuai was indignant. "Now that the Brotherhood has officially merged into the Jinyiwei, what are we afraid of? Why don't we hurry up and build up our strength?"
