These three bastards! They sold it to him without any hesitation!
Damn it, but it’s better to sell it. He’s carrying it in front to prevent those idiots from letting it slip.
Xiao Shuai fell into deep thought, feeling confused.
I just don’t know what to say now, I’m so confused!
What does this rebel king of Dajing want to do with the Brotherhood? I really can’t figure out the relationship between them.
The fact that he could instruct the diocesan army meant that he had cooperated with the church. Since they were suspected of being members of the Brotherhood, they should either be tried locally or killed directly. There was no need to bring them all the way back to Sangak for interrogation.
While he was thinking, the King of Wu spoke first: "I know you are confused now. You don't have to rush to answer me whether you are a member of the Brotherhood. I believe that one of your three brothers will be willing to tell the truth. You may as well wait for a moment."
Finished!
I'm dying, dying, dying...
A strong sense of despair rose in his heart, and Xiao Shuai's face turned pale.
I've been in the underworld for such a long time and everything has gone smoothly, but today I'm going to die here for no apparent reason?
King Wu glanced at him nonchalantly, walked back to the table and got busy.
About half an hour later, a group of soldiers entered the palace to meet the emperor, prostrated themselves and said, "Your Majesty, the three suspects have confessed that they are members of the Brotherhood."
"As for why they appeared in the Diocese of Dedro, the three of them had no idea, and all said that this person was behind it." The soldier pointed at Xiao Shuai and continued, "Your Majesty, should I impose a heavy sentence on him for interrogation?"
Xiao Shuai looked as pale as death.
Damn it! These three bastards betrayed him again, and they are still so tacit?
These three dogs are quite cunning, they don't say a word and just put the blame on him.
King Wu stood up and waved his hand: "No need to continue the interrogation, take those three away to treat their injuries."
Treat injuries?
Xiao Shuai was stunned for a moment, then raised his head in surprise.
The King of Wu had already walked up to him and asked with a smile, "Do you have anything else to say?"
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Shuai said, "I am a member of the Brotherhood. I have fallen into the hands of Your Majesty today. I have nothing to say."
The King of Wu clapped his hands and laughed, "Good! Come, please take a seat!"
First he treated his wounds, then he gave him a seat... He was trying to bribe the Brotherhood! ?
Once this idea appeared, it immediately grew wildly like weeds and could not be stopped.
Xiao Shuai's heart gradually calmed down.
As long as there is no shouting for war and there is room for change, it will be easy to deal with.
As soon as he sat down, he heard King Wu say, "I have heard of the Brotherhood for a long time. There are traces of Brotherhood's actions in many countries. Moreover, they dared to assassinate priests when the church was at its peak. This really makes me admire them."
"I am not a member of the church. In my eyes, the Taifu Church is no different from the devil. They oppress the good, seize the people's wealth, and even extend their tentacles into various countries to interfere in government affairs! I will never tolerate any of this!"
"When I first ascended the throne, a cardinal from Sangak came to discuss with me the matter of offering sacrifices and building a church. At first, I was willing to cooperate with them, but who knew that the church would continue to intensify its actions and even dare to give me advice on state affairs."
"The tributes became more and more numerous, and the invasions became more and more urgent. Finally, I could no longer tolerate it, and I executed two cardinals in Sangak. The neighboring countries led troops to attack, and I could only fight back. Later, I learned that the Pope came in person and the dispute stopped."
"I wonder if you have heard of this?"
He has heard so much about it!
Xiao Shuai was shocked and stood up, pretending to be excited, saying, "Everyone in the Brotherhood knows about this! It turned out that it was your Majesty who did it! But how did the Pope negotiate peace when he offended the Church like this?"
King Wu smiled and said, "It's nothing. Our country has a weapon called Divine Punishment, which is extremely powerful. Although our country cannot resist the church's army, the other side can't do anything to us either. After a long stalemate, I will use the Divine Punishment weapon as an inducement to seek peace."
"Although I hate the church's way of doing things, the war threatens the survival of the people after all, so I have to make some compromises."
"I see." Xiao Shuai said, "Your Majesty is devoted to the people, which is really admirable. But I still have a question in my mind, how can Your Majesty mobilize the army of the Didero Diocese? This should be the army under the command of the church."
King Wu said: "This is not difficult to explain, because the Pope is a guest here."
After that, he clapped his hands and said, "Please bring the Pope here."
Xiao Shuai was secretly shocked.
He knew that the Pope was still alive and was commanding the diocese in secret, but his whereabouts remained a mystery.
I didn’t expect it to be here!
Not long after, the Pope hurried into the temple.
It was still the same outfit he wore in the temple. It seemed that someone on King Wu's side had made new clothes for him.
It’s just that people lack a lot of energy and spirit.
When he walked in front of the King of Wu, he knelt down with ease and said, "Your Majesty!"
Xiao Shuai's eyes began to twitch.
The Pope...how did he become like this?
King Wu nodded and said, "Get up and stand aside."
The Pope stood aside with a blank expression on his face.
"As you can see, he now serves me as his master and works under me, so you don't have to worry about the church targeting the Brotherhood again. The reason why I am so open and honest is that I still want to cooperate with the Brotherhood. Now it's my turn to ask you, what is the situation inside the Brotherhood, and why are you in the Diocese of Dedro?"
Xiao Shuai's mind raced, trying to get rid of those complicated thoughts and trying not to look at the Pope standing beside him.
The situation is very delicate now.
King Sangak is the traitor that Dajing is hunting down. The Pope was captured here, and the church is controlled by Sangak through him.
The six major dioceses have been recruiting soldiers and adding defensive weapons to the city walls.
There is only one answer that comes to mind...
This guy wants to unite with the Brotherhood to rebel against Dajing!
After thinking for a while, Xiaoshuai had an answer in his mind. He took a deep breath and said, "Since Your Majesty told you the truth, I can't hide it either."
"The Brotherhood has been developing rapidly in recent years. At its peak, it has grown to more than 5,000 members. We have established a Brotherhood base in the Holy City and converted it into its headquarters. We were planning to build up our strength and then counterattack the Church, but we didn't expect a force to suddenly come and lead troops to attack the Holy City."
"Not only did they capture the Holy City, they also supported a puppet pope and blamed the unrest in the city on the Brotherhood. Countless soldiers searched the city for traces of the Brotherhood.
"We originally wanted to organize some resistance, but we didn't expect them to be so cunning that they actually released the temple's treasury and bribed many of our brothers."
"At the time, I was in the city with some loyal brothers. With nowhere else to go, we had no choice but to follow some of the people who were fleeing in panic in the Holy City to the Diocese of Dedro."
"Later, we thought the storm had passed and wanted to leave and return to the Holy City to check the situation and make further plans. However, we did not expect that the diocese had been under martial law and we could not leave the city. This is the situation."
The King of Wu nodded secretly.
Part of it was consistent with what he knew, and the other part was reasonable.
"Do you know who is attacking the Holy City?"
