Chapter 206 Auspiciousness
"I am a thief to begin with. If I stick my head out, I will get stabbed. I will fight!"
Wang Shun thought of this and no longer hesitated. He knelt down and said, "Please teach me, Grandpa White Ape!"
"Well, this young man is teachable!"
Fang Xian laughed loudly: "I am a monster, I like to see the world in chaos... Naturally I have to help you."
These words made Wang Shun feel a chill in his heart, yet he felt relieved. He understood why this monster wanted to help him. It turned out that he wanted to disrupt the human world and make himself a traitor!
But at this point, there is no other way to go.
Then the white ape said, "You still have some people in your original village, right? Most of them believe in you and obey you. This is the team that started your business... Bailiang Mountain is very large, and there are many mountain villages inside. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. You can unite with them."
Of course, the mountain people are poor and the village population is small.
Even if they unite, they cannot break through any county town, and at most they can be like the Liangshan bandits.
This is a pure power disparity.
But, isn’t there still Fang Xian?
'With my current power, I can only help him to capture cities and plunder lands, and cause chaos in a prefecture. When the imperial army arrives, I will still be defeated. Because the world is peaceful, it is a bit false to say that people's minds are at peace, but it is true that the Great Zhou is still strong... Unless I break into the capital alone and kill the emperor... Hmm? I seem to have done that? '
"But, it's just a chess piece, there's no need to do this, it's just a test... One prefecture is enough!"
Wang Shun didn't feel at all that he had become a chess piece, but rather a predetermined 'discarded piece'.
At this moment, I felt a little strange in my heart.
"White apes are auspicious signs. Grandpa White Ape asked me to rebel. Could it be that... I still have some royal aura in me?"
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but get excited: 'Even if it doesn't work, being a rebel king in a peaceful and prosperous era will definitely go down in history. Even if I am infamous for thousands of years, it is better than dying quietly! '
…
Copycat.
Most of Wang Shun’s family and relatives were arrested and taken to the county.
With the majesty of the imperial court, the elders and village chiefs did not dare to resist.
But everyone has a fire in their heart, but without a spark, it cannot burn.
night.
In an empty room in the mountain stronghold, several yamen runners were drinking and eating meat.
The wine was home-brewed by a villager, and the taste wasn't very good, but it was still swallowable. The meat was freshly hunted game, and the taste was really good.
"Come on, drink some wine!"
A yamen runner filled the chief's glass with wine and asked, "He, can we really gain anything if we stay here?"
"I don't know where Wang Shun learned his exquisite swordsmanship from. He was really sharp and killed many people. The county magistrate was furious, but there was nothing we could do..."
He Tou started talking more after drinking. "According to my experience in hunting down criminals, most criminals want to go home or hang around once they are out of danger... However, there are many experts in the hunt this time, such as the Qilian brothers, Old Huang, etc. I estimate that Wang Shun will not be able to run away for long before he is arrested. Come, eat some meat. This meat is really good..."
"Hetou, I'm a little scared... The eyes of that guy from the mountain village today seemed to want to eat me." The bailiff said with a bitter face.
"What are you afraid of?"
He Tou put down the bowl and said, "Kong Cao acted on his own initiative before, and he might be afraid of being forced to rebel. Although it can definitely be settled, he, the culprit, cannot escape. He must go to the vegetable market, and maybe even be cut into pieces."
"But we are different. We have the king's order! This is the majesty of the court. We are not afraid that they will dare to rebel!"
"That village chief is also a smart man. Didn't he voluntarily hand over Wang Shun's family and provide us with wine and meat? Don't be afraid, eat and drink in peace, and you can get some benefits before leaving!"
Anyway, with the county magistrate taking the blame, to some extent, they are even more unscrupulous than Kong Cao.
"That's true."
After hearing this, the other yamen runners calmed down.
After eating and drinking, he fell into a deep sleep.
…
midnight.
He Tou was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.
"What's going on?"
He rubbed his eyes and just stood up, wanting to touch the knife, when the door was kicked open and a group of hunters rushed in: "It's them, tie them all up!"
"You...you dare to rebel?"
He Tou rubbed his eyes and almost thought he was dreaming.
How dare they...rebel? How could they rebel?
In fear, he subconsciously said angrily: "How dare you arrest me? Aren't you afraid that the imperial army will raze your village to the ground once they arrive?"
The hunters refused to listen and tied up the runners and took them to the square of the mountain village.
There, a man was sitting in the position of the village leader, and it was Wang Shun.
After seeing him, He Tou reacted immediately: "You traitor, I'm waiting to see how you die."
Wang Shun ignored him and just sat there quietly.
After all the people in the village had gathered, he shouted, "I, Wang Shun, believe that I am worthy of the people in the village, but this village leader betrayed me first and now wants to sell out our entire village for his own glory and wealth. I cannot tolerate this."
He is the leader of the hunter team in the village and is considered to have the highest military force. All the hunters respect him very much.
"Today, in front of all of you, I will take revenge! After my revenge, I will hide in the mountains, and we can all part ways in peace!"
This was a lie, but he said it so sincerely that tears came to his eyes.
Several young hunters shouted, "Boss, don't leave. We can just fight them!"
As for the people from other villages, seeing that it was none of their business, they fell into strange silence.
"As expected... the majority of people in this world are silent, just like what Grandpa White Ape said."
Wang Shun saw this scene and waved his hand: "Bring them all up."
Immediately, a hunter came up with several people, one of whom was the former village chief.
Wang Shun showed a grim smile, stabbed him to death with a sword, and looked at Lao He again.
"Traitor, kill me now."
Lao He knew that he would not be able to escape today, so he closed his eyes.
This is not because he is not afraid, but he wants to put on a show and get a reputation of "dying by scolding thieves", which may leave some benefits for his family.
At this moment, suddenly, a strong wind blew.
The torches flickered.
Faintly, everyone saw a white figure landing on the roof of a house in the village.
Under the moonlight, you can clearly see that it is a white ape.
True auspiciousness!
The white ape spoke, his pronunciation clear and loud: "Da Shunxing, Wang Shunwang!"
After three calls, it disappeared without a trace.
The people in the village were stunned, and some old people even knelt down.
People living in the mountains are the most superstitious, and the white ape is indeed a good omen.
The white ape said that Wang Shun had the king's order. Even He Tou was startled for a moment, and then he trembled all over: "Could it be that the destiny is not in the Great Zhou? No... Impossible!"
"Boss!"
Several young hunters shouted , "The white ape has spoken. This is a good omen. The destiny is in your hands. You will surely be crowned king in the future!"
Having said that, he immediately bowed down.
This person is actually Wang Shun's die-hard fan and also the one he hired to take over.
In ancient times, rebellion always had to be based on some kind of destiny, which could be considered a public opinion offensive.
Things like 'the stone man with one eye instigates rebellion in the world', 'the son of the Red Emperor kills the son of the White Emperor', 'a book hidden in the belly of a fish, a fox calling at night', etc., are all of this type.
Fang Xian had his own advantages, so he used them without hesitation.
After all, how can a fake one be as shocking as the real thing?
I have to say, the effect is pretty good.
Seeing this, people from other villages also knelt down.
