At this time, Xie Dan Qiong could not help but miss Mo Tian Ji and Boss Chu Yang.
Whether it was Mo Tian Ji or Chu Yang, he believed that as long as one of them was here, they would be able to guess the other party's plan. They would not be as passive as he was now, without any clue.
The situation was clear now. He knew that the other party must have a big plan, but he could not see any clues at all …
Mo Tian Ji's subordinates in the Tianji Intelligence Department were also depressed about this. This was because there wasn't a single piece of valuable information about Yuan Tian Jie. Could it be that the other party's intelligence system was really sealed so tightly?
In front of him, there was a continuous battle going on like a raging fire.
But behind, there was a city of worries, unable to do anything.
Mu Cang Lan sent out a large number of spies, and even mobilized all the spies that were still in the government of Mo Yun Tian, but they still could not find out any useful information.
But gradually, a wave of opposition suddenly rose. At the beginning, there was only a little of this, and it was almost unnoticed. But gradually, it evolved into a prairie fire.
"His Majesty the Sky Emperor is a Heavenly Demon? How stupid is this statement! How laughable! "
"Is this Mu Cang Lan out of his mind? It's fine if you want to rebel. After all, people strive for greater heights and water flows to lower places. You want to take a step further and rule over a part of the world. Everyone can understand this idea. After all, you are already an extremely powerful official. If you want to go further, you can only rebel. Even if you say that His Majesty Heaven Emperor is muddleheaded and tyrannical, or that he is addicted to beauties and licentious, these are not surprising. However, you actually slandered His Majesty Heaven Emperor as the incarnation of the Extraterritorial Demon.
"His Majesty the Sky Emperor has been in charge of Mo Yun Tian for millions of years. In these millions of years, could it be that only you, Mu Cang Lan, have the discerning eyes to see that His Majesty the Sky Emperor is a Heavenly Demon? Are the others blind or deaf? Do they not know how to distinguish between humans and demons? "
"Since His Majesty the Sky Emperor is a Heavenly Demon, then what are you, Mu Cang Lan?"
"Mu Cang Lan, scheming and scheming, a pure traitor!"
"Think about it. In the past million years, Mo Yuntian has undergone several changes. His Majesty the Sky Emperor is like a stabilizing needle, intimidating the entire Sky Emperor. If it's really the Sky Demon, who wants to overthrow Mo Yuntian, there are tens of millions of opportunities … Why hasn't he made a move yet?"
"In conclusion, His Majesty the Celestial Emperor is definitely not an Extraterrestrial Demon. It is impossible for him to be the incarnation of an Extraterrestrial Demon!"
"So Mu Cang Lan is simply spreading lies to mislead people! This is unforgivable! "
This wave gradually rose, gradually took shape, and its momentum gradually became great. Slowly, it swept through the whole Moyun Sky, and the spearhead was directed at Mu Tianlan.
Moreover, there was no way to stop it! No matter how he tried to defend himself, it would only make things worse!
"We commoners just want to live a peaceful life. We were clearly living well before. Why do we have to start a civil war just because you said that His Majesty the Celestial Emperor is an Extraterrestrial Demon?" Some people were dissatisfied, but they voiced the thoughts of the commoners.
"Once the flames of war start, the commoners will have no way to live. Don't you understand these principles, Mu Cang Lan?" Someone said bitterly.
"Not to mention that His Majesty the Sky Emperor is not an Extraterrestrial Demon, even if he is, he wouldn't harm the commoners of Mo Yuntian! On the contrary, my ancestors have been under the rule of His Majesty the Sky Emperor for generations. They eat their fill and wear warm clothes! What's wrong? If this is the day of being ruled by the Extraterrestrial Demons, I'm perfectly willing to accept it! "Someone was being unreasonable, spouting specious and fallacious arguments.
"Right now, Mo Yuntian is filled with the flames of war. Is this your original intention for 'slaying the demons'?" Someone asked seriously.
There were even some Confucian scholars who wrote rapidly, waving and writing, cursing Mu Cang Lan with thousands of words.
"Mu Cang Lan is an ambitious person through and through! For his own ambitions, for his own hegemony, he will do anything! "Someone asserted.
"He's a traitor, yet he wants to give himself a sanctimonious and dignified reason to rebel. Shameless to the extreme!" Someone said disdainfully.
"What you said is simply nonsense. If there is no reason to rebel, what right does Mu Cang Lan have to rebel?" Someone analyzed with a wise face.
"Reasonable, reasonable." Most people agreed.
"Mu Cang Lan, you said that His Majesty the Sky Emperor is an Extraterrestrial Demon. Why don't you take out conclusive evidence! Could it be that you can convict someone just by opening and closing your mouth? Who do you think you are?! "Someone was extremely indignant.
There were also countless public declarations that appeared out of nowhere!
"'Book of Ten Thousand Words: My discussion of Mu Cang Lan's ten major crimes!'"
"'Punitive expedition against Mu Cang Lan! Return Mo Yuntian! '"
"'Ten reasons why Mu Cang Lan is bound to lose!'"
All these things came crashing down in an overwhelming manner.
In just a few days, everyone had a feeling that when they woke up, the entire world was against Mu Cang Lan! Everyone was pointing at him, everyone was cursing him!
In this world, what kind of group was the strongest?
That was, the masses!
The masses who did not know the truth. This group of people was undoubtedly the strongest! After all, in any world, the truth was only known by a few people who had the qualifications.
And in a hundred thousand people, there might not even be one person who understood!
Although Yuan Tianjie himself did not make any excuses, he used a very effective and simple method to fiercely counterattack Mu Cang Lan and Xie Danqiong!
I won't defend myself!
Why should I defend myself? The innocent knows that they are innocent! Why should I defend myself?!
If I, as a Sky Emperor, have to come out to refute such a ridiculous and nonsensical matter, then I really can't afford to lose this face!
Mu Cang Lan, you can say whatever you want, just let him say it.
Don't tell me that if he says I'm an Extraterrestrial Demon, then I'm really an Extraterrestrial Demon?
Yuan Tianjie did not need to say these words at all. Naturally, he would! He would say it!
Moreover, those people who said it for him were far better than what he said himself! Even more so!
However, the ironic thing was that everyone who said this was a bunch of people who did not know the truth and were just following the crowd.
Moreover, the more ironic thing was that most of these people were knowledgeable people who thought that their own understanding was the truth!
This kind of situation simply made everyone who knew the inside story sigh from the bottom of their hearts.
But in this kind of situation, there was really no evidence to insist that Yuan Tianjie was an Extraterrestrial Demon! At least, there was no evidence that could obtain everyone's approval!
The Rebellion of the Seven Princes. How could ordinary people know what kind of people the Seven Princes were?
There was even less of an explanation!
Once this kind of public opinion arose, it could not be controlled at all. Even the source could not be found. The more it spread, the more intense it became. Even Xie Danqiong and Mu Cang Lan's camps were quietly spreading similar news.
Some people even thought, "Is it true or not?"
"Is it right for us to follow Mu Cang Lan and rebel like this?"
"At that time, I only listened to Commander Mu's one-sided words, and my blood heated up, and I blindly followed him. But now that I think about it, there are actually too many things that I don't understand. There are too many strange things."
"That's true, the logic is really so …"
"Silence! Is this something that can be said here? "
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."
If they did not say it here, where could they say it?
Was there a place that specialized in this kind of topic?
For a moment, the morale of the army wavered. The soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the generals had no fighting spirit. Mu Cang Lan's trusted subordinates consecutively beheaded many of the lower-level officers who had spread the rumors. However, this kind of action only made the rumors more and more intense.
"I'm afraid this rumor is true. Otherwise, why would he kill people? He must be angry out of humiliation! "
"It seems that Commander Mu is guilty. Otherwise, why didn't His Majesty the Sky Emperor kill those people who spoke ill of him …"
When Mu Cang Lan found out about the killings, he immediately issued an order to stop it. However, the public opinion had already expanded to the point where it could no longer be salvaged.
On a certain night, there was an incident of desertion in an army.
There were not many people. There were only a few of them.
However, on the second day, the number of deserters suddenly increased greatly. Thousands of deserters appeared in the various army camps overnight.
On the third day, the general of an army suddenly announced that he had left the uprising army and retreated. His whereabouts were unknown.
Following that … the fourth day … the fifth day …
Such situations actually became more and more frequent, and became more and more intense. In the beginning, they could still use military discipline to punish the deserters and calm the chaos. However, later on, it became a situation where the law could not punish the masses.
Large batches of deserters continued to appear.
Faced with such a situation, Mu Cang Lan and Xie Danqiong were so worried that their hair almost turned white. They never thought that the great situation that they had created with great difficulty would be destroyed by such rumors!
Now, of the seventy million people in the uprising army, only those who had followed Mu Cang Lan at the beginning remained. The total number of soldiers was less than twenty million.
The rest had more or less dispersed. Of those who remained, it was not known who was still trustworthy. Who was left behind to be a spy and prepare to betray at the crucial moment to atone for their crimes.
Perhaps some people were still observing and had not decided whether to leave or not.
Faced with such a situation, Mu Cang Lan and Xie Danqiong were completely helpless!
The other party had not even made any big moves and he had already been defeated by mere rumors!
Defeat without a fight!
This was undoubtedly the biggest humiliation in Mu Cang Lan's life! The biggest failure!
However, there was no way to deal with it.
As the Heavenly Emperor, Yuan Tianzhi had already ruled over Dark Cloud Sky for millions of years! It was deeply rooted and deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people.
Mu Cang Lan and Xie Danqiong finally decided to temporarily stop the attack and reorganize the internal affairs first to stabilize the morale of the army. Otherwise, if this continued, even their current loyal subordinates would be shaken …
However, at this time, Yuan Tianzhi's counterattack finally came.
This counterattack was very simple and pure, but it was also very fatal!
The counterattack was just a letter, just a letter!
A letter to Commander Mu, a letter to the world, but it was like a sharp and powerful declaration of rebellion, almost forcing Mu Cang Lan into a dead end!
"I'm very sad!"
I wanted to write a single chapter, but changed my mind and wrote it here. I'll try to be brief.
I've been very busy at home these two days. Yesterday morning, I was shopping for a ring with my wife on Valentine's Day when I received a call saying that my aunt had passed away. (They were very close, my father and my uncle have the same grandfather. I hurried home and was told to send her to the hospital for emergency treatment. At around 1: 30 in the afternoon, I received a call saying that she had passed away. At that time, I was updating the first chapter. Aunt had passed away, so I had to ask for leave. Thus, I asked for leave after the chapter … Then, before I even released it, I received news that her condition had stabilized, but she had become a vegetable …
Thus, I hurriedly edited it. Thus, everyone saw a long string of ellipses at the end of the chapter.
But now, Aunt is critically ill. I'll be answering one phone call after another. Thus, the updates these two days are very irregular …
But the specific situation … Cough, I'm also on tenterhooks right now. Actually, everyone is on tenterhooks.
Ai, I don't know what to say. Anyway … I might ask for leave these two days. But I really don't dare to confirm which day it will be … This … it's hard to say now.
