"Assist the Empress in unifying the Holy Religion!"
When Xu Zheng said this, his expression was solemn and solemn, as if he was taking an oath.
Li Yi nodded. Comrade Xu Zheng was a good comrade, worthy of being put in an important position. After liberation … No, after unification, he should be promoted. At the very least, he should be given a position as an emissary.
Unifying such a large Holy Religion seemed as difficult as ascending to heaven, but it was actually very simple.
Taoist Nun was the only obstacle. As long as she was removed, the whole Holy Religion would be at their fingertips.
They were the ones who spread the news that Ruoqing was the Empress of Heaven. Now, all the disciples knew that there were two Empresses in the Holy Religion. One of them was actually not the Empress of Heaven. There was only one Empress of Heaven. The previous matter was just a joke that the Empress of Heaven was playing with them …
This was a contradiction, a slap to their own faces.
A monarch must not joke, and the Empress must not joke. If she violated this rule, the Empress would lose her credibility, and the huge force they had painstakingly built would collapse.
This was not what Li Yi wanted to see, nor was it what Taoist Nun wanted to see.
Therefore, the big goal of unifying the Holy Religion could be replaced by a small goal.
Getting rid of that Taoist Nun — Xu, who had recently gained some enlightenment, was very willing to do this.
The only problem was that Taoist Nun was far away in the Qi Kingdom, so it was not convenient to do it. However, there was no need to be anxious. Li Yi believed that they would meet again one day.
He even had a premonition that he and the King of Shu would meet soon.
… …
Deep in the Land of Bedlam, on a certain mountain.
"Li Yi, Li Yi!"
"Are you sent by the heavens to oppose I?"
"This hatred, this hatred, I and you are absolutely irreconcilable!"
… …
Several people were standing guard outside the door. When they heard the sounds of dishes shattering and the man's roar coming from inside the house, they all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Inside the room, the King of Shu's eyes were bloodshot. He smashed all the bowls and plates on the table into smithereens. In the end, he even overturned the table and chairs, waving his fists and legs at the air as if he had gone mad.
The throne that was in his hands had flown away, his fief was gone, and now even his manor had been stolen by him. Just what kind of enmity did he have with that Li Yi for him to treat him like this? When he had just arrived in the capital, he had even treated him to a meal!
When Fang Yu stepped into the room, the first thing he smelled was the pungent smell of alcohol. He frowned slightly and waved his sleeves. Only then did he feel that the smell had dissipated quite a bit.
The King of Shu walked over quickly and said, "Ambassador Fang, you're here. Drink with I …"
Fang Yu looked at him and said indifferently, "That Li Yi took over Shu Prefecture and your Wang Mansion. Don't you want revenge?"
"Pfft …"
The King of Shu spat out all the alcohol in his mouth and said with red eyes, "Why not? I think about it day and night, even in my dreams. If I don't take revenge, I'm not a man!"
Fang Yu looked at him and said slowly, "That's why I'm here."
"You have a way to get rid of him?"
When the King of Shu heard this, he immediately sobered up. He looked at him and asked with burning eyes.
Fang Yu looked at him and said, "Shu Prefecture used to be your territory. You've stayed in Yong County for so long. You should know how strong the defense of Yong County is. With the protection of the Gyeong Of Silla and Li Yi, it's not enough to stop us."
The King of Shu was shocked. "You want to attack Shu Prefecture by force!"
Fang Yu shook his head and said, "It's just Yong County."
The King of Shu frowned and said, "Although we can indeed shake Yong County if we work together, do you know how many people we'll lose?"
Fang Yu nodded and said, "That's why we can't just rely on us."
The King of Shu thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "You mean, those people, those baldies?"
The 'baldies' he mentioned were the rising stars of the Fringe. Of course, although he had been in the Fringe for a shorter period of time than them, the Holy Church had been rooted in the Fringe for more than a decade.
In just two years, those people had swept away all the bandits in a radius of dozens of miles. Now, even the forces of the Holy Religion in the Fringe were no match for them.
Of course, it wasn't that their strength was completely useless to them.
At least, due to their influence, many small groups of bandits had joined them in the past two years. This had indirectly strengthened the Fringe's strength.
In the Fringe, it was normal for there to be friction between the major forces. After several confrontations, they had won some and lost some, so they had formed quite a grudge with each other.
Fang Yu nodded and said, "They have developed rapidly in the past two years. Now, their strength is even greater than ours. If they are willing to help us, it won't take much effort to take down a mere Yong County."
"But why do they want to help us?"
"That depends on what they want. Silver or men … We'll give them whatever they want."
… …
The King of Shu pondered for a moment and his eyes began to shine brighter and brighter.
Although those baldies were detestable, they couldn't be compared to Li Yi. As long as they were willing to cooperate with him, he didn't mind giving them some silver and men.
Moreover, the Holy Religion still had many believers in Shu Prefecture. When the time came, wouldn't that Li Yi fall into his hands?
At that time, he would definitely make him beg for death but be unable to do so!
Fang Yu's eyes flickered and he said slowly, "This matter can't be rushed. Send someone to negotiate with them first and see what they will offer …"
The King of Shu nodded vigorously and said, "I'll send someone right away!"
The two talked in secret for a while more before Fang Yu walked out of the room.
A man in purple followed behind him. After walking for a long distance, the man asked, "Won't working with this idiot spoil the plan?"
"It doesn't matter," Fang Yu said, shaking his head. "He's very familiar with Yong County. Perhaps he'll be of great use when the time comes. However, the most important thing is those people …. Go there and negotiate with them."
The man in purple nodded and said, "I understand …"
Fang Yu looked up at the layers of mountains, and a trace of darkness appeared between his brows.
There was still no news of what had happened to the believers in Shu Zhou. Even the people he had sent were like stones sinking into the sea, there was no news at all …
Was this Li Yi's doing again?
… …
Wang Wei sat in his room and habitually rubbed his bald head. He looked at a similarly bald woman bustling about in the room, serving tea and a sense of pride welled up in his heart.
When he decided to shave his head and come out to roam the world, he swore in his heart that if he didn't make a name for himself, he wouldn't go back to see her …
Along the way, he stumbled his way to where he was today. He had thousands of subordinates under his command, and the tigress had become a docile little tiger. He had achieved his original dream and even surpassed it.
He became bald, but he also became stronger.
His head had become the most conspicuous symbol on his body. There were even countless people who followed his example and shaved their heads. The bald heads formed a beautiful scenery in the Fringe. Countless merchants were moved to tears, and countless bandits turned pale at the sight of a bald head.
Although he had come this far in a short two years, he couldn't be arrogant.
So far, they had only achieved a little and occupied a small piece of land in the Fringe. Their ultimate goal was to unify the Fringe, occupy all the mountains, establish a new order, and transform the Fringe into a new world.
He still had to carry out the guiding ideology of 'To get rich, build roads first, have more children, and plant more trees'. He also had to rob more bandits and recruit more people. He couldn't let His Highness down, and he definitely couldn't let Big Sis down.
Big Sis had given him a chance to realize his value. He wanted to help Big Sis become the king of bandits.
Now, they still had a long way to go before they could achieve their ultimate goal.
At this moment, a young bald man knocked on the door and walked in. He looked at Wang Wei with reverence and said, "Big Brother, there are two people outside who want to see you."
Wang Wei scratched his head and said, "Let them in."
