Chapter 849 Leading Out Tang En
Rumors are like rivers, narrow at their origin and wider and wider downstream.
The news that Xavian was captured from the north by his own people in the temple was not widely known before and was only circulated among the upper circles of Brandu City. There is no other way. As the temple's actual perpetrators in eradicating evil, the twelve holy knights of the temple enjoy a great reputation among the people. As the only woman among them, Xia Wei'an, known as the Flower of Knights, has an astonishing reputation.
Now it is suddenly decided to put him on trial and to carry out the divine punishment of fire in front of thousands of people. It is undoubtedly not feasible to simply show it off. I am afraid that by then, the judgment stand will be overturned by the angry people. In this way, if you want to proceed with the trial safely, you must first reduce Xia Wei'an's reputation to the lowest level!
So, after a certain negotiation initially broke down. Almost overnight, various rumors about Xia Wei'an began to spread...
Concealing evil intentions and shaking the stability of the temple...
Willing to fall in love with evil heretics...
The flower of a saint-like knight has actually become filthy and degenerated into a lascivious nightingale...
…
All kinds of rumors are like thunder suddenly thundering behind dark clouds, or like storms suddenly condensing on the sea level, causing an uproar in an instant.
As expected of a religious temple that relied on propaganda, it was completely familiar with this method. In just a short period of time, it spread such explosive rumors to a large area. In fact, if the public is rational, they will know at a glance that this situation, which can only occur on a large scale through careful planning and orchestration, is not normal.
But there is an old saying that goes well. Rumors spread a thousand times. That’s the truth!
Although some words are more hurtful when spoken. For example, no matter which world they are in, most people are much more ignorant than imagined. But this is probably the truth, and it is also the reason why Luo Sha paid great attention to Tang En's "big character poster" publicity plan...
When seemingly well-founded rumors ravaged the auditory and auditory nerves over and over again, people's views gradually changed, from the previous shock and disbelief to half-belief and eager discussion. Then a small number of people believed it. They felt that they had been deceived, started to get angry, and started to curse... Emotions are the most contagious, so the trend of public opinion gradually changed, leading more and more people to join in, and they started to express their admiration and admiration for the people they originally admired in their hearts. The flower of the pure knight, despised and scolded...
Of course, there is another important factor.
That is, the south is no better than the north. The believers here have not experienced the shady baptism of the northern believers during that dark period. I am still willing to believe in the full integrity of the temple, and my faith can be said to be stable. Nowadays, rumors about Xia Wei'an are rampant. The temple did not show any intention to explain, which undoubtedly made the people believe in Xia Wei'an's depravity even more.
At this point, in just a few days, the prestigious flower of knights gradually withered and withered...
…
Songhai City, Allen Manor, the grassland beside the small lake.
"No... you sneaked all the way from the capital, and you didn't hesitate to use your family connections to owe favors, just to spread rumors here?" On the wooden bench, Philip, who was dressed casually, widened his eyes and looked at the sudden appearance. The most talented disciple under his grandfather in front of him, Wen Silin, asked doubtfully, "How big a grudge do you have against Xia Wei'an?"
"Of course not, this is just the second step." Lying on the bench in a quite comfortable posture, Wen Silin looked at the large and eye-catching grassland in front of him, the surrounding clear lakes, and the looming mountains in the distance. Huayuan nodded and praised, "It's a nice manor. It seems that in just a few years, the wealth accumulated by the Yatang Business Group is comparable to that of ten generations of nobles. It is indeed well-deserved."
In addition to his status as a disciple of the Sword God, Wen Silin also came from a famous family. His family had great influence in the royal court in the capital, so he could naturally see the high value of the exquisite manor in front of him.
However, Philip's focus is obviously not on the latter. Although the Imperial Capital Flower Wolf is famous, it does not mean that Philip is a drunkard. From a certain point of view, he and Wen Silin are of the same type. They are both prominent figures among the younger generation of the big noble families in Brandu City, and they are very aware of how people like them behave. Now looking at Wen Silin suddenly appearing in front of me, I immediately feel like I'm being plotted...
Frowning slightly, "The second step...so there must be a first step and a last step?"
"Haha, there is no need to be so vigilant. After all, I am also your grandfather's disciple, and our two families have a close relationship."
"Come on, answer the questions."
Wen Silin shook his head: "Okay, it's okay to tell you. I'm here for Tang En this time. The so-called first step is naturally that you find the Josiah family and Alan, the president of the Yatang Business Group. Oh...heh, with them here, Tang En will definitely come."
"Sure enough!" Philip's face instantly darkened, "You are not welcome here, I am the highest person in charge of the arrest. If you don't want me to write a letter to Brother Haita, take your people back now and immediately. "
"Don't scare me. I think you know Tang En's true identity very well. Maybe Master and Brother Haita want me to kill him." Wen Silin looked unmoved and pointed at the distance to accompany Annika on the lake. Allen, who was walking, smiled casually and said, "I know you have a good relationship with Tang En. The operation you are responsible for this time is called arrest, but it is actually protection. No one knows except your people." The president of the Yatang Business Group colluded with the gray-clothed rebels, and he didn't know that the rebel leader's family was hiding here. Haha, your excuse is good, to please the future wife's father and mother... Look, everyone They were all successfully deceived by you."
"Fart! I meant it sincerely... Ahem..." After coughing, Phillip frowned seriously, "Are you threatening me?"
"No, everyone gets what they need." Wen Silin spread his hands and said, "I have no objection to you protecting these people, and I will even help you cover it up. Look, now I would rather attack Xia Wei'an, who is just friends with Tang En, than I didn’t use the more effective Allen and Joshua family members to make a big publicity to lure Tang En. This is enough to show my sincerity, isn’t it?”
Waving his hand, Philip was surprised: "Wait a minute. So Knight's Flower and Tang En are friends?"
Wen Silin nodded: "You don't know? That's what the master said. It shouldn't be wrong. That's why I spent so much effort to cut off Xia Wei'an halfway. Instead, a few days later, a public trial will be held in Songhai City. With the current situation With this kind of publicity, Tang En should have enough time to arrive even if he is in the north. If you take Alan to the trial site to see it, he will definitely appear... Hmm? Philip? Philip..."
Lost in despair, he murmured in a low voice, "Huh, there's no reason. I'm obviously much more handsome than him. Why did he get to Josiah and Xia Wei'an first..."
The corner of his mouth twitched. Wen Silin resisted the urge to yell. He felt that it was stupid for him to bother explaining to this flowery. He took a breath and stood up: "I have said what needs to be said, that's it. You keep him." Man, I'll wait for Tang En to come over and don't interfere with each other."
"Okay...but, I was only defeated once. Why would you put up such a big fight?" Phillip looked up from behind and asked.
"You won't understand." Wen Silin paused and squinted at Allen, who was walking from a distance. He said, "Just like the master is an invincible sword god. As a disciple, naturally I cannot embarrass him among the younger generation."
"Just tell me if you are jealous! As far as I know, my old man is not someone who is afraid of embarrassment." Curling his lips in disapproval, Phillip mercilessly revealed Wen Silin's true intentions.
"Ha, maybe." Wen Silin naturally couldn't get angry with Philip. There was a flash of light in his eyes and he said decisively, "Anyway, after this time, there will be no more Tang En in the world."
"Really?" Phillip smiled half-heartedly, "Although I am not strong enough, don't blame me for not warning you. He is a person that even the old man in my family praises highly. In comparison, you are really inferior as a disciple. "
After a pause, his sarcastic smile became even wider, "I'm curious, where did you get your confidence? Or did you find some kind of lackey or lackey?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Silin suddenly clenched his fists and his body became a little stiff. After a moment, he exhaled softly and walked away without looking back: "Don't provoke me, you will know where my confidence comes from."
"I'll see."
"snort……"
…
"Philip, this is..." Allen walked over and saw Wen Silin, who had the temperament of keeping away from strangers, leaving with an unlucky look on his face, and he couldn't help but ask.
"He is a guy who was once taught a lesson by your husband, and now he hopes to find his way back. Generally speaking, he is a boring guy, so don't worry about him..." Shaking his head, Philip put away his confident expression and frowned, " Allen, are you sure you can't contact Tang En now?"
Allen was startled when he heard this, looked at Philip with a solemn expression on his face, and shook his head slightly: "Sir, he is worried that my identity will be exposed, so all this time, unless I go to the north to find him face to face, he only occasionally sends people to deliver letters, and there are no others. Any contact.”
This is a fact. After spending a few days together, Allen had some guesses about this uninvited and familiar friend - Philip. He really doesn't seem to have any ill intentions...
This is well-founded. At first, Allen thought that the other party would take him and the members of the Josiah family to Brandu City, and if things went wrong, they would send him to the city's prison. As Tang En's friend, I don't expect him to be merciful, as long as he doesn't use severe torture to extract confessions. But the result is that since the call, the other party has been staying here and not leaving. In the past two days, he went to a secret place on time to greet the elder Josiah. Recently, he seems to have hooked up with the young daughter of a wealthy businessman who lives in a nearby manor... ...which made Annika a little confused, and asked herself vaguely if this was a poor relative from the past...
"That will be troublesome." Philip suddenly frowned when he heard this, "Based on my understanding of Tang En, he will definitely come to save you. I originally planned to stay here for a few days to relax, and wait for him to come over and have a drink together. Let’s get together and part ways...but now, the situation is a bit out of control.”
Allen was not a fool. Hearing this, he looked at Wen Silin who was about to disappear into the distance and raised his eyebrows: "Because of him?"
"Yes." Philip nodded feebly, "He is my old man, who is also a close disciple of the Sword God. He has no need to say his talent, but he is just a little too narrow-minded. Since he is determined to trouble Tang En this time, he must be a master. Quite a few. Alas, this matter has become a big deal..."
