10. False and True Daughter
After listening to the minister’s words, Lin Xiaotang was stunned, and she never thought that things would turn out like this.
And thousands of miles away, Liu Pang and others who fled in a hurry, their hearts are more stunned than Lin Xiaotang.
Among them, the most perplexed is the fourth prince Liu Pang.
“How could this be?” He kept muttering, “Shouldn’t…they should listen to us!?”
As a prince, he had been in the palace for more than ten years and knew a lot about politics. .
In his memory, every once in a while, after a natural disaster occurred in the country, his father emperor would send troops to the disaster area to suppress the violent people.
Most of the previous civil uprisings occurred under such circumstances.
Therefore, he and his subordinates made such a plan.
He did not expect that those ignorant people would not listen to the rumors they spread!
Not only did they not listen, but these people were furious and beat up those who spread rumors!
“What the hell are you angry about? What nonsense are you talking about!”
“Liu’s group of dog emperors have done us so much harm, and we have finally had a better life, why are they coming back?”
“If that’s the case, then this god*** what else is worthy of our belief?”
“Bah! If you are willing to support Liu, then support yourself, don’t get involved with us!” The people are a very special existence.
They are really stupid sometimes and tend to follow the masses blindly, but at many critical moments, they will become extremely rational.
As beneficiaries of Lin Xiaotang’s policies, they know better than anyone how much their lives have changed.
Clothes, food, shelter and transportation are commonplace, let’s not mention them for the time being.
Six months ago, under several orders from Lin Xiaotang, buildings called “Reading Book Building” were built in many areas.
There are thousands of books in the reading building. No matter how poor people are, they can read books for a whole day in it as long as they hand over two coins.
In addition, she also vigorously promoted a new type of school.
Although the school only accepts children of a few years old, and the content taught is only some enlightenment knowledge, the existence of this school undoubtedly gives many commoner families the hope of crossing the class.
Everything is inferior, only reading is high. Sometimes, what these people long for is such an opportunity to climb up.
This opportunity is even more important than what to eat and wear.
Lin Xiaotang sent a lot of reading opportunities to them, how could they not be grateful?
If it really goes back to the front, it will be completely over!
“There’s something wrong with these people, arrest them!” In the crowd, a big man suddenly shouted loudly.
After hearing this, the other people immediately reacted: “Yes, yes, arrest them all!”
In any case, don’t let them have the opportunity to make trouble!
The astute people rushed up and surrounded the few people Liu Pang sent out at that time.
They were numerous and powerful, and they quickly subdued the remnants of the previous dynasty.
There are some people who hate the former, and will “accidentally” kick them or give them a punch.
But when the officials heard the news and rushed over in a hurry, these few people who were walking the rumors had all collapsed to the ground and lost any ability to resist.
Seeing this, Liu Pang and others could only evacuate from here before the outside world found them.
It’s not good to be a teacher, and everyone’s heart is heavy.
“This time, we miscalculated and underestimated the influence of the so-called ‘Tanghua Goddess’.” Feeling everyone’s depression, Ye Sasa gritted her teeth and said bitterly, “Next time, we will definitely succeed!”
As early as a few months ago, Ye Sasa took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people around him, collected a fortune, and sneaked out of Ye Mansion.
In order to be the future queen, in order to give a good look to the Ye family and Lin Xiaotang who abandoned her, she resolutely joined the restoration team.
In Ye Sasa’s view, with her joining, Liu Pang and the others could not fail at all.
They failed at first, but because they were careless.
As long as they get serious, Lin Xiaotang is definitely not their opponent!
“That’s right.”
After hearing Ye Sasa’s words, everyone else cheered up.
“We underestimated the stupidity of these peddlers, and didn’t expect them to be bewitched by a woman.”
“Who would have thought they would be so superstitious and believe in a false god made up?”
“This plan goes away. If it doesn’t work, then we’ll change a plan!”
With the information provided by Ye Sasa, they made persistent efforts and made several troubles.
For example, pretending to be a Taoist priest who can predict the future, gathering believers everywhere, or looting a village and trying to develop into a stockade.
However, contrary to their expectations, no matter what they do, they will always be inexplicably defeated by the people and the government.
What made them even more embarrassed was that, in the face of the various favorable conditions they offered, except for a very few idiots who wanted to be promoted to the ranks and wanted to go crazy, not many people were moved.
Their ordinary lives are living well, so why should they follow these rebels for the sake of their illusory glory and wealth?
If you are not careful, you will lose your head!
“Sasha, what should I do?”
Faced with this situation, Liu Pang asked worriedly.
If the rebellion is to be successful, it is absolutely impossible to rely on only a dozen of them.
They have to recruit troops, expand their manpower, try their best to fool those civilians and join their ranks.
Therefore, once these civilians don’t buy it, they are completely useless.
The plan to restore the country also suddenly fell into a deadlock.
“You are the prince, who is going to be the emperor in the future, how can you ask me what to do?” Ye Sasa said impatiently, “Why don’t you think of a way yourself?”
Like Liu Pang, Ye Sasa, of course, also will be troubled.
She bet all her wealth on Liu Pang, who would have thought that he was such a waste? !
Ye Sasa recalled the various experiences during this time, and was already a little regretful.
It’s a pity that this kind of thing is not something she doesn’t want to do, so she can quit it.
On this pirate ship, she could only bite the bullet and go down.
“SaSa, don’t say that to me…”
Liu Pang felt a little angry and a little dazed at Ye Sasa’s accusation.
He knew very well that Ye Sasa was right, and he shouldn’t have asked her about everything.
However, if he really wanted to find a way by himself, he couldn’t do it at all.
As early as seven or eight years ago, he was accustomed to relying on Ye Sasa’s predictive ability and relying on her to give him advice, so that he could avoid the conspiracy of other brothers.
Growing up in such a greenhouse, Liu Pang’s character has long since been softened without any tempering or setbacks.
After the country was destroyed, Liu Pang became addicted to drinking, relying on alcohol to numb himself and escape reality.
In the past few months, how much can his personality change?
Ye Sasa is counting on him to restore the country, but Liu Pang is also counting on Ye Sasa to solve everything for him and let him sit on the throne naturally.
In this way, over time, Ye Sasa and Liu Pang became tired of seeing each other, and the two no longer had the warmth and harmony they had at the beginning.
Under the successive blows of Lin Xiaotang’s officials, the restoration team of Liu Pang and others became more and more passive.
But after two months, one of Liu Pang’s subordinates saw that there was no hope of restoration, and finally couldn’t bear it any longer, and found an opportunity to report quietly to the official.
He revealed their identities, origins, and specific hiding places.
This person’s betrayal came so suddenly, it caught everyone off guard.
Before they could even pack their things, they were caught by the officials.
Fortunately, Liu Pang and Ye Sasha had considered this situation before.
Aware that the situation was not right, they made a decisive decision, quickly dropped the others, and quietly escaped from the secret passage they had prepared in private.
It’s just that staying in a place with people is not very safe after all.
In order to escape the investigation, Ye Sasa and Liu Pang gritted their teeth and decided to run towards the old forest in the deep mountains.
I don’t know if they were lucky, they were not found by the officials on the way to flee in a hurry.
After going up the mountain, they did not encounter any beasts or reptiles and poisonous snakes.
Before dark, they even found an abandoned temple in such a remote mountain!
The location of the temple is quite remote, it is hidden behind a huge tree, and half of the walls are overgrown with weeds and shrubs.
Ye Sasa and Liu Pang wouldn’t have been able to find it if it wasn’t for the sound of birds chirping inside.
“Should we go in for a night?” Liu Pang was overjoyed when he saw the temple, “This place is very remote, and they probably won’t be able to find it here.”
Although this temple is broken, it is still a house.
It is definitely better to stay in a temple than to sleep in the wind.
After listening to Liu Pang’s words, Ye Sasa nodded tiredly.
She had been running around for several hours in a row, and she was still worried. She was too tired to speak, and just wanted to find a place to rest.
Seeing that Ye Sasa agreed, Liu Pang took her with him and walked over carefully.
However, as they entered the temple, the sky outside suddenly darkened.
The surrounding air gradually cooled, bringing a lingering chill.
– Night falls.
When Ye Sasa walked into the temple, she thought she would encounter a lot of dust.
But to her surprise, the ground here is quite clean, and the layout of the temple is also very neat, as if someone came over to clean it.
In the middle of the temple, there is a strange-looking Buddha statue.
It sat on the stage, with low eyebrows pleasing to the eye, and an expression like crying and laughing.
Its eyes were aimed at the entrance of the temple, as if it was hostile to something. At first glance, there was an indescribable evil feeling.
After seeing the Buddha statue, Ye Sasha was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart.
But soon, she put this strangeness behind her.
Rather than exploring the abnormality of this temple, she would rather have a good rest.
She is really tired.
Moreover, it is more tormenting than physical exhaustion and psychological pain.
Ye Sasa has never regretted so much, regretting that he was obsessed, and followed Liu Pang to rebel.
Although the Ye family treated her badly, she was Lin Xiaotang’s own daughter after all. No matter how much the Ye family hated her, they would not dare to do anything to her.
Her future will not be rich and noble, but under the control of the Ye family, she can spend the rest of her life in peace and security.
As a result, now, because of Liu Pang, she has become a fugitive…
Obviously she has come back for a lifetime, why is she still getting worse and worse?
Thinking of this, Ye Sasha felt extremely uncomfortable.
She even faintly wondered if she really did something wrong.
Especially, in the eyes of Lin Xiaotang and Lin Yiyi, she may just be a clown jumping on the beam.
The things she has done with all her efforts and painstaking efforts may not have been taken seriously by them at all.
If, after the rebirth, she did not attack Lin Xiaotang and Lin Yiyi, but chose to tell the Ye family the truth and be nice to Lin Yiyi to make up for Lin Yiyi.
She won’t end up like this, right?
Ye Sasa didn’t dare to think about it anymore.
She could only take a deep breath and try her best to deceive herself, saying that she was not at fault, but that it was everyone else’s fault.
In this way, she can get a moment of comfort and reluctantly continue to walk.
Didn’t stay with Liu Pang and didn’t bother to take care of Liu Pang, Ye Sasa found a corner in the temple and hurriedly lay down.
It’s getting late, she has to go to sleep quickly and replenish some energy before she can continue to escape tomorrow.
In such a quiet and quiet environment, it didn’t take long for Ye Sasa to feel a rush of sleepiness.
She closed her eyes and let her consciousness become blurred and gradually sink.
However, just when she was half asleep, Ye Sasa suddenly heard a hoarse cough from an old man outside!
“Cough…cough…”
Although this voice was very light, it was especially obvious in the quiet night.
And along with the old man’s cough, there was Liu Pang’s slight trembling voice –
“Sasha…here, there are ghosts…”
