Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty

Seeing these crazy villagers, the soldiers guarding Jiang Xinghuo drew their weapons one after another, and the sound of swords being unsheathed could be heard continuously.

"How dare you defy the imperial court!"

"Protect the safety of the Imperial Master!"

Following a burst of shouts from the captains, dozens of soldiers directly surrounded Jiang Xinghuo for protection. At the same time, hundreds of soldiers held their spears and formed a neat formation, with rows of spears facing each other like a forest. Aiming at the villagers, the sharp tip of the spear shone with a cold light.

Seeing this situation, the people who were still so aggressive suddenly shuddered, and many villagers stopped in their tracks. Some of them even had their legs trembling, almost becoming unsteady in the mud. What's more, The person fell directly to the ground.

It is said that these villagers were just stirred up by members of the White Lotus Sect hidden in the crowd, but in the final analysis, the villagers were just jealous and resentful. In addition, there were indeed many believers in Urakami, so they gathered to do this. Something like this happens.

But their selfish characteristics also determine that once they face a life or death crisis, they will show a retreat attitude.

When the officers and soldiers showed off their weapons, these people knew very well that their combat effectiveness could not be compared with the elite force in front of them, especially since the opponent's gun tips were filled with murderous intent.

"Ura God is protecting us!"

Seeing that the villagers were hesitant, Wang Yihan, the leader of the White Lotus Church who appeared to be walking around Pu Shen Temple, his face darkened, and he angrily shouted: "Are you going to violate Pu Shen's decree?"

"I, we..." After being frightened by Wang Yihan, everyone suddenly became more courageous, but they still did not dare to take a step forward.

After all, this is related to your own life.

But just because no one dared to step forward, it didn't mean they didn't dare to do anything.

A dozen men who were working as assistants at Pu Shen Temple carried the heavy wooden statue of Pu Shen and placed it in front of the crowd, while they prostrated on the ground and prayed devoutly.

I saw this statue of Pu God, an ancient and majestic-looking statue, wearing a Taoist robe, with two heads and eight arms, holding various magical instruments. There were colorful auspicious clouds under the seat, solemn and ferocious.

When the statue of Ura God appeared in front of the crowd, these people seemed to have received a reassurance.

Fanaticism began to gain momentum again.

"National Master, please leave here quickly!"

The burly Zheng He quickly walked a few steps to Jiang Xinghuo and said, "These unruly people will not listen to dissuasion, I will deal with them immediately!"

This means that Zheng He is determined to protect Jiang Xinghuo, and his status is sufficient, so he wants to take the responsibility of giving orders and taking the blame.

The reason why Zheng He dared to do this was not because he thought Jiang Xinghuo would be punished for this matter and suppress the rebellious villagers. To be honest, based on Zheng He's understanding of Emperor Yongle, there might not be any punishment at all. Calculating merit based on the number of people, Zhu Di killed enough to send him to the eighteenth level of hell.

Zheng He wanted to make decisions for Jiang Xinghuo because he knew Jiang Xinghuo and felt that it would be difficult for Jiang Xinghuo to overcome the hurdle in his heart, the so-called "people-oriented" mentality.

Song Li also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Jiang Xinghuo always closing his eyes and thinking, he thought he acquiesced, or in other words, didn't want to express his stance at all. After all, according to some rules, not speaking is already an attitude.

Therefore, Song Li planned to ask these soldiers to escort Jiang Xinghuo to the rear, so as not to feel uncomfortable seeing the villagers being suppressed.

"Let General Liu prepare!"

After saying that, Zheng He took out the sword he wore on his waist and looked like he was going to kill all these rogues.

Liu Sheng also received the order. At this time, he even pushed a small bronze cannon weighing several hundred kilograms onto the river embankment and aimed it directly at the muddy ground in the awning. Naturally, these new field cannons were not carried manually by them. Instead, they were transported by small boats from Shanghai Pu Na as Zheng He led the fleet to turn around and sail from the Yangtze River. However, they were not transported much. There were only a few doors scattered on the river embankment. There were dozens of steps here. There is one placed outside, the distance is very close, and it is not difficult to maneuver.

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Xinghuo opened his eyes and stopped him when he saw this scene.

Hearing this, Zheng He frowned and said: "Master, these unruly people don't know whether to live or die, so let's just kill them!"

"Some of these people really deserve to be killed." Jiang Xinghuo sighed.

Zheng He thought he had changed his mind and agreed: "The national teacher is wise!"

However, the next second, Jiang Xinghuo's voice suddenly changed: "But not now."

Hearing Jiang Xinghuo's words, the corners of Zheng He's mouth twitched fiercely. Obviously, he did not expect Jiang Xinghuo to say such words. This was simply... too unkind to a woman.

Even Huang Ziwei, who usually cares about the people within the territory, was a little confused at this time.

The Imperial Master is too weak.

However, Jiang Xinghuo didn't care what they thought.

Jiang Xinghuo stood there and did not dodge, but calmly watched the crowd coming towards him. The pause under the gun point was destined to be temporary. Once someone instigated it, as long as a few people rushed towards him, it would be easy. Create huge inertia.

People's herd mentality is really too serious, especially when you are surrounded by heads and you can only follow the crowd and go with the flow. As long as someone can inspire or lead by example, the crowd can easily lose control.

This is why when Jiang Xinghuo faced the Imperial College Supervisor, he had to use the degrading golden broom to block him. Only by controlling the people in the first few rows and ensuring that the crowd would not get into trouble, could he have a chance to have a calm conversation. .

Unfortunately, the emotions that have reached boiling point now will be difficult to cool down, unless a large-scale bloody conflict really occurs.

Jiang Xinghuo knew very well that if he acquiesced to Zheng He's proposal, he would be able to escape unscathed with the strength of these guard soldiers. Moreover, the officers and soldiers had their own reasons for this matter, and with Zheng He and Song Li With the help of others, I will not be attacked or criticized too much in the temple.

But this will cause more casualties.

After all, there are still many weak, old, weak, women and children in the crowd.

If he chooses to leave, the army's swords and guns will fall, which will cause this team of thousands of people from all over the surrounding areas to collapse and collapse, or even fall into large-scale chaos and death.

But Jiang Xinghuo's closing his eyes and thinking rapidly just now was not without results.

He found the answer.

Science doesn't work, but superstition does.

Since the four gossipy brothers were allowed to use the Feng Shui pattern as an excuse to steer the matter towards superstition, now they have attracted a counterattack from Uragami believers.

Then Jiang Xinghuo simply carried out his superstition to the end.

Jiang Xinghuo shouted loudly at the statue of Pu Shen: "I was reincarnated into the world to relieve disasters, relieve suffering, and bring prosperity to the country and people. You are just an evil priest in the countryside, and you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me?!"

As soon as these words came out, many people looked at Jiang Xinghuo with some surprise, as if they were recalling something.

They had almost forgotten.

The Imperial Master is the Fertilizer Immortal!

Yes, as time went by after he was released from prison, statues of the Fertilizer Immortal began to be spread all over the north and south of the Yangtze River. Wherever fertilizer was sold, there were naturally figures of the Fertilizer Immortal. Bah, statues.

Jiang Xinghuo's image is originally gentle and elegant, but after beautification, it becomes more fairy-like. He is very popular among the people. Girls and daughters-in-law like to collect statues of the Fertilizer Immortal, and the jade ones are often sold out.

But when guano fertilizer began to enter thousands of households, Jiang Xinghuo often forgot that he still had such a vest.

After all, he was usually either Guoshi Jiang, Principal Jiang, or President Jiang. Very few people would call him Immortal Jiang.

That is, his cousin Jiang Xuan would sometimes tease him as "the fertilizer fairy". Few others would mention this, and Jiang Xinghuo himself had almost forgotten it.

But now, Jiang Xinghuo feels that his identity is the best weapon to deal with Pu Shen, a low-class feudal and superstitious evil god.

Aren't you superstitious?

Okay, I am the "Immortal who transforms into a human being to relieve disasters, relieve suffering, and bring prosperity to the country and the people", and I have chemical fertilizers to benefit the people. Haven't you ever used chemical fertilizers? Haven't you received any favor from me?

In this way, in terms of personality and contribution, how can a god of blisters compare to me, the Fertilizer Immortal?

——Is it worthy of you?

When Jiang Xinghuo's words were recited in unison by the belated guards, a wave of sound like ocean waves covered the eardrums of thousands of villagers.

What was more deafening than this was that a crack suddenly appeared in the villagers' inner faith.

These villagers realized that the Ura God whom they usually believed in and could be called the supreme god within a radius of a hundred miles was nothing special?

After all, the national master in front of them was reincarnated into the world to relieve disasters, relieve suffering, bring prosperity to the country and the people, and bring prosperity to the world!

No one mentioned it before, no one thought of it, but now it is mentioned. When the villagers measured the strength of the gods, they felt that a god like Ura God was nothing in front of the Fertilizer Immortal?

Don't underestimate this hesitation.

This emotion began to spread quickly among the crowd, like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.

People looked hesitantly at the statue of Ura God in the front, and then looked up at the Fertilizer Immortal in a blue shirt. They didn't know which of these two great gods they should be afraid of.

At this time, the people from the White Lotus Sect began to dance around Ura God again.

"How dare you show off your skills in front of me even though you are a minor talent?"

Jiang Xinghuo sneered and hesitated no longer.

He asked directly to Liu Sheng who rushed to his side.

"Are you sure?"

Liu Sheng clenched his fists, hammered his breastplate hard, and promised loudly.

"Reporting to Principal Jiang, at this distance, you can't even bend your eyes with your eyes closed!"

"Go!"

Jiang Xinghuo waved his hand, and Liu Sheng hurried to the awning.

There, covered by an awning, was a miniaturized field bronze cannon, the latest scientific research product of the Bureau of War.

Liu Sheng personally operated the artillery, and violent black gunpowder smoke and dust dispersed.

"boom!"

The tall statue of Ura God was instantly blown to pieces!

After the deafening noise, the villagers covering their ears were surprised to find that the statue of Ura God and several people dancing around it had turned into a pile of unrecognizable pieces of meat and sawdust.

After the silence, there was a huge fear that swept through the crowd!

They looked at the Fertilizer Immortal on the embankment and his indestructible strange magic weapon with awe.

I don't know who took the lead. The villagers knelt down in the mud and kowtowed to Jiang Xinghuo and his magic weapon in fear, begging for mercy.

"The Immortal of Chemical Fertilizer has attained enlightenment for thousands of years!"
