Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 388 Chen Jie: King Han Fa, I’m here to take you in!
The plan was made, and next, Chen Jie immediately arranged the action.

The key to this operation is how to delay Du Zundao. As long as Du Zundao does not move, Han Miao alone cannot cause much trouble.

Under Chen Jie's arrangement, the two groups took action. One group took Du Xiong and went to Guixu to look for Du Zundao, while the other group went to Liu Mansion to rescue Liu Futong.

At this time, Liu Mansion!
There was not even a kerosene lamp in the dark room, and the windows all around had been sealed shut with wood, not allowing any light to come in.

Four thick iron chains extended from the four corners of the room, two of which were tied to Liu Futong's feet.

There were huge iron hooks on the two chains, which hooked Liu Futong's scapula, thus completely removing the strength from his body and making him unable to break free from the chains in front of him.

There was no decoration in the house. All the cabinets and beds were moved out. The ground was covered with hay. Liu Futong sat there with his eyes closed.

But he was listening to the noise outside. His face showed no emotion, but you could see that his brows were furrowed.

At this time, his face was full of sorrow, his clothes were torn and tattered, with undried blood stains, and he looked dishevelled. There was no trace of the heroic spirit of the former top boss on the Heavenly Ranking.

I guess if people see him now, no one would believe that he is the big man who was once admired by the whole world, Liu Futong, the Master of Yushan who was ranked seventh on the Heavenly List.

This is a tiger in trouble.

Liu Futong closed his eyes. Du Zundao's cronies were standing outside to guard him. There was not even a fly in the entire room. Du Zundao intended to use this complete darkness to drive Liu Futong insane.

After all, this kind of torture in a small dark room would easily make someone collapse unless they were mentally strong.

Liu Futong was like a stink bug in the dark. From being one of the three Zoroastrian gods revered by everyone to being a prisoner, most people would have been unable to bear the shouting and screaming, but Liu Futong never said a word from beginning to end.

He has seen darkness, so naturally he is not afraid of it.

At this moment, two guards outside said, "Your Majesty."

"Open the door."

"Yes."

creak...

The door was pushed open, and Han Miaozhen walked in with a kerosene lamp, followed by a servant with a food box in his hand.

stomping on...

Han Miaozhen walked a few steps to Liu Futong, and looked down at the man whom she once had to look up to. There was a hint of loss, a hint of relief, and a hint of pride in her eyes.

Liu Futong heard the noise, slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Han Miaozhen and said, "You're here."

Han Miaozhen said: "I came to see the Venerable. I wonder if the Venerable has figured it out. As long as the Venerable is willing to come out and depose and enthrone, I will protect the Venerable's life."

Han Miaozhen and Du Zundao trapped Liu Futong here, and even tortured his will by "locking him up in a small dark room". What was their purpose? It was to make Liu Futong bow his head.

What is Du Zundao’s core purpose? That’s right, it is to become a leader.

There are three ways to become the leader. The first is to seize the throne by force, such as killing Liu Futong, Han Linger and all the related people, and finally become the leader yourself, but the side effects are extremely huge.

Since ancient times, those who came to power by unjust means would suffer disasters, and the Zoroastrians would not submit to a person who came to power by bloody means, so even if he succeeded, the Zoroastrianism he obtained would not be the Zoroastrianism that Du Zundao wanted.

In addition to this method, the second method is like the method that Du Zundao is using now, which is to seize the fact that Little Ming King does not know the Great Law of Qiankun, and use the religious rule that only those who know the Great Law of Qiankun can be the leader.

The advantage of using this point to forcibly replace the young Ming King is that the rebellious intention of the first type is not so obvious.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, although it can save face, everyone actually has their own opinions in their hearts, and your Qiankun Dafa is just a fig leaf.

In addition to the above two options, there is a third option, which is to let Master Yushan, one of the three most prestigious surviving Zoroastrians, personally dismiss the Little Ming King and then recognize Du Zundao's legitimate successor status.

Then Du Zundao's identity would be secure. You must know that when Han Shantong died in the battle, the entire Zoroastrianism was in a state of disintegration. The reason why the Holy Church could still exist was because there was still a Master Yushan supporting it.

In fact, after Han Shantong's death, Yushan Shangren became the spiritual leader of Zoroastrianism, and everyone actually regarded him as the leader in their hearts.

If Liu Futong had raised the banner and succeeded to the throne as the leader of the sect, the Zoroastrianism would not have encountered all the troubles it has now.

Du Zundao did not dare to have any second thoughts, but Liu Futong insisted on supporting a teenager to be the leader. How could he subdue the arrogant and powerful uncles and grandfathers under his command?
As time goes by, you will naturally develop second thoughts.

But precisely because of this, Liu Futong's identity became prominent. He was the one who established the Little Ming King, so the one who could depose the Little Ming King was naturally Liu Futong. Liu Futong was born with this right.

So at this time Liu Futong said, I think the young Ming King is no longer capable of continuing to serve as the leader, and I recommend Du Zundao to take over the position of leader.

Then Du Zundao would be the heir apparent, and then he could obtain the Qiankun Dafa.

Then he is definitely the perfect candidate for the position of leader. Whether in terms of strength, religious rules, or legitimacy, he is impeccable and a perfect successor.

Therefore, Du Zundao and Han Miaozhen dreamed of making Liu Futong surrender, letting Liu Futong personally depose and enthrone the emperor, and pulling the Little Ming King down from the position of leader.

But is it possible?
It's impossible. Who is Liu Futong? He is one of the three Zoroastrians. To put it bluntly, the Zoroastrianism can have the power it has today because of the three Zoroastrians who fought for it with their lives.

Before the Three Masters, the Zoroastrianism was just a first-rate force, similar to the six major sects. But after the Three Masters, it became a top-notch sect. One sect could single-handedly challenge the combined attack of the six major sects. Of course, there was a prerequisite: that is, Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang did not take action.

The three masters all had their own pride. They could not bend with might or be moved by poverty or humbleness. They really thought that locking Liu Futong in a small dark room could make him surrender. That was wishful thinking.

but?
Sometimes people still need to have some wishful thinking. This is what Han Miaozhen thought. What if her wishful thinking succeeds?
Thinking about this, she looked at Liu Futong and said, "Your Excellency, it's been so many days, why can't you figure it out? Han Lin'er is a good kid, but he is just a kid, it's hard for him to convince the crowd. Our Holy Church now needs a leader with an iron fist, and this leader is only Du Zundao, King Du Fa, who is the most suitable. Why don't you think about the Holy Church?"

"Is it for the Holy Church or for you?"

Liu Futong looked at Han Miaozhen, and Han Miaozhen said, "Okay, even if you think about us, aren't we part of the Holy Church?"

"How dare you, a traitor, call yourself a disciple of my Holy Church? Remember the first thing I taught you was loyalty and righteousness!"

Liu Futong said in a cold voice.

"Your Excellency, what you said is serious. Who is the traitor? We are all dedicated to the good of the Holy Church, and even if we are not there, there will be others. This is what you must face. Han Lin'er is too young and has no great achievements. If he inherits the position of the leader, go down and see how many people are convinced."

"Everyone just didn't tell you. In fact, this matter is your fault. If you had directly succeeded the position of leader, there would not be these things today."

"Now the Holy Church is falling apart and everyone is alienated. Venerable, have you never thought about your mistakes?"

After hearing this, Liu Futong fell silent, looked at Han Miaozhen and said, "You are just making excuses. If you didn't have any intention of compromising, how could you rebel just because I supported the young master to take the throne? What's the point of you saying these things now?"

Han Miaozhen said: "Your Excellency, if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Who in this world does not have some evil thoughts? I have, King Du Fa has, and you actually have too."

"You were wrong in that you shouldn't have allowed us to have any evil thoughts."

"If you had become the leader directly, I, King Du Fa, and King Guan Fa would have been your good subordinates. Han Lin'er and his sister would have thrived under your protection, and we would have been their good uncles and aunts."

"But you, you gave us the opportunity to make the decision, so we can't be blamed. You are the culprit for the current situation."

Han Miaozhen said this and slowly sat down in front of Liu Futong: "As an elder, since you have aroused the fighting spirit of us juniors, you should help us juniors to settle this matter."

"In fact, you should have heard it here. The imperial court down the mountain has begun to attack. I just received a report from the front line. The imperial court has dispatched 60,000 troops. In addition, many of your old friends have also come, such as the leader of the Baoxiang Army, Boluo Timur, the Prince of Qi, Li Siqi, and the Prince of Ruyang, Chagan Timur."

"There are three Heavenly Ranking masters, and only Mr. Guan is resisting on the front line. It's only a matter of time before they are defeated."

Ah!
Liu Futong's face darkened and he asked, "Where is Du Zundao? What is he doing? Did he desert the battlefield?"

Han Miaozhen said: "No, no, King Du Fa is in Guixu. He should have obtained the Qiankun Dafa. In fact, with the Qiankun Dafa, he can become the leader and does not need your consent."

Liu Futong didn't say anything. Han Miaozhen said, "But our King Du still has the Holy Church in his heart. If he becomes the leader of the Church with the Great Law of Heaven and Earth, I'm afraid there will be some people who are loyal to you who are dissatisfied. Then he will definitely be unable to sleep or eat. At that time, he will inevitably eliminate dissidents, which will greatly weaken the power of the Church. Isn't it a matter of pain for the relatives and joy for the enemies?"

"So, in order to prevent our Zoroastrianism from killing each other, I suggest that the Dharma King ask you to come forward and abolish the little Ming King. The child is too young to handle the heavy responsibility. Now he is forcing himself to support him. Isn't this also suffering? Why not help him unload the heavy responsibility? This way, the child will have a better development, right?"

Han Miaozhen watched Liu Futong patiently persuade her.

Liu Futong looked at Han Miaozhen and said, "You have evil intentions and are not up to the task."

Han Miaozhen said: "Venerable, at this time, why are you still so prejudiced? You don't have much time left. If you agree with the Dharma King, you can tell him that when we evacuate Guangmingding, you will protect the little Ming King."

"But if you don't agree, Your Excellency."

"What do you want?"

Han Miaozhen said: "The people in the court are extremely fierce. The young Ming King died in the battle at Guangmingding, sacrificing his life for the Holy Religion."

"Okay, okay, hahahaha...you guys are really cruel and ruthless!"

Liu Futong was so angry that he laughed. Han Miaozhen's face was not very good at this time. He said coldly: "Your Excellency, please tell me the truth, Han Liner, do you want to live or die?"

Liu Futong looked at Han Miaozhen and said, "If you really want to do this, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Han Miaozhen said: "Retribution, who can come to punish us? As long as the Venerable nods, everything will be fine."

Liu Futong sneered, "Don't forget, I am not the only one who is considered a patriarch of the Holy Religion. There is also the Laughing Buddha and the Dragon King!"

"Aren't you afraid that they will find out the truth and cause trouble to you, or have you become so inflated that you feel that the Laughing Buddha and the Dragon King can't do anything to you?" Liu Futong brought out two great gods.

Han Miaozhen laughed at this time and said, "Laughing Buddha Peng Yingyu founded the Maitreya religion, and now he has established an emperor and founded a country. How can he have the time to care about the affairs of our Zoroastrianism?"

"As for the Dragon King, he also claimed to be the king overseas and founded the Divine Dragon Sect. He doesn't even take our Holy Sect seriously. How could they dare to wade into this muddy water again? Didn't our friendship be settled after the battle back then?"

The battle mentioned by Han Miaozhen refers to the battle between Laughing Buddha and Han Shantong. The two discussed the Dharma on the top of Kunlun Mountain, but in the end they had different philosophies and could not work together. It was also in that battle that Laughing Buddha left alone. Fang Guozhen, the Dragon King who entered the sea, also felt that this holy religion was not the holy religion he knew, so he left the Zoroastrianism with the then Tiger Elder Lei Ming.

He went out to sea and established the Shenlong Sect on an island, becoming a dominant sect in his own right.

Now the two forces are developing in full swing, so they have no time to care about such trivial matters as Zoroastrianism.

When Han Miaozhen talked about the past, Liu Futong remained silent, and only said: "No matter how ruthless you are, you still have to take care of the orphans of the Ming King."

Han Miaozhen said: "Perhaps what the Venerable said is true, but now is not the time to care about these things, what do you think?"

Liu Futong looked at her and said, "You two are really going down the same path. Xiao Han, you can say that I watched you grow up. At that time, you followed Lao Peng, always chattering and innocent. I knew you were a good girl at that time, but when did you become like this? You became someone I dare not recognize."

Han Miaozhen lowered her head after hearing this and was silent for a long time: "People always change. I thought that as long as I followed Lao Peng, my life would be fine. But when Lao Peng left Zoroastrianism, didn't he take me with him?"

"So, you can't rely on anyone else. If you want to succeed, you can only rely on yourself. Isn't it what you wanted me to become in the first place?"

Han Miaozhen still feels aggrieved when she talks about it now.

Liu Futong sighed when he heard this: "Ah... this matter, actually..."

"Okay, I know that I was too young at the beginning, and it was inconvenient for Lao Peng to take care of me, so he kept me. Later, even more resources in the sect were tilted towards me, including my position as the Dharma King at that time. I know that many of you did it for Lao Peng's sake, but... so what?"

“Have you ever asked me what I think?”

Han Miaozhen stopped talking here, closed her eyes and took a rest, then opened her eyes and said, "So, Your Excellency, have you made your choice?"

Seeing Han Miaozhen like this, Liu Futong smiled and did not answer. Instead, he looked at the food box and asked, "What delicious food did you bring?"

Han Miaozhen heard Liu Futong's words and saw his expression. She knew that Liu Futong was ready to give up. Then Han Miaozhen sighed and said, "Your Excellency, why are you doing this? You should know what the consequences will be if our conversation ends like this, right?"

Liu Futong laughed and said, "Since Du Zundao is going to attack the young Ming King, he will certainly not let me go. This should be my last meal before execution. Once I'm full, you can send me off."

Liu Futong is not a fool. Although his political talent is not high, he also knows that if he does not cooperate, the impact will be endless.

If he refused, it would mean that he was standing on the opposite side of Du Zundao, and in politics, anyone standing on the opposite side would be overthrown, especially since they also wanted the Little Ming King.

They must know that Xiao Ming Wang is their bottom line, but they still decided to kill Xiao Ming Wang, which means they are ready to kill him too!
In that case, what else is there to say?

There is only one death.

Liu Futong looked at Han Miaozhen and said, "There should be a bar for this last meal. Come and have a drink with me."

As Han Miaozhen spoke, she opened the food box. Inside the food box was a roast chicken and a pot of wine.

"I know you like roast chicken, so I prepared it specially for you."

Han Miaozhen said to Liu Futong, and Liu Futong said, "That's thoughtful. Pour the wine, drink this cup, and send me off."

Han Miaozhen picked up the wine pot and said, "Your Excellency, please don't think about it. After all, if you lose your life, you will lose everything."

Liu Futong laughed and said, "My life is saved, but I have nothing left."

Han Miaozhen understood what Liu Futong said, and Liu Futong also understood what Han Miaozhen said. At this time, Liu Futong said, "Excuse me, these hands can't move, feed me a bite."

Han Miaozhen was silent for a moment and said, "Why bother?"

Liu Futong said: "Everyone has to live for something in this life. I live for these two words: loyalty and righteousness."

Han Miaozhen said: "Okay, then I won't advise you, and don't blame me."

Liu Futong said: "Don't worry, it's not your fault."

Han Miaozhen raised the wine glass and was about to feed it to Liu Futong when she suddenly heard a scream from outside.

"what……"

Ah!
Hearing the scream, Han Miaozhen was stunned, her eyes frowned, then she looked at the wine glass in Liu Futong's hand, put the glass down and rushed out of the house.

what's the situation.

At this time, the door of Liu's mansion was kicked open by someone, and then two people walked in together.

stomping on...

At this time, he strode in directly from the gate. The guards in the yard wanted to take action, but suddenly a figure rushed out from the side. Then everyone felt a pink ball in front of their eyes, and the next moment everyone lost consciousness.

Fell to the ground.

"Hi, Sister Han."

After defeating these people, the pink figure stopped, waved at Han Miaozhen with a sweet smile on his face.

"Bunny."

Han Miaozhen looked at Mei Tu with a cold expression, murderous intent in her brows.

At this time, the man at the gate also walked in, and then he politely clasped his fists and said, "King Han Fa."

Han Miaozhen looked at him, her expression even uglier: "Chen Long!"

"Why are you here?"

After the initial surprise, Han Miaozhen asked for a long time. After hearing this, Meitu laughed and said, "Do you miss Sister Han? Come and see Sister Han."

Han Miaozhen still didn't know what kind of person Mei Tu was. She simply ignored her words and looked at Chen Long.

Although Chen Long is slick, you can still hear a word or two of truth at critical moments.

Chen Long still had a big smile on his face as he said, "The two of us came here today to ask the Dharma King to release His Holiness."

Han Miaozhen frowned and said, "You didn't take the wrong medicine, did you? If you release the Venerable, will you get any good results? Or do you have some kind of last resort? Where is King Dufa?"

"Haha, King Dufa, your King Dufa should still be guarding Guixu now."

After hearing Han Miaozhen's words, a voice was heard. Han Miaozhen looked in the direction of the voice, and then saw a person sitting on the wall with an apple in his hand. He took a bite and started chewing it with big mouthfuls.

Han Miaozhen's face changed; "Chen Jiusi!"

The man eating the apple turned around and looked at Han Miaozhen and said with a smile: "Haha, King Han, long time no see."

Han Miaozhen said: "They, they are the ones who did this?"

Chen Jie said, "What do you mean I did it? Elder Chenlong and Elder Meitu have turned from evil to good. They feel that there is no future for them following you and Du Zundao, so they have turned from evil to good and have returned to the order of Little Ming King. Now they are following the order of Ming King to rescue the trapped Master Yushan. So please don't be so ignorant and hand over Master Yushan obediently, so that we don't have to take action. Your life and death will not be in your hands."

"You actually joined Han Lin'er again?"

Han Miaozhen was in disbelief. Not to mention him, in fact, Chen Long and Mei Tu didn't expect Chen Jie to say that they had returned to Han Lin'er.

Chen Jie's original intention of saying this was for the people in the room to hear, that is, for Liu Futong to hear. Since Liu Futong attached so much importance to Little Ming King, Chen Jie must make Little Ming King more valuable, rather than letting this value fall on himself.

If he said that Chen Long and Mei Tu were subdued by him, then Liu Futong would think that outsiders had invaded his Zoroastrianism and he might even be considered part of the group that had evil intentions.

Therefore, Chen Jie directly pushed all the benefits to King Xiao Ming.

Chen Long hesitated for a moment, looked at the open door and said, "Well, Mei Tu and I went back and thought about it. We can't betray the King Ming, so we gave up evil and turned to good. Now we return to the King Ming's service."

After hearing this, Han Miaozhen said with an icy expression, "Well, you two traitors, aren't you afraid that King Dufa will come back and kill you?"

“Hahaha…King Han, please stop scaring people. When King Du comes, we will have rescued the Master. By then, I want to see if King Du dares to fight with the Master.”

"you!"

Han Miaozhen was furious.

Chen Jie waved his hand and said, "They are going to kill you, why don't you do it? Go ahead!"

Hearing this, Chen Long and Mei Tu looked at each other, and the next moment they clasped their fists towards Han Miaozhen: "I'm sorry!"
