Chapter 665: Stone Man Xian, Toad King
Chapter 668
Cheng Dalei was urgently preparing for the war, and at the same time, Song Bokang was not idle, and was also preparing for the upcoming confrontation between the two armies.
Mainly in Liangzhou City, between the three cities of Jincheng, Wuwei and Haojia, soldiers and horses, grain and grass, and weapons are mobilized back and forth. Someone has been sent to Jingzhou to ask for help to see if the Prime Minister can get some support.
Song Bokang was already determined to fight this battle, and any force that could be used would be used, and its purpose was to completely eradicate Cheng Dalei's forces from Liangzhou.
In the future, the mountain rain is already full of wind. Even ordinary residents of the city can feel the tension of the current situation. On the one hand, the rightful King of Liangzhou, and on the other hand, the notorious Cheng Dalei, everyone is also speculating about the victory or defeat of this battle.
Song Bokang patrolled the barracks that day, inspecting his soldiers. In fact, he was a civilian official and was not good at leading troops into war. But he also understands that in today's world, the so-called wealth and power are illusory, and only the soldiers in their hands are real things.
But he understands this truth, and the respected old man in the Prime Minister's Mansion also understands it. Dai Bai, who held the military power under Song Bokang, was the old man's diehard. If one day Song Bokang is unwilling to be the horse boy of the Prime Minister's Mansion, then there are not many troops he can use.
Every time he thought of this, Song Bokang felt a little helpless, and the feeling of being held by others was really unpleasant. So he has been trying to cultivate his cronies, with little success, but he has been doing it.
Perhaps, after getting rid of Cheng Dalei, he can really let go of his hands and feet.
Thinking of this, Song Bokang suddenly felt ambitious.
"Wang Shang......" A junior colonel hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words in Song Bokang's ear.
Song Bokang's expression became unsightly, and he waved his hand: "Let's go, go and have a look." ”
Dai Bai and Lu Luo followed behind Song Bokang and rushed to the place of the incident. The place where the accident happened was not in the city, but in a town outside the city.
When Song Bokang and the others arrived, they saw that the three floors inside and the outer three floors were already full of people. The soldiers parted the crowd, and Song Bokang walked to the middle and saw what was happening in front of him.
I saw that in a clearing in the middle, a stone statue broke out of the ground, and six words were engraved behind the stone statue:
Stone man is now, the toad king.
Song Bokang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he saw this scene, and the surrounding soldiers and crowds also saw it.
Even if Song Bokang was right in front of them, they had already begun to talk about it. The word toad is obviously talking about the toad city, so the meaning of these six words is too obvious.
It's scary, too.
"Lao Li, what's going on?" An old man who had just woken up didn't know what was happening, but he only came over when he saw the crowd gathering.
"Hey, don't you know yet, this stone man came out of the earth, this is God's revelation to us, Toad King, Toad King...... The toad can be the king......"
"Fake, right?"
"What kind of fake, it can grow out of the soil, this can only be done by immortals. ”
Such remarks are remembered in my ears from time to time, and Song Bokang is in a terrible mood. But at the same time, he couldn't figure out how this world could grow out of the earth.
Could it really be the so-called apocalypse?
Song Bokang himself does not believe it, but it is inevitably a little vague. He, the king of Liangzhou, was vague, not to mention the soldiers and ordinary people around him.
"Someone is about to seal this place, and no one is allowed to come closer. In an emergency, Dai Bai was the first to break the deadlock.
The soldiers used sticks to disperse the crowd of onlookers, and the inner and outer three layers formed a circle.
Lu Luo approached quietly, and Song Bokang's bad face made him dare not speak loudly, but asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, how should this be?"
The stone man was expressionless, but it seemed to be a silent mockery of himself, high up, with a hateful expression, like a toad city.
"Someone, dig it out for me. Song Bokang gritted his teeth and said.
The soldiers trembled and did not dare to step forward, this is a divine revelation, and everyone can not afford to offend the gods.
"What, aren't you all afraid of death?" Song Bokang asked coldly.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that even though the gods were terrifying, it was the one in front of them who could take their lives at any time.
With great courage, everyone leaned forward nervously, and secretly prayed in their hearts: There is a spirit in heaven, and if you want to punish Song Bokang, this matter has nothing to do with us.
Song Bokang frowned tightly and stared at the stone man motionlessly, he was also very worried.
What if it's true?
As the shovel dug in, the true appearance of the stone man was revealed. It's very simple to say that the stone man is buried in the soil in advance, and the bean sprouts are filled underneath, and after being filled with water, the bean sprouts will push the stone man out of the ground.
"Insect carving skills. Song Bokang snorted disdainfully, completely forgetting the nervousness just now: "Let everyone come over and take a look, look at this kind of ghost trick, don't let people fool you." ”
"Yes, yes. ”
Song Bokang returned to Liangzhou City, and there was still some discomfort in his heart. He immediately set out to investigate the matter to see what had happened recently. I don't know, I was shocked when I asked, it turned out that this stone man was not isolated, but an insignificant one among countless things.
When a fishmonger breaks open the belly of a fish, he finds a yellow scroll with the words: King Toad.
A few travelers who returned late were staying at the mountain temple, and suddenly heard the chat between the mountain god and the mountain god's grandmother.
This Song Bokang is not a thing, the one who should really be in charge of Liangzhou should be......
Nursery rhymes have popped up on the streets, similar to "Song Bokang Bastard" and the like.
Rumors popped up like this, and among ordinary soldiers, among ordinary people, they were already dressed in an uproar. Such rumors were naturally made by Cheng Dalei. There is no shortage of charlatans who are good at pretending to be ghosts, and now Cheng Dalei has not thought of a way to win, and he does not expect what kind of effect such an act will receive. But I can't do it, it's okay to be disgusting and disgusting.
It is said that rumors stop at the wise, but there are no wise men in this world. Everyone loves to listen to this strange and chaotic thing, and after tea and dinner, they can't help but talk about these things. Some of them are those he believes, and some of them are those he wants to believe.
Under Song Bokang's system, everyone may not have a good life. Some people have a bad life that can't get any worse, and they crave change, so they believe in change as well.
Song Bokang still doesn't realize what kind of evil consequences this incident will bring, which is also in line with Cheng Dalei's usual strategy: attacking the heart first.
He was just very angry and disgusting, which all turned into anger towards Cheng Dalei.
Call your men to your side, order them to investigate strictly, prohibit the spread of rumors, and get to the bottom of it to see where the rumors came from.
