The Swordsman of the Gods

035. 3 Cult Leaders Subjugated!

Back then, the cult leaders other than Wang, Luo and Yin who were out of nowhere, were summoned by Emperor Ming.

After reporting everything. The Ming Emperor grinned and looked at Yongchun. It was perturbed by him that Emperor Ming was up to something.

After he stated ...

“Do any of you mind, Wang Yongchun being one of the 7 Heavenly Cult Leaders?”

Everything's silent. The silent atmosphere inside made Yongchun's heart uneasy. Not long after the Emperor had said such a careless thing, all the leaders there displayed emotions in the depths of his heart, a feeling of pleasure, understatedness, and acceptance.

“Very happy to hear it!” shout them at the same time.

“Hah? They already know who I am. But why do you agree with the decision so anyway?”

Inwardly, Yongchun wondered what this really was. No one talks about Yongchun's true identity. They even agreed to agree to Emperor Ming's decision.

“Your Majesty, wait! Please wait a moment ..”

“No, no. Wang Yongchun, this is my chance. And I intend you to give gold in return that they also get. You understand what I mean?” emperor Ming interrupted Yongchun's words of protest.

“What do you mean is to let me be one of the cult leaders so that I can be easily manipulated by you?” inner Yongchun with annoyance. Unknowingly he was grieving, everyone heard him.

“Then, we've decided this.”

That one-sided statement really did not calm Yongchun down. Only for a short time he wanted to rest but there were obstacles as well as more qualified opportunities.

Outside the palace gates, Yongchun who came out last was suddenly greeted by the three cult leaders prostrating before him.

“Leader Yongchun! We will follow you!” exclaim them.

None other than Leader Li, Xie then Zhao who had previously agreed to his cooperation. For a moment of goosebumps, something's wrong here. He left as if he did not see the three of them in front of him.

“Very bad, we are ignored by superiors,” Li quipped.

“What? What do you guys mean? If you want to talk better, don't stay here. Suddenly prostrated and said such a thing. Don't you guys know who I really am?!” high-pitched Ketus Yongchun.

He then went towards Wang Xian's little cottage. But the three of them followed him. Intending to avoid but always unable to, Yongchun became annoyed.

“Why are you following me?! Really want to talk about something, huh?” yongchun asked, he stopped and looked back.

“Of course. We, after knowing who you really are. That makes us feel happy. Yongchun, you want to make your territory no longer poor, right? That's why you came here to unite the country and share the treasure that Emperor Ming had. But we have another proposal,” Li Bai said.

“Leader Xie, did you say something to them?” yongchun asked before he replied to Li Bai's words.

“Before not. But after Leader Wang told us that, including your purpose in coming here, I decided what you were planning to do if there were any obstacles. One of them was the rebels last night,” replied Xie Xie.

Li Bai smiled with satisfaction. “It's nice that you know what I mean well. The gold that was given to us and you, it was actually the income of the people who farmed, traded and others. He took almost their entire fee which should have been theirs.”

“Compare tax. The excessive tax. That's why I once said that I want to achieve peace in this region, right?” sahut Xie Xie's.

Zhao Yun laughed loudly at Xie's words.

“Hei Miss Xie Xie, I hope that's the real peace you want to achieve. The taxes were indeed too excessive, Emperor Ming was also outrageous, casually eating the treasures of the residents with it. But, is rolling it enough?” reply Zhao Yun. His actions and manner of speaking are always impulsive, but it turns out his wits are also diluted for a big man.

“Lantas how? That's the only way. But I can't do it alone.”

Zhao Yun sighed, he then whispered directly in Xie Xie's ear, “There's me, right?” He said so with confidence.

Yongchun looked around to make sure that no one was listening or approaching.

“Yes, well I understand. But make me a shield and a knife? I'm sure you know anything I can do here in my own way, including killing you. I have no hesitation in doing so, even though I am now in another region that is not my territory,” Yongchun explained.

At that moment the mood returned to silence. They had the same goal as him deciding to cooperate with Yongchun.

The reason Xie Xie was quite clear, he had always wanted to do something so that the residents would be paid the fees they should have gotten. Even though the residents of the northeastern region do not complain, and feel adequate like that. But still, Emperor Ming was willing to temper his own people.

This is clearly wrong!

Then Li Bai was the same, he felt an injustice here. It was more or less the same as what Xie Xie had thought.

Then Zhao? I don't know what exactly was the reason for him to cooperate with Yongchun.

Under the night moon and the falling snow, all the sentences Zhao Yun had thrown back then were completely real. Not one bit smelled of lies or cunning.

He will follow someone he thinks is much better. Zhao Yun's thoughts were simple. Easily read.

“Leader Zhao, is your reason for asking for cooperation with me the same as theirs?” ask Yongchun.

Zhao Yun replied in a stern voice, “No! I'm just following people who are more worthy of being followed! Do you mind because I'm not like those who care about the people?” ask Zhao.

“You are not a ruler who bears the burden of the inhabitants here. But at least, I feel like you're safe enough to be by my side one day. Even if you say you don't care about them, the desire to save the weaker person is there, right?”

Yongchun smiled with satisfaction at hearing that simple reason was more interesting to him. One day he might really trust Zhao Yun.

But behind that. They each have their own personal reasons. It was clearly visible from emotions, in the form of a heart that was blooming. There is a complicated relationship between the three people.

“I think maybe your decision is too rash and hasty. But I'll make sure you don't die as long as you follow me.”
