Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2073 - Only play hard

Guanyin's plan this time was indeed insidious and vicious, and the actions of the Western Paradise this time were extremely well hidden, all carried out from the shadows.

Chu Hao arranged this plan in order to force the people of the Western Paradise who were manipulating things from the dark to come out.

For the common people, all they need is freedom of belief and good treatment, and this is something that must be fought for.

For Xiong Hai, his goal is to complete the mission, quell the current chaotic situation, and stabilize the various prefectures and counties.

For the Tianzhu Kingdom, what they want is for their territory not to be split apart, maintaining royal power and national strength.

Chu Hao's facilitation of negotiations to resolve the problem can be said to bring tangible benefits to the people and avoid the disasters of war.

And Xiong Hai can complete his mission without bloodshed or any losses.

The Tianzhu Kingdom can also maintain its territory and royal power. It can be said that for these three parties, it is a win-win-win result.

The only ones who truly care about faith are the Western Paradise. The Western Paradise will not allow the狱神's (Prison God) faith to touch their Buddhist status.

Therefore, they must come forward and stop the outcome of this negotiation in order to achieve their goals.

In two days' time, under the arrangement of Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, those prefectures and counties began to gradually restore stability.

Xiong Hai also sent personnel to enter the city for reconnaissance and prepared to take over, while also beginning to arrange for troop withdrawal.

Hearing of this situation, the Buddhas of the Western Paradise, hidden in the dark, could no longer remain calm and personally came to discuss with the adjutant and those generals loyal to the Western Paradise.

"How could it be this result? We must not let those rebellious people escape this calamity!"

The Buddha said angrily.

If these people who believe in the Prison God are left behind, it would be equivalent to opening a gap. The Prison God's faith will spread and impact the foundation of Buddhism's position.

"But General Xiong Hai is already preparing to withdraw his troops, unless we take strong measures."

"Directly send our confidants to enter the city and carry out a massacre!"

"As long as a fight breaks out, even if Xiong Hai wants to withdraw his troops, it will be impossible, and he won't be able to control the situation."

After some discussion, the Buddha and those generals decided to take action and play hard directly.

These generals gathered their trusted subordinates and soldiers, preparing to directly kill their way into Yuxia Prefecture and launch a massacre, once again creating conflict between the two sides.

Adding up the adjutant and the trusted subordinates of those generals, it was also a considerable force, with nearly ten thousand soldiers.

Under the leadership of the adjutant, nearly ten thousand soldiers directly entered the city gate and killed their way into Yuxia Prefecture.

"Kill all the rebellious people!"

The adjutant shouted to his soldiers, issuing the order to massacre.

But just after saying this, the adjutant noticed that something seemed wrong, because the surroundings were unusually quiet.

They had entered the city with nearly ten thousand people, with great momentum. It was impossible for the city not to react in any way, not to put up any resistance.

But now, they had entered the city gate, and there was no one around, not even a single person in sight. This was extremely illogical.

"Not good, we seem to have fallen into a trap!"

The adjutant could be considered to have some brains and immediately realized that something was wrong. There was a high probability that they had fallen into a trap.

After realizing this, he immediately wanted to lead his men to withdraw from the city gate, but at this moment, the city gate suddenly closed.

Then, from all around them, countless people holding weapons appeared, surrounding the adjutant and his soldiers.

"It's them who are causing trouble."

Tang Seng and Sun Wukong were also among those people.

The Buddha and the adjutant's discussion of countermeasures naturally could not escape Chu Hao's eyes, so he had already notified Tang Seng and others to make arrangements.

They had already set up a trap here, waiting for them to walk right into it. The adjutant and others were now turtles in a jar.

"You rebellious people, how dare you resist the imperial army? This is treason."

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to his side, the adjutant first threw out a big hat, placing it on the heads of the people.

"Treason, that's a good word, but I'm afraid what you say doesn't count."

Tang Seng said with a smile to the adjutant.

"If what I say doesn't count, then who does?"

The adjutant pretended to be full of momentum, putting on the airs of an official.

"You are just a mere adjutant, of course what you say doesn't count. So it turns out that everything was caused by you."

At this time, a voice came. Hearing this voice, the adjutant couldn't help but be stunned.

"General Xiong Hai."

This voice belonged to Xiong Hai. At this time, Xiong Hai appeared beside Tang Seng and others.

This scene was naturally also arranged by Chu Hao, letting Sha Seng invite Xiong Hai to Yuxia Prefecture to enjoy this good show.

"General, spare us! We were wrong."

"We were just momentarily confused."

"Please, General, give us a way out."

The adjutant and those generals loyal to the Western Paradise, hearing Xiong Hai say this, were immediately terrified and began to kneel on the ground begging for mercy.

If they were to bear the crime of treason, how miserable their fate would be, they naturally knew very well.

"Arrest them all."

Under Xiong Hai's command, the adjutant and those generals were tied up and sent to Tang Seng and Xiong Hai.

"General, you can ask about the situation clearly."

Tang Seng reminded Xiong Hai, letting him interrogate the adjutant and others in public.

"Speak, why did you do this? Give me a truthful account."

Faced with Xiong Hai's questioning, the adjutant could not avoid telling the truth.

They were indeed loyal to the Western Paradise, but compared to loyalty and life, their loyalty could basically be ignored.

"It was the Buddha's envoy from the Western Paradise who told us to do this."

"Yes, we were following the arrangements of the Western Paradise."

"The Buddha's envoy from the Western Paradise told us to kill the people who believe in the Prison God."

The adjutant and those generals began to confess one after another, exposing the Western Paradise's scheme to the public.

There were countless people around, and among these people, there were also many who believed in Western Paradise Buddhism. Hearing this information, their faces changed.

"The Western Paradise is so vicious, wanting to massacre us all."

"Such actions are simply outrageous!"

"They preach salvation all day long, but they do such insidious and vicious things."

The people were completely furious, and even those who originally believed in the Western Paradise abandoned their faith in an instant.

"The Western Paradise actually did such a thing, it's no wonder the people would turn to believe in the Prison God."

Even Xiong Hai, as the general of the Tianzhu Kingdom, was filled with anger towards the Western Paradise at this time.
