Chapter 59: The Origin of the Demon Gate
The officer told the prefect of Xiangcheng what happened at the inn, and early the next morning, the prefect rolled in with his son to make amends, and at the same time presented a million taels of silver tickets. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
For the sake of the silver, Li Jin's anger was half gone, and he unceremoniously put away the silver and waved his hand to drive people away.
The prefect flattered everyone to move to his house to rest, but Su Yuyang politely refused.
The prefect withdrew in disgrace, leaving a team of officers and soldiers responsible for guarding and protecting near the inn.
After Li Jin and his entourage set off, the prefect also led a team of officers and soldiers to escort them for ten miles before returning.
On the way out of the city, Li Jin asked the name of the captain of the guard who led the team in his team, only to learn that his name was Yu Ban, who was Yang Xiao's confidant in Xiaoyaozong, and was now serving as a thousand households of Jinyi Guard.
Yu Ban was also excited to be appreciated by Li Jin, and said a lot of words with all his might, in short, he tried his best to show his loyalty.
At noon, when we reached the bottom of a small hill, a group of officers and soldiers who looked like wolves and tigers were driving more than 30 women and children up the slope.
The women and children, all with pale complexions, skinny skin, and ragged clothes, looked like beggars, and they supported each other with their chapped mouths open, and walked up the slope with great difficulty.
Because of the proximity to Yishui County, more and more people are being displaced by heavy taxes and taxes, and women and children in ragged clothes can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street.
But it was the first time I had seen someone escorted by officers and soldiers.
What's going on?
Those officers and soldiers thought they were walking slowly, and scolded and shook the leather whips in their hands to threaten them.
"Damn, let's go!"
The officer on the horse whipped down, and a woman screamed and fell to the ground, rolling straight down the slope.
"Damn!"
Another officer on a war horse turned his horse's head and rushed to see his posture that he was going to trample the poor woman with his war horse.
"Damn it!"
Yu Ban, Chen Chuchu, and the green clothes who had been frowning all the time seemed to burst out at the same time.
Before the officer could figure out what was going on, Yu Ban's iron claws had slammed into his top door, blood splattered, and he fell to the ground and died before he could even utter a scream.
"Dare to kill officers and soldiers? It's the other way around! ā
The officers and soldiers of that group all pulled out their guys and rushed with shouts.
Yu Ban, Chen Chuchu, and the green clothes that rushed out later, the three of them were like demons from hell, rushing into the group of officers and soldiers, and went on a killing spree.
It was a completely one-sided massacre, and the few remaining officers and soldiers tried to escape, but they were all killed by the hidden weapons shot by the green clothes.
These women and children were all guilty of crimes and were sent to serve hard labor in the wilderness, why would Chen Chuchu, Luyi, Yu Ban and others be so angry that they killed the officers and soldiers?
Li Jin scratched his head, puzzled.
Liu Shiqing was so frightened that his face was as white as paper, and his whole body trembled.
Killing officials is tantamount to rebellion, and the crime is punished by the nine clans!
Su Yuyang frowned, although these officers and soldiers were cruel and hateful, Chen Chuchu and the others sympathized with these prisoners, but they wouldn't be so angry that they killed people, right?
Could it be that these prisoners have something to do with them?
Those women and children had never seen such a cold and ferocious massacre, they were all so shocked that they couldn't possess their bodies, and they all shrank into a ball, and when they saw Chen Chuchu and Green Yi walking towards them, they were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed and shouted for mercy.
Chen Chuchu said softly: "It's okay, everyone get up." ā
There were guards who brought water and food, and these women and children devoured the food and drank the water desperately, daring to love that they were all hungry and thirsty.
"Alas......"
Green Yi sighed, and two lines of tears slipped down his cheeks.
Some masters of the Xiaoyao Sect searched the list from the corpse of the officer, and tore it up in public, and those women and children knelt down again and again to thank him, and at the same time he was panicked.
The list was torn up, they regained their freedom, and they were no longer prisoners, but it was also equivalent to that there were no more of them in the world, how could black and black families survive?
"Don't worry, you follow us, we will arrange it for you, the children will have a future and can be an upright person!"
Chen Chuchu comforted softly, and her words made these prisoners feel reassured, and they knelt down again to thank them.
The closer they got to Yishui County, the fewer pedestrians were on the road, and the masters of the Xiaoyao Sect buried all the corpses and weapons of all the officers and soldiers on the spot, and gave up the war horses to these emaciated and exhausted women and children, and led the war horses on foot.
Such a move is very moving.
Everyone continued to set off on the road, Li Jin delayed a little, and asked Chen Chuchu in a low voice, "Isn't the Demon Gate regarded as an evil demon?" How to ......"
"Demonic Outer Path?"
Chen Chuchu sneered, with a look of disdain on his face, "Yes, the Demon Gate is indeed regarded as an evil demon, but it is much more transparent than those so-called famous and righteous ways!" ā
Her expression was a little excited, "Those people who claim to be famous and righteous are secretly doing unspeakable things, and they are all shameless villains who reverse right and wrong, male thieves and female prostitutes!" ā
Li Jin scratched his head, in the novel, the demon gate is generally a big villain, but listening to what Chen Chuchu said, it seems that this demon is a good person now, and those so-called famous and righteous people are the big villains and big villains......
Chen Chuchu's chest rose and fell violently, and his emotions were extremely excited, "Do you know how the Demon Gate was formed?" What is the purpose of the Demon Gate? ā
Li Jin shook his head, no one told him about these things, how could he know.
Chen Chuchu took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and then slowly revealed the secret of the Demon Gate to him.
In all dynasties, many officials or innocent people were imprisoned, men were beheaded, wives and daughters were either used as official prostitutes, or sent to the border to serve hard labor.
Whenever there is a change of dynasty or a major event, the emperor gives amnesty to the world, and the death row prisoners who are waiting to be beheaded in prison are pardoned and released, but these people who serve hard labor at the border pass are not pardoned, and they have been prisoners for generations, enslaved by inhumanity.
Eventually, some people were indignant and rallied to fight for the rightful place of the miserable, and although the uprising was suppressed by the officials and soldiers, the hope and belief in freedom was deeply imprinted in the hearts of all the enslaved people.
Li Qitian was the first person to lead everyone to fight for freedom, so he was worshiped as the suzerain by the Demon Gate.
As for why it is regarded as a demon gate, but because the first batch of people who started the incident have been tortured and humiliated inhumanely, and there are all kinds of shadows psychologically.
After several generations, the Demon Gate has developed to this day, although the dragons have no leader, and they are divided for the position of the Demon Lord, but the belief in fighting for freedom will never change.
It turned out that this was the case, Li Jin was relieved, and he no longer felt ashamed and uneasy about being mixed with people in the Demon Gate all day long.
"Rest assured, wife, one day, I will fulfill the last wish that my ancestors could not fulfill!"
He patted his chest and reassured, then regretted it again.
When I first heard what Chen Chuchu said, my heart was full of blood, and I blurted out these words, of course, all to please Chen Chuchu, but if it can't be done, wouldn't it be ......
Chen Chuchu's delicate body was shocked, and his eyes were full of incomparable joy and tenderness.
I finally didn't marry the wrong person!
Unable to suppress the excitement in her heart, she whispered a word, and then rode forward and ran away.
Although her voice was as low as a mosquito, Li Jin still heard it, and she was so happy that she almost fell off her horse.
Kiss my husband, hehe, for this sentence, Lao Tzu tied his head to his pants and fought it!
Due to the addition of more than 30 frail women and children, they stopped and stopped along the way, resting more than walking, and a few of them were still ......
fell ill, but fortunately, Chen Chuchu's medical skills were unparalleled, and he collected herbs to heal them.
After four days, the group finally came to Yishui County.
Because there were still a bunch of old and weak women and children dragging them down, the group did not go directly to the county government to report, but went to the Flying Eagle Base first.
When he arrived at the place, Li Jin was really surprised by the changes in the base, which was still the dilapidated valley where the refugees gathered, but it had become an impregnable fortress.
The gates of the base have been reduced to a double stone wall, and the walls are lined with cannons and catapults.
Even the top of the hill that was twice built by craftsmen was built as a defensive wall.
Not only was Li Jin taken aback, but Su Yiyang and Liu Shiqing, who were riding on horseback and standing on either side of him, were also dumbfounded.
What is this for? Rebellion?
Everyone was surprised, and the doorman reported to the village elder, and a group of people greeted him with cheerful steps.
"Young Master Li Jin, are you back?"
"Well, Daddy, how are you doing?"
"Go in and say, go in and say ......."
Li Jin and his entourage entered the camp and first explained the origin of the old and weak women and children in the team, which immediately aroused the sympathy of the camp people, and they simply felt empathy.
They all helped arrange food and accommodation.
It seems to be happy, as if it was originally a family.
Li Jin looked at this scene as if he had found a sense of home, and these people in the camp were his relatives.
