Chapter 68: The Voice of the People
Is there a seal on the edict that has a jade seal of the country?
Hearing the old man's words, the rumor that had been making trouble in Huainan during this time immediately appeared in the minds of everyone present.
More than ten days ago, Yuan Yao and Yuan Yin carried Yuan Shu's coffin and led the crowd south to Anhui City, but they were attacked by unknown forces on the way, Yuan Yin died, the jade seal of the country was stolen, and Yuan Yao led the remnants of the defeated army to flee to Hefei.
Judging from the current situation, the team that attacked Yuan's camp at the beginning was obviously Jinfan, and Liu Ye is now dominated by Wang Chong, and the two are from Hefei today.
Wang Chong smiled and glanced around lightly: "The jade seal of Fang Jinchuan has been returned to Xu Du by me, and Huainan is too guarded, and the position of General Annan is a reward given by today's Zi Longyan Dayue, how about it?" You should believe it now, right? ”
Wang Chong knew very well what these people were thinking, although when he rushed to the bank of the Feishui River before, the camp of the Yuan army had already been bombed because of Xu Xuan's rebellion, but it was true that he really wanted to attack the camp at the beginning, not to mention that Xu Xuan was dead, and all the benefits were fished out by themselves, so it didn't matter what they wanted to think about this matter.
"This ......"
At this moment, Zheng Bao's subordinates and martial arts all looked at each other, they were already convinced in their hearts that Wang Chong was indeed named Huainan Taishou by the imperial court, but Zheng Bao was their lord after all, and now seeing him being killed in front of him, how could he just forget it?
"Everyone, listen to me!" At the critical moment, Liu Ye stood up again and said loudly, "How is Zheng Bao, you should know better than me, how he has treated you and the people of Chaohu in the past few years?" Think about it, is such a person really worthy of your allegiance? ”
There was a commotion at the scene again, and under Liu Ye's thought-provoking reminder, recalling what Zheng Bao had done over the years, everyone couldn't help but feel a touch of disgust in their hearts.
Zheng Bao is greedy, repetitive, cold-blooded, everything he does is for his own interests, but he never considers the feelings of others, he deducts military salaries, oppresses the people, his own pockets become more and more bulging, and the people's lives are becoming more and more poor.
From beginning to end, Zheng Bao didn't treat them as people, they came when they called, and they went when they lingered, as long as they were unhappy, it was common to cut off people's heads at every turn, I don't know how many innocent people and soldiers lost their lives because of this, such days, I am really fed up!
I don't know why, looking at the headless corpse lying on the ground at this moment, many people not only did not feel sad and sad in their hearts, but were a little relieved, and even worse, they even showed a gloating expression.
In the blink of an eye, the Chaoxian soldiers looked numb one by one, and their morale plummeted, where did they still have the intention of killing Wang Chong to avenge Zheng Bao?
At this time, the general who had questioned Liu Ye before spoke again: "Mr. Ziyang, Zheng Bao is brutal and unkind, and he is indeed not worthy of my allegiance, but what about him?" ”
The general pointed at Wang Chong and continued: "This person is the leader of Jinfan, and he should not be less involved in killing people and stealing goods on weekdays, is he really worthy of our allegiance?" If he becomes the second Zheng Bao after taking control of Chaohu, then won't we have the same sad days in the future? Rather than this, it is better to kill him now, and then let the court change to a Huainan Taishou, of course, if Mr. Ziyang is willing to come forward to lead us, we are naturally 10,000 willing! ”
"That's right, let Mr. Ziyang be the Taishou, don't want Wang Chong, don't want Jinfan!!"
Liu Ye is too much loved by the people in Huainan, and the general's words at this moment almost express everyone's thoughts.
As a result, the scene was agitated for a while, and countless people shouted the slogan of expelling Jinfan and letting Liu Ye be the Taishou.
It's a pity that Liu Ye is not happy because of this, on the contrary, now he only feels a cold air rushing from the soles of his feet to his head, as if he is in an ice cellar, and his whole body is stiff and unable to move.
Liu Ye is not a repeat person, he has just made up his mind to assist Wang Chong, how can he do something against the master in the blink of an eye? But those who have always had high merit have no good end, and the actions of the people of Chao County in front of him are not only persecuting him to be disloyal, but also constantly hitting Wang Chong's bottom limit, wanting to pull him into a place of no return.
But Liu Ye couldn't blame them for anything, the people were ignorant, they just shouted their hearts at the moment, but they didn't know what this would bring to Liu Ye.
"You...... You ......" Liu Ye was a little at a loss in a hurry, and he was always wise in the face of this situation, and he was completely confused.
"Ziyang!"
Wang Chong patted Liu Ye on the shoulder behind his back, but Liu Ye trembled in fright, and the whole person almost jumped up: "Lord...... My lord, I ...... I ......"
"Relax, don't be nervous, you are not to blame for this." Wang Chong smiled slightly, "Could it be that I only have such a small amount of stomach in your heart?" ”
Seeing Wang Chong's reaction, Liu Ye let out a long sigh in his heart, and then shook his head decisively and said, "No...... Of course not! ”
"You, you have to have some confidence in me!" Wang Chong angrily accused, "Okay, you step aside for the time being, and leave it to me here!" ”
Although Liu Ye didn't know what Wang Chong was going to do, he still nodded and responded: "No!" ”
In the face of the noise of the people and soldiers of Chao County, Wang Chong still did not change his face, only to see him raise his feet and walk slowly towards the Chao County general who caused the scene to get out of control because of a word, but the light steps seemed to be extremely heavy on everyone's hearts, making the noisy scene quiet in an instant.
"You...... What are you doing!? "For Wang Chong's bravery, the soldiers of Chaoxian County just had a deep understanding, Zheng Bao's martial arts were strong enough in their hearts, but they still couldn't withstand Wang Chong's knife, although Wang Chong was suspected of sneak attack, but Zheng Bao at that time had actually reacted, but his hasty dodge speed was almost negligible in front of Wang Chong's lightning-fast knife swinging speed.
Therefore, when Wang Chong walked towards the general, all the soldiers thought that he wanted to hurt the other party, so they showed their weapons one after another and protected them in front of the general.
"Okay, let's get out of the way, there is no murder in his eyes!" On the contrary, the person concerned was very calm, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to retreat.
"But ......"
The general shouted in a deep voice: "No, but, this is an order!" ”
“…… Promise! Everyone didn't dare to disobey, so they had to retreat slowly, but their eyes looking at Wang Chong were still full of vigilance, and the weapons in their hands were not recovered.
Wang Chong's eyes flashed with appreciation, although he didn't know what the martial arts strategy of the person in front of him was, but this calmness alone was enough to become an excellent general defending the city.
Wang Chong came to the general and looked at him calmly: "Do you know what the crime of killing an official of the imperial court is without permission?" If I die, which of you will take the responsibility? ”
"I'm coming!" The general said firmly, "After killing you, I will kill myself, and then let someone take my head to the imperial court, and let the Son of Heaven send a new Huainan Taishou!" ”
"Yes, very responsible!" Wang Chong smiled, but then his face suddenly turned cold, grabbed the other party's collar, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, and roared viciously, "But what do you know!?" ”
