Chapter 325: Discovered by Emperor Mingde
The general was miserable, and he didn't want to take on this errand, but the military order was like a mountain and had to obey.
"General, you can save the bustling village, but there are still thousands of bustling villages, can you save it!"
Baili Yunzheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Shi Qing, what do you mean by this?" ”
It's no wonder that he doesn't know, the most he's heard about along the way is the bustling village, and he hasn't heard of it anywhere else.
Shi Qing gritted his teeth and told everything he knew, "Today, the saint is leviing taxes in order to build a palace, and the people are miserable, this bustling village is just one of the representatives, and now it's like this all over the world!" ”
These words were heart-wrenching, and Baili Yunzheng's ears seemed to sound the wailing of the people in the world, and he asked word by word, "What you said is true?" ”
"General, do you know who are the people who come to the door every day with knives and guns to beg for money?"
"It's your former soldier, a man like me!"
A resolute man like Shi Qing couldn't help but choke up when he talked about resentment, he didn't want to guard the border and defend the country like a real soldier, and every time he faced the pleas of the people, he couldn't bear it.
But now he can only commit murder against the people of his own country.
Baili Yunzheng's heart was already turbulent, and it seemed that there were thousands of waves stirring in his heart, and he now regretted leaving a strong army for Emperor Mingde.
He originally thought that Emperor Mingde was just afraid of his high position, so he wanted to kill them all, which was a common problem of every emperor, and he didn't blame Emperor Mingde.
But he didn't expect that Emperor Mingde could even ignore his own people, just to squeeze some more money to build a new palace.
Shi Qing saw that Baili Yunzheng's face was not good, and he knew that it was for the purpose of taxation.
"General, listen to my advice, you should get out of here quickly, if you are involved, I am afraid it will not be so easy to get out." Shi Qing kindly admonished.
Baili Yunzheng recovered from the shock, thinking that what Shi Qing said was not unreasonable, it was important to avoid Emperor Mingde's eyeliner now, and he must not expose himself and Li Chuxia.
But Baili Yunzheng still can't let go of one thing, "I know that it is your duty to collect taxes, but I want to swear with the kindness that once saved your life, don't embarrass the villagers here." ”
Shi Qing looked at the faces behind Baili Yunzheng that were either vigilant or full of hope, and lowered his head emphatically.
"But I can only guarantee that the villagers will not be harmed during the time I am here, and if I leave, I will not be able to do it at that time."
"I hope you do what you say." Baili Yunzheng also knew that this was the biggest promise Shi Qing made within his ability, so he would not continue to bargain.
After Shi Qing left, Shuguang Village temporarily regained its former vitality, and the villagers continued to work hard to reclaim the wasteland.
Baili Yunzheng decided to leave after listening to Shi Qing's words, but due to the rain, he insisted on staying for a few days. In the past few days in Shuguang Village, Baili Yunzheng planned the layout of the village while training young adults to become militiamen, and Li Chuxia also did his best to teach the villagers some food made with wild vegetables.
On this day, Baili Yunzheng and Li Chuxia packed up their things, bid farewell to everyone in Shuguang Village, and prepared to get back on the road.
The villagers were reluctant to say goodbye to the villagers, and many old people had tears and reluctance in their eyes.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the village, and several middle-aged men on patrol pushed a small soldier over.
When the little soldier saw Baili Yunzheng, he immediately pounced and cried, "General, general, go and save our Lord Shi!" ”
Baili Yunzheng pulled the person up, "What happened to Shi Qing?" ”
"The matter of Lord Shi shielding Shuguang Village was known by the above, and it was said that Lord Shi resisted the decree, and I am afraid that he still wants to occupy the mountain as the king, and he will arrest Lord Shi!"
Xiao Bing was obviously Shi Qing's confidant, and after explaining the matter clearly in three or two sentences, he looked at Baili Yunzheng with a blank eye.
Seeing that Baili Yunzheng had not replied, Xiao Bing was a little anxious, "General, Lord Shi is all for your oath, now you can't see death without saving." ”
Baili Yunzheng was a little hesitant, he was anxious to find the child quickly, they had been delayed for too long in Shuguang Village.
Li Chuxia was reluctant to meddle in Baili Yunzheng's official affairs, but Shi Qing was indeed arrested because of them, so he should rescue people because of reason.
Baili Yunzheng was persuaded to let the soldiers lead the way in front, but he wanted to see who smeared the facts and arrested people indiscriminately.
The camp was not far away, and it took less than half an hour to arrive.
Li Chuxia quietly described the current situation in Baili Yunzheng's ear, and Baili Yunzheng roughly had a plan in his heart.
"I heard that there are people here who are indiscriminately exercising official authority?" Baili Yunzheng's voice was cold, because his serious and tense face was even sharper.
Shi Qing's eyes lit up, and he knew that General Baili would not die without help.
The detainee said disdainfully, "Where did the blind man come out of nowhere, dare to stand in the way of this official." ”
Baili Yunzheng laughed, he hadn't met such an incompetent person for a long time.
"Hmph, I don't think you have long eyes, this is the famous Baili General." Shi Qing spoke on the side.
"General Baili?"
The detainee's eyes widened and he looked at it carefully, and finally knelt on the ground, "The general spares his life, the lower official has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and asks the general to atone for his sins." ”
Baili Yunzheng's murderous aura did not converge, and the people around him trembled, as if they were on the battlefield, and they were little minions who could be slaughtered.
Baili Yunzheng's coercion was over, he walked up to Shi Qing and asked the dog official, "Is that okay to loosen Master Shi's bonds?" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was no need to instruct, Shi Qing's henchmen hurriedly stepped forward to untie the rope.
"Also, I want you to withdraw your troops from here, and you can go back wherever you come from." Baili Yunzheng's voice seemed to contain ice ballast, which made people dare not disobey.
The people below got the order, and even if they didn't want to, they could only withdraw their troops.
The matter soon reached the ears of Emperor Mingde, and the people who reported the news were walking on thin ice, and they didn't dare to come out with a single one, for fear of angering the emperor and his own head.
Emperor Mingde played with the little plaything in his hand, his eyes thoughtful, "You mean, Baili Yunzheng showed up for the people of a village?" ”
"Back to the emperor, it's true."
"Okay, I know, I remember that there are a lot of people who have had a holiday with Baili Yunzheng, so let Commander Zhou go, and be sure to bring those two people back."
Emperor Mingde did not shy away from the people around him when he ordered all this, and the eyes of the newcomer Yan Guifei widened when she heard the name of Baili Yunzheng, and the resentment in her eyes was fleeting.
In the place where Emperor Mingde didn't see it, Yan Guifei clenched her hands, and she couldn't feel the pain when her nails were pinched into her palms, she only knew that the real battle between her and Li Chuxia was coming.
Yan Guifei is Yan Ruoxi, who was swept out of the house that day, and now she has become a favored concubine in front of Emperor Mingde, how much effort has been put into it is only known to herself, and the culprit of all this is Li Chuxia.
If it weren't for Li Chuxia, now she herself is Lang Qi's wife and lives a happy life.
Yan Ruoxi's bright and beautiful eyes were no longer tender, but hatred for Li Chuxia.
But she hid these very well now, and whispered to Emperor Mingde, "Don't be angry, isn't the emperor just a blind man, how much ability can he have?" ”
Emperor Mingde frowned, as if he didn't expect the concubine to know Baili Yunzheng.
"You know him?" Emperor Mingde asked.
Yan Ruoxi took a good measure before answering, "Not to mention him, I also know the woman next to him, and the concubine heard that the woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”
Emperor Mingde didn't stop Yan Ruoxi when he heard that Li Chuxia was slandering, but said with interest: "Then according to the concubine, what should I do with her?" ”
"According to the concubine, you can't be soft-hearted about this poisonous scorpion woman, since she and the blind man are a couple, it is better to pierce her eyes and let them be the right fairy couple." Yan Ruoxi couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart as she spoke, as if Li Chuxia was at her mercy in front of her now.
Emperor Mingde took a good look at Yan Ruoxi after she entered the palace.
This woman has a delicate posture, a small face is bright and bright, especially those eyes, which seem to have a hook hidden in them, and a pair of upper eyes and hearts are hooked by her.
But she is such a gorgeous woman, but her mind is so vicious.
Emperor Mingde was still thinking about Li Chuxia in his heart, and was quite displeased when he heard Yan Ruoxi's vicious words, "I didn't know that my concubine was so good at coming up with ideas. ”
Yan Ruoxi fell into her imagination, and didn't hear Emperor Mingde's unkind tone, but continued to answer, "Your Majesty, this kind of person should be treated like this, otherwise how can she be worthy of the mistakes she made before." ”
"Presumptuous, I didn't know that the concubine had such a big grudge against Chu Xia!" Emperor Mingde was angry in a low voice, and the majesty of the emperor was so overwhelming that Yan Ruoxi couldn't help shrinking.
"The emperor is angry, the concubines are speechless for a while, and ask the emperor to atone for his sins!" Yan Ruoxi crouched at Emperor Mingde's feet, her voice trembling.
When the Son of Heaven is angry, bleeding and drifting, not everyone can withstand the anger of the Son of Heaven.
"Don't get down yet!" Emperor Mingde's voice was rough, and he didn't mean to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
Yan Ruoxi retreated in small steps, under her painstaking management, she was already in the harem above ten thousand people under one person. But now, I'm afraid that Emperor Mingde will never want to see her again in a short time.
All of this is thanks to Li Chuxia.
It's just that now she has just angered the emperor, and I am afraid that she will be watched by the emperor these days, so it will not be convenient for her to do things.
So even if Yan Ruoxi is unwilling, he can only temporarily suppress his hatred and wait for the time to take revenge.
After Yan Ruoxi went out, Emperor Mingde was still sitting in his original seat thoughtfully, it seemed that there were not many grievances between the concubine and Li Chuxia, which aroused his curiosity.
On the other side, the Zhou commander sent out by Emperor Mingde quickly set off and found Baili Yunzheng.
He was already at odds with Baili Yunzheng, but now the emperor sent him to arrest Baili Yunzheng, which made him excited for a while.
As long as Baili Yun Zheng is defeated under his hands, then he is the existence of the guardian saint of the Cloud Kingdom, and the object of the world's admiration is him.
When Commander Zhou saw Baili Yunzheng, he glanced at the other party's godless eyes, and fought without saying a word.
