Chapter 106: Chai Hongyu
Ping County, Gouer Village.
Inside a dilapidated farmhouse.
"Lord Lu!"
Li Wei, whose upper body was wrapped in bandages, got up from the bed excitedly as soon as he saw the figure that suddenly appeared at the door.
That's right, he survived again.
He was hungry and did not die on the road when he was conscripted for labor, and when he was buried by a flash flood, he was dug out of the soil by Yuzhou Wei, and was almost killed by Yu Wangwei, but he was rescued by two heroes who happened to pass by at the last moment.
In just a few days, he experienced three lives and deaths.
And he was born poor, his parents died, he went through hardships, and he had to meet nobles... It's just a proper template for the main character.
Hearing that in order to avenge the villagers, Lu Chen personally led the army to capture the Yu Wangfu and killed the always brutal Yu King with his own hands, Li Wei was suddenly so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Originally, I thought that all the villagers died in the hands of Yu Wangwei, and they basically died in vain, after all, throughout the ages, the top royal family really wanted to kill the people who had no spiritual roots, and most of the time they only needed to find a random reason, and few people would come forward to seek justice for the people, let alone the royal family.
But now... This Qingtian master, who only exists in fantasy, sincerely makes decisions for the people, and is dedicated to the people, has really appeared!
And he is still the lifesaver who once saved his life!
Without waiting for Lu Chen to open his mouth to stop him, Li Wei knelt on his knees, knelt down in front of Lu Chen, and kowtowed the ground.
"Thank you, my lord, for making decisions for us and other small people! If there is an opportunity to repay the kindness of adults in the future, even if the small people are ashes, they will not hesitate!! ”
The hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and it instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers.
"Lord Lu is here?"
"Quick! Hurry up and meet Lord Lu! ”
“……”
A burst of messy footsteps sounded, making Lu Chen's original plan to just stop by and take a look and leave directly in vain.
It didn't take long for more than 100 villagers from Gou'er Village to gather outside Li Wei's house, and when they saw Lu Chen, they bowed their heads as excitedly as Li Wei.
"Thank you, my lord, for making decisions for me and the rest of the people!"
Lu Chen not only saved their lives and gave them life-saving food, but also avenged their relatives who were killed.
Such a great grace is like re-creation.
In their opinion, no matter how much they kowtow, Lu Chen, a young man, can bear it, and it should be.
Only a good official like Lu Chen, who is dedicated to the people, is worthy of their sincere respect.
Looking at the villagers kneeling down in large numbers, feeling their love and respect from the bottom of their hearts, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart gradually rising, and at the same time, Dao Jing, who had been restless for some reason all this time, also trembled even more violently at this time.
A warm current constantly flowed in the spiritual veins, and every time they passed, the spiritual veins grew stronger.
An indescribable feeling of comfort gushed out of the lower abdomen and spread throughout the body in an instant.
Cool from head to toe.
Without warning, he broke through like this, directly from the Cyclone Realm to the Condensation Realm.
"Huh?"
Fu Huan suddenly turned her head and looked at Lu Chen.
After a moment, a hint of joy slowly appeared in her eyes.
"Whew..."
Lu Chen clenched his fists, took a deep breath, then raised his hand, and said softly: "Folks, get up, this official just did what he had to do, and in addition to seeking justice for the dead, as the governor of the two states, this official has not done anything, neither let you have food and clothing, nor has he done to protect the territory and the people. ”
"Don't think so, adults!"
Hearing that Lu Chen was blaming himself, Li Wei hurriedly raised his head and said loudly: "The adults did not treat us and other small people as pigs and dogs, but treated us and others wholeheartedly, and tried every means to benefit us. ”
"Don't say that adults have actually done a lot of practical things for us, so that I and other poor people have hope, even if they don't do anything, as long as they have this intention, adults are thousands of times better than dog officials like Luan Yu! If adults can't afford this worship, who else in this world can?! ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen's heart suddenly sank, like a thousand things lying across his heart, making him breathe sluggishly.
Yes, how simple is it for the people to want?
As long as it doesn't harm them.
But even such a simple request could not be met by the Great Xia court.
Exorbitant taxes, hard labor, and the ingenuity of the powerful gentry......
Mountain after mountain weighed down on them, so that they could barely breathe.
If he didn't come to Yuzhou, what would the people here be like?
unimaginable.
It is not known how many people will die if the "smart people" make their own claims, or if they conscript people from poor areas to serve in the dam area in order to cover up a certain truth.
Once there was a popular uprising, the imperial court sent Yuzhou Wei and Sui Zhou Wei to join forces to suppress it bloodily, and the number of deaths was even more incalculable.
Not to mention the devastating impact of the flood bursting on both banks along the way.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Chen's heart became heavier and heavier.
Empress Dowager Zhao ruled Daxia for six years, which directly caused the people to almost lose even the most basic survival guarantee, and the Zhongxing situation left by the first emperor was directly destroyed beyond recognition, and the foundation of Daxia's rule was seriously shaken.
It is no wonder that the Quartet Rebel Army always kills and destroys, does not solve the fundamental problem, and relies on suppression alone to have a fart.
If you kill them all, aren't you afraid of hurting the heavens and the fairy road to be completely cut off?
And it's such a simple truth, in this world dominated by monks, there are still many people who can't understand it, or don't want to figure it out.
At this moment, Lu Chen clearly felt that this ancient world with supernatural powers was even more cruel than the ancient society of the world before he crossed over.
While thinking about it, the other people saw that he was silent, and they also comforted him.
It's hard to have a big man in the sky, but don't let this matter wear off your fighting spirit.
Lu Chen cleaned up his mood, and then comforted the villagers with a few words, asking them to live a good life, and the imperial court would not let this incident happen again in the future.
Then he personally helped Li Wei back to the house.
Only then did he notice that there were two other people in the house.
One man and one woman.
The former is dressed in green clothes, and the latter is dressed in red.
The atmosphere of the rivers and lakes is very heavy.
"Who are you?"
Lu Chen asked directly.
"Grass people Ye Fan."
"Folk girl Chai Hongyu."
"I've seen my lord!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen quickly remembered that he had heard these two names from Fang Yu before.
It was the two righteous men who rescued the remaining villagers of Gou'er Village.
"Oh, it's you."
Lu Chen nodded at the two.
"Adults remember me waiting?"
The two were a little flattered.
"Well, Fang Yu told the official."
Lu Chen smiled slightly, and then said to the two, "Have you received the reward money?" ”
Seeing that Lu Chen was polite and polite, he didn't hold himself up because of his identity at all, he looked down on the appearance of their children in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't show strange eyes because of her beauty, Chai Hongyu suddenly felt good, and said with emotion: He is worthy of being a big man who really cares about the people, and he is really different from those dog officials.
In the next second, she shook her head and said softly: "Lord Fang is in a hurry, and he is rewarded with money or something, but he can't get used to seeing Yu Wangwei brutalize the people, and he has no other thoughts, and he doesn't plan to receive the reward." ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen arched his hand towards the two: "Two strong men are noble."
Chai Hongyu: "."
She subconsciously lowered her head and looked at her figure.
Well, the top half is quite strong, but. It's not a strong man, is it?
Lu Chen said again: "Those two are here for."
Ye Fan took out a bottle of ointment from his arms, "As the so-called saving people to the end, I saw that this Brother Li was seriously injured, so I came over to take medicine for him to heal his injuries, so as not to hurt his bones and leave future troubles." ”
Li Wei on the side also spoke out in time to prove it.
"Oh, that's right."
Lu Chen bowed slightly.
"The two strong men have a heart."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Wei and saw that his complexion was ruddy, and there was probably nothing wrong with his body, so he opened his mouth and said to Li Wei: "Since this is the case, then the official can rest assured, you can take care of your injuries, the official still has some official business to deal with, so he won't stay long." ”
"Your Excellency's official duties are important."
Li Wei got up again and was about to send Lu Chen off.
Lu Chen waved his hand, then bowed his hand politely towards Chai Hongyu and Ye Fan, and said, "Thank you two for your righteous action, which saved more than 200 villagers of Gou'er Village and saved some face for the imperial court." ”
"Your Excellency is gracious."
"Eliminating violence and peace is the duty of my generation of cultivators."
Chai Hongyu and Ye Fan returned the salute and said a few polite words modestly.
It didn't take long for Lu Chen to leave Li Wei's farmhouse, ride on the imperial horse, and gallop towards Yuzhou City under the escort of Fu Huan.
And just as he galloped wildly, Chai Hongyu suddenly walked out of the door, and then quietly looked at Lu Chen's back as he walked away.
Recalling the scene of the people of Fangcaigouer Village who loved Lu Chen from the bottom of their hearts, her beautiful little face gradually revealed a trace of determination.
