Chapter 1475: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (19)
The rogue army's attack on Qing'an County lasted for three more days.
The intensity is getting stronger day by day.
The so-called King of Pingtian, Li Zili, is simply crazy. He does not look like a qualified tyrant at all. He knows that Qing'an County is a very difficult bone to crack, but he still wants to use his claws to crush it.
Although there were piles of corpses under the city wall, due to the madness of the bandit leader, Qing'an County's defense force had reached a precarious level.
There is a possibility of being breached at any time.
On the morning of the fourth day, the garrison had just repelled a wave of bandits, and the soldiers collapsed to the ground one by one.
They were really tired and everyone was injured.
Some soldiers fell and never woke up.
"stand up!"
Ye Xiangming ordered in a hoarse voice: "Everyone, wake up, don't fall asleep, we are going to win."
The county magistrate had also reached his limit. He had dozens of large and small wounds on his body, all of which were sustained by his profound skills.
Continue to stand on the city wall.
"Mr. Wang."
At this time, a government official hurriedly found Wang Chen and said, "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, please come over. We have urgent matters to discuss."
Wang Chen nodded: "Okay."
He said hello to Ye Xiangming, and then followed the government official to the county government office.
Ye Xiangming, who was exhausted physically and mentally, was drowsy and didn't pay attention at first. When one of his subordinates brought him a water bag, he took a few sips and poured it on his head, forcing himself to wake up.
"not good!"
The county magistrate suddenly changed his expression!
At this moment, Wang Chen had arrived at the county government hall.
County magistrate Yu Heqian sat in the court hall reviewing official documents, with more than a dozen people sitting on the left and right sides.
Wang Chen recognized that these people were all prominent figures in Qing'an County, including gentry and wealthy businessmen, as well as two gang leaders.
Wang Chen stepped forward and bowed: "I have met you, sir."
Seeing Wang Chen, Yu Heqian immediately put down the brush in his hand: "Come here, give Mr. Wang a seat and serve tea!"
A yamen servant immediately moved the seats, and another brought hot tea.
"Thank you, sir."
Wang Chen was not polite. After sitting down, he took the tea cup and took a sip.
At this time, he didn't seem to notice at all the strange looks from the people around him!
"Mr. Wang."
Yu Heqian looked at Wang Chen with complicated eyes, as if he was struggling, but also with a bit of guilt and intolerance.
The county magistrate sighed: "I'm sorry, I don't want to do this."
Wang Chen smiled.
Without the slightest surprise or doubt, he asked: "Magistrate Yu, have you really thought about it?"
Yu Heqian replied expressionlessly: "You alone, and tens of thousands of people in the city, which one is more important? I have a clear conscience!"
As soon as he finished speaking, three tough warriors stepped out from the inner hall.
One of them was wearing iron armor, tall and burly, with a beard and tiger eyes, and his whole body exuded a cold blood-evil aura.
"This is Xiao Zhan, the number one general under King Pingtian."
Yu Heqian introduced: "He was ordered to take your head."
Wang Chen sighed: "Yu County Magistrate, collaborating with thieves is a serious crime against the nine clans."
Yu Heqian was not moved at all: "I only plan for the people in the city. Even if the court punishes me for this, I will admit it."
"Sir, you have no choice but to do so, and the court will forgive you."
"As long as we can save Qing'an County, what does this mean?"
"Whoever wants to say that your Excellency is collaborating with thieves, I am the first person who will not agree!"
??????????.??????
"That's right."
All the gentry and wealthy businessmen present spoke in support of Yu Heqian.
There was no way, and if possible, they didn't want to force the county magistrate to commit the crime.
During the past period, the large households in the county town suffered heavy losses. Not only did they have to provide money and food, they also had to send their children and servants to defend the city.
If the army of rogue bandits can be completely repulsed, such losses can still be tolerated.
However, the Pingtian Army continued to attack at all costs, causing more and more casualties. Seeing that the city wall was likely to be breached, these gentry naturally could not sit still.
They also knew the withdrawal conditions offered by Pingtian King Li Zili.
Although many people understand that rogue bandits are unreliable, what if they keep their promises?
It is better for Wang Chen to die alone than to be buried together!
These leading figures in Qing'an County acted very quickly after making their decision.
They first forced Gong Yu Heqian, and then secretly communicated with the bandits outside the city. Last night, they brought three masters from the Pingtian Army into the city to deal with the extremely powerful Wang Chen.
Yu Heqian said calmly: "Wang Chen, accept your fate, the cup of tea you just drank was laced with Hedinghong."
Wang Chen chuckled, opened his mouth and spit out a stream of tea.
He knew something was wrong with the cup of hot tea just now when he smelled it, so it didn't matter if he drank it.
Not to mention a mere cup of poisonous tea, even eating three kilograms of Hedinghong will not hurt Wang Chen at all!
The poisonous tea turned into an arrow and flew three steps away in an instant, hitting a gentry who was still making noise right in the face.
The latter had no time to dodge, and fell backwards and fell to the ground on the spot. His whole face was covered in blood and flesh, and he already gave out the air of death.
"die!"
The number one general under King Pingtian, Xiao Zhan, realized that something was not right, and immediately drew his sword and slashed at Wang Chen hard.
Wang Chen sat still and punched the blade in the middle.
collapse!
The sword instantly broke into two pieces, with the upper half flying back and piercing Xiao Zhan's chest.
His protective armor was like paper and did not play any defensive role.
"you!"
Xiao Zhan's eyes widened angrily, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
He was the number two figure in the Pingtian Army, and his strength had reached the level of a top-notch master in the world. The weapon he used was also a thousand-forged sword. In the end, the blow that contained 100% of his power was broken by Wang Chenkong's punch.
Half of the blade penetrated the thug's chest and tore out his heart!
The others were about to attack Wang Chen together, but their main force was killed on the spot, leaving everyone stunned.
Huge fear arises in everyone's heart.
"Ah!"
Wang Chen sneered and suddenly crushed the tea cup in his hand.
The next moment, dozens of pieces of porcelain were shot out. The surrounding group of gentry and wealthy merchants, two gang leaders, and two other thieves were all hit, and they fell to the ground screaming.
Wang Chen stood up and looked at the expressionless Yu Heqian in the courtroom: "Magistrate Yu, do you have any last words?"
Yu Heqian's lips trembled twice, and he said quietly: "I, I am an official of the imperial court..."
puff!
A piece of porcelain pierced the center of his eyebrow.
Wang Chen flicked his fingers and said calmly: "I know, but it's useless."
At this moment, a figure rushed into the lobby like a gust of wind.
It was Ye Xiangming.
However, the scene in front of him made the county magistrate completely speechless!——
