At this time, the dead soldiers who were kneeling on the ground waiting for the special envoy and their families did not know that the man in black robes in front of them was no longer the special envoy they thought.
According to regulations, on the day when the antidote is distributed, all deceased soldiers and their relatives must line up in advance in this tens of thousands of square meters hall to wait, and the moment they see the special envoy, they must kneel down to greet them.
Seeing so many people kneeling on the ground, Ye Chen was shocked by the scene in front of him.
This underground world with an area of tens of thousands of square meters and a height of more than ten meters, coupled with those huge supporting columns and the bright-as-day lighting at the top, makes this space have a sense of a magnificent ancient palace. In addition,
Thousands of people knelt in front of them, and when they said the same sentence in unison, the echo made the entire underground space tremble.
Ye Chen looked at these people and couldn't help but frown, and asked loudly: "Are they forcing you to kneel, or did you take the initiative to kneel?"
One sentence made all the dead soldiers look horrified.
This was the first time they heard the envoy say something other than the prescribed lines.
The so-called set lines are nothing more than asking everyone to thank the British Lord for giving the antidote, and everyone should go all out to be loyal to the British Lord, and so on.
Therefore, in their impression, the special envoy is more like a human repeater machine. Every time he comes here, he only has two things to do. One is to supervise the Cavalry Guards in distributing medicine to the dead soldiers, and the other is to repeat the words that these dead soldiers will never believe.
, and don’t care about nonsense at all.
And Ye Chen suddenly said such a sentence out of the blue, which really shocked their hearts. They couldn't understand what happened to this special envoy, who dared to speak like this, and even said "they".
Who are they? Aren't they the Qingqing Society?
However, isn’t the special envoy himself a member of the Qing Society?
Then he should say "us" instead of "them"!
Just when everyone was confused, Ye Chen asked again: "Who is the commander among you? Stand up and speak!"
A middle-aged man in the center of the first row slowly stood up and said loudly: "My subordinate No. 390 is the person in charge here."
Ye Chen chuckled and asked him: "To answer my question just now, did they force you to kneel here to greet the special envoy, or did you take the initiative to kneel?"
Thirty-ninety-nine looked around and said with a somewhat uneasy expression: "Special envoy, we kneel here to welcome you and the antidote given by the British Lord. This has always been a tradition. Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Playing football, right?"
390 quickly bowed and said: "I don't dare! I don't represent myself, but the three to four thousand men, women, and children behind me, so naturally I don't dare to talk nonsense."
Ye Chen nodded approvingly. It seemed that 390 was a bit smart. When he was unsure of his background, he did not speak too slowly, nor did he appear to be too sincere towards Po Qing. Instead, he treated Ye Chen's
The problem is defined in terms of "tradition". In this way, it can be considered that one can advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
Ye Chen did not embarrass him too much, but slowly took off his black robe and showed his true face to everyone.
This move left all the dead soldiers and their families dumbfounded.
They have never seen the true face of any special envoy, because according to the regulations of the Po Qing Association, the dead soldiers can only meet with specific knight guards, and other than that, they are not allowed to face anyone else from this organization.
The reason is mainly because of the special status of the dead soldiers. Once they go out, they are going to perform important tasks. It is necessary to prevent them from recognizing any members of the Qingqing Society when performing tasks.
Therefore, every special envoy who comes here is dressed in black robes and uses a black hat to cover his face.
But this time, Ye Chen suddenly broke this long-standing rule, which made all the dead soldiers involuntarily nervous.
Seeing the horrified and panicked expressions on everyone's faces, Ye Chen said calmly: "To tell you the truth, I am not the special envoy of the Po Qing Society. The real envoy has been controlled by me. Now, all the knights have sworn allegiance.
For me, fight side by side with me against the entire Po Qing Society, so I came here to ask you if you are willing to fight side by side with me like them?!"
As soon as Ye Chen said these words, the whole audience was in an uproar!
No one thought that things would be so unexpected!
While being shocked, 390 couldn't help but said: "Sir, if what you say is true, then none of us will survive today, even if you get the antidote from the real envoy.
, it can only allow us to live for one more week. Even if we want to fight side by side with you, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it."
The words of 390 made all the shocked dead soldiers feel extremely depressed for a moment.
Everyone knows that what 390 said is right.
Once there is no antidote, they will soon be poisoned and die. Even if they want to fight to the death with Po Qinghui, they may not be able to wait until the day they kill the enemy in front of the battle array.
Ye Chen looked at 390 and the dead soldiers at this time, and asked curiously: "Are you willing to be controlled by the Qing Society for the rest of your life, or are you willing to fight them to the death?"
390 blurted out: "Of course we are willing to fight to the death, but how can we have such a chance? For hundreds of years, the dead soldiers have been tightly controlled by the organization, not to mention that the residence for hundreds of years is comparable to a prison.
, the poison in our body alone is destined to make us unable to resist at all, let alone resisting the Po Qinghui, we don’t even have the ability to resist the Knight Cavalry and escape from here..."
Ye Chen smiled and asked loudly: "If I can completely remove the poison in your body, are you willing to fight them to the death?"
No. 390 said without thinking: "If sir can really detoxify our bodies, No. 390 is willing to follow you all our lives and do your best for him!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly, looked around, and asked: "Where are the others? Are you willing?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion for a while.
If what Ye Chen said was true, they would naturally be willing.
However, at this time, they couldn't believe the "what if" Ye Chen said.
Because, for so many years, so many people have been trying to fight against the poison in their bodies, but no one has succeeded.
In the minds of the dead men, poison is like an invisible shackle that they cannot break free of for life. It is like the force of gravity to themselves. They have no ability to fight against it, and they cannot expect it to disappear completely.
Therefore, when everyone faced Ye Chen's bold words at this time, they didn't know how to answer for a while.
At this time, someone whispered from below: "Could this be a strategy used by the organization to test our sincerity?"
As soon as these words came out, others all agreed and began to discuss in low voices below.
Even No. 390 couldn't help but tremble when he heard this.
He also couldn't tell whether Ye Chen was an enemy or a friend.
Ye Chen took out an antidote at this time, looked at 390, and said calmly: "Since you were the first to express your stance, let's set an example for them."
After that, he threw the antidote towards 390 and said loudly: "Taking this antidote will completely eliminate the poison in your body. You decide whether you are brave enough to give it a try!"
390 stretched out his hand to grab the antidote that was thrown. He just glanced at it and said without thinking: "Sir, he should be the first outsider to find this place in hundreds of years. Based on this alone, I believe
gentlemen!"
After saying that, he immediately put the antidote into his mouth without hesitation!
