More and more people from Longjiao County appeared on this long street, holding various things in their hands. Their eyes gradually suppressed the fear and nervousness, and replaced them with an unparalleled determination.
All the people have the same idea at this moment.
That is, even if they all die here, the young guardian envoy cannot be allowed to die here!
If you can't exchange one person's life for his life, then exchange it for hundreds of lives! .??.
The two Taoists looked at each other and said nothing.
Even if these common people fill up this street, it will not help. In front of Taoists like them, they are all ants and will not have any impact on them.
Naturally, there is no way to stop them.
There was a sound of horse hooves in the distance.
A bearded man rode his horse to the front of the long street. He dismounted without hesitation and was not sloppy at all. Then the man ran into the street and shouted angrily, "If you want to kill the guardian envoy, kill me, Zhao Ge, first!"
As this man came here, several more riders came here. They also dismounted. The leading woman, with a heroic appearance, came to the street and said in a deep voice, "Protect the Lord Guard!"
Several people immediately drew out their swords and blocked Chen Chao behind them. These low-level people stared at the two Taoists in the distance, with no fear in their eyes, only the purest killing intent!
Seeing the appearance of these people who were obviously Lian Jiazi, the scholar who appeared first also became energetic. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Those who work for everyone must not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow!"
"Neighbors, protect the envoy!"
"Yes, the guardian envoy has done so many things for us, we must also do something for the guardian envoy!"
"Yes, even if my whole family dies today, the guardian envoy cannot die!"
"Damn it, these bastards from outside the country actually want to kill the guardian envoy. I can't wait to smash their heads!"
"Don't worry, sir. With us here, no one can hurt you!"
"Fuck you, let's fight them. They want to kill the guardian envoy, but they won't let us live a good life!"
"Yes, if they don't let us live well, then we won't even have to live anymore!"
No matter how honest a person is, there are times when he is angered, and no matter how cowardly a person is, there are times when he is brave. These people live at the bottom of the world. In the eyes of those monks who are above them, their opinions, their demands, and their
Emotions are never ignored at all, because they are weak enough to make them disappear without any effort.
But no matter how weak people are, they will not let others bully them all their lives. They still have something to hold on to.
The common people have truly felt what the imperial court has done in the past ten years, and even in the past two hundred years. They know that in the past two hundred years, life has become better day by day, and they can have enough to eat.
His Majesty the Emperor is working hard for them.
There is actually a very interesting story recorded in the history of Emperor Taizong of Daliang. It is said that one day Emperor Taizong inspected the people's situation and met a farmer's daughter in the fields. After the little girl knew the identity of Emperor Taizong, she asked Emperor Taizong.
asked a question.
"What is an emperor?"
This question was very simple and innocent, and had no other meaning. However, the courtiers who were with Emperor Taizong at that time were stopped and did not know how to answer this question.
As for Emperor Taizong, after thinking for a moment, he told the little girl the answer with a smile.
"I don't know what the emperors of other dynasties do, but in the Liang Dynasty, the emperor is the one who works hard for you people to live a better life."
Emperor Taizong was of course a wise king. During the years he was in power, he always stuck to what he said and worked hard to make the people of Daliang live a better life.
After Emperor Taizong died, Emperor Lingzong succeeded to the throne and did the same thing.
But just having a full meal is not enough.
So Emperor Liang and Chen Chao appeared.
A dozen years ago, Emperor Daliang was telling monk Fang Wai that you can no longer bully the people of Daliang as you did before. But in the past few years, it was Chen Chao who was telling monk Fang Wai that if you still bully the people of Daliang, then
You all just go to hell.
Because of Chen Chao, the grievances that the people had been accumulating in their chests could be expressed. Especially after the people left, Chen Chao became the big tree behind them.
Perhaps the young guard envoy was outside the country and his reputation in the court was not very good, but that was not what the people cared about.
The common people only know that this young guard takes them at heart. They have been wronged. If this young guard knows, he will definitely seek justice for them!
Such a guardian envoy should not die at all!
If he dies and suffers any injustice in the future, will anyone stand up and seek justice for them like him?!
Is there more?!
The people were furious. Let alone these two Taoist masters here, I am afraid that even if the Demon Emperor comes to the human territory again, these people will not leave.
Zhao Ge, a bearded man, squeezed into Chen Chao's side at some point. The middle-aged man lowered his voice and said, "Lord Guardian, leave quickly!"
Chen Chao glanced at him but did not respond.
Zhao Ge said anxiously, "You can't die here. You go first. I'll hold them back with them. How can I get some life for you!"
Chen Chao shook his head and asked, "Brother, if I shouldn't die here, should you die here?"
Zhao Ge frowned, "Your life is more valuable than ours. As long as you are still alive, Daliang will
It’s getting better and better. As for us...we...it doesn’t matter if we die..."
Looking at this man with whom he had been getting along for a long time, Chen Chao shook his head and said calmly, "It does matter."
"I am the guardian envoy of the Liang Dynasty. The monthly salary I receive from the court is the taxes you pay. In other words, the people support the officials, and the officials must do what they should do for the people."
Having said this, Chen Chao paused and said with a smile, "There is no reason to let the common people die while the officials have to live."
Zhao Ge was speechless.
At this moment, the two Taoists were ready to move forward. The person standing in front of them was a strong man. He was a nearby butcher. The butcher knife that Chen Chao had before actually belonged to his family.
"This is just a grudge between us. If you dare to hurt the common people today, as long as I can survive today, I will kill any relatives and friends who have anything to do with you in the world, even if I am in poverty or hell.
Find them and kill them all!"
A voice sounded in the crowd.
The voice was not very loud, but its tone was cold and had the strongest warning meaning.
The two Taoists stopped and looked at each other. Neither of them doubted the authenticity of this sentence. Chen Chao's title outside the country was "Devil", but for him, even the monks who were not familiar with him would know it.
Four words came to mind instantly.
Violence must be repaid!
In the past years, no one has ever escaped unscathed after provoking this young guardian envoy.
Therefore, in response to Chen Chao's warning, the two Taoists subconsciously remained silent for a moment.
"Brother Dao, don't think so much. He will die today. Talking so much is just to delay time. If he dies, everything will return to dust. Why is there such trouble?"
The Taoist wearing a green robe spoke slowly, with some disdain in his voice.
But the white-robed Taoist shook his head and said, "That's wrong. After he dies, there will still be a Daliang Dynasty. Depending on his relationship with the prince, the Daliang Dynasty will avenge him in the future."
If they come to kill Chen Chao, the two of them can die, but for this they should not continue to involve others.
"Your Majesty the Guardian, we don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Every injustice has its owner and its debtor has its owner. As long as the Guardian doesn't hide behind them, we don't need to kill anyone."
After thinking for a moment, the white-robed Taoist spoke slowly, giving them their choice.
This also confirmed their fear of Chen Chao, otherwise they would not have made changes because of these words.
Chen Chao took a deep breath, pushed Zhao Ge aside, and walked over.
When Chen Chao walked past her, Lu Qingling suddenly grabbed Chen Chao's sleeve and frowned, "Your Majesty the Guardian!"
Chen Chao turned to look at the woman and smiled, "Can you stop her? If you can't, why waste your life in vain."
explain
As he spoke, he broke away from Lu Qingling's hand, but soon a figure appeared in front of him, blocking Chen Chao's way.
The other people around him quickly gathered around and blocked Chen Chao.
Chen Chao frowned.
"Lord Guardian, we may not have much ability, but today, no matter what, you cannot die until we are done!"
A man tightened his grip on the hatchet in his hand and said hoarsely, "Lord Guardian, you have protected us many times, let us protect you just once!"
"Yes, protect the guardian envoy!"
A group of people, including men, women, old and young, all raised what they were holding.
Chen Chao's eyes were moist and he was speechless. He only felt a little warm in his heart.
The things you have to do are like walking on a muddy road in a storm, but what these people are doing today is like someone handing you a lantern, even if it doesn't change anything.
, but it always allows you to see the way forward in the dark.
In the distance, noisy footsteps sounded, and a group of soldiers arrived.
At the same time, there were also officials from the county magistrate's office and officials from the garrison envoy's yamen who came here.
The local envoy was a man in his early thirties, and he immediately shouted loudly, "Thieves, don't touch the envoy, sir, my officer Song Qing is here!"
"Longjiao Camp, listen to my general's order, protect the envoy and kill him!"
The general in charge of garrisoning here was a tall and thick man. At this moment, he simply put on a pair of iron armor and carried an iron spear, and then he rode towards the two Taoists!
The two Taoists looked at this scene and felt that it was extremely absurd. All the people here together would not be able to survive even a moment under their hands. They seemed to know it, but even so, they would die regardless.
?!
What on earth is it for?!
The two Taoist masters who have practiced Taoism for decades couldn't understand. Since they couldn't understand, there was no need to think about it. After the two looked at each other again, they no longer hesitated and decided to take action to kill these common people.
Kill, no matter what, I must kill Chen Chao today.
"Get the hell away!"
An angry shout sounded again.
A terrifying sound instantly overturned the armored general, and at the same time made the captured Longjiao County garrison take a few steps back.
As for the soldiers, they fell one after another.
The person who did all this was not Chen Chao, who was obviously exhausted, but Huang Kong, who had been injured by Chen Chao before. This thin young man, who did not know when, came to the forefront of the people.
He raised his sword.
The two Taoists looked at each other and asked in confusion, "Huang Kong, what are you doing?!"
Huang Kong was too lazy to say anything more, so he just said fiercely, "I am also a commoner now!"
