Li Chenan's casual words shocked Xia Houzhuo who was standing behind him——

Ning Ren's sword should never be pointed at Ning Ren!

Ning Ren's sword is used to protect Ning Ren!

But he came with a knife to kill him...

How much of what he just said is true and how false is it?

If His Royal Highness was here, what would he do?

What will Li Chenan do next?

Xia Houzhuo looked up at Li Chenan's straight back. Although his inner strength was blocked by Miss Xiao, and although the dagger on his body was taken away by the young man named Amu, at such a close distance, he believed that he could punch with all his strength.

, even if you can't kill him, it's enough for him to drink a pot.

He didn't throw any punches.

He wanted to see what Li Chenan would do next.

Li Chenan didn't know that Xia Houzhuo without internal strength was still a dangerous existence.

At Zhou Zheng's order, the soldiers of Xuanjia Battalion all put away their swords and stood on both sides.

Li Chenan walked forward and stood in front of an old man opposite.

The old man looked up and saw that he had not seen Li Chenan, but he knew that this young man must be Li Chenan.

He knelt down quickly.

He only knelt halfway, and before his knees touched the ground, Li Chenan held him up.

A soft voice came from his ear:

"Old man, are you trying to break me?"

The old man was startled, then slowly stood up with Li Chenan's help.

He looked at Li Chenan in surprise!

very close.

By the light of the torch lantern, he saw the handsome young smiling face.

"Regent……!"

The old man's voice was trembling because he never expected that the powerful regent would be so easy-going!

He didn't even expect that this man would help him up with his own hands.

"I am Li Chenan!"

The group of people who came with all kinds of food had their eyes widened as they watched the young man help the old man up. Now when they heard it again, they realized that this young man was the regent.

The crowd was suddenly excited!

A few more old men suddenly let out an excited cheer at this moment——

"Caomin, meet the regent...!"

As the sound rang out, thousands of people hurriedly put down the food in their hands, and the guy knelt on the ground for a long time.

A voice from the mountains shouted: "Common people, pay your respects to the regent!"

The sound echoed in the night sky.

Xia Houzhuo, who was standing behind Li Chenan, was suddenly shocked——

What is this called?

This is called popular support!

The voices of these people came from the bottom of their hearts, and they knelt on the cold snow willingly!

Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world!

Although there are only a few thousand people here, they represent all the people in Ning State!

I think Li Chenan's actions to benefit the people have spread to Jiangnan Dao, and he has given these people hope for a better future.

Li Chenan shook his head and smiled:

"Fathers and fellow villagers, please get up!"

"Thank you, Prince Regent!"

The venerable old men led the people to stand up, each of them looking excited and excited.

They were extremely nervous when they arrived.

Because their status was extremely low, even in front of the county magistrate, they did not dare to raise their heads and look directly at him.

What's more, this is the regent of Ning State!

But the regent didn't have that arrogant air that made them extremely disgusted. Instead, he looked like an ordinary scholar.

This made all the people feel very comfortable. Even if they knew that this man was the regent, they all straightened up at this moment and looked directly at the regent with joy on their faces.

"Regent,"

The old man standing in front of Li Chen'an bowed and said, "We ordinary people can't help you much with things like war."

"We can only pray for you and hope that you can kill all those rebellious officials and traitors."

"Hearing the news of the regent's great victory, the little old man discussed with several respected clan leaders in Feng County, hoping to do something for the regent and his heavenly soldiers."

"So I called on the people of Feng County and made some inconspicuous food. I thought that the soldiers were all hungry. I hope, I hope the regent will not dislike it!"

When Li Chenan heard this, he took the old man's hand and asked, "What's your surname, old man?"

This move immediately flattered the old man, and his voice trembled slightly when he spoke:

"Old man, old man's surname is Liu, and his only name is the word "dong"!"

"Oh...Uncle Liu,"

The old man was startled again: "Young man, I would never dare to be called the regent like that!"

Li Chenan didn't pay attention. He still held Liu Dong's hand and looked at the common people.

"Fathers and fellow villagers are interested!"

"Speaking of which, we are indeed hungry!"

"The food you sent was just in time, and it's better than anything else."

As soon as he said these words, everyone immediately felt relieved.

After all, in the hearts of the common people, the regent probably only eats delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Although these meals are the best in their respective homes, how can they compare with the royal meals in the palace?

They were originally worried that the regent would refuse, but now the regent is clearly very happy.

So, they were even more happy and heard Li Chenan say sincerely:

"Ning Guo has gone through a lot of hardships over the years. I know that everyone's life is not very good."

"This ordeal is not a natural disaster, but... a man-made disaster!"

"I know that during the years when Ji Tai was in power, officials were replaced by rotten wood in the temples, and exorbitant taxes and levies were made one after another."

"It has enriched a large number of officials and made all the common people miserable!"

"Now, Ji Tai has been conferred, the officials in Kyoto have been replaced, and all the officials in Pingjiang City, Jiangnan Province have also been dismissed. What awaits them will be the judgment of the law!"

"From now on, no one who is guilty among the officials in Ning Kingdom will be able to escape!"

"Next, many measures to benefit the people will be vigorously implemented after the new officials take office!"

"Things will get better."

"Because Ningguo has you!"

"You are the cutest, hard-working and simple people!"

After Li Chenan finished speaking, there was thunderous applause.

Many people cried with joy, and many people cried loudly.

They were suffering in their hearts, but there was no need to talk about it at this moment.

Xia Houzhuo closed his eyes and completely gave up being cruel to Li Chenan.

He even had an idea... If Li Chenan ascended the throne as emperor, Ning Guo would really have a future.

Next, under Li Chenan's greeting, the soldiers took the food from the hands of the people.

Groups of small and large groups just sat on the snow and started eating.

Li Chenan invited the old men and brought some food to the barracks.

He sat at the same table with these old men, and also asked Xia Houzhuo to sit beside him.
