"General Liu said that he dared to use his life to guarantee the emperor that he did not want to use these children to refine elixirs, but why do you dare to use your life to guarantee your life? Children... are the future of a country! Who can guarantee the future or general... or
The talent of the prime minister is not from these children?! Is your life alone?... Is it more noble than a thousand children?! How dare you say that your life guarantees such a thing!"
Liu Hong's face turned pale and could not even say a word.
"The emperor's ruler?! Ha! At that time... the imperial power will take the lives of these thousand children! The ruling will take the lives of these thousand children! General Liu... Can your death be exchanged for the lives of these children?!" Bai
Qing Yan asked coldly, "Did General Liu forget about the fact that King Liang used children to refine pills and gave them to the emperor for taking them?! We all know that this was done by King Liang, and who did King Liang take the order.
?!Why did the emperor try to keep King Liang safe afterwards?! General Liu! Have you really forgotten it?!"
"As soldiers, what are we fighting in blood?! We are trying to protect the people! But look! Open your eyes wide and look!" Bai Qingyan pointed to those who were full of tears and seemed to have hatred.
People, "They are the people we sacrifice our lives to protect! But the emperor regards them as grass, and regards the lives of these children as grass! If you abandon the people for the sake of the imperial power and monarchy, you are worthy of your dead brothers?! You are worthy of your dead
Soldier?!"
What Bai Qingyan said was loud and loud, and Liu Hong was almost moved by Bai Qingyan.
"What kind of virtue is our emperor! General Liu knows better than me! Selfishness, for his own selfish desires..."
"Princess of Zhenguo!" Liu Hong interrupted Bai Qingyan's words, his eyes were so bitter that he whispered, "Don't forget, you are a minister of Jin! You, the princess of Zhenguo, are all conferred by His Majesty!"
"I won't be this princess in the country." Bai Qingyan threw the whip in her hand. She turned around and faced Liu Hong seriously. "The descendants of the Bai family were born to learn the four words of protecting the people and maintaining the people!
The Bai family army will not die in battle but will not take off their armor. It is to protect the peace and peace of the people. It is never for the emperor's power and monarch! Whether it is Bai Qingyan or Bai Jinzhi... I sacrifice my life to fight to the death, it is never for the royal family! It is for...
…Taxes are provided to our people! Whoever hurts the people, whoever... is my Bai Qingyan, the mortal enemy of my Bai family and even the entire Bai family army!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense between Liu Hong and Bai Qingyan, and there was a moment of tension.
The people who knelt on the ground and begged Bai Qingyan could not see what was going on? They all looked at Bai Qingyan... The eyes were filled with tears. The princess of Zhenguo was trying to protect the people!
The people of Jin State passed down from generation to generation, saying that the Bai family is the backbone of Jin State, saying that the Bai family is the pillar of Jin State, and saying that the Bai family army is an army that protects and loves the people is true!
"Princess Zhenguo! You want... want..." Liu Hong was afraid to say the word "rebellion" for a long time, because he was not sure whether the hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers brought back to Jin, including Yang Wuce, would be whether the 100,000 surrendered soldiers, including Yang Wuce, would be, whether they would be fine if they had been brought back to Jin.
Will listen to his orders.
No... these surrendered soldiers would never obey his orders. He knew just now when he saw Yang Wuce's reaction. Yang Wuce only obeyed the orders of the princess in Zhenguo.
"Princess Zhenguo!" The county magistrate of Chunmucheng tiptoed and stretched his neck, shouting into the inside through Yang Wuce and others' tall soldiers, "Princess Zhenguo! Xiaguan is the parents of Chunmucheng, please see him
Princess of the Town!"
Bai Qingyan, who stood with his hands behind his back, turned to look at the government office and said, "Let him come in!"
Liu Hong held his breath, but he was a little weak and did not dare to force Bai Qingyan to say the word "anti-word". He stood aside with anger, but he was thinking about how he should deal with it.
The county magistrate of Chunmucheng avoided the tip of Yang Wuce's knife and carefully closed his stomach and squeezed in from the gap between the soldiers blocking outside the government office. He carried the hem of the government and ran to Bai Qingyan to kneel down.
"The princess in Zhenguo clearly understands that the capital has issued an imperial edict, and ordered the officials to gather 100 boys and girls in Chunmu City. On the fourth day of the fifth month, we must be delivered to the ninth level of the platform! But we are really unable to get together in Chunmu City.
Guan and General Li, the general guarding the city, bought more than a dozen children, but it was too late to send the children to the Jiuchuntai on the fourth day of the fifth month. We spent all our money and begged the envoys who came to pick up the children.
I promised that as long as I could set off this afternoon, I would like to speak well in front of His Majesty, to see if I could forgive the people of Chunmucheng for delay. Now... I just missed the two who were saved by the princess of Zhenguo today.
Boys and girls can set out to Jiuchongtai!"
The county magistrate looked up at Bai Qingyan: "It doesn't matter if the official is not protecting his or her head, but he is afraid that the emperor will get angry and the people will suffer!"
On the way here, the county magistrate already knew that Bai Qingyan had saved two children outside the city.
"The princess in Zhenguo doesn't know anything. Not only Chunmu City, but also Longyang City, Puwen City, Youhua City... One hundred boys and girls were all assigned to the top! The general guarding the city of Longyang City and the county magistrate heard that
The two of them did not obey such an imperial edict, but the head was not said by the envoy who came to pass the imperial edict, and the wife and daughter were not spared! There were also people in Longyang City who ran away with their children all night... but they were arrested and they were all killed.
The whole family and neighbors were killed!" The county magistrate couldn't help crying when he said this, and was sincerely sad. "Your Majesty also issued an order to recruit adult men from a radius of hundreds of miles to build the Nine-Level Platform, and a deadline is required
If you arrive at Jiushutai, otherwise it will be a dead end. It will harm the whole family, and many people have been killed!"
Liu Hong opened his eyes wide, his fist behind him trembled, and he treated his own people with such cruel means.
Laws like even the seat have long been abandoned because of their cruelty, and now they are becoming more prevalent in Jin State.
"I thought that the child was sent to the Nine-Level Platform, but I might not be using the child's life to refine the alchemy? Although the hope is slim, it is always easier... All the people in a city were killed!" said the county magistrate.
Go forward, look at the people who protect their children behind them, and bow to their heads, "I'm sorry to you, as your parents, but you can't protect our children in Chunmu City!"
As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, he heard a child calling him father and running towards the county magistrate.
Only then did the people recognize that the seven-year-old child was actually the county magistrate's child!
When the county magistrate saw his son, tears suddenly burst out. He hugged the child and cried bitterly, and said to the people: "I bought the child not to replace my own child, but because we really can't get enough of it in Chunmu City.
!”
The seven-year-old child hid in the county magistrate's arms and cried loudly, and the purchased children stood aside, without any parents, and seemed at a loss.
