"Princess of the country, the lower rank... If the lower rank was not worried about the innocent death of the people, they would not have sent people to capture these children like this. The lower rank is also a father! People have a strong heart... How can the lower rank bear it?"
His eyes were red and his heart was filled with powerless despair.
"Dad...Dad doesn't cry!Dad doesn't cry!" The seven-year-old child in the county magistrate's arms stretched out his hand and wiped his tears for the county magistrate.
"Son!" The county magistrate held the child's hand tightly, lowered his head and kissed the child's eyebrows, burst into tears, "Dad... I'm sorry for you! Dad, I'm sorry for you!"
Liu Hong's eyes were hot, and he turned his head and didn't dare to look again.
Bai Qingyan gritted his teeth, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, reached out and helped the county magistrate with weak legs up, and turned to look at the people who were kneeling: "From now on, where Bai Qingyan will go
, no more children will be sent to the Metropolitan City!”
"Yang Wuce!" Bai Qingyan shouted.
Yang Wuce responded and came in from outside the door and knelt on one knee: "The last one is here!"
"Take people immediately and capture the envoy who came to pick up the children. You don't have to bring them to me and just put them in prison!" Bai Qingyan looked at the county magistrate again, "Send someone to lead the way!"
"Yes!" Yang Wuce ordered Yang Wei to take twenty people and leave with the yamen runners.
"Where is General Li who is guarding the city?!" Bai Qingyan looked at the county magistrate.
When the county magistrate heard this, his face turned pale and his eyes were down and he dared not speak.
At this time, General Li brought more than a dozen loyal subordinates to set up an ambush on the official road outside the city, preparing to sacrifice his life on the way to Dadu with his envoys to take their children to Dadu... to see if they could save these children.
"Tell me the truth!" Bai Qingyan walked to the county magistrate.
"Return... Return to the princess of Zhenguo, General Li brought people to set up an ambush on the official road outside the city, preparing to... rescue the children of Chunmu City!" After saying that, the county magistrate took two steps towards Bai Qingyan,
"Princess Zhenguo, please don't blame General Li. Among the children recruited this time, there are almost usually orphans whose fathers died on the battlefield. General Li... just can't bear it!"
"Okay!" Bai Qingyan couldn't help but praise, "This is our role model! A soldier with blood and hard nature! You send someone to invite General Li back and tell General Li... Bai Qingyan entrusted him to guard Chunmu.
In the city, no child can be taken away!"
The county magistrate was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed to Bai Qingyan, turned around and ordered: "Go quickly! Go and call General Li back!"
Soon Yang Wuce brought the envoy who came to Chunmucheng to pick up the child: "Princess Zhenguo, this envoy is not seeing you, but outside the door. If you don't see him, I will be imprisoned directly to the jail.
”
The envoy stretched his neck and looked in. Seeing Bai Qingyan, who was dressed in military uniform, he shivered all over and shouted, "Princess Zhenguo, I am the envoy sent by His Majesty.
, It means Your Majesty! You can take me with you casually, and do you still have your Majesty in your eyes? You are not afraid that Your Majesty will punish you for being disrespectful!"
"No need to see you... lock it up!" Bai Qingyan spoke.
"Princess of the Kingdom!" Liu Hong's eyebrows were thrust, "That's the person sent by His Majesty. You can call in and ask clearly why he treated His Majesty's envoy like this! In your eyes..."
Liu Hong's speech came to an abrupt end, and the princess in Zhenguo's eyes... there was no emperor anymore.
The princess of Zhenguo is afraid that she will rebel.
Liu Hong realized it now, but it was too late...
Even Yang Wuce or the surrendered soldiers of Daliang would not obey his transfer.
Now all the Jin army that could be heard from him were in Hancheng and was controlled by Princess Gaoyi.
Liu Hong closed his eyes. His Majesty issued such a decree and recruited these children with such tough means. I think if these children were really sent to the Nine-Level Platform, they would probably not be able to survive!
Thinking about what I saw and heard in Chunmu City today, Chunmu City is just a corner... You can see the whole picture with one corner. Liu Hong already knew what the situation would be like in Jin's country now.
Not long after, General Li, the city guarding general in Chunmu Mountain, came back with his soldiers in a strong outfit and knelt beside the county magistrate: "The last general Li Tianbao, have seen the princess of Zhenguo!"
"General Li can sacrifice his life to protect the people, Bai Qingyan admires!" Bai Qingyan bowed to Li Tianbao and shouted loudly, "From today, if someone comes again to send an order to bring the children in Chunmucheng into the capital, whether it is holding hands.
Whether it is an imperial edict or a gold medal! General Li and the county magistrate are not allowed to let it go, so they are detained! General Li and the county magistrate act according to my order, and I, Bai Qingyan, bear all the consequences alone! Chunmucheng asks General Li and the county magistrate
It's a sir!"
Li Tianbao and the county magistrate's eyes turned red. They had known the name of the princess of Zhenguo as the god of war, but they did not expect that the princess of Zhenguo would dare to do anything to protect the people.
The county magistrate bowed his head and grabbed the ground with his head. Li Tianbao clasped his fists with his hands, and the two of them responded solemnly...
"Don't worry, Princess Zhenguo! I will swear to guard Chunmu City to the death."
"Don't worry, Princess Zhenguo! The official vowed to guard Chunmu City to the death."
After coming out of Chunmu City, Liu Hong remained silent. He didn't know whether Bai Qingyan wanted to rebel against the emperor and then support the prince to ascend the throne. If so, it would be fine. At least Bai Qingyan would go back to quell the rebellion.
Liu Hong looked at Bai Qingyan's upright back and was more willing to believe that although Bai Qingyan was disappointed with the emperor, he did not want to rebel against the entire royal family.
Liu Hong thought of the county magistrate and General Li Tianbao, who was guarding the city, sent them out of the city and said that the imperial edict that he would force a thousand boys and girls was sent to him, saying that he could only hold gold medal arrows or emperor's imperial edicts.
Only by defending the city’s generals allowed someone to lead troops through the official road.
If Liu Hong guessed well, it should have been the King of Liang who was to guard against him and Bai Qingyan, but now it seems... this imperial edict would probably not be able to restrain Bai Qingyan.
Today's Spring Mountain is spreading... As long as the name of the princess of the country and the black sail and white python flag are lit, all the city guards who have the heart to protect and love the people will open the door one after another.
Seeing Bai Qingyan and his party back, the soldiers who were sitting by the road resting stood up.
Now Bai Jinxiu is still in the capital, and the emperor and King Liang have made a deal with the throne. Bai Qingyan guesses... Bai Jinxiu will definitely not let King Liang ascend the throne smoothly. She has to rush back as soon as possible, otherwise... she is afraid that Bai Jinxiu will delay in order to delay.
When she came back, she would be defeated by Liang Wang.
Bai Qingyan pulled his horse and glanced at the soldiers and said, "Lin Kangle, Yang Wei..."
Lin Kangle and Yang Wei, who had just returned with Bai Qingyan, immediately left the list: "The last one is here!"
"I ordered you two to take 30,000 soldiers and head straight to the direction of the Jiuchuntai. Be sure to save the children who have been sent to the Jiuchuntai. No mistakes should be made! If someone kills the people because of the construction of the Jiuchuntai, the entire army does not have to show mercy and behead them immediately.
Absolute! Let's go immediately!"
"Yes!" Yang Wei jumped on the horse and planned to tell Lin Kangle what he saw in the government office on the road later.
