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 that 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 thing 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 figure out 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 say anything nonsense."
Ye Chen nodded approvingly. It seemed that 390 was quite smart. When he was unsure of his origins, 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 made all the dead soldiers and their families stunned.
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.
