Chapter 1370: Destroying the Village

Bai Tu was a young general. The highest official he had ever seen in his life was an angel, the messenger of the emperor. Of course, this did not mean that he had no rights. As a local official, Bai Tu was a local emperor, managing a piece of land in Dongjun. He had the right to exercise the power of life and death.

This time, Bai Tu received an order to lead a team of infantry to surround the village where the meteorite was found, and drove all the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the village together.

The villagers did not resist, or perhaps they were powerless to resist. The young and strong had been captured as laborers, and now there were only some powerless people in the village.

Bai Tu had a man named Zhong Li Mei under his command. He was handsome and good-looking, and the armor he wore was more handsome than that of the Qin army. At this time, he saw Bai Tu driving all the villagers out of the village, and he felt bad. He knew his superior and would never do something thankless. He also thought that a meteorite had been found here some time ago, and the meteorite was taken away by an angel from Xianyang, so he felt that something was wrong.

"Go." The soldiers shouted fiercely, but as a local force, they didn't have to fight. These soldiers were not elite soldiers, but only ruffians. They were also pale and thin, and could not be compared with Zhongli Mei at all.

Not only was he handsome, but he was also so high-profile, as if he wanted to tell everyone that Zhongli Mei was not an ordinary person.

In fact, Zhongli Mei was indeed not an ordinary person. He was originally a Chu countryman and a general with unparalleled archery skills. After the fall of Chu, he joined the Qin army and became a glorious soldier. But because of Zhongli Mei's high-profile appearance, he was not very popular in the army.

At this time, Zhongli Mei stood in front of Bai Tu: "Sir, I wonder what the villagers are for?"

"It's not your turn to make decisions when we execute orders." Bai Tu said lightly.

Zhongli Mei's mouth twitched, but he was powerless. It was not a good thing to rebel against superiors in the army.

Watching these helpless villagers being driven to the village entrance rudely, Zhongli Mei's chest was filled with uneasiness.

"All soldiers, assemble." Bai Tu gave the order, and the soldiers also showed a trace of uneasiness. Many of them had never killed anyone. Now such a big battle, I am afraid that blood will be shed. Although these soldiers usually bully the villagers, it is indeed difficult for them to kill the villagers in front of them.

Bai Tu drew his sword, and his expression was ferocious and ready to kill. He had killed people, so he could become the leader of the army, and he still had some blood in his body.

No, Zhongli Mei finally knew what Bai Tu was going to do. He was going to kill all these villagers: "General?!"

Bai Tu ignored Zhongli Mei and shouted: "All troops, listen to the order, spears and spears!"

Although the soldiers were uneasy, they did not dare to disobey the orders of their superiors. They lowered their weapons and pointed them at the helpless villagers.

The villagers also realized that their death was approaching, and their faces were miserable. They had no tears. They had already shed all their tears when their families were broken up. At this time, they all had dull eyes and numb limbs.

Escape? Can't escape.

Fight? Can't fight.

What can they do? They were just desperate.

Zhongli Mei was motionless, he was struggling, he could shoot Bai Tu, but he would also end up dead. But he couldn't just watch the villagers die in vain, it was against his principles.

"Look at your bears, you are eating and drinking for free and extorting money on weekdays, you are holding your spears forward, killing!" Bai Tu was very unhappy with the cowardly attitude of the surrounding soldiers: "Kill them, don't leave any."

Zhongli Mei knew that he couldn't wait any longer, he put on the good bow and the arrow was already on the string: "Bai Tu, stop!"

Bai Tu saw that he was being targeted, his face darkened: "Zhongli Mei, what are you doing?"

"What crime did these people commit?" Zhongli Mei asked instead of answering.

"The higher-ups want them to die, there is no need for an excuse, if you kill me, there will be others to execute the order, no one in this village can survive." Bai Tu, who usually acts arrogantly, was a bit of backbone at this time.

Zhongli Mei looked unhappy, because he knew that what Bai Tu said was right. These villagers had no place to stay. Damn, has the Qin Dynasty become so rotten? Don't you even need a reason to kill people?

"Zhongli Mei, I know you want to be a hero, but you have to see the situation clearly. You can't protect these people." Bai Tu sneered.

Zhongli Mei was even more entangled. He wanted to save people, but he didn't have a perfect rescue plan. At this time, he didn't know how to act.

Meng Jiangnu in the crowd lowered her head, fearing that she would be discovered and insulted by the soldiers. However, she still secretly looked at Zhongli Mei, a hero. Even if she failed to take action for the villagers, Meng Jiangnu would remember him.

It's a pity that the situation is urgent and cannot be changed by Zhongli Mei.

Meng Jiangnu could only nod and wait for death. Although she was unwilling, she was powerless.

However, at this moment, it was Duran's opportunity to appear.

"When the king raises his army, how can he say he has no clothes? Isn't it a pleasure to unite against the common enemy?" Above the nine heavens, a hearty voice sounded like thunder, and everyone looked up.

A black dress made people tremble with fear like a dark cloud, and the cuffs and corners of the clothes rustled.

Then the weapons in the hands of the soldiers began to rot in an instant, the wooden handles rotted, the spearheads rusted, and in the blink of an eye, the weapons that were still usable had passed a thousand years and became antiques.

The soldiers retreated in fear, and Bai Tu was also shocked when he looked at the rust in his hand. Could this guy be?

"Grand Master?!" Although Bai Tu had never seen Duran, he was also familiar with the magic of the Grand Master, and he heard that the Grand Master liked to wear black, which was simply a demon in the night.

Zhongli Mei and Meng Jiangnu were also shocked. The Grand Master? He was a famous figure. How could he come here?

Duran stood in the air and looked down at Bai Tu: "If you are asked to kill someone, go and kill someone. If the superior asks you to eat shit, will you eat it?"

Bai Tu's face was pale and he didn't dare to answer at all.

"Go back, all of you. I will protect these villagers from now on." Duran said.

Bai Tu couldn't say a word. He wanted to say "no", but facing the momentum of the Grand Master, he couldn't resist at all.

"Please ask the Grand Master to make the decision for us." Meng Jiangnu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke at this time, "This general wants to massacre the village for no reason. We are just ordinary people who have not done anything illegal, but we have to be killed for no reason. Doesn't the Qin Dynasty have the law?" Meng Jiangnu looked at Duran without fear.

Duran was a little surprised. Meng Jiangnu's behavior could no longer be simply described as brave.

Meng Jiangnu didn't want to do this, but since the Grand Master came, she knew that the villagers would not die. In this case, she might as well let the Grand Master do justice. Anyway, she was ready to risk it.

Duran looked at Meng Jiangnu: "Of course I can help you make the decision, but I hope you can make the decision for yourself. If you can read, you can take the law enforcement officer exam. Then you can make the decision for yourself."

Meng Jiangnu can read, but she thinks the Grand Master's pie is a bit too big, and she doesn't believe it at all. Women who can read are still women, and they can't get rights. This is the way it is in this era.
