Chapter 858 Prevailing

"General Liu said that daring to guarantee the emperor with his life is not to use these children to make alchemy, but why do you dare to use your life to guarantee it?! Children... are the future of a country! Who can guarantee that the future or generals... or Didn't the prime minister's talent come from among these children?! Your life, General Liu...is it worth more than a thousand children?! How dare you say that you will guarantee your life!"

Liu Hong's face was livid, and he couldn't speak a word.

"Imperial authority?! Heh! At that time... imperial authority wants the lives of these thousand children! Junwei wants the lives of these thousand children! General Liu... Can your death be exchanged for the lives of these children?!" Bai Qing Yan asked in a cold voice, "Did General Liu forget that King Liang used children to refine pills and gave them to the emperor?! We all know that this was done by King Liang, and who ordered King Liang to take it?" ?! Why did the emperor try to keep King Liang safe afterwards?! General Liu! Have you really forgotten?!"

"As soldiers, what is the purpose of fighting in blood?! To protect the people! But look! Open your eyes!" Bai Qingyan pointed at those who were full of tears and seemed to be full of hatred. People, "they are the people we sacrificed our lives to protect! But the emperor regards them as worthless, and regards the lives of these children as worthless! If you abandon the people for the sake of the so-called imperial power and authority, you are worthy of the dead brothers?! You are worthy of the dead soldiers ?!"

Bai Qing's words were so loud that Liu Hong was almost moved by Bai Qing's words.

"What kind of virtue is our emperor! General Liu knows better than me! Selfish, for his own desire..."

"Princess Zhen Guo!" Liu Hong interrupted Bai Qingyan's words, his eyes were tearing, and he said loudly, "Don't forget, you are a minister of Jin! You, Princess Zhen Guo, were conferred by His Majesty!"

"I'm no longer the Princess of Zhenguo." Bai Qingyan dropped the whip in her hand, she turned around, and faced Liu Hong seriously, "The heirs of the Bai family are born to learn the four words of protecting the people and peace of the people! The Bai family army does not fight to the death and does not disarm, it is to protect the peace and tranquility of the people without worry and fear! It is never for the power of the emperor! Whether I am Bai Qingyan or Bai Jinzhi... risking my life and fighting to the death is never for the royal family! It is for... ...Taxes to support 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 between Liu Hong and Bai Qingyan was suddenly tense, with swords on the verge of breaking out.

Can the people kneeling down and begging Bai Qingyan see what's going on? They all looked at Bai Qingyan... with tears in their eyes, Princess Zhenguo is going to fight to the death to protect the people!

It is true that the people of the state of Jin say that the Bai family is the backbone of the state of Jin, that the Bai family is the pillar of the town of Jin, and that the Bai family army is an army that protects and loves the people.

"Princess Zhenguo! You want...to..." Liu Hong didn't dare to say the word "anti" for a long time, because he was not sure whether the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who brought back to Jin, including Yang Wuce, Will obey his orders.

No... These soldiers would never listen to his orders. He knew it just now after seeing Yang Wuce's reaction. Yang Wuce only listened to Princess Zhenguo's orders.

"Princess Zhenguo!" The county magistrate of Chunmu City stretched his neck on tiptoe, and shouted through Yang Wuce and other tall soldiers, "Princess Zhenguo! Your servant is the parent officer of Chunmu City. Please see me!" Zhen Guo Princess!"

Bai Qingyan, who was standing with his hands behind his back, turned his head and looked towards the gate of the government office, and said, "Let him in!"

Liu Hong held his breath in his heart, but he was so small and he didn't dare to force Bai Qingyan to say that retort. He stood aside angrily, but he was thinking about how he should respond.

The county magistrate of Chunmu City, avoiding Yang Wuce's knife point, squeezed his stomach carefully and squeezed in through the gap between the officers and men outside the government office gate. Holding the hem of his official uniform, he trotted to Bai Qingyan and knelt down.

"Princess Zhenguo Mingjian, it is the imperial edict from Dadu City, ordering the officials to summon a hundred boys and girls in Chunmu City, and they must be delivered to Jiuchongtai on the fourth day of May! But we really don't have enough in Chunmu City. The official and the general guarding the city, General Li, pooled money to buy more than a dozen children, but it was too late to send the children to Jiuchongtai on the fourth day of May. The two of us spent all our money and begged the envoy who came to pick up the children for mercy. Only then did I agree that as long as I can set off this afternoon, I am willing to speak well in front of His Majesty on behalf of Chunmu City, to see if I can forgive the people of Chunmu City for their crime of delay. Now... only the two who were rescued by Princess Zhenuo today Boys and girls, you can set off for Jiuchongtai!"

The county magistrate looked up at Bai Qing and said, "It doesn't matter if you lose your own head, I'm afraid that the emperor will be angry and the people will suffer!"

On the way here, the county magistrate already knew about Bai Qingyan's rescue of two children outside the city.

"Princess Zhenguo doesn't know something, not only Chunmu City, but also Longyang City, Puwen City, Youhua City... All of them have assigned a hundred boys and girls! The generals and county magistrates of Longyang City heard that The two refused to obey such an imperial decree, and the envoys who came to deliver the decree beheaded their heads, not to mention their wives and daughters! There are also people in Longyang City who ran away with their children all night...it would be a shame if they were arrested. The whole family, including the neighbors, were beheaded!" The county magistrate couldn't help crying when he said this, sincerely sad, "Your Majesty also decreed that adult men with a radius of a hundred miles should be recruited to build Jiuchongtai, and there is still a deadline Hurry to Jiuchongtai, otherwise it will be a dead end, it will harm the whole family, and many people have already been killed!"

Liu Hong's eyes widened, his fists behind his back were trembling, and he used such cruel methods to treat his own people.

Laws such as Lianzao have long been abandoned because of their cruelty, but now they are becoming prevalent again in the state of Jin.

"I'm thinking about it. If the child is sent to Jiuchongtai, maybe it's not using the child's life to make alchemy? Although the hope is slim, it's better than... all the people in the city have been killed!" The county magistrate said here, walking on his knees Going forward, looking at the people who were protecting the children behind them, kowtowed, "I'm sorry for you, but as your parents and officials, you can't protect our children in Chunmu City!"

As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, he heard a child running towards the county magistrate, calling for daddy.

Only then did the people realize that the seven-year-old child was really the county magistrate's child!

When the county magistrate saw his son, tears welled up, and he cried bitterly while holding the child, and said to the people: "I didn't buy the child to replace my own child, because we really didn't have enough money in Chunmu City." !"

The seven-year-old child hid in the county magistrate's arms and cried loudly, and the bought children stood aside, without parents and no one to care about, looking at a loss.
