Chapter 1014: Don’t Let Them Freeze to Death in the Snow

More and more people from Longjiao County appeared on this long street, holding all kinds of things in their hands, and their eyes gradually suppressed their fear and tension, replaced by an unparalleled firmness.

All the people had the same idea at this moment.

That is, even if they all died here, they could not let the young garrison commander die here!

If one person's life could not be exchanged for his life, then use these hundreds of lives! 🅆

The two Taoists looked at each other and said nothing.

Even if these people filled up this street, it would be useless. In front of Taoist masters like them, they were all ants and would not have any impact on them.

Naturally, there was no way to stop them.

There was a sound of horse hooves in the distance.

A bearded man rode his horse to the front of the long street, dismounted without hesitation, and then rushed into the street, shouting loudly, "If you want to kill the garrison commander, kill me, Zhao Ge, first!"

After this man came here, several more riders came here, also dismounted. The leading woman, heroic, came to the street and said in a deep voice, "Protect the garrison commander!"

Several warriors immediately drew out their swords and blocked Chen Chao behind them. These warriors with low realms stared at the two Taoists in the distance, with no fear in their eyes, only the purest killing intent!

Seeing these martial artists who were obviously trained, the scholar who appeared first also became excited. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Those who carry firewood for the public should not be frozen to death in the wind and snow!"

"Neighbors, protect the garrison commander!"

"Yes, the garrison commander has done so many things for us, we must do something for the garrison commander!"

"That's right, even if my whole family dies today, the garrison commander cannot die!"

"Damn it, these outsiders actually want to kill the garrison commander, I wish I could smash their heads!"

"Don't worry, sir, I'm here "With us here, no one can hurt you!"

"Fuck you, let's fight them. They want to kill you, the garrison commander, just to prevent us from living well!"

"Yes, if they don't let us live well, then we'll all die!"

No matter how honest a person is, there will be times when they are angry, and no matter how cowardly a person is, there will be times when they are brave. These people live at the bottom of this world. In the eyes of those high-ranking monks, their opinions, their demands, and their emotions have never been completely ignored, because they are weak enough, so weak that they can be made to disappear without any effort.

But no matter how weak a person is, he will not be bullied all his life. They also have things to stick to.

The people can feel what the court has done in the past ten years, or even in the past two hundred years. They know that in the past two hundred years, life has become better and better, and they can have enough food. It is the emperors of Daliang who have worked hard for them.

The history books actually recorded an interesting story about Emperor Taizong of Daliang. It was said that one day when Emperor Taizong was inspecting the people's conditions, he met a farmer's daughter in the fields. After the little girl knew Emperor Taizong's identity, she asked Emperor Taizong a question.

"What is an emperor?"

This question was very simple and innocent, without any other meaning, but the court officials who followed Emperor Taizong at the time were stopped and didn't know how to answer this question.

As for Emperor Taizong, after a little thought, he smiled and told the little girl the answer.

"I don't know what the emperors of other dynasties do, but in the Daliang Dynasty, the emperor is someone who works hard for you people to live a better life."

Emperor Taizong was certainly a wise ruler. During his years in office, he always adhered to what he said and worked hard to make the people of Daliang live a better life.

After Emperor Taizong passed away, Emperor Lingzong succeeded to the throne and did the same.

But just having enough food was not enough.

So the Daliang Emperor and the Chen Dynasty appeared.

In the past ten years, the emperor of Daliang told the monks of Fangwai that they could not bully the people of Daliang as they did before, and in the past few years, it was the Chen Dynasty that told the monks of Fangwai that if they still bullied the people of Daliang, then they would all die.

Because of the Chen Dynasty, the resentment that had been accumulated in the hearts of the people could be expressed, especially after the people left, the Chen Dynasty became the big tree behind them.

Perhaps this young garrison commander did not have a very good reputation in Fangwai and in the court, but that was not what the people cared about.

The people only knew that this young garrison commander cared about them. If they were wronged, this young garrison commander would know and would definitely seek justice for them!

Such a garrison commander, then he could not die no matter what!

If he died, would there be anyone who would stand up and seek justice for them like him if he was wronged in the future? !

Is there anyone else? !

The people were furious. At this moment, let alone the two Taoist masters, they would not leave even if the Demon Emperor came to the human territory again.

Zhao Ge, a man with a beard, squeezed to Chen Chao's side. The middle-aged warrior lowered his voice and said, "Sir, the garrison commander, hurry up!"

Chen Chao glanced at him and did not respond.

Zhao Ge said anxiously, "You can't die here. You go first. I will hold them back with them. At least I can buy you a chance of survival!"

Chen Chao shook his head and asked, "Brother, I shouldn't die here, so you should die here?"

Zhao Ge frowned, "Your life is more valuable than ours. As long as you are still alive, Daliang will

It’s getting better and better. As for us...we...it doesn’t matter if we die..."

Looking at this man who had been with him for a long time, Chen Chao shook his head and said calmly, "It does matter."

"I am the guardian envoy of the Liang Dynasty. The monthly salary I receive from the court is the taxes you pay. In other words, the people support the officials, and the officials must do what they should do for the people."

Having said this, Chen Chao paused and said with a smile, "There is no reason to let the common people die while the officials have to live."

Zhao Ge was speechless.

At this moment, the two Taoists were ready to move forward. The person standing in front of them was a strong man. He was a butcher nearby. The butcher's knife that Chen Chao owned before actually belonged to his family.

"This is just a grudge between us. If you dare to hurt the common people today, as long as I can survive today, I will kill any relatives and friends who have anything to do with you in the world, even if I am in poverty or hell. Find them all and kill them all!”

A voice sounded in the crowd.

The voice was not very loud, but its tone was cold and had the strongest warning meaning.

The two Taoists stopped and looked at each other. Neither of them doubted the authenticity of this sentence. Chen Chao's title outside the country was "Devil", but for him, even the monks who were not familiar with him would know it. Four words came to mind instantly.

Violence must be repaid!

In the past years, no one has ever escaped unscathed after provoking this young guardian envoy.

Therefore, in response to Chen Chao's warning, the two Taoists subconsciously remained silent for a moment.

"Brother Dao, don't think so much. He will die today. Talking so much is just to delay time. If he dies, everything will return to dust. Why is there such trouble?"

The Taoist wearing a green robe spoke slowly, with some disdain in his voice.

But the white-robed Taoist shook his head and said, "That's wrong. After he dies, there will still be a Daliang Dynasty. Depending on his relationship with the prince, the Daliang Dynasty will avenge him in the future."

Come to kill Chen Chao, the two of them can die, but for this, don't continue to involve others.

"Lord Guardian, we don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Every injustice has its own debtor. As long as Lord Guardian doesn't hide behind them, we don't need to kill anyone."

After thinking for a moment, the white-robed Taoist spoke slowly, giving them their choice.

This also confirmed their fear of Chen Chao, otherwise they would not have made changes because of these words.

Chen Chao took a deep breath, pushed Zhao Ge aside, and walked over.

When Chen Chao walked past her, Lu Qingling suddenly grabbed Chen Chao's sleeve and frowned, "Lord Guard Envoy!"

Chen Chao turned to look at the woman and smiled, "Can you stop her? If you can't, why waste your life in vain."

explain

As he spoke, he broke away from Lu Qingling's hand, but soon a figure appeared in front of him, blocking Chen Chao's way.

The other people around him quickly gathered around and blocked Chen Chao.

Chen Chao frowned.

"Lord Guardian, we may not have much ability, but today, no matter what, you cannot die until we are done!"

A man clenched the hatchet in his hand and said hoarsely, "Lord Guardian, you have protected us many times, let us protect you just once!"

"Yes, protect the guardian envoy!"

A group of people, including men, women, old and young, all raised what they were holding.

Chen Chao's eyes were moist and he was speechless. He only felt a little warm in his heart.

The things you have to do are like walking on a muddy road in a storm, but what these people are doing today is like someone handing you a lantern, even if it doesn't change anything. , but always allows you to see the way forward in the dark.

In the distance, noisy footsteps sounded, and a group of soldiers arrived.

At the same time, there were also officials from the county magistrate's office and officials from the garrison envoy's yamen who came here.

The local envoy was a man in his early thirties, and he immediately shouted loudly, "Thieves, don't touch the envoy, sir, my officer Song Qing is here!"

"Longjiao Camp, listen to my general's order, protect the envoy and kill him!"

The general in charge of garrisoning here was a tall and thick man. At this moment, he simply put on a pair of iron armor and carried an iron spear, and then he rushed towards the two Taoists on horseback!

The two Taoists looked at this scene and felt that it was extremely absurd. All the people here combined would not be able to survive even a moment under their hands. They seemed to know it, but even so, they had to come and die regardless. ? !

For what purpose? !

The two Taoist masters who have practiced Taoism for decades couldn't understand. Since they couldn't understand, there was no need to think about it. After the two looked at each other again, they no longer hesitated and decided to take action to kill these common people. Kill, no matter what, Chen Chao must be killed today.

"Get the hell away!"

An angry shout sounded again.

A terrifying sound instantly overturned the armored general, and at the same time made the captured Longjiao County guard take a few steps back.

As for the soldiers, they fell one after another.

The one who did all this was not Chen Chao, who was obviously exhausted, but Huang Kong, who was injured by Chen Chao before. This thin young warrior came to the front of the people at some point.

He raised his sword.

The two Taoists looked at each other and asked in confusion, "Huang Kong, what are you doing?!"

Huang Kong was too lazy to say more, but just said viciously, "I am also a citizen of Daliang now!"
