Volume 1 Chapter 69: The Power of Mouth

Xiang Yun's patience had long been exhausted by Qiu Baihu, who kept giving me two-level reversals. You just talk too much, so who else should I kill if not you!

Is it so difficult to just talk? Xiang Yun felt very uncomfortable. If he wasn't about to get into trouble, he would never have taken out the gun.

The great king Qiu Baihu was defeated by Xiang Yun with just one shot.

All the bandits present were stunned. Why did their big brother, the honorable hall master, die so suddenly?

Xiang Yun didn't give these people time to react, and immediately shouted loudly: "Qiu Baihu is dead, and the entire Qingfeng Mountain has been surrounded by the imperial army. I promise all of you here that as long as you put down your weapons and surrender outside the mountain, I will spare your lives!"

One of the bandits questioned: "You even killed the hall master when you said so, how can we trust you!"

"That's right, brothers, kill this emperor and avenge the hall master!"

Xiang Yun was cursing in his heart, why weren't these people as naive as the supporting characters in novels? Why were they so hard to fool?

Xiang Yun was a little overwhelmed. He could kill ten, a hundred, or even a thousand people, but could he also kill ten thousand or ninety thousand people?

Even if so many people lined up and held their heads for Xiang Yun to chop off, Xiang Yun would still be exhausted to death.

Xiang Yun hurriedly shouted again, "I am the emperor, you know that I never joke!

Since I promised not to kill you, I will definitely do it!

You only have this one choice now, unless all of you want to die in Qingfeng Mountain!"

These words finally frightened the bandits, and they were also tempted. The emperor’s words are true, and the emperor’s promise is an imperial decree!

Everyone in the audience looked at each other, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Xiang Yun finally heaved a sigh of relief and immediately continued, "Let these innocent people go out first, and then I will take you out with me. With me here, the army outside will not attack you."

One of the bandits shouted, "Okay, all of us brothers will listen to the emperor."

"Brothers, when you get out, be prepared to behave yourself."

"I want to go out and find a good wife and do some small business."

But at this moment, a discordant voice came out: "I will continue to stay here as a bandit and will never go out again!"

"Brothers, think about it, what a life of angels this is. Heaven and earth don't care about anything. You have women, money, wine, and meat. This life is better than being an emperor!

Why go down the mountain? Become an ordinary citizen? Continue to be bullied by corrupt officials? Be bullied by landlords? Go work for others?

If you continue to be a servant to this kind of people, you may as well die!"

Good fellow, this made Xiang Yun angry, and he immediately pointed at him and cursed: "Bah, you are useless!"

"A bunch of grown men don't think about contributing to the country, but only want to eat, drink and have fun here. You are so useless. I look down on you!

Do you really think that you can go up the mountain and become bandits because you are strong?

You are wrong, because the court is here!

It was the imperial court's millions of troops that blocked the enemy armies from all directions at the border, thus ensuring peace within the Great Sun Dynasty and ensuring that the people of the dynasty were not affected by the chaos of war and could live and work in peace!

As for you people, it would be fine if you didn't contribute to the dynasty, but you actually went up the mountain to become bandits, causing trouble for the court. Not only did you rob houses, but you even stole the military rations that the court provided to the soldiers on the frontier. Aren't you too despicable!

Don't blame me for looking down on you. You all know that I brought an army of 700,000 here this time. Do you really think we are here to wipe out you bandits?

Wrong! It is because the cavalry of the Mahayana Kingdom is invading our borders. These 700,000 passionate men are going there to protect the dynasty. If we don’t go, the dynasty will be gone, the people will be displaced, the world will be in pieces, and there will be smoke everywhere!

By then, the common people will be trampled to death by the iron cavalry of the Mahayana Kingdom. You bandits who harm the common people will have nothing to take and no food to rob, and you will starve to death in the mountains!

Then you will know what true suffering is!

An army of 700,000 is enough to kill all of you bandits!

But do you know why I have been reluctant to give the order for an attack and have come in alone? It is because I do not want the good men of the Great Sun Dynasty who are about to go to the battlefield to fight to defend the people of the dynasty to die in the hands of their own people, in the hands of you scum of society!

You make me feel cold!

There are more than 90,000 strong and sturdy young men. Once you take up your weapons, you will be soldiers. You are enough to defend a city!

He actually went up the mountain to be a bandit. He is really a complete loser, a scum among scums!"

Xiang Yun's words excited the crowd, and his emotions also became very excited. The bandits around him were speechless and had nothing to refute. Many of them even felt extremely ashamed.

After a long pause, Xiang Yun felt that some of these people would jump out to refute him, so he hurriedly continued: "If you still consider yourself as a member of the Great Sun Dynasty, then immediately lay down your weapons and follow me out!

Those who want to live can live their lives, and those who want to join the army can join the army. I will take you to that border to see what a good man of the Great Sun Dynasty should do! "

Then Xiang Yun gave an order: "Put down your weapons!"

“Clatter, clatter~”

Sure enough, some people began to put down their swords. Once there was one, there were ten. Once there were ten, there were hundreds and thousands, and then there were tens of thousands. Some of those who were hesitant in their hearts had to put down their weapons under the pressure of the general trend.

Looking at this scene, Xiang Yun was very proud in his heart: "Defeating the enemy without fighting, the verbal attack is indeed the most powerful weapon in the world, even cannons can't compare to it!"

Xiang Yun's pyramid scheme was very successful this time. After a while, Xiang Yun organized these bandits to gather together, and then ordered people to go out and notify the army outside to come in and take over everything.

During the journey, Xiang Yun kept comforting the bandits, saying that he would definitely ensure their safety, which prevented a mutiny.

It was not until Linghu Feng led his army to completely surround the entire Baihu Hall territory that Xiang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now even if these bandits wanted to rebel, it was too late.

At that moment, Xiao Guazi and Xuanyuan Dabing immediately stepped forward to surround Xiang Yun and asked, "Your Majesty, are you not injured?"

"What can possibly happen to me? Why are you worrying about me?" Xiang Yun said unhappily, then looked towards Shangguan Xiuzhu in the distance.

Shangguan Xiuzhu nodded to him with a red face to show her concern. In fact, she had been extremely worried for a long time. Now seeing that Xiang Yun was fine, she felt relieved. She wanted to walk over, but when she thought about what she had said before that she was free in the evening, she was too shy to go over. She was so embarrassed.

Xiang Yun smiled slightly, then came to the thousands of innocent people, glanced around, and said loudly: "I am the emperor of the Great Sun Dynasty. The White Tiger Hall has been destroyed by my troops. From now on, you are free!"

The whole audience was silent. Xiang Yun originally thought that they would be ecstatic, but the scene of cheering for freedom did not appear.

After a while, someone actually started to cry bitterly. At this time, when one person cried, ten, a hundred, or even all of them would look up to the sky and cry loudly. Their cries were heart-wrenching and the screams of pain were endless.

In this sad atmosphere, an invisible feeling of sadness rose in Xiang Yun's heart. He suddenly realized that saving these people was just a matter of convenience for him, but for them, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they had saved the world.

At certain times, crying may be a better way to express joy than laughing.

But at this moment, Xiang Yun heard someone crying, "Why did you come now? Do you know what kind of suffering I have suffered here?"

“Kill these damn bandits, why are they allowed to live?

These people killed my parents, my elder sister, and my younger sister. I am the only one left in my family of seven. How can they still be alive after doing such a heartless thing? "

"Where is justice? Where is the law? Your Majesty, if you really care about us poor people, please put down your butcher knife and kill all these beasts!"

"That's right, kill them! These people don't deserve to live in this world!"

The situation began to get out of control, with more and more people calling for Xiang Yun to be killed. None of these innocent people were willing to let these bandits go.

Xiang Yun had a blank expression on his face when he heard this. No joy could be seen on his face, but his heart was extremely heavy. He could not give this order because no one jokes. He had already promised these people to let them live.

"Emperor, we just want justice!"

"Please, Emperor, give us common people justice!"

Many people continued to shout, but Xiang Yun still didn't say another word.

Shangguan Xiuzhu came behind him at this time, held his arm tightly with his hand, and said comfortingly: "This is not your fault. Even if you are a hero, you can't do everything perfectly."

Xiang Yun smiled bitterly and said softly, "No, as long as the people in the dynasty are not living well and are wronged, it is the fault of me, the emperor."

Seeing that Xiang Yun remained indifferent, these people seemed to understand what Xiang Yun meant. It was also as if they had courage and support with the soldiers around them. Many of them actually picked up rubble on the ground and threw it at the bandits in the distance.

The force of the throw was deadly. Many bandits who were hit were shouting and cursing, but the innocent people cursed even louder, as if they wanted to curse out all the grievances they had suffered over the years.

The situation began to get out of control, and the soldiers guarding the surrounding areas hurried forward to stop it and separated the people on both sides by a long distance. However, many soldiers from the three armies were hit by stones for no reason, and one person even had a bleeding forehead.

Xiang Yun frowned when he saw this and shouted, "Come here, send all these people out of Qingfeng Mountain!"

Upon receiving the order, Linghu Feng immediately summoned a large number of soldiers to forcibly drive these people out of Baihu Hall and send them down Qingfeng Mountain to fend for themselves.

Xiang Yun hurried to the soldier whose forehead was bleeding, looked at his wound, and said with concern: "I'm sorry for wronging you!"

The soldier said quickly, "It's not a grievance. Your Majesty is a man who is going to do great things. We soldiers are satisfied to be able to contribute to Your Majesty and help him. It's not a big deal to get a little injured for this."

Xiang Yun's expression changed, and then he nodded heavily.

However, the civilians who were forcibly taken away by the soldiers were not happy. Many of them shouted, "Is the court trying to protect these bandits? Protecting murderers!

How ridiculous! What kind of world is this now? Not only are the officials and bandits colluding, but even the emperor is colluding with the bandits. How can ordinary people like us survive in this world? "
