Chapter 506 Huai Ling Incident
The next morning, Huailing City.
"Look! There's someone tied to the high pole on the city wall!"
"It seems to be the emperor!!"
"How is that possible? You must have seen it wrong."
"No doubt about it! I had the honor of seeing the emperor's true appearance from afar when he was traveling a few years ago! Besides, he was wearing a dragon robe!"
"Hiss, it really looks like a dragon robe!!"
"What?! Why does His Majesty insist that the bastard Wu Ding did it?!"
"How dare he humiliate me, the Emperor of Dafeng!"
"I'm so angry!!"
"Fellow villagers! Let's rush up and rescue the emperor!!"
"Yes! Dafeng must not suffer such humiliation!!"
“.”
Suddenly a living person was hung on the city wall, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.
What's more, this man is the emperor of Dafeng.
In less than a quarter of an hour, thousands of people gathered around the northern tower of Huai Ling City. Everyone was shouting angrily, and the atmosphere became more and more intense with each curse.
Yes, we in Dafeng surrendered.
But this does not mean that we will be humiliated by you, Daning! ! Hanging Li Qi on the top of the city wall for public display is like a loud slap in the face, hitting every Dafeng citizen hard in the face.
Before this, they might not have cared too much about such distant things as the change of power and the change of dynasties.
After all, no matter what the emperor's surname was, their lives would not change much.
But at this moment, when they watched their monarch being hung high above their own land, the most simple patriotism in everyone's heart was completely aroused.
“Go!!!”
"Dafeng must not suffer such a great humiliation!!"
"Let's fight with the bastard Daning!"
“Count me in!!!”
“.”
Women carrying vegetable baskets, dark-skinned laborers, hawkers carrying shoulder poles, and scholars in Confucian robes. More and more people gathered, thousands of them shouting and crowding, little by little pressing towards the "cordon" formed by the Daning soldiers.
"Bang!"
“Bang, bang, bang!!”
“Back off!!”
“Back off!!!”
The body hit the shield, making a chaotic muffled sound.
The Daning soldiers held their long spears and high shields horizontally, gritted their teeth and wrestled with the angry crowd opposite them.
Although they are all high-ranking warriors, their strength is far superior to that of ordinary people.
But the elephant cannot be killed by ants. Countless weak forces are superimposed on each other, and the final impact force is naturally no longer weak.
Soon, under increasing pressure, the "defense line" formed by the Daning soldiers began to loosen and the shield wall began to shake.
Some soldiers had already drawn their swords, trying to scare away the approaching crowd.
However, the latter seemed not to be afraid of those shining long swords at all. It was not known whether they had really put life and death aside, or they were sure that the Daning soldiers would not dare to kill them.
After all, the indiscriminate killing of civilians is not something that can be tolerated in any era.
Just "Checkmate!"
On the tower, a deputy general hurriedly ran to Wu Ding, bowed his head and saluted: "More and more rioters are gathering around the city wall, and now there are no less than three thousand people! More people are coming here after hearing the news!"
"Should we send more people to stop them? Or should we allow the brothers to disperse them?"
“.”
“No need.”
With a sneer on his face, Wu Ding glanced at the dark crowd below him.
Although he only needed one move to defeat this group of rabble, as a second-rank master, he would not bother to attack ordinary people unless necessary.
But just because he is too lazy to take action doesn't mean he will let these "thieves" go.
"Release the arrow."
In the deputy general's astonished eyes, Wu Ding smiled and uttered two words.
The next moment, hundreds of archers on the city wall drew their bows and arrows and shot at the unarmed crowd without hesitation.
“Whoosh!”
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!”
With the sound of arrow strings snapping, arrows as dense as locusts whizzed towards the crowded men, women, old and young, and in an instant aroused a cry of dying pain around the city wall.
How could ordinary people resist the arrows shot by warriors? Moreover, there was no need to aim now. Therefore, after only a few rounds of rapid scattering, there were only a few living people left standing in the originally densely packed crowd.
"ah!!!"
"Kill, kill someone!"
"Run away!"
"Devil! Devil!!"
"I'm going to fight you guys!!!"
“.”
From the beginning to the end, in less than a hundred breaths, nearly three thousand people were killed.
This is not a war, it's a massacre.
The area around the North City Tower suddenly turned into a hell on earth, with blood soaking the loess and the screams being heart-wrenching.
It remains to be seen whether Wu Ding chose to use this "simplest" way to solve the problem at the instruction of Ning Yongnian.
In short, his expression now did not fluctuate at all.
“Cang!”
With a casual wave of his hand, the sword at his waist suddenly came out of its sheath.
A dazzling blade light suddenly appeared, instantly chopped into countless fresh corpses, and then left a several-inch deep blade mark on the ground.
This knife mark connected from beginning to end, completely surrounding the north city tower.
"Humph! Listen carefully!"
Taking a step forward and standing on the top of the city wall, Wu Ding turned around and pointed at Li Qi on the high pole.
"Your emperor of Dafeng has previously ordered the massacre of two million people in Yuanzhou City!"
"This act is intolerable to heaven, so I will send down a divine punishment to annihilate 500,000 of your Dafeng soldiers in one night!"
"Our emperor will not tolerate such despicable behavior, so he sent troops to the west to destroy the tyrant!"
"Such a benevolent act should have won the world's peace, but instead of being grateful, you are stubborn and stubborn, and are willing to be the running dogs of the tyrant!"
"I will kill anyone who helps the tiger!"
Glancing coldly at the crowd in the distance who were angry but did not dare to approach the tower again, Wu Ding sneered: "Humph! The tyrant is hanging here. Anyone who wants to save him can try!"
"But let me make it clear first!"
"From now on, anyone who enters this world will die!"
“.”
Three thousand civilians were massacred.
Compared with the Wonju City Massacre, such an incident seems "insignificant", but if taken alone, it is definitely another "humanitarian crisis."
After all, there are not many forces that dare to massacre civilians in public.
If this matter was done by a certain sect, then this sect would undoubtedly be immediately classified as a "demonic cult".
But if it comes from one country, we can only say that Daning's "international image" may be affected.
“.”
"Sir, that's it."
In Guanghan County, Wei Changtian learned about Li Qi being hung on the city wall for public display and the "Huai Ling Incident" at noon.
He had just told Chu Xianping yesterday that "there is no need to report the matter in Dafeng unless it is extremely important", but today such a "especially important" thing happened. To be honest, although Wei Changtian was surprised, he actually did not guess what Ning Yongnian was going to do by doing this.
After all, he still didn't know the "multiple-choice question" that the latter left for Li Wutong, and just thought that Ning Yongnian wanted to throw the dirty water of the Yuanzhou City tragedy on Li Qi.
So, after sighing in his heart, Wei Changtian stopped thinking about it.
He just felt that this would undoubtedly make it more difficult for him to comfort Li Wutong in the future.
As for Li Qi, he should actually find a way to rescue his future father-in-law.
But unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to do so now.
Kuilong cannot participate in secular power struggles, so he will definitely not save the emperor of a country.
Go there in person? There are only a few system points left, and I'm afraid I'll die in Dafeng by then.
So alas, the same thing again.
Rescuing Li Wutong is all he can do right now.
