Chapter 86: War Begins
The man suddenly became excited: "Headmaster Lin! Please save us, please save us! We are the People's Party of Qingcheng. We are strong, we have many people, and we have organized many farmers. If you just save us, we will join you, follow your lead, and become your most powerful force!"
He was afraid that Lin Wen would not believe him, so he turned his back to Lin Wen, aimed at a big rock, took a deep breath, shouted, and punched it hard.
With a bang, his fist struck the ground hard, shattering the bluestone into pieces and even making a hole in the ground.
He carefully stood beside Lin Wen to protect him from being hit by the flying pebbles.
He raised his fist, which only had a few white marks on it.
"Chief Lin, did you see that? I passed the national exam for super-advanced military prowess. There are many like me in our area. We could all have had good lives, but for the sake of our ideals, we voluntarily gave up everything and gathered under the banner of the Democratic Party."
"Now we can all join you. You can't hire a super-high-level expert unless you offer an annual salary of over 10 million. Now we don't want money, nothing at all."
"Wait a minute."
Lin Wen was still confused and was about to ask for more information when the man said anxiously, "Don't wait, County Chief Lin. Every time we lose a man, you lose a bit of strength. We've waited for too long. Don't wait, don't wait..."
Two lines of clear tears flowed from his eyes. His expression was passionate yet sad, joyful yet mournful. The emotions that had accumulated in his heart over time suddenly poured out. This was hope opening up his heart.
Lin Wen was also slightly moved. He thought for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Are you the Democratic Party members who sell vegetables?"
If someone said this in the past, Yanshi Liu Henshi would definitely punch him in the head.
But now, he was even overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we are the vegetable sellers. We organize farmers to sell vegetables so that they will not be exploited by the gentry."
"Oh, didn't I keep you waiting?"
"Wait?" Liu Henshi was instantly disappointed. "Why wait?"
Lin Wen said, "I have a lot of things to do here. I'm not ready yet. I don't have enough strength. Moreover, one of my key people hasn't returned yet."
Yanshi Liu Henshi stood there in a daze, speechless for a moment.
At this moment, an off-road vehicle suddenly came speeding from a distance, its body swaying from side to side, obviously out of control.
But the driver had no intention of braking. Instead, he kept his foot on the accelerator and kept turning the steering wheel violently.
The off-road vehicle swayed violently on the wasteland, scaring people nearby to get out of the way.
Suddenly, the off-road vehicle turned around and rushed towards Lin Wen.
[Without a Colorful Phoenix] Call the police immediately. Lin Wen sighed secretly and was about to cast a spell, but he saw the man take a deep breath, shout loudly, take a step forward, lower his waist and shoulders, and press forward with both hands.
With a bang, dust was stirred up, sand and stones flew everywhere, the front of the off-road vehicle was nailed firmly, and the rear of the vehicle was tilted towards the sky. The big man did not move at all, and the ground under his feet cracked.
A young girl flew out of the car. The big man reached out and grabbed her, and put down the SUV with his other hand.
This scene shocked the people nearby. Bai Xiu Yu ran over in a panic, checked Lin Wen's body from top to bottom, and then nervously stood in front of him.
Bai Yatou followed closely behind, holding an iron rod and looking as if she was going to charge forward and fight to the death.
"go back."
Lin Wen whispered, "He is my friend."
After hearing this, Bai Xiu Yu relaxed. She smiled apologetically at Lin Wen and immediately took Bai Yatou away. The latter even made a face at the big man.
The big man slowly put the girl down and asked, "Nightingale, why are you here?"
Nightingale's face was full of fear and tears, and she burst into tears.
"Brother Liu! Sister Yun, Sister Yun and the others are ambushed! Quick, go rescue them!"
"What?"
Yanshi Liu Henshi's hands suddenly clenched, Nightingale cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face, but it had nothing to do with pain.
She cried, "Brother Liu! Sister Yun agreed to negotiate with the corrupt officials in Qingcheng! She brought all her men with her, but that corrupt official really deceived us. Although he didn't bring any men, he sent ten monstrous masters who captured Sister Yun and the others right away and are now blackmailing us."
"Later, Brother Butcher sacrificed himself to fight those monsters, which gave Sister Yun and the others a slight chance. Our rear guard immediately went in and a melee ensued, but their support arrived quickly. Hundreds of off-road vehicles surrounded them from both sides."
"Sister Yun arranged for me to report the news, and I ran away. As I was leaving, I saw a large number of troops from Hangu Pass appearing, trying to intercept Sister Yun's retreat."
She suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Wen.
"You, you are County Magistrate Lin, right? Please, go and save them! I am willing to work like a slave, I am willing to do anything, just..."
Lin Wen raised his hand to stop her from talking and shouted, "Old Li!"
"Why!"
A man who looked like a farmer stood up from the construction site.
"In the next round, you take the lead for me."
"Okay, County Chief Lin." He grinned and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, please don't despise me."
Lin Wen turned around and got into the car, looking at the two people who were still standing there in a daze.
"Get in the car, what are you waiting for?"
——
The driver was Yanshi Liu Henshi. Nightingale actually couldn't drive at all. She stole a car in Huai Town. It was a miracle that she could drive all the way here.
Yanshi never let up on the accelerator all the way, but when he arrived at the road from Huaizhen to Hangu Pass, Fang Dashan, who had already received the order, was already waiting there in line.
Six hundred imperial soldiers, armed with guns and ready to go, were lined up in neat rows and in a solemn military appearance.
"Walk!"
Lin Wen jumped out of the car and said only one word.
"Yes, sir!"
Six hundred people answered in unison, and Fang Dashan shouted, "Turn right! Move out!"
As the sound of orderly footsteps rang out, Rock's eyes were suddenly filled with tears. This was the scene he had dreamed of countless times. He had thought he would never see it in this lifetime, but he never expected it to come true at this moment.
Lin Wen turned to them and said, "You two go ahead and scout ahead. Report back if you find anything."
"Yes, sir!"
Yanshi Liu Henshi answered loudly, stepped on the accelerator, turned the front of the car and headed towards the small road.
This place is actually not far from Hangu Pass. After only ten minutes, Lin Wen saw the dilapidated checkpoint.
It is called a checkpoint, but in fact it is just a wooden fence blocking the road, and tax police are stationed there to collect fees.
In order to prevent people from rushing through the checkpoints, there are always hundreds of tax police and security guards on duty here.
But now, there are less than a hundred tax police left, and the security guards are nowhere to be seen.
Seeing a large group of soldiers coming, the tax police became nervous. They closed the wooden gate one after another. One person hid behind the door and shouted:
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Lin Wen activated [Observing Qi and People], and as expected, the people in front of him were just a group of ordinary people. There was some black energy, but it was not fatal.
Lin Wen hesitated for a moment and asked Fang Dashan to go and negotiate, but when the other party heard that they were actually imperial soldiers, he was even more afraid to open the door.
"What do you want to do? It's a serious crime for the Imperial garrison to leave the jurisdiction without permission!"
Fang Dashan nodded to Lin Wen, indicating that what he said was true.
Lin Wen frowned, but he soon saw that there were a large number of black clouds in the distance, rolling towards this side. There were several points of clear light in the black clouds, which were firmly bitten by the tail and gradually separated and shrank.
"rush!"
Lin Wen only said this one word and took the lead to rush forward.
