Chapter 311 is a soldier by nature
"Girl! Qin Wangchuan's troops have entered the city!"
After wandering around the city for two days searching for Qin Wangchuan, Fu Leng and Mo Lang ran back to the mountains.
The two couldn't find Qin Wangchuan, but they never expected that he was hiding in Shanshitang, not far from the county government office!
People in the city either left or hid, and Shanshitang was closed. They only searched in secluded alleys, never expecting that the person was right under their noses.
Now the opportunity to assassinate him is gone.
The two were somewhat disappointed.
"It's alright. Even if you find him, you might not be able to kill him."
Liu'er said that Qin Wangchuan sleeps with one eye open and has survived several assassination attempts, yet no one managed to harm him in the slightest.
“Indeed, Qin Wangchuan is the strongest military general in the current dynasty. He is praised by the emperor in the annual martial arts competition. He is arrogant and doesn’t respect anyone. He is annoying like a donkey with its head held high!” Fu Leng said.
"Don't speak so harshly," Mo Lang said.
Fu Leng was about to glare when he heard him say:
"Look at Cui Shitou's donkey, it's quite well-behaved, not at all annoying."
Lu Qingqing: "..."
Fu Leng was stunned.
How awful!
Mo Lang was no longer the Mo Lang he knew.
"Alright, alright, you guys get some knives and distribute them to the villagers in the mutual aid group, then keep a close eye on Qin Wangchuan's movements," Lu Qingqing said.
"yes!"
...
Within half a day, news came from the brothers in the city.
Qin Wangchuan has actually started preying on women and children in the city!
Because Magistrate Xu informed the people of the danger, many people in the city chose to flee, but many others chose to stay at home, since everyone knew that only able-bodied men were conscripted.
Qin Wangchuan was a high-ranking general of the imperial court, and in their hearts, they would never harm the common people.
Compared to the former deposed crown prince who was rumored to have plotted a rebellion, they had more faith in the Grand General appointed by the court!
However, they did not expect that Qin Wangchuan's men would smash open the doors of the common people.
They searched for food, robbed money, and captured the people who were hiding.
All those arrested were taken to the street, forcing all the men who had run away to return.
Their behavior and manners are no different from those of bandits!
"Has Qin Wangchuan disregarded everything?"
Everyone listened with righteous indignation.
Lu Qingqing murmured, "Could it be that he intends to massacre the entire city?"
Otherwise, the news would eventually get out, would he want to bring about his own destruction?
“Now that Magistrate Xu has gone, it’s probably useless. How could Qin Wangchuan possibly care about a mere magistrate!” Fu Leng clenched his fist.
He looked at Mo Lang and said, "How about we select some more people and assassinate him?"
"That will only provoke him!" Liu'er walked over.
"Even if you manage to kill him, believe me, in his last moments before he dies, he'll drag everyone down to hell."
Thirty thousand troops are enough to raze Ming'an City to the ground in a single day!
Everyone looked at Liu'er.
This frail woman had such a resolute look in her eyes for the first time.
"I'll go."
"No way!" Lu Qingqing refused.
"Qingqing, I have to go! I know I'm not that important, and he might even kill me, but if we can hold him off for a while, we just need to wait for... reinforcements to arrive and we'll succeed, right?"
Lu Qingqing admitted that she was right; if it were her, she would definitely have done the same.
But if it were Liu'er, or anyone around her, she wouldn't be willing!
Mu's mother held her child and wiped away tears.
She seemed to know something: Liu'er had a relationship with that wicked general.
She was going to save the people in the city.
But she was just a frail girl!
Son, when are you coming back...?
The villagers all stared blankly at Liu'er.
Is she going to use her beauty to seduce that great general?
How stupid! This woman is so stupid!
Many women shook their heads frantically.
With a woman this beautiful, anyone can imagine what might happen if she goes there!
Liu Lizheng wiped his face: "How can you say that? With so many men here, how can we let a woman like you go and save people!"
"No, no, this won't do, my dear. Listen to Qingqing, be a good girl~" Grandma Liu, both confused and clear-headed, reached out to take Liu'er's hand and patted it gently.
Aunt Ding slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "I'm an old scallion, otherwise I'd go!"
Chen Cuihua glanced at her and said, "Even if you're a tender scallion, it's all for naught; you're not good enough!"
I heard that those soldiers and bandits are causing a lot of chaos in the military camps, not only with women but also with men...
"How about we find a handsome man to try it out?"
Her eyes darted around and finally landed on Mo Lang.
Mo Lang: "..."
#@%*&……
"Alright, alright, stop talking, let me think!" Lu Qingqing interrupted everyone, frowning as she pondered.
Liu'er lowered her eyes.
She had to go today, no matter what.
Not for the sake of the people, but also for the guilt in my own heart.
Although Qingqing said it wasn't her fault, it was Qin Wangchuan who had a demon in his heart.
But was she also the trigger for him to unleash the demon?
She couldn't remain indifferent.
Those who had died because of her in the past kept reminding her that she could no longer cower and could no longer hide peacefully.
She should do something, even if it only makes a small difference.
"Miss Lu."
Qu Shan's voice came from there.
His wife and daughter struggled to carry the stretcher over and put him on the ground.
“Miss Lu, listen to what I have to say…” Qu Shan said weakly.
He had just undergone surgery three days prior and couldn't move around much, so Lu Qingqing quickly squatted down and said, "Please tell me."
"Miss Lu, gather all the students in Ming'an County and go to put pressure on him. As long as there are a hundred people, Qin Wangchuan won't dare to act recklessly, unless he wants to be stripped of his status and executed!"
Mo Lang and Fu Leng's eyes lit up immediately.
Yes!
There is such a law!
That was erected when the late emperor established the empire.
At that time, due to the war, military officers wantonly killed protesting students, resulting in a lack of capable officials in the early days of the court.
It took five years for all departments to resume normal operations.
The law established by the late emperor stipulated that military generals should fight to the death and scholars should uphold their integrity.
No matter the time or the circumstances, a scholar may die for his principles, but he must not be slaughtered!
If a hundred students gather to protest, it must be reported to the imperial court. They will be persuaded and guided. If the matter is handled privately, even the greatest merit will be stripped away, and the student will be executed immediately!
If a thousand people gather to protest, they will be slaughtered and killed by martial artists, and their entire families will be exterminated!
“Miss Lu, I… I may be accused of treason, but my students are all righteous people!”
I sent my daughter to make contact and rescue the people…
Mr. Qu's daughter, Qu Yiran, nodded emphatically beside him, her eyes showing no fear.
Lu Qingqing nodded, her voice slightly choked:
"I know that the students taught by Mr. Qu must have integrity."
"Don't say anything, I'll take care of it."
Liu'er opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.
But Lu Qingqing had already said, "However, we must also make thorough preparations. If Qin Wangchuan really goes mad, we can't let those students die in vain!"
Lu Qingqing looked around.
Suddenly, a stone stood up and overturned a villager who was sitting on it!
"Stone, stone, stone... spirit..."
"I told you there was a stone spirit, but you didn't believe me!" Wang Jincai shouted triumphantly, forgetting all his fear.
But the villagers didn't have time to pay attention to him, because one stone after another stood up.
The trees and the grass all moved.
"Waaaaaah..."
They've all... they've all become sentient?
"We need you guys," Lu Qingqing said.
The tree, the rocks, and the clothes were all stripped off, revealing the human body!
"Miss Lu, we are soldiers!"
