Chapter 65: Roaring
Wang Jin secretly laughed in his heart, but Chen Ken said on the surface: "Although Li Yi is only fourteen years old, he is born with supernatural powers and has extraordinary martial arts. In addition, he led everyone to defeat the bandits and build their homes, so he was adopted by An Xin
The people regard him as their leader, but if he is given orders, they will do their best. It can be said that his reputation is unparalleled."
"Could it be that even if he wants to rebel, the people of Anxin will follow him at the risk of beheading?" Master Wang asked hurriedly with a sideways look on his face.
Wang Jin pondered for a moment, raised his head and looked at Master Wang, and said: "Although I don't want to do this, with Li Yi's reputation, if he raises his arms and shouts, thousands of people in Anxin will rush to respond. When the time comes, follow his lead.
If you are resourceful and courageous, coupled with your superior force, you will surely plunder everywhere, enslave tens of thousands of people, and cause great disasters."
Every time Wang Jin said something, Master Wang's face became uglier. Even the soldiers and officials next to him changed their expressions, and their eyes were dull and lifeless.
"Send someone to escort Wang Jin to report the situation to the governor. We will move forward quickly and must catch up with Li Yi and others." Master Wang's head was already filled with scenes of blood boiling. He did not dare to hesitate at the moment and rushed forward quickly.
Chase him straight away.
Wang Jin did not dare to delay, climbed on a rider's horse, turned the horse's head, and rushed towards Baoding Mansion.
The two groups of people set off separately, in such a hurry that the riders who didn't know what was going on felt a little bit of pressure.
Although Li Yi and others carried a large amount of money and food, they rushed on the road with all their strength and were one step ahead of the riders and returned to Anxin safely.
As soon as An Xin arrived, he happened to catch up with the villagers taking a break from work, and was immediately surrounded by the villagers who rushed over.
They all wore patched linen clothes. Although they were washed very clean, they could only hide their shame and had no regard for warmth or dignity. But everyone was the same, and no one laughed at them.
The villagers helped push the cart and counted the grains on it, all the way into the village.
The children nearby cheered and jumped, feeling happy to have gained so much.
The whole Anxin is very lively and full of laughter and laughter.
Due to disciplinary reasons, Yong Ding did not leave the team rashly, and slowly drove the carriage towards the warehouse, with the villagers following him.
The old patriarch, Zhang Qian and the others all walked out of the hut, gathered together, and looked at the cart full of money and grain with smiles on their faces.
Although An Xin got a lot of money and food, he was still very poor. He didn't even have a decent house. They were all crudely built thatched huts. Although everyone was like a family, eating together and working together, there was no complaint. But this
This situation is undesirable.
Now, the bandits have been put to death and food has been cultivated. It is also time to build houses for everyone and erect wooden fences around them for defense.
Li Yi jumped off the carriage, broke away from the praises of the villagers, and walked straight in front of the old patriarch and the others.
In the eyes of outsiders, Li Yi, who was strong and witty, returned to his home and immediately acted like a child. Tears flowed out all of a sudden, and he choked up and told the old patriarch and others about the trouble he had caused.
Offending the governor, robbing the government treasury privately, beating officials, all these crimes hit everyone's heart like a whip.
But when they were asked to blame Li Yi, they couldn't say a word.
Although they didn't know the specific details, they also knew that everything Li Yi did was for An Xin's good.
Think about it, although Li Yi and other brave men are fierce, they are just a group of ordinary people. No one will take them seriously when they enter the city.
Li Yi may have been a little impulsive in this matter, but the fault was not his. The blame was also on everyone's inability and poverty, which made Li Yi fight desperately for some money and food.
"Grandpa Patriarch, I'm sorry to everyone. It's all my fault. I've made a big mistake, offended the government, and may have hurt you all. But I just can't get angry. It's obviously our reward, a dozen good brothers sacrificed their lives for it."
Come on, why do those corrupt officials want to eat all of them? I’m just not convinced. Grandpa Patriarch, am I wrong to think this way?"
"My child, you are not wrong. Corrupt officials are not good people. They eat our flesh and drink our blood for their own glory and wealth. It is not a pity to die. We can't resist, so we can only swallow the bitter pill. But you are different.
, you have the ability, fight well." The old patriarch touched Li Yi's face and wiped away his tears. He couldn't help but shed tears. "Actually, what I and the villagers are most worried about is you. We are not afraid of anything else.
We're afraid that something might happen to you. From our point of view, it's good that you can be safe and sound. As long as you are here, we, Anxin, will always have a prosperous day."
He had made a big mistake and might have brought disaster to An Xin, but the old patriarch did not blame him at all. Instead, he was worried about his own safety.
Li Yi couldn't help crying, and Mr. Zhang on the side had red eyes. He stroked Li Yi's back and said, "Stone, don't worry. Everyone knows what is right and what is wrong, and no one will blame you."
The aunt on the side also had red eyes, and said to Li Yi: "The old patriarch and Mr. Zhang are right, Shitou, we all followed you to escape the famine and settled down in Anxin. Kill the bandits, grab food, and protect us. How can we?"
It's not something dangerous that makes people scared. But it's not something you stand at the forefront to protect everyone. You did the right thing. Even if my aunt fights for her life, she can't let you be caught by those dog officials.
Let’s go.”
"Aunt Li is right. Which of our lives can't be saved by a stone? If anyone dares to be ungrateful today, I will kill him." A middle-aged farmer also shouted loudly.
"Yes, everyone tried their best and couldn't let the stone be taken away by the dog officers. This time I am walking in front. If the officers and soldiers' spears come over, they will pierce my chest first. You can go on. I want to see the officers and soldiers.
Are you just being so domineering and not respecting the king's laws?" The uncles and uncles next to him all shouted excitedly.
"The government will be chasing us soon. We can't do nothing and wait like this. Men, please come with me to find weapons." An old military household shouted and ordered everyone to take action, and everyone took out their farm tools.
Wooden Spear, it looks like we are going to have a last-ditch fight today.
Li Yi couldn't bear it when he saw it, and wanted to stand up and dissuade everyone. However, the old patriarch grabbed him tightly and shook his head gently, not allowing Li Yi to stop him.
Just as everyone started to take action and look for usable weapons, Master Wang and others rushed there quickly, just in time to encounter the scene where everyone was shouting in anger.
Seeing thousands of people huddled together, a huge group of people clenched their fists and roared loudly. No matter how courageous Master Wang was, his legs were weak from fear and he hesitated to step forward.
The promotion officer next to him also looked nervous. He took a few steps forward and said in a low voice: "Master, what should we do with this? This is not good, but it will lead to a civil commotion."
Master Wang was also in a state of confusion and no longer looked as confident as usual.
After being stunned for a long time, he said: "We are waiting here. You send someone to ask Li Yi to come. We will discuss it later."
