As they were traveling, they suddenly saw thick smoke billowing in the dense forest ahead. They could vaguely hear screams of battle. Liu Yuan only thought that it was a robbery by mountain bandits and hurriedly sent Xu Huang and Huang Chang to lead a hundred soldiers to investigate.
Not long after, a small soldier came to report.
"Reporting to my lord, the mountain bandits in front of us have plundered a small village and burned and killed many of them.”
Liu Yuan quickly called for the person in front to lead the way. After passing through the forest, Liu Yuan stopped in his tracks.
How tragic was this scene?
Liu Yuan trembled as he walked forward. He walked past the dozens of corpses at the entrance of the village and entered the village. He saw that the elderly and children were all slaughtered, and the women and girls were brutally abused! Their despairing and numb eyes stared blankly at the sky, dying with grievances!
"Bastard!"
"Where are Xu Huang and Huang Chang?" Liu Yuan shouted.”
"Reporting to my lord, the two generals have gone to track down the bandit leader!”
At this moment, Xu and Huang rushed out from the forest behind the village and bowed to Liu Yuan.""My lord, this subordinate did not fail my mission and captured the bandit leader!”
"Did any of the Mountain Bandits escape?"
"None of them managed to escape and were killed by us!”Xu Huang's eyes were red." These bandits are heartless. It's hard to appease the hatred in my heart if they don't die!"”
"How are the casualties?"
"Five people died in battle and more than ten people were injured!”Huang Chang quickly replied," That bandit leader's martial arts are very strong. We were not careful and he injured our soldiers. Please punish us!"”
"Where's the bandit leader? Bring him up!"
A moment later, the soldier brought a burly man forward and shouted,""Kneel down!"
The burly man was also unyielding and refused to kneel. Xu Huang's axe struck his knee and he fell to his knees with a thud. He raised his fierce eyes and stared at Liu Yuan. He tried to stand up, but he was pressed down by the soldiers and couldn't struggle free.
"What is your name?" Liu Yuan's expression was terrifyingly calm.
"I, Hebei Wenchou, can be killed or cut up!”
"F * ck you!" Liu Yuan suddenly jumped up and kicked Wen Chou seven to eight feet away. He crashed into a big tree and landed on the ground.
"You're not a f * cking human!" Liu Yuan rolled up his sleeves and went forward to pick up Wen Chou, kicking and punching him. He cursed,"Slaughter the village? Killing the elderly and children? Abusing women? Son of a bitch! If I don't cut you into pieces today, I won't be surnamed Liu!”
Guo Jia, Chen Qun, Tian Feng, and Qiushou all stared at Liu Yuan with their mouths agape. They had never thought that this Han clan relative would have such a rude side to him!
"Do you know why my lord has the intention to rebel?”Guo Jia looked sideways at Tian Feng and said,"Look, this world is already beyond cure!" Humans were no longer humans, but beasts! Human lives were no longer human lives, but grass! The lord is determined to destroy before establishing, for the sake of the people of the world!”
Hearing this, Tian Feng lowered his head.
"Xu Gongming! He would drag this beast down and chop him into meat paste!”
Liu Yuan panted heavily, the pain in his heart was hard to dispel.
It was the first time he felt so uncomfortable and tired when he saw these innocent villagers being killed. Only now did he have a faint awareness of being a Han Dynasty citizen. Previously, when he came out of the village, he kidnapped Guo Jia and Chen Qun, bought an official position, opened a trading company, and captured Xu Huang and Huang Chang. He felt that it was just a game. He himself was a player. He looked at the poor people of the Han Dynasty as if he was not involved.
Now, he realized that this was not a game, but a real life!
Previously, he bought official posts and titles as a form of self-protection out of his subconscious fear of the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty. He only felt that with those things, he would be safe and sound, at least not die an unnatural death. Only now did he realize that he had to do something for the world wholeheartedly. Otherwise, how could he bear it? Where is your conscience?
At this moment, he did not even have the mood to go to Zhen Ding to look for Zhao Yun. He only thought about the people of Yuyang who were oppressed by the Hu Krupp and exploited by the wealthy families. Their lives were probably worse than those in the Central Plains!
"Sigh…" Liu Yuan looked up at the sky and sighed. He suppressed his thoughts and turned around to order,"Huang Chang, collect the corpses of the villagers and bury them.”After saying that, he left alone.
"This…" Qiushou was about to speak when he was pulled back by Guo Jia.
"Let the lord be quiet for a while."
Everyone was speechless.
"I only know that the world is hard, but I have never seen such a tragedy.”Tian Feng shook his head in a self-deprecating manner and said desolately,"Could it be that the burly man is really hopeless?”A strong sense of disappointment filled his heart.
At some point, Liu Yuan returned to the team with a relaxed expression. He must have cleared up the depression in his heart. He said solemnly,"I had a lot of concerns before, and I just made a decision. I will buy rations, recruit refugees, and eliminate bandits all the way to Yuyang!”
"But…"
"Feng Xiao, you don't have to say anything! I once heard that a man should do something and not do something. Now that refugees are flooding and tragedies are happening, as a shepherd, how can I not do what I can? The commoners are suffering!"
After confirming their target, the group immediately moved and headed straight for Yuyang!
