"Everyone, don't panic!"
Village Chief Liu waved his arms with all his might, trying to calm the crowd down. However, his voice was completely drowned out by the noisy crowd.
When Lu Yunrui saw this, she hurriedly shouted,"Everyone, quiet down first. Village Chief Liu has something to say!”
His voice drowned out the noise and spread far away. Following Lu Yunrui's voice, the crowd slowly quieted down.
Village Chief Liu nodded at Lu Yunrui and said,""Mr. Lu, you're right. But from what you said, the person who did this was someone in power with a large number of troops. We're all ordinary people. It won't be easy to bring them down, right?”
Lu Yunrui smiled and said,"That's right. It's not easy to topple them by relying on the people themselves." However, if we have evidence to prove that their actions are indeed unforgivable, it will not be difficult to find some high-ranking figures to preside over this matter and bring them down.”
Village Chief Liu's eyes flashed and then dimmed,""Sigh, you're right, but we're just ordinary people. How can there be any higher-ups to support us?”
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Old Man Zhang scolded,"You brat, he's already standing in front of you. Why do you still say that there's no one backing you up!”
Village Chief Liu was stunned by the scolding and couldn't help but size up Lu Yunrui and Du Tong.
Seeing that both of them were very young, she asked in confusion,"Uncle Zhang, who are you talking about? Why can't I tell at all!"
"Stupid!" "Do you know who he is?" Old Man Zhang pointed at Lu Yunrui.”
"Isn't he Mr. Lu?" "Isn't that so?" Village Chief Liu asked doubtfully.”
"He is the Chosen One!" Old Zhang seemed to be a little angry and shouted loudly.
This shout shocked Village Chief Liu and many villagers. Many people stared blankly at Lu Yunrui.
After a while, Village Chief Liu asked in disbelief,"Has the Chosen One really arrived?”
Old Zhang glared at him. How could I lie to you about such a big matter!”
Village Chief Liu immediately knelt on the ground. Please don't blame me for being blind!”
The crowd followed behind Village Chief Liu, and a large number of them knelt down, shouting,"Greetings, Lord God's Chosen One!"
Lu Yunrui quickly went forward to help Village Chief Liu up and said,"There's no need to be so polite!"
Then, he shouted,"Villagers, get up quickly! We still have a lot of things to do, so let's not waste any more time!”
When everyone heard this, they got up from the ground one after another.
"Village Chief Liu, is there anyone else in charge here besides you?" Lu Yunrui asked Village Chief Liu.”
"Yes, there are a few other village chiefs who are here as well."”
"The village chiefs of the other villages, please come to the front. We'll assign our tasks." Lu Yunrui immediately shouted.”
After shouting, he said to Old Man Zhang,"Uncle, I'll have to trouble you to work hard. First, bring a few people over and point out the location where the villagers are buried. Then, come back."”
"Don't leave this old uncle's side, and pay attention to his safety!"”
The two Water Guards responded and left with a few villagers.
It didn't take long for six or seven people to squeeze through the crowd.
Lu Yunrui didn't bother to chat with them. He directly asked them to divide the villagers into three teams. Each team was only responsible for digging up the corpses of the villagers in one village.
In the end, Lu Yunrui instructed," We'll use the local materials. We'll get the tools from the three villages. Once Uncle Zhang points out the location, we'll start digging immediately." They also had to prepare all kinds of vehicles that could be used to carry the bodies of the victims. In addition, I want to tell everyone that when moving the bodies of the victims, try not to touch them with your bare hands. It's best to wrap your hands with something, and it's best to cover your mouth and nose with something. This can reduce the harm of germs to the human body.”
After Lu Yunrui gave the order, the village chiefs immediately dispersed and began to organize the villagers present into teams.
By the time the village chiefs had divided the people into three groups and returned to Lu Yunrui, Old Zhang was already waiting on his unicorn.
Lu Yunrui immediately asked the guards to distribute the hundreds of masks and gloves that they had made overnight to the village chiefs. Then, he left a group of villagers behind and let Old Man Zhang lead the other two groups to search for the corpses of the villagers from the other two villages.
Lu Yunrui and the two village chiefs who stayed behind instructed the people to enter the village to get tools. They came to the hillside to the north of the village and quickly dug a big pit at the place where Old Man Zhang had pointed out. They found the bodies of the villagers who had died.
Although more than ten days had passed, for some unknown reason, the corpses of the villagers did not rot at all. Even the traces of rape on the naked headless female corpses were clearly preserved.
Seeing the corpses of these villagers, Old Man Zhang, who had just rushed back, could not help but cry, causing the people present to cry.
The group of people carried the villagers 'bodies onto the car in a flurry. Then, they found a cloth to cover them. They pushed the car in groups and headed towards Gufeng Village.
In Ancient Peak Village, everyone rested for a while. After the other two teams gathered, everyone followed the road and headed towards Peng City.
Not far away, a group of people walked over. They were all dressed for business. Seeing so many people heading towards Peng City, that group of people hurriedly blocked the road. The few village chiefs who were leading the way hurriedly went forward to talk.
Lu Yunrui was walking in the middle of the group. When he saw the group stop, he hurriedly rushed to the front.
As soon as he could see who was blocking the way, Du Tong whispered to Lu Yunrui,""It's Zuo Mingtang, Advisor Zuo."
Lu Yunrui nodded, but before she could say anything, she heard a loud shout coming from the front,""Do you know that this is a gathering of people to cause trouble? How many people here will lose their lives because of your actions! Men, arrest these people!”
Following Advisor Zuo's shout, several bailiffs immediately rushed forward and pressed the village chiefs to the ground.
"Wait!"
Lu Yunrui shouted and parted the crowd. Everyone's eyes were attracted by this shout and immediately focused on Lu Yunrui.
Private Advisor Zuo sized up Lu Yunrui, but suddenly turned his gaze behind Lu Yunrui and shouted in surprise,"Du Tong? Didn't you go missing? Why would he appear here?"
Then, he glanced at Lu Yunrui and asked in surprise,""Don't tell me you've joined the bandits?”
Du Tong curled his lips." Advisor Zuo, it's not like you don't know my character. How could I say such words?!"”
"Yes, that's what you say, Du Tong." Advisor Zuo nodded slightly. You have never been willing to submit to others, but I see that you are only respectful to this person. I wonder who he is?”
Without waiting for Du Tong to speak, Lu Yunrui interrupted,""Advisor Zuo, everything here is my decision, it has nothing to do with others. Please let go of the village chiefs first. If you have anything to say, feel free to tell me. I will bear all the responsibility!”
Advisor Zuo thought for a moment and waved at the bailiffs who were holding down the village chiefs. The bailiffs immediately let go of the village chiefs and retreated to the side.
Lu Yunrui cupped his hands at the village chiefs."I was a step late and frightened you!”
"We don't dare. We're just doing what we should do." Thank you, Lord God's Chosen One, for saving me!"
As soon as the words " Lord God's Chosen One " came out, the expressions of Advisor Zuo and the bailiffs behind him changed drastically.
"You are the Lord God's Chosen One?" Advisor Zuo blurted out.
"I'm not sure if he's the Chosen One or not." Lu Yunrui smiled. However, the Elf King and the Dwarf King all call me that.”
"Are you from another world?" Advisor Zuo asked.
"That's right, I'm not from this planet.”Lu Yunrui replied.
"Did you descend from the sky on a disc-shaped metal object?”Advisor Zuo asked again.
"Hehe, that's called a spaceship." Lu Yunrui smiled.
"Are there six humanoids beside you? And a weapon we've never seen before?”Advisor Zuo asked in one breath.
"If the humanoid you're referring to is a robot, then I can only say yes. As for the weapon, I don't know if you're talking about it.”
As Lu Yunrui spoke, he took out his Heavenly Halberd and held it in his hand.
When Advisor Zuo saw this, he immediately knelt down and said,""Greetings, Lord God's Chosen One!"
The bailiffs behind him also knelt down and paid their respects.
Lu Yunrui hurriedly put away his weapon and supported Advisor Zuo.""Everyone, there's no need to be so polite.”
Advisor Zuo stood up and looked at Lu Yunrui, then at the people behind him. He nodded as if he understood something and said to Lu Yunrui,"I seem to understand what you mean. However, I don't know how much Daren knows about Peng City's situation. Forgive me for being blunt, but although Daren is doing this for the sake of the people, it seems a little reckless and may very well bring disaster to the people. Please think carefully, my lord!"
"I don't know much about Pengcheng's situation. I wonder if Advisor Zuo can teach me?" Lu Yunrui smiled.”
Private Advisor Zuo chuckled and turned to Du Tong,"Hey, what have you been doing all this time? Why didn't you go back to the military camp?”
Du Tong smiled and said," I've been following Mister Lu all this while. I'll be Mister Lu's follower in the future. I won't be returning to the military camp ever again."”
Advisor Zuo smiled and punched Du Tong: "Kid, you're so lucky. You actually became the subordinate of the God's Chosen One. How enviable!”
After saying that, he turned to Lu Yunrui and said seriously,""Milord, I also want to work under you. I wonder if Milord is willing to take me in?”
"Haha, so you want to join us too!”Du Tong heard this and teased Advisor Zuo. Then, he said respectfully to Lu Yunrui,"Master, Advisor Zuo is resourceful and will definitely help you a lot. Please agree!”
Lu Yunrui did not speak, but stared intently into Private Advisor Zuo's eyes. Advisor Zuo, on the other hand, had a calm expression as he responded to Lu Yunrui's gaze.
Lu Yunrui smiled." I don't have a position. If Advisor Zuo doesn't mind being wronged, feel free to follow me."”
Hearing this, Advisor Zuo was overjoyed and immediately knelt down,""Thank you, my lord! Zuo Mingtang pays his respects to Master!"
"There's no need to be so polite. Get up!" Lu Yunrui said with a smile.”
Advisor Zuo stood up. The surrounding people came forward to congratulate Lu Yunrui and Private Advisor Zuo.
"I'll have to trouble you to have the bailiffs set up around the troops to protect them!" Lu Yunrui said to Advisor Zuo with a smile.”
Advisor Zuo immediately followed his instructions.
The team then continued their journey. This time, Lu Yunrui brought Advisor Zuo and Du Tong to the front of the group. Advisor Zuo and Du Tong were always walking behind Lu Yunrui. No matter how much Lu Yunrui persuaded them, the two of them refused to walk side by side with him. They were always one shoulder behind him.
"Advisor Zuo, you should know the situation in Peng City better. Please tell us, who are the people who have given up on following Fang Qian and Liu Hu?”Lu Yunrui asked.
Advisor Zuo did not seem surprised that Lu Yunrui had mentioned Fang Qian and Liu Hu's names. He thought for a moment and said,"As far as I know, there are not many who are truly loyal. One was the clerk Gu Feng, and the other four were the squadron leaders of the Divine Wind Legion. The rest were forced and not sincere.”
"Oh, as far as I know, you and Mayor Chu Huaiyuan have always been known as Fang Qian's right-hand men. What is Chu Huaiyuan's attitude?" Lu Yunrui asked again.
"Chu Huaiyuan has a strong personality and abhors evil. Fang Qian never let Chu Huaiyuan know about all the shady dealings in Pengcheng. He was afraid that Chu Huaiyuan would ruin his plans if he knew about it. In recent years, Chu Huaiyuan had also been aware of the Pengcheng incident, but he had no evidence. Although he did not fall out with Fang Qian, their relationship had become much more distant. Huaiyuan also asked me about it, but I didn't know the inside story, so I've been complained by him a lot.”Advisor Zuo replied.
Lu Yunrui nodded and didn't say anything else.
"Master, the other party has a large army. Isn't it too risky for us to do this?”Advisor Zuo asked.
Lu Yunrui replied,"I have already made arrangements for this matter. I will not take the lives of the people as a joke." You'll know when the time comes. Don't ask too much now.”
When Advisor Zuo heard this, he knew that Lu Yunrui was still somewhat wary of him, so he did not say anything more. However, he secretly made up his mind that he must show off his skills at the right time so that Lu Yunrui would trust and value him.
