"Lin Yong, bring ten percent of your men with me.”
"Bighead, you take care of the house. There should be people coming to join the army today. Remember, we don't accept anyone under the age of sixteen and over the age of forty-five.”
Xiao Rang came to the barracks and left with a man after giving some instructions.
……
Chengshan Village,
The school was originally a place where the three elders were in charge of teaching and educating people. Now, it was used by a group of people who called themselves the Taiping Road as a place to spread religion.
"My fellow villagers who have suffered, don't expect the government to bring any changes to everyone. Our ancestors believed in them for more than a hundred years, but so what? Those officials had stinky wine and meat at home, but thousands of people starved to death every year!
As for our Gao Xian, ten years ago, there were seventy to eighty thousand people. Now, there are less than five to six thousand left. What a terrifying reduction.
I know that some people will definitely want to say that this is the work of those abominable foreign races. But think about it, if the Han Dynasty was strong, how could the Outsiders dare to invade our borders and slaughter our compatriots? If it weren't for the corruption of the officials, why would the common people not even have grain to grow when it's time to cultivate?”
In the school, a young man in plain clothes and a scarf was giving an impassioned speech.
As he bewitched them, the eyes of the commoners gradually changed.
From the initial doubts, it gradually became clearer.
The clarity of the Path of Peace!
Some people even began to yearn for the golden age they had constructed.
"Mr. Zhou, is Huang Tian really that good? Everyone would be able to eat and wear warm clothes, not be oppressed by the government, and not be afraid of the invasion of the foreign races?”The tourists of Chengshan Village looked at the young man who was giving the speech with some yearning.
Even he, a village official, was like this, let alone ordinary people.
More than a hundred villagers had gathered in the school, and almost half of them had been bewitched by them.
" Of course." The young man with the silk scarf nodded with certainty." These are the most basic things. The world we want to create is a world where everyone has meat to eat. As long as everyone is willing to work with us and overthrow the government, all of this will not be a problem!”
Bang!
At this moment, the door was suddenly blasted open.
A handsome young man walked in with his hands behind his back.
"I was wondering why I could smell the stench in the county town. It turns out that someone is so arrogant.”
The youth's mocking gaze landed on the youth named Zhou.
Behind him were ten soldiers with a murderous aura. They held bows and arrows in their hands and aimed at those who clearly did not look like villagers.
Seeing this youth, the villagers 'expressions changed slightly.
However, some young people were amused by his words.
These followers of the Path of Peace had not been in Gaoxian County for long to spread their faith, and the Path of Peace had not yet been fully rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Who are you?" Zhou sensed a strong sense of danger from the young man.
A hand quietly reached under the clothes on his back.
"Go ask your True God." Xiao Rang snorted coldly." The Road of Peace is deceiving people's hearts. He should be killed!”
Zhou's expression changed drastically. He had never expected that this refined looking youth would actually want to kill someone.
"Attack!"
They didn't sit still and wait for death. They took out a short dagger from under their clothes and pounced on Xiang Rang.
However, before they could take a step, they were pierced by arrows.
At such a close distance, Lin Yong and the others, who had reached 10 in archery, could guarantee that nothing would go wrong.
With just one round of arrows, the six people from the Path of Peace were wiped out.
The commoners huddled together in fear and looked at Xiao Rang in panic.
"Take the three elders, You Jiao, and Sifu away.”Xiao Rang said coldly.
As a local official, it was intolerable for him to allow the followers of the Taiping Sect to bewitch the people here. Even he himself had been bewitched.
Lin Yong and the others didn't say anything and went forward to arrest the three officials.
"The Path of Peace is an evil path. The golden age they built is just a pancake for everyone to satisfy their hunger. They would only bring everyone to death and hell. If he wanted to live a good life, he could only rely on his own efforts and not rely on others 'charity.”
"You have a large area of fertile farmland. If you cultivate it well, you will naturally become rich.”
Xiao Rang's cold voice echoed in the school.
He stood at the door, his straight body imposing without anger, and his cold eyes made it difficult for people to breathe.
"Milord, we don't even have grain to grow, how can we reclaim the land?”An old man mustered up his courage and asked.
"Seven days later, send someone to the county government to collect the grain.”
Xiao Rang said and then retreated!
After he left, a young man left the school first and ran toward the foot of Mount Cheng.
After running for the time it took to brew a cup of tea, they arrived at a remote small mountain village.
This was an abandoned mountain village. The villagers had moved to a relatively safe place in the south a few years ago.
Now, another group of people lived in the mountain village. They were the Taoist of Peace who came to Xuantu County to spread the doctrine.
"Zheng Yun? Why are you back? Aren't you preaching with Zhou Zheng in the village?”
Looking at the panting young man, an extremely beautiful girl in a tight dress who was practicing her sword asked in shock.
——————
The beauty who was about to appear said in shock. After watching, he actually didn't give her flowers or tips. You're all bad people.
