The commoners lined the streets to welcome Li Taixuan until he reached the City Lord's Mansion. However, because Li Taixuan had not yet entered the City Lord's Mansion, these commoners did not leave. Instead, they surrounded him.
Looking at the people who were unwilling to leave for a long time, Li Taixuan felt that he should say something at this time, so he shouted,"Well, fellow villagers, you should go back and take a rest. I, Li Taixuan, have already known your intention. Don't worry. As long as I, Li Taixuan, am in Youzhou City, I will never let the Turks hurt you!”
"Long live the God of War!"
"Lord Li Taixuan is really too good to us!”
The commoners burst into cheers again, and they could not help but try to walk forward.
Commandant Zhou, who was standing at the side, quickly waved his hand and ordered his hundred soldiers to step forward to stop them. At the same time, he ordered the militia to continue maintaining order to prevent the stampede from happening.
"Everyone, go back and rest.”Li Taixuan waved his hand again.
After saying that, he turned around and planned to enter the City Lord's Mansion. He finally knew that these commoners would not leave until his figure disappeared.
Just as Li Taixuan was about to enter the City Lord's Mansion, a figure suddenly rushed over from the side. As he ran, he shouted,"My lord, my lord."
"Stop! Don't push forward!" The two soldiers noticed the man who was advancing and unceremoniously crossed their spears to block him.
"Bastard, can't you see the official uniform I'm wearing? You, a mere soldier, actually dare to stop me from meeting my lord?”This person was wearing an official robe and was cursing angrily.
"Bah, I don't care who you are. I said you're not allowed to squeeze over.”The soldier was unmoved by the official's threat. Instead, he replied disdainfully.
"How dare you!" The official shouted angrily, but he was helpless. How could a weak man like him be a match for two soldiers? He could not break through the blockade and advance in front of Li Taixuan.
"What's going on? Since he's an official, why don't you let him in? This was the City Lord's Mansion. He should be back to deal with official business, right?”Li Taixuan, who was about to enter, heard the sound and turned around to look. He asked in confusion.
Li Jun and the 30 female soldiers were also very curious.
"Lord War God, you don't know that there are any officials in Youzhou City. They had all run away an hour ago. This guy probably didn't run away and found a place to hide. He only came out when he heard the news of victory.”As Field Officer Zhou said this, he could not help but look disgusted with the official. His eyes were filled with disdain and contempt.
"An officer who fled at the last moment?" Li Taixuan was a little surprised. He glanced at Li Jun and saw that she didn't say anything. He continued,"Anyway, let him in first and listen to what he has to say.”
"Yes." Hearing this, Commandant Zhou waved his hand and shouted,""Let that guy in."
"Hmph, you two little soldiers will have a good time later.”The official proudly tidied his official robe and strode in with a flattering expression.
"Greetings, General Li Jun and Lord War God.”The official came before Li Taixuan. He cupped his hands and bowed to Li Jun before bowing to Li Taixuan.
From this, it could be seen that this guy was very interested in the level of official rank.
Li Taixuan nodded and suddenly asked,"About that, Commandant Zhou said that you ran away an hour before the Turks prepared to attack the city. Is that true?”
"Uh, uh, that's true." The official stammered as he replied. Beads of sweat were vaguely seen on his forehead as his brain quickly thought of a way to deal with it.
Li Jun, who was standing at the side, snorted in dissatisfaction and said coldly,"Looking at your official robe, you're a seventh-grade official. Don't you know that the Great Tang's law says that those who flee will be executed immediately?”
"That, that." The official racked his brains to think of a solution. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he smiled obsequiously."Tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers attacked Youzhou City, but no reinforcements arrived after half a month. Thus, this humble official saw that the war was hopeless, and had no choice but to abandon the city and flee. This humble official thought that it would be better to escape for a while than to die in vain. In the future, if I continue to serve the Great Tang, wouldn't it be more useful than losing my life in vain?”
Hearing the official's shameless words, Li Jun's cold face immediately turned into a smile.
However, before Li Jun could say anything, the commoners who were stopped not far away heard it and immediately became angry.
"Dog official, f * ck you. You're clearly running away!”
"That's right. You keep saying that you're useful, but in fact, you're useless. When there's no war, aren't you still exploiting us commoners?”
"That's right, you piece of sh * t. When you ran away from the battle, you didn't forget to bring beautiful concubines and maids, as well as carts of treasures.”
"When you were an official, did you do anything good for us commoners? Bah, shameless bastard!"
The angry commoners revealed all the good deeds that the seventh-grade official had done.
The official's expression changed drastically and he roared angrily,""All of you peasants shut up for this official. How can you bumpkins interrupt when a big shot is talking?”
"Hehe, this lord really has a great official prestige!”Li Jun sneered and mocked.
"This lowly official doesn't have any official authority. These bumpkins are slandering this lowly official. If I don't scold them and teach them a lesson, they won't be obedient people. These unruly people only want to cause trouble all day long.”The official spoke with conviction. He did not feel ashamed at all. Instead, he felt that he had done the right thing.
"You're really shameless. You're so shameless. Why don't you jump into the manure pit?”Li Taixuan said sarcastically. If his wife wasn't a general and this matter wasn't under his control, he would have killed this shameless guy with a hammer.
"You! You!" The official hadn't expected Li Taixuan to mock him in such a manner. He pointed at Li Taixuan, his face red with anger.
In his eyes, Li Taixuan could be a hero or a peasant. Without an official position, he was inferior to him!
Since Li Taixuan was not wearing any armor or official robes, he was certain that Li Taixuan was also a noob. If it wasn't for Li Jun, who had a higher official position than him, he would have used his official position to order Commandant Zhou to arrest Li Taixuan and punish him.
Fortunately, Li Jun didn't disappoint Li Taixuan. She instantly drew her sword and arrived in front of the official. Under his panicked and disbelieving gaze, she chopped off his head and shouted,"Those who flee will be executed immediately!"
"Good!" The commoners clapped their hands and cheered.
