The elites of the Northern Liang Army were all following Li Rui. They had crawled out of the Beacon Fortress, a battlefield of dead people, and were loyal to the army that had defeated the 100,000 Tibetan elites. A plague would not scare the Northern Liang Army away.
Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Dian Wei, Meng Yi, and the others were all present.
The 10-Star Loyalty officials and strategists naturally followed Li Rui to the death. Even though Cao Cao had tried to persuade them, they followed Li Rui into Tonghua Lane.
One of the delinquents reached for the crossbow at his waist, but a triangular alloy arrowhead pierced through his head. The black-gold arrow was nailed to the wooden pillar, seven inches into the wood. One could see its terrifying penetrating power.
"Anyone who dares to move will die!" Huo Qubing said coldly.”
General Zhao braced himself and shouted,"" Don't move, this is the Liang Emperor!"
There was a commotion in the Right Dawn Guard. Some of the newcomers saw Li Rui for the first time, and the expressions of those bad guys changed drastically. They knelt down on one knee and cupped their fists."Wannian County's bad ginseng greets His Highness the Prince of Liang!”
"Let go of her. Don't scare the child." Li Rui pointed at the seven-year-old child.
Immediately, some delinquents went forward to release him, but he still knelt down.
Li Rui understood bad people. They specialized in doing dirty and tiring work for the imperial court. Most bad people would not even last three years. They would either be killed by bandits, go crazy, or face the darkness all day long and walk the evil path with twisted minds!
Bad people are just petty officials who obey their superiors.
As a bad person, once he disobeyed his superior's orders, he would be secretly executed. Moreover, most bad people were hidden!
Li Rui looked at the burning fire. There were a lot of charred corpses inside. Someone had specially handled them and transported them away.
Everyone's faces were flushed red from the fire. Li Rui asked softly,""How many people were executed?"
"Three hundred and five old and weak, one hundred and twenty-one boys and girls, seventy-five children and teenagers, a total of four hundred and eighty-one people!”
The delinquent on the left gave the precise number. He watched everything that happened that night.
However, he could not change it. As a bad person, he could only listen to orders. If he objected, he would be replaced, and the outcome would be a secret execution.
He cupped his fists and lowered his head.”
"Why?"
Li Rui asked with his back facing him.
He looked down at his hands and said,""These hands are stained with the blood of the Great Tang!"
The lives of the people of the Great Tang were the blood of the Great Tang!
As for the wicked, although they were citizens of the Great Tang, they were a chronic disease of the Great Tang, so they naturally deserved to be killed!
But the innocent people of Tonghua Lane were citizens of the Great Tang.
A black gold crossbow appeared in Li Rui's left hand. The tri-edged alloy arrowhead flashed with the light of a cross star. He only needed to pull the trigger lightly to take Xu Geng's life!
"Who else wants to die?" Li Rui shouted coldly.”
"All the bad guys in Wannian County, please die!”
The rest of the delinquents turned around and knelt down on one knee, lowering their heads.
This was the reason why bad people usually couldn't last three years. The dark things they experienced today had crushed their psychological defenses. They had strangled children and teenagers one by one because they had contracted the plague!
Weng!
Li Rui raised the Black Gold Battle Crossbow in his hand and shot it at a person. It was an official dressed in a green robe from the Right Minister's Residence. He hid at the back of the crowd, cold sweat dripping down his back, not daring to make a sound!
But did he think that Li Rui wouldn't notice him?
What a joke!
Li Rui shouted coldly," The ones who should die are him and that trash Lin Jiulang, not you. Do you know who Wannian County belongs to?"”
"Wannian County is mine. It belongs to Li Rui, Prince Liang of the Great Tang!”
"I once said that the people of Wannian County, regardless of age, women, and children, are all people that I, Li Rui, have to protect. Anyone who dares to touch you is declaring war against me, Li Rui!”
"So, how could I kill you? How could I bear to hurt you?”
……
Li Rui's words reverberated in the small courtyard. All the delinquents raised their heads in unison, their eyes flashing with disbelief.
When had anyone ever said such things to the delinquents who lived in the dark? Even those petty officials would look down on them.
The person who said these words today is the War God of the Great Tang, Prince Liang, Li Rui!
Li Rui said," All of you, get up. You are the bad guys of Wannian County. You are my people. Who will you listen to from now on?"”
"Liang Prince Li Rui!"
All the delinquents, including the delinquents outside the courtyard, knelt down again and said the name that they had believed in their entire lives!
Xu Geng raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes as he shouted hoarsely,""Bad person Xu Geng, I swear to follow Prince Liang to the death. I will be Prince Liang's subordinate in life and the soul of the Great Tang in death. I will protect Prince Liang for the rest of my life!”
"The king of bad people is like a mountain, I swear to follow Prince Liang to the death!”
"Bad guy Xue Guyi…"
……
All the bad guys, tell me their names. From now on, they will be loyal to Li Rui!
Li Rui muttered softly," To be a subordinate in life, to be the soul of the Great Tang in death, a bad person, the last conscience of the Great Tang!”
After repeating his words, Li Rui raised his left hand and shot out the Black-Gold Crossbow again, killing another green-robed official.
The Right Prime Minister's Office sent five officials, accompanied by eight minor officials, to execute the infected patients in Tonghua Square.
"Kill them all," Li Rui said softly,"to pay homage to the innocents who died!”
"Yes, sir!"
Xu Geng quietly made his move and shot out the crossbow, hitting the target 100%!
