Chapter 21 Requirements
I was forced, and I kept saying this to myself. Although I had been an ancient general, with thousands of troops under my command, and wherever I went, the enemy would surrender, but that was just a dream after all.
Now, I have really become someone else's lord, and it's still forced.
Although Gao Shun and Xiahou Lan told me the reason, my mind was still a little bit unreal. What's going on? I just worshipped me as my lord at once? This is the surprise they gave me? Why do I think this is a fright?
There is no way to do this. Faced with so many soldiers in the audience, since I have already helped Gao Shun and Xiahou Lan up with my own hands, it is natural that I can't feel cold to their hearts. So I waved my hand and made a smile that I thought was very kind, and said, "Brothers, please come on. Zhao Yun is here to thank everyone for your trust. Since everyone calls me the lord, then I will say a few words."
Everyone in the audience stood up and looked at me.
"Zhao Yun was born as a poor man. To put it bluntly, he was just like everyone else and a child from a poor family!" I said with a smile, and it was interesting. Everyone in the audience was amused. I pressed my hands and signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Since everyone respects me and is willing to worship me as their lord, if I postpone it, it will be no more face." Then, I looked around and my eyes became sharp, and said, "However, since everyone worships me as their lord, then I also want to say a few requirements."
The audience suddenly started to make a fuss, as if many people were incredible and even a little angry. We worship you as our lord to respect you, but you dare to make requests?
I didn't say anything, turned to look at Gao Shun.
Gao Shun's influence was indeed very high. He stepped forward, shouted angrily, and said, "Quiet, listen to the lord's advice!" Then, everyone in the audience was silent.
"I know everyone is a little dissatisfied, why should I make a request?" I smiled and said, "I suggest you listen to me first. Actually, I don't want to say much. First, we are all poor people. Whether it's war or other things in the future, I hope you don't do things that are contrary to morality. Treat the people with kindness and help, be honest and helpless, and do not take any stitches from the people! Be sure to do it, don't demolish houses when you freeze to death, and don't plunder when you starve to death! In short, burning, killing, looting, don't blame me for being ruthless!" When I spoke, my tone was very heavy, and I unconsciously showed murderous aura!
Everyone took a step back and looked at me in a little frightened manner.
"This is the first point!" I stretched out a finger and said, "The second point, although everyone is called lord, then, everyone must do my orders, and I say that I must do it, then I must do it, and I say that I cannot do it, then I must not do it. If there are disobedients, there will be no mercy! This is, ban on orders!"
"Third point!" I did not give everyone in the audience a chance to react, and continued, "Since everyone is here, then it is my brother Zhao Yun. I, Zhao Yun, promised that as long as I am there, I will never allow my brother to be bullied! I hope you are the same. We can compete, compete, and compete with each other. However, once outsiders bully our brother, even if they die, they will be skinned!"
"The fourth point is the supplement to the third point. In today's chaotic times, there are risks everywhere. I hope that all of us will practice hard every day to exercise ourselves. On the one hand, we will not be hurt, and on the other hand, we will protect our brothers and family from harm!"
"Fifth point," I raised five fingers on the ground, and then my mind suddenly got stuck. Actually, I was thinking about these things suddenly. I was talking all the mess, and I didn't know if anyone else could understand them. I was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, I have thought of so much at the moment, but these must be implemented immediately. If anyone thinks that I can't do it, I, Zhao Yun, applaud and send it off!"
After saying this, I stood there and looked at everyone in the audience. I knew that these conditions were actually a bit harsh for these people, especially the first point. The reason why these people joined the Yellow Turban Army was that they had no food. Now, following me, I can't even rob them. What's the point?
So, as I expected, someone walked out tentatively and looked back at me. Seeing that I didn't say anything or did nothing, I left directly.
Then, one after another, people walked out of the queue and left the camp with the man.
Gao Shun and Xiahou Lan did not speak either. Since they had worshipped me as their lord, my intention was naturally their intention. Even if they were not, they would not immediately violate it.
One after another, people left. After a while, more than half of them were empty out of the audience. There were only about a thousand people who stayed, including some elderly and weak.
I smiled and said, "Everyone has thought about it. My requirements are very strict. Moreover, maybe some more stringent requirements will be added in the future. Can you bear it?"
"Zhao... lord, can you ask a few questions?" a white-haired old man said.
"Please speak!" I said with a smile.
"What the lord just said just now, don't tear down the house if you freeze to death, and don't plunder if you starve to death, but it's true?" the old man asked.
"Of course!" I nodded and said, "My village was robbed by someone. I know the pain of bereavement. I don't want to see such things happening in more families. So, I hope that I, including my brothers, don't do these things that go against the law of nature! What's more, I hope everyone can go over and protect them!"
"Then, what if we have no food?" the old man continued to ask.
"It's true whether there is food or not!" I said seriously, "Believe me, as long as we can help and protect others, maybe God will repay us?" I was very superstitious about this, but I know that people in ancient times were actually very superstitious.
"Of course," I continued: "As long as I, Zhao Yun, eat it in one bite, I will never let everyone starve!"
"The little old man knows!" The old man nodded, then pulled the two middle-aged men and a few young men next to him, and knelt on the ground together, saying, "The lord is here, I'll pay my respects!"
"Please get up!" I waved my hand and said, "Uncle, can you tell Yun, why are you like this?"
"The lord is a talented man and a kind heart. The old and old villages were also slaughtered by bandits. He had no choice but to fall here. He originally wanted to rob others, but when he heard what the lord said today, he felt deeply ashamed. After today, only the lord will follow his orders!"
