246 Righteousness and surrender(1/2)
All the leaders of Tianwang Village were injured and covered in dust. Among them, Lu Longchuan was even more unconscious and was placed on a stretcher. The wound was only slightly bandaged and was still slowly oozing blood.
Fang Zhen was startled and said in surprise: "Oh, why is he so seriously injured? He is going to die, right?"
At this time, Lu Sheng, who was standing beside him, stepped forward two steps and clasped his fists and said:
"Don't worry, leaders, Lu Longchuan is very lucky and has not hurt the vital points. We have applied herbs to him, so most of them will not die."
When everyone heard this, they turned their heads and looked at Lu Sheng, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
"Good man, was it you who brought a group of rural brave men to catch Lu Longchuan?"
"Yes, it's Lu Sheng."
Lu Sheng nodded.
Fang Zhen was in a big mood and urged: "Tell me quickly, how did you catch him."
Everyone was also very interested, and they were curious about how Lu Longchuan fell into the hands of a group of villagers and was beaten to death.
"All the leaders of the good teaching know that Lulongchuan Road passes through Suolongling, and you need to find a guide..."
Lu Sheng told the process in a casual manner, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
After listening, everyone couldn't help but look at each other with admiration.
Guo Haishen couldn't help but praise:
"Although Lu Longchuan was defeated, there were hundreds of people. No ordinary village warriors could defeat him. Brother Lu was not afraid. He saw through the fluctuations of the enemy's morale and used a suspicious plan to pretend to be our Dragon King's camp ambushing soldiers to scare the soldiers and lure the enemy generals into a trap in a panic way. He can be said to be bold, careful, brave and resourceful, and a hero!"
Lu Sheng immediately clasped his fists and said loudly: "The head of Guo Er praised it, but it is not to be hiding it. I have been admiring Longwang Village for a long time. When I heard that the court came to attack, I have been trying my best to do my best. Now when the opportunity happened, I took the initiative to take down this defeated soldier. I want to make a letter of fame and go up the mountain and join the heroes together!"
"Okay!" Chen Feng shouted, then nodded and said, "Brother Lu captured the enemy's head, which is a great achievement. So I asked him to go up the mountain to sit on a chair."
Lu Sheng was overjoyed and said loudly: "I hope to serve the master of the village!"
After making such great contributions, everyone naturally had no objection and accepted the new leader one after another.
Chen Feng turned his head to look at Lu Longchuan and others. Sun Rong was the only one who was in good condition at the moment.
"Do you have something to say?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Rong smiled bitterly and said, "Master Chen, we have admitted our defeat. I hope to send a doctor to treat my leader and save his life temporarily."
"You can... take them back to the cottage and deal with it."
Chen Feng nodded casually and asked his subordinates to take a group of prisoners into the team.
...
The group pursued the enemy's leader to capture the enemy's head. Now that the goal has been completed, they immediately returned.
After returning to Longwang Village, Chen Feng did not delay and summoned all the captive leaders of the Tianwang Village.
In addition to Lu Longchuan and his group of more than a dozen people, dozens of leaders have long been captured.
Some were captured directly on the battlefield, while others were chased and captured after they were separated. In total, there were more than 50 leaders, accounting for more than half of the Tianwang Village.
As for the other leaders, the ones who died and fled, they had nowhere to go.
In the hall, a group of Tianwang Village leaders were taken in, and they were all dejected.
All the leaders of the Dragon King Village sat on their own chairs, staring at the captives with a bright look.
Chen Feng's face was expressionless and spoke casually:
"Come, let's loosen the leaders."
After the words came, a minion immediately came up to loosen the ropes of the people in Tianwang Village.
Everyone's faces changed, but even if they were free, they did not dare to resist at all.
They all knew Chen Feng's ability, and this man was like a stabilizing needle, which calmed down the turmoil in their hearts.
Lu Longchuan's injuries were not healed, his face was pale, and he was still weak, so he spoke actively:
"Zhengzhu Chen, we are not as skilled as others, and we have nothing to say. If we want to kill or cut, we will all listen to the emperor."
He looked lonely and his back was hunched, and he looked old because he lost his foundation. He was already discouraged.
Hearing this, many leaders of Tianwang Village also shouted, all of whom were willing to die, and they felt that they were defeated by the king and the enemy was unlucky.
However, they did not speak harshly to Chen Feng. Although they were captured due to the defeat, they dared not disobey. Chen Feng's bravery had already intimidated them.
Xiang Tianjie didn't speak, feeling uncomfortable.
He was kept in prison by Lu Longchuan and was not captured on the battlefield. Instead, when Tianwang Village was defeated, no one came to care about him. He was captured in the cell and transferred directly to the prison of Longwang Village. He did not even have a chance to resist throughout the whole process.
Chen Feng looked around everyone and waited for them to be quiet before he spoke slowly:
"You Tianwang Village was once a hero in the Green Forest, but you are willing to be a lackey in the court. The reputation accumulated over the years has been lost all over the world. People in the Green Forest are disgusted. I wonder if you feel a little ashamed when you use your former Green Forest colleague as a stepping stone to get promoted and make a fortune?"
As soon as these words were said, many leaders showed shame.
Lu Longchuan twitched his face and said softly: "Chen Feng, if you win, you will win. You will be humiliated and even humiliated us. Just chop our heads up!"
Chen Feng shook his head: "No matter what, Tianwang Village has been kind to my elder brother. I can let you all go back."
Everyone was stunned, then widened their eyes, and was surprised.
All of my own group were caught in one go, would the other party still be willing to let the tiger go back to the mountain?
Guo Haishen's face changed slightly: "Second brother, I..."
Chen Feng waved his hand to stop him from speaking, and said seriously:
"I not only want your lives, but also give you another choice... Stay in my village and join the green forest again, and save your reputation for life."
Everyone's faces changed.
Xiang Tianjie spoke in a deep voice: "You want to surrender me?"
Chen Feng nodded, and did not hide it: "Yes, although you were invited by the court, after these two years, the court's official position should have also seen it. They were hiding evil intentions and thought that the cunning rabbit died and the lack of food would cause us to suffer both of us. Now you have lost a lot and have no good results after you go back."
Everyone's faces were gloomy and sunny.
Chen Feng continued: "You have been heroes of the green forest and heroes who stand upright. If you still want to go back and curry favor with traitors, cling to the powerful and powerful, and do your best, I will not stop you. If you are willing to stay and follow us to participate in the grand ceremony, you will submit to me."
Without waiting for everyone to respond, he paused, pointed at Lu Longchuan, and his tone became cold:
"But it's not included in Commander Lu. You personally led the Tianwang Village to join the court and attacked us again, killing many of our children. It would be good if you didn't kill you. It would be impossible to keep you. Chen was ashamed to be with you. You will roll down the mountain in a few days and don't be upset in front of grandpa."
Lu Longchuan's face suddenly turned red.
When he heard Chen Feng’s proposal just now, his mind became active and he was still thinking about whether to agree. Unexpectedly, the other party directly expressed his opinion that he only didn’t want him, and his contempt was beyond words.
Seeing this, the leaders of the Tianwang Village looked at each other with a hesitant look.
They were also a little moved by the choice of staying in Longwang Village. If Lu Longchuan agreed, they would join the gang immediately without thinking... But Chen Fengbai clearly didn't want Lu Longchuan, so where should they go?
Is it because of the brotherly loyalty of all years that followed Lu Longchuan back to the court? Or is it that he cut off his robe and no longer follows Lu Longchuan, and stays in Longwang Village alone?
Lu Longchuan gritted his teeth, knowing that the other party would not accept him, so he threw himself into pieces and asked, "Chen Feng, your power has been established now. What are your intentions? Do you want to keep occupying the mountain and becoming king and cause trouble in the world?"
Chen Feng looked at him, suddenly stood up, and shouted to everyone present:
"Brothers, since I entered Huyang, I have become the Lord Qingtian in the mouth of the people. I have also distributed a lot of land to farmers to cultivate, and the ploughers have land. They have less taxes and taxes. They are grateful and do not have to sell their children and daughters. They can live a winter that will not starve to death... Only in this way, it will be better than most people in this world. It can be seen how oppression and humiliation the government has, how can they not have a huge public grievance?
In today's world, those powerful and powerful gentry regard the people as pigs and dogs, plunder the people's wealth, suck blood and sweat, harm the public and private, and ignore the lives and death of the people, and no one can do anything to them. So I whistle to the mountains and forests to cleanse the world and slaughter all the families and powerful families that have sucked the bones and marrows of the people.
No matter what landlords, powerful men or princes, they will kill them when they see them. They will also teach them that they can be superior to others by wearing official skins. They can ride on people's heads to scatter and pee, and we can still make his blood splash five steps!"
Lu Longchuan slapped his face: "Do you really want to rebel? This is a great rebellion!"
Chen Feng waved his hand and shouted:
"You are the court? Why don't you dare to rebel? Since the court regards us as a rebellion, what are you afraid of us being a hero who will really rise up in the future?"
"Brother said it well!"
Everyone was excited and cheered.
If he had been in the early stage of building a village, he would have made rebellious words, and perhaps many leaders would be worried.
But after years of influence and the trust of winning streaks, Chen Feng has called for rebellion, and everyone is not panicked at all. The awe and yearning for the orthodox court are gone, and they can be said to be a group of lawless people.
Many leaders of Tianwang Village were also dumbfounded. When they heard Chen Feng telling his ambitions in person for the first time, they felt a passion in their hearts and were infected by this passion.
Most of them are from poor people and are born with people who do not like power.
After a while of commotion, Xiang Tianjie suddenly gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind and stepped out of the line.
In full view of everyone, he clasped his fists at Lu Longchuan and said slowly:
"Master Lu, I have followed you in battles across the country for more than ten years, and I have always been your leader. Once you were chivalrous and a hero, I am willing to hold your horse and hold your whip for you. Later, the Tianwang Village became bigger and bigger, and you said you wanted to take your brothers to accept the amnesty. Although I was not happy, I also obeyed the orders.
But since you were recruited, you have become more and more frivolous, clinging to the powerful and currying treacherous ministers. In my eyes, you are no longer the king of heaven. This time, you will be sent to Huyang for a lifetime and die. After so many brothers, you have achieved all your loyalty and righteousness. From then on, I will no longer follow you. Today I will tear my robe and break my righteousness and have nothing to do with you!"
After saying that, Xiang Tianjie tore off a robe and threw it on the ground.
Before everyone could come back to their senses, Xiang Tianjie turned to Chen Feng, clasped his fists and spoke in a deep voice:
"The Lord Chen is a hero of the world. I am willing to stay in Huyang and be a small soldier under the Lord Chen's tent!"
"You, you..." Lu Longchuan was stunned, trembled with anger, and pointed at Xiang Tianjie.
To be continued...
