From the fake emperor to the concubine

Even though this old eunuch was a diehard lackey of the Zhao family, he would rather risk getting injured than save Zhao Mingtang.

This approach has also won the admiration of many people in Hewan Village.

But no one expected that in the end, the old eunuch not only did not get a single word of praise, but was beaten and kicked by Zhao Mingtang.

Many people feel a little indignant.

"I didn't do my job well, and the young master was right to punish me."

But then, when everyone saw the old eunuch's timid look, the admiration they had originally felt turned into contempt.

"When I see his servile look, I feel like vomiting."

"You are a human being after all, you can't be so mean, right?"

"That idiot, treating him as a human being is overestimating him."

"Why didn't I think the Zhao family was so annoying before? I really want to punch him hard."

Although the old eunuch came to his rescue in time, his presence did not change Zhao Mingtang's current situation.

Those guards were knocked down one by one by the people of Hewan Village.

Although the old eunuch was stronger than ordinary villagers, he could only fight back helplessly in front of Zheng Yi.

If he hadn't been injured before, the old eunuch could have barely held on for a while. But now that he had been hit by Zheng Yi in order to protect Zhao Mingtang, his strength had been greatly reduced, and he was no match for them.

Moreover, he has a guy like Zhao Mingtang who is a traitor to his teammates.

If the old eunuch returned to him, Zhao Mingtang would have broken out with the old eunuch and might have had a chance to fight their way out.

Under the circumstances at that time, as long as they could rush out of Hewan Village, if the old eunuch tried his best to stop Zheng Yi, Zhao Mingtang would run for his life with his pretty good cultivation level, and the people of Hewan Village who had just started practicing might not be able to catch up with him.

However, this stupid guy not only failed to seize the only chance to escape, but wasted it on teaching a lesson to the old eunuch who saved him.

It's obvious that people like this are living too comfortable a life and have no sense of crisis at all.

Until the people of Hewan Village knocked down all the guards and surrounded the two men.

At this moment, they had completely lost any chance of escape.

Zhao Mingtang's expression was distorted: "You peasants, don't you know who I am? Now make way for me. I may give you a chance to live."

"Otherwise, both you peasants and your families will die!"

If you make too many threats but fail to deliver on them, the deterrent effect will be greatly reduced.

Before, the people of Hewan Village were wary of Zhao Mingtang's identity, and were really a little scared.

But now this guy was surrounded by them, and although he seemed extremely arrogant, there was actually no confidence in his voice.

Those people no longer took his words to heart.

What's more, what Zheng Yi said before was also right. At this point, whether they let Zhao Mingtang go or not, they would probably die.

Rather than letting Zhao Mingtang go and waiting for him to lead the army to wipe them out, it would be better to fight to the death now and kill them to silence them.

Whether it was Zhou Kunshan or Zhou Yang and others, they completely ignored Zhao Mingtang's threat and slowly approached the two people they surrounded with murderous intent.

Zhao Mingtang, who had always been domineering and reckless, was really scared at this time.

Because of the Zhao family's status, no one dared to oppose whatever he did before.

This also gave Zhao Mingtang an illusion.

He felt that he was very powerful and awesome, and looking at the whole world, there was nothing that could fear him.

But now, when these people completely tore apart the protective shield that the Zhao family had woven for them, and made them face a real life and death situation.

Only then did Zhao Mingtang realize that he was not fearless.

At least, he is afraid of death.

Although he still wanted to show the arrogant look of the Zhao family's son, his pale face and trembling legs had already made everyone see his depth.

Not knowing what to do, Zhao Mingtang could only place his hopes on the old eunuch.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and stop these untouchables!" Zhao Mingtang's voice was almost sharper than the old eunuch's because he was too frightened.

At this time, the old eunuch was already beginning to get annoyed with Zhao Mingtang.

What time is it? And you still want to put on such a high and mighty air.

If this guy really had this kind of courage, why would he be trembling all over?
But people like him depend on the Zhao family to survive. Whether he thinks highly of Zhao Mingtang or not is not important. In this situation, he must do everything he can to keep Zhao Mingtang alive.

"Stop!" the old eunuch roared, "I'm telling you, I've already sent someone back to give you a heads-up. The imperial army will be here in no time."

"Our young master has already said that if we are allowed to leave now, our young master will let you go because you were just confused for a moment, so he will show some leniency and give you a chance to live."

"If you dare to touch our young master, all your nine clans will be in trouble."

"Anyone who harms the descendants of the Zhao family will have their entire family buried with them. Anyone who harms the lives of our descendants will have their entire clan executed."

"This is the order given by the ancestor of the Zhao family who shattered the void and became an immortal before ascending to heaven. Do you really dare to disobey it?"

Although the old eunuch's voice was sharp, his words were powerful.

The most important thing, of course, is that people have been sent to get help.

This is really a deterrent to the people of Hewan Village.

Originally, these people were just angry for a moment. They had just started to live a good life, but the young master of the Zhao family brought people to cause trouble for them.

According to Zheng Yi's original statement, as long as these people were killed without anyone noticing, there would naturally be no future troubles.

Although the Cang Yan Realm is the world of the Zhao family, the entire Cang Yan Realm is so large that it would be impossible for one or two members of the Zhao family to know about it.

Only by doing this can you preserve your good life.

Of course, the people of Hewan Village didn't know that Zheng Yi was fooling them.

The Zhao family has ruled the Cang Yan Realm for who knows how many years, and their tentacles have long extended to the entire Cang Yan Realm.

If someone dies suddenly, they may not be able to find out in a short time.

But as time goes by, they will definitely find out that something is wrong.

If they didn't even have this ability, those members of the Zhao family who were active outside would have been killed long ago.

After all, no matter how many children the Zhao family can give birth to, their true bloodline is limited.

Compared with all the people in the entire Cang Yan Realm, the number of their Zhao family members is just a drop in the ocean.

The reason why they can command the entire Cang Yan Realm is not only because they have an ancestor who shattered the void.

The more important point is to ensure that no one in the entire Cang Yan Realm dares to touch the Zhao family.

Whenever such an accident occurs, they must retaliate in the most cruel and bloody way.

Because, once the invulnerable golden body of the Zhao family is broken, all the people oppressed by them will inevitably attack them like a pack of wolves besieging an elephant.

But these things must never be told to the people of Hewan Village.

Now his big plan has just started, and the people of Hewan Village are not his real supporters.

The most fundamental reason why they were willing to follow Zheng Yi was actually just because Zheng Yi allowed them to eat meat.

This kind of relationship is very unreliable and may not stand the real test.

If he wants these people to be truly loyal to him, he needs to win again and again to build up their confidence.

Knowing this, these people no longer had any doubts about his words.

Even if he asked these people to fight against God, they would pick up weapons and rush forward without hesitation.

Now, the people in Hewan Village were really frightened by the old eunuch, and everyone stopped.

Zhou Kunpeng said angrily: "What are you all standing there for? You don't really think that the Zhao family will be soft-hearted towards us, do you?"

"I'm telling you, if the imperial army comes, we will surely die."

Many people in the crowd began to waver.

"But village chief, what if this guy can really do what he says?"

"Idiot, is there something wrong with your brain that you actually believe what the Zhao family said?"

"But we don't have any other choice now. Are we really going to wait for the soldiers to come and kill us all?"

"Yes, I can die, but I can't let my son get hurt."

Seeing how shaken these people were, Zhou Kunshan subconsciously looked at Zheng Yi behind him.

As a result, Zheng Yi looked into the distance, not knowing what he was looking at.

He seemed to not care at all about what was happening before his eyes.

Just as the villagers were hesitating, the old eunuch quickly sent a message to Zhao Mingtang: "Sir, you should swear now that you will never harm the people of Hewan Village in the future."

Zhao Mingtang raised his eyebrows and immediately retorted: "Asshole, what are you crazy about? You actually want me to give a guarantee to these mud-legged low-class people? This is absolutely impossible."

"As long as I am free from this predicament, the first thing I will do is lead the army to kill all these abominable untouchables without sparing a single one!"

The old eunuch really wanted to slap this guy a few times to make him wake up.

Don't you realize what the situation is now? Why are you still putting on such airs?

Fortunately, Zhao Mingtang was not so stupid and knew that he could not continue to provoke the people of Hewan Village at this time.

So the rebuttal was conveyed through voice instead of being spoken directly.

The old eunuch persuaded earnestly: "My lord, the most important thing for us now is to leave this troubled place."

"Even if you make a promise, what does it matter? As long as we can return alive, anyone can kill all these untouchables."

"It would be a huge joke if you really died at the hands of these untouchables."

"Even if the soldiers came and killed all these people to avenge you, what would be the point?"

After thinking for a while, the old eunuch rolled his eyes and said, "The most important thing is... Sir, think about it. If that were the case, wouldn't it be equivalent to using the lives of these lowly people to exchange for your life?"

The old eunuch's words finally touched Zhao Mingtang's sensitive nerves.

"You are right, you dog slave. My life is so noble. Not to mention the lives of the untouchables in a village, even the lives of tens of thousands of untouchables are not as valuable as a hair of my head."

Zhao Mingtang, who was enlightened by the old eunuch, suddenly became enlightened, as if he had an epiphany.

He hurriedly and anxiously said to the villagers of Hewan Village: "I swear to the ancestors now that as long as you are willing to let me go, I will never pursue your actions today."

"If I break my oath, I will be struck to death by the heavenly tribulation that the Zhao family's ancestor experienced when he shattered the void, and I will never be able to reincarnate."

When swearing, Zhao Mingtang did not forget to recite it silently in his heart.

"Grandfather, I was forced to swear this oath. I will not hold these lowly people accountable. But my not holding them accountable does not mean that other members of the Zhao family will not intervene."

"When the time comes, they are determined to kill all these untouchables, but it has nothing to do with me."

Hearing that Zhao Mingtang, the young master of the Zhao family, swore a solemn oath in front of them, more and more people were shaken.

If possible, they didn't want to kill anyone from the Zhao family.

Zhou Kunshan looked at Zheng Yi again, wanting to get his instructions, but what he was greeted with was Zheng Yi's cold gaze without a trace of emotion.

He was completely different from the Zheng Yi he usually saw.

The moment he met Zheng Yi's gaze, Zhou Kunshan seemed to be struck by lightning, and he suddenly understood what Zheng Yi meant.

Over the past few days, Zheng Yi has prepared everything for them.

There is always enough meat to eat every day, and it’s no longer like before when I opened my eyes and worked hard to mine, with no time to think about anything else.

The cultivation techniques were prepared for everyone. Whenever they had any questions about cultivation, Zheng Yi taught them very carefully.

Was it because Zheng Yi was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see them suffer that he did so many things?

If it were someone else, Zhou Kunshan would believe it, but his lord was definitely not such a pushover.

In the current situation, it is easy to understand why Zheng Yi remained silent.

It all depends on their attitude.

It depends on whether they have the determination to keep what they deserve and whether they have the courage to truly stand against the Zhao family.

If their performance can satisfy Zheng Yi, everything will be fine.

If I can’t…

Zhou Kunshan didn't even have the courage to think about the consequences.

Without Zheng Yi, let alone the revenge that followed from the Zhao family. Even if we take a step back, this Mr. Zhao Mingtang is really a fool who keeps his word... not... a good person.

Can they still live the same life as before?

The thoughts in my mind are turning around a thousand times, but in reality they only last for a moment.

Zhou Kunshan gritted his teeth and quickly made a decision.

"Fellow villagers of Hewan Village, please do not be fooled by this guy's sweet words."

"Even if this guy really doesn't pursue the matter, won't the other members of the Zhao family pursue our guilt?"

"You know better than anyone how the meat we eat and the life we ​​live come from. Do you really think that the Zhao family will allow us to live the same way as before?"

After Zhou Kunshan finished speaking, the people of Hewan Village fell silent.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingtang didn't care about anything else and hurriedly comforted them: "Don't worry, even if I leave, you can maintain the status quo..." (End of this chapter)
