I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

The city of Yongzhou is once again in turmoil.

The assassination of Duke Dengguo not only caused a stir, but also threw the well-trained soldiers and generals cultivated by the Tuoba family into chaos, unsure of what to do next.

In addition, the surrounding auxiliary forces have poor quality and discipline, with many taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble, forcibly seizing wealth and committing crimes.

Unfortunately, the officials in charge of Yongzhou City are so frightened by Duke Dengguo's death within their jurisdiction that they are only focused on hunting down the killer, with no energy left to control these unruly soldiers.

For a while, the people of Yongzhou City are living in fear, and the streets are in chaos. Many families are fleeing the city with their belongings amidst cries and screams, making it even more difficult to capture the assassins.

If one didn't know any better, they would think that the officials in charge of Yongzhou City were cooperating with the assassins!

Chu Shen had long anticipated such chaos. The decadence of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty has led to a significant decline in the central government's authority over local areas. Everyone is used to acting on their own, so when faced with a major upheaval, they will definitely try to take advantage of the situation.

This is also one of the important reasons why he advised the Juanniang family to leave early instead of waiting at the Ping'an Inn for the government to come and investigate.

As for the people affected by the turmoil in Yongzhou City, he is powerless to help them.

In this chaos, he and the assassins are considered instigators, but they each have their own positions. Duke Dengguo and his ilk certainly do not stand on the side of these common people, and the contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable.

Throughout it all, these seemingly harmless common people have never had the power to choose.

This is a chaotic era, where only the dead have the privilege of enjoying a peaceful time. As long as one is still alive, there will always be unexpected events.

The saying goes, "It is better to be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person." This is the reason for it.

BEE.....

Chu Shen shook his head. At least in the current Dong Xuan Tian, he did not possess such conditions.

Without thinking further, he had already left the Ping An Inn. Taking advantage of the chaos in Yongzhou, he blended into the crowd, preparing to leave the city. No matter how chaotic the situation here became, it had nothing to do with him.

However, the development of the situation always surprises people.

The army brought by Duke Deng entered the city through the west gate, and the chaos was concentrated in the western district. The refugees should have had time to escape through the opposite east gate.

However, the army brought by Duke Deng was not all direct forces. Apart from three to five thousand elite soldiers trained by the Tuoba family, the rest were a mix of local forces from the Great Tang Xian Dynasty. A few hundred soldiers from this city, a couple of kings from that city.

As a result, when Duke Deng died, there was temporarily no one capable of commanding the various armies, which led to the lack of control over these local forces. They were the main cause of this chaos.

In addition to looting, these local forces also engaged in conflicts. Some were marginalized and gained no benefits, so naturally, they turned their attention to the east side of the city.

Unfortunately, although there were many civilians, they were not organized. When they left the city, the procession was chaotic and slow. As a result, when the city gates were blocked, some refugees discovered that the fierce official army had actually bypassed and was preparing to rush over to block the gates.

This made the situation even more chaotic, and even a stampede occurred. Many civilians, like headless flies, panicked and squeezed, only wanting to stay away from the official army that came to plunder.

The rushing official army did not know which city they were from. Their armor was crooked, and their formation was loose. Seeing the panic of the crowd, they laughed heartily without any military demeanor, just like hooligans watching a spectacle. Under the command of their officer, they started looting the wealth of the people.

This is still acceptable, but what is even more infuriating is that they have also snatched away some girls who are not too ugly from their parents. If the parents try to stop them, these people would cruelly raise their knives and guns, directly killing the elderly and taking the girls by force. After some perverted men snatch the girls, they would immediately start touching them everywhere, while their companions laugh and join in the molestation, ignoring the girls' cries.

The reaction of the people is also disappointing. Seeing such an infuriating scene, there are only a few people with the courage to intervene. They all crowd together like beaten dogs, as if pushing their companions out to bear the brunt, just hoping that the soldiers would not turn their knives on themselves.

Only Chu Shen's eyes were filled with bloodlust.

He knew that the military in the era of the dynasty could not rely on discipline. Even in the history of the Dragon Kingdom on Blue Star, there were countless cruel and shameless acts committed by the military against their own people during times of chaos, especially in the late Ming Dynasty. Those traitorous armies that defected to the enemy and acted as pseudo-armies, burning, killing, and looting, were no less merciful than the foreigners. They were all killable scum.

However, those were all history, and what was happening before his eyes was happening now. Even though he had hidden in the cabin of the Lanfeng ship in Luo Zhou City before, turning a blind eye to the cruel scenes as much as possible, how could he bear it now?

A person, anyone with a little bit of kindness, would find it difficult to contain their anger when they see such despicable acts happening right in front of them.

Not to mention that Duke Deng has already died. Even if Chu Shen were to show himself, how could those private soldiers of the Tuoba family, who had lost their command, be as formidable as they were when they ambushed the Langhuan Angel Corps?

... Seeking flowers...

Thinking of this, he finally chose to take action.

Just as he was about to take the lives of those who had already defiled innocent families, someone in the crowd roared in anger and made a move before him.

Huh? It's someone familiar!

Chu Shen saw A Zao, A Song, and others rushing towards the official army under Luo Dang's command, and he was momentarily stunned.

Hey, I didn't expect these kids to be quite clever. Instead of directly fleeing the city, they mixed in with the crowd of commoners and ran slowly.

He noticed that Duke Deng's fleet of flying boats had already dispatched most of the smaller ships to chase after the assassins who fled directly from the city. Although they might not be able to catch them all, those who fled directly faced much greater danger than Luo Dang and his group.

However, since they were present, it was not surprising that they were willing to lend a hand.

Back at the Ping'an Inn, after killing those government officials, he learned about the many sad stories of these people. Besides poverty, hunger, and disease, their memories were filled with oppression and plunder.

Among them, many had experienced having their mothers and sisters forcibly taken away by landlords and officials, some were used as collateral for debts, some were taken away to be played with because of their beauty, and some were colluded with by brothels to replenish their supply.

In a world where people eat people, there is no romantic story of a wealthy family falling in love with Cinderella. The truth is, people are devoured until there is nothing left of their bones.

Because these experiences were so real, when these people gained power, they couldn't tolerate similar scenes unfolding before their eyes.

Oh, by the way, this seems to be related to certain beliefs they adhere to.

Chu Shen recalled the memories of the days he spent with Luo Dang and the others, and he vaguely felt a familiar feeling about their belief in "Yellow Heaven" and certain doctrines. It seemed like he had encountered something similar before!

While he was pondering, Luo Dang and the others had already defeated the group of soldiers.

It's not difficult to understand. After all, they are cultivators with powerful abilities. They were able to assassinate Duke Deng, while these soldiers were just local riffraff, with none of them reaching the third level of Qi Refining. They couldn't compare to the elites under Duke Deng's command.

But in the eyes of the suffering people, these people were like immortal beings who came to rescue them!
