Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

"Don't use this power to kill innocent people."

Bai Huo smiled when he heard this request, thinking that his old friend had not changed at all.

Even though his life is not satisfactory, he still cannot bear to see the suffering in the world.

This was also the original intention of him, despite his fame, to refuse high positions and generous salaries and become an adventurer.

As the saying goes, he will appear wherever the people need him.

In general, this person is not only strong, but also good at formulating strategies. He is not an ordinary strong man.

If he was in the opposing camp, he might pose a threat to Zhang Liang.

Just when Bai Dieshang was about to ask whether it was true or not, Xiaoye stopped Bai Dieshang, put his index finger in front of his mouth, and signaled her not to speak.

Xiaoye did this to observe Ambassador Lu's expression.

After seeing his eyes widen in surprise, Xiaoye snorted coldly and raised the corners of his mouth.

She drew the long sword from her waist, put it to Ambassador Lu's throat and said, "You know how to repay kindness with enmity."

Hearing Xiaoye's words, Ambassador Lu frowned deeply and said nothing.

Suddenly, a murderous aura poured out from Xiaoye's body, covering everyone present.

The villagers and soldiers who were trapped in it suddenly broke out in cold sweats, and Ambassador Lu and others, although a little scared, still responded with a forced smile.

Their expressions further confirmed Xiaoye's guess.

These people have long been prepared to die.

The reason is...

The next second, Xiaoye sheathed the sword, and the murderous aura suddenly disappeared.

When everyone saw this scene, they all showed puzzled expressions and thought, won’t she kill them?

Xiaoye turned to Bai Diechang and said, "Did we seize ten space rings before?"

Bai Dieshang nodded, took off the ring from her belt and gave it to Xiaoye.

Sensing Xiaoye's intention, Ambassador Lu asked in a rare panic: "What are you going to do!?"

Xiaoye gave him an evil smile and opened one of the space rings.

"Hey! Don't move!"

Hearing Ambassador Lu's roar, Xiao Ye poured out the contents without any hesitation.

Dozens of packages fell to the ground with a clang, forming a small hill in front of Ambassador Lu and the villagers.

Xiaoye signaled the soldiers to open the package, and then the items inside stunned the villagers.

"This... this is the dishes and furniture in my house... and the spirit tablet..."

"This is the chair I've used for thirty years! And here are some dried pickles!"

“My daughter-in-law’s portrait... is also here..."

When the villagers saw these familiar things, they felt a surge of joy as if they had recovered what they had lost, and their eyes instantly became wet.

The capacity of the space ring is limited, and these dozens of packages are only enough for one village.

And there are nine space rings.

"Could it be...ours too?"

Seeing the scene before them, the villagers from other villages also became excited and looked at the space ring in Xiaoye's hand with anticipation.

Afterwards, Xiaoye opened the space rings one by one and let the villagers from other villages see the items inside.

"What...what's going on?"

After seeing what was inside, the villagers all showed expressions of surprise and confusion.

Because all their belongings were placed inside.

Seeing this, Ying and others instantly understood what was going on.

Ambassador Lu and others packed up all the villagers' belongings.

These things are worthless to the robbers, but they are like treasures to the villagers.

Just think about it and you will know.

What treasures could these villages have? A mere silver coin was enough for them to show off, but Master Lu and others were able to find dozens of bags in them.

These treasures refer to items that the villagers regard as treasures, priceless treasures.

Among these people, there was one who cried the loudest.

The village chief of Xieyang Village, Lu Xu.

His hands were shaking as he arranged the spirit tablets one by one.

These are their ancestors, as well as his deceased lovers and children, and his own brothers and friends.

Seeing that all these were still there, Lu Xu's emotions broke down and tears streamed down her face.

They were all very confused. Since Ambassador Lu had set fire to his own home, why did he deliberately pack up these things?

At this time, there is still one space ring.

Ambassador Lu stared at Xiaoye fiercely, suppressing his anger and saying, "Enough!"

However, Xiaoye snorted coldly and said, "I won't."

After opening the space ring, the things inside were just as Xiaoye had guessed.

She said nothing and simply poured out the contents.

Inside were enough food for the villagers to survive the winter, new clothes and bedding, daily necessities, and bags of copper coins.

Xiaoye estimated the number of these copper coins and found that they added up to about 20 gold coins.

After seeing these things, the villagers and soldiers were stunned and their brains were completely confused.

At this moment, the chief of Xieyang Village came to Ambassador Lu and others.

"Ambassador! Tell me, what is going on!"

Ambassador Lu clenched his teeth, glanced away, and didn't really want to speak.

Having always lived in a world of intrigue and deception, Ambassador Lu closed his heart. In order to prevent others from thinking that he was easy to bully, he often put on a villainous face.

This story begins when he left Xieyang Village.

That year, a group of merchants came to Xieyang Village.

They said that big cities outside are recruiting workers, the salary is very good, and you can earn 20 gold coins a year!

Ambassador Lu, blinded by money, wants to repay the village chief for saving his life, so he plans to go out to work with the businessman and earn some money.

As it turned out, the merchant's words were false and Ambassador Lu was sold to Yuanyang Fishing Boat.

Ambassador Lu, who realized the situation too late, had nowhere to escape on the sea. He was forced to do the dirtiest and most tiring work and was subjected to the most brutal and cruel beatings.

In this way, he spent ten years living a life worse than death.

This also made him fully understand that this is a world where the strong prey on the weak.

The weak have no choice but to be slaughtered.

There is no value in living.

During this period, he wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the sea more than once, but he was unwilling to die like this as he had not yet repaid the great kindness.

Eventually, this gray industry chain was destroyed by Ouyang Shuo, and all those who had the same experience as Ambassador Lu were rescued.

Ambassador Lu, attracted by Ouyang Shuo's personality, decided to follow Ouyang Shuo to the death and became an adventurer.

The people who were rescued together were also homeless, so they decided to follow Ambassador Lu and were willing to become his younger brothers. Eventually, they became brothers who lived and died together.

Seeing that Ambassador Lu was reluctant to speak, the younger brother who followed him could not help himself.

"Let me tell you!"

Hearing this, Ambassador Lu glared at him fiercely, but the younger brother did not back down.

"The reason why the boss did this is to make the villagers evacuate this place! Run away as far as possible! Even if it costs their lives!"

As long as someone dies, the villagers will definitely fear retaliation and flee.

This is why Ambassador Lu has been provoking the villagers.

Because he didn't have much time left to live, and dying at the hands of the villagers would be a way of repaying the village chief for saving his life.

Then, everyone learned the details from the younger brother.

The Empire and the Duchy are about to go to war, and these villages will be affected.

There are reasons for robbing the villagers of their food, destroying their fields, and injuring some of them, causing them to lose some of their labor force.

They wanted to let the villagers know how terrible the Dukedom was and make them flee the village to avoid the suffering of war.

Hearing this, the deputy captain asked in confusion:

"In that case, can't you just communicate in a nice way?"

"You are too naive." The younger brother snorted and continued, "Will they leave if we communicate with them? Do you think they are willing to leave?"

"..."

It was obvious that the deputy captain deeply understood what I said.

The war is imminent and it could start at any time. The villagers have no time to think about it.

Moreover, the villagers have never experienced any major storms, and they don’t know how treacherous human nature can be, or how outrageously low a person’s bottom line can be.

In order to prevent them from having any luck, forcibly driving them away is the most effective way.

Anyway, once the war breaks out, homes and houses will be destroyed. This is inevitable.

"That money was saved by the eldest brother over the years by living frugally and saving every penny."

At this point, the younger brother's voice became choked with sobs, "In order to let you live in the capital, he even arranged for someone to pick you up there."

Hearing this, the deputy captain was even more confused.

"Why not take him to the Duke's territory? Wouldn't it be more convenient to take care of him there?"

The deputy captain could see that they were caring about the villagers and were not unforgivable criminals.

"Do you think the Dukedom has a chance of winning?"

Hearing this, the deputy captain opened his eyes wide and looked very surprised.

It was obvious that they were fully aware of their situation.

Compared with the combat power of the empire, the combat power of a mere dukedom is not enough for the Ten Heroes to defeat.

The vice-captain asked in surprise:

"Does the Duke intend to start a war even though he knows he has no chance of winning?"

As a result, the answer obtained surprised everyone.

"Even if we lose, we must fight this battle!"

Neither the people nor Ambassador Lu and others want war.

They all knew that once the war broke out, the Duke's side would undoubtedly be defeated.

Despite this, they had to fight this battle and make the emperor pay a price no matter what, so that he would remember that the people would resist!

In order to ensure that their children in the future do not live in dire straits, they must seize this opportunity and fight for their future.

Even if it is just to let the emperor understand that indiscriminate killing cannot deter the people, it can be regarded as sacrificing one's life for the country!

In fact, the upper echelons of the Dukedom were already prepared to surrender.

The emperor would certainly not kill an army of 100,000 in order to win the support of the people. Only those above him and the main members who participated in the war would be killed as a warning to others and their entire clans would be exterminated.

This also includes Ambassador Lu and others.

Of course, they were prepared to die.

After hearing what the younger brother said, both the villagers and soldiers, including Ying and others, felt very complicated.
