"Dad, if this continues, Zhang Liang will be ruined!"
"······"
Bai Huo looked at Lingling seriously, a bead of sweat running down his cheek.
## Chapter 2: Slave Goddess (1?)
"······"
Facing the situation in front of him, Bai Huo frowned, touched his non-existent white beard, and said sternly: "Don't panic, it's not over yet."
in fact.
Bai Huo couldn't understand the situation at all. Even though he told Bai Qiyuan not to panic, he himself was still worried.
No matter how you say it.
Zhang Liang is now a member of the Bai family, and everything he does will affect the Bai family. Of course, if something really goes wrong, the Bai family will not sit idly by.
It's just very tricky.
but···
Bai Huo knew Zhang Liang's character well, and he knew how talented he was. As the patriarch of the Bai family, even though he was under tremendous pressure, he still chose to believe in Zhang Liang.
Believe in the man you recognize.
Facing Lingling’s speech.
Among tens of thousands of people, some thought it was a misunderstanding, some thought there was something else going on, and some thought it was a lie.
but···
Even though many people are unwilling to believe that this is true, the facts are before our eyes and there is no doubt about it.
Just as Hai Bo and others predicted, Zhang Liang's image in the hearts of the people is rapidly collapsing.
When Lingling saw the situation, she did not panic. She slowly raised her hand as if everything was within her expectations.
Seeing what Lingling in the carriage was about to say, the noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen to Lingling's speech.
"Everyone."
Lingling glanced at everyone.
He slowly said, "I have a question for everyone. Please raise your hands if you have ever been a slave."
"!!!"
Hearing Lingling's question, the three people from the Bai family, the three people from Haibo, and the three people from Cai Tian all widened their eyes in shock, and even the people present showed surprised expressions.
What a thoughtless statement.
Haibo and the other two reacted and were almost going crazy with joy at Lingling's behavior.
Everyone knows that people who have been slaves will never admit in public that they are slaves. Even if there are some, they are very rare.
Just as everyone expected.
The scene fell into dead silence. It was obvious that many of the people present had been slaves, but even when faced with the goddess's questions, they did not dare to respond.
They suffer from low self-esteem, helplessness, anxiety, depression and lack of security.
It is obvious that as long as Lingling gives the order, they will take up arms for Lingling. Even if they lose their lives, they feel it is worth it and that their lives have been valuable.
But... faced with this problem, they are unable to stand up.
This is the pain hidden in their hearts that will never go away, and the memory they want to forget in their lifetime.
That is a demonic obstacle that is more difficult to face than death.
They all know.
If others knew that I was once a slave, they would definitely look down on me and I might even be bullied again.
Faded memories will come flooding back.
at last···
The wound that finally healed...bleeds profusely again...
Seeing that no one responded to her, Lingling was not surprised. As expected, she once again scanned the people in the audience with her cherry eyes.
After pacing back and forth, Lingling continued:
"In our Trinidi Empire, slavery has long ceased to exist. Even so, have slaves really disappeared?"
After hearing Lingling's words, the people present instantly showed puzzled expressions, not quite understanding what she meant.
Seeing that Lingling wanted to say something else, they didn't ask any questions, but continued to listen.
"After decades of development, slaves have completely disappeared from society, and the new generation has forgotten that period of history. But... have those freed slaves really been saved?"
After hearing this, countless people still could not understand Lingling's words, but the former slaves could understand what Lingling was saying and their eyes widened in surprise.
(Could it be...she...)
The former slaves were thinking of something and all stared at Lingling with their eyes wide open, their hearts beating wildly.
"Society accepted slaves, and the new generation forgot about them, but... they themselves could not get over the memories. The unbearable memories tortured them all the time and made them unable to let go."
"The broken hearts cannot withstand the stimulation of the outside world, cannot let them embrace the beautiful world, and cannot feel the warmth of others. They are afraid to communicate with others, afraid of being hurt again, they dare not hold their heads high, dare not fight for the rewards they deserve, dare not put forward their own ideas, and dare not welcome a new future. Even after decades, they still cannot face the world bravely."
Just as Lingling said, the people who were once slaves still cannot let it go even after decades.
They always feel that they are inferior to others, that they have no future, and that they are worthless.
I might even think...
It's better to just die...
Thinking of this, they lowered their heads silently, their clenched fists trembling.
"Zhang Liang often said, 'A kind man is often bullied, and a kind horse is often ridden.' Slaves who were used to unfair treatment could not muster the courage to resist and dared not use legal means to protect their rights."
"They often think... no one will help them, no one will care about them, no one needs them, they lack a sense of security and have never experienced the feeling of being protected."
"Although the collars around their necks have long been removed, the collars around their minds still imprison them and limit their future."
Lingling's words touched the hearts of the former slaves. Even after decades, they still could not get out of the shadow of that time.
Thinking of the past, they couldn't help but feel cold all over and their faces turned pale.
Well known.
Before the emancipation of slaves.
Once you become a slave, it means that you are no longer a human being and will lose all your human rights.
Even if a pet is tortured to death by its owner, the abuser does not need to bear any responsibility.
Once they accept the reality that they are slaves, they will give up resistance, accept their fate, accept all injustices, and fall into eternal hell.
Hearing Lingling's speech, the former slave's eyes became red.
perhaps···
In the eyes of others, Lingling was exposing people's scars, but as slaves, they knew clearly that no one in this world would understand them, would not listen to their demands, and would not be treated in the eye.
but now···
Such a beautiful, kind, and sacred goddess...she truly understands the slaves, comprehends the slaves, and cares about the slaves.
She is so noble and sacred...
The former slaves, who had never been cared for so much, were instantly touched by Lingling's words and their eyes became red.
In the sunshine, her holy long hair sparkled brightly. Looking through her tearful eyes, Lingling, who was giving a speech, looked so holy and beautiful.
In an instant.
The light of the Holy Spirit shone into their hearts, and they instantly felt the warmth of being cared for.
The warm sunshine and the goddess's gaze were like honey flowing into my heart, warm and sweet.
"Our next stop is the Sorcerer Dynasty. Unlike the Empire, there are still many slaves being persecuted there."
At this point, Cai Tian and the others' hearts skipped a beat, and the former slave's expression became particularly serious.
"We want to save them and lead them out of their misery...but...it's a country with 20 billion people. Even if we want to save them, with our numbers and in an unfamiliar environment, it seems extremely powerless."
"······"
"······"
Everyone knows that the brave team consists of only a few people. It is simply a fantasy to want to implement reforms in a country with a population of 20 billion and completely liberate the slaves.
Whether it was Bai Huo and others, or the common people, even Cai Tian and others who made the request, they all felt deeply desperate about this.
They couldn't help but think that it was an absolutely impossible goal.
However···
Lingling's next words gave hope to the tens of thousands of people present, and their blood boiled instantly.
"We didn't give up in the face of a battle we couldn't win."
Lingling touched her collar and smiled: "We suddenly realized that we still have hundreds of millions of partners!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
After hearing Lingling's words, everyone present instantly realized the identity of this "partner".
That is the slave.
however.
When Lingling said this, Haibo almost laughed at her naive thoughts.
Want slaves to revolt?
That's absolutely impossible!
For the vast majority of slaves, they have become accustomed to the darkness and even began to fear the light.
In their eyes, as long as they behave themselves, they will not be beaten, will not go hungry, and will be able to continue living.
Even though...their treatment is extremely poor.
Haibo was a veteran of three dynasties, so he naturally knew the nature of slaves.
Even if someone wants to save them, they will answer with cloudy eyes:
"What else can I do besides being a slave? I will still starve to death in the end..."
"This is my fate. My life is ruined. There is no hope for it."
"Even if I was saved, it would still matter. Others would still look down on me, I wouldn't be able to find a job, I wouldn't be able to start a family, and I wouldn't be able to pursue happiness."
"Hey... whatever... anything is fine..."
Want to lead slaves who have given up on themselves?
Want them to have a sense of resistance?
Ridiculous!
In such an environment, they have no future!
Mud can never be propped up against a wall!
Even Haibo believed that Sede's method was the only and correct one. If he wanted to save the slaves, he had to forcibly change the country's structure and make them passively accept it.
However···
Just when Haibo was thinking this, Lingling's next words slapped Haibo in the face.
"From now on! I will use my identity as a slave to fire the first shot of resistance! Lead the slaves! Let them see the hope for the future! Let them have a vision for the future! I believe!!! Zhang Liang will also create a soil for them to live happily!"
The high-pitched voice echoed among tens of thousands of people, deeply rooted in their hearts, and tens of thousands of people's hair stood on end when they heard it.
What a grand goal...
Just when the people were shocked, Lingling's next words completely convinced the people, especially the former slaves, who began to become restless.
"I! Xilan! I swear here!"
