At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 218 Fifteen Blood Clothes, Award Ceremony
Afterwards, fifteen solemnly dressed soldiers, each holding a piece of clothing in their hands, walked up to the high platform with heavy steps and solemn expressions.

Xu Mu took a deep breath, stepped forward, stood in front of 15 people, looked at the people below, and said in a deep voice, "During the 14th year of Daye, Wanmin City suffered several catastrophes. The torrential rain that lasted half a month in the early spring , the plague a few months ago, plus the drought and locust plague this time..."

Xu Mu's words slowly spread under the amplification effect of the large wooden microphone, so that everyone in front of the monument could hear his voice.

They couldn't help but follow Xu Mu's narration and returned to those disasters.

The common people who had personally experienced these disasters couldn't help shivering.

If it is placed outside the mountain, it is unknown how many people will die in each of these disasters.

But in Manmin City...

Xu Mu continued to shout in a calm voice: "However, since the 14th year of Daye, there have been several catastrophes, and none of the people in Wanmin City has died!"

"The mountains and rivers are safe, and the people are safe. What do you think protects us from being able to evacuate in time when the flood hits? Let us be calm before the epidemic? Let us face the drought and locust disasters, and the mountains and rivers are safe?"

As Xu Mu talked, one name after another emerged in the hearts of all the people.

Yang Gong during the rainstorm, Liang Ziqiu during the epidemic, and this time...Kong Xingyue.

It is they who went forward and fought hard at the forefront of every disaster to create such miracles.

As the lord said, the changes of the sky are not to be feared, but man can overcome the sky!

"That's right! Before there was Duke Yang, then there was Liang Ziqiu, and then there was Kong Xingyue! It was their sacrifice of life that made the mountains and rivers safe and the people safe! Now the mountains and rivers are in turmoil, rebellions are everywhere, the world needs heroes, and the city of Wanmin needs heroes." hero!"

"This time, it is the hero awarding ceremony! I, Wanmin City, will never disappoint heroes. Heroes can bleed, but they must not shed tears!"

Xu Mu's words stirred up the atmosphere of the people.

After experiencing all kinds of disasters, these people couldn't help waving their hands when they heard the words, and shouted after Xu Mu's words: "Heroes!"

"hero!"

"hero!!"

Everyone's emotions were mobilized, including the row behind Xu Mu... the various directors of the Lord's Mansion.

At his request, everyone, including Lao Yang, must participate!
Hundreds of thousands of people shouted in unison, such a spectacular scene made the mountain city shake, and all the directors...

Er Pei showed a look of surprise, especially Pei Ju, this was the first time he saw the people's hearts when hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Wanmin City.

That's right, it's the hearts of the people.

At this moment, he was extremely sure that even though all kinds of things had happened before, the hearts of the people in Wanmin City... were rare!
Has been vaguely condensed into a rope.

After experiencing several disasters and being safe and sound, the people have already unconditionally trusted Xu Mu and the Lord's Mansion.

Since ancient times, no ruler has protected the people so much!
Qin and Han could not, and neither could Wei and Jin!

Even Yang Guang couldn't help muttering: "My lord once said that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. The hearts of the people are good."

After all, he is the former emperor and knows the hearts of the people, but that is something he has never paid attention to.

Arriving at Wanmin City, after seeing Xu Mu's various measures to win over and guide people's hearts...

He really paid attention to the hearts of the people.

In the future, even if the outside world is defeated in a war and the heroes besiege Wanmin City, with [-] people here, Wanmin City... will be a heavenly city!
No one can capture it!

After a long time, the shouts of the people subsided.

Xu Mu then took a step forward, pointed at the fifteen blood-stained garments, and said in a deep voice: "This time, 15 members of the military engineering team were trapped underground for five days and five nights. Before they were discovered, they wrote fifteen blood-stained books to leave to their families."

When the people heard the words, their expressions suddenly became sad.

five days and five nights...

Still submerged in water.

In the silence, Xu Mu began to read everyone's suicide note.

Some wrote to their parents: "I'm sorry for you... Letting your old white-haired person give away a black-haired person... You can't be filial to your knees... You can only be a cow and a horse in the next life..."

There are also those who are alone and unattached: "I... I... I really want to live now... I really want to get out of the ground... to lie under the sun... under the old locust tree outside Wanmin City ...Blow the air..."

There is also a scholar who wrote to his wife: "When I wrote this book, I was still alone in the world... When you read this book, I have already become a ghost in the underworld... I wrote this book, tears and pen and ink were exhausted, I wish I could stop writing... ...I have been away from home for more than three months...my son must be able to utter his teeth...I wish I could go to hell alone without seeing him..."

In the end, what Xu Mu recited was that Kong Xingyue copied his poems from later generations...

"Let's go to Quantai to summon the old department, and kill Yama with a hundred thousand banners!"

Xu Mu shouted loudly, and an indescribably tragic atmosphere spread in the air.

One hundred thousand...

Doesn't it reflect the [-] people in Wanmin City?
Xu Mu's eyes were piercing, he scanned the [-] people below, and then asked: "Is there anyone who is willing to go to what I'm pointing at with my whip?"

These common people were all trembling, and then bowed to the ground in a dark mass. Facing the bloody clothes and Xu Mu together, 10 people said in unison: "Even if it is the underworld, I am willing to go!"

"Dig that Huangquan, behead that Yama!"

The common people were very excited, and 10 people drank together, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

Seeing this, Xu Mu raised the corners of his mouth.

Fortunately, he was afraid of being left alone, so he added hundreds of trusts to the 10 people...

This is what makes it so effective.

Sometimes, when the hearts of the people are not in harmony, similar conferences need to be held frequently to guide them with honor and faith.

The so-called swearing-in in ancient times is to gather the hearts of the soldiers.

And 10 people bowed down together and said the same word. Such a shocking scene once again shocked the directors of the Lord's Mansion.

Fortunately, Yang Guang, he came earlier, and he has seen many scenes like this.

But Cui Ji and He Chou are different.

They were excited by the scene in front of their blood.

A 70-year-old man who is almost unable to hold his crutches.

Vaguely, they discovered that they seemed to have joined an... incredible rebel organization?

Seems to be promising?

Afterwards, after the fanatical commoners calmed down, Xu Mu began to award honors.

This time...

Then it was the turn of the thousands of troops stationed in Wanmin City to be jealous.

This kind of honor...is not common!

Especially when the lord personally awarded it!
Even Wang Zhao and other Tiefutu's personal guards showed a look of envy.

But without any envy.

They know that these are what Kong Xingyue and others deserve!

Without them, Wanmin City would not even be able to drink water now!

"Kong Xingyue and other 15 people took the lead and led the crowd to dig out the water source, which made the dry well spring up and the old tree sprout new shoots. They are specially awarded first-class merit!"

Xu Mu looked solemn, but in the audience, the family members of these 15 people...

Then came to power one after another.

The 15 members of the military engineering team are all in training and are not suitable for receiving medals.

So Xu Mu specially asked people to call their family members here instead of awarding honors!
There are seven or eighty-year-old old women, and there is also a wife holding a child...

Each of them held their heads high, received the medal, and gave a deep military salute to Xu Mu.

This is what Wang Zhao told them in advance.

Tell them not to kneel down.

The eyes of one hundred thousand people are all looking at the award of honor.

"Next, the medical bureau and others, Chao Yuanfang and Sun Simiao, have developed pesticides, restrained locusts, preserved crops, and are specially awarded second-class merit!" After sending out, Xu Mu looked at Chao Yuanfang and Sun Simiao in the background. .

The two were slightly taken aback.

In this link, the lord doesn't seem to have told them?

Passively, they stepped forward slowly, being watched by hundreds of thousands of people.

Even Chao Yuanfang, who had seen many big scenes, couldn't help getting excited.

Standing tremblingly in front of Xu Mu, he let Xu Mu wear the medal on him.

All of a sudden, his breathing became short of breath.

The same is true for Sun Simiao.

"Hero! Hero!"

"Heroes of all peoples!"

"Heroes of all peoples!"

After everyone received the award, hundreds of thousands of people cheered and cheered, which touched Chao Yuanfang and Sun Simiao's hearts.

With their old faces flushed, they bowed deeply to Xu Mu, and then bowed deeply to the [-] people.

After stepping down from the stage, Chao Yuanfang stared at Xu Mu who was still standing in front of the stage with his old eyes, full of emotion: "I didn't understand it before, but now I finally understand why the lord can make people die for it!"

Sun Simiao nodded, stroking his gray beard: "I have lived for 80 years, to meet such a lord, even if the rest of my life is handed over to Wanmin City, what's the problem?"

Then, he raised his eyebrows and asked back, "Could it be that Yuan Fang is unwilling?"

Chao Yuanfang rolled his eyes at him, and snorted coldly: "From the moment I saw the microscope, I have no intention of leaving Wanmin City alive!"

……

After the awarding ceremony, Xu Mu explained a few words to Fang Xuanling, and then walked towards the medical office together with Chao Yuanfang and Sun Simiao.

Over the past few days, Kong Xingyue has recovered very well.

It also survived the drought.

Xu Mu intends to help him realize his wish...to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

Just came to the medical department, he found...

Something is not right.

Looking at the long queue in front of him, Xu Mu twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at Chao Yuanfang: "Is the medical department so lively before?"

The entire medical office has long queues from all the way, and they all line up on the street.

The old man Chao Yuanfang blushed, and only found out the situation after asking quickly, and said with a wry smile: "These are the people who have finished the award ceremony, they... want to visit Kong Xingyue and others."

In the hands of every commoner, there are bamboo baskets.

There are various snacks and gifts made by them.

All to thank Kong Xingyue.

Seeing this, Xu Mu couldn't help but nodded.

Then...by using their privileges, Wang Zhao and others cleared the way, and he and Chao Yuanfang Sun Simiao walked into the medical office.

In the inpatient building, I met Kong Xingyue.

At this time, Kong Xingyue had already woken up, but his physical condition was relatively weak, and he was still lying in bed to recuperate.

"Now that the drought in Wanmin City has been resolved, you can say your wish."

Xu Mu looked at him and motioned him to lie on the bed and answer.
