"Master Shen has a great figure..."

"This skin color is so beautiful!"

"Why did Lord Shen take off his clothes and carry a cane to the county government office?"

"do not know……"

"Have you heard? Lord Shen killed the county magistrate, saying that he was collaborating with the enemy and committing treason."

"I've long felt that there was something wrong with this county magistrate. He was pushing people to death. It's obvious that he was collaborating with the enemy and committing treason."

The county magistrate failed to handle the matter well, which led to public outrage.

He was slaughtered by Shen Lang, and no one spoke up for him.

In this era, the right to speak is still in the hands of scholars.

In order to appear to have done his best, the county magistrate made the scholar move bricks, which was equivalent to offending all the scholars in the city.

The county magistrate felt that they had no backing and could be bullied at will, but now the time for retribution has come.

This is treason, and I'm afraid his whole family will suffer.

The scholars also spread the news widely, and now the people in the city all knew about the county magistrate's misdeeds.

"Wait, why is Lord Shen on the execution ground?"

"Executed in public, what crime did Lord Shen commit?"

"Could it be that Lord Shen's distribution of food to us has angered some lord in the city?"

"During the war, it seems that we were not given so much food..."

"This... Lord Shen is a good official!"

The execution ground is not just a place for beheadings.

Execution in public is a very humiliating thing. Generally, executions are carried out in public at the execution ground only for serious crimes.

This is to warn the world that if they were like him, they would end up like him.

"Shen Lang, the chief official of Kangcheng Prefecture, accidentally killed the county magistrate..."

Soon Shen Lang's charges were read out.

Bang, bang...

One military stick after another hit Shen Lang, and soon his skin began to be torn apart.

Those who executed the monks were also monks, and they were all in the transcendental realm.

This stick...

Shen Lang really didn't feel any pain.

Let me put it this way, the injuries on his body just look scary, but they can't be compared to the injuries he got in the martial arts competition in the palace. They are just superficial injuries.

If the executioner used his true energy to injure the person internally, Shen Lang would not be better off and would probably be beaten half to death.

Everyone passing by slowed down their pace.

Right now they collect grain based on the number of transports, so slowing down the pace means they will make less money.

But they still slowed down.

In the past, when this kind of execution took place, the people would applaud and cheer, as if they were injected with chicken blood.

When they came to Shen Lang, they changed.

As the sticks hit Shen Lang, they all showed a look of pity in their eyes.

When some sticks hit them, they would tremble as if the sticks were hitting them personally.

"Master Shen..."

"Why did you hit Lord Shen..."

"Isn't the one who was accidentally killed a traitor?"

"It seems to be saying that Lord Shen cannot be the one to execute the crime of treason and that someone from above must come down to investigate whether this is true..."

"Could what Lord Shen said be wrong?"

Everyone watching the execution felt that Shen Lang was pitiful.

This was a good official who worked hard for the people, but because he killed a bad official, he was beaten with a stick in public. His skin was torn and it was scary to see.

Fortunately, fifty military sticks are not a lot.

After being beaten with a stick, Shen Lang walked towards his residence with his upper body naked.

People passing by greeted Shen Lang one after another.

"Master Shen, are you okay?"

"Master Shen, I have some medicine for injuries..."

"Lord Shen..." A commoner was carrying things and wanted to bow.

"Hurry up, I'm fine." Shen Lang hurried over to support him: "Everyone work hard and earn more food."

"Thank you, Lord Shen, thank you, Lord Shen..."

"Master Shen..."

A woman rushed out of the house and handed Shen Lang two eggs: "Freshly boiled."

"Thank you." Shen Lang looked at her sincere expression, accepted the two eggs, flicked his fingers, and secretly put a piece of silver into her waist.

"Everyone, I'm fine. I still have work to do for everyone, so I won't greet you one by one." Shen Lang looked at the people who were working: "Let's work together to defend our Cannes!"

"it is good!"

"Master Shen, don't tire yourself out."

"Master Shen, let's do something else..."

Shen Lang took in the expressions and actions of the people.

He suddenly felt that he had not worked in vain because he had killed the county magistrate and distributed a lot of food to the people.

Although he had been cheated by those villagers before, Shen Lang did not define everyone as bad people, nor did he kill them all with one blow.

After doing something good, my body aches but my heart feels comfortable.

Mo Yi had asked Shen Lang before, what if he found out that the ruler was not good enough?

Shen Lang had no answer in his mind at that time.

Now, he seemed to have the answer in his heart.

Do things with a clear conscience.

He also began to understand why Zhao Huaibei felt sorry for those people, and why he turned around and charged forward without hesitation even though he knew he was going to die.

…………

After Shen Lang arrived at the room and was about to wash himself and apply some medicine, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Lang opened the door and saw Wei Qianluo standing at the door.

Wei Qianluo had been outside before, and after entering the city he had to go through screening and report his mission.

Shen Lang was also busy at that time and had no time to help Wei Qianluo, so she had to do all this by herself.

Fortunately, Erniu is an old scout and captain, and he knows how to deal with it. With him around, Wei Qianluo's situation is much easier.

As for Lu Fengxian, Shen Lang saw that he had suffered a lot of injuries, so he asked him to go for treatment first.

Mo Yi? She and the soldiers chased out of the city and were counting the number of enemies killed, exchanging them for money...

"Qianluo, your eyes..."

Shen Lang looked Wei Qianluo up and down.

When Wei Qianluo first came out, he was quite glamorous.

After several days of exposure to the wind and sand, I didn't even take a bath and became a little country girl.

Now Wei Qianluo's eyes are red and her body is shaking, as if she had just cried.

"Is it too hard for you to live outside?" Shen Lang said softly: "Be good, take a good bath and eat something. I also know that you have suffered a lot these two days..."

"Master..."

pat!

Wei Qianluo hugged Shen Lang tightly.

She hugged him very tightly. Shen Lang's wound was not that painful to begin with, but she almost made Shen Lang suffocate when she hugged him like that!

"Qianluo..." Shen Lang's face turned red.

Although Wei Qianluo had a huge buffer zone on her body and it was very comfortable to be held by her, her strength was a little too great!

This feeling is complete pain and happiness.

"Master...you gave me fifty people, and I couldn't bring them all back..." Even though Wei Qianluo hugged Shen Lang, her heart was not at peace.

"They, they lost sixteen, only thirty-four are left..."

"I heard from them that if you go missing in this kind of weather, you'll never come back, you'll never come back..."

"Woooooooo..."

The more Wei Qianluo spoke, the tighter he hugged her.

She seemed to want to vent all her strength on Shen Lang.

Wei Qianluo tried hard to suppress his emotions on the way here.

Even if she shed tears, she didn't cry in front of those soldiers.

When she reached Shen Lang, she finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"I shouldn't have acted on my own. I shouldn't have asked everyone to disperse. They, they were blown away by the wind and sand..."

"They didn't kill the enemy, they didn't go to the battlefield, they died because of me..."

Listening to Wei Qianluo's words, Shen Lang understood what had happened, and his heart couldn't help but feel heavy.

In such extreme weather conditions, the chances of survival are greater if we gather together.

If you are not careful and get separated from the main group, you will never be able to find it again.

The wind direction is rotating. Even a cultivator like Shen Lang has to keep paying attention to it in order to avoid getting lost, let alone ordinary people?

The city walls are very high and the city is very large, but on a windy and sandy day like this, visibility is too low. Unless the city is as tall as the skyscrapers of later generations, there is a chance of not getting lost.

"You're right..." Shen Lang hugged Wei Qianluo back and patted her head gently, not minding that she was a little dirty at the moment: "You know what? If you hadn't appeared outside the city waving flags, the enemy's morale wouldn't have collapsed so quickly!"

"The city wall at that time was like a meat grinder. Many people died on the spot within a few breaths."

"Because of you, many people were saved from death."

"If you weren't here, and they broke into the city, perhaps the entire city of Cannes would be devastated!"

"Their sixteen lives were exchanged for the lives of more than 100,000 people."

"I think they will rest in peace in the afterlife."

"They can proudly tell their comrades how many people they have saved."

"They are soldiers. Defending the country is their mission. Their death is a sacrifice for the country."

"If you are too cautious and do nothing, others will die, and among them may be the people they have protected with their lives."

"As a general, as long as your decision is correct and you have a clear conscience, that's all that matters."

“But, but, I feel guilty…” Wei Qianluo raised her head, tears leaving two clear traces on her face: “I, I could have done better… They shouldn’t have died…”
