Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 186: Humans Are Not Plants

The officials of Lu'an County usually live a life of luxury.

At this moment, facing the vicious bandits, they had no power to resist at all.

Under the siege of the crowd, the officials' voices for mercy gradually became weaker.

Until the end, the only sound in the crowd was the clatter of fists hitting flesh.

As for the previous begging for mercy, it has completely disappeared!

When the bandits saw the blood, their vicious natures were exposed.

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you today!"

"Damn it, if it weren't for you, would I be in this situation today? Even if I die today, I will drag you down with me!"

"You bastards, I'll kill you first, that'll be enough!"

Accompanied by curses, the bandits used all their strength.

Fists as big as sandbags hit the faces of those officials!

to the end.

All the officials, including Guo Baishun, were rendered unrecognizable, and the bandits finally stopped.

Looking around again, fluorescent light flickered in his pupils.

"run!"

In the chaos, I don't know who shouted first, and the next second all the bandits were in chaos and fled in all directions.

I just hope I can break through the encirclement of the people around me, and maybe I can save my life.

It’s a pity that when Song Yuan saw this scene, he found it a little ridiculous.

Even when he was dying, he was still so ignorant of his own life.

Are these guys brainless?

"Don't resist, let them run!"

In order to prevent his men from being injured due to the conflict, Song Yuan simply waved his hand and ordered the people blocking the road to disperse.

Then, Song Yuan turned around and winked at Huo Jianchuan.

It only took a stick of incense for the cavalry to be dispatched!

With the horses chasing them, how could the bandits who had escaped before possibly escape capture?

In the end it took less than half an hour.

The bandits left a trail of corpses on their way out.

No one escaped from the cavalry's pursuit.

In the end, they all died tragically in the wilderness!

"Notify everyone that Lord Guo and his men were robbed and attacked by bandits. I intervened in time and killed the bandits, but unfortunately, I was unable to save Lord Guo and the lives of all the officials in the city!"

Song Yuan spoke slowly, characterizing the whole matter in a cold tone.

After saying this, he waved his hand and prepared the troops to enter the city.

"Sir, if these bodies are left here, it will inevitably cause an epidemic in this hot weather. I think it would be better to burn them directly!"

Huo Jianchuan, who was standing by, was the first to make a suggestion when he saw the corpses strewn all over the ground.

Song Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this, but finally waved his hand.

"Then just burn it as you wish!"

After saying this, Song Yuan jumped directly into the carriage. Although Song Yuan's performance this time was much stronger than before, facing the corpses all over the ground, his heartbeat was still much faster than usual.

Now Song Yuan slowly closed his eyes, and felt as if bloody shadows appeared in front of him.

The bloody scene now lingered in his mind, and no matter how Song Yuan tried to adjust his mood, he could not forget it.

As a top student at the military academy, Song Yuan had solid theoretical knowledge, but just like those new recruits, he had never seen blood on the battlefield.

Now, Song Yuan personally determined the life and death of 1,500 people with a wave of his hand.

Such power inevitably made him feel a little confused.

After a long silence, he finally let out a sigh.

"I just hope that this kind of killing won't make me lose my true nature!"

After saying this, Song Yuan leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

Before I could rest for long, Situ Jing's voice suddenly came to my ears: "Are you okay? Are you scared when you got into the car?"

Situ Jing originally just wanted to tease, but she didn't nod as directly as Song Yuan.

“A little bit indeed!”

Seeing Song Yuan's response, Situ Jing couldn't help but widen her eyes: "This answer is not like your style. I thought you would be stubborn!"

"What's there to be so stubborn about?" Song Yuan shrugged, looking as if it was a matter of course.

"Any normal person would be scared if they saw this kind of scene for the first time, right?"

After hearing this, Situ Jing was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

"Hearing your answer, I feel relieved. To be honest, when you said you were afraid, I felt relieved. If you really weren't afraid, I'd probably be worried now!"

"What's the reason for this?" Hearing this, Song Yuan felt a little curious and immediately asked.

Situ Jing explained with some seriousness.

"We are not plants or trees, so how can we be heartless? You have been hiding everything from me, hiding your little thoughts deep in your heart. I almost can't tell what kind of person you are!"

"If you remain indifferent when you see that man's head falling off today, it only proves that you are a cold-blooded animal. I even doubt whether you are a human being..."

In the face of death, awe is instinctive.

Fear is natural and should be faced.

In Situ Jing's impression, Song Yuan had lived in the deep palace for a long time. A normal person would inevitably have some mental problems if staying in such a confined environment.

If Song Yuan could remain indifferent in the face of death today, Situ Jing would even suspect that this guy was mentally twisted?

"You actually learned to think. I think this is even more rare!" Seeing Situ Jing's serious look, Song Yuan just felt a little funny.

This silly girl finally got it!

It's really rare to be able to say this.

"I knew you were going to spit out ivory from your dog's mouth!" Faced with Song Yuan's ridicule, Situ Jing immediately became angry.

"I came here with good intentions to comfort you, but you ended up saying this. Just wait, next time something happens to you, no one will worry about you!"

"It's nice to be obedient, who wouldn't say that?"

Song Yuan muttered something, then stretched out his hand and was about to hug Situ Jing.

"Come, come, my beloved, let me hug you first!"

"Get out of here!"

Seeing that Song Yuan had lost his composure again in an instant, Situ Jing became furious and glared at Song Yuan fiercely, then lifted the curtain, jumped out of the car and left.

This little bastard will shine brightly if given some sunshine!

From now on, no matter how high or low you are, you can never be nice to him!

……

At sunset.

Song Yuan led thousands of troops and finally entered the county city.

In the previous massacre, all high-ranking officials in the county died tragically.

In the end, the only one left to greet everyone was the chief clerk!

Seeing Song Yuan taking the lead, the chief clerk looked around, clearly looking for the traces of those adults.

Song Yuan noticed this and waved his hand, directly repeating his previous excuse.

"Those elders in the county town have been tragically killed on the spot by bandits they encountered on the road. From today on, you will temporarily take over the position of county governor!"

"I will immediately inform His Majesty and have him send someone to reappoint the county governor. Before that, I'll have to trouble you!"

Facing Song Yuan's solemn gaze, the chief clerk felt a little confused.

What do you mean?

Are all those adults dead?

Should I temporarily take over as the county magistrate?

Is this arrangement appropriate?

"Your Highness, I..." Thinking of the danger involved, the chief clerk immediately opened his mouth to refuse.

It’s a pity that Song Yuan didn’t give him any chance at all.

"You do whatever I say, I'm the boss here!"

"I'm heading to the border tomorrow morning and can't stay here for long. Anyway, from now on, you're the highest-ranking official in all of Lu'an County!"

"The people of the entire county are watching you, try to behave like a decent person!"
