The people of the Protectorate did not have a good life in Shangjing.
Everyone knows that the people of the Protector are very loyal. The emperor executed their master. If these people are not dealt with well, it will be a big trouble.
But the emperor, who cherished his reputation very much, could not execute them all.
In the end, they could only be scattered and stuffed into various ministries, and it was specifically stated that these people could not be reused, so it was very difficult for them to survive in the current army.
Doing the most despicable things with the least amount of military pay.
When Song Chen saw them, they were on the poorest street in Shangjing City. In today's terms, this was a slum.
The living environment is extremely harsh.
Song Chen couldn't help but feel a little sad. Men who were originally fighting on the battlefield to protect their families and countries have become like this because of some conspiracy.
This was not something they needed to experience, but it happened to them again.
What Song Chen saw was a person who was originally a deputy general on the side of the Protector. But after seeing the person, Song Chen's feeling became even worse.
The man in front of him simply didn't have the high-spirited look that a soldier should have. The full beard made it almost impossible to see his face clearly.
His eyes were even more distracted, as if they were about to lose focus.
When Song Chen saw him in such a state, his heart tightened.
"Do you know that Lord Protector has descendants?" Song Chen did not say any pleasantries and went directly to the topic.
The man glanced at Song Chen impatiently, "I know what your plan is, but I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Anyway, my life should have followed the master long ago."
Song Chen understood that this was threatening her.
However, she has never been a person who is afraid of being threatened. "My purpose has been made clear before. I need a group of people to help me. I am not hiding it."
"You yourself know what your situation is now. Do you want a life like this? Just imagine how high-spirited you were on the battlefield back then, what about now? Don't you want to know why your master suffered such a disaster?
"
For loyal people, the only thing that can stimulate them is the person they are loyal to.
Sure enough, as soon as Song Chen finished speaking, the man's eyes changed. They were no longer as divergent as before, but filled with hatred.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you mention my master!"
After saying this, the man stepped forward and prepared to take action. Song Chen calmly hid aside, "You move slowly, the impact is not enough, and your observation skills are not enough. You look like a twilight old man now."
Not only was Song Chen not intimidated by his posture, but he made some considerable comments about him.
Originally, her calmness made people angry, but the key is that she can still criticize others like this. Even if she criticizes others, what she says is still to the point.
This was depressing. As soon as Song Chen finished speaking these words, the man slumped down on the ground and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"We are all useless people. The master has suffered such a huge injustice. We can't do anything. Now we are still embarrassing the master!"
This is the mentality of all the old members of the current Protectorate. They are so decadent that they all feel that they are useless.
This is also a point that Song Chen can take advantage of.
"I said before, you don't need to serve me for the rest of your life. You only need to serve me for five years. In these five years, I will cure your little master, but you must ensure that all actions in these five years are under my command.
, now, I will make another promise to you."
Song Chen scanned the people around her, and she knew that these were all.
When she finished speaking, everyone held their breath and looked at her.
Obviously he wanted to know what more promises she would make.
Song Chen didn't appeal too much to everyone.
Word by word, "In these five years, I will also help you find the person who framed the Protector!"
In fact, she already knows this person, but she can't tell them this right now. Five years is enough time for them to return to their previous state and become more victorious. She hopes that they will eventually become the most powerful force.
!
As soon as these words came out, everyone became energetic.
"You mean what you say!"
"I, Song Chen, keep my word!"
Some people believe it, some people don't.
But now, although they are all assigned to various places, they always have leaders. Those people thought that the humiliation of these years would completely make them lose their fighting spirit. In fact, those people did not know that they had never given up in their hearts over the years.
belief.
After an unknown amount of time, the man who had attacked Song Chen stood up from the ground and stood in front of Song Chen.
"I'll make this deal with you! But... remember, if you don't fulfill your promise, we will definitely kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Chen kicked him so hard that he fell to the ground.
The man struggled to his feet and wanted to fight back, and the others were already ready.
But Song Chen just sneered, "From the time you said we were making a deal, I have been your master for the next five years. I can ignore your threats before, but not now!"
Song Chen's figure looked very petite among this group of people, but at this moment, his childish face showed an intimidating aura, making them feel oppressed.
"I have never seen anyone threatening my master, not even if you are really grudges!"
Everyone immediately relaxed.
The person kicked by Song Chen also reacted, struggled to stand up, walked to Song Chen, and knelt down.
"Master, please atone for your sins. I won't dare to do it next time!"
Song Chen glanced at him lightly and said, "Get up and talk."
"All of you, remember, you only have five years with me, but don't think about spending five years casually. As long as your performance is not good in these five years, I have the right to extend this time.
.”
They had no objection to this.
They are not the kind of people who will definitely do what they promise.
"Master, don't worry!"
Song Chen nodded, took out a small bottle from his body and handed it to the person who was kicked.
The other people immediately panicked when they saw this.
Song Chen knew what they were thinking by looking at their eyes, "Don't worry, it's not poison, it's a tonic."
After speaking, she poured one pill into her hand and said, "This is a ginseng pill. Your body has been very overdrawn in the past few years. You must replenish your body first. Take one pill a day or a bottle."
It should be almost finished.”
As the bottle cap was opened, the strong smell of ginseng and medicinal herbs filled the man's nostrils.
Without saying a word, he took the pills from Song Chen's hand and threw one in his mouth, feeling more convinced of Song Chen in his heart.
But obviously this isn't over yet.
"How many reliable people have you contacted now?" Song Chen asked.
The man thought for a while and said, "At that time, most of the old troops were dispersed. Some stayed in Shangjing, others went to other places, and there were also many who guarded the border."
When we talk about guarding the border, everyone feels uncomfortable again.
"Those who guard the border... I'm afraid not many of them will come back. Whenever there is a war, our people are always at the front. However, they don't train much on weekdays, and they don't eat well. Basically, none of them go up there.
Come down here."
This is actually the daily life of the current group of people. Perhaps those who stayed in Shangjing are slightly luckier.
At least they can still save their lives even though they usually empty buckets and serve as cooks.
"Currently, there are about 2,000 people who can be contacted and confirmed not to have rebelled."
Two thousand people!
It feels embarrassing to say it.
I thought there were tens of thousands of them back then, and they were the most elite troops in Dayong, but now they only have 2,000!
This familiarity somewhat surprised Song Chen.
However, she is relatively satisfied. According to her current conditions, two thousand people can be received together, and they can fully support them.
She believes that as long as these two thousand people are well trained, they can definitely become a sharp sword!
"Two thousand people are enough." Song Chen was very confident, "Instead of finding those disloyal people, it is better not to look at the number of people."
"In two days I will deliver all these two thousand ginseng pills. Then you will be responsible for distributing them, one to each person."
This is her first step in transforming them.
She doesn't even seem to need more manpower.
"You guys find a way to break away from your current troops, then go to Chongyun Town, Baofeng County, and wait for me there."
Since you want to train well, you must change your place.
"Remember, you can't leave any clues or expose your whereabouts. There is a Jiuling Mountain in Chongyun Town. After you arrive, go up the mountain secretly and set up camp there. I will make other arrangements when I get back."
"Master, that Jiuling Mountain..."
Others don't know, but those who have stayed in Chongyun Town for a few years know that Jiuling Mountain is unsettled.
Just before they came, something happened in Jiuling Mountain.
"Jiuling Mountain is safe!" The beast that hurt people before is now in her dimension, and Dabai doesn't hurt people for no reason.
"Almost all of King Heng's five hundred men were killed on Jiuling Mountain. It was me." In order to dispel their doubts, Song Chen added another sentence.
People present:…
…
…
What kind of girl is she? Can she not be so ruthless in her words and deeds?
She dared to touch even King Heng's people.
"Master, does King Heng's matter have nothing to do with you?" someone asked again.
As for Song Chen, she had never been a person who liked to lie. When they asked her like this, she would naturally tell the truth.
"It doesn't matter if they are related. After all, I am not the one who put King Heng under house arrest."
Everyone understands.
It wasn't her, but she definitely played some role in it.
so far so good.
Everyone comforted themselves silently. Fortunately, they made the right choice, otherwise they would probably be in trouble now.
After calming down for a while, they started making plans.
It is still somewhat difficult to actually implement this matter. If it is not done well, it will be exposed. This can be regarded as the first test given to them by Song Chen. Through this matter, they can test whether they are capable or not.
In other words, is it worth it for her to do this?
She is a very realistic person and is always right.
