Chapter 153
"Everyone present here knows what kind of life the people of Barbarian City are living!"
"Who is the culprit? It's Zhang Tao!"
Chen Xuan's voice was as loud as thunder, and all the criticisms were directed at Zhang Tao.
For a moment, everyone present looked at him.
As a soldier in the barbarian city, how could I not know the living conditions of the people in the barbarian city?
However, for them, they all rely on the government for their livelihood, so it is impossible for them to rebel against the government, right?
Therefore, even if someone doesn't like this, they dare not show it.
Even Commander Ling Mo listens to the prefect. Who among his subordinates dares to act rashly?
But now things are different!
Commander Ling Modu rebelled against the governor, and he also had the military order in his hand.
At times like this, those who know the times are heroes!
"I think what Master Chen said makes sense. Over the years, the people of Barbarian City have been living a worse life. This bastard governor has been squandering the people's wealth and doing all sorts of immoral things!"
Immediately, a captain of a thousand men stood up and said in a loud voice,
"I support the Commander and Master Chen!"
The first person to speak out naturally shook the morale of the army.
Soon, another captain expressed his opinion: "I also support the commander and Master Chen!"
"The dog governor is extremely evil. The three families of Chen, Qin, and Liao have done so many evil things that they deserve to be killed!"
"We swear to follow the Commander and Master Chen until death!"
After the second person spoke, soon the third person, the fourth person, and more and more people spoke.
In the end, all of Ling Mo's men knelt on one knee, covered their chests with their hands, bowed their heads and swore to follow him until death!
"you!"
Zhang Tao's eyes were bloodshot. He had originally wanted to rely on his prestige as a prefect to make these people defect.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan's words, coupled with Ling Mo's military might, made his prestige as a prefect insignificant!
"I'm a prefect appointed by the imperial court, and I'm also the confidant of the King of Zhenxi. How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid of punishment from the imperial court and the King of Zhenxi?!"
Zhang Tao was extremely angry and wanted to use the imperial court and the Prince of Zhenxi as shields.
It must be said that this move of his was very useful. As soon as these words came out, the subordinates who had just expressed their determination to follow him till death, all showed fear and hesitation.
They couldn't help but look up at Ling Mo.
After all, Zhang Tao was a prefect appointed by the imperial court, a seventh-rank official. In fact, his power was greater than many sixth-rank officials. After all, it was a fortress like the border.
Even though he is only a seventh-rank official now, he is very valuable. Once he is transferred to the capital and becomes an official there, he will be a fifth-rank official or even higher!
Moreover, Zhang Tao is still young, only in his early forties. Who knows what position he can reach in the future?
What's more, he has the support of King Zhenxi!
The King of Zhenxi is not like the imperial court in the capital, which is thousands of miles away. He is guarding the border seriously!
Therefore, anyone who wants to touch him must think twice!
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ling Mo felt a little pressure for a moment.
Chen Xuan burst into laughter and sarcastically said, "What a joke! Can you really replace the imperial court? Are you worthy?"
"For this little thing you did, believe it or not, if I report it to the imperial court, you'll lose more than a hundred heads!"
Judging from the quality of life of the people in Barbarian City and the countless refugees, what Zhang Tao did is enough to deserve ten executions!
However, Zhang Tao suddenly sneered, "Mr. Chen, if I dare to do this in Barbarian City, do you think reporting it to the capital will be enough? Have you forgotten who is backing me?"
When the word "backer" was mentioned, Zhang Tao's chest suddenly straightened up and his whole body showed pride.
"Isn't he the King of Zhenxi?"
Chen Xuan smiled indifferently.
His attitude shocked everyone present.
Isn't he just the King of Zhenxi? How could this be said so lightly?
That’s the King of Zhenxi!
The most powerful person in the entire western border area of the Daqian Dynasty!
Not to mention the soldiers around were all shocked, even Ling Mo looked stunned, obviously shocked by Chen Xuan's arrogance.
"How dare you disrespect the King of Zhenxi? This is a capital crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of your clan!"
Zhang Tao immediately seemed to have found a flaw and grinned at Chen Xuan.
It is said that the emperor’s majesty cannot be offended!
Although the Prince of Zhenxi is not the emperor, his power at the border is even greater than that of the imperial court!
As long as he wants, he can obey orders but not announcements!
Anyone who dares to disrespect the King of Zhenxi will be sentenced to death!
"Punish my entire clan?"
Chen Xuan seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. He suddenly looked at Chen Kun and Chen Qing, father and son, and said with a teasing smile:
"Chen Kun, your beloved governor is planning to execute my entire clan. What do you think of this?"
Chen Kun's face suddenly turned green.
Because he is included in the nine clans!
However, at this time he was on the side of the prefect, so it was naturally impossible for him to speak for Chen Xuan.
Besides, Zhang Tao’s so-called killing of nine clans is just a scare tactic. He doesn’t have the ability to do it!
"Humph!"
Chen Kun snorted coldly, turned his head away, and deliberately did not answer Chen Xuan's words.
On the side, Chen Qing also imitated his father's attitude and turned his head to the side. No matter what Chen Xuan said, he pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Seeing these two people being so tactless, Chen Xuan shook his head and sighed, "What a pity! I was thinking that if you two were smarter, I would let you go. After all, you also have the surname Chen, and the blood of the Chen family flows in your bodies."
"It's a pity that you two have to be traitors when there are so many things you can do. If that's the case, then I won't let you stay."
After saying that, a hint of coldness flashed across Chen Xuan's eyes.
Chen Kun's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly asked, "What do you want to do? Don't mess around!"
Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't want to do anything."
Then he turned his head and looked at Xiao Liuzi.
This guy is good at tormenting people.
Xiao Liuzi was eager for Chen Xuan to let him do something, but when he saw Chen Xuan looking at him, he laughed excitedly:
"Master Chen, leave these two bastards to me and don't worry. I promise to make sure they're in good hands!"
Chen Xuan hummed and said, "Just don't kill anyone."
"Don't worry, Master Chen, I have experience in doing this kind of thing!"
Xiao Liuzi showed a smirk on his face and then waved to the side.
Immediately, several men stepped forward and prepared to take Chen Kun and Chen Qing, father and son, away.
"Chen Xuan, please let us go. We know we were wrong and we will never go against you again!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Qing suddenly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy frantically.
He is afraid of death.
Besides being afraid of death, he is even more afraid of a life worse than death!
