You are all pillars of the empire, go to the front lines and explore new frontiers.
"Great! Great! Great! I never expected to see such a good show!"
A slightly amused voice came from behind the group.
When Leng Ruobing, whose eyes were filled with despair, heard this voice that was so familiar to her very bones, her body trembled, and her eyes revealed disbelief and uncontrollable joy as she stared blankly ahead.
Seeing that there were still people who dared to cause trouble, the Leng family members around them suddenly became furious. This was clearly a mockery of them!
Even the Third Uncle and Young Master Chu's faces darkened.
Everyone turned around to look.
Among them, the hot-tempered middle-aged man, Leng Aoxuan, didn't even see the person clearly before he started cursing loudly in a hoarse voice.
As the third uncle's biological son, once he gets the ancestral home, sells Leng Ruobing, and his own father kicks the bucket, everything will be his.
Nowadays, anyone who dares to meddle in other people's business is clearly going against him, the future head of the Leng family!
"It's that blind bastard...Young Master Chen!!!"
When Leng Aoxuan, who had been so arrogant, saw who it was, his shrill voice instantly turned terrified. Like a duck whose neck had been grabbed, his face turned pale, and his legs went weak. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Despite Leng Aoxuan's appalling behavior, the surrounding members of the Leng family showed no sign of mockery.
Because at this moment, they are not much different from Leng Aoxuan.
Upon seeing who it was, they were all terrified.
Even Third Uncle and that Young Master Chu were the same.
"Young Master Chen!!!"
"Young Master Chen!!!"
"Young Master Chen!!!"
Chen Beiyuan appeared behind the group at some point, a smile on his face, watching the farce unfold with great interest.
He was no stranger to this kind of thing.
He had seen it all in his past life.
It's nothing more than profiting from the misfortunes of the deceased and exploiting the suffering of others.
A woman with no one to rely on, her father in a vegetative state, her mother missing, and no one to protect her, is undoubtedly the easiest target to bully.
Even if they die, no one will care.
Beside him stood a figure draped in a black cloak, obscuring his form and making his face impossible to discern.
In contrast to his calm demeanor, the cloaked figure clenched his fists tightly, his breathing becoming rapid.
His cold gaze fell upon the greedy members of the Leng family before him, and he wished he could tear them to pieces.
Chen Beiyuan naturally noticed An Biyu's barely suppressed killing intent, so he wasn't surprised.
In the original novel, Leng Ruobing is definitely the person An Biyu cares about the most, even more so than Leng Aofeng.
The Miao Gu tribe is a matrilineal society, and every successor is a woman.
For them, men are merely tools for procreation.
Interestingly, perhaps due to the unique nature of the Gu clan, almost all of their offspring are female infants...
The Leng family members wanted to take action against Leng Ruobing.
This has already touched a raw nerve with An Biyu, her mother.
Chen Beiyuan had asked An Biyu to work for him and had promised to ensure the safety of her daughter, so naturally he had to give her an "explanation".
His gaze swept over the terrified crowd before him. Before they could explain, a smile crept across his lips. He clapped his hands and said in a kind tone:
"You are all clearly pillars of the empire. If you are so ruthless to your own people, you must be even more brutal to outsiders. It would be a shame to leave you here."
"Alright then, the Imperial front lines are short of manpower recently. All of you pillars of the nation should go to the front lines to take charge of reclaiming wasteland. There are many alien beasts there, so there will be room for you to make your mark."
"The Empire's 'recruitment order' will be delivered to you shortly."
!!
Are they being conscripted to the front lines to reclaim wasteland?
That's just being cannon fodder!
To become food for those alien beasts?!
This is going to kill them!
The Leng family members present turned pale instantly, and many of those with low tolerance for stress wet themselves on the spot.
No one would think Chen Beiyuan was joking; the current leaders of the Imperial military are from the Chen family.
The military is recruiting "special talents" to the front lines? It makes perfect sense! It makes perfect sense!
Perfectly in accordance with the procedure!
Even the royal family wouldn't say much.
As for whether the parties involved will have any objections?
What, you don't love your country?!
"Young Master Chen, Young Master Chen, I was wrong, I was wrong. I didn't know Ruobing was still your person. Please let me go, please let me go."
"Young Master Chen, I have a 35-year-old mother to support and a baby crying for milk. I can't die!"
"Young Master Chen, have mercy! Young Master Chen, have mercy!"
"Young Master Chen, Young Master Chen, I'm over eighty years old and really can't take any more trouble. Ruobing, Ruobing, please help me plead with Young Master Chen. I was blinded by the nonsense that old dog Third Uncle said."
"Ruobing, I'm your uncle. Your father and I are brothers. Please plead with Young Master Chen for me..."
The Leng family members, who had just been arrogant and vicious, suddenly burst into tears. They never dreamed that Chen Beiyuan would appear here.
If they had known earlier that Chen Beiyuan had feelings for Leng Ruobing, they would never have dared to betray Leng Ruobing!
In an instant, everyone was filled with deep regret.
Their first reaction was to beg for mercy, hoping to escape with their lives.
Some reacted quickly and even tried to flee immediately.
However, just as Chen Beiyuan finished speaking...
Suddenly, figures draped in black robes and holding shackles appeared silently around them, surrounding them.
Click! Click!
Several who tried to escape had their limbs and necks snapped, and were thrown to the ground, dying with their eyes wide open.
The leader, a man in black robes, spoke in a cold voice, like a monster devoid of any emotion:
"Disobeying military orders! Anyone attempting desertion! Execute!"
"The rest of you, put on shackles and send them to the front lines!"
Leng Ruobing watched the scene unfold in silence.
The once ferocious Leng family members were now like a flock of terrified sheep, being pinned to the ground and forcibly shackled by the black-robed men, then dragged away...
Anyone who tried to resist or escape was immediately snapped in the neck without any mercy.
Such ruthless methods instantly terrified everyone present.
The third uncle, who had just been looking cold and menacing, started kowtowing frantically at her, howling:
"Ruobing, your third uncle was wrong, your third uncle was wrong! Please beg Young Master Chen for mercy, please beg Young Master Chen for mercy! Your third uncle used to love you the most..."
Snap!
Perhaps they felt that their third uncle was too noisy.
The black-robed man in charge of capturing him slammed down the iron shackles, instantly creating a deep crater in the old man's face, splattering blood and flesh, and shattering a mouthful of teeth...
Waaah... Waaah... Waaah...
The bloodied and mangled Third Uncle reached out to Leng Ruobing, but he couldn't make a sound, like an old dog with broken teeth being forcibly dragged away.
