Chapter 437: The Last Stop in River Province (Part 2)

Luo Ren walked out of the army, jumped up, and jumped onto the rammed earth wall that was only five or six meters high. The soldiers on it immediately scattered in fear, and then subconsciously pointed their guns at Luo Ren, but when Luo Ren's eyes were cast, they were afraid and involuntarily lowered the guns to the ground.

At that time, the sound of breaking wind sounded, and Luo Ren looked carefully, and saw several figures coming from all directions and jumping onto the wall. These people were all evolvers.

The people who came were three men and one woman. Luo Ren's eyes fell on one of the men. Judging from the speed of the leap just now, this man should be a quasi-level 4 life, the tallest among the four, and very likely the highest commander of this city.

The man had a smile on his face and clasped his fists and said: "I am Li Rulong, the lord of this city. May I ask what you are doing here?"

"I am here to take your city's population." Luo Ren's words were emotionless, like a machine without emotions.

Li Rulong's smile froze when he heard this. He lowered his head as if thinking, and then a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

"Your Excellency's implication is that you want to destroy my Gujiang City?"

"I said that I only wanted to take the entire city's population, not to destroy Gujiang City. I don't want to use weapons to avoid casualties. You are the city lord, so give me an answer, are you willing or not?"

Luo Ren observed Li Rulong's subtle movements and knew that this man was a tough guy and would probably not surrender voluntarily. But adhering to humanitarianism, he still asked, in case he could defeat the enemy without fighting.

"Hehe..." Li Rulong suddenly laughed, but still lowered his head. His words were full of anger. "I, Li Rulong, struggled and crawled out of the pile of dead bodies. I finally created this career. You want to take it away with just one sentence. You..."

Li Rulong suddenly raised his head with a murderous intent in his eyes. He bent his five fingers into claws and rushed to Luo Ren's throat, roaring: "Go to hell!"

"Even so..." Luo Ren sighed slightly. Li Rulong's extremely fast and fatal blow that could not be dodged in the eyes of outsiders was as slow as a snail in Luo Ren's eyes. He punched Li Rulong's claws and heard the bones break. Then he kicked Li Rulong's right knee, and he fell to the ground like a dog eating shit.

The severe pain in his palms and knees surged into Li Rulong's mind, and at the same time, there was horror and fear. He guessed wrong, very wrong. The person in front of him was much stronger than him, and even a sneak attack could not hurt him at all.

"Sir, spare my life, sir, spare my life... All the people in the city are yours, please spare my life..."

Li Rulong changed his previous tough attitude and kept begging Luo Ren for mercy.

The two men and one woman who came with him were frightened when they saw this scene and did not dare to step forward to help. Seeing Li Rulong begging for mercy like a dog, thinking of his former majesty as the city lord, the three of them couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.

Luo Ren looked around, and the faces of the soldiers around him were all afraid. He said: "As long as you surrender, I will not hurt you. I said, I will only take the people in this city."

"We surrender, we surrender..."

As soon as he finished speaking, some people dropped their guns and knelt on the ground. One person took the lead, and the others followed suit. After a while, all the soldiers surrendered.

He looked at the three evolvers and said, "What about you?"

The three looked at each other, swallowed their saliva, and then knelt on one knee, shouting, "We are willing to surrender!"

Seeing this, Li Rulong's eyes flashed with unwillingness, and he said in his heart, "If you keep the green mountains, you will not worry about firewood. Damn guy, wait!"

Luo Ren's eyes returned to Li Rulong. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Li Rulong's life and death are left to you and the people in the city. If he deserves to die, I will kill him."

Hearing this, Li Rulong's face changed instantly. He thought that if he surrendered and begged for mercy, the person in front of him would let him go, but now, it is clear that he wants his life.

He knew very well that the untouchables in the city hated him to the bone, and letting them decide his life and death was clearly determined to take his life.

The soldiers were all surprised when they heard this, and the two men and one woman also showed surprise in their eyes after hearing it.

The woman's eyes rolled, and she suddenly stood up, pointing at Li Rulong, and said with extreme hatred: "Sir, Li Rulong deserves to be killed!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The two male evolvers looked at each other, nodded heavily, and said to Luo Ren with a fist: "Sir, what Li Rulong did is indeed worthy of death!"

"Deserve to be killed! Deserve to be killed! Deserve to be killed!"

Many soldiers who had abandoned their guns also raised their arms and shouted. They looked at Li Rulong with eyes full of resentment, and it seemed that they really wanted Li Rulong to die.

"This Li Rulong is really unpopular." Luo Ren said in his heart.

Li Rulong's face was frighteningly gloomy, his eyes were extremely gloomy, staring at the woman, gritting his teeth, "Only villains and women are difficult to raise!"

He swept his eyes over the others, furious, "You ungrateful bastards, I will kill you!"

Although one leg and one hand were broken, he still had one leg and one hand. He jumped up from the ground and rushed to the people around him, wanting to kill them all.

Luo Ren couldn't let this happen. "Clang", the sky sword came out, and a cold light flashed. Li Rulong's movements suddenly stiffened. He widened his eyes, unwillingness and anger were written on his face. Suddenly, a circle of red lines appeared on his neck, and the red lines gradually expanded, and blood oozed out.

The next moment, Li Rulong fell forward, his head and body separated, and blood gushed out from the broken neck like a fountain.

They shouted that Li Rulong should die, but when they saw Li Rulong really die in front of them, the people on the scene were still shocked.

"Open the city gate!" Luo Ren shouted.

At this moment, Luo Ren's words were like the sound of an imperial decree, and no one dared to disobey. The city gate opened and the guards entered the city.

After entering the city, the guards immediately confiscated the weapons of those soldiers and then took over the city defense.

The next thing to do was to mobilize the people. After going deep into the city, Luo Ren understood why the soldiers wanted Li Rulong to die.

The residences of ordinary civilians were simply pig pens, and the food they ate was worse than pig food. Soldiers were better, but the good was limited. Looking at Li Rulong's mansion, it was very luxurious, and the daily food was fresh animal meat. When food was not abundant, he also set up a wine cellar and used a large amount of grain to make wine to supply him and his subordinates.

Luo Ren opened the granary to release grain, took out all the grain in the granary, and let the people have a good meal, mainly to replenish their physical strength.

After all, it is still several hundred kilometers to migrate back to the nearest station, Hanhai City.

Although Luo Ren's subjective meaning is to replenish the people's physical strength by opening the warehouse, the incidental gains are also very good, that is, people's hearts.

Chiyang City has a large population, how to maintain stability, that is the people's hearts, as long as the people's hearts are stable, the public security of Chiyang City will not be very troublesome. And how to stabilize the people's hearts is to see the truth in small things.

What do ordinary people care about?

Power, military strength, weapons and equipment?

None of them!

Ordinary people care about what is in front of them, that is, food and clothing, and hope!

As long as they can eat and wear warm clothes, most people will not do some bastard things for no reason.

If there is hope, it will inspire the motivation of many people, thereby improving work efficiency and production.

As long as these are done, and some bad things are restricted, then it will be what the people want, and Chiyang City with a large population will not have major man-made unrest.
