Chapter 249: Taiping Daoists Return to Their Hearts

A group of fierce and brave Taiping Daoists swarmed along the way, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, including knives, guns, swords, halberds, etc., all with ferocious faces, slashing at the armored vehicles like crazy, as if trying to stop the chariot from moving forward or smash its hard shell. However, all these efforts were in vain!

The other ten people on the armored vehicle driven by Lu Bu observed the situation outside through the observation mirror. The submachine guns in their hands spewed out blazing flames from time to time through the shooting holes, ruthlessly sweeping towards the ignorant Taiping Dao followers. For a moment, flames shot up into the sky, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the followers screamed and fell to the ground. The casualties were also extremely heavy. In just a short moment, the death toll had exceeded 20% of the total number of people!

Originally, these followers were all deceived by the leader Ma Yuanyi and others, and they thought they could easily get rid of the dozen people who participated in the auction of the Night Pearl, and then successfully take away the huge amount of silver of up to 3 million taels. Who would have thought that things would be completely beyond their expectations.

Not only was the leader Ma Yuanyi shot dead on the spot, but even the leader's brother Ma Yuanzhong, who was hiding behind a tree to command the battle, and all the other core leaders in charge of the command were not spared, either being killed by artillery shells or being shot. Now without a leader and without an effective unified command, the followers instantly fell into chaos. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, they were terrified and fled in all directions, sneaking into the dense forests around them in a panic, wishing that their parents had not given them a few more legs, so they could run as far as they could.

The chariot slowly drove to a quiet and deserted area, and finally stopped steadily. Lü Bu, Guan Yu, Li Su and others stepped out of the chariot, turned around and looked back at the road they came from, and saw all kinds of weapons scattered all over the ground. They stepped forward without hesitation, bent down to pick up the lost items, and after checking them one by one, they put them all into the chariot.

After everyone completed this series of actions, Lu Bu waved his hand lightly, a faint light flashed, and the chariot disappeared out of thin air! It turned out that it had been stored in the storage space of the mysterious space-time router system.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, then opened his lips slightly, curled his index finger and put it into his mouth, and uttered a clear whistle, like a long howl. The sound was soul-stirring in the air, and the Red Hare not far away seemed to have telepathy and neighed with its head raised, and then led the other dozen horses and galloped over like lightning.

Seeing the horses galloping towards him, Lu Bu jumped onto the Red Hare, shook the reins in his hand, and ran towards the forest. The people behind him also jumped on their horses and followed closely. They galloped all the way into the depths of the forest, looking for the fleeing Taiping Daoists, and then gathered them all in an open area.

Facing this group of believers who had been loyal to the Taiping Dao, Lu Bu made a solemn promise with a firm gaze: "As long as you are willing to submit to me, each of you can receive one or two taels of silver in salary every month! This money is enough to support an ordinary family's living expenses for a whole month! However, everyone must abide by military discipline and various regulations." He knew very well what such a generous reward meant to these believers - during their previous service in the Taiping Dao, not only did they have to pay a fixed amount of silver or materials to the leader as offerings every month, they were even often exploited and oppressed; and now, this huge difference in treatment undoubtedly made everyone feel pleasantly surprised.

After hearing the news, the newly joined people were so excited that their eyes filled with tears. They knelt on the ground and expressed their willingness to follow Lu Bu until death. They knew that the new leader gave them not only material satisfaction, but also trust and respect. This kindness nourished everyone's heart like a long drought and a sweet rain, and also let them see the dawn of hope for the future. So, in that empty field, there was an impassioned oath that seemed to penetrate the clouds and shake the world.
