Chapter 781 - Don't take it seriously

"The bandits are coming!!"

"Do not!"

On the brick tower in the small town, a middle-aged man was wailing in despair.

"Master Jun!"

"We are wronged!"

“We are truly being wronged!!”

"My clan has been loyal for generations, how could we be traitors?"

"I am a candidate!"

"I dare not forget a single word of the saint's teachings."

"Please, Master Jun, tell the King of Heaven—were we framed?!"

"You will never participate in a major conspiracy?"

Just as Mr. Chen was begging for mercy, the remaining able-bodied men of the Chen family were preparing for battle enthusiastically in front of the old man who was spitting and waving his crutches.

They had already set up water barriers outside the city, dispatched patrol boats, and pulled several cleaned tiger squat cannons from the watchtowers.

It is said that it was used by Qi Jiguang in the past.

At first glance, Chenjia Town seems to be well defended.

Servants and boy servants from various households were running on the streets, as were militiamen armed with swords and guns. The river was covered with blockades made of wooden stakes and stones, as well as bamboo fences to prevent pirates from landing.

The town's blacksmith shops were buzzing with activity, turning basket after basket of lead, iron, and charcoal into lead bullets and spearheads. As for the tailors, they were working overtime, sewing cotton and paper armor...

But Mr. Chen knew that with such a formation, it was enough to fight against small groups of Japanese pirates or water bandits, but what he saw before him was...

Looking at the endless army of plants outside Chenjia Town, Mr. Chen felt nothing but despair.

He originally thought that the clan leader would organize local militia and sect members to go to Nando to rescue the king.

It won't take long before the Chen family will rise to prominence because of their contribution to the emperor. Maybe a small scholar like me can also become a superior person.

As a result, after Chen Jialuo and Chen Yuzhi left for a while, a piece of news came back.

"Investigate Chen Jialuo, the treacherous villain who deceived the emperor..."

The vine armor fungus outside the blockhouse is still chirping.

The general idea is that the Chen family has been abusing the people, annexing land, smuggling goods, colluding with pirates, and wreaking havoc on the countryside. Now, they are even more audacious, colluding with the Jiangnan bandits to rebel and even assassinate the emperor...

They are simply a group of lawless, shameless beasts whose crimes are unforgivable!

Now that Chen Jialuo, Chen Yuzhi, and the others have been executed, the remaining people must also be held accountable...

Simply kill nine generations of the clan.

When Mr. Chen heard the news, he was dumbfounded.

How did things turn out like this?

How did the head of the family become a traitor?

Mr. Chen, who couldn't understand all this, could only climb up the city wall and beg for mercy.

However, the plant army was too lazy to pay attention to him after listing his crimes.

"attack!!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The pea-shaped gunners at the front roared and poured all their bullets onto the top of the city like a rainstorm. Anyone who dared to show his head would immediately turn into a pool of minced meat.

Where had the militia of Chenjia Town ever seen such a battle?

They could only huddle in watchtowers or behind city walls, crying and shouting desperately.

With the suppressing fire of the pea gunners, the potato minelayers quickly approached the city wall and buried one mine after another.

"Boom!"

Amidst the thunderous explosion, smoke and dust billowed up into the air, and gravel, loess, blue bricks... flew everywhere.

Then, with a series of teeth-grinding creaking sounds, the sturdy blockhouse collapsed, and all the militiamen who had no time to escape were buried there.

"bandits!"

"Bandits have entered the town!"

Accompanied by the howling of defeated soldiers and the sound of gongs, the wealthy families in the town closed their doors and windows, hoping that their high walls and courtyards could slightly hinder the advance of the plant army.

But this is obviously wishful thinking.

It didn't take long for the plant army to break into their compound and turn it into a bloody battlefield.

In fact, the same scene is happening in various places in Jiangnan.

Sophia defined Chen Jialuo's behavior as a traitor in the Jiangnan region who intended to rebel.

As for rebellion, it has always been the case that all nine generations of the family will be executed without any negotiation.

In addition, Shu Yichao happened to have an extremely detailed list in his hand.

Oops.

Isn't this a coincidence?

So, Shu Yichao did not hesitate to launch the most thorough purge of the Jiangnan region, including the farming and reading families, retired officials, the martial arts sects, and the wandering knights.

But anyone who resists will be slaughtered.

If someone were to look down from the sky at this moment, they would be shocked to find that green waves were everywhere, and wherever they went, there was nothing but sky-high flames, billowing black smoke, and the glaring smell of blood...

"What does it mean that the inner treasury is burned to ashes, and the streets are trampled with the bones of nobles?"

"Will the man who first created burial mounds of clay have no descendants?"

"The mastermind behind this incident has been annihilated by me!"

Just as Shu Yichao was happily pointing and talking on the interface, playing the Nine Clans Candy Crush game with great concentration, and the country's class ratio was changing rapidly.

New notification has arrived.

[You successfully eliminated all resistance and established your rule.]

[You have completely occupied the three Nine Cauldrons lands.]

[World sapling detected.]

[Do you want to gather luck to water the world sapling?]

[If you choose Yes, the World Tree will grow slightly, the luck will start to shift, and the soldiers' recovery will increase slightly.]

[If you select No, then...]

"Agree!" Shu Yichao pressed the agree button without thinking.

It seems like the props have been upgraded?

Anyway, it can speed up the replenishment speed -

Then order it.

[Luck is beginning to shift...]

"Ka-la, ka-la!"

Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the residents of Nandu were astonished to see a towering tree rising from the ground within the Tianwang Palace at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Then, countless points of light floated in from afar, and then floated down like spring rain, all dripping onto the giant tree.

"..Bubbles?"

Shu Yichao blinked.

When the World Tree rose from the ground, the flower bud in the center suddenly wrapped up the big white moth in his arms, and then turned it into a giant cocoon.

"What is this?"

island.

"gentlemen!"

The butler rushed into Chen Jinnan's study, sweating profusely, speechless and trembling.

"Yan, King Yanping, he, he..."

Chen Jinnan's brush, which was placed on the paper, was frightened by the sudden movement and stopped suddenly, leaving a large and ugly stain on the paper.

But Chen Jinnan didn't care about these.

He just looked up at the housekeeper who was crying, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Go ahead."

"How many of our troops were killed?"

The butler gritted his teeth.

"The whole army was completely annihilated."

There was a hint of despair in the butler's voice.

"Prince Yanping has died on the battlefield!"

"It is said that the remains fell into the Yangtze River and not even the body was found."

".....I knew it." Chen Jinnan's chest rose and fell violently. He slowly exhaled a breath of foul air and then opened his eyes.

"Walk!"

"Where are you going?" the butler asked subconsciously.

"To meet the princess."

"?"

The Prince of Yanping's Palace was in chaos after receiving this explosive news. All the civil and military officials who had gathered there were pale and had dull eyes.

They kept muttering and arguing, while Zheng Jing's princess just sat in her seat holding the prince and wiping her tears.

When Zheng Jing led his army to war, he took almost all the backbones with him. Those left here were basically small fry. Now they had become headless flies and could do nothing.

"Mr. Fufu!"

When the officials saw Chen Jinnan appear, they immediately surrounded him as if they had found their backbone, and talked in unison.

"You're here."

“What do we do now?”

"You have to make up your mind."

Even the Princess of Yanping cast her expectant gaze on Chen Jinnan.

"Princess." Chen Jinnan stepped forward and bowed.

"Before it's too late."

"Hurry up and lower the watch."

"If you're any later, there will be no chance!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

No, sir, our king was killed by bandits?
