The rain that fell from the sky washed the blood off the ground.

But the smell of gunpowder in the air was long-lasting.

A large number of soldiers from Zheyang County were imprisoned, and panic spread over Zheyang County.

All the people hid in their homes, and the people were the most miserable people in the troubled times.

Because they are powerless to resist, they can only be slaughtered like fish on a chopping board.

But fortunately, Xiao Yan'er's awakening was like this rain from the sky, which extinguished Lu Yao's anger.

The most important thing after the capture of Zheyang County is to appease people's hearts.

And this matter is most suitable for Wang Meng and Zhang Han to do.

And Lu Yao returned to the barracks after making an inspection.

The rain was pouring outside, and Yao was gently blowing with a bowl of hot porridge in the room.

"Ah~"

Lu Yao coaxed Xiao Yan'er who was lying on the hospital bed like a child.

Because she has just woken up, Xiao Yan'er is still a little weak now.

Looking at Lu Yao, who was feeding herself porridge in front of her, Xiao Yan'er couldn't help but leave two lines of tears in the corners of her eyes, and she muttered.

"I thought I would never see you again.

Lu Yao stretched out her hand and brushed the tips of Xiao Yan'er's hair and laughed softly.

"Aren't I here now?" At

this time, Xiao Yan'er was still like a world away, after being caught by Zheng Mao at the beginning, Xiao Yan'er had been uneasy.

Until now, lying in front of Lu Yao, Xiao Yan'er still felt a little unbelievable.

"Are you really the emperor?" Xiao

Yan'er asked timidly.

Hearing this, Lu Yao put down the porcelain bowl in his hand and spoke.

"Whether I am an emperor or a cook, I will always be Lu Yao, and this will not change. For

Lu Yao, this emperor was not out of his original intention, after all, it was the result of driving ducks to the shelves at that time.

Ascending to the throne is destined to shoulder a lot of pressure.

But fortunately, the current Lu Yao is no longer the panicked Lu Yao before.

After drinking the porridge, Xiao Yan'er lay on the bed and fell asleep.

The fright and torture she has been subjected to these days has made Xiao Yan'er never sleep peacefully.

Now, after letting go of the fear in my heart, a feeling of weakness came over me.

Xiao Yan'er, who was wrapped in the quilt, looked at Lu Yao beside the bed and asked.

"It is said that the emperor has seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, and there are more than three thousand beauties in the harem.

Lu Yao's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he said comfortingly.

"I am actually a greedy and lustful person, and you are my true love.

Lu Yao only said half of this, after all, a true love like Xiao Yan'er, Lu Yao's harem still has Pei Ning, Yang Yanying and Fan Lihua, who has not yet been conquered.

Xiao Yan'er couldn't help but smile when she heard this, the spring breeze of this smile and laughter rippled, and the bold proprietress of the Chunhualou was back again.

"Flim Flam.

After saying this, Xiao Yan'er could no longer resist the surging sleepiness and fell asleep.

Lu Yao reached out and stroked Xiao Yan'er's forehead, then helped her cover the quilt and quietly got up to leave.

Outside the big tent, Luo Cheng was guarding the door, and when he saw Lu Yao coming out, he knelt down on one knee and said.

"Your Majesty, there are people outside the camp who ask to see you.

Lu Yao said.

"Who?"

I heard it was from the Liu family. "

Liu's?"

Lu Yao's eyes froze, and the scars on Xiao Yan'er's body were given by Zheng Mao's wife, Liu.

Lu Yao didn't go to them, but they found themselves first.

Lu Yao flicked his sleeves and said coldly.

"Go and see!"

Outside the barracks, the cold rain was falling.

Hundreds of people knelt outside the barracks in the rain.

The leader is none other than Liu Qiubai, the patriarch of the Liu family.

In the cold rain, Liu Qiubai's body trembled constantly.

He is an old bone, how can he still withstand the devastation of the cold rain.

Behind him were one hundred and eight members of the Liu family of Zheyang County.

Many people in the clan looked at Liu Qiubai, who was kneeling at the front, and they were all worried.

"Patriarch, you better go back quickly, leave the matter of pleading to us, how can you withstand such a devastation at your age.

"Yes, Patriarch, I think that the current saint is the Ming Emperor, and after attacking the city, he did not disturb the people, and he will forgive me and others.

It's a pity that no matter how the people behind him persuade him, Liu Qiubai still knelt on the ground and didn't speak.

The sins committed by his descendants will naturally be borne by him, the patriarch.

"Shut up! Today's disaster in Zheyang County started from my Liu family, and naturally it will end with my Liu family, if you can't ask Your Majesty for forgiveness, what can you do if you kneel and die here?"

everyone lowered their heads helplessly when they heard this.

Just when everyone didn't know what to say, a footstep sounded.

Lu Yao came in the rain.

Seeing Lu Yao's figure, Liu Qiubai immediately kowtowed and said.

"The sinner Liu Qiubai brought one hundred and eight members of the Liu family to make amends to His Majesty!" Lu

Yao looked up when he heard this, and saw that the one hundred and eight people of the Liu family were kneeling in the rain from front to back.

Liu Qiu, who was the leader, was white-haired, and Luo Cheng on the side whispered beside Lu Yao.

"The shopkeeper's injury was treated by Mr. Liu, and the Liu family has always had a good reputation in Zheyang County, and I haven't heard of any domineering behavior.

Hearing this, Lu Yao nodded, Zheng Mao and Zheng Fang deserve to die, but Lu Yao will not take one thing out on others.

"Rain and cold, let's go into the account and say.

After speaking, Lu Yao got up and left.

Everyone in the Liu family was overjoyed when they heard this, since Lu Yao didn't kill them at the first time, it means that there is still something to talk about in this matter.

So everyone hurriedly helped Liu Qiubai into the tent.

The reason why Lu Yao let go of the Liu family is naturally not only that they have nothing to do with the whole thing, Lu Yao is unwilling to kill innocents indiscriminately.

One of the more important things is that Lu Yao needs to use the Liu family to stabilize the hearts of the people in Zheyang County.

If you kill the entire Liu clan, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

Liu Qiubai, who walked into the camp, trembled.

Just now, he buried his daughter, son-in-law and grandson with his own hands, which made the old man physically and mentally exhausted.

Lu Yao sat on the main seat and said indifferently.

"You are not accomplices, and I should be convicted at my discretion. Zheyang County has gone through the war this time, and the follow-up should develop steadily, and I am not willing to use swords and soldiers, but the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and half of the Liu family's family wealth will be confiscated to restore the production and construction of Zheyang County, do you have any objections?"

Liu Qiubai looked at Lu Yao with some shock when he heard this, this was simply an unexpected joy.

Originally, Liu Qiubai was ready to destroy the family, but Lu Yao's kindness only deprived them of half of their family property.

This is simply no longer a blessing, it is simply a gift.

Liu Qiubai knelt on the ground with his family behind him, chanting in his mouth.

"Grass people, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Lu

Yao continued.

"Since you are the number one clan in Zheyang County, you should play a leading role, don't let Zheyang County repeat the mistakes of the past.

Liu Qiubai immediately replied when he heard this.

"The grass people are in order.

At the moment when Liu Qiu's white voice fell, the system's prompt voice came from Lu Yao's mind.
