Quick Transmigration: Help! What to do when my husband is obsessed with love?

Chapter 98 Rebellious Officials of the Former Dynasty 30

Modern feudal armies are certainly no match for an army illuminated by the brilliance of idealists.

But that's enough.

All Ling Yi wanted was for these people to stop being so lifeless, for those who had exploited them to pay the price, and for them to develop reverence for the god who saved them.

Only in this way can her plan be implemented.

Once the floodgates of complaints were opened, they became an unstoppable torrent.

As the sun was about to rise, nearly a hundred more prisoners fell victim to the soldiers' blades, identified by the slaves.

They either raped women or took pleasure in killing men or children.

In the past, when they wielded the butcher's knife against slaves, they didn't feel anything was wrong, but when the knife was pointed at them, they felt wronged.

Some men, on their deathbeds, shouted that the slaves were their property, and what did it matter if they slept with them?

Occasionally, a woman would cry out before she died, "The slave boy was meant for her child to play with. If he can't make her child happy, what crime is there in killing him?"

They were incredibly stubborn, refusing to admit their mistakes until their very last breath.

But it doesn't matter, the soldiers' swords are even harder.

After these people die, they can go to hell and continue to debate right and wrong with the slaves they killed.

During this period, some slaves, of course, harbored resentment and deliberately slandered the indigenous people.

However, under Ling Yi's method of cross-verification, they were quickly exposed and lost their dried meat and hot soup.

After Lingyi used the rare fur collected by the clan leader to polish Feiguang's fur, she finally arrived in front of the slaves whose expressions had become angry because they had eaten some food.

"Everyone, it's time to go home."

Whether they were slaves from the Central Plains who had homes but were killed, or slaves from barbarian tribes whose homes were destroyed, she would give them a home.

Perhaps because the group had been too friendly since entering, some of the newly captured slaves, unable to recognize their own status, suddenly asked, "Are these barbarians coming back with us too?"

Ling Yi suddenly turned around and looked coldly at the person: "Is there a problem?"

The man was the first to come forward and accuse the tribesmen of oppressing them. Now, his stomach was full of dried meat and biscuits. Remembering how easy these people were to talk to, he mustered his courage and said, "How can we, the people of the Central Plains, live with barbarians?"

Ling Yi looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Continue."

"Kill them all!" Seeing that Ling Yi was indeed easy to talk to, the man was overjoyed: "Kill these useless people, and then give us their food!"

Before Ling Yi arrived, the soldiers had already given the slaves some dry rations.

The amount of dry rations found in the emergency search was not much, barely enough to keep these people from starving to death on their way back to Tongcheng.

This bold and meticulous person immediately set his sights on the grain in the hands of the barbarians.

In his view, this is something only the people of the Central Plains can enjoy; how could barbarians be worthy of it?

Among the slaves, some watched coldly as this fool jumped around, waiting to see how he would court death.

The barbarian clutched the grain he had just received, his eyes filled with fear.

They are all from the Central Plains, so what if this official listens to that person and throws them here?

"No." Ling Yi's words pulled them back from despair.

She continued, "Any other questions?"

The man was taken aback, then said, "How could you do this? I'm going to tell a higher-ranking official and have them punish you for treason!"

idiot.

Ling Yi raised her hand: "Kill him."

Blood splattered, and the other slaves numbly dodged to the side, not even bothering to scream.

Do you really think these people are easy to talk to? Haven't you seen how many barbarian corpses they killed could pile up into a mountain?

Ling Yi glanced around at the barbarians and Central Plains people, who were bowing their heads but clearly divided, and said, "I know that some of you think the same way that dead guy did."

"I also know that some barbarians have ulterior motives, thinking they can eat their fill and then run away, or they may even harbor murderous intent towards the people of the Central Plains."

Her voice suddenly turned icy cold: "But none of that matters. Under my blade, you must put away all your ulterior motives and obediently do as I command!"

"I saved you, and I can kill you!"

Seeing the terrified people, Ling Yi smiled and said, "Let's go!"

It is not easy to integrate people with different customs, or even those with deep-seated hatred, but Lingyi has plenty of patience.

She would first subdue them with fear, then lure them with the promise of a wonderful life.

More people in this world want to live a good life than to hold grudges.

After the hatred dissipates, Lingyi will introduce a series of policies, such as rewards for intermarriage, rewards for learning Mandarin, and rewards for farming.

She believed that these people would be tamed by her and drawn into the program she had set.

The person known as No. 001, who was waving the big stick of "ethnic integration is good for everyone," didn't realize that she's now acting like a tyrant, riding on everyone's heads and dominating humanity.

With the deterrent effect and the reward, the journey to Tongcheng was relatively smooth.

The freed slaves, herding cattle and sheep, followed the main force, picking up wounded soldiers and surrendered troops along the way, marching in a grand procession towards Tongcheng.

The tribesmen who had been left behind in the tribal camp were the ones with more principles.

Before they could recover from their grief, another group of barbarians discovered their weakness.

On the grasslands, there is no helping the weak and needy, only the strong survive.

Those who remain will become spoils of war for the Surprise Tribe, either as slaves or as new tribespeople.

But for the time being, none of this has anything to do with Ling Yi.

She was eager to return home and see Xiao Yao.

Ling Yi still remembers the sad look in his eyes when she left.

She was busy at the time and unable to offer comfort.

But now, she has won, and she has enough time.

When the grand procession appeared outside Tongcheng, it startled the officials who were racking their brains to curry favor with Xiao Yao.

What are such a large group of people doing here?

Could it be that the barbarians have gone mad and want to attack the city?

Before the sent-out scouts returned and while these people were filled with doubt and uncertainty, the gates of Prince Rui's mansion, which had been closed for a long time, finally opened, and His Highness Prince Rui, with a calm expression, appeared before everyone.

"Gentlemen, let's go." He glanced indifferently at these good-for-nothings: "The princess has returned. Let us go and fetch her."

"Princess?" The people were completely confused.

At this moment, Xiao Yao revealed a handsome smile: "A few days ago, the princess discovered that barbarians were plundering the people and led the army to pursue the enemy. Now is the time to return in triumph. Everyone, please follow me."

After saying that, he led the way, followed by the guards of the Prince's Palace and three somewhat excited villagers, one old and two young.
