When Jiang Xiaobai entered the city in the morning, the place was quiet and desolate. After walking for more than two hundred meters, he did not even see a hundred people.

Destruction, depression, a severe lack of population, being unable to support the normal operation of a city; that was Jiang Xiaobai's impression at that time.

However, at this very moment, after experiencing a bloody baptism, not only did the citizens of Yizhou City not scatter and flee, they did not hide within their homes while shivering, and instead all walked out of their homes.

There were at least six or seven people at the entrance of every household, with the fewest standing respectfully as if they were welcoming guests in the VIP lounge. There were even some who put on a square table with fruit and snacks on it, except that they didn't hold a red flag like they did in the future and were jumping around while shouting.

Although everyone's expression was wooden and their eyes revealed fear, it was definitely true that they had come out to welcome Widow Chen and Jiang Xiaobai.

There were even some corpses on the north and south streets that had been removed as a matter of urgency. The roads were now unobstructed.

In such a short period of time, they had actually organized all of the citizens of the city and forced them to display a welcoming posture for the bandits inside the city. This Fatty Fang had more power than they had imagined.

With regards to all of this, the Widow Chen did not think too much about it. Instead, she was overjoyed.

"Brother Xiao Bai is not simple, I like the ceremony to enter the city!"

In actuality, the shock in Jiang Xiaobai's heart was far less than that of the citizens of Yizhou City and the shock in Fatty Fang's subordinates' hearts.

Putting aside the halos of the two experts and the terrifying magic tools that could kill people a hundred steps away with a loud bang, their team had completely overturned their understanding of the army.

With such a neat line and such strange equipment, were they really Demon Soldiers?

If these soldiers also had mystical techniques, then wouldn't it be as easy as turning over a palm to defeat an army of ten thousand soldiers?

Fatty Fang had originally planned to express his goodwill towards the Widow Chen, or should he say, towards Jiang Xiaobai, to express a method that he could firmly control his Yi Zhou City, but he quickly discovered that the imposing manner he painstakingly built up was completely suppressed.

He had just casually walked around the city once, and that already left an indelible impression on everyone.

Especially the subordinates of Fatty Fang, they all wanted to follow behind them and advance in formation. However, they were not uniform, their weapons were not uniform, and their pace was even more so not uniform.

It was so awkward that the walk seemed more relaxed and listless.

"Fang Da, lead the way. Target County Yamen!" Widow Chen didn't know where the County Yamen was, so she asked Fatty Fang to lead the way.

Fatty Fang had this thought long ago, and immediately replied as he quickly walked to the front.

He turned to the west and passed through a hundred meter long alley. In front of him was the main street.

This was also the place where the most intense battle was taking place, where the most casualties were high. At least one hundred and fifty people had died here, and a river of blood flowed through the streets.

Jiang Xiaobai originally thought that no matter what, Fatty Fang would not be able to clean up this place.

But when he came over to take a look, Jiang Xiaobai was greatly shocked. Although it could not be said that it was clean, but it had changed greatly.

The entire street was covered by a thin layer of dirt. Most of the blood was covered, and the weapons that were scattered on the street had been cleaned of all the body parts.

But the corpses were still there. More than a hundred of Jin Soldier's corpses, more than twenty of the robust men, as well as the Liu County Order and more than a dozen yamen runners' corpses were divided into three groups and placed under the large flagpole in front of County Yamen.

The corpses of the yamen runners and Fatty Fang's subordinates were arranged neatly in a row. The limbs that had fallen off were also sewn together, there were even a few whose bodies were covered with straw mats.

However, Jin Soldier's corpse was much more miserable, they were all decapitated, their heads were piled up, and their bodies were piled up, just like when they were on fire.

From the moment she walked to the street in front of the Palace, Widow Chen had already grabbed onto Jiang Xiaobai's hand.

As a woman from the countryside, no matter how wild her dreams were, to suddenly see so many corpses and not be afraid was not normal.

For the Widow Chen to be able to stand and continue forward was already a miracle.

With difficulty, Widow Chen walked up the stairs with Jiang Xiaobai's support, but she suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at the mountain of corpses and heads below the flagpole, then looked at the drum on the left, suddenly struggling free of Jiang Xiaobai and walked forward, swinging the drum.

"Dong Dong Dong …" The sound of the drum echoed throughout the entire Yi Zhou City.

Jiang Xiaobai knew that this was a type of release for the Widow Chen. Ever since she had entered the Yi Zhou City, everything she had seen made her feel suppressed, made her feel fear and even fury. However, she couldn't show it on her face.

One strike after another, the Widow Chen's strength was not weaker than a strong man's.

And following the sound of the drum, the expression on Widow Chen's face gradually calmed down and her gaze turned cold. Like a queen, her strong confidence started to condense.

Perhaps it was just a fluke, but such a sound was something that only existed when the government gathered citizens to announce important matters.

Thus, no matter if it was out of force or curiosity, more and more people walked out of their homes and began to gather in the direction of the streets in front of the Palace.

Dozens, hundreds, thousands...

The Widow Chen had been beating the drum for five minutes, and the County Yamen entrance was now completely filled with a black mass of nearly two thousand people.

"Grand Commander, why have you gathered so many people?" The more Fatty Fang looked, the more curious he became. Suddenly, he leaned over and whispered, "Could it be that we have to make them …"

Fatty Fang made a beheading motion, but his expression was filled with hesitation and fear.

Even someone like him, who viewed his life as nothing, would not be able to handle killing two thousand innocent people at once.

"They only know how to kill! They are my people now, my treasures!" Widow Chen rolled her eyes at Fatty Fang, and pulled her hand as they walked down the stairs, saying loudly: "How are you, fellow villagers of Yi Zhou City?"

His voice was clear, and he wore a smile on his face. It was the most sincere greeting.

However, the people around them were completely silent. They looked at the two of them with fear and confusion.

"Fellow villagers, under the pressure of the Jin Kingdom soldiers, under the pressure of the incompetent Great Song officials, you all suffered greatly!" Widow Chen cupped her fists, bowed to the surrounding people and said loudly: "However, the suffering has passed, the two mountains above your heads were flipped over today. From this moment onwards, a brand-new, happy and rich and beautiful life begins! "

Everyone was still silent. They could not understand what he meant.

Widow Chen felt a little awkward. She discovered that there was a seven or eight year old child in front of him, intending to ease the tension. She walked over and said gently, "Little girl, you …"

"Wow …" The little girl was instantly scared to tears.
