    Several people walked up to the watchtower and Wen Da briefly explained the situation.  Chen Lu took a look and found that the people were quite well-behaved. Although they all looked excited, they still stood outside the line.

    Ha San looked at Chen Lu and nodded, understanding. He took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Two people come out to answer, and no riding is allowed."

    The villagers were quiet for a while, then two people walked out slowly, passed the cordon, and stopped thirty steps outside the camp gate.  The people behind pushed forward, trying to swarm up.

    Hasan shouted: "Others retreat outside the line and be quick, otherwise we will kill without mercy." After shouting in Mongolian, Han and Hui languages, these people retreated again.

    The two men walked a few steps forward and looked at their attire. One was a Mongolian and the other was from the Western Regions. They were both around sixty years old.

    The Mongolians spoke first, speaking in Chinese: "Master Han, put away your bows and arrows first. We are all ordinary villagers with no knowledge. If you are like this, we will not dare to say anything."

    Wen Da rushed to say: "This is a necessary means to fight against the enemy. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, hurry up."

    The Mongolian said: "Are we your enemies? If you say this, we will go back."

    Chen Lu had no choice but to speak: "Two fellow villagers, this battle is not aimed at the villagers. I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to stir up trouble. You can all speak Chinese, which is good. You can speak. Everyone is listening. What's going on?  What's up?"

    This question is not only the two old people, but even their own people. Isn't this a matter of asking?  The two villagers also looked at each other, and it was obvious that they couldn't answer this question at the moment.

    The two people murmured for a while, and the Mongolian said: "Master Han, our horse city has a radius of several hundred miles. Since I can remember, there have been several major plagues, but nothing like this one. You should also know  , this 'belly yellow' is not a serious disease, and it is not contagious at all. What happened today was all caused by the plague brought by your Han people's livestock. If we don't come to you, who are we going to look for? We also went to the counseling office, which is not contagious at all.  I can¡¯t see Mr. Li Wen.¡±

    Chen Lu said: "Well, now that you have met me, you don't need to ask questions anymore. We don't care about where the plague comes from. You can clear a path first and tell us what to do? I am all ears."

    The two men looked at each other with surprise on their faces. Are they officials from the Celestial Dynasty?  A copycat, right?  Is it Li Gui?  Who are you?  Just think about it, who dares to say it?

    The man from the Western Region took a step forward and said in Chinese: "We have discussed it and have three demands: first, you will compensate the horse according to the price if it dies of illness; second, you will treat the sick horse and compensate it according to the price if it dies;  Third, burn all the livestock in your camp. Not even one of these three will work."

    Wen Da was furious. This was the master of Jinyiwei. Ordinary officials usually stayed out of the way. Who dared to be so presumptuous in front of them? He cursed: "Two old men, you are bullying me."  Is there no one in heaven? Is it bad to bully me with a sword? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will turn you into a hedgehog immediately, go back!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers started to commotion, cursing and shouting, and were about to rush through the cordon.  Chen Lu knew the ins and outs of this incident very well. Some people were afraid of trivial matters and were hoping to make the storm more violent.

    Wen Da is undoubtedly doing these people a favor by being so tough.

    Chen Lu shouted: "Neighbors, be silent. My old man tells you that this is not a plague, nor did we bring it. This is someone deliberately sabotaging it and creating ethnic conflict for us. Don't worry, everyone, we are also trying to find a solution.  . No matter whether we brought this disease or not, we are the officials of the imperial court and we will never sit idly by and ignore it."

    Someone in the crowd spoke: "You really have the nerve to say that you are ready to break up your accounts and run away." He seemed to be muttering to himself, and could be heard clearly even a stone's throw away.

    Ha San tried his best to search for this person, but even with his good eyesight, he couldn't see any clues.

    Chen Lu pretended not to hear and continued: "Neighbors, you go back first, we will discuss it and tell you the result. Please go to the camp to rest for a while."

    ¡°We won¡¯t go back unless we agree to the three conditions.¡± It was that person¡¯s voice again.

    Everyone said: "Yes, if you don't go back, just wait here for the result."

    The Mongolians in front spoke: "Master Han, let's wait here. If there is no result for two quarters of an hour, we will go into the camp and burn those cattle, horses and camels."

    Wen Da really couldn't bear it anymore. He felt that Chen Lu was too weak.  It is said that scholars harm the country, and they are useless scholars. It is true. The country is so powerful that they have lost face.  workEnvoys should show the majesty of the Great Celestial Empire in order to live up to their mission.

    He really didn't want to listen to Chen Lu's pedantic words anymore, so he took out a three-eyed gun, fired a shot into the sky above the villagers, and shouted: "Quiet, what the hell, you are so shameless. Who doesn't want to live?"  , come closer, I will help you, I have plenty of lead bullets."

    The clear gunfire sounded extremely real and harsh, and the villagers were immediately suffocated.

    "The Han people are playing rogue, don't be afraid, just rush in!"

    Chen Lu saw him fire this shot and knew in his heart that it was over.  This familiar voice has been encouraging, and this sentence is more encouraging and will definitely anger these villagers.  Chen Lu has been familiar with history books since he was a child. There is a saying in "Laozi": People are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?  These people have lost the basis for their survival - horses. What do they have to worry about?  This is not enough to achieve success, but more than enough to fail.

    Looking at the crowd again, they only hesitated for a moment, and in an instant they rushed through the cordon like a tide and rushed towards the camp.  Chen Lu didn't have time to think too much and just said: "No force is allowed!"

    Wen Da looked at Mr. Chen in astonishment. I, Wen Da, still had the final say in military affairs. Should I not use force and watch them rush in?  Chen Lu could see his doubts and disdain for himself, so he simply ignored him and glanced at Ha San. Ha San nodded, raised his gun and fired three shots into the air.

    As if being blocked by something, the crowd stood there and became silent.

    Ha San shouted: "I'll give you one more chance to retreat outside the line, otherwise we will really shoot the arrows, but you forced us to do so." Then he shouted: "Get ready to shoot the arrows."

    The soldiers inside Muzha all had their bows and arrows ready, waiting for an order to be given, and the fire blunderbuss and serial crossbows were summoned together.

    At this time, we were less than 30 steps away from the camp gate. The villagers were all stunned, knowing that Ha San¡¯s words were not meant to scare him. If he took another step forward, he would definitely be shot into a hedgehog.

    At this time, the voice rang again: "Prepare the fire and throw fire inside."

    People seemed to understand all of a sudden, so they used wooden sticks, whips, hats, whatever they were useful for.  Someone took out a fire matchmaker and everyone set fire to each other.

    Wen Da jumped to his feet anxiously. He had thought about it. If there was any sign of arson, he would immediately release the arrow. He glanced at Chen Lu and made a final request. Chen Lu nodded helplessly.

    At this critical moment, several firecrackers were heard from behind the crowd.  The villagers were panicked and turned back.  Chen Lu and the others could clearly see from the arrow tower that officials from the Institute of Counseling had arrived with more than twenty officials.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
