Chapter 299 Why are you so cruel!

It was he who led the army to rescue these people, but the man in front of him looked as if he was glaring at the enemy who murdered his father.

"Why? Why on earth would you treat us like this?"

Chen Ping's eyes were red as he questioned Ying Heng, his voice full of helplessness and despair.

"Make them stop! Make them stop now!!"

Witnessing the collapse of houses, Chen Ping shouted frantically at Ying Heng and tried to rush forward, but Ying Heng only took a step back and easily avoided Chen Ping's attack.

The purple-clothed attendant returned to Ying Heng with an expressionless face, while the green-clothed woman who came with the army stood in front of Chen Ping.

The two women were both outstanding in appearance, and the cold aura they exuded made Chen Ping feel intimidated.

There is no doubt that if Chen Ping tried the same action again, Qingyi would kill him without hesitation.

"Why? You are all soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, and we are also its people. Why do you want to force us into a desperate situation?"

The grief-stricken villagers questioned Ying Heng and demanded an explanation.

However, Ying Heng just turned around and continued teasing the little tiger.

The unwilling villagers clenched their fists, ready to rush towards Ying Heng, but the purple-clothed and green-clothed people were not just for show.

They had just taken three steps forward when they were easily frozen in place, with their legs hanging in the air and unable to move.

The Jinyiwei cleaned up the scene under the astonished gaze of the villagers, and the fully armed craftsmen, holding shovels, quickly got to work.

Thousands of soldiers started moving at the same time. In an instant, the land where the houses originally stood was dug with deep ditches by the craftsmen.

The sound of shovels hitting each other was continuous, and the scene of labor on such a large scale was spectacular.

The river is full of turbulent currents, and the water rushing down from upstream is becoming more and more turbulent. This is the law of nature.

At this sharp bend in the river, each wave that hits the shore is bigger than the previous one.

If left unchecked, the next wave could sweep away several people.

The Jinyiwei raced against time to demolish houses and widen the river in order to build dams as soon as possible and save the people in the villages along the river.

Ying Heng did his best to do it, and he didn't want to say anything else. He did all this just to live up to his conscience.

I have to say, this little tiger head is really interesting. Every time you pinch his face, you will get a different reaction.

"what are you up to?"

Chen Ping noticed the unusual behavior of the Jinyiwei and was horrified. He loudly questioned Ying Heng.

This person's origins are unknown. Chen Ping originally thought that he came to rescue Jiangbian Village, but now it seems that he may be an official of the imperial court.

The villagers also realized that Ying Heng's identity was unusual. They wanted to step forward to stop him but were afraid that they would be frozen like Lao Chenban.

Chen Ping clenched his fists, his whole body trembled, and he stared at Ying Heng, his chest heaving violently with anger.

If the heavy rain was a play on fate, he would resent the injustice of heaven.

However, at this moment, someone led soldiers to destroy their homes, and the culprit was standing right in front of him. How could Chen Ping not hate him?

If looks could kill, Ying Heng would probably have been torn apart by Chen Ping's eyes.

In this rain, the rain hit the villagers' wet clothes violently.

The little tiger's heart trembled slightly, but when he saw the big brother with a warm smile in front of him, he felt a little relieved.

Just now, his father told him that this older brother was his savior.

However, why did everyone's faces become so solemn at this moment?

"Did Sister Ziyi bring any candy?"

Having played with the little tiger for a long time, nothing can soothe a child's heart better than candy. The little tiger blinked his innocent eyes and looked at Ying Che in confusion, not understanding what the candy in his mouth was.

Sister Zi Yi, who was as beautiful as a character walking out of a painting, took out three sugar cubes wrapped in oil paper from her sleeves.

Ying Heng tasted one piece first, and then gently placed the remaining two pieces into the palm of Little Tiger's hand.

The villagers worked in the rice fields and had a shortage of food. They felt sorry for the little tiger and gave him priority in any food, but he still felt extremely hungry.

After getting ashore, feeling cold and hungry, the little tiger saw the food in Ying Heng's hand and imitated his actions, unwrapped the oil paper and stuffed the small sugar cube into his mouth.

As soon as the candy entered his mouth, the little tiger's eyes widened, shocked by the wonderful taste on his tongue.

Is this sugar?
The sweet taste bloomed on his tongue, and his taste buds felt an unprecedented sweetness, even more delicious than the wild fruits he tasted in the mountains!

Since the little tiger was born, he has been living in a village by the river. Life there is difficult and even filling his stomach is a luxury, let alone luxury goods like candy.

This is the most delicious thing he has ever tasted in his life!

The little tiger who got the candy looked at Ying Heng with a look of intimacy. Ying Heng's figure was reflected in his big eyes, which were full of gratitude.

Ying Heng looked at the little tiger's lively expression and liked the child even more.

He originally made sugar to satisfy the Qingyi and Ziyi people in the mansion, but he never thought it would come in handy at this moment.

The little tiger was enjoying the taste of the sugar with gusto. At the same time, Liu Bowen and the Jinyiwei worked skillfully and had dug deep trenches on the ground.

Chen Ping looked at the busy Jinyiwei and his heart was filled with alarm.

They demolished the houses in the riverside village and dug such a deep ditch. If they continued to move forward, wouldn’t the rice fields be their next target?
Chen Ping's eyes trembled violently. He turned around abruptly and took a few steps forward. The rain blurred his vision and he reached out to wipe the water droplets off his face.

What came into view were several Jinyiwei led by Liu Bowen, holding large shovels and destroying the ridges of the fields!

"you dare!"

Chen Ping's roar was drowned out by the thunder in the distance. As he spoke, Liu Bowen waved his hand and pushed down a ridge with his shovel.

Every inch of soil in this rice field was piled up basket by basket by the villagers led by Chen Ping.

Chen Ping couldn't express how much manpower and effort had gone into the hundred acres of rice fields.

Now, seeing the ridges of the fields destroyed, anger burned in his bones like a raging fire.

Other villagers also noticed the Jinyiwei on the ridge of the field.

After the ridges protecting the rice fields were pushed away, the water in the rice fields quickly drained away.

The rice seedlings that had been soaked in rain for a long time withered.

What made the villagers even more angry was that these Jinyiwei trampled on the rice seedlings mercilessly as if they were trampling weeds!

"Stop, don't touch my rice!"

"My Lords, you are trying to kill us!"

"Are you blind to our hardships and struggles?"

"Why are you still so cruel!"

"I, I will fight you to the death!"

"My rice is the source of my survival!"

The villagers were enraged and threw themselves at the Jinyiwei without hesitation. They ignored their superb martial arts and pushed them away. They stood firmly on the edge of the field and resisted the gushing water with their flesh and blood.

The sad and angry faces, like those of desperate lions, put the Jinyiwei in a difficult situation.

They came to save the people of Qin. If a conflict occurred at this moment, innocent people might be injured by mistake. So when the villagers rushed forward, the Jinyiwei could only retreat step by step and their movements stopped.
