C4642 Collecting Money in Public
The lieutenant's fierce-looking face revealed a ferocious smile.
This was a complete and utter threat. Anyone who refused to pay would be sent to the frontlines.
What would happen if they really went to the battlefront?
Many people had panicked expressions on their faces.
"One million, that's too much"
"Sir, can you make an exception? A little less is fine too."
Some people had already begun to beg bitterly. One million was still an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
The lieutenant glared and cursed: "Don't be shameless. This is already a favor I've given you, a favor I've asked for!"
This lieutenant could be considered someone who had been on the battlefield for many years, and he had a heavy murderous aura around him.
At this moment, his angry shout shocked many people.
The rest of the people did not dare to speak anymore. Some of the people who came from better families had already taken out their banknotes and handed them to the lieutenant respectfully.
"That's right! Not bad! Your money will all be used to fight against the Tang Army. " A satisfied smile appeared on the lieutenant's face.
The person who paid the money was immediately taken away by the soldiers at the side, away from this place.
When the others saw this, they all had envious expressions on their faces.
"A million. If I take this out, I'm afraid I'll have to empty out all my belongings."
"It's better to pay up. If I go to the battlefield, I'll definitely lose my life."
Some people clenched their teeth and still did not hand over the money.
But even so, there were only a few people who could pay up. There were still several tens of thousands of people present. They simply could not take out so much money.
Lu Yu watched all of this from the beginning to the end, and didn't pay the money.
He looked at the soldier beside him and asked coldly, "You openly demand money. Aren't you afraid that someone will care about you?"
The lieutenant raised his eyebrows and sized Lu Yu up and down. "What does it have to do with you? Don't ask for trouble, you won't take the money!"
"So what if I don't pay!" Lu Yu said lightly.
"Sure! If you have the guts, don't kneel and beg me when the time comes."
The lieutenant looked at Lu Yu, then at the group of people standing behind Lu Yu. He sneered and said, "I will give you a chance to contribute to the Imperial Court. Today, you will be responsible for guarding outside the camp."
Everyone was in an uproar.
Many of them had expressions of despair on their faces.
Here, staying in the camp was the safest.
Once they went out, they might run into the Tang Army. At that time, it would be a dead end for them.
"Sir, we are just new recruits. It's against the rules to arrange for us to be outside right after we just got here!" Someone shouted.
Just as that person finished speaking, his face was suddenly slapped across the air. His entire body spun in midair before fiercely falling to the ground.
The lieutenant put his hands on his waist and said majestically: "Where did all this nonsense come from? If anyone dares to disobey, military law shall be enforced!"
The person who had shouted just now was beaten until he spat out blood. Even a few of his teeth flew out.
When the others saw this scene, they were all terrified and did not dare to step forward.
"Hmph! A bunch of trash!"
The lieutenant was pleased with himself and was about to continue reprimanding.
However, at that moment, a loud explosion sounded from afar.
A spirit stone cannon instantly tore through the air and landed in front of the camp's entrance. The hundreds of people standing there were instantly turned into ashes and disappeared from the face of the earth.
