"Ugh"
Sighing lightly, he didn't tell Qin He about these things, didn't do anything, just shook his head with a wry smile.
This wry smile is so helpless.
Facing Wei Changtian, Chu An knew that he was powerless to resist.
If the former wants to die, he will die.
If the former wants to live by himself, he will live by himself.
No one wants their own destiny, even life and death, to be controlled by others.
But what can be done?
Just like the people who are running for their lives in a panic.
In the midst of this chaos, as ordinary people who have never practiced, as "grass people" without the slightest power, what choice do they have?
"Ah!! It's Wei Yanluo!!"
"Run away!!"
"Escape!!"
From the initial anger, to the excitement after the God Protector Dragon appeared, to the fear at this moment.
When Wei Changtian's threat clearly reached everyone's ears, the surrounding tens of thousands of people panicked and fled in all directions.
The panicked shouts were extremely chaotic, and people kept falling from the crowded crowd.
Cries, shouts, and howls are mixed together, like a symphony of the end times, playing the deepest despair of mankind in the face of death.
Then at a certain moment, someone suddenly stopped.
This is a woman in ordinary clothes, she should not be too old, but her disheveled hair and rough palms make her look older than her real age.
More importantly, she was holding a small swaddle in her arms, and the baby's cry was heart-rending in the small quilt full of patches.
What does this woman do?Where is her man?These are not yet known.
But just as everyone was fleeing for their lives in the direction away from Wei Changtian and Lu Yuanjin, she suddenly stood still, and then turned around and walked step by step against the crowd to the "battlefield" that everyone could not avoid.
"Are you crazy?"
"Don't die?!"
"Run away!"
Many people around her thought she was crazy or stupid.
But the woman turned a deaf ear to these voices, just hugged her baby tightly, passed through the crowd, and stood on the empty street in a very conspicuous manner.
Not far away, both Wei Changtian and Lu Yuanjin saw her, and judging from their expressions, they should not recognize this woman.
The latter bowed his head, walked to Lu Yuanjin without saying a word, and slowly knelt down to the ground with the swaddle in his arms.
"who?!"
With a low voice, Lu Yuanjin subconsciously took a half step back, his eyes very vigilant.
It can be seen that he is a little afraid that this is Wei Changtian's trap.
After all, there is something wrong with such an abnormal behavior by such a woman in this situation.
Squinting his eyes, his inner strength surged in his palms, and Lu Yuanjin was ready to attack at any time.
However, when the woman kowtowed three times at him, and then raised her head with tears on her face, he was unavoidably stunned.
"Back to the prince, the girl's name is Zhang Zhen, and she lives in Zucchini Lane in Yongding City."
Zhang Zhen, a very common name.
Coupled with the woman's clothes, appearance, words and deeds, she is undoubtedly just an ordinary person.
Then it's even weirder.
At such a time when everyone else was running for their lives, why Zhang Zhen not only did not run away, but risked her own life with a baby in her arms?
"Is Mr. Zhang?"
For the time being, there was no action. Lu Yuanjin first glanced at Wei Changtian, who was on the opposite side. After finding no abnormality, he said coldly:
"There is going to be a fierce battle here, you should leave this place with your child quickly!"
"."
In the face of such "uncertain factors", Lu Yuanjin actually "could persuade him with good words", which is already considered a very imperial demeanor.
But the woman was unmoved, just looked up at him with tears on her face, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
"what do you want to say?!"
The tone was even more indifferent, and Lu Yuanjin, who was already extremely irritable, had no patience at this moment.
And the woman should have also noticed this, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally fell to the ground and choked:
"Big, big prince, I beg you."
"Just, let go of Gongsun Yan."
"The man of Min and Minnv died of illness a few years ago, and Minnv almost lost her life to give birth to this child."
"The girl doesn't understand any big truth, she just wants this child to live and live well"
"He doesn't deserve to die."
"Eldest Prince, he's still so young, he shouldn't die!"
Chapter 836
My son is so young, the women only want him to live.
When the woman named Zhang Zhen knelt in front of Lu Yuanjin and uttered these words with tears streaming down her face, the chaotic voices around seemed to gradually become quieter.
Many people suddenly stopped and looked over in a daze.
The eyes of Wei Changtian and Lu Yuanjin also froze slightly.
Obviously, it must have taken a lot of courage for this woman to say those words.
She should have expected her end, but she did it anyway.
The reasons for this are not complicated.
Because she is a mother, she doesn't want to see her infant child die like this.
so......
"enough!"
Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted the woman's entreaties.
Lu Yuanjin, who recovered from his astonishment, flicked his sleeves violently, and growled in an extremely cold voice:
"Don't forget! You are a citizen of Dahui!"
"You have to be more clear! It's not me who wants to kill you! It's him!"
Pointing at Wei Changtian who was facing him, Lu Yuanjin's face flushed red, and he could see that he was very angry at the woman's behavior.
"He was the one who killed the father! He was the one who killed the second brother! He was the one who ordered the army to besiege the city! He was the one who threatened to massacre the city!
"
"He is the one who wants to kill you! And you, as Dahui citizens, not only did not rise up to resist! Instead, you helped the evildoers! You want me to admit defeat to him?!"
"ridiculous!"
"Hahaha! It's really ridiculous!
"
The scorching sun was in the sky, and the two dragons faced each other in the clear sky.
Lu Yuanjin's angry laughter spread far and wide, causing most of the people to bow their heads in silence.
Because what Lu Yuanjin said was not unreasonable.
Indeed, it was Wei Changtian who wanted to kill, not Lu Yuanjin, let alone Da Hui.
What's more, Wei Changtian had already killed Lu Hongji and an unknown number of Dahui soldiers before, and for the Dahui people, they should have been enemies of life and death.
So, facing an enemy who wants to kill him, should he "die standing up" or "live on his knees"?
Perhaps everyone will have their own choice on this question.
And now it is obvious that most Yongding people have chosen the latter...
"Elder, eldest prince, the daughter of the people just wants to live, and only wants my child to live..."
There were more tears gushing from the corners of her eyes, and the woman trembled and wanted to say something.
But before she could finish speaking, Lu Yuanjin interrupted her sharply again:
"To shut up!"
"Let me ask you! Are you a secret agent sent by the thieves to deceive the public?!"
"what!"
Hearing Lu Yuanjin's words, the woman's eyes widened for a moment, and she hurriedly shook her head in denial, "Minnv is not a craftsman! Minnv is just..."
"Then you think I'm bound to lose?"
His tone became icy cold, Lu Yuanjin suddenly took a step closer, and looked at the woman at his feet with cold eyes: "You think I have no chance of winning against Wei Changtian, so I begged for Gongsunyan to save my life."
"Say! Yes or no?!"
"..."
Either you are a spy sent by Wei Changtian to confuse people's hearts, or you have decided that I am not Wei Changtian's opponent.
Although Lu Yuanjin's expression at this time was a bit hideous, his logic was correct.
Or from his perspective, he can only see these two possibilities.
But Lu Yuanjin is a high-ranking prince after all, so he may never understand the thoughts of these most ordinary people.
"Elder, eldest prince, the daughter of the people has never thought of it like this..."
Shaking her head with a wry smile, the woman was still kneeling on the ground, but the previous panic had disappeared from her eyes, she stared at Lu Yuanjin as if she was going all out and answered truthfully:
"Minnv has never practiced, let alone seen such a scene as Ssangyong appearing in this world, how do I know who will win..."
"But the eldest prince, women dare not gamble..."
"Folk girls have a humble life, and they will die when they die..."
"But if you lose, Minnv's children will also die..."
"Min, Minnv don't dare to gamble, don't dare to gamble..."
"..."
Don't dare to gamble.
This is the answer given by the woman.
And just after she finished speaking, more and more people around suddenly left the crowd silently, walked up to Lu Yuanjin, and knelt down on the ground without saying a word.
Tens, hundreds, thousands...
Soon, an unknown number of people knelt around Lu Yuanjin.
At first glance, this scene looks familiar.
But it's actually quite different.
An hour ago, they knelt at the foot of Longshou Mountain out of anger and petitioned for Gongsunyan.
Now, they are kneeling at Lu Yuanjin's feet because of fear, seeking a way out for themselves or their relatives.
As the woman said, they dare not gamble.
They are not Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping, who actually bet on a country.
