"I know you have been severely poisoned, but you still have one last chance today. If you are willing to follow me and be loyal to Prince Duan, I will give you the antidote." Lin Jiuxi said loudly.
She doesn't care about her face, nor does she care how she will be evaluated in history books, whether she will be remembered as a celebrity for thousands of years or be infamous for eternity.
None of these are important, human life is much more important than these.
"Really? But isn't Prince Duan a traitor? What good can come of following him?" They have felt the spread of the poison in the past few days, and their bodies are gradually weakening. When they heard that the poison could be detoxified, many people were still very interested, but they also had some doubts.
"I heard that Prince Duan is a pretty good man, a benevolent and righteous man. I think we can still follow him, right? We're all fighting together anyway. What's the difference between following His Majesty and following Prince Duan? At least following Prince Duan can save our lives." Some people were ready to move.
Some people even said with disdain: "How can he be a benevolent army if he uses such despicable means to drug us? He can drug you today, and he can drug you tomorrow. Do you have to kneel down and beg for your life again and again? I won't do that."
"Brother, what you said makes sense. What use is there for a prince who can only administer poison? Forget it. Like brother, I don't want to live on my knees. We are real men who stand tall and proud. Why should I become a rebel just because of a little poison?"
She didn't think that everyone was afraid of death, but she also didn't expect that there would be so few people who were afraid of death. Most people would rather choose to die bravely than betray His Majesty.

But on the way there, Lin Jiuxi met Linglong and naturally told her about it.
Lin Jiuxi looked a little scared.
"Are you soft-hearted? Hahaha. If you want to achieve great things, you can't be so indecisive. You have to know what kind of path you are taking, instead of being a rich lady who gives alms to others like before." Linglong mocked her coldly.
However, Lin Jiuxi only sent out a few hundred doses of the antidote.
If it was the reasons just now, then it was clearly for your own benefit, and it was not worth getting so angry.
But there was no trace of tenderness on her delicate and pretty face, and her eyes were ice-cold.
"Aunt Linglong..." Lin Jiuxi had never thought about why Linglong would suddenly become so angry.
Linglong sneered and said, "If you insist on having your own way, then from now on we will pretend that we have never met. You go your way and I go mine. You don't need to come to me anymore if you encounter any problems."
This result surprised Lin Jiuxi.
Seeing that she couldn't convince him no matter what she did, Linglong said very firmly: "I won't allow you to give the antidote to them."
I couldn't bear to see so many people die in front of my eyes.
Lin Jiuxi asked tentatively: "But Aunt Linglong, why is this? There is no connection between the two."
Lin Jiuxi has made her decision, and she doesn't think this so-called fairness is more important than life.
"You have the antidote even if they don't surrender, so what's the point of their surrender? You will hurt their hearts." Linglong continued.
Lin Jiuxi shook his head, "But I still have to save them, they are human lives."
Linglong still refused: "It doesn't matter. Since they are all willing to submit to you, why should you care about their lives? Moreover, even the ruling city lord doesn't care about the lives of his soldiers, and the two Azure Dragon and White Tiger should have been his guards for more than ten or twenty years. If he doesn't care, what else do you care about? You feel sorry for them, but has anyone ever felt sorry for you?"
No one was crying, they were talking loudly and their words were full of joy.
Thousands of lives were lost in his hands. Lin Jiuxi couldn't even imagine what a huge sin that was.
She softened her heart, and on the last day, had someone pack all the antidotes in a car and prepare to take them to the military camp.
Qinzhou City is much more prosperous than Jizhou City, and the number of defenders in the city is also greater, nearly 5,000 people. Not all of these people took poison, but most of them ate in the military camp and were poisoned.
"If I don't follow, I will just die. If I become a rebel, my entire family might be implicated. I'd rather die than implicate my family." Most people think so too.
"When you started the army, you already had no way out. One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people. Haven't you thought it through? If you want to reach that position, you must step on the blood and corpses of countless people to get there. Do you know who you are pitying now? You are pitying your enemies. Their lives are lives, have you ever considered the lives of your soldiers? When the two armies fight, the more enemy soldiers you save, the more soldiers on your side will die. Don't you understand?" Linglong explained sternly. Lin Jiuxi nodded: "I understand what you said, I just..."
"But if I don't give the antidote to the remaining people, they will die. Aren't their lives important?" That's thousands of people.
The Taoyuan Gang members did not object, as they had similar ideas to Lin Jiuxi. They would threaten people if they could, but they did not want to kill so many people if they could not.
"I've made it clear to you. If you give them the medicine, we will end our relationship. You should think carefully about this."
"Aunt Linglong..." Lin Jiuxi looked at her and shed a tear.
Unexpectedly, Linglong told her coldly: "You can't just give the antidote to them. It's really unfair to the people who have surrendered to you."
"Aunt Linglong, I can't listen to you this time." Lin Jiuxi was also quite stubborn.
More people would rather die than follow Lin Jiuxi.
But more and more people died.
Gradually, their voices quieted down, some were whispering, and some were already sobbing in fear.
Lin Jiuxi finally couldn't help but shouted loudly: "As long as you are willing to submit to me, I have an antidote here. You will be fine after taking it."
But those people replied to her in unison: "Go to hell."
They still followed their inner convictions, they rejected Lin Jiuxi and rejected the temptation of life.
