Chapter 22 God redresses his grievances
Lu Wanyin had no intention of attacking innocent civilians, so she only ordered the crows to circle outside the protective circle of her personal guards.
An excited male voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"The crows didn't hurt anyone! They were protecting General Xie!"
He repeated it over and over again, and soon more people followed suit and shouted.
"The crows didn't hurt anyone! They were protecting General Xie!"
"The crows didn't hurt anyone! They were protecting General Xie!"
"The crows didn't hurt anyone! They were protecting General Xie!"
On the streets leaving Beijing, countless different voices came from all directions, but all spoke the same message.
All living beings are in agreement.
It seems like a will from God.
Everyone stopped and looked in the direction of the crows.
Those dark crows surrounded Xie Jingci and others, and hundreds of extremely fierce and majestic crows were flying in the air, staring at the surroundings with a fierce look.
Maybe if anyone dares to throw dirty things in that direction again, they will pick that person up and kill him.
The crowd wondered whether the crow would do this, but none of them dared to confirm it.
At this moment, a male voice was passionate and loud.
"Five years ago, General Xie first entered the battlefield. He single-handedly charged into the enemy camp, beheaded the enemy general, and captured a city that our army had been unable to capture for three months!"
"A month later, General Xie led a hundred men into the border town, which was about to be conquered, but he delayed sending reinforcements and providing food and fodder."
"General Xie is a skilled soldier. It would have been easy for him to escape unscathed, but he couldn't bear to leave behind the thousands of elderly, weak, and sick people in the border town, and insisted on staying to fight the enemy to the death!"
"When they ran out of ammunition and food, it was General Xie who, with his extraordinary strategy, led only a few hundred soldiers and hundreds of civilians to resist tens of thousands of enemy troops. He held out for a full half month before reinforcements arrived!"
"But General Xie is seriously injured and his life is hanging by a thread!"
"Despite this, only three months later, General Xie's injuries hadn't healed yet, but he was ordered to march north again to engage in direct combat with the most valiant Turkic leader."
"That battle lasted three days and three nights, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. General Xie was shot in the heart and nearly died."
"Have you all forgotten?"
…
Counting each event one by one, all of Xie Jingci's past experiences turned into a picture scroll, slowly unfolding before the people.
Only then did they realize that Xie Jingci was also a mortal.
But he was like meat on a chopping board, chopped by thousands of knives and shot by countless arrows, and was a frequent visitor to the gates of hell.
But he was like a fool who never learned his lesson. No matter how badly injured he was, he would rush to the front without hesitation.
The crows gradually dispersed around, and Lu Wanyin said dully: "Get out of the way."
Xuan Qi and other personal guards also responded.
The people who were looking in this direction could finally see their God of War.
The god of war who should have been mighty, unyielding, resolute and brave was now lying on a stretcher, his clothes covered in black blood.
The rags tied around his wrists and ankles were enough to let people know what had happened to him.
"General Xie loves his people like his own children, and the people along the border all praise him endlessly. Now that he has been convicted and exiled, he has a flock of crows protecting him. It seems the heavens are redressing his injustice!"
"Yes! Huo Kaicheng, who was killed by the crow, had once troubled the Xie family. God must have been fed up with it and sent him down!"
"Also, recently countless corrupt officials' homes have been ransacked overnight. This must be God's will!"
…
Just at this moment, a nimble eagle roared and swooped down towards the crowd with invincible momentum.
Before anyone could react, it lifted Lin Wenbin high into the sky and opened its huge beak.
With a shrill scream, Lin Wenbin fell heavily to the ground and turned into a pulp.
Mrs. Dong and her two daughters were the first to recognize him and fainted from fright.
The other members of the Xie family were also terrified.
There was always someone in the crowd who knew Lin Wenbin, and someone immediately explained that he had accused Xie Jingci of plotting rebellion a few days ago.
This incident made everyone more determined in their thoughts.
Huo Kaicheng, who disrespected the Xie family, was killed by a crow, and Lin Wenbin, who framed Xie Jingci, was also dropped to death by an eagle.
If this doesn't prove that God protects Xie Jingci, how can we prove that God protects Xie Jingci?
The people of Dasheng believe in Buddhism and respect the will of heaven.
God made the decision for Xie Jingci. Regardless of whether his rebellion was true or false, they all believed him.
So, the people stood in front of the Yulin Guards and refused to let them escort Xie Jingci and others to exile.
Feng Ji was also very nervous and immediately sent someone back to the palace to ask the emperor's opinion.
The Xie family was frightened by Lin Wenbin who fell into the mud, especially the old lady, whose eyes went dark and she almost couldn't breathe.
Lu Wanyin had no hope for the cruel and merciless emperor.
She leaned over to Xie Jingci and sighed, "The emperor set up this trap so suddenly, but the general still managed to keep this trick up his sleeve. This shows that he is on guard against thieves for a thousand days. It is truly admirable."
When Lu Wanyin first heard someone in the crowd recounting Xie Jingci's achievements, she was deeply moved.
But the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong——
This person knew Xie Jingci's past too well, as if he had personally experienced those bloody battles.
Who else could know this clearly except those around Xie Jingci?
After the emperor tricked Xie Jingci into the palace, he sent the Yulin Guards to surround the Xie family.
Judging from Huo Kaicheng's reaction that day, no one should be able to sneak out.
Therefore, the person who is guiding public opinion outside this time may have been placed in secret places in the capital long ago to prevent the emperor from taking action.
Xie Jingci was able to make such preparations, which shows that he is very cunning.
Moreover, being guarded by crows is something that is impossible for others.
The fact that these people were able to use this opportunity in a timely and clever manner to reverse public opinion is enough to prove their prudence and strategic thinking.
The fact that such people are willing to submit to Xie Jingci also means that Xie Jingci is more outstanding than them.
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingci withdrew his gaze from the orderly flock of crows.
His eyes revealed a look of shock: "Not as great as Madam's magical powers."
Spiritual water that can instantly heal wounds, inexhaustible food, and animals that obey her commands...
How many unknown magical things does she have?
Invincible, therefore fearless.
Lu Wanyin was not worried about others discovering her secret. She smiled brightly and said, "Have you thought about what you want to do in the future? I think you are a good person. If your ideas coincide with mine, I don't mind helping you."
do what
Xie Jingci felt a dull pain in his heart.
In the past five years, he has been wholeheartedly protecting the Da Sheng Dynasty, risking his life to preserve Da Sheng's territory and protect the peace of the people.
But what he got in return was having his tendons in his hands and feet cut and being framed as a traitor.
ridiculous!
It seems that the only way for him now is to rebel.
After waiting for a long time without getting a reply, Lu Wanyin did not urge anyone.
Anyone who has pledged his life for five years and yet has such an end would be heartbroken.
But even if you have made a choice rationally, you cannot avoid hesitation and confusion.
After all, how could the faith of so many years collapse overnight?
