Chapter 820 People's Hope
In this way, Gongsun Yan was brought to Longshou Mountain by Chu Xianping.
After a stick of incense, Yang Liushi left the courtyard where Lu Yuanjin was hiding alone, and actually saved the latter's life.
As for the bet between Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping, only the two of them know about it.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, this wave was undoubtedly Chu Xianping's "superior skills".
The plan was to capture Gongsun Yan alive and thwart Wei Changtian's conspiracy. When the people heard about this, they were all overjoyed, feeling that they had finally gotten rid of their anger.
But at the same time, the sentence "If he dies, I will bury the whole city with him" also planted a seed of uneasiness in everyone's heart.
Ten days later, when an army of 200,000 has surrounded Yongding City, the seed will break through the ground and grow into a big tree called "fear".
Around noon, Wei Changtian returned to Zhuwu in a swaggering manner by car.
There are still ten days left until the agreed time, and Gongsun Yan is with Chu Xianping, so he should be relatively "free" during this period.
"Prince Wei"
In the front hall of the inn, Qin He, who was sitting restlessly, saw him coming back. She immediately stood up as if frightened and asked stutteringly: "Have you, have you had lunch?"
"No."
Wei Changtian shook his head calmly and glanced at the courtyard where he lived: "Liu Shi hasn't come back yet?"
"My Lord, the Madam left an hour ago."
Qin He immediately answered truthfully: "He hasn't come back yet."
"oh."
Wei Changtian retracted his gaze and stared at Qin He with a half-smile: "Do you know who I'm talking about?"
"I"
Her body trembled, her eyes widened suddenly, and a trace of panic appeared on Qin He's face in an instant.
Obviously, she didn't realize until now that Wei Changtian was trying to trick her.
After all, the latter had never mentioned Yang Liushi's name before. "Sir, I..."
Qin He opened his mouth tremblingly, wanting to explain something.
However, Wei Changtian waved his hand and interrupted, "Alright, it doesn't matter if you guessed it. Anyway, almost everyone in Yongding City knows who I am now."
“.”
Gently pinching the corner of her clothes, Qin He lowered her head, not knowing how to respond, so she just stood there without saying anything.
She was no longer panicked at this time, but she just seemed to not know what to say.
When Wei Changtian saw her like this, he couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Aren't you afraid?"
".Not afraid."
"Why? Don't you Dahui people call me the Living Yama?"
"this."
Qin He raised her head slightly, looked at Wei Changtian and answered softly: "Because I always think that you are a good person."
"Good man?"
Wei Changtian was stunned, as if he was amused: "Hahaha, you are the first one to say that I am a good person."
"What I said is true."
Qin He blushed slightly, and she explained in a low voice, a little embarrassed: "The young master and I have no relationship, but he was willing to help Chu An out of righteousness before. This matter..."
“I just did this casually.”
Suddenly, the smile on Wei Changtian's face disappeared, and he even interrupted indifferently, "You don't have to take it to heart."
“.”
With her mouth wide open, Qin He looked at Wei Changtian, whose appearance had suddenly changed. She didn't know what she had said wrong and stood there in a daze for a moment.
The former did not continue chatting with her. He just left a sentence "Prepare lunch" and walked out of the front hall.
"Yes, sir."
The response came a little late, and when Qin He came to her senses, Wei Changtian had already walked several steps away.
Looking at the back, she pursed her lips in confusion, then turned around silently and told the cook to cook.
"The prince has been captured, so the young master must be in a bad mood."
“.”
Leave the front hall and return to the courtyard.
Yang Liushi hasn't come back yet, so now only Li Zimu is in the yard.
"Sir, is Gongsun Yan in trouble?"
Seeing Wei Changtian through the window, the latter immediately came out from the house and asked anxiously: "Is Lü Yuanjin dead?"
"Gongsun Yan is now in Chu Xianping's hands."
Wei Changtian calmly replied: "I released Lü Yuanjin."
"Ah? Released?"
Li Zimu's eyes suddenly widened: "So he has been caught? Why let him go?"
"Because I made a bet with Chu Xianping about him."
Walking into the house and sitting down at the table, Wei Changtian told Li Zimu what happened this morning while drinking tea.
The latter's expression became very complicated after hearing this.
"Sir, you don't have to decide the outcome of this bet."
After a moment of silence, she said softly, "The situation is so favorable to us now. As long as we can kill Lu Yuanjin, it will be a matter of time before Dahui is destroyed. Why should we give Chu Xianping a chance?"
"I know, but I don't want to take too long."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Besides, I don't think I will lose this bet."
"But Chu Xianping also thinks so."
Li Zimu asked seriously, "Sir, how can you be sure that you are right?"
"Well, let me ask you, how many kind-hearted and righteous people have there been throughout history?"
Wei Changtian did not directly answer Li Zimu's question, but raised his head and asked, "How many names can you name?"
"Well, Nie Rang, Lu Pei, Fang Ru. I haven't read much, but I have heard of dozens of them since I was a child."
Li Zimu answered with a little doubt, and he was talking about all the famous saints and righteous men in Daning's history.
After listening to this, Wei Changtian just nodded and continued to ask: "Then do you know why these people can be remembered for thousands of years?"
"Of course it was because he had a sense of justice in his heart, which he never changed until his death."
Suddenly, Li Zimu seemed to understand something: "Sir, what do you mean?"
"That's right."
Wei Changtian put down his teacup and slowly stood up: "Why is it that Daning has thousands of years of history, but there are only a few dozen or a few hundred heroes who can be remembered?"
"It's because most people can't do it like them."
"To put it bluntly, there are more ordinary people in this world who are afraid of death and selfish."
"You expect these people to die for the greater good?"
"Haha, actually what Chu Xianping said is true."
“The people are indeed the foundation of the country.”
"It's just that the people want a peaceful country, not a chaotic country."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
".Understood."
His fingers trembled, Li Zimu nodded slightly, and his eyes became a little complicated when he looked at Wei Changtian again.
Although she is well versed in human nature and has some good strategies.
But when it comes to such big "values", she, who is still young, does not see as clearly as Wei Changtian.
"Sir, what shall we do next?"
After a long silence, she asked in a low voice, "Should we have someone create some momentum in the city?"
"Need not."
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "The army is on the way, just wait."
"yes"
Li Zimu took a deep breath and stopped talking. Instead, he followed Wei Changtian's gaze and looked out the window.
The wind blew through the bamboo forest, creating waves.
The sound of silver bells tinkling faintly could be heard among the dense branches and leaves at the top of the green bamboo. When I looked closely, I realized that it was a small bird with white feathers and a yellow beak. Because it was standing high, it seemed to be looking down at this thousand-year-old ancient city from a compassionate perspective.
