Chapter 834 Not Enough
In this way, Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping reached a "gentleman's agreement".
Neither of them said much, but Wei Changtian asked one more question at the end.
"Brother Chu, do you want to talk to Li Zimu alone?"
“.”
Looking at the figure not far away, Chu Xianping shook his head and answered very concisely.
"No."
".Well, take care of yourself."
Standing up, Wei Changtian left his last words and walked towards Li Zimu.
The two seemed to say a few words, and then gradually walked away under Chu Xianping's gaze, until they completely disappeared into the night and could no longer be seen.
"Sir, Chu should defeat him first."
Sitting in the carriage back to Zhuwu, Li Zimu, who had made a "wasted trip" tonight, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked in a low voice: "What exactly is he going to do?"
"You don't need to know this."
Wei Changtian glanced at her and said, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with you."
"Yes, I understand."
Li Zimu lowered his head and spoke in a light tone.
Wei Changtian thought for a moment and added, "But it's not as dangerous as he said. He should be fine."
“.”
Li Zimu slowly raised his head with a complicated look in his eyes.
She seemed to want to say something but couldn't, so she just nodded slightly in the end.
"I understand."
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Wei Changtian got up very early.
Although Gongsun Yan was to be executed at noon, he still got up early to take a look at the situation in Yongding City.
And the facts did not disappoint him.
After a night of fermentation, the news that "if the rebel king dies, the whole city will be buried with him" has spread. Since midnight, many people have wanted to flee the city with their families.
But where could they go?
Since Wei Changtian had issued the order yesterday, no matter how much the common people begged, none of them could leave the city.
On the contrary, many defenders in the city left overnight.
Such a scene is actually quite ridiculous.
When the enemy surrounded the city, the country's army did not think about defending the city and resisting, but ran faster than anyone else. No one was a fool. When the people saw that there was no longer a large number of soldiers on the city wall, they already had an idea of what might happen next.
But they could do nothing except curse a few times.
The gap in military strength between ordinary people and practitioners made it impossible for them to resist, let alone think about forcing their way out of the city.
After all, those who "dared" to try have now become corpses on the ground.
Therefore, there are only two paths left for the millions of people in the city.
1. Firmly support Lu Yuanjin and the Dahui court, hoping that they can find a way to stop the 200,000 troops outside the city.
Second, we are all willing to let Gongsun Yan go.
Choosing one means entrusting one's life to Lu Yuanjin, which can be said to be "living and dying with the country."
Choosing the second option, even though it would be like slapping yourself in the face, at least you can survive.
This multiple-choice question may seem confusing at first glance, but it is not difficult for most ordinary people to choose. "Fellow villagers, the anti-king cannot die!"
"That Wei Yanluo even sent a large army! He is not trying to scare us!"
"Fuck! Those bastards in the city defense army! I watched them leave the city last night! The army outside the city didn't try to stop them at all!"
"So it seems that someone in the army is colluding with the enemy country!"
"Do I even need to ask this?! This must be the case! Otherwise, why wouldn't they dare to fart when Wei Yanluo has lived in the city for so long?!"
"So what should we do?"
"Humph! The court is unjust to us, why should we be loyal? In my opinion, we should go to the city to plead for Gongsun Yan!"
"Yes! The imperial court killed him, so why should we be buried with him?! Our lives are not lives anymore?"
"That makes sense!"
"Go! Let's all go!"
“.”
Teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys.
After realizing that it was impossible to leave the city, the above arguments were heard everywhere in Yongding City.
Obviously, people need to find a reason for themselves when they do something "disgraceful".
The escape of the city defense army became the most suitable excuse.
All the soldiers have fled, why should we stay and wait to die?
My life is my own. No matter what kind of family, country or justice is, it cannot take my life!
With this idea in mind, more and more people began to gather at Caishikou, and soon they filled the surrounding streets.
It was still early in the afternoon, so Gongsun Yan had not been escorted here yet, and there wasn't even an official accompanying him.
Unable to find an outlet for venting their grievances, the people went to the government office again and beat the drums at the door to protest their grievances.
But at this time, no one in the yamen dared to come forward, and even though the drums were beaten, the door did not open.
This move undoubtedly added to the anger of the people.
Finally, everyone decided to go directly to Longshou Mountain in a mighty manner, and knelt outside the palace gates and started howling like ghosts and wolves.
From hundreds of people, to thousands, to tens of thousands, and then to more.
Countless people knelt at the foot of the mountain, and even ended up "surrounding" the huge Longshou Mountain.
Their demands were simple, which was to release Gongsun Yan immediately and then have "peace talks" with Wei Changtian.
It is called peace talks, but everyone knows that it is actually surrender.
Faced with enemies who had killed their emperor, princes, and princes one after another, the people of Dahui, at least the people of Yongding City, have made their choice.
When Lu Yuanjin on Longshou Mountain saw all this, one can easily imagine how he felt.
"Troublemakers!!"
"This group of unruly people is simply unreasonable!!"
"Wei Changtian wants to kill them! Instead of resisting, they come here to plead for the thief! This is ridiculous!"
"I never thought that my Lu family would raise such a group of ungrateful wolves!"
"sad!"
“How pathetic!!”
“.”
Hysterical roars resounded throughout the hall, and the slightly confusing content showed how angry Lu Yuanjin was at the moment.
His feelings are understandable.
But he may have overlooked one thing.
That is the reason why the people came to Longshou Mountain to plead for Gongsun Yan instead of running to fight with Wei Changtian. In fact, it was because they subconsciously believed that Lu Yuanjin was weaker than Wei Changtian.
Of course, it is normal for Lu Yuanjin to ignore this reason. After all, he has basically lost the ability to think calmly.
However, Chu Xianping on the side remained very calm.
He was not shaken by the people living at the foot of the mountain, or perhaps this degree was not enough.
At least not enough for him to admit that he lost. "Your Highness, shut up."
Suddenly, Chu Xianping looked at Lu Yuanjin coldly, and his words stopped the latter's roar abruptly.
Without paying any attention to the red-faced Dahui prince, Chu Xianping paused for a moment and then said to someone beside him, "It's almost time."
"Take Gongsun Yan down the mountain."
