Chapter 835 Hope
"Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!"
"Gongsun Yan is a criminal convicted by the imperial court! Anyone who pleads for him will be treated as guilty!"
"Get lost!"
“.”
Half an hour later, it was the beginning of the Si hour.
Although it was still a full hour before noon, under the "escort" of thousands of imperial guards, the prison car carrying Gongsun Yan had already driven out of Longshou Mountain and headed towards Caishikou.
There is no doubt that the carriage and the imperial guards encountered many obstacles as soon as they left the mountain.
Countless people crowded on both sides of the street, and the shouts of "release the prisoners" became louder and louder. Some people even knelt in the middle of the road, making the escort team move very slowly.
Although they said "Pleading for a murderer is considered a crime", the fully armed imperial guards would certainly not actually kill people to clear their way.
The more this happened, the more "unscrupulous" the people became. After all, the imperial court did not dare to kill people, but Wei Changtian really dared to kill people.
Therefore, as more and more people came to "petition", after moving through one street, the prison van finally reached a point where it could no longer move.
The sound of horse hooves was noisy and various shouts were heard everywhere.
The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic, but behind a window on the second floor of a teahouse on the street, Wei Changtian, who saw all this, smiled.
"Humph, at this rate, it's hard to say whether the prison van can even reach Caishikou. I want to see what else Chu Xianping has up his sleeve."
Looking at the chaotic streets with a calm expression, Wei Changtian's tone was very relaxed.
Yang Liushi on the side rolled her eyes at him and said jokingly, "Husband, don't get carried away too soon."
"Since Chu Xianping has taken Gongsun Yan out of Longshou Mountain, he will not give up easily. He must try again."
"Try? What else can he do?"
Wei Changtian shook his head nonchalantly: "Besides killing people to clear the way, I can't think of any other way he can do it."
"And if he really does that, he's already lost."
"It's hard to say. Others may not be able to do anything about it, but Chu Xianping."
After a pause, Yang Liushi did not continue to talk about this issue, but suddenly asked: "Husband, since Chu Xianping is about to leave, why is he still arguing with you about this?"
"Even if he wins in the end, Lu Yuanjin will definitely not be able to sit firmly on the throne. Why doesn't he just admit defeat and let you do him a favor?"
The topic shifted to Chu Xianping. Yang Liushi actually had the same doubts as Wei Changtian.
really.
Chu Xianping said last night that no matter what the outcome today was, he would immediately hunt down and kill those Kuilong men.
Therefore, winning or losing this bet does not seem to have much significance.
Even if Chu Xianping won, he wouldn't be able to control the outcome, so he might as well do himself a favor.
But why is he still so serious?
"Maybe he just wanted to see who was right and who was wrong between him and me."
Wei Changtian retracted his gaze and stopped looking at the scene outside the window: "He still believes that the people of this world should understand what righteousness is like him."
"Really? Then he should be disappointed."
Yang Liushi smiled and blinked: "From what I can see now, most people are still selfish."
"Selfish. Well, not necessarily."
With a sigh, Wei Changtian unexpectedly denied Yang Liushi's point of view.
This sentence "Not necessarily" is obviously contrary to his previous actions, which naturally made Yang Liushi very puzzled.
"Why do you say that, sir?"
Yang Liushi pointed out the window and asked in confusion, "If these people are not selfish, why did they come here to stop the prisoner car and plead for Gongsun Yan?"
"After all, don't they value their own lives more than the interests of their country?"
"Life is more important than righteousness. Is this selfish?"
Looking at Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian smiled and asked back: "So-called selfishness is nothing more than seeking profit."
"And since it's for profit, there has to be a comparison."
"If you think it's worth it, there's nothing to regret even if you sacrifice your life for it."
"If you don't think it's worth it, you won't be willing to spend a penny."
"In the final analysis, whether or not you are selfish is just a matter of whether or not it is worth it."
"These people just feel it's not worth it, so they haven't done anything wrong."
“.”
Whether it is selfish or not is just a matter of whether it is worth it.
Hearing Wei Changtian's words, Yang Liushi was stunned.
Because according to this statement, there are no selfish people or selfless people in the world.
After all, there is no unified standard for whether something is worth it or not, and everyone has their own judgment.
So. "Sir, there is one thing I cannot understand."
After a moment's silence, Yang Liushi suddenly asked softly, "Before this, Fengyuan was besieged by Qianhui's million-strong army, and the people in the city held out together with the defenders for a full month."
"You have to know that the Xinfeng Dynasty had only been established for half a year at that time, and most of the people even felt that they were still people of Dafeng, and did not have much sense of belonging to the Xin Dynasty."
"If what you said is true, shouldn't the people of Xinfeng feel that it's not worth it?"
"But why are they willing to defend the isolated city to the death, even if it means death?"
Looking at Wei Changtian, Yang Liushi quickly expressed her doubts.
This question can be said to be very to the point and very practical.
Compared with Xinfeng, which was established not long ago, Dahui, which has a history of thousands of years, has gone through many vicissitudes. The people's "sense of national identity" is undoubtedly stronger, and logically speaking, they should be more willing to sacrifice for the country.
But why could the people of Fengyuan City fight desperately to resist the invaders, while the Dahui people just "compromise"?
This obviously contradicts the statement of "Is it worth it?" If we must explain it, is it that the "ideological awareness" of the new Feng people is higher? Or... "You forgot one thing."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian replied calmly: "It's hope."
"hope."
Yang Liushi's eyes suddenly widened. Although Wei Changtian's answer was very concise, she understood everything in an instant.
"Although Fengyuan was in danger at the time, there was still hope, so the people were willing to fight to the death."
"But now the people in Yongding City have no hope, so this is the case."
Muttering to herself, Yang Liushi finally understood why Wei Changtian let the Dahui army in the city leave.
The latter also said softly at this time: "That's it."
“If the city guards had not fled, but instead put on a posture of defending to the death, the people of Yongding would surely not be in the same situation as they are now.”
"But unfortunately, the city defense army is no longer under Lu Yuanjin's command. In addition, I left them a way out, so they will naturally escape."
"Once they escaped, the people had no other choice but to plead for Gongsun Yan."
"So now the situation is settled, nothing Chu Xianping does will be of any use."
"Unless he can convince the people that they still have"
"boom!!!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the sky, like a rolling wave, drowning out Wei Changtian's unfinished words and the chaotic sounds outside the window.
With a frown, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi looked at each other, then quickly walked to the window and looked out.
The ground trembled and the dragon roared to the sky.
I saw that the huge Longshou Mountain in the distance had been shrouded in a vast white fog at some point, and then a long rainbow flew across the sky and rose into the sky.
The long rainbow was like a golden waterfall falling from the sky, its momentum was so magnificent that it was beyond description.
This kind of vision is undoubtedly extremely shocking.
But that’s not all.
Because just a moment later, a giant dragon soaring in the white clouds broke out of the rainbow in the astonished gazes of countless people, and hovered on the top of Longshou Mountain with an incomparable majestic spirit!
The dragon vein takes shape, the dragon protects the country! (End of this chapter)
