Chapter 583 Words
People tend to like to bully the weak and fear the strong.
When Guan Lao San put on a ferocious look, he immediately scared the old people in the village who rushed over to scold them!
Bad guys are always more awe-inspiring than good guys.
Guan Lao San has always been a relatively easy-going person in Lingshui Village. Over the years, Guan Lao San has never had a quarrel with anyone and has always been well-behaved in everything he does.
This is also the reason why these people dared to come out and accuse Guan Lao San.
But when Guan Lao San showed his brutal side, these people retreated.
We cannot say that these people are not just, we can only say that they are cowardly.
But many times, it is cowardice that leads to a series of tragedies.
Seeing that he had silenced those who were yelling at him with just a simple threat, Guan Laosan felt that he understood something.
"Sister-in-law Xu, whether these people live or die depends on your decision!"
Guan Lao San scared away the elders of the clan and turned to look at Old Lady Xu. He wanted to see what the Xu family would do when he pointed the butcher knife at Guan Lao Qi and the others.
"Guan Lao San, you beast!"
When Guan Laoqi's wife heard Guan Laosan's threats to Old Lady Xu, she was so angry that she cursed out loud.
"Sister-in-law, I am a beast, but your seventh brother and I have the same ancestor!"
Guan Laosan was not at all angered by the scolding of Guan Laoqi's wife. Now he felt that everything was under his control.
Old Madam Xu sighed, looked at Guan Lao San, and said, "Guan Lao San, there's no need to make things so complicated."
"It's not difficult for our family to go to the capital."
"Just, there is a question, have you considered it?"
"You have captured us now, but I think both the Queen Mother and the Emperor still rely on the men in our family to help them fight."
"Tell me, under such circumstances, what will be your final outcome?"
Old Madam Xu smiled faintly, "According to my guess, His Majesty, in order to appease us, will probably choose to use your head to calm the resentment in our hearts."
"Do you think what I said makes sense?"
When Old Lady Xu said this, Guan Lao San's face froze.
Guan Laowu and others beside him also changed their expressions.
They really wanted to refute what Old Lady Xu said, but the current situation in the world really needed generals who could lead troops to fight.
Once upon a time, there was a Prince of Yan by the emperor's side.
But now, the Prince of Yan was accused of treason. In other words, it was impossible for the Prince of Yan to help the emperor fight the war. Who else could the emperor use?
Although Guan Laosan and Guan Laowu are uneducated farmers, they know very well that the emperor has no one available.
Otherwise, the emperor who led the army in person, with the elite troops from the north and south camps, would have already arrived at Jingbian City in Qifeng Prefecture and would have already sent troops to fight against the northern barbarians who were wreaking havoc in Longxi Prefecture.
If there is no one available, then the emperor will definitely compromise.
In order to distance themselves from the matter, they even resorted to direct violence against them!
To the emperor, people like them are no different from ants.
"Third brother, what should we do?"
Guan Laowu panicked and looked anxiously at Guan Laosan. The other members of the Guan family who had kidnapped Guan Laoqi and the Yue family members were also looking at Guan Laosan, waiting for him to tell them the whole story.
How could Guan Lao San say anything?
He could only focus his gaze on Nanny Yang in front of him.
He did all these things because of the promise made to him by Madam Yang. And it was precisely because of Madam Yang's promise that he was able to trick the villagers into boarding the ship.
But now, he had to admit that Mrs. Xu's analysis was very reliable.
In comparison, the big picture that Nanny Yang painted for him was a little less realistic.
But if everything Yang Ma promised could not happen, and if he even lost his life, then what was he really trying to achieve by doing all this? Was he hoping to die early and be reborn soon?
"What are you looking at me for?"
Nanny Yang noticed Guan Lao San's gaze and was furious. Although she had long thought that Guan Lao San might be unreliable, she had never dreamed that Guan Lao San's will was so unstable. He was shaken by just a casual remark from Old Lady Xu.
Of course, the possibility that Old Lady Xu mentioned does exist.
The reason why she wanted to find someone to cooperate with instead of mobilizing Nightingale's people to do this was because there were too many uncertainties in this matter.
If Nightingale was the only one involved in this matter, then the Queen Mother would certainly protect her and even reward her heavily in order to appease Nightingale's hearts.
All of this follows an old saying: a horse's bones are worth a fortune.
"Madam Yang, from the very beginning, you knew that I might not end up well, right?"
Since Guan Lao San has ambition, he is naturally not a stupid person. At the beginning, he was just blinded by the big cake painted by Yang Ma.
As the saying goes, one's heart is blinded by greed.
But now that Old Lady Xu had revealed the key, how could Guan Lao San not understand that in Nanny Yang's heart, he was probably just a chess piece that could be discarded at any time.
The truth is really cruel!
"Are you stupid?"
"This is clearly her strategy to sow discord!"
Even if all this is true, as long as it does not become a reality, Nanny Yang can deny it.
I don't admit something that didn't happen. What can you do to me?
"She was just saying a possibility!"
"What is possible may not necessarily be true!"
"Also, it is a fact that Wucheng Hou Xu Huaiyi commands his own troops."
"Neither the Empress Dowager nor His Majesty would allow such a thing to happen. And if the Emperor and the Empress Dowager abandon us, as the heroes who saved the day, how could anyone be so loyal to the court and the Tang Dynasty in the future?"
"So, Guan Lao San, I think you are just stupid!"
After hearing what Nanny Yang said, Guan Lao San hesitated again, not knowing how to choose.
He wants to be successful and become a leader.
But what if he made a wrong bet?
"Guan Lao San, you've already done this much. Don't you think it's a little late to stop now?"
"A real man should have the courage to move forward!"
"If you're still so hesitant, I think you should just dig a hole and bury yourself!"
Nanny Yang is the one who really doesn't want to give up halfway. Seeing that Guan Lao San might turn against her at the last minute, she must try every possible means to save the situation.
Otherwise, if she lost the initiative, her life would definitely be in danger!
"Old Five, what do you think?"
Although Guan Lao San was despised by Nanny Yang, he did not get angry. Instead, he looked at Guan Lao Wu and asked him what he thought about the matter.
"Third brother, I, don't know!"
Guan Laowu's head shook like a rattle.
