Wang Yixiuan and the others shifted their gazes to Zhou Qingyun at the same time. They also wanted to know what Zhou Qingyun was thinking. After all, they had been walking with this child for so long, and they didn't want the child to die here while saving his life. Even if they had some opinions about him before, they had been walking together for so long, so naturally they also had some concerns.
Zhou Qingyun watched the old man thinking about what to do. To be honest, he didn't know how to deal with this matter. It was not realistic to keep hiding here. His heartbeat had started to become abnormal in the past two days, especially when those officers came up, he was scared to death.
"Grandfather, there are two options now. One is for you to hand me over to Liu Yong and the others. They will then stop bothering you. I might also be unable to withstand the punishment and turn you over. You know, I've never suffered any hardship, nor have I received any training, so I definitely can't handle it.
The second option is to contact the City Lord of Jianmen Pass. Although he is just a weak scholar, he is upright and responsible, and is a good person to rely on. After I enter the city, it depends on how long the City Lord can protect me.
However, no matter how upright and responsible he was, he could not withstand the conspiracy and trickery of those people. If his great-grandfather had entrusted him to the city lord of Jianmen Pass, that would probably be his death. He did not resent his great-grandfather's family. After all, for them, this was already their greatest effort. His great-grandfather's family was now just an ordinary family. They had been able to protect him for so long, which was already a great help for him to survive.
Wang Yizu frowned in disapproval. Even though they did not pass the imperial examinations, they had read all the books they should have read, and naturally knew the principles they should know. They knew what was right and wrong.
"This isn't right. If we hand Yun'er over to the City Lord of Jianmen Pass, what's the difference between that and handing him over to Liu Yong? It's just Yun'er moving from the shadows to the light. There's no good ending for him. Once he enters Jianmen Pass, it's the same as handing him over directly to Liu Yong. According to our investigation down the mountain, Liu Yong is a vindictive man. We blew up his people, so he's definitely not going to have a good ending. So why bother going there to die?"
Wang Yixian also nodded. It was true that they could not just walk into the trap. A child of this age was just the age for those people to surround and kill him. If he appeared in Jianmen Pass or its surroundings, Liu Yong would know his whereabouts in just a cup of tea. How could it be easy to hand Zhou Qingyun over to the city lord of Jianmen Pass?
Wang Shiyu silently stuffed a piece of ice into her mouth. She felt that she was about to be furious and needed a piece of ice to calm down her inner anger. Who could have thought that these people would dare to blatantly hunt down the prince of the royal family after such small favors?
