I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 835 Hope

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Gongsun Yan is a criminal ordered by the court! Treat anyone who pleads for him as a crime!"

"Go away!"

"."

Half an hour later, Sishichu.

Although there was still an hour before noon, under the "escort" of thousands of forbidden troops, the prison car escorting Gongsun Yan had already left Longshou Mountain and headed towards Caishikou.

There is no doubt that the carriage and the imperial army encountered many obstacles as soon as they came out of the mountain.

Countless people crowded on both sides of the street, and the voices of "letting people go" became louder and louder. What's more, some even knelt in the middle of the road, making the escort team move very slowly.

Although they shouted that "begging for mercy for a criminal is a crime", of course, the heavily armed Forbidden Army will not really kill people to open the way.

And the more this is the case, the more "unscrupulous" the people will be. After all, the court dare not kill people, but Wei Changtian really dares to kill people.

Therefore, as more and more people "petitioned", after a street, the prison car finally reached the point where it was difficult to move.

"Da da da" the sound of horseshoes is noisy, and all kinds of shouts are crowded.

The scene became extremely chaotic for a while, and Wei Changtian, who saw all this behind a window on the second floor of a certain tea house on the street, showed a smile.

"Hmph, it's hard to say whether the prison car can reach Caishikou with this posture, but I'd like to see what Chu Xianping has behind him."

Looking at the chaotic street with a calm expression, Wei Changtian's tone was very relaxed.

Yang Liushi on the side gave him a blank look, and joked with a smile:

"Master, don't get carried away too early."

"Since Chu Xianping has pushed Gongsunyan out of Longshou Mountain, he will not give up easily. He will try again no matter what."

"Try? What else can he do?"

Wei Changtian shook his head nonchalantly: "Aside from killing people to open the way, I can't think of anything he can do."

"And if he really does that, he's already lost."

"It's hard to tell. Others may not be able to do anything about it, but Chu Xianping."

After a pause, Yang Liushi didn't continue talking about this issue, but suddenly asked after changing the subject: "Master, since Chu Xianping is leaving, why should he compare this truth with you?"

"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 accept his favor?"

The topic shifted to Chu Xianping, and Yang Liushi's doubts had actually been felt by Wei Changtian before.

really.

Chu Xianping said last night that no matter what the outcome of today is, he will immediately go after those Kuilong people.

Therefore, winning or losing this bet doesn't seem to make much sense.

Even if Chu Xianping wins, he can't control the big round, so he might as well give himself a favor.

But why is he still so serious?

"Maybe he just wants to see who is right and who is wrong between him and me."

Withdrawing his gaze, Wei Changtian stopped looking at the scene outside the window: "He still believes that the people in this world should understand what righteousness is like him."

"Really? Then he should be disappointed."

Yang Liushi smiled and blinked: "Looking at it now, most people are still selfish."

"Selfish. Well, not necessarily."

Sighing, Wei Changtian unexpectedly denied Yang Liushi's point of view.

This sentence "not necessarily" is obviously the opposite of what he did before, which naturally makes Yang Liushi very puzzled.

"Why do you say that, Mr. Xiang?"

I saw Yang Liushi pointed out the window, and asked suspiciously: "If these people are not selfish, why did they come here to block the prison car and plead for Gongsunyan?"

"After all, don't they value their own fate more than the righteousness of their family and country?"

"Fate is more important than righteousness, is this selfish?"

Looking at Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian smiled and asked back: "The so-called selfishness is nothing more than seeking profit."

"And since it's for profit, there must always be a comparison."

"If you think it's worth it, there's nothing to regret even if you risk your life."

"If you think it's not worth it, you won't give up even a penny."

"In the end, selfishness is just a question of whether it's worth it or not."

"These people just don't feel worth it, so they haven't done anything wrong."

"."

Selfish or not, just worth it or not.

Hearing Wei Changtian's words, Yang Liushi couldn't help being stunned.

Because according to this statement, there are no selfish people in the world, and there are no selfless people.

After all, there is no unified standard for such things as "whether it is worth it or not", and everyone has their own judgment.

so.

"Sir, but now that I'm here, there's one thing I can't figure out."

After pondering for a moment, Yang Liushi suddenly asked in a soft voice: "Before Fengyuan was besieged by a million-strong army, the people in the city defended it together with the defenders for a full month."

"We must know that the Xinfeng government had only been established for half a year at that time, and most of the people even felt that they were still Dafeng people and did not have much sense of belonging to the new dynasty."

"According to what you said, shouldn't the people of Xinfeng feel that it is worthless?"

"But why are they still willing to stick to the lonely city, even if they die, they have never been timid?"

Looking at Wei Changtian, Yang Liushi quickly expressed her doubts.

And this question can be said to hit the nail on the head, and the question is very practical.

Compared with the newly established Xinfeng, the Dahui, which has a history of thousands of years, has gone through vicissitudes. The people's "national identity" is undoubtedly stronger, and logically speaking, they should be more willing to sacrifice for the country.

But why are the people of Fengyuan City desperately resisting the invaders, while the people of Dahui are so "live"?

This obviously contradicts the statement of "whether it is worth it or not". If we have to explain it, is it because Xinfengren's "ideological awareness" is higher?

or.

"You forgot one thing."

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian calmly replied, "It's hope."

"hope."

Yang Liushi's eyes widened suddenly. Although Wei Changtian's answer was very concise, she still figured everything out in a flash.

"Although Fengyuan was in crisis at the time, there was still hope, so the people were willing to resist desperately"

"But now the people in Yongding City have no hope, so that's why."

Muttering to herself, Yang Liushi finally understood why Wei Changtian let the Dahui army in the city go away.

And the latter said softly at this time:

"That's it."

"If the Chengbei army did not flee, but put on a stance of steadfast defense, the people of Yongding would not be as good as they are now."

"But it's a pity that the city preparation army has long been out of Lu Yuanjin's command, and I have saved a way out, so they will naturally escape."

"And once they escape, the common people have no other choice but to plead for Gongsunyan."

"So now that the overall situation is settled, it's useless for Chu Xianping to do anything."

"Unless he can convince the people that they still have"

"boom!!!"

Suddenly, an earth-shattering loud noise came from the sky, drowning out Wei Changtian's unfinished words and the chaotic voices outside the window like rolling waves.

Frowning, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi looked at each other, then quickly walked to the window to look out.

The ground trembled, and the dragon's roar shook the sky.

I saw that the huge Longshou Mountain in the distance had been shrouded in a vast white mist at some point, and then a long rainbow flying across the sky soared into the sky.

The Changhong is like a golden waterfall flying straight down from Nine Heavens, and its momentum is so magnificent that it cannot be added.

Such visions are undoubtedly extremely shocking.

However, this is not the end.

Because just a moment later, a huge dragon soaring through the clouds rushed out of Changhong in the eyes of countless people in astonishment, and guarded the top of Longshou Mountain with an incomparably majestic spirit!

The dragon veins transform into form, and the dragon protects the country!
