I'm the villain in the book

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

"Gongsun Yan is a criminal ordered by the court! Those who plead for him are regarded as a crime!"

"Go away!"

"."

After half an hour, it was the beginning of time.

Although there was still an entire hour before noon, under the "escort" of thousands of imperial troops, the prisoner car that escorted Gongsun Yan had already left Longshou Mountain and headed for Caishikou.

There is no doubt that the carriage and the Imperial Army were hindered as soon as they came out of the mountain.

Countless people crowded on both sides of the street, and the cries of "release people" rose from wave to wave, and some even knelt in the middle of the road, causing the escort team to move very slowly.

Although he shouted, "Praying for mercy for one's life is regarded as a crime", of course, the heavily armed guards would not really open the way for killing people.

And the more like this, the more "unscrupulous" the people are. After all, the imperial court did not dare to kill, but Wei Changtian really dared to kill.

Therefore, as the number of "petitioners" increased, the prison car finally reached the point where it was impossible to move even an inch after walking out of the street.

The hooves of "da da da" were noisy, and all kinds of shouts were crowded.

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

"Hmph, it's hard to say whether the prisoner car can reach Caishikou according to this posture, but I want to see what else Chu Xianping has to do."

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

Yang Liushi, who was beside him, gave him a blank look and joked with a smile:
"Xianggong, don't get carried away too soon."

"Since Chu Xianping has pushed Gongsunyan out of Longshou Mountain, he naturally won't give up easily, so he has to try again."

"Try? What else could he do?"

Wei Changtian shook his head nonchalantly: "I can't think of anything he can do other than killing people and opening the way."

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

"It's impossible to say, others may not be able to do it, but Chu Xianping."

After a pause, Yang Liushi didn't continue to talk about this question, but suddenly asked: "Xianggong, since Chu Xianping is going to leave, why do you want to be honest with you?"

"Even if he wins in the end, Lu Yuanjin will definitely not be able to sit on the throne. Why doesn't he just admit defeat and let you accept your favor?"

The topic shifted to Chu Xianping. In fact, Wei Changtian also had Yang Liushi's doubts.

indeed.

Chu Xianping said last night that no matter what happened today, he would immediately hunt down those Kuilong people.

Therefore, winning or losing this bet seems to be of little significance.

Even if Chu Xianping won, he couldn't control the big return, so he might as well give himself a favor.

But why is he so serious?

"Maybe he just wanted to see who was right and who was wrong between him and me."

Looking back, Wei Changtian stopped looking at the scene outside the window: "He still believes that people in this world should know 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. Alas, not necessarily."

With a sigh, Wei Changtian unexpectedly denied Yang Liushi's point of view.

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

"Why did the lord say that?"

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

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

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

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

"And since it's a 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 don't think it's worth it, you'll be reluctant to give up a penny."

"At the end of the day, being selfish or not is really just a matter of whether it's worth it or not."

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

"."

Selfish or not, it's just worth it.

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

Because according to this saying, there are no selfish people and no selfless people in that day.

After all, there is no uniform standard for "is it worth it", and everyone has their own judgment.

so.
"Xianggong, but there is one thing that the slave family can't understand."

After pondering for a moment, Yang Liushi suddenly asked in a soft voice, "Before Fengyuan was forced back to besiege the city by a million troops, the people in the city and the defenders stood guard for a full month."

"You must know that it was only half a year before the new dynasty established the dynasty, and most of the people even felt that they were still from the great dynasty, and they didn't have much sense of belonging to the new dynasty."

"If it's according to what you said, shouldn't the newly appointed people feel that it is not worth it?"

"But why are they still willing to defend the lonely city, even if they die, they are not afraid?"

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

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

Compared with the newly established Xinfeng, the thousand-year-old Dahui has gone through vicissitudes, and 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 are the people of Fengyuan City able to resist the invaders desperately, while the Dahui people are so "stubborn"?

This obviously contradicts the statement of "is it worth it". If it has to be explained, could it be that Xinfengren's "ideological awareness" 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 still figured out everything in an instant.

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

"But now the people in Yongding City have no hope, that's why they are like this."

Muttering to himself, Yang Liushi finally understood why Wei Changtian wanted to let the Dahui army in the city leave.

And the latter also said softly at this time:
"That's it."

"If the city prepares the army not to flee, but instead assumes a posture of defending, the people of Yongding will not be as good as they are now."

"But it's a pity that the Chengbei Army has long since been dispatched by Lu Yuanjin. Plus, I have given a way to survive, so they will naturally flee."

"And as soon as they escape, the people have no other way to go except to plead for Gongsun Yan."

"So now that the overall situation has been decided, it is 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, like a rolling wave, drowning Wei Changtian's unfinished words and the chaotic voices 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's roar shook the sky.

I saw that the huge Longshou Mountain in the distance had been shrouded in a vast white fog, and then a long rainbow flying across the sky rose into the sky.

That Changhong was like a golden waterfall that flew straight down and fell from the nine heavens.

Such visions are undoubtedly shocking.

But it's not over yet.

Because just a moment later, a giant dragon soaring Suyun rushed out of Changhong under the astonished eyes of countless people, and guarded the top of Longshou Mountain with an incomparably majestic aura!

The dragon vein takes shape, the dragon protects the country!
