I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 838
My son is so young, the women only want him to live.

When the woman named Zhang Zhen knelt in front of Lu Yuanjin and uttered these words with tears streaming down her face, the chaotic voices around seemed to gradually become quieter.

Many people suddenly stopped and looked over in a daze.

The eyes of Wei Changtian and Lu Yuanjin also froze slightly.

Obviously, it must have taken a lot of courage for this woman to say those words.

She should have expected her end, but she did it anyway.

The reasons for this are not complicated.

Because she is a mother, she doesn't want to see her infant child die like this.

so.
"enough!"

Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted the woman's entreaties.

Lu Yuanjin, who recovered from his astonishment, flicked his sleeves violently, and growled in an extremely cold voice:

"Don't forget! You are a citizen of Dahui!"

"You have to be more clear! It's not me who wants to kill you! It's him!"

Pointing at Wei Changtian who was facing him, Lu Yuanjin's face flushed red, and he could see that he was very angry at the woman's behavior.

"He was the one who killed the father! He was the one who killed the second brother! He was the one who ordered the army to besiege the city! He was the one who threatened to massacre the city!!"

"He is the one who wants to kill you! And you, as Dahui citizens, not only did not rise up to resist! Instead, you helped the evildoers! You want me to admit defeat to him?!"

"ridiculous!"

"Hahaha! It's really ridiculous!!"

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the two dragons faced each other in the clear sky.

Lu Yuanjin's angry laughter spread far and wide, causing most of the people to bow their heads in silence.

Because what Lu Yuanjin said was not unreasonable.

Indeed, it was Wei Changtian who wanted to kill, not Lu Yuanjin, let alone Da Hui.

What's more, Wei Changtian had already killed Lu Hongji and an unknown number of Dahui soldiers before, and for the Dahui people, they should have been enemies of life and death.

So, facing an enemy who wants to kill him, should he "die standing up" or "live on his knees"?
Perhaps everyone will have their own choice on this question.

And now it is obvious that most Yongding people have chosen the latter.
"Elder, eldest prince, the daughter of the people just wants to live, just wants my child to be alive"

There were more tears gushing from the corners of her eyes, and the woman trembled and wanted to say something.

But before she could finish speaking, Lu Yuanjin interrupted her sharply again:

"To shut up!"

"Let me ask you! Are you a secret agent sent by the thieves to deceive the public?!"

"what!"

Hearing Lu Yuanjin's words, the woman's eyes widened for a moment, and she hurriedly shook her head in denial while holding her swaddling clothes: "Minnv are not craftsmen! Minnv are just..."

"Then you think I'm bound to lose?"

His tone became icy cold, Lu Yuanjin suddenly took a step closer, and looked at the woman at his feet with cold eyes: "You think I have no chance of winning against Wei Changtian, so I begged for Gongsunyan to save my life."

"Say! Yes or no?!"

"."

Either you are a spy sent by Wei Changtian to confuse people's hearts, or you have decided that I am not Wei Changtian's opponent.

Although Lu Yuanjin's expression at this time was a bit hideous, his logic was correct.

Or from his perspective, he can only see these two possibilities.

But Lu Yuanjin is a high-ranking prince after all, so he may never understand the thoughts of these most ordinary people.

"Elder, eldest prince, the daughter of the people has never thought of this before."

Shaking her head with a wry smile, the woman was still kneeling on the ground, but the previous panic had disappeared from her eyes, she stared at Lu Yuanjin as if she was going all out and answered truthfully:
"Minnv has never practiced, let alone a scene like Ssangyong's appearance, so how do I know who will win?"

"But the eldest prince, women dare not gamble"

"If a commoner's life is lowly, she will die when she dies"

"But if you lose, Minnv's children will also die."

"Min, Minnv don't dare to gamble, don't dare to gamble."

"."

Don't dare to gamble.

This is the answer given by the woman.

And just after she finished speaking, more and more people around suddenly left the crowd silently, walked up to Lu Yuanjin, and knelt down on the ground without saying a word.

Tens, hundreds, thousands.
Soon, an unknown number of people knelt around Lu Yuanjin.

At first glance, this scene looks familiar.

But it's actually quite different.

An hour ago, they knelt at the foot of Longshou Mountain out of anger and petitioned for Gongsunyan.

Now, they are kneeling at Lu Yuanjin's feet because of fear, seeking a way out for themselves or their relatives.

As the woman said, they dare not gamble.

They are not Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping, who actually bet on a country.

They are not Lu Yuanjin and Gongsun Yan, they are fighting for the position of the Son of Heaven.

They are just the most ordinary people, just the most ordinary "untouchables".

So, why do they risk their own lives to gamble on that illusory "dignity"?

This has nothing to do with righteousness or family and country, it is just a simple question of "gains and losses".

After all, from the point of view of "lost", Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping can only lose a country's sphere of influence at best.

From the perspective of "gain", Lu Yuanjin and Gongsunyan can become the emperors above ten thousand people in one fell swoop.

Maybe it's because "can afford to lose", maybe it's because "it's worth fighting for".

In short, what the four of Wei Changtian made was a fairly fair bet.

But what about these people?

If they win, they get nothing.

If they lose, they will all lose their lives.

Who would dare to bet on such an unequal bet?
"You, you."

Seeing more and more people kneeling in front of him without saying a word, Lu Yuanjin's face turned from red to green, and then from green to white.

He seemed very angry, but he was trembling and unable to speak a word.

At the same time, behind a certain wooden window beside the long street, Chu Xianping, who was watching all this, slowly closed his eyes and sighed softly.

"Oh, let me go."

"."

"Yes!"

After being taken aback for a moment, the Kuilong man beside him immediately left the room, and not long after, Lu Yuanjin's hysterical shout came from the window.

The latter seemed unwilling to admit defeat like this, and was shouting something at this time.

But Chu Xianping didn't look at him, nor did he look at Wei Changtian who was standing at the other end of the long street.

He just looked up at the two golden dragons in the sky, and then his gaze fell on the crowd of people kneeling on the ground.

When the woman said the phrase "National girls don't dare to gamble", Chu Xianping already knew where he had lost.

Despair is as false as hope.

After all, I still think of ordinary people as too brave.

But maybe it is also because ordinary people have too many "dare not", so the world needs heroes
In the clear sky, the so-called "Dragon Protecting the Nation" turned into dots of light amidst Lu Yuanjin's unwilling screams, just like the galaxy appearing in the daytime.

And Chu Xianping finally took a look at Wei Changtian at the last moment, then closed the window and turned around, going to be his hero.
