Chapter 332
On the street outside the gate, people knelt on the ground.
It seemed that they were discussing with Zhou Tianyue's family respectfully, but in fact it was coercion.
At this time, several men in armor walked out of the crowd and came to Zhou Tianyue.
Zhou Wenbo recognized several people immediately.
"Vice General Xu? Vice General Sun? What are you..." he asked.
The man named Vice General Xu bowed his hands towards Zhou Tianyue and said: "Your Majesty, we are also here to persuade you to submit to the imperial court on behalf of the army and the people. Don't make any more fearless struggles."
His tone was neither salty nor cool, and it was not like the way a subordinate behaved when he saw the prince. Instead, he seemed to be here to inform Zhou Tianyue, or to threaten him.
"What? You even said that!" Zhou Wenbo saw his attitude and became angry.
"Bold!" Zhou Tianyue said angrily.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not that my subordinates are inconsiderate of your family. It's true that Xinxiang is already in devastation. Do you really want to kill all the people here to be satisfied?" Vice General Xu said coldly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It was obviously the emperor and Concubine Rou who caused the trouble, how could it be the prince who did it?" Mo Qingwan scolded.
"Girl, who are you? The prince has not spoken, is it your turn to interrupt?" Vice General Xu said.
"I'm just speaking to be fair. As the prince's subordinates, the prince has treated you so well over the years. Who among you has not received his protection?" Mo Qing said loudly in the evening.
"So what, now that everyone is about to die, is it possible that we should be buried with them?" Vice General Xu deliberately said these words to the people, and the discussion among the crowd became louder for a while.
"Yes, the prince is indeed very kind to us..."
"No matter how good we are, we can't repay the favor with our lives. We all support our families. It's okay if we die. Is it possible to have the whole family buried with us?"
"The princes are relatives of the emperor after all. Your Majesty will not kill them..."
Lieutenant General Xu continued to add fuel to the flames and said: "Yes, they are relatives of the emperor. They have conflicts among themselves, but they take the lives of ordinary people like us at will. I have followed the prince for many years and made many military exploits, but my family is more than ten years old."
You can't just lose everything."
"I think you must have taken advantage of others and deliberately incited people here with bad intentions!" Mo Qingwan scolded.
"You bitch, don't make false accusations against me. I think you're just looking for a slap in the face!" Vice General Xu said fiercely.
"Shameless villain," Mo Qing rolled his eyes at him.
When Vice General Xu was about to have a fit, the person next to him pulled him back and whispered: "Vice General Xu, this lady is the widow of the Major General. Let's not embarrass her."
When Lieutenant General Xu heard this, he stopped and continued: "Since you are the widow of the Major General, I will spare you. However, Your Majesty, if General Zhao Hanlin is here, he will definitely persuade you to surrender and stay in Xinxiang."
He always makes decisions for the people wherever he goes."
As soon as these words came out, the discussion among the crowd became even louder.
Zhao Hanlin was standing behind the door. When he heard this, he raised his hand and picked up the small chair beside him, and threw it at Deputy General Xu.
Lieutenant General Xu was talking incessantly, and he had no time to dodge. His head was suddenly smashed and bleeding, and he covered his head and screamed.
"You...you cripple dare to hurt people in public!" Vice General Xu pointed at Zhao Hanlin and cursed.
But when he saw Zhao Hanlin's face clearly, his eyes widened in horror.
How come this man looks exactly like the dead major general? He had met Zhao Hanlin before.
"You...are you a human or a ghost!" Vice General Xu said in horror.
"Vice General Xu, you still recognize me?" Zhao Hanlin sneered.
"You...are you really the Major General, Zhao...Hanlin? Aren't you dead long ago?" Vice General Xu stammered.
The crowd was also in an uproar.
"The Major General is still alive?"
"It's really him. I had the honor to meet him once in Qianjing. It's really him!"
"Great, the Major General is still alive!"
The people talked a lot, and even some of the soldiers who came with him were excited when they saw him.
In the past, Zhao Hanlin often came to Xinxiang to help Zhou Wenbo train soldiers. Although he was not good at water, he was unrivaled in setting up formations and training cavalry and infantry.
It was he who proposed that the waterway checkpoints be treated separately according to different topography and landforms, making the Xinxiang navy more indestructible.
Mo Qingwan walked over and pushed Zhao Hanlin out. He looked at Vice General Xu and said, "You just said, what if I let the prince and his family fall into a trap again?"
Vice General Xu suddenly felt guilty and stammered: "Major...Major General, it's great that you are still alive. I really don't know what I am doing. I have offended you so much. Since you are here, please advise the prince. You can't do it anymore." You have gone against the imperial court. Now everyone is almost without rice to cook with, and even clean water sources are scarce. Prince Zhou is hiding in the mansion like this, completely disregarding our life and death."
"Shut up!" Zhao Hanlin shouted angrily.
Lieutenant General Xu suddenly choked. He looked at Zhao Hanlin and saw that he was sitting in a wheelchair. He thought to himself that you are just a cripple now, so what can you do.
"Major General, you are a hero who protects the country. However, this matter has nothing to do with you. I advise you to mind your own business. Otherwise, given your current situation, I am afraid you will be implicated by them," Vice Admiral Xu's eyes became gloomy. Yin and yang strange qi path.
"Xu Shuangzhang, you are so brave!" Zhou Tianyue roared.
"Your Majesty, when I heard that you came to Beijing this time, His Majesty asked you to cut out your heart to save people, but you are still standing here fine. How can a person live without a heart? From what I see, you have either practiced some evil magic. You have provoked God to punish Xinxiang and caused a disease from heaven. Even the water is poisonous. In other words, you are not Zhou Tianyue at all, you are a monster who wants to harm us." Vice General Xu stood in front of the crowd of people and shouted loudly Said.
"Wuxin? How could Wuxin survive!"
Everyone looked at him in horror.
Zhou Wenbo stepped forward, grabbed Vice General Xu by the collar, and cursed: "Xu Shuangshang, you are really a cunning and cunning villain. That dog emperor forced my father to use his heart to make medicine for the demon concubine. I My father is your majesty’s uncle. Fortunately, we got help from experts, and my father was able to survive by pretending to be real. You don’t condemn the dog emperor and the traitorous concubine, but you come to question the victim. You have bullshit in your head. Or are you simply bribed by that bitch emperor and the traitorous concubine, and are deliberately here to incite people's hearts and try to alienate us."
Vice General Xu immediately started to quibble: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. I just want to survive. Do you think so? We Xinxiang people just want to survive."
he shouted to the crowd.
Everyone nodded, they just wanted to survive.
At this time, Zhao Hanlin spoke: "Dear fellow villagers of Xinxiang, this situation is exactly what the dog emperor and the traitorous concubine want to see. If everyone gathers here today, they have fallen into their scheme. Zhao
