Chapter 62: Armed Intervention (8)

Chen Jian, who was still struggling with "what to do if he was full and ate too much", did not know at this time that he would face a hunger rather than a stomach renaught. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After the people hiding in the city came back and relayed everything they had heard and seen, Chen Jian was silently stunned, looking at the gradually extinguishing fire for a long time.

At the same time as the city was angry, so were the people outside the city who heard the news, but the anger was meaningless, the blood was already stained and could not be washed away.

In anger, Jian Chen took a deep breath to suppress his panic, hastily organized the language, and preached to everyone through this incident, turning this interference of the people outside the city into a righteous act to eliminate harm for the people, and everyone in the angry cry was convinced that what they did was right, and the person in the city was not qualified to be the leader at all, and the only trace of interference was immoral guilt disappeared.

But this morale boost was nothing compared to the hatred of thousands of people in a city, and even the son of the old leader began to hesitate whether he wanted to return to the city, and whether he could still get the support of everyone as an executioner and accomplice of the murderer after returning to the city.

Su Tang was also at a loss, and quietly asked Jian Chen: "Ji Xia, why don't you go back first, wait for my father to gather the relatives, and let's come together to explain this matter, otherwise...... Otherwise, even if the city wall is blown up tomorrow, we will not be able to stabilize the chaos. Angry countrymen are terrible. ”

Jian Chen thought for a long time with his eyes half-closed, shook his head and said: "I can't go back, once I go back, we will never have a chance to change all this before he dies, and your father will no longer embarrass him in the face of the anger of thousands of people." There are 300 people who are standing here today who know about this, and 330,000 people who are back in Sucheng will know about it. Imagine that the sinners in the city are still in the position of leaders, and how do you make the relatives of the rest of the cities view their leaders? Convincing, respectful, admired...... All of this is gone, only hatred, suspicion, and estrangement remain! I'm the leader of Summer City, and I won't let my people see me like that. Would your father be willing? One day, you might become a leader too, would you? ”

"Besides, Xia Cheng has never been defeated in front of the enemy since he walked out of the mountains and forests. This time, it won't be the beginning. ”

Crushing the hesitation in Su Tang's heart, Jian Chen pretended to leave angrily, came to the campfire, listened to everyone's discussion, tapped his fingers on the firewood, recalled every conversation inside and outside the city wall before, pondered the way of thinking of this era, and conceived bloody and angry language.

When he thought about it, he called the men in the new army who had cooperated with Shi Camelina during the first play in Xia Cheng, and whispered to them.

After dawn, the stage play-like crying and self-binding performance begging Chen Jian not to kill his own people was performed on the city wall when the morning sun was in the sky, and the leader cried and almost fainted, but he did not curse Chen Jian, only said that even if he broke the rules, it was his own fault, and what was the fault of the people in the city? He had already prepared wine and food and was ready to open the city for a banquet to invite Ji Xia into the city, why did he want to kill and injure these people at night?

He found a rope to tie his hands, shouted for the clansmen to help tie up the rest of the place, and shouted at Chen Jian under the city: "Ji Xia thinks what I did is wrong, I will go back to Sucheng with you." But this city does not trust you, does not welcome you, you have the blood of your relatives on your body, and the gates of the city will never be open to you! ”

was about to leave the city, but was stopped by the people around him, I don't know who began to scold Chen Jian for the first sentence, and then dozens or hundreds of voices shouted together on the city wall.

Originally, the promise of letting Chen Jian enter the city today was rejected in another way, and there was nothing to refute and question.

"You're not welcome here! You are not our kinsmen, and you have our blood on you. If you have to come in, see whose blood is shed first! ”

"Our leader is our choice, and the moment we are elected, it is our promise! We will keep this promise unless he is no longer our leader. But as long as he continues, we will never expose him to your spears! ”

"Fuck off, Summerman. Go back to the Grass River! ”

The shouting and scolding were continuous, and the city wall was full of angry people, but the number was not too many, probably because he was afraid that Chen Jian would have ambush soldiers around him, so he scattered and guarded the surrounding city wall.

Facing the curses in the city, Chen Jian restrained everyone from scolding back, walked to the front of the military formation, and responded loudly: "I didn't send someone to the city wall yesterday, let alone set fire. I will abide by the rules and only enter the city today to question your chief, and I will never do anything to harm the innocent relatives. I only used less than a thousand people to defeat the tens of thousands of people in Xirong, if you are not my relatives, I can take these three hundred people into the city before the sun sets, why do those things that are going into the city and set fires? You think your city is strong, but in my eyes it is as fragile as a child's clay doll! ”

Everyone thought that Chen Jian wanted to defend himself, but they didn't expect him to add fuel to the fire, only the first sentence told that he was not wrong, and the rest was all about the other party's weakness in a mocking tone.

The scolding in the city was even more intense, and Jian Chen kept repeating similar words, but the people in the city didn't believe it at all, and shouted: "Three hundred people are like taking this city? Even Hua never said such a thing back then, who do you think you are? Come on, you have our blood on your body, you won't be afraid that we are relatives, now let's see if we are mud dolls! ”

The quarrel full of anger lasted for a long time, and Jian Chen had been deliberately provoking the other party's anger because of honor and disgrace instead of the previous anger because of the tragedy, which was the same anger, but the taste was already a little different.

The people inside and outside the city all acquiesced to a logic: if Jian Chen could really attack the city easily, then he would indeed not use the method of setting fire to the city at night.

But the premise of this logic is that if, but there is no if, and even if this is ridiculous, it is simply impossible. Since the whole premise is wrong, then there is no basis for the existence of the second half of this logic, so naturally Chen Jian must have sent someone to set fire to it last night.

The leader on the city wall laughed at the ignorance of Chen Jian in his heart, feeling the anger of the people, and he believed that he had firmly sat in the position of the leader at this time: with the support of thousands of people, who would dare to shake it?

"This is an idiot, there is no point in tending to you defeating the people of Xijon at this time, you are still too young."

This kind of thought is like drinking a sip of snow water in the summer, and the whole body is full of comfort. He also restrained everyone not to release the arrow, and to stay calm before the other party made a move, especially for fear that if Chen Jian was killed by an arrow, then the matter would expand and be difficult to control.

In the rational abuse, Chen Jian knocked on the side and asked how many people were burned to death, and then left the city wall, and retreated with the people, without questioning and refutating, but he did not leave the sight of everyone on the city wall.

In the eyes of the people who retreated in the city, it confirmed the fact that Chen Jian was ashamed, and the leader did not send people out of the city, worried that Chen Jian was cheating, so he only asked everyone to guard the four city walls.

In this era, there is only a siege and no siege, and if it drags on for more than a month, everything will be mediated and resolved. Just as he walked down the city wall to pay tribute to the people he burned to death, he heard the crowd outside the city shouting in the distance: "If you drink the blood of your people, your ancestors will not protect you." ”

He looked at the burned people and smiled in his heart.

"I drank the blood of my people, but it was you who had blood stains on my teeth." (To be continued.) )
