Mu Yun'an raised her head and saw Xiao Li appearing on the tower. She narrowed her eyes and stared at the man wearing a silver complexion, but her heart skipped a beat.
Shen Wanyue was trapped by love and wanted to kill her, but this man named Xiao Li wanted to kill Xiao Chengyi for his great cause.
It's so shameful for these people to threaten innocent people.
After a brief panic, Mu Yunan calmed down and pretended to be confused: "What should I do?
One wants my life, and the other wants brother Yi’s life, why don’t you discuss it and come up with an idea, we’re not in a hurry.”
She pretended to be relaxed, but her attitude didn't look like she was being controlled by others.
Xiao Li stared at Mu Yun'an, raised the corners of his lips and said, "General Mu's daughter is indeed extraordinary. I heard that you and the regent are deeply in love.
But in front of everyone, he just gave up on you. How can a man be reliable who can even abandon the one he loves? How about you follow me from now on and let me protect you? "
Mu Yun'an sneered and imitated his tone before saying: "How can a man who can even take advantage of the common people protect me?
You want the world, but you trade the lives of the people for your own. Who knows that only those who win the hearts and minds of the people can win the world?
So when you put these people on the tower as a bargaining chip to blackmail us, you have already lost, lost to my brother Yi."
When Xiao Li heard what she said, his expression hidden under the mask changed slightly, but others couldn't see it.
He shook his hands secretly and said: "If you can't save your life, how can you achieve great things?
I know what I did today is shameful, but if you hadn’t been so nosy, people like them would still have food and drink, and their lives would be safe.”
"I bother."
On the city tower, someone among the people who were being held hostage suddenly let out a sigh, and he cursed loudly: "Grandma, don't fart here, you caught us and treated us like pigs and dogs.
I have to mine ore for you every day, do the most tiring work, and not even give me enough to eat. Every day, I am precarious, and I am beaten, scolded and humiliated at every turn. I have had enough!
The worst that can happen is death. Do you think I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Let me tell you, even if I die, I will not harm the regent and the princess."
As he said that, he shouted to Xiao Chengyi who was downstairs: "My lord, you are a good man, our mere lives are not worthy of your and the princess's risking their lives to protect each other.
Please don't worry about us, you must kill this evil thief and bury him with us."
"Yes, kill this evil thief and bury him with us."
Each of these people shouted loudly and were very excited. They were caught here and worked hard day and night. I don’t know how many people died?
But they are also big-blooded men, not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
They had known that they would never get out alive, but now that they were being held hostage and threatening the regent by these people, it would be better to die.
And they believed that the regent would definitely avenge them.
"Okay, since you want to die, I will let you die."
When Shen Wanyue saw that the leader was trying to incite rebellion, she took out the sword in the guard's hand and went to take the man's life.
Then Xiao Chengyi scolded: "Stop, Shen Wanyue, if you still want to threaten me, you'd better ensure the lives of all of them. If one of them is missing, it will be useless."
The implication is that if one of these one hundred and eight people is missing, they will not be able to threaten him.
Shen Wanyue paused with the sword in her hand when she heard this. She knew that Xiao Chengyi could do what he said, and she felt there was no need to lose more than she gained by losing a life.
She put her hand away, looked at Xiao Chengyi and said with a smile: "As expected of the regent who serves the country and the people."
After saying that, she raised her lips and said, "In that case, don't waste time and use Mu Yun'an in exchange for these people."
