She was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Mr. Shen, you...when did you go down the mountain?"
Shen Zhixu said: "It's been two days."
Chen Qingxue asked curiously: "Did our village leader let you go back?"
Shen Zhixu sneered: "He is not that kind. Have you not seen him for several days?"
Chen Qingxue nodded and said, "The leader of the village has indeed not shown up for a long time. Does Mr. Shen know where he is?"
Shen Zhixu said: "I know, please let Miss Chen let us in. Our purpose today is just to capture Han Qiancheng.
As long as you, Qingfeng Village, don’t resist, we will never make things difficult for you, let alone harm your lives.”
Chen Qingxue asked: "What if I don't let you in?"
Shen Zhixu replied warmly: "Miss Chen and I have met each other, and I don't want to embarrass you. Even if you don't open the gate of the village today, we still have plenty of ways to break in.
But there will definitely be damage when the time comes, and I believe Ms. Chen doesn’t want to see her copycat brother lose his life because of this, right?”
Chen Qingxue thought for a while and asked, "Can I believe you?"
Shen Zhixu looked at her and said: "Miss Chen, you don't have to trust anyone, you just need to believe in yourself."
Chen Qingxue suddenly became enlightened after hearing this. She raised her lips and smiled and said to the people behind her: "Open the city gate and let them in. No one is allowed to resist."
"Miss."
The guard was shocked and did not dare to obey her order. After all, opening the city gate was not a trivial matter and no one could afford it.
Chen Qingxue turned around, her eyes became colder and asked: "What? Can't I give you orders? Or do you think I'm just a prostitute and don't bother to listen to my orders?"
The guard was startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "This is not what I meant."
Chen Qingxue said: "Whatever happens, I will take care of it alone. Go and open the city gate and let them in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zhendong scolded him: "Qingxue, what are you going to do?"
Chen Qingxue looked at him with a calm expression and said: "Dad, I want to open the city gate and let them in.
Master Shen has already promised that he will not make things difficult for us. If it is for the good of Qingfeng Village, then stop resisting and don't place your hopes on Han Qiancheng.
You have also seen that such a big thing happened in Qingfeng Village, but he, as the leader of the village, is hiding somewhere? Also, the hostages he captured are all outside now.
So don’t place your hopes on Han Qiancheng, he can’t save you at all.”
Chen Zhendong was startled. He quickly looked outside the moat, and sure enough, he saw Ye Xiuchen and Shen Zhixu in the crowd.
They were clearly taken as hostages by Han Qiancheng and stayed in Qingfeng Village. When did they escape? Where is Han Qiancheng?
Seeing his hesitation, Chen Qingxue continued: "Dad, if you insist on going your own way, you will only harm Qingfeng Village. Han Qiancheng can even abandon the people he loves, let alone us? Just listen to your daughter."
Sun Yao also advised: "Brother, I think what Qingxue said is very reasonable. Why not just listen to her and open the city gate and let them in."
Tian Meng said with some scruples: "We robbed Nanyue's wedding princess and injured His Highness Prince Xuan. Will they really let us go?"
"meeting."
Chen Qingxue said firmly: "Fourth Uncle, the person leading the army today is His Majesty. If we surrender, if he kills us all and ruins his reputation as an emperor, what good will it do to him?"
Therefore, not only will they not harm us, they will also arrange for us properly and give the people an explanation."
Tian Meng is a rough guy and doesn't understand these principles, but he feels that since Chen Qingxue is so insistent, she must have her reasons.
His niece always had many ideas, so she kept silent and stopped being suspicious.
When Chen Zhendong saw this, he knew that Qingfeng Village was doomed. He sighed and said, "Just listen to the eldest lady, open the city gate and let them in. Our Qingfeng Village... has surrendered."
