In an instant, the common people had already rushed up, but were all stopped by the soldiers. They were still dozens of steps away from the carriage. They had already seen Zhang Ziyu and immediately shouted to this side-

"Mr. Zhang, Lord. Zhang, please show your compassion and open the city gate!"

"Yes, Lord Zhang, we don't want to die!"

"Mr. Zhang, open the city gate!"

...

For a moment, the sounds came over and over, which made the curtains around our carriage tremble slightly. After all, Chang Qing had never experienced such a scene. If those people broke through the obstacles and rushed over, they would be afraid that even the carriage would be overturned. Even if there was not, the horse pulling the carriage was already frightened. Several horses kept struggling and neighing. The coachman tightened the reins with all his strength before he could barely control it.

Chang Qing's palm was covered with cold sweat, and she looked at me nervously: "Qingying, can't something really happen?"

"Please rest assured to Queen. If Lord Zhang escorts us over, he will definitely escort us back safely."

While speaking, another group of soldiers rushed forward, standing behind the soldiers who had already surrounded them in front of them to stop them from advancing, forming a stronger wall of people. No matter how crowded and noisy the common people were, they did not let them go further.

And at this time, a man slowly walked forward.

I lifted a corner of the curtain and saw that it was Zhang Ziyu who rode his horse forward. He raised his hand, wrapped his whip in his hand, and waved his hands suddenly at the common people who kept crowding around him. Although everyone was still clamoring, it depends on his attitude and gradually calmed down.

Zhang Ziyu said, "What are you doing? Stop the imperial court's orders to move forward. Do you know that this is a serious crime? I don't want to punish you, so you all go back obediently."

Those ordinary people looked at me, and I looked at you. One of the old men in the grade was finally trembling and said, "Mr. Zhang, we just want to leave the city. Everyone knows that Linfen is going to fight. After this war, who knows whether it is death or life? The old man died, but my little grandson is just one month old. I can't let our family pass on three generations alone, and just be ruined here!"

As soon as he took the lead, the common people started shouting again.

What they said is nothing more than that they want to survive and don’t want to stay in Linfen City and wait for death.

Zhang Ziyu frowned and looked at the people who kept begging, and his expression became more and more serious. He said in a deep voice: "Who said you are going to die? Will so many soldiers and the imperial men in Linfen City let you die? We will stick to Linfen City and will not give people a chance to come in and be presumptuous!"

"The army of the court? Which court is it?"

A sudden voice in the crowd squealed.

When I heard this, Chang Qing and I frowned.

The most troublesome thing is that someone mentioned this matter - Pei Yuanxiu established a new dynasty in the capital and established himself as emperor. After he ascended the throne, he even counted several of Pei Yuanhao's crimes and criticized him. Now Pei Yuanhao's status can be said to be very embarrassing. Although there are still officials around him and he can mobilize some troops, he can no longer be completely called orthodox in his fame. Once someone really leans towards Pei Yuanxiu, Linfen City can be said to be self-defeating!

Sure enough, when they heard that sentence, the common people became even more excited.

"We have heard that there is a new emperor in the capital, and the court will naturally be a new court!"

"Mr. Zhang, which side are you from?"

"Mr. Zhang, no matter which side of the imperial court, whoever gives us life!"

...

In the face of war, all aspects of human nature are exposed. Weakness, hypocrisy, fear, and even slavery are exposed in broad daylight without any concealment. Once a person begins to face the dark side of his human nature, the situation will be difficult to control. Poetry and calligraphy etiquette is to make people live more like humans, but the other side of human nature is almost like a beast.

As a human being, if there is no longer any restraint, the world will be in chaos!

As the people were calling harder and stronger, even the people on the city gate noticed the situation here, and more and more people rushed towards it. In this way, the pressure to protect the soldiers in front of our carriage was even greater. Even several times, those people almost broke them away.

If they are really allowed to rush over, the situation will be really hard to deal with.

Thinking of this, I turned to look at Chang Qing. Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the hand holding my hand was constantly exerting force. I knew she was afraid.

But the next moment, she got up and got off the carriage.

I hurriedly followed.

As soon as we saw us lifting the curtain, Kuaer and Xing'er came to help us immediately, and Zhesheng and the others immediately got off the horse to protect us. When Zhang Ziyu and the others saw that the queen had got off the carriage, they all got off the horse and knelt down on the ground.

The people ahead didn't know who got off the carriage and were still making noises, but when they saw Zhang Ziyu and the others dismount, they were shocked and immediately realized that a person bigger than Zhang Ziyu appeared.

For a moment, everyone became quiet.

I held Chang Qing and walked out from behind the carriage slowly.

Zhang Ziyu, with his several deputy generals and the soldiers behind him, shouted loudly: "Please respectfully the Queen and the Holy An!"

Queen!

These four words were like a huge stone suddenly pouring into the lake that had just calmed down, which caused a thousand waves for a while. The common people were all stunned and watched a graceful and luxurious woman slowly walk out from behind the carriage, as if the sun suddenly pushed away the dark clouds shining on everything, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Chang Qing raised her eyes and looked at them calmly.

All the tension and fear just now disappeared at this moment. I could only feel that her palm was a little wet, but when I held my hand, it did not tremble at all. Some were just steady and firm.

The few people standing in front looked at Chang Qing blankly, their legs uncontrollably relaxed, and then they knelt down.

As soon as the person in front knelt, the people behind him knelt down.

Even those who stood behind the crowd had no idea what was going on. Only after the people in front of them were kneeling down one after another, could they see a woman with a kind attitude standing in front of them, and those people couldn't help but kneel down.

Once they stopped rushing forward, the soldiers knelt down and shouted: "Greetings to the Queen, the Queen, the Queen!"

The sound only reached the end of the entire street.

Although Linfen is a military city in Shanxi, it is just a small city after all. How could the people here think that one day they would see the queen with their own eyes? And they were not arrogant and could only look up to them, but they appeared in front of them, even within reach.

Everyone was shocked!

They all looked at Chang Qing in amazement, as if a fairy who had never seen before landed from the clouds, and they didn't even dare to let out a breath.

Chang Qing didn't say anything, but was supported by me and walked slowly forward. The common people were kneeling on the ground, but at this time they hurriedly retreated to both sides. The originally crowded place immediately gave up a road, allowing Chang Qing to walk forward slowly. Wherever she went, the people on both sides of the avenue would kneel down.

I gave Zhesheng and the others a wink, and they reacted quickly and immediately rushed forward to open the way for Chang Qing.

We walked slowly forward from the place where the carriage stopped, and in a short while, we reached the city gate.

The people here were all shocked and gave in to both sides.

Chang Qing walked to the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city who were blocking the city gate had just been hit by them, and a lot of injuries were added to their faces. Several of them were even scratched, and their faces were bleeding, making them feel very embarrassed.

Chang Qing climbed the steps and walked to about ten steps before slowly turning around.

Under the steps, you can see hundreds of ordinary people, and even many people heard the news here and were still rushing towards here.

At this moment, if she succeeds, everything will be over.

If something is wrong, it may lead to a huge disaster!

Thinking of this, my breathing became slightly tense.

At this time, Chang Qing turned her head and looked at me. I nodded gently at her. She looked down at the common people who looked up at her, and even some of them were kneeling on the ground and did not get up. She said calmly: "You all get up."

“…”

"Get up."

Her voice was as soft as the spring breeze. It was not loud, but it seemed that the hundreds of ordinary people below heard it. They slowly got up from the ground, and some people even looked up at her secretly, with endless envy and longing on their faces.

After all, it is impossible for people in this small town to see the queen.

Chang Qing's face maintained a faint, almost gentle smile and said, "I have heard what you said to Lord Zhang just now. I know that you want to survive."

“…”

"So, you hope that Lord Zhang will open the city gate and let you leave, right?"

The common people standing in front seemed to be infected by the calm aura of her body. No one said anything for a moment, but someone in the crowd said, "Yes, we just want to leave here, we want to survive!"

“…”

"Please be kind to the Queen!"

Chang Qing smiled and nodded and said, "If you really want to leave, if you leave, it can be better than staying in the city. Then this palace can let Lord Zhang open the city gate and let you leave."
