"Kill Yan Qingying! Kill Yan Qingying!"

The shouts outside were getting closer and closer, and they were getting louder, making the house tremble slightly. I held the windowsill with both hands and listened to the overwhelming shouts, and I was slightly trembling at this time.

My fingers unconsciously grabbed the windowsill.

At this time, a hand came from behind and gently covered my hand.

His fingers were also cold, even colder than mine, but fortunately, his palm was still warm, but he was a little sweaty, which made me tremble slightly when I touched my hand.

He said behind me, "Don't be afraid."

“…”

I didn't say anything.

Because as soon as he finished speaking, the people had already walked into the open space in front of the room, and the fire in front of him turned into a bright light, illuminating this silent place.

And in sight, people were crowded, and it was like a sea of ​​fire.

They want to kill me?

They want to kill me...

Feeling Pei Yuanxiu holding my hand tightly, his fingers twitched slightly, I was silent for a while before I realized that my hand had stabilized.

It turns out that I'm not really afraid.

They want to kill me, but in fact, death is not the worst destination for me.

But I haven't decided to die here and at the hands of these people.

Just as he was thinking, the commander of the Imperial Camp's personal soldiers guarding the door had already walked forward and said to those who kept waving torches and shouting: "The emperor is resting here. What are you going to do? Rebellion?!"

The people outside then became quiet.

But soon, I heard a man walking forward with heavy steps and said, "We know that disturbing the emperor is a crime, but at this time, even if we cut into pieces, we don't care. We just want to eliminate the evil and slander around the emperor and prevent the emperor from being confused anymore!"

"What are you talking nonsense?"

"Mr. Chen, you know we didn't talk nonsense."

The man who was talking outside became more and more angry, saying, "We came to the capital through great hardships. On the way, many brothers died, and even many people couldn't even look back at their hometown. But now, as soon as the woman Yan Qingying appeared, the emperor was confused by her and voluntarily withdrew from the capital."

“…”

"All the efforts we made before were wasted?"

“…”

"The emperor actually abandoned all his previous efforts for such a woman. Is this woman not an evil woman, so what?"

“…”

"We are here today to kill the evil spirits around the emperor!"

As soon as the words came to an end, the people outside were even more indignant and shouted with him.

Pei Yuanxiu still grabbed my hand and whispered: "Are you scared?"

I shook my head.

"Why, they want to kill you, but you are not afraid?"

"I thought of this day long ago."

"From the day I kidnapped you?"

I shook my head again.

"Start from the day when I got into trouble with your brothers."

“…”

I heard his breathing become heavier, as if I had looked at me for a long time, then let go of my hand and turn to the door.

With a creaking sound, the door was opened.

The people outside were shouting loudly, but when they heard the door open and saw him walking to the door, all the sounds quieted down again.

I don’t know how many people outside, but the torches in their hands illuminated my eyes. I could hear the sound of people outside panting, and it seemed, very nervous.

After all, it is not possible for everyone to do it, nor can everyone do it.

When they saw Pei Yuanxiu appear, although there were many people on one side and only one person on the other, they were completely overwhelmed by him in terms of momentum.

Pei Yuanxiu said in a deep voice: "What are you here, what are you going to do?"

The man who was leading the head outside just now hesitated for a long time, obviously hesitating, but soon realized that when things came to this point, there was no room for turning back. He stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said, "The criminal ministers and others respectfully ask the emperor to punish evil and slander, and revitalize the court!"

"Evil...?"

Pei Yuanxiu's voice was filled with a chuckle: "I only realized that there were evil spirits around me."

"Your Majesty!" said those people anxiously: "Yan Qingying is an evil person!"

"Yes, Master, she is here to confuse the emperor this time!"

"Oh?" Pei Yuanxiu said lightly: "She has confused me? What has she confused me for?"

The people outside became even more uneasy when they saw his attitude.

But someone still said with courage: "Your Majesty, we all followed the emperor from Jinling and fought all the way south and north. We finally arrived in the capital, but with a word from this woman, the emperor actually gave up on the capital!"

"Yes, Master, we have left our hometown. Over the years, have we not even made any contribution?"

"And the emperor actually wants to trade with Jiangnan and Shengjing's people."

"We fight bloody battles for the emperor, but the emperor wants to betray our hometown?"

...

I couldn't help but shake my head lightly as I heard these people's "outrageous indignation" words.

People often say that scholars rebelled for ten years but failed because scholars were too complicated. If they had to think about something over and over again, they often missed the best opportunity to do it, and they didn’t even have the courage to do it. And the people in the army had the most practical power and went straight and did it as soon as they said they could.

However, there is also the biggest problem with this kind of straightforward thinking, which is that they can't figure out what they want.

Sure enough, as soon as I shook my head, I heard Pei Yuanxiu say lightly: "Then, are you going to take it back to the capital or to Jinling now?"

“…”

Sure enough, as soon as the words came to an end, these people became quiet.

For a moment, in such a huge place, there were so many people and so warm flames, but the atmosphere suddenly became cold, and no one answered his questions.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Pei Yuanxiu said coldly: "My decision is because I have my plans, so how can others let others interfere?"

“…”

"And you speak righteously, but you don't even know what you want to do."

“…”

"Do you do this, is it because I want me to destroy my own country?"

When he heard him say this, the people outside suddenly became less imposing.

Immediately, the imperial camp soldiers surrounding the room immediately stepped forward, stood in front of Pei Yuanxiu, and blocked these people in front.

For a moment, the two sides became stalemate.

I held out the window and listened to the movement outside. I was still clamoring just now, but at this time, there was no sound at all.

However, if this continues, this matter cannot be solved.

Although these soldiers don’t know what they really want, since they have appeared here, it means that Pei Yuanxiu must give them an explanation.

Sure enough, someone said, "But Your Majesty, isn't it your own destruction when you quit the capital?"

As soon as these words were said, some people began to get restless again.

Just when everyone was about to move, but no one dared to take the lead, suddenly, I heard a footstep and walked over from a distance.

The familiar, sharp voice said, "His Majesty the Emperor actually made one mistake."

As soon as I heard this sound, my eyebrows frowned slightly.

Evil Houqi.

Why did he suddenly appear here?

Moreover, from his tone, it seemed that he was also coming to Pei Yuanxiu.

I felt that Pei Yuanxiu's breath was even heavier at this time, but when he spoke, his voice was still calm: "Prince, what are you going to say?"

Xie Houqi walked to the door, and chuckled in front of him and said, "Actually, what they asked for was clear from the beginning?"

“…”

"They want to kill evil spirits."

“…”

"As long as you kill Yan Qingying and hand over her body, will this matter be over today?"

When I heard this, my heart sank again, and the people outside were reminded by him and shouted: "That's right, we just want to kill this woman."

"She is the culprit!"

"Kill Yan Qingying!"

For a moment, all the killing shouts resounded throughout Yuwen Mansion, shaking the tiles on the roof trembled. I held the windowsill and showed a sneer on my face.

Xie Houqi, he really takes advantage of loopholes.

Before in the palace, he and his sister Gardi attacked me, but he didn't expect that I would use that opportunity to persuade Pei Yuanxiu to leave the capital, but I didn't forget that he had said before that he would make me die ugly.

So now, is he here to fulfill his promise?

Then, what about Pei Yuanxiu?

I listened attentively to the outside, especially at his voice.

Amid the noisy sounds outside, I quickly identified his breath, which was heavy and long, but without any sense of tension.

He was silent for a long time and said, "Okay, I understand."

“…?”

He responded so happily, not only me, but also the soldiers outside, and even the Xie Houqi, gasped in surprise: "You—"

Pei Yuanxiu ignored his surprise and said calmly: "You can come in with me, I can't do it."

When Xie Houqi heard this, he walked into the room without hesitation.

The soldiers outside were all excited, waving the fire in their hands, and the swaying fire shone through the window, making this somewhat obscure room dim and difficult to see.

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

Such shouts are louder than the other.

Hearing the footsteps behind the screen, I turned around and couldn't see anyone. I only heard Xie Houqi sneer and said, "Yan Qingying, your life is worth it."

“…”

"There are so many people who want to kill you, ordinary people, but they don't have such great ability."

“…”

"So you-"
