I am the villain in the book

#857 - "public opinion"

If I win, everyone in the city must die!

“Boom!!!”

Dragon roars collided, a golden storm erupted, and the air surged, engulfing the sky and the earth.

Two enormous golden dragons writhed in the clouds, seemingly impatient to tear each other apart, their momentum rising frantically like successive waves.

The expressions of the people on the ground who looked up at this scene were varied.

“Hahaha! Wonderful!!”

“Wonderful!!”

Not far from here, on the roof of a building, the eyes of Duan Fangping and the other three had already become fanatical as they watched this scene.

The true dragon summoned by Wei Changtian and his words had made the four of them extremely “excited,” and their admiration for him had directly reached an unprecedented level.

Although they had long known that Wei Changtian could summon a true dragon into the world, the shock of seeing it with their own eyes was ultimately different from what they had imagined.

What's more, Wei Changtian was fighting against a country's guardian beast with his own strength!

And Young Master Wei was so calm! As if he didn't take the other party seriously at all!

What kind of domineering and arrogance was this!!

Their eyes widened, and the inner force around them surged continuously.

If they weren't afraid of ruining Wei Changtian's plans, Duan Fangping and the other three would probably have been unable to restrain the agitation in their hearts and rushed into the forbidden army to kill everyone.

Unlike their excitement, Chu An and Qin He, who were not far away, had very complicated expressions.

“H、How could this be...”

Staring blankly at Wei Changtian, who was standing alone under the golden dragon, Qin He clenched the corner of her clothes tightly, her body trembling slightly.

Wei Changtian's last words kept echoing in her mind, and looking at the countless people around her with terrified faces, she didn't know why things had turned out like this.

Was Young Master Wei really going to slaughter the city?

Closing her eyes, Qin He couldn't bear to watch any longer.

Recalling that she went to Hong'an Temple every day to pray for Wei Changtian, she couldn't help but feel that she was an accomplice to “helping the wicked do evil.”

Although Wei Changtian had saved Chu An and was their “lifesaver.”

But for anyone with a little conscience, no one would think of Wei Changtian as a “good person” anymore.

Therefore, Qin He's heart was very painful at this moment, and she didn't know how to face all this.

On the other side, Chu An's mood might have been even more complicated.

“...”

Looking up at the yellow dragon of fortune that was “of the same origin” as the Candle Dragon, and combining it with the “魏 (Wei)” character embroidered on the corner of Wei Changtian's clothes when he was shopping a few days ago.

Chu An wasn't stupid, and he finally guessed the truth at this moment.

He understood that Wei Changtian had long known his secret, and he also understood who was behind his previous capture.

Chu An just didn't understand why Wei Changtian didn't kill him, but instead released him again.

“Sigh”

He sighed softly, he didn't tell Qin He about these things, nor did he do anything, but just shook his head with a wry smile.

This wry smile was so helpless.

Facing Wei Changtian, Chu An knew that he had no power to resist at all.

If the former wanted him to die, he would die.

If the former wanted him to live, he would live.

No one wants their fate, or even their life and death, to be controlled by others.

But what can be done?

Just like the people who were fleeing in panic at this moment.

Being in the cracks of this great chaos, as ordinary people who had never cultivated, as “common people” without any power, what choice could they have?

“Ah!! It's Wei Yanluo (Wei, the King of Hell)!!”

“Run away!!”

“Run!!”

From the initial anger, to the excitement after the appearance of the national guardian dragon, to the fear at this moment.

When Wei Changtian's threat was clearly conveyed to everyone's ears, the tens of thousands of people around them completely panicked and fled in all directions.

The panicked shouts were extremely chaotic, and people kept falling in the crowded crowd.

Cries, shouts, and wails mixed together, like a symphony of the apocalypse, playing the deepest despair of mankind in the face of death.

Then, at a certain moment, someone suddenly stopped.

This was an ordinary-looking woman, who shouldn't have been too old, but her disheveled hair and rough palms made her look older than her actual age.

More importantly, she was holding a small swaddle in her arms, and the baby's cry in the small cotton quilt full of patches was heart-rending.

What did this woman do? Where was her man? These were still unknown.

But just as everyone was fleeing in the direction away from Wei Changtian and Lü Yuanjin, she suddenly stopped, and then turned around and walked step by step against the crowd towards the “battlefield” that everyone was avoiding.

“Are you crazy?”

“Don't you want to live anymore?!”

“Run away!”

Many people around her thought she was crazy or stupid.

But the woman turned a deaf ear to these voices, just hugged the swaddle tightly, passed through the crowd, and stood on the empty street that was extremely conspicuous.

Not far away, Wei Changtian and Lü Yuanjin both saw her, and judging from their expressions, they shouldn't recognize this woman either.

The latter lowered her head, walked silently in front of Lü Yuanjin, and slowly knelt on the ground with the swaddle in her arms.

“Who is it?!”

Lü Yuanjin shouted in a low voice, subconsciously taking half a step back, his eyes very vigilant.

It could be seen that he was a little afraid that this was Wei Changtian's trap.

After all, in this situation, it seemed a bit strange for such a woman to make such an abnormal move.

Squinting his eyes, the inner force surged in his palm, and Lü Yuanjin was ready to strike at any time.

However, just as the woman kowtowed three times heavily to him, and then raised her head with tears on her face, he couldn't help but be stunned.

“Your Highness, my name is Zhang Zhen, and I live in Hulu Alley, west of Yongding City...”

Zhang Zhen, a very ordinary name.

In addition, judging from the woman's clothes, appearance, words, and deeds, she was undoubtedly just an ordinary person.

Then this was even stranger.

At such a time, everyone else was fleeing, so why did Zhang Zhen not only not flee, but also take the risk with a baby in her arms?

“Zhang is it?”

Without taking any action for the time being, Lü Yuanjin first glanced at Wei Changtian on the opposite side, and after finding nothing unusual, he said coldly:

“There will be a fierce battle here soon, you quickly take your child and leave this place!”

“...”

Facing such an “uncertain factor,” Lü Yuanjin even “advised her kindly,” which could be considered very emperor-like.

But the woman remained unmoved, just looked up at him with tears on her face, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

“What do you want to say?!”

His tone became even more indifferent, and Lü Yuanjin, who was already extremely irritable, had little patience at this moment.

And the woman should have noticed this too, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally sobbed on the ground:

“Y、Your Highness, please...”

“J、Just let go of Gongsun Yan.”

“M、My man died of illness last year, and I almost lost my life to give birth to this child.”

“I、I don't understand any great principles, I just want this child to live well, to live...”

“He shouldn't die.”

“Your Highness, he is so small, he shouldn't die!”
