Step aside, I want to see the imperial envoy!
Comrades, charge!
The voices grew closer and closer. Su Ziji looked out and could already see the people walking in front, the raised torches, and the angry faces beneath the torches.
And the increasingly tense armored soldiers drawing their weapons.
Zhang Dai had troops here, but only thirty or forty men. Even if they drew their swords for a standoff, how long could they hold out?
Besides, among those people, there were also men arranged by the aged emperor.
When the time came, even if many people did not want to charge, they would still be swept forward in the surge.
Even if someone wanted to protect Zhang Dai, they would be broken through.
Su Ziji could already hear them clearly.
He heard those people continue to shout: Starve at home rather than die for the country!
You group of people aiding and abetting the tyrant Zhou, we cannot go on living anyway! Come on, come on, pierce here, stab here, kill us if you have the guts!
Have the guts to kill us then! Beat and slaughter all of us!
Even more people were shouting: Charge! The imperial envoy is inside!
We want an explanation! We want justice!
The armored soldiers protecting the imperial envoy all flashed cold light. The crossbows that had been shouting warnings were slowly aimed and targeted once more.
Su Ziji watched all this, shook his head, and turned to look at Zhang Dai.
Half of his face was illuminated by the faint torchlight outside, flickering and dim.
Su Ziji stared into Zhang Dai's eyes: A popular uprising is right before our eyes. Once the uprising breaks out, the imperial court's majesty and a good name in history will all become unbearable.
