"You're right. If it's incomplete, it's not the best."
Chu Xuanzhi restrained Shen Yangge and retracted the long sword. He got closer and his voice was full of charm and temptation. "Why don't you dig out your eyes and give them to me?"
The expressions on the faces of the people in the audience were complicated. Some people seemed to vaguely understand what was going on.
But how can ordinary people like them get involved in such political disputes?
No one wants to die, but...
Everyone's eyes fell on Shen Yangge. Some people made a commotion, struggled to get up from the ground, and shouted, "You guys are biting Lu Dongbin and don't know a good heart. Have you all forgotten the previous battle to defend the city?"
"Who protected you?"
"Who protected your family in that difficult situation? Now, just a little rumor can make you abandon your previous beliefs and instead believe that Lord Divine Dragon who helped you and asked for help is Monster?"
"Did those demons above come out to save anyone when all living beings were suffering? They were just wearing stolen goods, and their identities were not real Daoist priests!"
The man wanted to continue talking, but an arrow shot through the air and pierced his chest. He fell to the ground with a bang, lost consciousness instantly, and could no longer say anything to refute.
The people around were frightened and screamed and ran to the side, but they didn't know that it was impossible to escape from here because the place was completely surrounded by people from Chu Tianyin and Chu Xuanzhi.
No matter what your identity or status is, as long as anyone here, whether now or in the past, who respected Shen Yangge excessively, will be killed without mercy, and everyone will be afraid.
"Let us go!"
"These things have nothing to do with us!"
"Yes, we people just want to live our lives properly. What do you want to do?"
There were more and more clamors, but Chu Xuanzhi laughed at Sacrificial Terrace. While laughing, he twisted Shen Yangge's shoulders with such force that Shen Yangge's face turned pale.
"What do you want to do?"
He scoffed and continued, "I don't want your lives either. After all, my hands will be dirty. But you people are people who don't abide by your duties. You can spread rumors and public opinion just by turning around."
"If I let you go, people at Great Chu will hear a lot of things. This would be very bad, don't you think?"
A middle-aged man shouted loudly, "Who are you?"
"We swear we will never tell anyone about what we saw today!"
"Yes!"
"Bah, your oath has no effect. Before you came here, you swore that Master Divine Dragon was your reincarnated parent. Then you turned around and took the lead and called him Monster. Do you think I didn't hear it?"
The man let out a weird smile, "You are still the same Prince Faction. The reason why Crown Prince kept you is just because you have some connection with Prince Anping."
The middle-aged man who was told the truth not only did not take these words to heart, but narrowed his eyes and said his defense, "I have always been afraid of death, so as long as my lifeline is taken, I can sacrifice my life to anyone. I used to be Crown Prince, but now..."
He cast his eyes on Chu Tianyin, squinted his eyes, and continued loudly, "Fourth Prince His Highness is also one!"
The man was obviously choked by such a shameless sentence, and he pointed at him for a long time. Finally, he could no longer bear the pressure and fainted with a plop.
Chu Tianyin clapped his hands in a gentle manner and agreed, "Not bad, you know how to advance and retreat, and you also know what kind of people to serve. You are very good."
The middle-aged man saluted Chu Tianyin and retreated to the side. He stood in Chu Tianyin's camp. The remaining Crown Prince Faction's faces fell one after another, and some were shaken.
Some people are still resisting.
But a small number of people are still like middle-aged people, and they are ordered to choose their masters. Although they will be discussed in future generations, so what?
Human life is so short. They haven't lived enough, so it would be a pity to die like this. Besides, what will their families do after they die?
In the face of this regime change, many people have remained silent.
Anyone who has not chosen another master is Crown Prince's confidant.
These people know very well that even if they stand in the past, the final outcome will not change, it is just a change in reputation and loyalty.
Ever since they became Crown Prince's confidant, they had guessed that sooner or later they would face such a situation, so there was no other expression on their faces except anger and helplessness.
There is a saying that no one wants to die, but this saying no one wants to die is based on a relationship that can truly survive.
Shen Yangge half-closed his eyes, watching the changes under the rooftop, with a silent sarcastic smile on his lips. But when his eyes glanced at the steps, the dazzling blood stains made him feel dizzy.
Chu Xuanzhi observed the subtle changes in his expression at close range, then silently reached out and touched his neck, teasing:
"Although you can't compare with this little guy from the Wang family, I can't put it down with your thin skin and tender flesh. Otherwise, you'd be locked up with Chu Xuanzhen anyway. How about you stay with me and let me be your eyes?"
"Bah, you are so shameless. I also want to know who you are. Isn't this the Second Prince who ran away a few years ago? You thought you were dead. Why are you blind and your brain is so funny?"
The person who said this was a bad old man. The old man was wearing a bright red official uniform. He obviously had a high status among the ministers. He had his hands on his waist. He didn't have the slightest elegance of a civil servant. He barely danced the green onion dance in front of everyone.
The old man shook his head and shouted angrily, "I should have strangled you to death in the first place, otherwise such a rebellious thing as today would not have happened. You actually murdered Zhengtong and forced Lord Shen, the reincarnation of Divine Dragon, to submit to you. Why don't you stick it on the wall yourself and use it as wall material?"
The old man scolded people and could easily make them angry. No, just a few words made the old man seem to come to life.
Chu Xuanzhi, who was angrily scolded, could not maintain his indifferent look, and immediately turned cold and said, "Don't think that because you are the late emperor's teacher, I don't dare to touch you."
The old man picked his ears. "What are you talking about? Say it louder, haven't you had enough to eat?"
Chu Xuanzhi took back the hand that restrained Shen Yangge, and seemed to intend to jump down and fight the old man to the death. However, within two seconds after letting go, he regained control of Shen Yangge, and he said with a chuckle:
"You think I don't know your true nature. How to provoke the general? It's useless. If you want me to release someone, then this person must be used by me, don't you think so? Lord Shen?"
Shen Yangge looked at Chu Xuanzhi who was twisting his shoulders tightly. Suddenly, he tilted his head, raised his eyes, and blurted out in a cold and rebellious tone. "Are you worthy of being used by you?"
