"Yang Xun! Yang Xun, if you have the guts, kill me! Ahhhhh——"
Kong Wu was pushed to the ground by two Jinyi guards, and his old face turned red as he stripped off his clothes.
But Yang Xun didn't seem to hear his shout. He was still chatting and laughing quietly with Li Ping'an beside him, and pointing at him from time to time.
From Kong Wu's point of view, this was simply a humiliation to him!
At this moment, Yang Xun suddenly looked at him and said: "You said you are so old, why are you still barking like a slaughtered pig? Wouldn't it be wrong to kill a strong-willed veteran like you like this? Is it such a pity?”
"Come here, drag the old general down and tie him at the city gate so that all the people entering the city can see!"
As soon as these words came out, Kong Wu's eyes suddenly widened with fear.
The battle in Dongyu City ended, and the people who had escaped from Dongyu City returned to the city one after another.
Now that he was tied to the city gate, wouldn't it mean that the people were allowed to vent their anger on him?
Just as Kong Wu was about to speak, a Jin Yiwei blocked his mouth with a sock, and that sock had just been taken off his feet.
"Woo-woo!"
Kong Wu kept struggling and was taken to the city gate by Jin Yiwei and tied to a wooden stake.
The people passing by looked puzzled. They didn't know why Kong Wu was tied here, and they just stood aside and watched.
Just when Kong Wu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a Jin Yiwei came over and hung a sign on his body, with eight characters written on it: "Collude with Ni people, national thief Kong Wu!"
Many of the people present were illiterate and had no idea what was written on it. Suddenly, a young man dressed as a scholar rushed out of the crowd, went up and gave Kong Wu a slap in the face.
"You are the traitor Kong Wu!" The young man's eyes were splitting as he kicked and hit Kong Wu.
"Who is this young man Kong Wu? Why did you beat him?" a middle-aged aunt asked curiously.
The young man wiped his tears, turned around and saluted the people, and said loudly: "You don't know, this Kong Wu is the general under King Pingnan. It was he who colluded with the Ni people, invaded our Dongyu Island, and massacred our Dongyu Island. Island people!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar, and everyone looked at Kong Wu with hatred in their eyes.
The people of Ni State and King Pingnan's army caused the people present to lose their homes and relatives. They hated the people of Ni State and at the same time they hated King Pingnan's army who colluded with the people of Ni State.
Knowing that Kong Wu was the commander-in-chief of King Pingnan's army, the hatred in the hearts of the people was immediately ignited.
"Beast! Give back the lives of my husband and son!" The aunt rushed up first and scratched Kong Wu's face.
"My wife and sister were ruined by those Ni country beasts, I will kill you!"
"My ancestral home was burned down by the Ni people, and all my family members were slaughtered. I was the only one left alive!"
"Traitor, our whole village has been killed by you, how can you still have the honor to live!"
For a moment, the people rushed forward, punching and kicking Kong Wu. After a while, Kong Wu was covered in blood and whined from his mouth.
The Jin Yiwei on the side just watched all this coldly and had no intention of stopping it.
After a while, Kong Wu was silenced by the crowd of people.
At this moment, the horn on the city tower suddenly sounded, and the people stopped what they were doing. A group of royal guards suddenly rushed out of the city, lined up on both sides of the city gate, and shouted in unison: "The King of Zhenbei is here!"
Yang Xun, wearing a golden dragon armor, came slowly on a tall horse, dragging behind the horse a woman with disheveled hair and ragged clothes.
"Meet the King of Zhenbei!"
I don't know who shouted something, and the people knelt down and worshiped.
Yang Xun came to the people, got off his horse, and shouted loudly: "Folks, there is no need to be polite! It's me who came late and made you suffer!"
With that said, Yang Xun bowed deeply to the people.
Seeing this scene, the people were immediately flattered.
The king of Zhenbei, who is a rich man, actually bowed to them, which was something that he could not even imagine.
"Folks, don't worry. I will give you money as compensation for every citizen of Dongyu who was persecuted by the Ni people. I have already sent people to transport money, silver and grain to Dongyu, and they will arrive in the near future."
"I will not let you go hungry, nor will I let you lose hope in your future life! If your fields are gone, I will redistribute them to you; if your houses are gone, I will build them again for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old Confucian in his seventies or eighties suddenly fell to the ground and shouted: "The King of Zhenbei is righteous!"
"The King of Zhenbei is righteous!"
For a time, the people also imitated his example and knelt down before Yang Xun. Many people already had tears streaming down their faces.
"Folks, you don't have to be like this!" Yang Xun quickly stepped forward to help the old scholar up, and then pointed to the ragged woman behind him.
"Have you seen her? Yes, she is from the Ni Kingdom, and she is the princess of the Ni Kingdom. I caught her with my own hands!"
As soon as these words came out, the people suddenly became excited again and shouted: "Kill her, kill her!"
Hearing the cries of the people, Inukai Kinoko was so frightened that he stumbled and fell to the ground. His originally dull eyes were full of panic.
Although the people were furious, no one came forward because they knew that King Zhenbei was a good prince and would make the decision for them!
Yang Xun pressed his hands to signal the people to calm down, and then said: "She must die, but not today! When my king's army goes out to fight, I will personally kill her to sacrifice the flag!"
"I hereby assure you fellow villagers that it won't be long before I invade my country, destroy it, massacre its people, destroy its culture, vent my anger on my fellow villagers, and avenge the dead soldiers and civilians!"
"That's it!" The old Confucian burst into tears and wanted to kneel down to Yang Xun again, but Yang Xun held him back.
"The prince is mighty! The Yan army is mighty!" Li Ping'an shouted behind Yang Xun.
The surrounding Jinyi guards and Japanese soldiers also shouted in unison: "The prince is mighty! The Yan army is mighty!"
Immediately afterwards, all the people and soldiers said: "Your Majesty is mighty! The Yan army is mighty!"
Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the shouts were earth-shattering.
Inukai Kinoko sat on the ground and couldn't recover for a long time. It was only at this moment that she realized how ridiculous it was for Niguo to invade Dagan while it was in civil strife.
Civil strife is a fight between gods. Ni Guo is just a kid, but he dares to come and join in the fun. Isn't this looking for death?
After returning to Prince Dongwu's Mansion, Jin Yiwei hurriedly reported that Xu Ai had led 40,000 Beiyan iron riders to the outside of Dongyu City. Along with them were hundreds of thousands of copper coins and countless potatoes.
The first batch of potatoes from Beiyan Tianlang Mountain has been harvested, and they will come in handy now.
In addition to Xu Ai, Xing Daorong also came, and what Yang Xun didn't expect was that he also brought King Pingnan with him.
