, At the most critical moment, another beat was delayed, and in this short period of time, the tall and thin man snatched the knife from the soldier's hand with his backhand, and put his whole body in his hand. hung on his neck.

The sudden change surprised everyone present, and also frightened the corporal leader who had been silent until now. Before the man could speak to the two of them, he rushed ahead of everyone and shouted.

"What a villain, you dare to commit murder in front of the emperor. This is a serious crime for Zhu Jiuzu. Hurry up and put down the knife in your hand." In a short sentence, the words "emperor" and "Zhu Jiuzu" were bitten very hard, like Want to silently warn him something.

The man seemed to be quite frightened by the emperor's words, he trembled for a moment, and looked towards this side with trembling fingers, just in time to meet Mo Jiujun's face that was as gloomy as a dark cloud.

The man trembled violently, he didn't seem to have thought that the man opposite him would be the emperor.

"Put down the knife, quickly."

"Those who want to kill the Nine Clans."

……

Countless city guards comforted him one after another, and the atmosphere of the whole scene was indescribably weird, as if the man opposite was not a gangster assassin, but a family-like existence.

The man trembled his hands and body, looked around, his eyes lagged slightly at one point, the knife he had been holding tightly in his hand fell weakly, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Seeing this, soldiers immediately rushed forward to restrain it.

Chu Jingran looked sideways thoughtfully, looked around in the direction he was looking at just now, and then froze somewhere.

There is a person hidden behind a narrow alley not far to the right, a woman in the same ragged clothes, only half of her face covered with dirt is exposed.

That face was very thin, and above it was a pair of extremely gloomy eyes, revealing eyes that were about to despair about the world, full of pain and tears.

And many soldiers guarding the city also saw the woman behind the alley, almost all of them lowered their heads subconsciously, and what flashed in their eyes was...

Chu Jingran was startled, unable to bear it and felt guilty.

After the man was captured, Mo Jiujun stepped forward in person, and said with a gloomy face, "Say, what is your purpose?"

"..." The man clenched his teeth and said nothing.

Mo Jiujun, who was being played like a monkey for a long time and still couldn't ask a word, had an indescribably ugly face, and when the atmosphere in the entire city was stagnant because of his ugly face, a faint voice sounded.

"You want to grab food."

The man who was kneeling on the ground trembled all over his body, raised his head tremblingly, and saw not far away, a man like a fairy in white was slowly approaching.

"You want to grab food. You saw that the corporal leader brought many people into the city. They held weapons and walked neatly. They were obviously not from the city. It was very likely that they were reinforcements and the reinforcements had food and grass in their hands. Therefore, You want to grab food."

Stopping, Chu Jingran continued: "As for the reason, there is probably a person who is more important to you than life, and he is about to die. He can't wait for the possible arrival of porridge and medicine, but you didn't think of it." Yes, the reinforcements are actually led by the emperor, and assassinating the emperor is a serious crime against the nine clans."

"You don't speak now because you want to protect the rest of the people, and even... you don't plan to live past tomorrow."

After the words fell, the man's body began to tremble violently.

Looking at the man not far away, Chu Jingran said softly, "The person you want to save is your child, and the person you want to protect...is your wife."

The man's whole body trembled suddenly.

Mo Jiujun didn't know where the information of the people around him came from, he frowned, and was about to order the soldiers to drag him away when he saw the silent man suddenly kowtowed on the ground.

"I deserve death, I deserve death, please don't hurt her, no, I can't save Huzi, let her go, please, please, please..." Monotonous and simple Dark blood trickled down the dirty hair on his forehead.

Through the clumps of blood mixed with muddy hair, Chu Jingran saw a wrinkled face full of tears, and those eyes full of despair and pain, which came from the most ordinary husband's humble prayer, It was the desperation of the most ordinary father.

The pair of eyes hidden behind the alley in Buyuan come from the pain of a mother who is helpless when her flesh and blood are about to die, and the grief of watching her husband die.

Putting the half catty of corn that he had just taken from the soldiers in his hand, Chu Jingran looked around at everyone, and said, "This is half a catty of corn. This corn is from the imperial city thousands of miles away from the emperor. brought with the soldiers who stood firm here."

His eyes slowly moved down to the man, Chu Jingran suddenly bowed, handed the cloth bag in his hand to the kneeling ground trembling, stared at the man's hand on him, and said softly: "It's also for your child. .”

The moment the words fell, the surrounding soldiers were like dominoes being overturned, one after another, one after another.
