I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

"Did you know? His Majesty is up there with us!" a wounded soldier said mysteriously, "He not only personally commanded the battle, but also fought alongside us. His Majesty is truly a hero and never acts pretentiously. Even when he was injured, he never made a sound."

Hearing this, the people around gave thumbs up, with expressions of admiration on their faces. Their eyes sparkled with admiration, as if the emperor was a hero in their hearts. Some people clapped their hands excitedly, some couldn't help but cheer loudly, and some women even had tears in their eyes.

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic response, the wounded soldier struck while the iron was hot and called on several young and strong men present to join the battle.

He said passionately: "To be honest, this is a matter of life and death. We need more forces to defend our Youling City. You are all young people with strong bodies and brave hearts. As long as you are willing to stand up and fight alongside us, we will definitely be able to defeat the rebels!"

However, this time, everyone was silent, with expressions of fear and hesitation on their faces. They exchanged glances with each other, as if they were thinking about something.

At this moment, a few people suddenly stood up and said sarcastically: "They are all a bunch of cowards! They are only fit to hide behind others and beg for mercy! You let them go? Isn't this asking for their lives?"

Their words were like a sharp knife, piercing the hearts of those young people.

Another soldier also echoed: "That's right! The people we risked our lives to protect are these cowards! It's not worth it just thinking about it!"

As he said this, he angrily threw the bowl in his hand to the ground, and the pieces flew everywhere.

The people around became even quieter, and the eyes of many young people began to flicker.

They were originally ashamed of their retreat, but now they were enraged by the words of these people.

They felt insulted and a strong sense of unwillingness surged in their hearts.

The soldier's face turned ugly at first. He didn't expect that his appeal would cause such a response.

He looked at the angry soldiers and then at the hesitant young people, not knowing how to deal with the situation.

At this moment, a seriously wounded soldier suddenly staggered down from the upstairs, with blood oozing from the wounds on his body, staining his clothes red, but he seemed to feel no pain, and kept shouting: "Let me kill these bastards! Let me go! If I can't go, who else can go! Without a country, there is no home!"

After hearing the voice, Tengxi rushed over to help him up and shouted loudly, "Brother Wang! You can't go anymore! You are seriously injured and you will die if you go!"

The seriously injured soldier tried his best to push her away, but failed. Instead, his large movement pulled his wound and he gasped in pain. However, he still gritted his teeth and said:

"If the city is breached, who can survive? It is better to die in battle than to live in disgrace!"

However, before he could finish his words, he fell down the stairs again due to exhaustion.

Seeing this, Tengxi quickly called someone to carry him back.

"Oh my god! Without Youling City, how can we call home?" A young man stood up firmly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

His voice echoed in the hall, as if igniting the fire in everyone's hearts.

Then, another burly man stood up, his muscles tense, and said angrily: "Damn it! I've been killing pigs all my life, so what's the harm in killing a few enemies!"

His words are full of ambition and passion, which can't help but move people.

As the two people expressed their opinions, more people responded.

"I go!"

"I am coming too!"

They stood up without hesitation, fighting spirit and courage burning in their eyes.

For a moment, the lobby was filled with noise and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Everyone was eager to try and wanted to immediately join this life-and-death battle.

Jiang Xingkuo stood in front of the counter, quietly watching the scene in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile of relief.

These people may not be the strongest, but their courage and determination are admirable.

At least, they can temporarily alleviate the current crisis and contribute to the defense of Youling City.

This spirit of unity and solidarity makes people see the dawn of hope.

"Girl! It really works! You are so smart!" Tengxi sighed as he looked at the indignant crowd.

"It's just a way of provoking someone." Jiang Xingkuo said.

"How does the girl know that they will definitely be fooled? Oh no, it should be said that they will be provoked!" Rattan Chair asked again.

"It's just the herd effect. Alas, it's only a temporary solution, but it's better to have it than nothing to deal with the remaining days." Jiang Xingkuo sighed.

"Herd? Herd effect? ​​What is that?" Tengxi asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Jiang Xingkuo smiled helplessly, wondering how come this little guy didn't understand anything? But he still patiently explained:

"The herd effect is a social psychological phenomenon. In short, people tend to be influenced by the majority and then follow the public's thoughts or behaviors. This usually happens when information is insufficient and uncertain. Because people find it difficult to make independent judgments, they tend to observe and imitate the behavior of others."

Seeing Teng Xi's confused face, Jiang Xingkuo couldn't help but shook his head, feeling that his explanation was not clear enough.

So she thought of a more appropriate example to help him understand.

"Well... let me put it this way, for example, Cui Yan Tang's rouge is very popular, everyone is rushing to buy it, Song Yan also buys it, you see her buy it, so you buy it too. But have you ever thought that, in fact, you never use rouge. This is a typical herd effect." Jiang Xingkuo said with a smile.

"Oh..." Teng Xi suddenly realized. "So... the young man who jumped out first was arranged by the girl?"

"...The same thing happened to the second pig-killing man. Because at this time, the second person who follows is actually the most important. If there is no one who follows, then everyone will still be discouraged."

Tengxi was full of praise and said that he had learned a lot from the girl.

Not long after I relaxed, someone else came to the palace.

"What happened again? Why is it so urgent?" Jiang Xingkuo got on the carriage and asked the eunuch who was driving the carriage in a hurry.

"Young lady, please sit tight. I am just a messenger. I will tell you when the Imperial Concubine comes."

Jiang Xingkuo collapsed in the carriage, groaning in pain, what a broken world!
