The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

When Li Zhaoying and Li Jixin entered the Beirong Palace, Li Jiren had also arrived outside Pingyao City.

Seeing the people tied up on the city wall, Li Jiren couldn't help but think of the three human heads he saw when he rushed to Wuping County two years ago.

Hundreds of meters away, Lin Pingyuan could still feel Li Jiren's murderous gaze.

But he couldn't do anything about it. If he didn't do this, how could he make Li Jiren hesitate?

Those tied up on the city wall included the wife and children of the Pingyao Prefecture magistrate, a businessman who had worked hard to raise food for the people of Jiyang during its most difficult times, an old soldier who was crippled from fighting for his country and was left to live in the Pingyao Prefecture shelter... and the old man who appeared on the ring that day, the fifth uncle from Fengye Village.

Inside the city wall, one could faintly hear the crying and cursing of the people.

Han Dongchen, Zhao Xingye, and military doctor Han Nanxing have been crying since they saw their fifth uncle.

Guan Pengfei felt sad and comforted them with his eyes from time to time.

Han Dongchen, Zhao Xingye and Han Nanxing were also worried about the other people in Fengye Village and their father.

The people of Fengye Village were taken away by Lin Pingyuan. Han Qingyun told them early on, but no one expected that Lin Pingyuan would use this method to force Li Jiren.

"Li Jiren, you were raised in the arms of the late emperor, who placed great hopes on you. But not only do you not appreciate the emperor's grace, you actually split the foundation that the late emperor worked so hard to maintain. Are you worthy of the late emperor?

The late emperor saw your family's disloyalty and unfilial nature, and therefore passed the throne to you. Not only have you failed to reflect on your mistakes, you have actually committed the heinous crime of slaughtering 100,000 people in Wuping County.

Even though you have committed such a heinous crime, the Emperor has not expelled you from the Imperial Jade Spy Corps. You should be grateful and devote yourself to the Emperor.

But you actually wantonly slandered the emperor and pinned the blame on him. You even wanted to make yourself emperor. You really deserve to be cut into pieces!"

Lin Pingyuan was on the city wall, shouting condescendingly.

Li Jiren picked up the arrow and put it down again. He didn't want to say a word to Lin Pingyuan. He just needed to shoot the arrow to make Lin Pingyuan shut up.

But he dared not.

Everyone on the city wall is related to him.

Starting from yesterday, Lin Pingyuan started killing people and forced him to commit suicide.

Although Li Jiren was not stupid enough to commit suicide for others, he did not dare to attack Lin Pingyuan.

The person Lin Pingyuan killed yesterday was a traveling doctor who had gone to the Jiyang battlefield to treat the wounded.

Li Jiren saw that he had good medical skills and wanted to recruit him as a military doctor, but the traveling doctor said that he would come as long as the Jiyang Army needed him, and when the Jiyang Army did not need him, he could also treat ordinary people.

But yesterday, that kind-hearted old man died at Li Jiren's feet.

Han Qingyun, who rushed over after receiving the news, stared blankly at the people on the city wall.

Fifth Uncle also saw Han Qingyun. He smiled at Han Qingyun, as if to say that he was fine, but his pale face was covered with sweat and his hands were tied tightly behind his back.

Han Qingyun yelled, "Lin Pingyuan, they are all citizens of Dayu. Is this how you treat them?"

It was the first time that Lin Pingyuan met Han Qingyun, but when he saw the way Li Jiren protected Han Qingyun, as well as Han Qingyun's age and appearance, he guessed that this was last year's top three winner.

"Han Qingyun, as the emperor's disciple, you should have risked your life to eliminate Li Zhaoying and his son, but you became a traitor's minister. You are truly ungrateful."

Han Qingyun tried to take a few deep breaths. He couldn't communicate normally with someone with abnormal brain circuits.

"When our two countries were at war, if you had killed the Northern Ji soldiers, I would have praised your bravery. But you used the people of Dayu to threaten the crown prince of my Northern Ji country. Don't you think you are being shameless?"

"As citizens of Dayu, we must be prepared to sacrifice for our country at any time. If we can use our lives to gain the permanent submission of the Northern Ji Kingdom, that would be their honor!"

Lin Pingyuan's arrogant words almost made Han Qingyun laugh.

"Is it for the country, or for your own merits, Lin Pingyuan? In your eyes, everyone else is an ant except you. So why is your life more valuable than others?"

Lin Pingyuan was a little angry when Han Qingyun hit the nail on the head. He drew his bow and shot at Han Qingyun.

The arrow was swung away by Li Jiren.

"Lin Pingyuan, if you want to fight, then fight. This prince solemnly says again that the Northern Ji Kingdom is the hard work of all the soldiers and people in Jiyang. We will never surrender to a villain like Li Zhaocai, and we will certainly not retreat because of your despicable and shameless behavior."

Lin Pingyuan asked Li Jiren to commit suicide to thank the world, and the Northern Ji Kingdom surrendered to Dayu and respected Emperor Zhaowen as the emperor.

This person is mentally unstable!

However, it was such abnormal conditions that made Li Jiren feel restrained and he dared not make any progress.

As long as Li Jiren doesn't agree, Lin Pingyuan will kill people. He killed one person yesterday, two people today, four people tomorrow, and so on, until Li Jiren agrees.

If Li Jiren attacked the city, he would kill people in Pingyao Prefecture. Even if he died, he would drag all the people in Pingyao Prefecture to die with him.

Lin Pingyuan was certain that Li Jiren would not dare. People like them always claimed to love the people like their own children. Haha, when the interests of the people conflicted with their own, he wanted to see what Li Jiren would choose.

He smiled coldly at Li Jiren, pushed the two veterans out, wiped his neck, and pushed them downstairs.

"Lin Pingyuan!"

Li Jiren's roar was so shrill and creepy, but Lin Pingyuan walked down the stairs leisurely, leaving Li Jiren to curse outside.

After getting down from the city wall, Lin Pingyuan looked at the tied-up Han Qingshan and Zhao Chun, as well as other people from Fengye Village, and sneered.

Han Qingshan spat and was slapped hard by Lin Pingyuan.

"Lin Pingyuan, I used to think you were a good general, but you're actually a coward who can't even face off against anyone. Shame on you!"

After Han Qingshan finished cursing, he was slapped again.

Zhao Chun used his head to push Lin Pingyuan away: "You bastard, kill us if you dare."

Lin Pingyuan was so angry that he kicked Zhao Chun several times. If they were not still useful, he would have killed all these disobedient people long ago.

"Keep an eye on them, and bring that one and that one to the tower tomorrow."

Lin Pingyuan pointed at Han Hongzhi and Chunniu.

"Lin Pingyuan, if you want to kill someone, kill me. You killed a child, and you're not afraid of retribution."

The people of Fengye Village cried bitterly, but they could do nothing to Lin Pingyuan. When the fifth uncle was taken away, Han Qingshan and Zhao Chun fought with these people. In the end, nothing changed and they even lost themselves.

Lin Pingyuan didn't care about the people's crying. He went straight back to his resting place, wondering how many days Li Jiren could hold on.

Outside the city, Han Dongchen cried bitterly, even though they were far away, he could still hear his father's angry roar of unwillingness.

Han Qingyun and Li Jiren returned to the tent, both of them looking extremely ugly.

"Prince, are you ready to attack the city?"

The city must be attacked. The longer it is delayed, the greater the damage will be.

But Lin Pingyuan is a madman. If he cannot capture the city in the shortest time possible, Pingyao Prefecture may really become a purgatory.

"Does the Prime Minister have any good ideas?"

Han Qingyun shook his head in pain. Those were the people of the city, including his relatives. He really wanted to fly in and kill Lin Pingyuan with a knife.

Li Jiren patted Han Qingyun on the shoulder.

"Prime Minister, three days. If you can't come up with a better solution after three days, we will attack the city."

Han Qingyun nodded, tears starting to fall...
