Chapter 314
His voice was filled with tears, and his words were so sincere that they moved people. His trembling tone seemed to want to show everyone all the regrets in his heart. When he was moved, his body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and everyone present was moved, but the complex emotions in everyone's eyes did not dissipate.
There was silence on the land of China, only the breeze blew gently, bringing up some dust.
After a long time, an old man in coarse linen clothes and with a vicissitudes of life slowly walked out of the crowd. His steps were slow but firm, and he was leaning on a shiny cane in his hand. Every step seemed to carry a thousand pounds of strength.
The old man walked up to Caesar, stared at him kneeling on the ground with cloudy eyes, and said:
"Caesar, don't think that a few words of repentance can easily erase the sins you have committed. Over the past year, we have watched our relatives and compatriots fall under the artillery fire of the Xingyao Saint Clan, and our homes have become ruins. Those tragic scenes are still engraved in our hearts."
The old man's voice was hoarse but powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Caesar's conscience.
Upon hearing this, Caesar lowered his head even lower, his body trembled like a sieve, and he just kept muttering:
"I know that I deserve death, I just ask you to give me a chance..."
The old man shook his head slightly and continued:
"You want to survive now, and you have made so many promises. Have you ever thought that when you colluded with the Xingyao Saint Clan, did you have any hesitation for the people of China and Blue Star? When our soldiers fought desperately on the front line, you opened the door for the enemy in the rear. How can you deserve our forgiveness for what you did?"
The people around nodded one after another, and the anger in their eyes was rekindled, and their resentment towards Caesar was beyond words.
The old man glared: "You want me to forgive you, you are dreaming!"
After speaking, the old man snorted coldly, turned around with a cane, and his steps were slow but resolute, and he re-integrated into the crowd.
Caesar sat on the ground, his eyes full of despair, but the desire to survive was still growing wildly in his heart like weeds.
How could he give up? He relaxed on the ground, gritted his teeth and crawled forward on his knees, searching the crowd eagerly, like a trapped beast struggling to death, trying to find a possible chance of survival.
Soon, he saw a young man who looked like a scholar. Although he was dressed simply, he exuded a sense of elegance and his eyes were clear and firm.
Caesar rolled over and crawled to the place, and knelt down again with a plop. He clasped his hands together and cried:
"Sir, please help me! As long as you forgive me, I am willing to offer all the rare ancient books I have privately kept. They are all treasures that can open the door to wisdom and help you soar into the sky in the path of learning! Just think about it, with these, you will definitely become a leader in the academic world and be admired by thousands of people."
The young scholar frowned, looked at him with contempt, and said loudly:
"Hmph, you treacherous villain, don't use these external things to tarnish the teachings I have learned and adhered to in my heart. My Chinese learning is for practical use and saving the country and the people. How can I be in cahoots with you, a traitor!"
After saying that, he left with a wave of his sleeves.
Caesar was anxious and panicked, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, and his eyes became more and more flustered.
At this time, he saw a sturdy blacksmith not far away, staring at him with an angry face.
Caesar knelt down in front of the blacksmith as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and kowtowed like pounding garlic:
"Brave man! Please have mercy on me. If you are willing to forgive me this time, I have an exclusive secret recipe for forging magic weapons, which can make your weapons cut iron like mud. With your craftsmanship and this secret recipe, you will be rich in the future. What do you have to worry about your livelihood? You will enjoy endless wealth and glory!"
The blacksmith's eyes were wide open, and he kicked Caesar away with a flying foot, cursing:
"Bah! You dog thing, when the Xingyao Saint Clan was rampant, many brothers fought to the death with the weapons I made, but they died in vain because of your betrayal. Now you want to use these to bribe me, no way!"
Caesar was extremely flustered.
He also saw a young woman not far away who was dressed in coarse cloth but still looked heroic. She was a strong-willed woman with a bit of stubbornness and courage between her eyebrows. At first glance, she was a strong-willed heroine.
Caesar knelt down in front of the woman as if he had found a life-saving straw and kowtowed like a garlic: "Girl! Please have mercy on me. If you are willing to forgive me this time, I know a secret place where countless pearls, jades, silks and satins are hidden. As long as you nod, all these treasures will belong to you. With such a beautiful face and these treasures, you will surely become the most dazzling existence in the world, and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future."
The woman's eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide open, and she angrily scolded: "You shameless man, who do you think I am? When the Xingyao Saint Clan invaded, how many sisters of my Chinese people sacrificed their lives and died.Passionate, willing to sacrifice everything to protect their homeland. And you, as a blue star god, have betrayed the country and now want to bribe me with these vulgar things. Do you really think I am a greedy person? Pah! "
After saying that, he kicked Caesar with a flying kick, and Caesar dodged in embarrassment.
The successive setbacks almost made Caesar collapse, but he still did not give up.
He looked around and found a seven or eight-year-old child looking at him timidly, with ignorance and innocence in his eyes.
Caesar's heart moved, and he rolled and crawled to the child, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and tried to make his voice gentler: "Little kid, can you save your uncle? As long as you say you forgive your uncle, your uncle will give you a lot of fun and delicious things, take you to see the most beautiful fireworks, and make you happy every day, okay? "
The child was frightened by his appearance and took a few steps back. His eyes were red and he cried out in tears: "You are a bad person. My mother said you have harmed many people. I will never forgive you! "
After saying that, he turned and ran towards the crowd, crying as he ran.
Before this, he had believed that with all the tempting promises he had made, he could always pry open the defenses of a few people and find that life-saving straw.
But reality was like a loud slap in the face, shattering his fantasy.
He looked at the pairs of eyes full of contempt and resentment around him, and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
The pictures of making a comeback and regaining respect that he had once drawn in his mind now became absurd jokes.
Every rebuke in exchange for kowtow and beg, every scorn caused by humility, were like a sharp blade, cutting his self-esteem until it was completely shattered.
At this time, Lu Chen's figure slowly appeared behind him.
Lu Chen looked down at this embarrassed loser, with no mercy in his eyes, only coldness and scrutiny.
After a long time, he said, "Caesar, what else do you have to say?"
