Ever since Chu Tianxiong brought Yan Ze up the mountain, the villagers had been standing guard under the pagoda tree. They did not leave, and even knelt down to pray to the heavens.
The reason why their children were safe and sound was all because Commander Yan had exchanged his life for it. Now that Commander Yan's life and death were unknown, how could they go home in peace?
The villagers were shaken by Yan Ze's actions. This kind of feeling could no longer be expressed with gratitude. They were filled with deep respect for the new ruler of the east.
As a result, after Yan Ze was brought up the mountain, they did not notice when Qin Yiling left. Everyone was stunned on the spot and could not come back to their senses for a long time.
In this world, the poorer one was, the more lowly one's life was. It seemed that the value of a life was innately equal to one's status. The poorer one was, the more worthless one was.
