Murong Li was learning swordsmanship from Jing Liu, but there wasn't much progress. Murong Li also gradually accepted that Jing Liu was touching her, and she didn't hate it anyway.
Under the sun, a red dress and a white dress are intertwined. The hand in the white sleeve gently holds the hand in the red sleeve. It looks harmonious and gentle.
"Jing Liu, why haven't I made any progress?" Murong Li pouted and asked. After practicing for these days, she still felt that there was no progress at all.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jing Liu took her hand and turned it suddenly, pointing the tip of the sword at him. Murong Li glared, quickly threw away the sword, and frowned: "What are you doing?"
Jing Liu had a smile in his eyes, shook his head, and said, "Take your time."
Murong Li: "..."
At this time, the boy ran over again panting, looking at Murong Li and Jing Liu, there was no trace of disdain in his eyes that they had broken sleeves, but instead he was envious. He really felt that they were a perfect couple.
Therefore, for a long time, the boy couldn't bear to disturb the beautiful lady who was holding hands with each other.
"What's wrong?" Sensing the arrival of the boy, Murong Li let go of Jing Liu's hand and asked.
When Murong Li asked him, the boy told him what happened.
Murong Li couldn't help but frown when she heard what the boy said. It turned out that noon was coming, Yan Cheng was beheaded in the street, and Emperor Xuanyuan asked her to go to the execution ground with him.
Murong Li pursed her lips, really not wanting to go, and looked at Jing Liu.
So he decided to go, put on his robe and left, but was pulled by Jing Liu behind him. Murong Li turned to look at Jing Liu in confusion, but Jing Liu kept pulling him out of the general's mansion.
Always holding hands with Jing Liu... walking in the sunshine...
If you look at it like this, you will feel very romantic, but they are walking towards... the execution ground...
Walking to a place where people are beheading! No matter how you look at it, it’s not romantic, no matter how you look at it, it’s terrifying...!
Along the way, the two of them held hands and received various looks from the people on the road, including contempt, disgust, and...all kinds of looks.
In short, there are only things you can’t think of, and there are no eyes that they don’t have!
Murong Li's mouth twitched, while Jing Liu looked calm.
When they walked to the execution ground, the place was already full of people, including officials, guards, and ordinary people... People formed a circle, and Murong Li frowned. How could she squeeze in with so many people?
She coughed lightly a few times, and the others turned to look at her in confusion. When they saw it was her, they all looked at each other and made way for Murong Li.
"General Shang, please." Those who gave way all said this sentence.
Murong Li blinked, now the name General Shang is so useful? She gave way to him before she said anything!
Okay, that’s really great!
Pulling Jing Liu, the two walked hand in hand along the cleared path. As soon as they entered, they saw Prime Minister Yan kneeling on the ground in prison clothes with a wooden sign stuck behind his back.
At this time, Prime Minister Yan's face was pale, and even his hair had turned a lot whiter, as if he had aged overnight.
The Prime Minister's mouth was still stuffed with paper, and it seemed that he had not taken it out from his mouth since yesterday.
She turned her eyes and looked at Yan Chen who was standing not far away. Yan Chen didn't have any emotion at all and just looked at Prime Minister Yan who was kneeling in the execution ground and was about to die.
It was unimaginable that the person who was about to be beheaded would be Yan Chen's father.
Prime Minister Yan, who was kneeling on the execution ground, was extremely quiet at the moment. He looked at Yan Chen in the distance with no trace of expression in his eyes, which were completely gray.
Murong Li's heart suddenly tightened, and she held Jing Liu's hand tightly with both hands.
All the people threw eggs and rotten cabbage at Prime Minister Yan, and they kept scorning Prime Minister Yan as a traitor! The people were excited and hated Prime Minister Yan's behavior.
Prime Minister Yan's face and body were still covered with rotten eggs and rotten cabbage, but his expression remained unchanged and his eyes stared at Yan Chen blankly.
Murong Li understood that it was a kind of despair, a kind of disappointment, and a kind of relief.
"At three quarters of noon, behead!" The warden threw down the beheading card, and the executioner took a few sips of wine, sprayed it on the knife, and with one swing he was about to chop off the head of the prime minister.
"Slow down." Murong Li said, stopping the executioner's knife from cutting off.
Everyone looked at Murong Li in confusion, completely confused as to what Murong Li was going to do.
Murong Li ignored everyone's looks, let go of Jing Liu's hand, climbed onto the stage, walked in front of Prime Minister Yan, squatted down, and looked into Prime Minister Yan's dull eyes.
She slowly stretched out her hand and took out the ball of paper from Prime Minister Yan's mouth.
"Is there anything you want to say to someone before you die?" Murong Li slowly opened her lips and said.
Prime Minister Yan's gray eyes suddenly lit up, a little in disbelief. He swallowed his saliva, blood flowed from his dry lips, and his eyes were filled with gratitude.
Murong Li pursed her lips and walked slowly down.
She walked back to Jing Liu and held Jing Liu's hand. Although it was a cold hand, Murong Li felt very warm.
Prime Minister Yan looked at Yan Chen who was standing not far away with trembling eyes, and begged: "Chen'er, can you come to my father's side?"
Yan Chen was startled and looked back at Murong Li.
Lips pursed into a tight line, Yan Chen hesitated in place for a long time. Looking at Prime Minister Yan's pleading look, Yan Chen frowned and walked over with heavy steps.
Walked up to Prime Minister Yan.
When Yan Cheng saw Yan Chen coming over, his face lit up, and he staggered to the point where he was a little unsteady on his knees.
Prime Minister Yan looked at Yan Chen expectantly, with mixed emotions in his eyes. It was his son who betrayed him. Although he couldn't believe it, the fact was before his eyes. Even if he was betrayed by his own son, he could not hate his son.
.
The only thing I hope now is that Yan Chen will get well.
"Chen'er, hello, my father is relieved." Prime Minister Yan said sadly.
Yan Chen narrowed his eyes lightly, and after listening to Prime Minister Yan's words, he said, "Have you finished?"
As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Yan froze on the spot and burst into tears.
Seeing Prime Minister Yan shed tears, Yan Chen was a little impatient and walked straight away. Prime Minister Yan looked at Yan Chen's back in a daze.
Seeing this scene, Murong Li had only three words to say to Yan Chen: Not a human being!
How could he turn a blind eye to his father like this? Fortunately, his father didn't hate him, but cared about him. However, caring for him resulted in this result.
"cut!"
With one order, Prime Minister Yan's life ended here.
Seeing Prime Minister Yan's head fall to the ground, many people screamed. However, Yan Chen's expression remained unchanged. He just kept looking in the direction of Murong Li thoughtfully. No one could understand what he was thinking at the moment...
