In the Jinluan Palace, Xiao Yuanlu's face turned dark after hearing this. The young emperor Yuan Lu was more like a frightened little beast at this time, curling back desperately.
Outside the hall, when Yuan An, who was wearing golden armor, walked in, Xiao Yuanlu burst into crazy laughter.
"The country's surname is Hou, the country's surname is Hou. You claim to be unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, but you still have your own selfish desires. Your Majesty is still here. The person who dares to wear golden armor must be the new emperor."
"Exactly."
Yuan Tao only answered two words, then he suddenly moved forward and his fists collapsed. Several secret guards blocking the way were immediately shocked to the point of vomiting blood and falling.
Xiao Yuanlu roared angrily and was about to draw his sword when Yuan Tao raised his leg and stepped on him. He fell to the ground and the golden sword also fell to the side.
"Consumption ghost, you won't survive!"
"You just wanted to control the Young Emperor, but I got there first! You're angry, you're angry!"
Yuan Tao was neither sad nor happy. There was a secret guard who had drawn a sword, but he shattered the sword with his fist and died on the spot, lying on his body.
"Your Majesty, please come here."
Yuan Lu's face was pale and hesitant. He hesitated for a long time and wanted to move forward, but before he could take a few steps, he foamed at the mouth and desperately covered his throat.
After only covering it for a while, Yuan Lu's young body could no longer move an inch and fell straight down.
Yuan Tao trembled and closed his eyes.
On the ground, Xiao Yuanlu's crazy laughter was still shouting.
"Stop arguing, I have given him poison before. Since he recognizes me as his father, he wants to get together, father and son, and go on the road together."
"Yuan Tao, you can't compete with me. When you were alive, you were like a wild dog that had fallen out of favor. You were in panic all day long! Even if you die, it will be the same."
Yuan Tao opened his eyes, his eyes were extremely cold.
"I asked, who remembers you? Among the millions of people throughout the ages, who remembers you? The ancestral tablets outside the inner city will be chiseled down by the people as soon as you die."
"You can only appear in the records of historians with just a few strokes. The crime of adultery cannot be pardoned."
"Your people are deeply ashamed and have removed your name from the family tree. There is no grave to worship and no relatives to mention you. At most, there are a few wild dogs who endure the stench and feed you."
"Yuan Tao!" Xiao Yuanlu blushed.
Yuan Tao turned around coldly.
"Invite my brother here. Sound the gong throughout Changyang. After two hours, the traitor will be beheaded."
…
Xu Mu did not expect that Yuan Tao would ask him to behead the traitor this time. Of course, he understood the meaning.
Let him take this round of fame.
Killing the traitorous prime minister was enough for Xu Mu's name to spread throughout the world.
"Brother Mu, I can't find the man named Chen Changqing. I heard that he took people to the mansions of old traitors and ransacked their homes one by one." Si Hu came over in dismay.
Xu Mu frowned, "Let's do business first."
"Brother Mu, what's the matter?"
"Behead the traitor."
In less than an hour, after the war subsided, many people, when they heard that the traitorous prime minister was going to be executed, ran out of their houses in excitement and gathered under the palace.
Some people ignored the inspections of the officers and soldiers and set off privately made firecrackers against the wind. Immediately, more and more people followed suit, plunging the entire Changyang into a lively joy.
"Behead the traitorous prime minister! No cash will be charged for drinks today!" The restaurant reopened, and Zhou Fu couldn't be happier.
"I won't accept overnight money today, I'm only looking for someone who's destined to be with you." Even the flower girls in the Qing Palace were very proud.
Listening to the sounds outside the palace, Xu Mu's face was silent.
In front of him, Yuan Tao had become older and older and began to cough repeatedly.
"I have told you that you are the first to do the first thing in this attack on Changyang. After thinking about it, I asked you to do the killing of the traitorous prime minister this time."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Yuan Tao waved his hand and continued to smile calmly.
"I have nothing left for you anymore. Over the years, I have not had much wealth. I only have four thousand Hutang dead men left. You can keep them for now. When the time comes, I will tell Gu Ying and let him
Follow you too...ahem."
Xu Mu didn't dare to interrupt and just listened quietly.
"I got angry in the Jinluan Palace before and spent some energy. After all, I can't kill Chen Changqing myself. My brother, you can think of something in the future."
"I leave this silver armor to you as a tribute to my brother."
Yuan Tao coughed and lowered his silver armor.
Xu Mu's eyes turned red and he hung his head.
"My brother, change into a new robe and I will behead you."
Yuan Tao stood up with support on his body. The effects of the medicine slowly wore off, and the tips of his originally black hair were suddenly dyed 50% frosty white.
…
Before the palace.
Xiao Yuanlu knelt down on the ground with disheveled hair. He didn't know how much old well water had been poured on him by the people, and even his whole body was covered with frost.
"My brother, go."
With Gu Ying's support, Yuan Tao slowly took a seat. Yuan An, who was standing next to him, looked a little silent.
Xu Mu made a firm fist and walked forward.
"Brother Mu, let me lend you a knife."
Xu Mu took it with both hands and took a lot of effort to unsheath the chopping knife. There was no doubt that it belonged to the monster brother.
Just raised the knife.
Thousands of people who were watching immediately started cheering wildly. The sound of firecrackers was far from stopping, and there were still fireworks faintly bursting into the dusk sky.
"Get the wine."
Si Hu hurriedly brought the wine jar.
Xu Mu dragged the knife with one hand and held up the wine jar with the other, and drank a few sips. The feeling of being slightly tipsy made the murderous intention in his chest suddenly spread.
From the border to the inner city, he had been running for his life, with rich gentry, dog officials, bandits... chasing him like a lost dog. Fortunately, he stepped out of the fighting and walked out.
This world is so drowsy, if you want to live soberly, you are the other way around.
"Throughout the ages, the punishment of beheading has to wait until three quarters of noon!" Xiao Yuanlu screamed angrily.
"Yuan Tao, how dare you let an unknown thief come and kill me! Can he kill me? I, Xiao Yuanlu, am eight feet tall and have a head like a tiger's head——"
"I, Xu Mu, have my head in the sky and my feet on the ground. Do you think I can kill him?"
Xu Mu roared angrily, took a few steps forward, picked up his chopping saber with both hands, and slashed forward hard——
I saw a flash of cold light, and Xiao Yuanlu's head immediately rolled to the ground bloody. No one collected the body. Several crazy wild dogs rushed into the crowd, quickly took the head in their mouths, and fled for two or three miles.
Xu Mu gasped and coldly returned the cleaver.
Not long after, the crowd of onlookers suddenly burst into cheers and cheers. The surrounding soldiers of the National Salvation Army also raised their heads and shouted loudly.
"General Xu is mighty!"
"This is Zui Tianxian's little boss, who will kill the traitor with one blow!"
Not listening to those cheers, Xu Mu abandoned his sword, turned around and walked back. When he saw Yuan Tao's old face again, he couldn't help but choked up in his voice.
"Hou, Mr. Hou, Xu Mu is fortunate to have lived up to his fate."
"Well done...ahem." A joyful smile appeared on Yuan Tao's old face, "Don't be surprised. I originally wanted to give you a beheading ceremony, but I didn't have the strength."
"Also, Gu Ying, it's dark, why don't you turn on the lamp? I want to hold a candlelight night talk with my brother."
It was just getting close to dusk, but it was not yet dark. Xu Mu gritted his teeth, and it was clear that Yuan Tao's eyes had become turbid and oozing with dirty blood.
"Master Hou..." Gu Ying knelt down.
Countless National Salvation Army soldiers nearby, looking at Yuan Tao's old appearance, also knelt down one after another. Thousands of people also knelt down with howls.
