The moment he appeared, the people paused for a moment, and then they erupted into an uproar. It was as if he was some heinous demon that had massacred the entire city. Thus, they urgently needed to curse him to express their endless loyalty to the imperial court and Great Yue.
Rotten cabbages and rotten eggs were thrown at him. "Go to hell! You're a demon in human skin! "
"A beast in human skin. You deserve to die."
"Great Yue should be ashamed to have someone like you!"
"Didn't you brag that Prince of Nanping is the backbone of Great Yue, the Great Wall of Human Flesh, and that without you, the country would be finished? If you're so capable, why didn't you destroy the enemy country in one go? Instead, you let them invade every year? Could it be that you colluded with the enemy country to make a show for yourself? In my opinion, you're a traitor! "
"Traitor! Traitor! Ever since he came to the capital, there hasn't been a single day of peace in the capital. So it's all because of him! Kill him to appease the people! Kill! Kill! "
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Their mouths were wide open, and their eyes were red with excitement. They were like crows waiting for rotten meat on a tree. Filth from all directions smashed at his feet, robes, and lapels. He truly lost his reputation. In the crowd, there were two or three youths who struggled to squeeze in the middle. They reached out and tried to explain to others, "He's not like this. He's a good person, a very good person!"
"He's done many, many good things in the past. He even redressed our father's grievances. Please believe him!"
But after saying a few words, he was kicked over and almost trampled to death.
Xiahou Qing's buzzing ears faintly recognized a few weak and familiar cries. It was Qinxin and the others. However, he was too far away to walk over. He could only smile faintly and shake his head at them.
"Thank you, but there's no need. Go back and protect yourself. Listen to me. "
Qinxin and the others covered their mouths and cried loudly. However, they were so insignificant that they could only squeeze together and cry helplessly.
The cold-faced guard rudely pushed him forward. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I've brought Xiahou Qing here!"
Cao Hou put down the golden teacup in his hand that was carved with a flourishing peony. He casually raised his eyes and looked up and down at his sorry figure. He narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Why don't you kneel when you see His Majesty?"
Xiahou Qing stood there quietly, neither responding nor replying.
Cao Hou glared angrily: "Impudent! The rebels and traitors simply treated the imperial power as nothing! Men, beat him for me! "
"Understood!"
The guards picked up their metal rods and viciously smashed them down on those perfectly straight knees. The sound of metal and bone colliding rang out. It was a sound that made people feel cold, but it also caused a group of people to cheer.
Xiahou Qing swayed but did not fall.
Then there was another blow. This time, it hit him hard on the left knee.
Xiahou Qing's veins popped out all over his body, but he still held on, refusing to fall.
The executioner was ruthless. "Hey, I don't believe that there's no one who can't kneel in front of Laozi! You're holding on, right? Laozi wants to see how many blows you can endure! "
Then the rods came again and again. Each blow seemed to want to put him to death. Xiahou Qing clenched his back teeth and did not make a sound. His entire body trembled until blood seeped out between his teeth. Even his knees did not stop trembling. However, he still refused to bend down.
"Three, four, five … … ten, eleven … … seventeen, eighteen!"
As the last "eighteen" fell, the unbelievably thin person's chest finally caved in and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. The blood rained far away and sprayed onto the Emperor's chin. The Emperor could not help but tremble from the heat.
