While Empress Cao was furious, Xiao Yunyi frowned sharply and then glanced at the Deputy General behind him. The Deputy General understood and immediately nodded and quietly left the Meridian Gate.
The people at the Meridian Gate witnessed Empress Cao wanting to poison Tan Shiyuan and were instantly silent. Then, they heard a young child's voice suddenly ring in the crowd.
"I'm an orphan of the Hanjiang Prefecture. Back then, there was a drought at my place. My parents both died. If it weren't for Prime Minister Tan, my entire place would have died. Prime Minister Tan is my benefactor. I beg the Empress not to kill him."
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples. Tan Shiyuan's past achievements were quickly recited by the people. The pain and grievances that had been pacified and the kindness that he had received, the scenes of the past appeared in front of them like pages of a book, making people's eyes turn red and their hearts ache.
He was the first to kneel down. "Prime Minister Tan can't die!"
"Yes! Prime Minister Tan is a good person and has done so many good things for us. Your Majesty, please show mercy and spare Prime Minister Tan's life! "
"Please, Your Majesty! Please, Your Majesty! "
Tens of thousands of people bowed and bent their knees like a tide, kneeling together. After Qinxin and Shaoyuan finished speaking, they quickly lowered their heads and also knelt on the ground. They were drowned in the crowd.
Looking at the crowd kneeling in front of her and hearing the tsunami of pleas, Empress Cao was held up in midair by the people's will. The humiliation of being forced to personally order the execution of her elder brother not long ago flashed before her eyes once again. Her overflowing anger caused her fingers to tremble.
"Good!" She gritted her teeth and forced out the words one by one with a cold smile. "That's great!"
At the same time, in a remote alley ten miles away from the Meridian Gate, Ning Shu and Hui Mo could be seen from afar. They lowered their bodies and urged their horses to gather at the entrance of the alley. Behind them, dozens of guards with cotton on their horses followed closely behind. The remaining hundreds of people followed in batches and gathered at the Meridian Gate from other directions.
Ning Shu said, "Is everything done? Is there anyone injured? "
Hui Mo smiled proudly. "Of course! Don't you know how skilled our brothers are? These things are a piece of cake. Don't worry. "
Ning Shu nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. Next is the battle at the Meridian Gate. The Prime Minister is waiting for us there. Xiao Yunyi knew that I was still alive and he knew that I would definitely rush over. Therefore, they will definitely send people to intercept and kill us. This journey is bound to be extremely dangerous, and we will be attacked at any time. We have to be fast! Faster! "
"Well, no problem!" Hui Mo blinked his eyes and waved the horsewhip in his hand. The young man was in high spirits and was unstoppable.
Ning Shu also smiled. Suddenly, her eyelids twitched. An instinctive premonition made her turn to the side. She saw a cold arrow flying through the air, brushing past her shoulder.
Her eyes sharpened as she looked at the rows of hidden soldiers at the end of the alley. She pulled out a sword that she had prepared in advance from the side of the horse and smiled playfully at Hui Mo: "You see, speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao is here. Good things don't come true, but bad things do. We may win or lose this trip. I don't have the slightest guarantee in my heart. If we don't come back, aren't you afraid? "
Hui Mo also pulled out his sword and cut the neck of the first soldier who rushed over. The splashing blood was sprinkled on the back of his hand. He tilted his head and scratched his ear carelessly. "What? Afraid? Hahaha, life is not to live happily. If we don't come back, then we won't come back! Now, I will kill to my heart's content! "
