"Ah! Someone's been hacked to death!" The onlookers shouted in horror when they saw the executioner fall to the ground.
At this moment, Shangguan Feiyun took advantage of no one's attention and threw a grenade. The sound of the bomb explosion made the people tremble with fear. They watched in horror as a pit was blown out next to the executioner and smoke billowed on the execution ground.
During this time, the palace was also bombed.
Changjiang, Gao Xuankai and Zhu Yanduan went to three locations in the palace to drop grenades respectively.
Changjiang went to the palace of the treasury. When the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder and lightning, he threw the grenade in his hand into the hall.
With a loud "bang", a big hole was blown up in the yard of the treasury, and black smoke billowed.
The warriors guarding the main hall were horrified, not knowing what had happened. They ran towards the main hall in panic and saw that the courtyard had been blown to pieces, and the courtyard had been reduced to nothingness and ruins.
Gao Xuankai also successfully threw a grenade at the emperor's bedroom, razing the magnificent palace to the ground in an instant. The bricks and tiles of the hall flew everywhere, turning it into a ruin.
Several warriors and eunuchs were crushed to death under the bricks and tiles. Fortunately, the emperor was not there. He was resting in the concubine's bedroom.
Zhu Yanduan was in the hall of the morning court. Seeing that the sky became abnormal, he threw a grenade into the hall. With a "boom", the hall was razed to the ground and turned into ruins.
In the imperial palace, many halls were bombed beyond recognition and turned into ruins.
The explosion scared the palace maids and eunuchs so much that they ran around screaming and shouting, creating a chaotic scene.
The palace maids, eunuchs, and concubines were in a panic, people were thrown to the ground, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, it was a horrible sight.
The emperor and the concubine also heard the explosion. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their heartbeats quickened, as if something big was about to happen.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened? An unidentified object appeared in the palace and razed the national treasury, Your Majesty's bedroom and the court hall to the ground." A warrior stumbled over in fear, his frightened tone revealing his frightened heart.
"Unidentified object? What's going on?" The emperor clenched his fists, veins bulging, and looked at the warrior fiercely.
"I don't know, it's just that there was a bolt of lightning suddenly from the sky, and after the loud bang, a big pit appeared." The warrior was stared at by the emperor, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead and back. He was so terrified that he didn't dare to look up at the emperor.
Because of that sinister look, he thought he was haunted by an evil spirit.
The emperor is not a demon at this moment, his anger can devour the other party.
"If you don't know anything, what's the use of you?
Investigate for me, and make sure to find out who did this." The emperor raised his teacup and poured the boiling tea directly over the warrior, splashing the scalding tea all over him, causing him to howl in pain.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The warriors grimaced in pain, their eyes filled with fear.
After the samurai left, the emperor comforted the panicked concubine.
On Li Yun's side, the people saw a huge pit and looked at it in disbelief. It was not until explosions were heard elsewhere that they came to their senses. They looked at the sky in horror, afraid that they would be struck by lightning in the next second.
Thinking of the executioner's death, I feel horrified.
"God is punishing us. Princess Jiahui gave us the recipe to cure the plague and saved us from dire straits. She is our great benefactor.
"Not only do we not know how to repay her kindness, we even want to kill her. This is such treason, ingratitude, and revenge. Therefore, the heavens are punishing us with thunder." Suddenly, a civilian screamed, rubbing his hands together in fear, as if he would break the skin.
Especially the sweat on his forehead, which was falling in big drops.
"Yes, it's God who is punishing us. Who made you so ungrateful?"
"Release Princess Jiahui, she is our benefactor."
"Release Princess Jiahui!"
"Release our benefactor, you can't kill her!"
"You can't kill your benefactor!"
The people on both sides of the street rushed towards Li Yun, accusing the executioner and begging him to release Li Yun.
"Sir, what should we do?" The warrior looked at the executioner anxiously.
"Why are you asking me what to do? I don't know what to do." The chief executioner was also at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it.
"Let's wait and see if there are any more thunderbolts." The chief executioner was also very scared now. He was afraid that the people would get out of control and he would not be able to explain to the emperor.
"Okay." The samurai agreed immediately. He was also afraid of something happening and afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would punish them.
The officers and soldiers here agreed that the people over there were not so patient. Seeing that the officers and soldiers did not let Li Yun go, they were afraid that their actions would anger God again, and he would send down thunder again, preventing them from leaving safely.
The people on the street were afraid that thunder would strike again and harm them, so they fled in all directions and the scene was in chaos.
There were children's screams and adults' cries, which made everyone shudder.
When the chief executioner saw people trampling on each other and the scene was covered in blood, he had no choice but to send troops to maintain order.
He was also confused in his heart, not knowing whether he should believe that this was God's punishment on them or just a coincidence.
If it was really because of the intention to kill Princess Jiahui of the Jin Dynasty that angered the heavens and sent down thunder.
For the sake of the people and all the people in the world, he felt that Princess Jiahui should be released.
Seeing that the chief executioner still refused to release Li Yun, Shangguan Feiyun secretly threw another grenade.
The loud bang made the chief executioner realize that the thunder was caused by the execution of Princess Jiahui.
He didn't dare to have any more leniency and immediately stepped forward to untie Li Yun.
"Princess Jiahui, we are sorry! We are the ones who have repaid kindness with enmity. Please forgive us and ask the heavens not to send down thunderbolts again to spare the lives of the people in the world." The chief executioner untied Li Yun and begged for mercy from him in a low voice.
"If I say I can't help you, do you believe me?" Li Yun asked back with a smile.
"I don't believe it. These thunders are all for your support. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't fall for no reason." The chief executioner naturally didn't believe Li Yun's words. If it weren't for her, how could so many thunders fall today.
Not only did thunder fall here, but it also fell in the imperial palace and the residences of many ministers. Thunder would not fall for no reason, that would be against the will of heaven.
"Well, since you don't believe me when I tell you the truth, there's nothing I can do.
As the saying goes, you can’t wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.
If you want to think so, then think so. It has no effect on me anyway." Li Yun saw that the chief executioner did not believe her, and she was powerless to do anything.
Li Yun was untied and shouted to the sky: "I'm fine now. Please don't send down thunder anymore. Go back quickly." Li Yun said this in a pretentious manner. By doing this, she confirmed the speculation of the executioner.
This kind of style of trying to cover up the truth is not Li Yun's style. She was just playing a prank and wanted to disgust the royal family of Fuso.
Sure enough, after Li Yun finished speaking, the sky became clear again, completely different from before.
The chief executioner couldn't help but twitching his corners when he heard what Li Yun said. Isn't this just trying to cover up the truth?
