[Tick-tock, tick-tock.]
[Hidden side quest duration: 52 seconds.]
Lin Mo, “…”
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Yao Guangxiao walked over and asked anxiously.
At that moment, Yao Guangxiao clearly saw a crimson glint in Lin Mo's eyes, and a terrifying killing intent appeared.
"It's nothing!" Lin Mo grinned menacingly.
Then, he raised his head and said loudly, "Whether it's the princess or Lord Sun, I believe they are both just being sentimental. As long as I am the King of Shu of Great Xia, their crimes of treason will be severely punished!"
Therefore, I have decided to execute these two men immediately, by beheading them as a warning to others!
Upon hearing this, the people were in an uproar. They pushed and shoved forward, as if the city gates themselves were shaking.
"Your Highness, how can you break your promise!" Zhao Zhilan questioned.
Yao Guangxiao grabbed Lin's arm, "Your Highness, you mustn't!"
Sun Mian rushed forward and started pointing and gesturing, and even He Xiao said something to him, but Lin Mo just shook his head.
Lin Mo said coldly, "Get out of my way! My decision will not change!"
The crowd was still holding on to something, but Lin Mo had lost his patience. "Imperial Guards, pull away all the bystanders!"
The Imperial Guards obtained through the system have no emotions, no thoughts, and cannot distinguish right from wrong.
They will only unconditionally obey the commands of their host, Lin Mo.
So they strode forward and pulled the crowd apart.
"Bring me my sword!" Lin Mo ordered again.
The Nightmare Cavalryman immediately handed over his sword.
Lin Mo took the longsword, then held it with both hands and said loudly, "As the King of Shu of the Great Xia Dynasty, I hereby sentence you to death."
After speaking, he raised his longsword above his head.
Several Imperial Guards seized Li Hu and his companion, forcing them to kneel and pressing them against the stone slabs of the city wall, their heads and chests exposed.
Li Hu, however, was not too afraid. He sighed deeply, "Sow good seeds, reap good fruit!"
Your Majesty, do not be afraid. On the road to the Yellow Springs, your humble servant will accompany you!
At that moment, his mind suddenly cleared, and he recited the Buddha's words: "Excellent, Ananda. You should know that all sentient beings, from beginningless time, have been caught in the cycle of birth and death because they do not know the ever-abiding true mind, the pure and luminous essence of nature, and instead use all kinds of deluded thoughts..."
Before he could finish reading, Lin Mo swung his longsword and cleanly beheaded Li Hu.
Blood splattered on the city wall, crimson as bright as flames.
Then, he walked behind Wei Maozhen and said, "Your Majesty, I will personally see you off!"
Zhao Zhilan screamed, then she knelt down and sobbed hysterically.
With a swift movement, the Empress's head fell to the ground, rolling to Zhao Zhilan's feet. Zhao Zhilan's vision went black, and she fainted.
The cold wind has stopped and the sun is shining brightly, but the temperature in Beijing seems to be getting colder.

System notifications kept coming in, but Lin Mo felt no joy or excitement.
Suddenly, he felt his mind go blank.
"Your Highness, what exactly did you do?" Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but ask.
Lin Mo glanced instinctively at the corpses of Wei Maozhen and the other man, then at the blood-soaked longsword. "I..."
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, glared at Yao Guangxiao, and said, "Traitors shall be killed without mercy!"
After speaking, Lin Mo turned around and strode away without looking back.
