Ling Yi shuddered, then tightly grasped Chu Mu's hand: "I have three long-cherished wishes. The first one has finally come true... The second and third are also getting closer."
Ling Yi's eyes were deep and complicated. Chu Mu didn't ask him what his wish was, but it was definitely not a good thing anyway.
Chu Mu looked around: "You let a lot of people in today."
The place where they were was the main gate into the Xia capital.
Ling Yi asked the soldiers to clear the front and back, and enclose a spacious space with wooden fences.
The Royal Guards formed several rows of human walls to block the large crowds of civilians.
"Yes, I also ordered them to eat their fill before coming back," Ling Yi led Chu Mu to the top of the city wall. "If anyone vomits later, I will make him eat it back for being disrespectful in front of the emperor."
“…”
"Why are you doing this?" Chu Mu really admired Ling Yi's mental state.
The wind was strong on the tower. Ling Yi took off her cloak and put it on Chu Mu: "Humph, I remember every one of these people's faces."
Chu Mu thought of Chao Mu who was pelted with stones and insults by the people in the original plot, and he understood.
"Okay..." Compared to the time when she massacred all of Da Xia, this was already considered as Ling Yi's mercy.
"My Lord," an armored general knelt on one knee and kowtowed toward the city wall, "the time has come. May I proceed with the execution?"
Ling Yi glanced at the sun in the sky: "Let's get started."
At the sound of the gong, the strictly guarded soldiers opened the wooden fence.
People rushed in.
"What's going on?"
"Why did you suddenly call everyone to the city gate?"
"Oh, stop talking. I was taking a shit when two officials suddenly rushed into my house and stuffed two big steamed buns into my mouth without saying a word. I was still sitting on the toilet!"
"You're still lucky. I was just pulling a woman to have sex again when the officers and soldiers dragged me off the bed and stuffed me with steamed buns."
"What's going on?"
Chu Mu heard the people's discussions and glanced at Ling Yi speechlessly: "You are not really going to feed Mantou to each family, are you?"
"Of course." Ling Yi answered as a matter of course.
Chu Mu understood.
On the one hand, they were feeding steamed buns and arresting people to watch the execution, and on the other hand, they probably took the opportunity to conduct another search.
As for who to search for, that goes without saying.
Chu Mu was already able to keep his mind empty in front of Ling Yi, and it was the same now.
His eyes seemed to be wandering casually among the crowd without focus, and his face was very calm.
Ling Yi watched with him quietly for a while, and heard nothing except the sound of the wind on the city wall.
"Chu Chu isn't complaining anymore?" Ling Yi rested her chin on Chu Mu's shoulder, "Or are you deliberately guarding against me?"
"???" Chu Mu gave him a puzzled look. "I was complaining in my heart because I couldn't say it out loud. Now I've told you everything I wanted to complain about. You're such a weird person!"
As he spoke, Chu Mu slapped his hand away as if he was throwing a tantrum.
Ling Yi's eyes lit up instantly. He hugged Chu Mu even tighter and rubbed his face affectionately: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Please forgive me, okay?"
…
"asshole!"
In the bustling crowd, a fortune teller dressed as a Taoist priest was holding a flag in his hand and staring at Ling Yi on the city wall with gritted teeth.
"Calm down." A masked woman was standing next to him. The two seemed to be strangers to each other, but they were talking secretly at this moment.
The fortune teller suppressed his hatred and followed the crowd forward.
The masked woman sighed secretly, and anger also appeared in her eyes which showed a little trace of time.
How can I not be angry?
But no matter how angry he was, he had to be patient.
If he takes a wrong step, not only he, but also the lives of all his brothers and that unpleasant-looking man with expressionless face will be destroyed.
If you don’t succeed today, your chances will be slim in the future.
The masked woman touched her wrist and calmed down.
The crowd was confined to an area and stood still.
The Royal Guards took the picture album and pulled some people to the most suitable position to watch the execution.
Taoist priests happen to be one of them.
"Sir, what does this mean?"
While pretending to be panicked, he glanced worriedly at the masked woman who was still in the crowd.
No one from the Imperial Guards answered his question. They just unsheathed their swords and said, "Go forward. If you dare to retreat, I'll chop you off."
The fortune teller shrank his neck and said, "Oh, I dare not, I dare not!"
On the city wall, Ling Yi's gaze swept over everyone one by one, finally stopping on the masked woman.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise:
"That's strange. Didn't your uncle already know that you are his biological nephew? Why did he bring a group of assassins here?"
Chu Mu naturally noticed Akron and his group. His eyes inadvertently turned from Akron and the Taoist priest beside him:
"Based on Xu Zhi's past behavior, Akron must have thought you were going to bully me."
"That's true," Ling Yi smiled faintly, "I'll ask my uncle to come up and explain it clearly, so as to avoid any misunderstandings later."
Chu Mu said lazily: "It's up to you."
…
When Akron was invited to the city wall, the Taoist priest and the paralyzed Old Seven at the foot of the wall both breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's done!"
——That’s not right. It can only be said that it is half successful.
The other half depends on whether Akron can successfully deliver the things to Chu Mu.
"Common people——"
"Please stand up."
Ling Yi did not show any warmth just because the other party was Chao Mu's uncle, and still looked unapproachable.
"Akron, the time for execution has come. I won't say more for now. I'll explain everything to you after we execute that impostor."
Akron fixed his gaze on Chu Mu: "Chao Chao..."
"Don't worry," Ling Yi hugged Chu Mu like a big baby, "There is a little misunderstanding between us, please be patient... Come, please take a seat."
Akron sat down reluctantly, and at Ling Yi's signal, he made a stop gesture to the assassins below.
"How strange," Ling Yi blew into Chu Mu's ear, "Nan Mo didn't show up for such a rare occasion?"
Chu Mu didn't respond to him, having no idea how to answer.
"Did he die from his injuries?" Ling Yi whispered to Chu Mu in an intimate manner, "Or did he suddenly find a way to block my detection?"
Chu Mu rolled his eyes: "Do you think everyone here is a time traveler? You can always find someone who can deal with you? Damn, doesn't that make me look useless?"
"Hahaha." Ling Yi laughed happily, her chin tapping on Chu Mu's shoulder. "How can Chu Chu be useless? My wife is going to be the king of Da Xia soon. I will skin anyone who dares to speak loudly to you."
"Thank you so much."
"Hahaha--"
When Ling Yi laughed out loud with her face up, Chu Mu noticed that Akron raised his hand quietly.
What was standing there straight was actually a middle finger!
