Chapter 2570 Beheading for Public Display
Wu Leqian could guess what she was worried about at the moment, and the blood surged in his heart, he raised his left hand, pointed his thumb at the moon in the sky, and said solemnly: "I solemnly swear here that I will rescue Yuan Yuedi and his wife first, If you make other big plans, if you break this oath, you will be struck by lightning!"
Ji Yue's heart was shocked!
On the night of the full moon in Jiyue Kingdom, the vow to the moon is the heaviest! No one will violate it. Otherwise, there will be a real danger of swearing.
Wu Leqian is serious!
Finally, there was a little light in Ji Yue's eyes, as if someone who had been walking in the dark night for a long time finally saw a ray of starlight.
"However, Ji Yue, saving His Majesty is indeed extremely risky. We still need to think long-term. I can't guarantee that we will be rescued, but I will do my best!" Wu Leqian stared into Ji Yue's eyes and said earnestly.
Ji Yue nodded slightly. She also knew it was extremely difficult, but after all, there was only hope...
Caiyi was not exposed, and everything in the city was as usual, so Wu Leqian relaxed his vigilance. In order to make Ji Yue happy, he proposed to find an inn in the city to rest for one night before going back.
Behind them, the people who were watching the bustle in the city tower returned in twos and threes. They were discussing the grandness of the ceremony, and they were all in high spirits.
The crown is full of Jinghua, and the people of Sri Lanka are alone and haggard.
Ji Yue didn't want to see this, nor did she want to hear this, she was about to take a few quick steps to avoid them.
But a child's words directly nailed her footsteps!
"Mother, are you going to kill the emperor tomorrow? I want to see, I want to see!"
"Kids don't want to watch such a bloody scene, how about mother taking you to ride a horse tomorrow?"
"No, I want to watch Killing Lord!"
"But that's not suitable for children to watch..."
"My lady, Xiaobao is a boy after all, and he should practice his courage so that he can grow into a man in the future. Besides, it's not something you see every now and then..."
"Yes, mother, I want to be a man! Be a man!"
"Okay, okay, you two will watch it tomorrow, but I don't want to, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares if it's bloody..."
Like thunder!
Ji Yue's whole body froze, almost thinking that she had an auditory hallucination!
She turned around slowly, opened her mouth, and wanted to ask something, but found that her mind was blank.
It was Wu Leqian who reacted faster. He stopped the family who were chatting and laughing, and interrupted: "Tomorrow will kill the emperor? Which emperor?"
"Of course it's the captured Emperor Yuanyue, who else is there? Brother, didn't you hear the announcement from the King?" The man in the family of three asked in surprise.
"We...we thought it was too crowded inside, so we came out early. Brother must have heard everything, so tell us." Wu Leqian is an expert in clichés, and soon chatted with the family. In a few words, the ins and outs of the whole thing have been set out.
It turned out that it was not Jun Liuye who actually presided over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven on the tower, but Jun Liufeng and Hongxiang.
Because Jun Liufeng has been appointed as the Lord of Ziyue City by the King of Huiyue Kingdom, and Jun Liuye is still the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and has no other promotion. It is said that he will lead his troops back to the country soon.
It is natural that the newly appointed city lord would do better things like offering sacrifices to heaven. As for Hongxiang, she is the daughter of the prime minister, and she is considered the most honorable woman here, so she is suitable to be a helper.
After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Jun Liuye took the colorful clothes and announced in public that in order to calm the anger of the people and obey the law of heaven, he would behead Yuan Yuedi and his wife at Xuanyuantai at noon tomorrow.
