In the Jinluan Palace, Xiao Yuanlu's face darkened after hearing this. The young emperor Yuan Lu was more like a frightened little beast at this time, curling back desperately.
Outside the hall, when Yuan An, who was wearing golden armor, walked in, Xiao Yuanlu burst into crazy laughter.
"The country's surname is Hou, the country's surname is Hou. You claim to be unparalleled in loyalty, but you still have your own selfish desires. Your Majesty is still here. The one who dares to wear golden armor must be the new emperor."
"Exactly."
Yuan Tao only answered with two words, then he suddenly moved forward and his fists collapsed. Several secret guards blocking the way were immediately shocked to the point of vomiting blood and falling.
Xiao Yuanlu roared angrily and was about to draw his sword when Yuan Tao raised his leg and stepped on him. He fell to the ground and the golden sword also fell to the side.
"Consumption ghost, you won't survive!"
"You just wanted to control the Young Emperor, but I got there first! You're angry, you're angry!"
Yuan Tao was neither sad nor happy. There was a secret guard who had drawn a sword, but he shattered the sword with his fist and died on the spot, lying on his body.
"Your Majesty, please come here."
Yuan Lu's face was pale and hesitant. He hesitated for a long time and wanted to move forward, but before he could take a few steps, he foamed at the mouth and desperately covered his throat.
After only covering it for a while, Yuan Lu's young body could no longer move an inch and fell straight down.
Yuan Tao trembled and closed his eyes.
On the ground, Xiao Yuanlu's crazy laughter was still shouting.
"Stop arguing, I have given him poison before. Since he recognizes me as his father, he will go on the road together, father and son."
"Yuan Tao, you can't compete with me. When you were alive, you were like a wild dog that had fallen out of favor. You were in panic all day long! Even if you die, it will be the same."
Yuan Tao opened his eyes, his eyes were extremely cold.
"I asked, who remembers you? Among the tens of millions of people in this era, who remembers you? The ancestral tablets outside the inner city will be chiseled down by the people as soon as you die."
"You can only appear in the records of historians with just a few strokes. The crime of committing adultery cannot be pardoned."
"Your people are deeply ashamed and have removed you from the family tree. There is no grave to worship and no relatives to mention you. At most, there are a few wild dogs who endure the stench and feed you."
"Yuan Tao!" Xiao Yuanlu blushed.
Yuan Tao turned around coldly.
"Invite my brother here. Sound the gong throughout Changyang. After two hours, the traitor will be beheaded."
…
Xu Mu did not expect that Yuan Tao would actually ask him to do the murder of the traitor this time. Of course, he understood the meaning.
Let him take this round of fame.
Killing the traitorous prime minister was enough for Xu Mu's name to spread throughout the world.
"Brother Mu, I can't find the man named Chen Changqing. I heard that he took people to the mansions of old traitors and ransacked their homes one by one." Si Hu came over in dismay.
Xu Mu frowned, "Do business first."
"Brother Mu, what's the matter?"
"Behead the traitor."
In less than an hour, after the war subsided, many people, when they heard that the traitor was going to be executed, ran out of their houses in excitement and gathered under the palace.
Some people ignored the interrogation of the officers and soldiers and set off privately made firecrackers against the wind. Suddenly, more and more people followed suit, causing the entire Changyang to fall into a lively joy.
"Behead the traitorous prime minister! No cash will be charged for drinks today!" The restaurant reopened, and Zhou Fu couldn't be happier.
"I won't accept overnight money today, I'm just looking for someone who's destined to be with you." Even the flower girls in the Qing Hall were rare for a moment.
Listening to the sounds outside the palace, Xu Mu's face was silent.
In front of him, Yuan Tao had become older and older and began to cough repeatedly.
"I told you that you are the first to attack Changyang this time. After thinking about it, I will let you do the killing of the traitorous prime minister this time."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Yuan Tao waved his hand and continued to smile calmly.
"I have nothing left for you anymore. Over the years, I have not had much wealth. I only have four thousand Hutang dead men left. You can keep them for now. When the time comes, I will tell Gu Ying and let him Follow you too...ahem."
Xu Mu didn't dare to interrupt and just listened quietly.
"I got angry in the Jinluan Palace earlier and spent some energy. After all, I can't kill Chen Changqing myself. My brother, you can think of something in the future."
"I leave this silver armor to you as a tribute to my brother."
Yuan Tao coughed and lowered his silver armor.
Xu Mu's eyes turned red and he hung his head.
"My brother, change into a new robe, and I will supervise the execution for you."
Yuan Tao stood up with support on his body. The effects of the medicine slowly wore off, and the tips of his originally black hair were suddenly dyed 50% frosty white.
…
Before the palace.
Xiao Yuanlu knelt down on the ground with disheveled hair. He didn't know how much old well water had been poured on him by the people, and even his whole body was covered with frost.
"My brother, go ahead."
With Gu Ying's support, Yuan Tao slowly took his seat. Yuan An, who was standing nearby, looked a little silent.
Xu Mu made a firm fist and walked forward.
"Brother Mu, please lend me your knife."
Xu Mu took it with both hands and took a lot of effort to take the chopping knife out of its sheath. There is no doubt that there is something about the monster brother.
Just raised the knife.
Thousands of people watching immediately cheered wildly. The sound of firecrackers has not stopped yet, and there are still fireworks faintly bursting into the dusk sky.
"Get the wine."
Si Hu hurriedly brought the wine jar.
Xu Mu dragged the knife with one hand and held up the wine jar with the other, and drank a few sips. The feeling of being slightly tipsy made the murderous intention in his chest suddenly spread.
From the border to the inner city, he has been running for his life, rich gentry, dog officials, bandits... chasing him like a lost dog. Fortunately, he stepped out of the fighting and walked out.
This world is so drowsy, if you want to live soberly, you are the other way around.
"Throughout the ages, the punishment of beheading has to wait until three quarters of noon!" Xiao Yuanlu roared angrily.
"Yuan Tao, how dare you let an unknown thief come and kill me! Can he kill me! I, Xiao Yuanlu, am eight feet tall and have a head like a tiger's head——"
"I, Xu Mu, have my head in the sky and my feet on the ground. Do you think I can kill him?"
Xu Mu roared angrily, took a few steps forward, picked up his chopping saber with both hands, and slashed forward——
I saw a flash of cold light, and Xiao Yuanlu's head immediately rolled to the ground bloody. No one collected the body, and several crazy wild dogs rushed into the crowd, quickly took the head in their mouths, and fled for two or three miles.
Xu Mu gasped and returned the cleaver coldly.
Not long after, the crowd of onlookers suddenly burst into cheers and cheers. The surrounding soldiers of the National Salvation Army also looked up and shouted.
"General Xu is mighty!"
"This is Zui Tianxian's little boss, who will kill the traitor with one strike!"
Not listening to those cheers, Xu Mu abandoned the knife, turned around and walked back. When he saw Yuan Tao's old face again, he couldn't help but choked up in his voice.
"H-Master Hou, Xu Mu is fortunate to have lived up to his command."
"Well done...ahem." A joyful smile appeared on Yuan Tao's old face, "Don't be surprised. I originally wanted to give you a death ceremony, but I don't have the strength."
"Also, Gu Ying, it's dark, why don't you turn on the lamp? I want to hold a candlelight night talk with my brother."
It was just approaching dusk, but not dark yet. Xu Mu gritted his teeth. It was obvious that Yuan Tao's eyes had become cloudy and oozing with dirty blood.
"Master Hou..." Gu Ying knelt down.
Countless National Salvation Army soldiers nearby also knelt down one after another when they saw Yuan Tao's old appearance. Thousands of people also howled and knelt down.
The sound of sorrow moved the sky.
