"Always be on guard against others!" There was suddenly a hint of murderous intent in Xie Jingrui's eyes.

Liu Yueru noticed that something was wrong with Xie Jingrui, reached out and took his hand and said, "My lord, today's situation is dangerous. If it weren't for Master Jiang's help, I'm afraid I..."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. I won't let you be labeled ungrateful." Xie Jingrui said in a gentle voice.

The carriage passed by the execution ground.

The execution ground was blocked by a crowd of people.

The noisy sound attracted Liu Yueru's attention.

She gently lifted the curtain and glanced at the execution ground from a distance.

Just one glance and Liu Yueru's face turned pale instantly.

There was a person tied up at the execution ground, her clothes had been stripped off and her upper body was covered in blood. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the person's flesh had been cut off piece by piece.

The people below kept cursing at the person on the execution platform, and every time the lingchi hand cut off a piece of the other person's flesh, the people below cheered.

The person on the stage didn't even cry out in pain, he just opened his mouth slightly.

But his eyes were staring at Xie Jingrui's carriage with resentment.

Xie Jingrui lowered the curtain and said to Liu Yueru in a low voice, "Don't look at it if you don't feel comfortable."

Liu Yueru's face turned pale as paper, and she belatedly asked, "That person, is it Ye Zhiwan?"

Xie Jingrui nodded slightly; "She intentionally used poison to manipulate the people and some officials in an attempt to gain power. This is a terrible crime, and this is her punishment."

"We have a few Gu corpses among the things Ye Zhiwan brought back! Fortunately, they were discovered in time. If they were released, I'm afraid the people of Kyoto would be in trouble."

Liu Yueru thought that Ye Zhiwan was just resentful of her for taking Xie Jingrui away from her and wanted to find an opportunity for revenge.

But, I never thought that she had such big ambitions.

These are just the beginning of her plan. If she can gain more power through this, she wouldn't even dare to think about sitting on the throne.

"Do you know why the people of Weiyang Country are so infatuated with Ye Zhiwan?" Xie Jingrui asked.

Liu Yueru sorted out her thoughts and explained, "You mean, all her status was gained through such means to gain the support of the people? It also includes the large amount of things that the Crown Prince of Weiyang gave her back to Kyoto before his death?"

"Yes, the farewell team was very large at the beginning, and many of them were powerful people in Weiyang Country."

"It's just that those people died inexplicably on their way back to Kyoto. I sent people to investigate. They didn't die in a normal way. Most of them died from skin ulcers. When our people went to investigate, only a skeleton was left."

Outside the carriage, there was a sudden unwilling roar.

Ye Zhiwan screamed at the horse they were on in a shrill and crazy voice, "Xie Jingrui, is this how you treat your savior?"

"Do you dare to come down and see me, and see how they tortured me?" Ye Zhiwan laughed crazily towards the carriage while speaking.

She smiled, and the blood from the wounds on her body kept flowing.

Most of the flesh on the upper body was cut off.

Xie Jingrui took off his cloak, put it on Liu Yueru, and put the hat on her.

The wide brim of the hat covered her face.

Xie Jingrui then slowly spoke, "Let's go. It's time to make her realize the lies she has told me all these years."

Liu Yueru was a little hesitant.

Xie Jingrui's voice continued to ring in my ears; "If you are afraid, just lower your head and don't look at anything."

Ye Zhiwan's voice was still frantic outside, constantly provoking; "Aren't you the God of War? If you have the guts to let yourself be tortured to death, why don't you dare to come out and face me?"

"If I hadn't saved you, you would have died in the hunting grounds. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have saved you."

"Have you forgotten everything? When you were little, you always followed me around, calling me sister, ...

"Ah!" Ye Zhiwan's sharp wail was heard again.

Her face was distorted and she stared at the carriage.

Two people will come down soon.

Xie Jingrui gently carried Liu Yueru down from the carriage.

This scene.

This was undoubtedly a stab in Ye Zhiwan's heart.

Her eyes became increasingly bloodshot as she stared at Xie Jingrui. "Xie Jingrui, it hurts so much, ah!"

"Please, let them give me a quick death, a quick death!"

"Ah!" Ye Zhiwan screamed continuously.

Xie Jingrui subconsciously held Liu Yueru's hand tightly.

Then, his sharp eyes fell on Ye Zhiwan.

"What you have done is enough to torture you ten times. Don't bring up the past favors, such as life-saving benefactors. You have taken on the favors of so many people, so you should return it."

Ye Zhiwan looked at Xie Jingrui in disbelief; "What do you mean?"

Xie Jingrui pulled Liu Yueru's hand and revealed the red mole on her wrist.

Ye Zhiwan's face changed drastically. She remembered that Xie Jingrui had asked her about the thing on her wrist.

I made a fake one at that time and that's how I got away with it.

Now that he sees Xie Jingrui, he knows that it was Liu Yueru who saved him back then.

Laughing and crying towards the sky.

“Hehehe…”

"Is that why you were so cruel to me?"

"You deserve it." Xie Jingrui said coldly and turned around and left.

"She wants to bite her tongue to commit suicide!" Ling Chishou suddenly exclaimed.

"Stuff something in your mouth!"

There was a strange sound behind me.

Xie Jingrui took Liu Yueru and left without looking back.

The carriage had been moving for quite a while before Liu Yueru realized what was happening and asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

"You'll know when you get there." Xie Jingrui smiled mysteriously at Liu Yueru.

The carriage traveled on the path for a long time.

Then it slowly stopped.

Xie Jingrui was the first to get off the carriage.

He raised his hand and picked up Liu Yueru.

As soon as I got off the carriage, a gentle autumn breeze blew, bringing a slight chill.

Liu Yueru raised her hand and gently gathered her cloak.

What hits you in the face is the smell of earth, mixed with the faint fragrance of grass and trees.

Looking at the large area of ​​ginkgo trees with yellow leaves in front of me, they appear particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

Liu Yueru took a few quick steps and found herself among the yellow ginkgo trees, forgetting everything.

Xie Jingrui followed closely behind, took her hand, and walked into the long path.

At the end of the road is a mountain wall.

Xie Jingrui raised his hand and touched the side of the gable, found one of them, and pressed it hard.

The mountain wall in front of them suddenly showed a road.

Liu Yueru looked at the situation in front of her in some surprise.

Xie Jingrui raised his eyebrows and smiled; "Follow me."
