C185 The ignorant are not guilty

The sun was high in the sky, scorching the earth, as if it was trying to evaporate the last bit of water on the ground.

There really was a feeling of the scales of ten thousand watts being like a fire dragon, unmoving and dripping with sweat.

However, ever since Xie Qingrong had been brought out of the Sky Prison, dark clouds densely covered the sky, covering the scorching sun.

It seemed to be an ominous sign?

Wearing a white prison uniform, Xie Qingrong sat within the cage. Her long jet-black hair was casually draped over her shoulders and even though she was extremely beautiful, it was difficult to conceal the paleness and emaciation within.

On the main street of the Mage's Court, there was a sea of people.

I heard that the prisoners in this carriage had attempted to assassinate the life of the current emperor and committed the crime of decapitation. Today, they are going to be sent to the court to behead the people.

A curious citizen asked, "Who are these people? "He's as bold as the heavens, he actually dares to scheme and kill his majesty?"

The person beside him kindly gave him an answer, "This person's background is extraordinary and his identity is extraordinary. It is rumored that her father is Xie Jing, the General Xie who has been guarding the Mo Bei for dozens of years.

The common man was puzzled. "With such a prestigious status, why would he be so preoccupied with plotting against the Emperor?"

"Who knows? It's been said that the Emperor vomited blood on the day of Prince Chen's wedding. Back then, the scene was a mess and I heard it from others as well. " The kind-hearted man explained before turning around and following the other commoners to watch the show.

Xie Qingrong's ice-cold gaze swept over the ordinary commoners who surrounded her. Seeing the various expressions on their faces, she faintly sighed in her heart.

Shang Zhiqing and the rest were mixed in the crowd, their gazes following the carriage as it moved forward.

When Shang Zhiqing saw Xie Qingrong raise his head and lower his head, she was shocked. Her throat tensed a little as she said in disbelief: "Today, Elder Sister Rong is going to be beheaded and presented to the masses, but this Xuanyuan Chen is actually not moving at all?"

Ji Rufeng glanced at the commoners on the main street and noticed that some of them seemed to be disguised. He consoled them, "Prince Chen definitely has his reasons for doing so. Let's wait patiently for a little while longer. If it really doesn't work, then it's not too late to make a move. "

However, Shang Zhiqing did not take Ji Rufeng's consoling into consideration at all. At that moment, her heart was filled with worry and hatred towards Xie Qingrong.

He said with some resentment: "This Xuanyuan Chen, how is he worthy of the Elder Sister Rong's sincere treatment? If it ever falls into my hands, I will definitely teach him a lesson. "

Ji Rufeng helplessly shook his head, this Shang Zhiqing could also be considered to be an intelligent woman, but he had lost his judgement when he met Xie Qingrong.

The two of them looked at each other helplessly, and the only thing they could do was to press one hand on Shang Zhiqing's shoulders, to prevent him from doing something stupid that was out of their control.

With the two men holding onto Shang Zhiqing's shoulders, she snorted in displeasure and turned her gaze back onto Xie Qingrong's body.

As the prison cart headed towards the court grounds, suddenly, many civilians were kneeling on the ground in front of the road. The imperial guards wanted to maintain order, but they were afraid of hurting the lives of these civilians, so they had no choice but to maintain a stalemate with each other.

The leader of the kneeling common folk was the carpenter who helped the displaced citizens build their house when the Nanping was flooded.

His eyes were bloodshot as he knelt at the very front, saying in a loud voice, "This humble one will lead all those who have received the favor of my wife to the capital to especially thank my wife for her kindness that day."

The group of people kneeling behind him suddenly kowtowed, and the little girl that was carried by Xie Qingrong also knelt down, with tears flowing down her face due to the grievance.

Seeing this scene, Xie Qingrong's heart seemed to be ruthlessly moved. She pursed her lips, not knowing what to do.

In her previous life, she seemed to have never seen such a scene. Since she was young, she had always lived a life of slaughter. It was as if she had never experienced such a grateful scene.

All along the way, she had always followed Xuanyuan Chen's footsteps and done things that she had never done before. The effect of the water in the Nanping had left a deep impression on her heart.

However, he didn't know if she would ever have the chance to do such things again.

Although he had always been clamoring to believe in Xuanyuan Chen, what if he failed, what if Xuanyuan Chen failed?

However, there was only death.

What's so good about living? What's there to be afraid of when you die?

He had already died once, so how could he be afraid of dying again?

After thinking through all of these, the anger and depression that had been accumulating in Xie Qingrong's heart for the past few days suddenly disappeared, and her entire being relaxed.

Although his eyes were still indifferent, there was a qualitative change in them.

Ji Rufeng had always been paying attention to all of Xie Qingrong's actions, and seeing that Xie Qingrong was actually able to comprehend herself in such a situation, a sense of admiration unconsciously rose in her heart.

Indeed, he was someone he had his eyes on.

The people of Nanping who were kneeling down had already stood up one by one, retreating to the two sides of the street, giving way to the carriage, although they did not believe that Xie Qingrong, who brought them hope and light that day, would do such an outrageous thing.

However, he could not retreat under the imperial power.

Xie Qingrong slightly raised her head, and inadvertently met with a gaze of praise and admiration. His indifferent gaze met with the other side's praising gaze, and her heart slightly froze.

Following that, she saw Shang Zhiqing and Qi Yun beside him. She pursed her lips and gave a very light smile.

He greeted them.

Although he did not know who the man was, but with such an extraordinary bearing, it looked like he was Qi Yun's good friend, and was probably not some ordinary person. However, it had nothing to do with him.

After greeting him, his gaze shifted away.

But when he accidentally saw Black Turtle's worried expression, Xie Qingrong was startled, and used his eyes to ask Black Turtle.

"Why are you here?"

Black Turtle also used his eyes to communicate with Xie Qingrong.

"Mistress, everyone is here. They are all worried about you."

Xie Qingrong received the meaning of Black Turtle's gaze and looked around. She discovered that, sure enough, those sixteen youths were spread out among the commoners all the way to the sixteenth and first level of the Profound realm.

He looked at himself with a worried expression.

Xie Qingrong's heart warmed, and she retracted her gaze.

In Black Tortoise's heart, he kept in mind what Shen Haoxuan had told him yesterday. He firmly believed that the prince would save his master at the last moment, and did not make a move.

However, just now, when he heard the people around slandering and insulting his master, an uncontrollable rage rose in his heart. His master had traveled so far to find the medicine, but was taken advantage of by Xuanyuan Jing and Ye Wenfu, it was already an extremely unfortunate thing.

Why were these people so indiscriminate and unable to recognize the true faces of the bad guys?

Although he felt aggrieved, he could only clench his fists, and could not do anything to harm the commoners.

After all, the ignorant are innocent.
