Hearing this, Baili Mingyue was not annoyed. Instead, she chuckled softly. This girl was really not willing to take the loss at all. "Little girl, why didn't you listen to this king and stay in the General's Estate?"
"What do I do? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the His Majesty the Regent. I'm not related to the Regent, so why should I listen to you?" Hong Zhong tugged the backpack on his back. "Besides, who do you think is afraid, I am not. His Majesty the Regent, if there's nothing else, goodbye!" Goodbye, and we'll never see each other again!
With that, he turned around and left.
He actually called her little girl? How was she young?! Alright, compared to the Regent, who wielded great power, I am indeed still a little young at the age of 15!
Thinking back to the scene just now, Hong Zhong was indeed a little afraid in her heart, but she was such a person, the world was vast, the face was great, and the most important thing was that she had already labeled Baili Mingyue as someone who had died a long time ago. At this time, how could she admit that she was afraid of something that would cause her to lose face?
Looking at her back, Baili Mingyue's heart sank, frowning slightly: "Girl, don't you want to know why I brought you here?"
Hong Zhong stopped, she did not turn her head, but looked around at this place that resembled a plaza, borrowing the moonlight she saw that it was extremely spacious, and there was not even a big tree here, could this place have some sort of special meaning?
"I don't want to know!" A resolute and decisive answer.
She did not care where she was, she only wanted to leave quickly, so she had no mood to waste time with this "Lao Nanren"!
"This is the Meridian Gate!" Baili Mingyue spoke indifferently, her gaze as beautiful as clear light seeing Hong Zhong's footsteps pause, before she continued: "That's the place where the prisoners under extreme punishment are to be executed!"
The afternoon gate was the ancient execution grounds!
This knowledge caused Hong Zhong's expression to change, and she inexplicably felt a chill on her back. She turned around and walked to Baili Mingyue's side with large strides, and got very close to her. She swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and spoke with a slightly trembling heart: "You, why did you bring me here?"
"Naturally, it's to let you see this afternoon." When she saw the obvious doubt in her eyes, she turned around and walked towards the wind with her hands behind her back. As she walked, she opened her mouth, "This king has heard that you followed the Red General to war since you were young and that there were corpses all over the fields since you were young. I have seen them ever since you were young, and have seen them stained with blood. It's such a pity that you won't be able to see it once you leave! "
"You … "You …" Hong Zhong immediately chased after him, and in his heart, he remembered a lot. How could this person do such a thing? It was clear that she was noble and cold, as beautiful as a fairy. How could he describe this scene of ten thousand people being slaughtered and their blood flowing like a river? "And he spoke so casually?" You, do you have any sympathy or not? It's fine if you drag me to this damn place in the middle of the night, but you still say you don't know what those things are for. Do you know what you're doing? " Did she know that she was now scared stiff!
Hong Zhong chased in a hurry, and started to criticize Baili Mingyue, and when she saw the look in her eyes, she quickly covered her mouth. What did she say just now?
Ghost things?
This was the Meridian Gate! How many vicious people have been beheaded here since the start of the dynasty! Although Hong Zhong was an atheist that was 21 years old, in such a terrifying place in the middle of the night, it still made Hong Zhong's back turn cold!
Baili Mingyue smiled, but maintained her calm demeanor. There wasn't the slightest hint of fear in her eyes as she continued walking forward.
After following Baili Mingyue out of the spacious afternoon, Hong Zhong finally managed to calm down a little when she saw the faint yellow light shining from the lanterns in the shops on the side of the street. Looking at the goddess-like face of Baili Mingyue, she snappily said, "Could it be that the Regent is stalking this little girl in the middle of the night just to bring me out for a walk in the middle of the night and scare me? Then you're going to be disappointed! This young lady isn't afraid of anything, so how could I be scared?"
"Heh heh, This King is not that kind of person." Baili Mingyue remained as calm and collected as before: "I only wish to see the rare scene of ten thousand people being slaughtered in Shengjing City. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid that this Baili Mingyue would not have met any fate."
"I don't understand what you're saying!" Right now, in Hong Zhong's heart, this person in front of him who was as beautiful as an immortal, had actually used such a punishing method to take revenge on him.
However, he soon became more confused, "What do you mean?" What is not because of me, you will never see it in this life?
"Red House left the capital without permission. If you disrespect the edict, you shall be executed!" Baili Mingyue's jade-like face remained as calm as before: "Although the Red House's military exploits are impressive, and can be said to be above tens of thousands of people in the entire dynasty, but according to the laws of the Southern Qi, your punishment is at least the extermination of three clans. At that time, all the close relatives of the Red House will be implicated."
Hong Zhong's heart thumped loudly. She absolutely did not expect that her good intentions would lead to such a serious consequence. Facing the Baili Mingyue in front of him, Hong Zhong was momentarily speechless.
Looking at Hong Zhong's stupefied expression, Baili Mingyue smiled faintly. This girl should also be a kindhearted master: "Red House doesn't have any close relatives in the Southern Qi, and after the incident occurs, the Red General will definitely use the Gold Medal for Free from Death bestowed by the previous emperor to save you from death. However, the Gold Medal for Free from Death can only save one person." The underlying meaning was that no matter if it was Hong Zhong's dad, or the handsome second brother, or even that big brother whom they had yet to meet, they would all die because of this.
"Red House is a general that oversees the nation. Southern Qi shouldn't be willing to kill such a great general of the border with outstanding military exploits, right?" Otherwise, why would her father be so good? This was also why she dared to leave without permission.
Even if the Emperor is not willing to punish the Red House, how can the political enemies of the imperial court let go of such a good opportunity to suppress the Red House. If you leave the capital and carry out the crime of defying the decree, hundreds of thousands of Red Army soldiers will definitely be implicated, their corpses scattered all over the ground, and their blood flowing like rivers! "
After listening to Baili Mingyue's words, Hong Zhong fell into silence.
Seeing Hong Zhong sink into silence, Baili Mingyue's eyes flashed, "Little girl, have you ever thought about it before? Red Army's soldiers are all people with high places and children. If they were to be implicated and killed, how would the high houses survive, and who would bring up the children in their families?"
