Chen Lang had no idea whether Sheng Yinping was a spy from Dayan.

What Chen Lang knew was that the spies arranged by Dayan in Shangjing were almost dead.

In the next few days, the entire Upper Kyoto was shrouded in a "white terror", and spies from the Feihu Division could be seen catching people on the streets at all times.

Even in the middle of the night, you could hear screams coming from the streets.

There was also a panic within the wedding delegation. Every time a spy from the Feihu Division came, one or two members of the delegation would fall ill.

Four days later, except for Heibingwei, Chen Lang and He Jinling, all the other members of the delegation were so frightened that they were bedridden.

Chen Lang wanted to go out, but the commander of the guard, Liu Yi, treated him like a prisoner. Not to mention going out, even if he lay on the courtyard wall and took a look outside, he would be scolded by Liu Yi.

After traveling to Dayan, this was the first time that Chen Lang felt so depressed.

Even when I was locked up in Xiao Yu's house before, I had never been so angry.

Just when Chen Lang was at a loss, a savior arrived.

The fourth son of Empress Dowager Xiao, 38-year-old Yelu Zaixian.

Although he was Princess Yongjia's marriage partner, it was the first time for both Chen Lang and Princess Yongjia to see this man.

Yelu Zaixian had a typical Liao appearance, not handsome but not ugly either. However, his eyes were very vulgar and there was not a trace of the aura of a nobleman in his body. If he did not have the title of the Fourth Prince, he would be just a scoundrel on the street.

Originally, Yelu Zaixian did not like this kind of marriage, because in his opinion, ten princesses of the Southern Dynasty combined could not compare to one Sheng Yinping.

But now after seeing Yongjia, Yelu Zaixian felt that this marriage was okay.

The princess of the Southern Dynasty is very beautiful, and it would be nice to marry her home as a vase.

After seeing Yelu Zaixian, Ying'er's desire to escape the marriage became stronger.

She would rather die than marry such a man.

But now I have the opportunity to leave the Honglu Temple and go out for a walk. Even if I feel disgusted in my heart, I have to remain polite on the surface.

Yelu Zaixian didn't expect that Yongjia would be so easy to ask out. He agreed as soon as he asked and walked forward to hold Yongjia's hand, but Ying'er dodged him calmly.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, we haven't gotten married yet, so we still have to observe etiquette." Ying'er said calmly, "Also, when I go out, Special Envoy Chen must accompany me, otherwise it would be impolite."

Yelu Zaixian was slightly displeased and snorted, "You mean Chen Lang, right? Okay, bring him along."

Ying Er bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Your Highness the Fourth Prince."

The three carriages slowly left the Honglu Temple.

In the carriage, Yelu Zaixian said indignantly, "Damn it! These Southern Dynasty people really don't know the importance of things. They're still putting on airs with me at this time."

The personal guard whispered, "Your Highness, should we go to Tianshui Street?"

Yelu Zaixian frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"

The guard said, "Today is the day that the Feihu Division executes Yan State's spies. Let these Southern Yan people see with their own eyes how their compatriots died. They will not dare to put on airs with Your Highness in the future."

Yelu Zaixian's eyes lit up and he said, "That makes sense. You're quite clever."

"Order the convoy to the intersection of Tianshui Street."

Half an hour later, several carriages stopped at the intersection of Tianshui Street.

The accompanying guard knocked on the windows of the two carriages behind and said, "The Fourth Prince has ordered you to open the windows."

Chen Lang had wanted to open the window for a long time, but before, he would be stopped by the guards outside. Now, with the prince's permission, he could finally see what was going on outside.

However, after opening the window, Chen Lang regretted it.

Because he saw a scene that caused his heart to stop.

Ten guillotines were placed on a high platform, and dozens of Yan people were tied up and kneeling on the platform, waiting for the final execution.

As the executioner swung his knife, ten heads rolled down.

Even though they were at a distance, the sticky smell of blood still hit Chen Lang's face.

When the third wave of people were executed, Chen Lang met Manager Yu and the shop assistant.

Both men were beaten beyond recognition, with only half their breath left. They showed no reaction when being dragged, and were simply pressed lifeless on the guillotine.

puff!

The executioner sprayed a mouthful of liquor on the blade and shouted "Drink!"

Raise the knife and chop it down.

Chen Lang quickly closed the car window, grabbed his clothes on his chest with his left hand, his face flushed, the veins on his neck bulged, and breathing became extremely difficult.

He Jinling hurriedly patted Chen Lang on the back to help him calm down.

"Mr. Chen, your health is of paramount importance."

Chen Lang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but it felt like a weight was stuck in his throat and he couldn't make a sound.

He Jinling whispered, "Mr. Chen, I know what you want to say, but everyone outside is Yelu Zaixian's men, so it's better for you to keep quiet."

Chen Lang nodded slightly, then curled up in the corner of the carriage and said, "I want to be quiet."

He Jinling sighed softly: "Okay, I won't bother you."

Chen Lang held his head with both hands, his mouth and throat were filled with the taste of rusty iron, and his body couldn't stop shaking.

At this moment, he finally understood why his third uncle said before leaving that it was God's will that he killed the entire Meng brothers' family.

If there was no blood on his hands and no lives lost, Chen Lang would probably collapse on the spot if he suddenly saw this scene.

Because the person who died was not a stranger, but the shopkeeper Yu, who was still chatting with him a few days ago, hoping to make money through barbecue and let his spy brothers lurking in Shangjing live a good life.

If Manager Yu could not withstand the torture, then his days in Beijing would have entered the countdown.

The business of Hongyanzui is not enough to offset the identity of "spy".

And even without me, Hongyanzui's business can still continue.

The Lu family of Fanyang will definitely not let go of this piece of fat meat.

This is the problem. Manager Yu is dead, but I am alive.

This shows that Manager Yu would rather die than betray himself.

Even the young man who was full of complaints about Dayan did not betray himself.

No matter how much they hate or resent Dayan, it is still their homeland after all.

In the face of the interests of the motherland, they resisted the inhumane abuse of the Liao people.

They are worthy of Dayan, but Dayan is not worthy of them...

As Chen Lang thought about it, tears welled up in his eyes involuntarily.

He didn't want to cry, and he knew he couldn't cry, but he just couldn't help it.

boom!

The carriage door was roughly pushed open, and a guard poked half his head in. After taking a look, he said, "His Highness said that if Young Master Chen feels unwell, he can return to the Honglu Temple. His Highness will send Princess Yongjia back to the Honglu Temple before evening."

Chen Lang quickly wiped his face, turned around and said, "Thank you, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, for your understanding, but accompanying the princess on her trip is something I must do as a special envoy."

The guard sneered and said, "Special Envoy Chen, His Highness hopes that you can be more discerning during the upcoming tour."

"If you are willing to cooperate, you will definitely benefit."
