The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1743: Storming the Execution Grounds

"Old Ye, if you say this, then you’re not treating us as brothers. We’ve followed you and are ready for this, but now are you planning to abandon us?"

"Yes, sir. Besides, we’ve already been on Mi Wen’s death list for a long time. Even without you and your wife, she wouldn’t spare us. The Qin Army will not let us go either. Although the world is vast, there’s no place left for us brothers to stand. Instead of living like this, we might as well fight bravely." Xue San agreed.

Ye Shikai led them down this road of no return, whether willingly at the beginning or regretfully now, Ye Shikai should carry them forward. Even if it’s a path of death, Ye Shikai will lead them to die...

Mi Wen wants to publicly execute He Linghan. This is definitely an earth-shaking event, not because He Linghan is famous, but because she is Ye Shikai’s wife, and his military exploits are known by everyone in Linxiang City. So when all the people in the city see this announcement, they will be shocked.

An hour later.

"Sir, the execution platform is heavily guarded, we can only be smart." Xue San used a sand table to arrange the execution platform and nearby buildings. He was right; the execution platform is managed by the government, surrounded by soldiers, not to mention that Mi Wen will certainly bring people to personally oversee the execution. There will be thousands of imperial guard at the scene, possibly hundreds of cultivators, and if Ye Shikai makes a move, they will all rush in, not even talking about whether he can defeat Mi Wen, just dealing with these cultivators will be troublesome enough.

Xue San placed a heap of wooden "little soldiers" on the sand table, densely packed, layer upon layer.

"So many people, impenetrable, how to save her?" Seeing this setup, Man Cang felt anxious. Even if he rushes in, it’s impossible for one person to knock down a few hundred people. On both sides of the street, on the roofs of houses, there are countless archers, anyone attempting to "storm the execution platform" faces a perilous situation.

"Yes, with so many people, doesn’t that work to our advantage?" Ye Shikai suddenly laughed, pointing at the execution platform with a bamboo stick.

"This execution platform is located at the market entrance, usually where many people gather. This time, she wants to execute Ling’er, I imagine no less than fifty thousand people will come to witness. At that time... we can act amidst the chaos." Ye Shikai raised the bamboo stick and directly inserted it into the execution platform at the center of the sand table.

The government office.

"How is it, still eating well?" Mi Wen stood at the door, looking calmly at He Linghan beside the dining table, a table full of dishes, seemingly abundant, yet she hadn’t touched any. Upon hearing Mi Wen’s words, she didn’t respond but just silently gazed at the food on the table.

"Are you here to see me off?" After a long while, He Linghan slowly raised her head and finally spoke.

"Don’t blame me, there’s no grievance between you and me, it’s because of him." Mi Wen turned around, back facing He Linghan, her hands slightly trembling, a flash of different color in her eyes.

Mi Wen’s attitude towards He Linghan was contradictory. Deep down, she didn’t want to eliminate this woman, perhaps out of admiration, but if she kept her, Ye Shikai’s heart would always be on her, and Mi Wen could never enter his heart.

But even if she eliminates He Linghan, would Ye Shikai turn his heart toward her? Mi Wen knew it was impossible, the hatred of killing his wife would only bring hate, not love. But as long as Ye Shikai hates her, that’s enough, he can remember her for a lifetime, never forget her.

"Tomorrow is your death day. Are you not afraid?" Mi Wen asked back. Since being transferred to the government office, He Linghan has always been expressionless. Even when informed she’d be executed tomorrow, her face didn’t show a trace of fear, calm and unfazed.

"I’m not afraid, that day, if it weren’t for him, the villagers in Shangshui Village and I would have died under the Qin Army’s sword. He saved me. Since marrying him, I’ve considered every possible outcome." He Linghan looked at Mi Wen’s somewhat angry and embarrassed face, smiling lightly, "Besides, I believe he will come, won’t he?"

"Correct, for you, he will definitely come." Mi Wen suddenly burst out laughing, a kind of mocking, or self-deprecation. If it were her, Mi Wen, about to be sent to the execution platform, would Ye Shikai risk everything to save her...

The next day, Linxiang City, execution platform.

"I heard today they’re going to execute a special criminal."

"Yes, yes, I know, she’s General Ye’s wife, I’ve heard she’s a peerless beauty."

"General Ye is a hero, but I’ve heard he was convicted of rebellion."

"Indeed, rebellion is a crime that implicates nine generations, that’s why they’re executing Lady Ye today."

"At any rate, General Ye has achieved great military feats, how did he commit rebellion? What was he planning?"

The onlookers discussed fervently, mostly about Ye Shikai and He Linghan. In recent months, battles have been incessant, and after finally winning, the commander of the army, "General Ye," has been convicted of rebellion, with "all members of the family will be executed." What is happening?

At dawn, many citizens had already gathered here. The execution platform was originally in the market, let alone today when they’re executing the dignified Lady Ye.

Imperial guard dispatched from the palace also started arriving, soldiers divided the crowd, leaving a road in the middle empty. Shops and houses on either side are guarded by archers, fully armed, making the people below somewhat frightened.

"Old Ye, Xue San’s men are all ready. Once you make a move, they’ll start the operation." Ye Shikai and Shangguan Jian stood amidst the crowd, people packed tightly everywhere, and Mi Wen couldn’t discover them.

"Good, there’s quite a crowd, but many guards too. Be cautious when taking action." Ye Shikai nodded in agreement.

"Rest assured, as long as you go up and retrieve your wife, the brothers will definitely carve out a path of blood for you."

Everyone waited until noon, and the unit escorting He Linghan slowly approached. Generally, those beheaded publicly are heinous criminals, supposed to be in prison carts, receiving eggs, cabbage leaves, and stones thrown by citizens, beaten black and blue. But He Linghan must have the best treatment, riding in Mi Wen’s lord’s chariot, surrounded by countless imperial guard following, with no curses from citizens along the way. If not facing the execution platform, no one could imagine the person in the chariot facing imminent death...

"Old Ye, look, it’s the imperial guard escorting your wife; they’re here."

"Notify everyone to prepare for action."

"Okay."
