Chapter 413 Welcome to the Old Land!

He Xiaohua lay on the ground.

She was among the first group of people to be executed, and because of her special status, she was deliberately placed at the center of the team, the most dazzling position among the death row prisoners.

The camera lens was pointed at her face several times, broadcasting her miserable appearance to every corner of the world.

Death to traitors!

Traitors will not have a good end!
The reason why she lay on the ground was because she could no longer "kneel".

She had suffered the most brutal interrogation and the most inhumane torture, and her spirit had long been gone.

The reason why she is still alive is because the higher-ups let her live and allow her to be publicly tried and executed.

She was ready to die.

To be more precise, she was already dead.

“It’s a pity for those children.”

He Xiaohua thought to herself.

"They should have played a bigger role. They haven't really gotten their revenge yet."

"That child, he will definitely not disappoint us, right?"

"He is the general's son and he will not disappoint us."

Her eyelids felt heavy, but she still tried hard to open them.

She wanted to see the world again.

Then say goodbye.

"This world will never come again."
-
"It's six o'clock, and I'm going to kill someone!"

“It’s starting, it’s starting, why am I so excited?”

"It's not you who was killed, of course you're excited."

"People like this deserve to die, and their entire family should be killed. Oh, they are orphans."

"What a grand scene, a rare grand scene. The last time I saw a prisoner being executed was last time."

"Baby, I don't dare to watch it. I'm afraid I'll have a nightmare at night."

"It's okay. I'll stay with you tonight and wait until you fall asleep before leaving."

"Baby, you are so nice"
-
Six o'clock one.

Shen Wuxiang appeared on the podium of the Empire Square and in front of the national audience.

The huge square suddenly became quiet, as if a magician had pressed the mute button.

This is the power of authority.

With fierce eyes, he looked around and said in a deep voice, "Fellow citizens, I want to tell you an exciting piece of good news."

"Because of the king's kindness, it is proposed to exempt these death row prisoners who are about to be executed from death penalty. After discussion and approval by all members of the Military Commission, it is decided to respect the king's decision."

"But they are criminals and traitors. People who commit crimes must pay a heavy price. The death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of living punishment cannot be escaped."

"So, after discussion, we unanimously decided to strip these criminals of their Phoenix Empire citizenship and exile these 7,330 criminals to Blue Star forever, and never allow them to set foot on the new star again."

"They will no longer be citizens of the Empire, no longer our compatriots and brothers"

"They are our enemies."

"Let us cheer for the Lord's kindness. All honor belongs to the Lord."

There was a moment of silence.

Then, there were thunderous screams from the Empire Square.

"Great, great, they are alive."

"There will be no shooting. They won't have to die."

"The ruler is too merciful. This is a blessing for the empire."

"Long live the Phoenix Empire!"
-
Kill him, and they cheer.

They also applaud if we don't kill them.

Any hot spot is a carnival for fools.

After Shen Wuxiang finished speaking, he left with a gloomy face.

This kind of work of cleaning up the royal family's mess is disgusting every time I do it.

He couldn't refuse yet.

If you receive such a notice temporarily, you must execute it unconditionally.
He couldn't let the king come out in person to explain to the people, and he couldn't just find someone to embarrass himself on stage.

Because he is the person in charge of this case, only if he stands up himself can people's hearts be appeased.

The confidential secretary came forward and asked, "Military Prime Minister, where are you going?"

"Prepare the car and go to Phoenix Palace."

"Yes."
-
Phoenix Palace.

When Shen Wuxiang arrived, Minister of Culture Su Zhenlie, Minister of Finance Sheng Jing, and President of the Supervisory Council Yan Wenli had already arrived.

This is the person at the top of the empire's pyramid and the real controller of this country.

The chief eunuch Chen Fenglei was standing by and serving, refilling everyone's cups with tea.

Seeing Shen Wuxiang coming in, Zhong Daolong nodded at him and said, "Wuxiang, I'm sorry for putting you through this."

Zhong Daolong knew in his heart that such behavior would definitely hurt Shen Wuxiang's face and dignity.

But he had no better choice.

Shen Wuxiang waved his hand and said seriously, "We watched Xiuxue grow up. If something happens to her, we can't just sit back and watch. What does it matter if I suffer a little injustice? I can even go and get her back."

Shen Wuxiang had a very high attitude.

Now that it's been done, let's say some nice words.

If you can't do your job and still make people dislike you, then it's not worth it.

As expected, Zhong Daolong showed a look of relief and said, "When Xiuxue comes back, I will ask her to toast you a few times."

"That's great." Shen Wuxiang nodded and said, "What's the situation now? We have released the person according to their request. When can Xiuxue come back?"

"We have to send people to Blue Star." Zhong Daolong said, "After that, they will send Xiuxue back." Shen Wuxiang knew why the bandits wanted them to send people to the old land.

If they simply let the people go, then when Phoenix returns home, a second massacre will be waiting for them.

They are enemies of public property and there is no place for them on the entire planet.

But Blue Star is different.

It used to be a paradise for human beings, but after the catastrophe, it has become a hell on earth.
It is simply difficult for normal people to live in such a place.

Even if they are alive, they lack food and clothing and the necessary supplies for survival, and life is worse than death.

Acid rain, solar storms, man-eating beasts and man-eating people.
For the spoiled newcomers, living that kind of life would be worse than being shot to death.

However, for those death row prisoners, only by returning to the old land can they have a glimmer of hope.

Even if the imperial family wanted to retaliate, it would be difficult and might come at a heavy price.

Only there can one find true "security".

He frowned and said, "Can you trust it? What if they go back on their word?"

"Are there any other options?" Zhong Daolong asked back.

Shen Wuxiang turned to look at Chen Fenglei and asked, "How is it? Have you found any information about the kidnappers? Do you know who they are?"

"Through the narration of Jiuchongzi's boss Li Hongyu and the video captured by the on-site surveillance, it is proven that the kidnapper is a member of the Sunshine Welfare Home, named Bai Wuxin."

"When he went in to kidnap His Highness, he did not deliberately hide his true identity."

While Chen Fenglei was speaking, he handed the prepared information to Shen Wuxiang.

Before coming to report, he had already made preparations in all aspects.

Shen Wuxiang took the information and looked at it, then asked, "Bai Wuxin?"

"Yes." Chen Fenglei nodded.
"Your last name is Bai?" Su Zhenlie looked suspicious.

"Yes." Chen Fenglei explained, "We suspect he is the son of Tang Li's adjutant Bai Shizhen. But we don't have his genetic information, so we can't confirm it again."

"Bai Shizhen" Shen Wuxiang's eyes were slightly stern.

He knows this man.

Remember this person too.

He was Tang Li's adjutant and would have been doomed.

However, he was saved by his family's protection.

He could obviously live and live well.

However, he did something extremely stupid.

In order to retrieve Tang Li's ashes for burial, he alarmed the patrol team on the Imperial Square. In order not to implicate his family, he chose to detonate his body.

If the story ended here, it wouldn't be surprising.

In other words, it is not so legendary, and people still talk about it today.
After Bai Shizhen died, Bai Shizhen's wife Li Zexian carried the coffin and came to Phoenix Square in front of countless people, wanting to take away Tang Li's bones and a breath of air from the place where her husband died.
Li Zexian was arrested. During the interrogation, the judge asked her why she did this. She said, "My husband is a hero. He did what he should do. He chose to commit suicide to protect us. I can't let him die in such humiliation and obscurity. I want his heroic deeds to be widely known, otherwise everything he did is meaningless."

So Li Zexian was also killed.

In order to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and deter those who secretly supported and sympathized with Tang Li, he was killed using the most cruel ancient punishment of being torn apart by a chariot.

As a result, the death of the couple became legendary.

Countless people are discussing, commemorating, and passing on the story.
To this day, many people still sympathize with the couple.

If there weren't so many people like Bai Shizhen and Li Zexian, the Tang family rebels would have been wiped out long ago.

Unfortunately, it is because of people like this that they are still fighting against them till now.

Obviously, other people also knew the story of Bai Shizhen and Li Zexian, and there was a moment of silence.

"How come Bai Shizhen's son is still alive? And he's moving around so carelessly right under our noses?" Su Zhenlie scolded.

As soon as this question was asked, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Fenglei's face.

Chen Fenglei bowed and apologized, saying in fear: "I have failed in my duties, please punish me, Lord."

"Alright, alright, what's the point of saying this now?" Zhong Daolong waved his hands irritably and said, "Let's do as they ask and send those people to the old land. They are already dead anyway."

"Yes." Chen Fenglei agreed respectfully.

Zhong Daolong's eyes fell on the heads of the three ministers and one institute, and said, "I invited you here to discuss the next plan. We are too passive."
-
Blue Star.

It is now also called old land and ruins.

People living in the dense forest looked up and saw a silver light flash by.

crack.
A Great Shark star disc slowly descended.

The hatch of the Star Saucer opened and then slid down an escalator.

A group of imperial soldiers armed with guns and wearing soft armor rushed out and lined up on both sides of the hatch.

Then, one by one, prisoners in prison uniforms and shackles came out.

One, two, three.
It is so densely packed that it seems like there is no end in sight.

Not until all the 7,000 prisoners came out of the belly of the giant shark did the group of soldiers return to the star disc.

The hatch is closed.

Whoosh!
The star disc quickly rose into the sky and then disappeared without a trace.

When the star disc went away, He Xiaohua opened her eyes and looked around.

Surrounded by mountains and lush vegetation.

The air was filled with the smell of sulfur, and from time to time one could hear the roar of wild animals.
The environment is very bad.

However, they have also encountered worse environments.

On Nova, every day is more dangerous than it is now.

When He Xiaohua was thinking about how to settle these thousands of companions, a shabby motorcycle rumbled towards them.

Everyone was alert and prepared to fight the enemy.

Click.
The motorcycle stopped in front of the crowd with difficulty. The owner took off his helmet, revealing a shocking scar on his face.

He grinned and said, "Welcome everyone to the old land. I am your new friend Wang Tianlong."
