Chapter 447 Smile
Zhao Tianming said coldly. Chen Er was not surprised that Zhao Tianming, who was in prison, still knew about what was happening in the outside world.
Given Zhao Tianming's decisive and efficient methods, Chen Er wasn't skeptical if there weren't many people outside. Chen Er turned his head and revealed a friendly smile.
“Lord Zhao Tianming, I am actually very grateful to you. You helped me rise from a first-rank official to a second-rank official, so I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. During festivals, I will burn more paper money for you,” Chen Er said calmly.
However, Chen Er's calm words did not conceal Zhao Tianming's sarcasm at all. Chen Er's words immediately made Zhao Tianming's mouth twitch involuntarily. Zhao Tianming felt that Chen Er was just so annoying right now.
If he hadn't ended up in this state, Zhao Tianming would have really wanted to fight Chen Er. Before long, they arrived at their destination, and the executioners were ready.
This time, Chen Er knew that things were not so simple. He looked at the crowd again, trying to find something.
But there was no unusual reaction from the crowd? Chen Er realized that these old men carrying chicken baskets or doing business might be assassins sent by Zhao Beixing today.
With this in mind, Chen Er gestured for Sun Yunhe to proceed, as he was trying to rescue Zhao Tianming.
"Lord Sun Yunhe, hurry up and take your seat. Today we will all listen to you. We will do whatever you say."
Chen Er's calm words made the muscles on Sun Yunhe's cheeks tremble a few times. Sun Yunhe had actually noticed that there were several familiar figures in the crowd.
Those were all assassins who used to serve Wei Zhongxian. It was obvious that they came here today for Zhao Tianming. However, now that the matter concerned him, Sun Yunhe was also a little nervous.
At this moment, several guys wearing straw hats in the crowd were a little confused, because they didn't know why Sun Yunhe had come here today, and they didn't know whether to continue their actions.
At this moment, there is a person named Zhang Tianfei, who is the leader of these assassins.
Zhang Tianfei's eyes were now very bright and alert as he looked around to see if anyone else had appeared.
It's possible that not only Zhao Beixing sent assassins today, but Wei Zhongxian will also send some, but they're overthinking it.
Ever since the Emperor had involved Sun Yunhe in the case of killing Zhao Tianming, Wei Zhongxian had already decided not to send any assassins. Wei Zhongxian also knew that this matter concerned Sun Yunhe, and he couldn't ignore it.
Just as Sun Yunhe was sitting in his seat, feeling a little troubled, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves from not far away.
Everyone looked on in confusion, wondering what had happened. A member of the Eastern Depot jumped off his horse quickly, and like a gust of wind, his subordinate ran to Sun Yunhe's side.
Sun Yunhe was a little surprised. He didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to send someone here at this time.
The man from the Eastern Depot smirked, and his subordinate leaned close to Sun Yunhe's ear.
“Lord Sun Yunhe, Lord Wei Zhongxian has already said that we can proceed according to the original plan. You should not interfere in this matter. It would be best to let these assassins rescue Zhao Tianming. Of course, Lord Wei Zhongxian has already said that he has means to protect you.”
Sun Yunhe was a little surprised. He didn't expect that at this critical juncture, Wei Zhengxian would still ask him to proceed according to the original plan. So, after Zhao Tianming was rescued by these assassins, what kind of punishment would Chen Er and Sun Yunhe receive?
"Lord Sun Yunhe, the time has come. Give the order quickly, or something might go wrong."
Chen Er said helplessly. He knew that since the people from the Eastern Depot came, they were probably going to take action soon, and things might change in other ways.
Sun Yunhe looked at the sun in the sky and nodded seriously: "Chen Er, although I will listen to you today, I still have to give you a piece of advice: those who do many evil deeds will surely perish." Sun Yunhe said this nonsensical thing to himself.
Sun Yunhe took out a black tag from the box and threw it on the ground.
"When the time comes, hurry up and do it." Once this sign fell to the ground, it was destined that Zhao Tianming's head would roll today. Just as the executioner gripped his long knife with both hands, ready to strike, several masked men suddenly rushed out from the crowd.
These guys were incredibly fast. The leader was Zhang Tianfei, who was wearing a black bamboo hat and looked like an assassin. Zhang Tianfei pulled out several daggers and threw them directly at the executioner's position.
Zhang Tianfei's dagger was incredibly sharp and moved with lightning speed. In the next breath, Zhang Tianfei had plunged the dagger into the executioner's forehead.
The other two daggers instantly killed the two armed guards who were standing beside him and escorting Zhao Tianming.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, completely astonishing the onlookers. They never imagined that killing Zhao Tianming would be so difficult, and that someone would even dare to try and snatch him away.
Chen Er was taken aback. Originally, when Chen Er and the Emperor discussed this matter, they had already planned to drag Sun Yunhe into the mess.
So Zhao Beixing wanted to send someone to rescue Zhao Tianming, but Wei Zhongxian wouldn't agree. However, things have changed now, and Chen Er's sinister gaze swept over Sun Yunhe.
At this moment, Sun Yunhe crossed his legs and closed his eyes, as if he were sunbathing. Chen Er was furious. With a wave of his hand, Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed forward.
At the same time, the Imperial Guards rushed up. These assassins didn't linger in the fight; their main objective was to take Zhao Tianming away. However, what Chen Er didn't expect was that these people moved too quickly. They were about to reach Zhao Tianming's cage and get to his side.
Chen Er certainly wouldn't let the assassin rescue Zhao Tianming, otherwise he would also be in trouble. Just as Chen Er was about to make a move, Sun Yunhe suddenly spoke up.
