Dai Li also frowned: "General, her move directly pushed us into the corner.
At tomorrow's square meeting, public opinion may have completely swung to her side."
There was no expression on Ye Cheng's face.
He listened to Kong Xuan's report quietly for a long time before slowly uttering two words.
"Very good."
An Xin and Dai Li were stunned.
Very good? This is so urgent, where can I go?
Ye Cheng stood up, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"The better she performs, the higher the stage is, and the more enthusiastic the audience's emotions are aroused by her.
"The more she looks forward to my performance tomorrow."
He looked at An Xin and Dai Li.
"The plan remains unchanged."
"She wants me to be a narrow-minded evil person, then I will show it to her."
"She wants me to be a supporting role in her performance, then I will let her know who is the real protagonist of this drama."
Ye Cheng's voice is not loud, but it carries a decisive force.
"An Xin, Dai Li, remember what I taught you."
"Tomorrow, when I say the word "get started".
Just ask your people to shout those words to me with the loudest voice!"
I want the people in the entire Anhui City to hear it clearly. I want them to know who they sympathize with!
His eyes flashed coldly.
"An Qing...or whoever you are. You like acting, don't you?
I've already set up the stage for you tomorrow.
I just don't know if you, a pretty girl, can handle the game book I prepared for you!"
The next day, noon.
Wancheng, central square.
This place was originally a place for daily rest and entertainment for the people in the city, but today, it is shrouded in an atmosphere of tension and expectation.
The square is surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.
Those who arrived late could only stand on tiptoes, crane their necks, and look forward through the gaps in the crowd.
The windows on the second floor of the tea house and restaurant have long been occupied by people, with their heads poking out like nestlings waiting to be fed.
Dayan’s soldiers set up a cordon around the square to separate the crowd and free up a large space in the center.
In the center of the venue, there is a half-person-high wooden platform, which looks a bit crude in the sunlight.
This is today, the place for talks to determine the future direction of the world.
"Come on, come on! General Ye is here!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone's eyes instantly turned to the east side of the square.
I saw Ye Cheng, dressed in white, walking slowly, escorted by a group of soldiers.
He did not wear any armor, nor did he wear the seal of Duke An Guo. He was just like an ordinary rich man, handsome and calm.
But the overwhelming aura on his body made everyone who saw him hold their breath subconsciously.
This is the man who single-handedly overthrew the Zhou Dynasty and established a new dynasty!
This is the Ye Cheng who made the demon clan fearful and made the demon kings in the world surrender!
The eyes of the people were full of awe and worship.
Ye Cheng turned a blind eye to the gazes around him. He walked straight up to the high platform and sat down on the only chair.
Then he closed his eyes, as if falling asleep.
This magnanimity made the audience gasp in amazement again.
In the crowd, An Xin and Dai Li each took their elite men and scattered them in different corners.
They put on civilian clothes and looked no different from the people around them.
But their clenched fists and highly focused eyes revealed their inner tension.
Can the plan succeed?
An Xin looked at the calm figure on the stage and felt uncertain.
That woman is so good at acting, can her brother-in-law really stand up to her?
While everyone was waiting anxiously, there was a commotion at the other end of the square.
"The Empress of Zhou... An Qing is here!"
The crowd automatically separated into a road.
The Puppet Zhou's honor guard slowly drove in.
There is no gorgeous carriage with eight white horses, nor are there the hundreds of civil and military officials cheering in front and behind.
There was only a simple green cloth carriage, accompanied by Yang Ding, driving slowly and slowly.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the stage.
The car curtain opened and An Qing stepped out.
Today, An Qing did not wear the dragon robe that symbolized the authority of the emperor, but just put on a light blue dress.
Today, An Qing did not apply any makeup, and her plain face looked a little sickly pale.
Her long hair was tied up with a simple wooden hairpin. She didn't look like a superior empress, but like a girl next door who had just recovered from a serious illness. She was fragile and lovable.
She stood quietly like that, her eyes passing through the crowd of heads, past the layers of soldiers, and finally landed on the white figure with her eyes closed and concentrating on the high platform.
Then, An Qing walked towards the high platform step by step.
· There was silence in the square, and everyone was infected by her sad but resilient aura.
She stepped onto the high platform and stopped three steps away from Ye Cheng.
The sun shone on her face, making her already pale complexion even more transparent.
Ye Cheng seemed to feel something and slowly opened his eyes.
Eye facing each other.
Time, at this moment, seems to have stopped.
Ye Cheng's heart trembled suddenly.
Those eyes...
Those eyes that he thought he had forgotten long ago, but turned out to have been engraved deep in his soul.
It is definitely not something that the tyrannical, selfish and crazy empress An Qing can imitate!
This look is exactly the same as the look in the eyes of the little girl who always followed him in the palace garden more than ten years ago, pulling on the corner of his clothes and shouting "Brother Ye Cheng" in a clear voice!
How is it possible?
A person's appearance can be changed and his temperament can be disguised, but what lies deep in his eyes cannot be changed!
Ye Cheng's mind went blank.
All the plans he had prepared for today fell apart in front of these eyes.
A ridiculous idea that he could not suppress grew crazily in his heart.
She... is really An Qing.
She didn't say anything. She really got rid of the control of the demons and turned back to her original An Qing!
Just when he was shocked, An Qing spoke.
Her voice was very soft, with an imperceptible tremor, as if she had exhausted all her strength.
"Brother Ye Cheng..."
"Long time no see."
Eight simple words, like a key, instantly opened the door of Yecheng's dusty memories.
The past that he had deliberately forgotten came flooding back like a tidal wave.
He remembered that when she was a child, because she was afraid of thunder, she ran to his house crying and hid under his quilt and refused to come out.
He remembered that she secretly changed into eunuch's clothes in order to eat a bunch of candied haws outside the palace, but he caught her and burst into tears.
He recalled that before he led the troops to the expedition, she had red eyes and gave him a crooked peace charm embroidered by herself...
Those pictures overlapped with the pale and familiar face in front of him.
Under the high platform.
An Xin saw the flash of confusion and emotion on Ye Cheng's face, and her heart instantly sank to the bottom.
It’s over!
It’s completely over!
Brother-in-law, he... was fooled!
She subconsciously wanted to give orders to the people around her and wanted to force the plan to start.
But her reason told her, no!
