When Liu Bei heard this, his body shook slightly. He raised his head and looked at Guan Yu on the city tower.

I saw Guan Yu looking at him, his eyes full of concern.

Liu Bei held back his tears and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he could no longer let Guan Yu worry about him.

Guan Yu on the city tower felt a little comforted when he saw Liu Bei holding back his tears.

He knew that he could not let Liu Bei take risks for him, and that he would protect this brotherly friendship in his own way.

After a while, Xi Yu slowly came by surrounded by everyone.

Many people looked at him in unison, their eyes full of anger.

Xi Yu was amused and laughed at the reaction of the people.

He never thought that his decision would arouse such great public outrage, as if he had really become a villain at this moment.

Xi Yu came to the prepared main seat and sat down slowly. He frowned and said loudly, "Everything is quiet!"

However, the people were still excited, and many people even knelt down and pleaded for Guan Yu.

"Prime Minister, although General Guan Yu is guilty, he will not die!" A commoner shouted loudly, his face full of earnestness.

"Yes, Prime Minister. General Guan Yu is loyal, righteous and brave, and he will never do anything to tease the palace maids. He must have been wronged. I hope the Prime Minister will observe clearly." Another commoner also said.

Seeing that everyone was still noisy, Xi Yu's face darkened, he suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Give me peace of mind! Whoever talks randomly will be punished for being guilty!"

His voice was as loud as a bell, with unquestionable majesty. Everyone was shocked by his momentum and gradually became quiet.

Xi Yu glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Guan Yu teased the palace maids, and the evidence was conclusive, and he should be executed according to the law. As the prime minister, I must execute him. I did this not to target someone, but to maintain the justice of the law and make decisions for the little people. I am the same in other places."

Xi Yu showed a serious expression on his face, as if everything he did was for justice.

When they heard that they were the decision of the little people, many people fell into deep thought. When they recalled the past, it seemed that Xi Yu had indeed done some good things for them, the common people, in some things. Some people began to whisper and whisper.

"Maybe the Prime Minister is right, he is trying to maintain the law." A commoner whispered.

"But General Guan Yu doesn't seem like a person who can do that." Another commoner retorted.

Everyone's hearts were full of contradictions. They felt sympathy for Guan Yu's experience, and they also felt that Xi Yu's words seemed to make some sense.

The whole scene fell into a subtle atmosphere.

Seeing that the people looked different, Xi Yu knew in his heart that they were still hesitating.

He reiterated again: "Often people who do bad things may be forgiven, but Guan Yu is different. As a general, he has a high position and a powerful position and should set an example. Therefore, the punishment must be heavier."

Then, Xi Yu turned his gaze to Liu Bei. "Liu Bei, do you think Guan Yu really teased the palace maids?"

Xi Yu stared at Liu Bei tightly, waiting for his answer.

Liu Bei's face was pale and his heart was in great pain.

He could only speak with difficulty: "Yes."

When Liu Bei said this, he felt that his heart was about to be broken.

When Xi Yu heard Liu Bei's answer, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. As the prime minister, I must make the decision for the palace maids. I cannot let the palace maids die unjustly."

A hint of pride appeared on Xi Yu's face, as if he had already controlled the whole situation.

Liu Bei stood there, his body trembling slightly, and pain drowned him like a tide.

He looked at Xi Yu, his eyes full of grief and helplessness.

Xi Yu's righteous look made him unable to refute.

Liu Bei's heart was full of regret. He hated his powerlessness and hated that he could not protect Guan Yu.

He wanted to refute Xi Yu loudly and tell everyone that Guan Yu was wronged, but he couldn't do so.

He knew that once he retorted, it would only make things worse.

Liu Bei clenched his fists tightly, his nails sank deeply into his palms, but he could not feel any pain.

The scenes of fighting with Guan Yu kept appearing in his mind, and those former ambitions have now become shattered.

Xi Yu looked at the painful Liu Bei, without any sympathy. He continued to say passionately: "As the prime minister, I must uphold justice and make decisions for the people. Guan Yu committed such a serious crime and must not tolerate it."

Liu Bei was filled with despair when he listened to Xi Yu's words.

Yu turned his eyes to Guan Yu on the city tower and asked loudly again: "Guan Yu, have you pleaded guilty?"

Guan Yu stood high, and the wind blew his white prison uniform. His face was haggard, but his eyes still had a ray of determination. After a moment of silence, Guan Yu raised his head slightly and said loudly: "I confess my guilt."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Guan Yu looked at the reactions of everyone below and felt calm. He knew that if he did not plead guilty, it would only make Liu Bei even more embarrassed.

He didn't want to put Liu Bei in a desperate situation because of himself.

Guan Yu took a deep breath and continued, "I, Guan Yu, have been open and honest all my life. But I have indeed been at fault for this incident. I am willing to accept punishment and correct the law."

When Xi Yu heard Guan Yu's answer, he nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, Guan Yu is worthy of being a hero, dare to act and take responsibility. Since you plead guilty, I will deal with it according to law."

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and tears burst out from his eyes again.

He knew that Guan Yu was protecting him and making the final sacrifice for their brotherhood. Liu Bei's heart was filled with pain and guilt, and he secretly swore that he would avenge Guan Yu.

Xi Yu's face was cold and a hint of majesty was revealed in his eyes.

He said coldly: "Since that's the case, then you can be executed when the time comes. It is wrong for the people to plead with mercy. Because Guan Yu himself pleaded guilty."

Outside the court, the people who gathered to plead for mercy looked at each other, with a confused look on their faces.

They had arrived with hope, hoping to save General Guan Yu whom they admired in their hearts with the power of everyone.

But now, when they learned that Guan Yu had pleaded guilty, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xi Yu felt very funny when he saw everyone's expression.
