Xu Zizhen has not seen Wu Shu for a long time. The two have not met each other since the last time they returned to Zhending Camp. However, during this period, he has been paying attention to Wu Shu, and he believes that Wu Shu has also been paying attention to him.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Wu Shu looked a lot thinner and looked more haggard. This had a lot to do with the fact that the Zuo Route Army had conquered many cities in the Song Dynasty in a short period of time, but his eyes were brighter and deeper.
, looks more stable.
The execution platform had been set up. Wu Shu and another Jin official came and dismounted and took their seats. They looked as relaxed as if they were going on an outing. They even occasionally chatted in a low voice. There was no clue that a dragnet had been set up in this place.
appearance.
Xu Zizhen became more and more nervous. He knew Wushu's ability. This young man who looked polite and polite was only a few years older than him, but he would become the number one general in the expansion of the Jin Kingdom in the future. His martial arts skills were evident, so Xu Zizhen
We are extremely cautious and have publicly executed Taoist Master Xuanyi and other righteous men of the Tianxiahui this time. Although everyone can guess that there must be an ambush, no one can guess what kind of ambush there will be and what methods Wu Shu will use.
You can guess it.
The time has reached noon, and several groups of Jin troops have surrounded the entire law field. It looks very strict, but there are only forty or fifty people in total. If the Tianxiahui or various rebel armies come to rob the law,
Field, these people are not enough to kill, what are the tens of thousands of defenders in the city? The army needs a process from giving orders to taking action. People in the Jianghu naturally have to do it quickly if they want to rob the field. By the time the army arrives, they will probably be gone.
Already.
So Xu Zizhen still glanced at the two rows of shops, including the idlers waiting at the windows to watch the excitement. In his opinion, there was a possibility of an ambush. He judged which people were ambush by the Jin people while turning quickly.
Use your brain to find a reasonable and safe method.
More and more people gathered to watch, including scholars wandering around with nothing to do, residents living nearby, and vegetable farmers wearing bamboo hats and carrying baskets, all of whom were looking forward to seeing the beheading.
The few people who had been escorted earlier had been taken to Xingtai. Their robes were removed, leaving only their middle coats. They were forced to kneel down on the ground, and signs were stuck on the backs of their necks. It was similar to what was shown on TV. At this time, the audience came over.
There were two men, wearing soap coats with only one sleeve. In this early winter day, they had only one arm exposed, and their faces were painted with oil paint into a ferocious grimace.
They were the chief surgeons of this execution, commonly known as executioners. Both of them held a cold sword in their left hands and stepped onto the Xingtai leisurely.
Master Yao walked slowly to Shui Liuli again: "Are you still unwilling to agree?"
Shui Liuli looked at the south, her eyes full of longing, but she didn't even look at Master Yao.
Master Yao rubbed his nose and said, "What a pity." After saying that, he turned back to where he was and stood lazily. Two government servants came up and escorted Shui Liuli to the stage, stopping at the second spot on the left.
Down.
Taoist Priest Xuanyi was also brought up. Her position was first on the left. According to the rules of beheading, the one with the heaviest crime was usually there. The executioner started to chop off the right head one by one, and waited until he reached the left head.
At that moment, the man's soul was basically scared away. There is nothing more panic-stricken than waiting for death. This is also a quite special article in the Jinren's law.
Everything was ready, and the government read out the charges against Taoist Xuanyi and others in public.
Boom!
A soul-chasing cannon sounded, and the executioner took a step forward, held up a large bowl in front of him and offered wine to the knife. He drank a sip of strong wine into his mouth under the dazzling sunlight, and then sprayed out the clear wine with a puff at the steel knife in his hand.
A gorgeous little rainbow is reflected in the sun, which looks cruel and beautiful.
Xu Zizhen started to get a little anxious. So far, he had not seen even one person come to rob the law field, even if they just seemed to have intentions, but the time was almost up.
Boom!
There was another cannon shot, and the two executioners pulled out the plaques from the backs of the two people on the far right and threw them on the ground. They tossed their hair over their heads. Everything was ready, and when the third soul-chasing cannon sounded, the cold
The big sword will cut it down.
Xu Zizhen's heart sank. Could it be that no one from the whole world came? Or was he stopped by the Jin outside the city? His heart was rarely panicked.
Boom!
The last soul-chasing cannon finally sounded, and the executioner's steel knife was raised, but there was still no movement from the audience. Xu Zizhen was desperate. He clenched his hands and had only one thought in his mind, which was to grab the knife and kill Wu.
Even if he knew he would die, he would not hesitate. He did not want Shui Liuli to go to hell alone.
A small hand suddenly stretched out, handed over a few tiles and squeezed his palm without leaving any trace. Xu Zizhen looked over with bloodshot eyes, only to see Su San looking at him with concern.
Xu Zizhen suddenly woke up, and his thoughts of death disappeared.
Damn it, I can't die. The chess pieces he has secretly laid out these days will be of great use in the future. Once he dies here, those chess pieces will be completely useless. Zhao Gou will still be his emperor, and Han Shizhong will still be his emperor.
I will be his general, but my hope of rewriting history is gone.
Xu Zizhen looked at Shui Liuli from a distance, his heart dripping with blood. He watched the person he loved die in front of his eyes. This was undoubtedly a cruel torture. Xu Zizhen's nails dug into his palms, and bloodshot eyes loomed.
The executioner's knife finally fell. Xu Zizhen did not close his eyes, but his eyes widened even more. He wanted to take one more look at Shui Liuli and carve her smile into his memory.
But at this moment, the executioner's knife on the left suddenly changed direction, and tilted strangely when it was halfway down. A scream was heard, and the executioner on the right was slashed into two pieces from shoulder to waist.
, blood and internal organs leaked out, and then he suddenly turned around and rushed to the left. He raised the knife and split the shackles on Shui Liuli's hands and feet.
This change happened as quickly as a rabbit rising and a falcon falling. Even Wu Shu was obviously stunned for a moment. Before he could recover, the executioner shouted: "Start the fight!"
"drink!"
"kill!"
Shouts and roars sounded from various places on the sidelines, and figures emerged one after another. Among them were the scholars who were walking just now, nearby residents, and vegetable farmers carrying baskets. But now they all took off their disguises, revealing the sky.
of murderous intent.
Shui Liuli rushed to Xuan Yi's side as soon as she got out of trouble. After she was arrested, she was accidentally seen by Deputy Commander Wan Yanchang. She was immediately shocked. If Wan Yanchang hadn't been busy recently, she might have fallen into the trap a few days ago.
Although she was caught in the clutches of the devil, she did not suffer much in this way, and her physical strength was the best among all those arrested this time.
There were no fewer than fifty figures jumping out from all over the place, and each one of them pulled out his sword like magic and started fighting with the golden soldiers. The crowd watching was suddenly frightened and ran away, and the scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.
The official next to Wu Shu looked calm and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you want to close the net?"
"Wait a moment." Wu Shu shook his head, with a smile on his lips, "I haven't seen Xu Zizhen yet, so don't be in a hurry."
